Character name: Gabriel Character race: Elven in appearance (Nobody's actually asked, and he's never said. His ears are slightly pointy, and he's lived longer than a human, so it's just assumed =p) Gender: Male Age:2729 Eye color: Clearish-grey Hair color: Silver-grey Height: 4'11" Build: Slender, bordering on scrawny Appearance notes: Appears to be a very elderly elf, wearing lose monk robes, and walking with the aid of a mythril-plated walking staff. Fair skinned despite his age and wrinkles, and with piercing clear eyes, he has a very elegant appearance despite his diminutive height and slight hobble. Personality: Wise, old, and very difficult to surprise or to hide things from. With age comes wisdom, and Gabe hasn't let the long years make him bitter. Very studious, he's prone to spending days at a time cloistered in his study meditating or reading. He's an important leader in the monastary in Silvador, and a very compassionate, thoughtful individual, though he can be quite blunt at times. He bears a deep understanding and respect for all life, human, elf, ryuu, and even the astral races alike. He's extremely intelligent, though he does on occasion play the part of the doddering old fool. History: Virtually nothing is known about what he did before he blundered upon the monastary one stormy night, and he doesn't speak often of it. He wasn't much older than Hizeme is now when he first arrived, and has stayed on and joined the monks, rising to his current level of respect after some two millenia of dedicated study.
