The Messenger
Wherever Gabriel Quatrevaux appears, revolutions follow close behind. Or is it the other way round?
Architect of War
Gabriel's business is war. He's made a life, and a lifestyle, out of it. From how he tells it, war is all he's ever truly known. He's trained in the lance as well as the sword and shield, and possesses summoner-like powers of unknown provenance. He travels with a small band of mercenaries known as The Fallen, and is recognized as their unofficial leader due mostly to his ability to soundly kick the asses of everyone else present.
Halone's Child
Gabriel professes to have no family, which anyone might rightfully find hard to believe. He was left on a doorstep in the Brume as an infant; rather than any one family adopting him, he was cared for by the community, with everyone taking turns with the extra mouth to feed. Thus he grew up with no stable home or relatives, but with the best his carers in the Brume could offer him, including a rudimentary education that earned him a place at the renowned Scholasticate.
The Merc's Merc
As a teenager, Gabriel dropped out of the Scholasticate to travel with several different mercenary bands, learning the ways of battle. He had discovered his powers and wanted to put them to the best use possible. First he fought in the final battles of the Dragonsong War--though as a hired lance, not as a citizen of the Holy See. Then came Doma, where he became friendly with the Confederates of the Ruby Sea. Then, Ala Mhigo and its Resistance. These days, he can be found in the trenches at Bozja, fighting for a people and a history not his own.
Gabriel's Abilities
Gabriel can cast several unique spells and use uncommon abilities. Why and how he is able to do this is unclear even to him. In fact, his parents were unwitting victims of the now-defunct Operation Wyrm's Talon, which attempted to groom supersoldier-like dragoons over several generations.
He is trained as a dragoon and as a gladiator, with a few Paladin-like abilities such as Clemency and Passage of Arms included due to his unique physiology.
Below is a list of additional abilities Gabriel has manifested or will manifest.
Breaking Wheel: Wide donut AoE that does wind-aspected damage
Breaking Lash: Similar to Breaking Wheel, but line AoE of wind-aspected damage
Spirits Having Flown: Rush attack spurred by wind aether in the vague shape of wings
OOC Information
Hi! I'm Alecto. I also play Crystalline Fosterman, Marcelloix Axios, and some others.
Some things you should know about me:
I'm a novelist IRL, and that tends to show up in my RP as well. :blobsweat:
I don't get into ERP anymore, so if our characters end up going in that direction, I'll probably ask to go to a fade-to-black!
My favorite RP genres are intrigue and adventure, and I'm planning to combine both for Gabriel's storyline.
Feel free to send me a tell if you see me ingame (Gabriel Quatrevaux*Mateus) or send me a friend request on Discord (alecto#1433).
