Tick tock, theres your lock.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Though not terribly skinny, Gabriel borders between average physicallity and slight malnourishment though his somewhat chubby cheeks give him a much more rotund appearance. During his time as a thief, he became very quick on his feet and reactive, being able to evade more guards by quickly ducking behind houses and hiding.
Body Features
At first glance, Gabriel’s baggy and loose fitting clothes make him appear chubbier than he actually is.
Peeling back the cloak and clothes, Gabriel isn’t the most muscular mostly due to his undernourishment and lack of proper physical exercise. His skin reflects a darker white, leaning close to pale with the spots of dirt making him seem darker than he actually is. Now seasoned with his adventures with the Wayfinders and to the Gate, Gabriel is noticeably more nimble and his posture has straightened as his comes out of metaphorical shell.
Facial Features
Gabriel has an unruly head of white hair that keeps growing until it covers half of the back of his neck. He can tell he needs a haircut by how long the strands of his hair fall in front of his eyes. He usually cuts his own hair with Yorkie’s help using a pair of dulled scissors.
His ears peak through his mess of hair, as is common for gnomish ears due to their length, and are pointed, similar to elves.

Personal history
Gritzel Amodeus Bartlby Remiag Indraquel Elliof Lebnut, Gabriel for short, is a poor Crystallis born gnome living in the Lower City. He didn't know his parents nor did he ever care to find out as living was a constant struggle for him later in life. As a baby and through his childhood, Gabriel was taken care of by his Grandmother. His fondest memory is cuddling up with her underneath her favorite blanket as she told him stories about where each of his names came from. His grandmother was against him being so unclean after a hard day of scrounging and even more so after she discovered that he was feeding a family of rats that lived in their garbage; however, she couldn't help but smile at his caring personality and inquisitive nature that she believed made him destined for greater things like most grandmother's believe. She would not be able to see Gabriel grow from a boy to a man as one day, when they were traveling towards the local market to buy food, she was stabbed by a random person that shifted through the crowds. Gabriel was broken. He begged for someone, any one, to help him, but they all acted as if nothing had happened. It wasn't their problem after all. Gabriel went home that day, curled up in his grandmother's favorite blanket, and cried himself to sleep. He would never heal from this loss as he later became associated with a more sinister crowd. He was frequently arrested for being an accomplice to robbery. The influence of crime changed him slightly, hardening his heart to the woes of others and making him selfish along with being fearful of the world. Seeing first hand how cruel fate can be. He retreated further into his books and his sole rat companion, Yorkie. The pair were inseparable and after some consideration, and losing the deed to his grandmother's house, Gabriel lived on the streets for a time, stealing the next meal for himself and Yorkie, accumulating a modest collection of spells, and learning more and more each day that passed. Eventually, Gabriel would make his way to Duodecim where he would make his first actually humanoid friends since his grandmother's passing. A mystical fortune teller named Thyme and a wandering monk named Safina. He felt safe for the first time in months and actually enjoyed being around people even if it was only two. Thyme would eventually leave on business of her own, but Gabriel would follow Safina in order to make sure he survived the travels ahead of him. The world is less lonely when you can travel it with a friend.
After his travels with the Wayfinders, Gabriel finds himself in Nexus during a lockdown by the Xan'theril elves. After a series of misadventures and meeting the Relic Hunters, Gabriel found himself with his Alexa, Syn, and Paulo as they were sent to the moment where Elara and Celestian danced over a Starset Lake. The trio stand firm and witness what happened below Starset Lake, Ty's fate, and the birth of Atlas. Paulo lets Gabriel build his first object, a new arm.
After business is settled, the group return to Arhor'ha, immediately after the Wayfinders leave Starset lake, and head to the Aquarius Forge in order to do some research. There, Gabriel discovers the truth about the circumstances surrounding his birth, his given name being Lupin, and the death of his parents. He also learns about the Worshipers of Gigareth and Celestian.

Education
Gabriel was taught to read and speak by his grandmother, Maggie Scillion, and self taught himself how to tap into the intricacies of magic. Later on, after his grandmother’s death, he was taught how to use thieves’ tools by the many thugs he assisted in their petty crimes which subsequently lead to Gabriel being arrested. He never had any formal education.
He was somewhat trained by Gig the Creator when he attempted to purify a sample of corrupted dirt. Over time he has picked up many traits from people and places he has encountered. They include the passionate fire of revolution from the Aries Forge, the cool waves of understanding emotions from the Pisces Forge, the business knowledge of trade from Brindle, stealth from the Lazy Mice, the resolve to carry on from Cassandre, the organization skills of Handler Leon, proper note taking from Alexa, the ability to remain faithful from Elara, and many other aspects.
Employment
For a time, Gabriel worked with a thief organization called the Lazy Mice though other than that experience he has been self-taught to wield magic and home schooled by his Grandmother.

