Gabriel

Gabriel is a 19 year old who is a survivor of the Reiss orphanage massacre. Arriving at the Orphanage as an infant, it is the first life he has ever known. After the massacre however, he was picked up by an institution known as GORR where he was not only trained to kill but taught many aspects of the world at large.
== Personality ==
Gabriel comes at first as cold and distant, finding little enjoyment from companionship most of the time and being solely silent. Though he has a charm about him which makes him more interactive to those who choose to interact with him, he watches his interactions and analyzes ideals about the person from their way of dress or demeanor. He uses this to initiate conversation to learn more about them. He possesses an iron demeanor, showing little emotional connection through his expressions or his words when speaking to those he cares nothing about. Gabriel though possesses no cruel intent due to this however. Much of how he acts comes from his own opinion of vampires and how he handles himself, believing he must form no attachments and hold no bonds so that he may not end up hurting ones he loves. He in fact will give off a kind charm to the people who welcome him and as such gives a warm feeling to those who treat him kindly, giving off a friendly aura. He though has a self doubt within him and about who he is. It's the manner of his Vampirism, he has seen first hand how many Vampires, treat others, especially Humans. This has lead to him garnering some form of self loathing, thinking he is but an Animal who is designed to kill, fearing he may forget his own humanity. For as long as he can remember, he has also felt a large void form in himself, as though a literal piece of himself has been ripped from his being. He has attributed much of this to his constant isolation though he feels as though it is something more beyond companionship. Gabriel is very fluid in what he thinks or says, mainly doing what would benefit him or his goals most of the time but isn't one to shy away from helping those who cross his path, though he does not actively seek to do good. He cares little for the experiences or activities of others, instead choosing for the most part what would be beneficial for him in his own goals.
== Backstory ==
Gabriel remember little of anything before the orphanage, only taking in the most broad information possible. Being born in what would seem to be a facility of sorts, remembering barely any detail of who was there, even his own parents. He remembers being taken from the facility at night and after an unknown amount of time, being taken to a location that he knows now as the Reiss Orphanage. It is at the orphanage that he had grew up in, spending all of his time as a young child within it's walls. It was until the event of the massacre that Gabriel survived that would he experience the outside world for the first time. He was found and introduced just days later to a program called GORR, they said they would raise Gabriel and take him on as one of their own. Gabriel spent years in the program, being taught many things, especially how to kill. After a few years, he had left the program and gone on to his own, working as a mercenary to make money. This continued on for many years as Gabriel grew in skill and ability, making him one of the most feared and sought after private contractors in the world.
=== The Reiss Orphanage ===
Gabriel was brought to the Orphanage as an toddler, barely knowing any world beyond that of the orphanage for practically all his childhood. He learned much about what life was like there, Annie, Ben, and Avery being his teachers and the Orphanage his classroom. He was very reclusive when he arrived, even turning away from Annie when he was taken in, though as time passed he had become more open with them. Even as he accepted Annie and her siblings as what he considered his family, he would still be introverted, preferring to stick to himself for a time. He was also very silent, living up to a "do not speak unless spoken to" type of attitude as he never really engaged others himself. Even as the others arrived to the orphanage, he was always behind Annie, looking from his only protection. It was not that easy for him to form bonds with people, even with the children at the orphanage. He usually was very shy and timid, leading to him sometimes afraid to interact with people he doesn't already know. It took him a long time to come out of his shell, gradually interacting more and more with others as time went on.
=== Post-Reiss Massacre ===
Gabriel has become one of the most feared and sought after mercenaries in the world, noted for being able to complete all of his missions in a covert fashion and often cited with never being caught. his services are highly coveted across the world by many of the undergrounds' elite. His presence across the world is feared by those in power, often being the one called upon for political assassinations as well as highly dangerous covert operations conducted by many military organizations.

== Potentials ==
=== Shinigami ===
Zanpakuto - The name of Gabriel' Zanpakuto is unknown to him, he has rarely if ever been in sync with it and it rarely if ever appears or speaks to him. He is incapable of accessing his inner world to interact with it except for some moments within his dream where his soul is at rest. Though these provide little opportunity to commune with it let alone learn it's name. During his training with GORR, he was introduced to the weapon as an antique though once he first came in contact with it. 
After training in the usage of his Zanpakuto for the first time, Gabriel had learned it’s name to be The Mother of Shadows. He, as well, gained greater access to it’s abilities and powers such as his Shikai. This naturally progressed his strength to be a few times stronger than he was with it before as well as further increasing his skill with his shinigami abilities.
