Gabe Greenwell

Gabe Greenwell is a supporting character in Locals Only!.

## Personality

Gabe lives to impress, and has a tendency for over-the-top behavior. His need to make people laugh, egged on by friends like Mike and Rob, drives him to perform extreme stunts that often land him in detention. His drive for approval, particularly from his proud father, appears to be a significant motivator in his actions. No amount of dissuasion from Toby can stop him from using his intense strength and endurance to do things most adults couldn’t do. As long as he makes his buddies laugh, he’s happy with himself. Not all of this behavior is intentional however, as Gabe is known to make rash or even immoral decisions just because he doesn't know any better. His heart is in the right place though, and despite his immaturity, his loyalty makes him an important figure in his social circle. Gabe's physical prowess, endurance, and ability to withstand physical punishment set him apart from others, making him someone even The Royals hesitate to cross. He is also an expectedly messy person, possessing no manners, as well as not taking care of his living spaces. His messy and somewhat careless nature contributes to his lack of popularity among most people, except for those who have known him for a long time. It’s good for him that he has such good friends though, since he rarely thinks for himself, and depends on their direction and guidance.

## Biography

Gabe is the oldest son of five sisters, and is his father's pride and joy. Because of this, his dad, Frank Sr. (or just Frank), lets him get away with everything. Thankfully, most of Gabe's stunts are fairly innocent. While Gabe's family is not exactly poor, they don't have a lot of money. They live in a medium-sized house with only three bedrooms. Because Gabe shares a bedroom with three of his sisters, he isn't home very often. This is probably for the better, because he isn't exactly the best influence on his younger sisters.

Gabe met Mike in kindergarten, and was introduced to Toby through him in the first grade when they all three had the same class for the first time.

### Future

After high school, Gabe signed up for service in the Navy like his father, and would fight in Vietnam briefly. After returning home, Gabe got married, had several children, and became a construction worker. By 1975, he was still friends with Mike and Toby, who lived on the same street as him.

## Appearance

Gabe is 5'9" and heavy-set. He has greasy dirty-blonde hair which sloppily comes down his face, only parted in the middle. He has a pink complexion, and is covered in uneven, bristly golden hairs. He is also the only one of his friends who has any facial hair, albeit scraggly. In school, he wears his tie loosely, his collar unbuttoned, and his shirt untucked. His most common outfit outside of school consists of an untucked green flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a white tee shirt underneath, light blue jeans, a big belt buckle featuring a cow skull, and work boots. He doesn't put much thought into his outfits, just throwing on clothes that'll get him through the day.

## Skills and Abilities

Gabe is a member of the school's baseball and football team, playing the positions of umpire and offensive lineman. He has considerable endurance, and a surprising amount of energy.

## Weaknesses

Gabe is gullible and trusting, sometimes not picking up on when someone is being rude to him. This may be because he himself is seemingly rude as well, so he takes it as normal behavior. He also has a weakness for food and alcohol, possibly his most troubling trait. He has been known to sneak drinks of the sauce from his dad's collection, and has been coerced into stealing them for his friends before (usually by Rob).

## Jobs

While Gabe has never had a job before, and the thought of getting one has never crossed his mind, he has such a great relationship with his father that he often brags about his occupation at the automotive garage.
