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: Christine Adams, his widowed mother; Zachary ‘Zack’ Hawkins, his best friend, ostensibly doing Computer Sciences, but actually majoring in being lazy and slacking off; Chris Weaver, 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 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.
A few notes: Firstly, I'm a Brit, born and bred, so excuse any mistakes I may have made concerning the American education system in Gabe's history. Hopefully, you get the idea. Secondly, re-reading it, it occurs to me that his background is written for a rather 'present-day' existence; it slipped my mind that it's a somewhat futuristic world. I *think* it still works, but if it doesn't, let me know, and I can tweak it.
If there's space for ole' Gabe in your game, I'm ready to roll!
