I've had a burning desire to roleplay him with you guys ; A ;. Also to mention, I understand this character has a lot of potential for god-modding giving his age and abilities I described below. However I give you my word to the greater benefit of this community I would not, and will never abuse his powers or abilities. He's designed specifically to be a more calmer, and tranquil character unlike my usual quick-trigger characters; in short he's not set up to abuse his own position. I also reviewed his character with Ciel and Taker in the past, and they voiced no objections to him. Check with them to verify this, however! Oh, in case you don't know.

Relationship: Separated Build: Slender, tall, and elegant. Height: 6'1" Weight: 170LBS Physical Age: Early 30's. Actual Age: Unknown, believed to have existed since the beginning. Position: High Guardian Elder, Angel of Revelation, Spirit of Truth Sub Skills: Apothecary, Astrology, and Alchemise. Face Claim: Medicis from Death Connection Personality Gabriel's appearance is often tranquil and soothing. He has known to be mischievous on the odd occasion, and is not beyond enjoying humour. He feels a great amount of love and affection for those angel's under his command, but refrains from showing it. He is hardly innocent, or ignorant of the world as a whole, and can actually become rather pessimistic and cold when enforcing the decisions of the counsel. He is down to earth, intellectual, and very resourceful, but none to kind to those who lose their faith. Gabriel Description A charmingly handsome man with a pale shade of smooth alabaster flesh; layers of white cloth hang off of the man's well toned physique with an almost subtle air of vanity. But pride was quite a sin, and Gabriel did not endorse such things. He merely accepted the fact he was ravenously beautiful, with a set of icy-blue eyes that seemed to resonate an aura of power all of their accord. Golden locks cascade down around his shoulders in heavy tendrils of half tamed curls. The wild locks bushing along the edges of the elegant wings that remain folded along his spine. Such wondrous wings they were-- each feather a soft white hue and seeming to contain subtle golden flecks within them. In light the wings would seem to almost shimmer as a result. Dianna Description (This is an alternate form used by Gabriel when he does not desire to be known.) A feisty woman with a golden shade of tanned flesh, and a glowing completion. An intricate white ceremonial robe flowed from her slender frame, ending-mid calf and contrasting to the dark high-heeled boots rising to the thigh. Golden silk sheets hung from golden hooks along the robe, making a cape at her back, and a matching skirt around her waist. Arching from her slender spine was a flow of creamy white feathered wings, pure in shade and touched only with the slightest hint of tan around the tips of the flight feathers along the lower end of her wings. A silver cross hung around her neck, resting between her cleavage, matching ear rings hooked through each of her ears. The accessories matched the storm grey colour of her eyes which seemed to flow off gentle warmth of mirth. The female seemed to easy going and gentle, like a warm autumn wind. The only thing that seemed out of place was the bandages that wrapped around her slender wrists. Her body is littered with scars from the wounds she has absorbed from living beings. Dominant Abilities
Weakness Gabriel walks a very fine line between Heaven and Earth. He has made many sacrifices for his faith that he has started to regret. In the past he was an extremely self-sacrificing individual and went to extreme lengths to protect his charges, or fellow angels. As age and regrets shaped him, he slowly became a man of opportunity and is not beyond sacrificing others for the 'greater good' of the whole Kingdom... even himself. History This elder angel has existed since the beginning, and has witnessed many of the classic events within the Heavens. Events such as the fall of Lucifer, and the creation of mankind. Gabriel's story is a tragic one of betrayal, pain, and sacrifice. It started easily enough, being graced into the world at the right hand of the father. He was a charming and inspiring youth who showed nothing but potential for great things. With a kind hand for even the smallest of earths creations, Gabriel started his life as a simple messenger for the divine. He traveled great distances carrying the words of his King on his silk tongue, helping the children of his father. It was amidst his travels Gabriel became close to Lucifer, another angel. Several of their missions to the other realms had crossed their paths together. The two shared a similar fiery air about their