==== Shikai ====
The Shikai is the second evolution in a Zanpakuto's existence, allowing the user to gain access to the name of their Spirit and Inner World as well as increased powers and abilities. Gabriel had achieved it while training with Gerrard Leese's bodyguard, Jack. The spirit that inhabits Gabriel's Inner World was revealed to him with the moniker, The Mother of Night. Having long silky black hair and being wrapped in cloth as dark as the night sky. She wields a long staff which possesses a small blue flame at it's tip which instead of emitting light, apparently emits darkness. She possesses an irregular beauty which can captivate even the coldest of people, being youthful and having a pale skin that even glows. Her eyes are covered by what seems to be dried wax, hiding what may lie beneath.
The change mostly occurs upon Gabriel himself. The change darkens his coat, lengthening it to his calves as well as making it go from a navy blue to a deep dark blue, nearly black.The end of his coat looks to be extending energy from it, similar to crow feathers or waving cloth only in a deep blue color. This has been attributed as a way of dissipating excess reiatsu. The coat also gains a larger cowl, extending downward through his collar and gaining a similar design to his coat as it also gains the appearance of wisping cloth and feathers down to his upper back much like a fur collar coat.
To Activate a Shikai, an incantation must be used:
Darkness in hand and heir to the damned
I bring upon the matriarch that kings for have sinned
Forever pure to The Mother of Night I have Lived
Bring your child power and Darkness shall I Demand.
Shikai Ability: The powers that the Shikai presents are those of enhanced physical abilities and effectiveness of many techniques already in use by Gabriel that use reishi as well as the effectiveness of the reishi itself. The transformation that occurs here also extends to his blade. The sword physically manifests itself into two different swords, a broad and heavy cutlass, and a long and light rapier, both accenting Gabe's fighting style. An exceptional ability granted by his shikai as well is the process of his strength greatly increasing under the veil of night. Gabe is able to slowly but exponentially grow in power as his continues fighting while shades from light, meaning the shadows being a preferable setting for his fights. One last trait of his that grows on a baseline that exceeds the others is his general speed as well, getting far faster than his base form would allow, this enables him to far exceed any expectation for speed that he would otherwise be able to achieve in other situations.
==== Shinigami Techniques ====
Hohō - Hohō is a defensive fighting style that relates to speed, agility, and footwork. Gabriel' usage of it is quite proficient as his greatest attribute being speed, he became akin to it as soon as he began to practice it. It allows him the ability to work his speed and technique into a more controlled and advantageous environment where he can manipulate his speed into combat more effectively an untrained person would.
* Shunpo - Shunpo is a technique where a person concentrates their speed into the process of moving from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. The casual usage of this ability usually results in movement being faster than the human eye can follows though this is a base usage and can be further enhanced through Reiryoku augmentation.
Prodigious Reiryoku - Gabriel is capable of manipulating the energies one can use as a Shinigami. Being capable of casting Kido he had learned during his training to control his powers as a Joker. Emitting it in such as way to be effective in combat both as spells and as an enhancement to his own natural abilities. Even before he was able to unlocked the powers of his zanpakuto, the level of Reiryoku were still quite exceptionally high. Certainly higher than any normal shinigami, this allows him more versatility towards reiryoku based abilities such as Kido. This is further developed through his training, being able to learn how to use it even more effectively as it became stronger through his development as a shinigami enabling him far greater potency and usage.
* Immense Reiatsu - Reiatsu is the force exerted by ones Reiryoku, the more Reiryoku one has is equal to more force that is exerted by their Reiatsu and as such it can be used offensively and defensively.It could also be used to exert intimidation against an opponent if the exertion of the Reiatsu was high enough and applied the necessary force to do so. Gabriel has always had a very high level of spiritual pressure, even as a child Gabriel was capable of flattening a whole house. This only grew as Gabriel has and increased through training and experience, Gabriel has grown in it's power and is greatly capable in it's ability.
Astral Walking - As a Shinigami, Gabriel is capable of leaving the physical world and entering other dimensions that which only non-physical beings such as spirits would be capable of going to as well as interacting with non-corporeal objects, things, entities, and locations. This also enables him to manipulate is soul where it would be able to leave his physical body as well if need be.
==== Quincy Powers ====
The Quincy bloodlines have routed itself all throughout humanity and have become so diluted through generations upon generations of breeding that a large percentage of humans on the planet possess a small dormant gene of the Quincy, through the use of his reiatsu Gabriel has been able to activate this gene and make use of Quincy abilities. It is suspected that this gene comes from his mother's side of the family as she was human.
