Abilities [18]BAB [6]BDB [4]Skills [11]Feats [10]Powers [27]Weakness [-10]Total [66]Gabriel Adams was, until recently, a normal kid. Well..mostly normal. He didn’t have all that many friends, and since he was old enough to understand that his dad had died and was never coming back, his room had been full of posters of far-away countries. His dad was a cultural attaché, and when Gabe was small he regaled him with tales. He always promised to take him with him the next time he had to leave the country. He never did, his flight exploding in mid-air due to severe engine malfunction as he flew back from Spain to celebrate Gabe’s 6th birthday. Quiet and shy, Gabriel has always walked a fine line between doing well in his schoolwork and not being noticed, always getting good grades but being quiet in class. The only subjects he showed any interest in were languages and parts of history lessons dealing with foreign cultures. Now doing a degree in culture studies, Gabe’s having what he considers a fun time; learning about far away places, hanging out with the two or three friends he has, not getting beaten up on..of course, that was before a few weeks ago, when he cracked the tiled wall of the bathroom by accidentally channelling sonic energy through his hands.Until his powers began to manifest, Gabe wanted very little from life: to learn about other cultures and to visit them. Ironically, since his father’s death he’s had a terminal fear of flying, to the point where he won’t get on a plane. Now he wants to have his old life back; he knows what happens to mutants, and he really doesn’t want it to happen to him.Important People: James Adams, Gabe's decased father, who was a cultural attache. Died in a plane crash 12 years ago. Left enough money that Gabe and his mother will be comfortable for life (certainly in Smalltown). Christine Adams, Gabe's widowed mother, 42 years old. She was a photographer until Gabe was born, wherupon she stopped working. After James' death, she returned to photography to keep herself occupied. She does work for the local paper sometimes - while it doesn't pay well, it's more about the fact she has something to do than it is about the money. Zachary ‘Zack’ Hawkins, age 18. Gabe's best friend, ostensibly doing Computer Sciences, but actually majoring in being lazy and slacking off.Chris Weaver, age 18. Fellow Cultural Studies student and friend of Gabe’s who, while not quite as good at the subject as Gabe, is certainly more personable and more well-liked. (Not that Gabe’s hated..it’s more along the lines of ‘Gabe? Gabe who?’)Appearance: Gabe’s 5’8” with a slim build. He looks shorter due to a tendency to stoop and slouch, a hold-over from years of avoiding attention. He has tousled blonde hair to the nape of his neck, parted in the middle, and soft blue eyes that tend to have a faraway look in them. Gabe hasn't got any piercings and doesn't wear jewelery, with one exception. Around his neck on a thin silver chain hangs a pendant; a simple piece of metal inscribed with a Chinese character. The symbol translates as 'Courage'. The pendant was James' gift to his son on his 5th birthday; the last one of Gabe's birthdays he got to see. Gabe never goes anywhere without it. Demeanour: Gabe is soft-spoken and shy in his native tongue, yet is fluent in four foreign languages and learning more. When he speaks a foreign language he seems both more animated and more self-assured, all nervousness forgotten. Gabe’s got a keen eye for what makes people tick, and if he could just believe in himself a little more, he’d make a great diplomat one day.EDIT: This attachment's the closest I've managed to find to a picture that captures Gabe. It really needs to be younger, and without the proto-beard, but the hair's pretty much dead on, and except for the listed problems, the resemblance is pretty good. I'd prefer a better picture, but I'm hopeless at finding images on the 'net. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
