Name: Gabrielius “Gabriel” Hawkins (Gabrielius is the Latin form of Gabriel)
Nickname: Hawkeye or Hawk (Gabriel is known by numerous names, due both to his spiritual behavior and his childhood with a tribe, including things such as Shaman, Father, Priest, Arch-Angel, Reverend, and so on, usually called such by friends though these words or occasional used as insults. However, he is most often called Hawk-eye or Hawk, because of his name and his skill at marksmanship, and tends to go by this name.)
Codename: Archangel (Gabriel believes that your personal life and war should be separarated. As such, he has a codename that he requires his comrades call him in the Battle Room.)
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Appearance: (Gabriel) is an athletic boy with brilliant blue eyes and long, dark hair, a few strands of which are usually always is in his eyes. His clothing changes daily, though the attire in the above image is his personal favorite, and he always wears some shade of green somewhere in his clothing due to his membership in the Lizard Army. He always wears a silver chain around his neck with a simple, silver cross attached to it and in his pocket he keeps rosary, a set of prayer beads, at all times.
Personality: Gabriel is a kind and compassionate child, rarely driven to anger or sadness, and is bright and happy most of his life. As such, he acts as a light in most of the groups he finds himself in and has become the heart of the Lizard Army. He is very trusting and easily trusted, a loyal friend, and a brilliant strategien. All of these traits would lead one to believe that Gabriel would make a perfect Commander, and he just might, but he has one characteristic that his supervisors consider a weakness and it constantly pulls him down. His “weakness” is that he refuses to kill anyone, even in the falsely-fatal realm of the Battle Room, always aiming to get an opponent in the arm or leg. This is due to Gabriel’s very spiritual manner, brought on by his family and time as a missionary’s child, and he is not soon to loss it. He is often found reading the Bible and can quote any scripture or line, always praying to his lord before every battle. This has caused Gabriel to become a bit of the Spiritual leader for the Lizard Army and when people are in need of help or want to talk, they usually come to him. Still, despite his spiritual behavior, Gabriel is very relaxed and laid-back, not one to push his religion on to others or force anyone to listen to any long-winded lectures on the Catholic ways. His time in the African jungles did more than make him spiritual, however. He also learned that he did not need a many items to survive, and so he owns very little, even compared to the other students.
History: Gabriel is the son of an upstanding, well-known Catholic Priest of Earth and a famous, female Christian writer and missionary. His parents both came from Polish families and, as such, Gabriel is a pure-blood Pole, yet he was born in the depths of the Amazon Rainforest while his parents built Missions for the local, African tribes. A year after their arrival twins, a boy and a girl, were born to the family, a taboo in the world at the time, as so they decided to to remain in Africa.
Raised in Africa since his birth, the boy was never taken to school and was never written up in any census or record. His parents, however, taught him personally and the boy showed great potential, able to master two languages (Polish and the local Swahili) by the age of four and a basic English. At the age of five, Gabriel’s younger sister fell from a cliff near their tribal home and drowned, her body never being found. Shortly after this, Gabriel’s parents left the mission in the hands of one of their fellow missionaries, their closest friend and the man whom Gabriel was named after, and returned to Poland, enrolling him in school while is father returned to his work as a Priest.
It was during this time that the government took an interest in Gabriel and offered him a place in the Battle School. His parents were hesitant, as they did not belief in war, but Gabriel saw it as a fun opportunity and convinced his family to allow him to go, never telling them that the true reason he wanted to go was to forget about his poor sister. Gabriel rose to the top of his launchie group quickly, but his “weakness” always kept him from great power. Still, he showed great potential and grasped all taught very quickly, despite his somewhat poor understanding of English. Over the years he has master English and become a spectacular soldier in the Battle Room, but his “weakness” still keeps him from a Commander position.
Other/Skills: Gabriel, while unwilling to kill, is an excellent marksman, able to freeze all four of an opponents limbs in only five seconds or to fire at a part of their chest or back that would never be fatal. Gabriel also possesses a great skill in hand-to-hand combat, from his time in the jungle, and a great knowledge of warrior ways. He was taught a great many things by the warriors of his childhood tribe, such as how to build a spear, how to treat wounds, and so on.
