## Personality

Eric is an incredibly anxious man. Especially once Carly fell into his care, he would overprepare for the smallest things and worry over each detail, appearing afraid of everything. Despite his nervousness, Eric was optimistic and hopeful for the future, even after he had flunked university due to having to raise a child.

## History

Eric Gale grew up with his family in Ohio. He developed an interest in insects at a young age alongside a desire to study engineering. Since he was young, Eric has had a poor memory, but around his teen years, the issue became worse. On his 15th birthday, Eric was gifted a video camera by his mother to record video diaries to help with his memory. Though he planned on recording an entry every year, he immediately forgot to do so and instead began recording every five years instead.

Eric enrolled in his dream college at 20 years old as an engineering student and has soon after would be beginning his first internship. He was extremely dedicated to his studies to the degree that he failed to form any new friendships with others at his school. Two years into his college experience, he discovered a baby girl left on his doorstep. With nowhere else to take her, Eric took the baby in, naming her Carly. The stress of taking care of a child led to Eric's grades slipping and the loss of an internship, as well as his early graying hair. By 25 years old, he had a job at the local library and enjoys it despite not yet having his dream engineering job.

By 30 years old, Eric had a new job, this time as an engineering teacher at a high school. He greatly enjoyed it, remarking on the students' passion. Through the job, he found new friends in his students Lewis Bright, Sara Covetman, and Oliver Acrimony, whom he saw as the most ambitious and passionate about the work. Once the trio began working on the Dreamworld Entertainment facility, Lewis hired Eric to help out with the construction and maintenance of the animatronic. Eric would bring Carly along with him to the facility while he worked.

On Eric's 35th birthday, following Lewis's disappearance, Eric ran a maintenance check on the Winnie animatronic using a checklist that Lewis provided. The animatronic disappeared mid-checkup, leading to Eric panicking aloud that he was only following the notes Lewis left. Star Light appeared, apologizing sadly to Eric and saying that he left everything at home. Eric realized that Sara killed Lewis and put his soul into the Star Light animatronic, and after leaving an accusatory note for Sara, he left for Lewis's house to find the materials Star Light alluded to.

While Eric searched Lewis's house, a fire from Happy Hollow spread to the building. Eric, trapped within the building, recorded a final birthday video diary entry. In the video, he warned that Lewis was in danger and not to go into the Dreamworld facility before the burning building collapsed on top of him. After Eric burned to death, Winnie massacred his corpse and retrieved his soul before leaving the house with both the soul and body.