Mental Trauma
OCD
At an early age, Gabriel suffered from OCD in the form of his being unable to stand the sight of small objects laid out at random. He preferred that small objects like cups, plates, spoons, and dolls be stacked up into towers. In recent months, this obsession has become a sort of therapy for him and the act of stacking has become so engraved into his mind that he can stack objects without even looking or thinking. Sometimes his hands just stack objects on their own without Gabriel even noticing. This has compulsive disorder has now manifested in Gabriel frantically looking over the notes and goals he keeps in his little book rather than stacking object.PTSD and Stutter
After his grandmother’s death, Gabriel developed mild PTSD that is usually triggered when he is reminded of his failure at protecting his family, referencing family, or whenever he recalls a fond memory of his grandmother. Sometimes he may just cry for no apparent reason. In addition, he has developed a stutter for words that start with G, H, and M though he starts to stutter more frequently after crying or when tearing up. As of late his stutter has all but disappeared except in times of extreme stress though even then he may prove virtuous and display an unnatural calm. This is most likely due to his growing confidence in himself and his acceptance of the past.Intellectual Characteristics
Logical, Analytical, Organized, Inquisitive
Morality & Philosophy
Gabriel used to see the world as grey with deadly shadows in every corner ready to snatch him up. He now just sees everything as grey.
He was willing to help other people out of the goodness of his heart and was not overly charitable, but now he has started to talk to others in order to learn their stories due to the fire within him feeling a need to burn in others with the possibility of sparking revolution if the situation calls for it.
He used to ignore those who are less fortunate if he has nothing material to give them as he was hardened by the trauma of his grandmother’s death, making him cold towards others and slow to trust though he is relatively easy to persuade. Now, he tries to better understand people and give them some sort of levity in life as he has become more fortunate due to the monetary wealth that stems from his lifestyle occasionally.
He used to see everyone as stronger than himself and so he tried his best to be unnoticeable. He attempted to stay hidden and inconspicuous whenever he goes yet most times, in his mind, he still caused unrivaled trouble to everything. The siege of Nexus and the golem attack on New Haven are two of the few times he blames himself instead of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, he still tries to keep his anonymous persona as he hasn't truly grown into being a real figure head but also has let go of the reality that he is "a walking disaster." He no longer instinctively runs but will stay close enough to action, waiting for the moment to take a stand and make his position clear.
Recently, he has begun to develop a mob mentality. He will purposely try to act in a good manner in order to gain the approval of those who he considers his friends. As a consequence, Gabriel has started to develop his own since of self that may conflict with the interests of the group. This has grown, and may even be construed as Envy, as Gabriel has taken on aspects of most of the places and people he has encountered in his relatively short life.
Taboos
Killing things just because its fun or hurting other people just in order to further some selfish goal. Being cruel in general
Being entirely biased towards one side of anything.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Hopes to see the Phoenix, the Leviathan, the Elder Tempest, and Zaratan to ask them a simple question: What does it mean to be earth, wind, fire, etc. and how makes up their element? Wants to make friends. Has a low desire to figure out his Lepus Renaissance ability. Strong desire to free the world from oppression. Keep the world going without leaning to one side of the morality scale.

-New Goal: Keep the Cult of Gigareth in check
-New Goal: Rediscover the Followers of Celestian
-Free Nexus from the rule of the elves
-Bring balance to Crystallis
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Savvies
Extremely knowledgeable of Elementals and has a basic, theoretical understanding about the interconnections of all magic. Has a theory about "Primal Magic" as he calls it, the raw magical essence of the world that takes on the many forms of life such as Divine, Arcane, Nature, Infernal, Etc. He has had practice in using Disguise Kits and Thieves' Tools while with the Lazy Mice which is also where he developed his proficiency with Stealth and Sleight of Hand tricks.Ineptitudes
Gabriel is not very aware of his surroundings if he's not actively looking and is not very wise in general due to a lack of experience. He also has trouble conveying his thoughts due to him over thinking it and his lacking force of character. Slowly this is being remedied as he grows into the young man he wants to be.Social
Contacts & Relations
Cassandre - Mother Figure (More like a big sister)
Elara - Sister Figure
Safina - Brother Figure
Brindle - Cool Uncle Figure
Sagittarius - Celestial dude who was doing what he thought was right. No hard feelings even though he did try to kill Elara
Atlas - Cool baby dragon that could end the world. Make sure that doesn't happen
Gig - A Father figure of sorts that Gabriel latched onto in his need for a real connection, but as he started to grow as a person he realized that he assumed Gig cared more for him than he does for Gig. Thus he has made it a point to stop calling him Dad, but he still has faith that ultimately Gig does what is best for the world. In a way, Gabriel admires Gig keeping the world from falling apart and feels he is chained by his nature. Does not entirely blame him for the bad things he does
Syn - A broken sister figure that he feels he could really help if only he could make her understand. He wants to help her not for some reason, alternative goal, or as a weapon. To simply help ease the pain of her life, something that he didn't have immediately until he met the Wayfinders. As someone who has dealt with Gig and the horror of losing someone close, he feels he can be that gust of wind that pushes her on whenever she feels lost.
Alexa - Skeptical acquaintance. He has an odd feeling whenever she tries to act motherly towards him as he has seen her be her "casual" self and finds it kind of sad that she changes herself based on the people she's talking to rather than being upfront. A useful skill in her line of work, but also something he too did in order to fit in with other people. He doesn't just see it as a side effect of her occupation but also a mask she wears throughout her life. He wants to help her realize she can find the answers she seeks even when staying true to herself, but doesn't due to a gap in experience between the two and the fact it most likely would not go over well due to her skepticism of him. With more experience with her, Gabriel has decided to help her for now though he doesn't give her everything he knows. Only what's important for the moment.

History
Gabriel thinks that his Grandmother, Maggie, took care of him due to his family leaving him in her care. He didn't really care to go look for them because he didn't really know them in the first place and due to the fact that his grandmother was all of the parental comfort he wanted. For the majority of his life, Maggie took care of Gabriel and tried her best to keep him from getting into trouble. Gabriel's aptitude with magic was something she was amazed of but was unable to help cultivate due to them living in poverty. Gabriel didn't mind though. It gave him more time to raise his family of rats. Eventually, Maggie was stabbed while walking with Gabriel to buy some food which traumatized the the young gnome potentially for the rest of his life. Since then Gabriel has been trying to live the best he can.