* Reishi Manipulation - Every Quincy has the ability to manipulate Reishi on a certain level. Reishi is the spiritual energy possessed by the environment. This allows Gabriel to manipulate it how ever he wishes and create constructs from this energy. Due to the volatility of the base energy itself, it can be harnessed and used as projectile based attacks similar to energy beams. Once combined with Reiryoku however, the Reishi itself becomes stable and can be formed into weapons such as blades or bows.
** Weapon Creation - Combining his Reiryoku with Reishi allows Gabriel to stabilize the volatile energy, in doing this he is able to manipulate and shape it easier and into usable items. The forms the energy can take are nearly endless, from swords to bows.
** Energy Projection - While not using it to create weapons, Gabriel it fully capable of using the unstable energy for other purposes. These purposes being the usage of energy as a weapon. Gabriel would be able of harnessing the energy from the environment around him in order to create concentrated blasts of energy that can cause great damage depending on the amount of it used.
==== Reishi Powers ====
* Spiritual Telekinesis - To a shinigami, everything has a soul. Not only living things such as people, animals, or even fauna, but also inanimate objects as well. Even with the limited control Gabriel has over these souls, he is still able to move them with spiritual influence, giving him a sort of pseudo-telekinesis. With it he is able to physically manipulate objects and move them through the air like he was carrying them himself, whether they be small items or large. 
== Notable Abilities ==
==== Dhampir Physiology ====
Gabriel is the result of a vampire mating with a human, creating a Dhampir. Though instead of his abilities being weakened by his human blood, they were strengthened by the fact that his human blood had removed his weaknesses instead. He may walk and bask in the daylight while other prey in the dark. Silver is but another metal to him while deadly to the touch for others, and hallowed lands and symbols are but locations and objects to hi while it is places and things of death for others.
* Super Strength - Gabriel as a Dhampir, has strength that far surpasses a normal human. This allows him to perform feats that far exceed even the most conditioned and trained of normal mortals. Even among full bloods of his kind, Gabriel shows exceptional strength comparable and even beyond their own. Gabriel though shows this more in the way of his sword swings, being able to tear even through metals with minimal effort. He has also shown the ability to penetrate the cavity of his opponents by stabbing them with his own hand on some occasion as a means of assassination. This only increases with his usage of reishi, increasing his already immense strength by many fold.
* Super Speed & Stamina - Most definitely his greatest attribute, Gabriel possesses a speed that may very well be second to none. He has been described as "nothing but a fluttering whisper in the wind" to those who have "encountered" him during his assassinations, and even then that would be if he was careless. Beyond the recognition of any simple man, Gabriel is capable exceeding the sight that any eye of a mere man possesses, being able to reach speeds beyond what the eye of a mere man can detect. Faster than any normal ammunition, mechanical detection, and even some supernatural forces. His reactions are of an even greater capacity though, being capable of dodging most attacks from many enhanced humanoid creatures, even those of the supernatural variety. Mechanical forces such as firearms also are incapable of touching him to a certain degree, including those of high powered rifles. This also bleeds into his stamina, being able to run at full speed for hours on end. Even trained professionals in sports where extreme stamina is required would be nothing compared to Gabriel in this field. His stamina can be described as nearly "endless".
* Enhanced Durability & Healing Factor - Gabriel, like all vampires, has an enhanced durability beyond that a mere men. This would entail that his ability to handle damage to the body and physical pain are taken to a far greater degree than what would normally been seen by men. Bullets and long range ammunitions do little in the way of harming Gabriel. Pressures and forces known to kill men are not exerted enough to do the same to Gabriel. Interestingly, even things such as fire or holy metals affect him little in the way as it would to normal Vampires. Gabriel also possesses an extreme healing factor as due in part to his racial heritage. What his durability cannot take, his healing takes on many fold. His ability to heal is most definitely superb in it's capabilities, being able to heal any form of severe injury Gabe sustains, however, the severity of the injury along with the amount of injuries sustained tax it and in turn the more damage dealt to Gabe, the slower and slower his healing will be.
* Enhanced Endurance - Gabriel as a vampire, possesses a great endurance towards physical pain. Taking on the most horrid of torture with little more than a drowsy expression of boredom. Gabriel' tolerance for discomfort is quite extreme, having to deal with such a force for so many years can turn ones acknowledgement to it into not.