spirits, but where Lucifer desired recognition for his triumphs, Gabriel only bowed his head humbly. Their love was destined from beginning, almost as if they had been made to complement each other. As Gabriel aged his role as a messenger was slowly replaced with the growing discord among the heavens. There was talk of a rebellion, whispers of coming change. Gabriel, seeking the truth started to investigate these rumours. Lucifer learned of Gabriel's apparent interest, and approached him innocently enough. Unsuspecting of his lover, Gabriel revealed the information he had been collecting, and sought Lucifer's assistance. Lucifer suggested that to learn as much about these rumours, they should try to become a part of the rebellion and report what they learned back to their king. Gabriel took to the idea quickly, never once doubting the friend he had known since the beginning. Gabriel never saw the signs, not at first. He truly believed that Lucifer was merely acting. But the act never ended; even when they were in private. Lucifer was consumed with envy and pride-- and Gabriel? He was too blind with his love for the man to see any fault in him. By the time that Gabriel woke up to see Lucifer for what he had become-- he no longer recognized the man he had loved. It had been on the eve of the battle, when Lucifer approached Gabriel to tell him the truth. Gabriel was tempted by the offer his lover had given him. He could rule at the man's side for eternity, recognized and worshiped for everything he did-- instead of being over looked and ignored. But Gabriel was too shaken by the darkness he found in Lucifer’s spirit. The man had lied to him, tried to pull him into the darkness and denounce him from their King. Deciding to give the man a taste of that pain, he agreed to give his loyalty to Lucifer in the battle. But when that battle came, Gabriel stood on the side of his King. Filled with so many emotions he had never experienced. Watching the pain of despair and betray that filled Lucifer eyes, was the hardest thing Gabriel had ever done. Both consumed by rage at the other's decision, they clashed with a fury that surprised even the other angels around them. Sword for sword they were matched, the battlefield around them blurring into a mess they didn't care for. Gabriel however, had one thing on his side that Lucifer did not. He had the love of his king to fall back onto. That love for his faith, so strong it could very well tear Gabriel in two. For all his pain, Gabriel became the Spirit of Truth that day, and the Angel of Revelation. While blessed with the praise of his King, the Angel could not help but feel cursed. Gabriel would watch with tears streaming down his face as Lucifer fell from grace, taking his heart with him. Many years passed, and resentment, and betrayal grew thick between the two as Lucifer created his own Kingdom with the angels that had fallen with him. Gabriel ascended to the first sphere and the right side of the Throne, his strength on that day a vision of inspiration for all that had witnessed. But Gabriel was no longer the innocent being he had been before that battle, and he would never be that person again. When mankind was created, Gabriel designed a system of angels he trusted most. He trained them in the pain he had come to know, and counseled them on how to resist the temptation of darkness. It was these angels that became the original 'Guardians' of the third sphere. These angels swore an oath to protect humans from the darkness of demons, and the corruption of Lucifer himself. There had always been an academy for training to be a messenger, muse, or a warrior. But Gabriel took it upon himself to add another study option. You could become a guardian. Diana Alias Gabriel often grows tired of the never ending amount of paper work his job has dissolved into. He misses the thrill of being on the front lines, and has special crafted an alternative persona known as 'Diana'. None know the woman is truly him, for he has taking every precaution for her to recognized as her own self. The woman is a second sphere guardian, who Gabriel becomes when he wants to have a little fun and escape the watchful eye of his fellow elders. Diana is a preceptor/mentor for younger angels, and teaches healing classes at the academy. She is known as a mischievous woman, and demands respect with her dominating personality. High Guardian Elder Gabriel is at the top of the Guardian Chain. Each manager from guardian divisions report directly to him. He is responsible for over-viewing applicants to the Guardian Program, and has the final say before they enter the training program. As an elder, he reports to the counsel of heaven regarding the performance of his Guardians.
