Personality:–
Gabriel is calm and collected guy, who rarely speaks and for most of his life prefered quiet solitude over company of other humans. Thanks to this he is basically helpless, when it comes to any kind of social interaction and his actions can inadvertently range form cute to cruelty. As his personal rule, he isn´t really fond of other humans or any other races, for that matter, but that doesn´t mean that he is completly heartless. Actually he has a soft spot for lost and abadoned animals, especialy dogs and cats. As a wandering schollar he is also very intelligent and well educated, able to quickly grasp new informations and apply his knowleadges to current situation. Surprisingly for someone who isn´t used to live in society, Gabriel has a great control over his emotions. Its almost impossible to know what he is feeling or thinking at any given moments. This is most obvious on the way he is venting his anger. His anger isn´t sending him on rampage. Instead it turns his emotions cold and make him focus on destroying whatever triggered his anger.

Gabriel is tall, athletic looking man with short black hairs and stubble beard, which together with his hard face makes him look much older, than he really is. He usually wears worn out black suit with white shirt and black tie, over which he has shabby coat with lots of pockets containing many unusal historical artefacts and other junk. His gear is usually completed with sturdy fingerless gloves and old backpack. On less civilized islands he also has a long spear as weapon of choice, which he sometimes switch for long staff, if he doesn´t want to bring any unnecesary attention of the world government agents and Marine to himself.

Fighting Style
Name: Spear of Full Moon
Focus: "Spear"; "Long range attacks"; "Counterattack"
Class: C
Description: Spear of Full Moon is Gabriels´ personal combat adaptation of traditional martial art that he learned when he was young. It´s composed of both, armed and unarmed techniques which are using circular, flow like movements to redirect opponent´s strength and open him up for precise counterattack. To get maximum from this strategy, Gabriel adopted special open stance, with spear with a dominant hand in the middle of the shaft, slightly behind his body and with the other, non dominant hand in front of his body in guard position. This stance allows him to spin his spear around his body like a staff, which, together with his special circular footwork, allows him to quickly cover all 360° around his body. To save as much energy as he can during a fight, with bigger group of opponents, he doesn´t always go for a kill. Instead he is using precise strikes on their weak points, like a ligaments and arteries to incapacitate them as quickly as possible with the least amount of energy necessary for the task.
After he joined Eric´s cause, Gabriel went through several dangerous fights with opponents much stronger than himself. This, together with several months of intense training with Eric leaded to that he finally unlocked true essence of his martial art. Spear fighting without spear. Ability to use his bare hands to create spear resembling Air blasts, that can pierce his opponents from distance. To accommodate for this new ability, he changed his fighting style little bit. Now he is using his actual spear mainly as a defensive weapon, while his flying attacks became his main form of offense.
- Flying Attacks: True essence of his martial art. This skill allows Gabriel to project his attacks via air pressure. Interestingly, despite being spear user, he is using precisely controlled movements of his bare hands to create his flying attacks.
- Flow Control: After pushing his ability to create flying slashes to it´s limits, Gabriel discovered, that he now can shape his attacks into more complex patterns and shapes, which gives him more versatile arsenal of attacks.
Techniques
Name:– Phantom Spear
Fighting Style:– Spear of Full Moon
Rank:– 2
Description:– By emulating throw like motion with his free arm, Gabriel can create strong air current to attack his opponents from distance. The name of this technique is coming from the shape of the projected attack, which vaguely resembles thrown spear. Phantom Spear is piercing attack in nature. It can travel faster than regular bullet while carrying enough force to pierce human flesh and bones.
- Name: Phantom Tree
Original: Phantom Spear
Rank: 3 (+Flying Attacks; + Flow Control)
Description: Improved version of the previous technique. By emulating throw like motion with his free arm, Gabriel can create strong air current to attack his opponents from distance. Thanks to the altered position of his fingers during the “throw” the main current starts to “branch out” quickly into many smaller currents, creating dense network that can vaguely resemble tree, with the initial current as it´s trunk and the many branches as it´s treetop. This unusual shape allows Gabriel to cover much greater area with single attack, making it very hard to his target so simply dodge his strike. On the other hand the individual branches are significantly smaller thus also creates smaller damage on their own, despite retaining their ability to pierce human flesh and bones.
Fighting Style: Spear of Full Moon
Rank: 2
Description: Gabriel´s makeshift version of the Geppo technique, which he created after many experiments, to improve his mobility on the battlefield. With this technique, he kick the air under his feet so fast, that it actually compress itself enough to create temporal foothold from which he can jump again thus giving him the ability to to jump off the air itself.

Name: Spear
Fighting Style: Spear of Full Moon