* Super Agility - Gabriel' style of assassination requires great stealth and even greater agility. An accompany of his speed, his agility allows him great mobility and ads to his stealth ability. Allowing him to maneuver through highly guarded areas as well as tight spaces that require fine movement. This also adds to his dodging ability as sometimes he does not even have to use his full speed to dodge something as his mobility allows him to maneuver out of the way.
* Enhanced Senses - Vampiric abilities also lend themselves towards Gabriel's usage of his senses as they as well have been enhanced beyond human levels. His hearing would allow him the ability to hear things from afar that normal hearing would not be able to pick up, it is on a level ever greater than most animals such as being able to hear muffled footsteps from hundreds of yards away. His sight, even in utter darkness, would allow him precise vision, being able to spot camouflage and see farther, far enough to spot small details on areas from miles away. His taste is also enhanced to a great degree, though this isn't as useful as other senses, he could very well distinguish flavors far greater than normal. His smell would also allow him a greater detail of tracking, being able to distinguish similar smells from each other near instantly as well as smell someone from a large distance away. His touch is also greatly enhanced, enabling him to feel the smallest vibrations from the floor or other surfaces he touches.
* Enhanced Mental Function - Gabriel' mind, like his body, is also enhanced beyond human levels due to his racial background. The speed of which his mind can process ideas, problems, and situations has been increases to higher levels, allowing him to outpace a highly educated or even gifted human by several times. His neural capability and proprioception is also superior, allowing his brain to transmit commands to his body far faster than a normal human, allowing his speed and movement to be near instant to how he thinks. His senses are also enhanced, allowing him to have a successful assassin career. These enhanced senses allow him to detect and react to things that would be near impossible for humans to do the same, they also allow him to scout and concentrate more during battle, allowing him a level of precision far greater than normal humans could achieve. This is even further enhanced by his usage of reishi, the energy enabling the electrical signals from his brain to his body be practically instant in it's travel speed making Gabe able to react to pretty much anything he is able to perceive. This also goes to his mental perception, his brain also process light to also a near instant degree as well making him capable of realizing some things greater than others when looking at them when using reishi.
** Genius Intellect - Gabriel for most of his life has concerned himself with the pursuit of knowledge for what he believes is that for a strong body to work, a strong mind is also needed. He has for years studied numerous topics be it history, maths, sciences, or human studies. His understanding of different topics are so great that he is able to break down mere words and discern a problem through sheer circumstance and situational certainties, for example he is able to read the separate patterns of a certain algorithm and discern what answers they would lead to based on what subjects they are in and how they act. His studies extend throughout any subject imaginable as well as language, culture, and human behavior, making him able to learn the different aspects of all of them so that he may better understand the different components of human life. His language based studies had him reciting whole passages of novels in languages foreign to him at first, day in and day out until he could read the whole with perfect pronunciation as well as understanding of the words themselves. Through this linguistic training he has attained a native level of understanding of many Germanic as well as Eurasian languages allowing him basically full capability to communicate with anyone from any major nation in the world effectively. He also tends to study much of culture and arts based on ethnic groups and geological location as well, tending to absorb different behaviors depending on the location and ethnic majority allowing him to blend more within certain locations. Gabriel has made it a habit of studying people most of all, seeing their patterns, what they generally like and dislike, watching reactions to certain activities and occurrences, etc... This helps Gabriel in the way of stalking his targets and eliminating them quickly and efficiently, learning what they do and taking advantage of it. Gabriel takes note also of Maths, holding accomplished knowledge in geometry, algebra, calculus, etc... as well as in multiple variants and specializations in these courses and subjects. His study also extends towards sciences, arts, and history as well as many other subjects and their variants to a similar or exceeding degree to what is previously explained about earlier studies.
* Vampiric Beauty - Gabriel as a vampire possesses an biologically enhanced beauty that exceeds the normal standards of a human, with it he is able to seduce a target for assassination or charm others. The extent of it ranges depending on the person's will power to resist it though it will still remain as a certain beauty one would find above most others.
* Biological Control - Gabriel retains the ability to control his body in the form of manipulating and editing his own biological make up and structure. Though he rarely finds use of it as far as he can control is currently.
** Gender Manipulation - Gabriel while not able to control his body and manipulate it into multiple forms, he has the ability to transform his body into that of a female version of himself. Controlling the chromosomes, bodily structure, and cellular existent of his own body. This allows him to take the form of a man or woman.
