Physical Description

Body Features

Facial Features

Gab's snout is long and dog-like, in the fashion of his kind. His lower canines are 4 inches in length and he has a smooth black nose.

Identifying Characteristics

The black markings on Gab's chest, back, and head are similar to the marks on Gilseeks of his former tribe, but their exact dimensions are unique to him.

Apparel & Accessories

Gab has just received a pair of Jacobian (Ethnicity) styled linen trousers and a similarly styled tunic with a hood that is long enough to cover his whole snout. These clothes were made to fit him and wears them with pride and comfort. He was also given a pair of boots, more or less fitted to his feet, but he finds these more awkward, as he's never worn shoes before.

Specialized Equipment

Gab has recently spent over a 10 day practicing with a Great Sword and though has yet to master it's full devastating effects, he has become attached to it and would protect the sword with his life.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

When Gab was 7, Banur-Boldric was driven into the swamplands that his tribe had existed in for generations. Due to some raids against them, Banur-Boldric turned their attention to the eradication of the Gilseeks of the Shilbep tribe. During an attack on his tribe, Gab was captured and forced to act as a shock-trooper for their raids on Jacobian (Ethnicity) villages and encampments. He was fed poorly, beaten often, and was never permitted any kind of mercy. During the attempted occupation of the Town of Alosdel, Gab was being used agaist Jacobian (Ethnicity) soldiers of the 11th Legion. Though the operation seemed to be going well, the arrival of Jacobian (Ethnicity) reinforcements forced a retreat. Gab's handlers ran into Jordan Meservy and Rayala Kordae as they were searching for the leader of Banur-Boldric, Boldric Sobda. With the assistance of Jordan Meservy, Gab escaped his handlers and now travels as Jordan Meservy's companion and friend. Gab feels as though he owes his life to Jordan and the lessons and gifts he has received from him have only increased his loyalty.

Mental Trauma

Gab has been enslaved by Banur-Boldric for the past 4 years. They starved him to the point that he would devour the enemies he would defeat in the raids they used him for. He thinks these actions as shameful atrocities and they are a constant memory in his head. Sometimes the memories haunt him in the form of nightmares.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Gab wishes to serve Jordan Meservy in whatever capacity he see's fit to direct him in. He wishes to one day return to the bog of his birthplace and reunite whatever members of his tribe he can find and free once more.

Social

Family Ties

Gab was once part of the Shilbep tribe, which inhabited the swampy regions of of the Chee States. When Banur-Boldric moved into the bog, they dealt with the Gilseeks the way they saw as reasonable. The Shilbep tribe was slaughtered save a few, who were caught and forced into servitude, preforming manual labour and participating in raids on Jacobian (Ethnicity) encampments. Gab was one of these Gilseeks.

Religious Views

Gab believes that spirits inhabit every living thing and that by consuming the parts of an organism's body, you steal its life essence. He believes that sentient creatures will go to the eternal feasting halls of the afterlife when they die, but if a single piece of that creature is consumed by another, they will never arrive there, because they are not complete.

Speech

Gab has difficulty pronouncing j's (z), m's (n), s's (sh), v's (f), and w's (u) due to his tusk-like lower canines and underbite. This was not a problem for him before, because Gil doesn't have any of these sounds, but he struggles to use common words with sounds like this (how he actually pronounces each letter is put in brackets behind it)
