Personality
Alignment – Chaotic Good
Despite spending majority of his life outside of the social life of other people, Gabriel isn´t cold and heartless person. On the contrary, he is very empathetic, compassionate and carrying individual that is willing to risk his health and life for helpless and defenseless people in need. However he likes to live and act according to his own sense of justice and conscience which can frequently push him to break formal laws and customs in the spite of his good intentions. And although he was originály against violence and used it only as a last resort, his frequent interaction with Myra and other members of the underworld changed it, making him swift and unforgiving in it's execution whenever he feels, that there is no other way.
Nature – Loner
During the course of his voyage Gabriel changed. Almost as if the constant danger and many loses awakened what was in him from his father he grew into dangerous presence, that stands apart even among other martial arts masters. Partially it´s because of his taciturn nature and the brooding silence that accompanies him all the time. Yet there is also something more. Something buried deep under his noble exterior. Something he shares with his half brother Michael. Like him, even Gabriel moves like an apex predator, always watching, always planning, always hunting. And when the time to strike comes he turns into terrifying monster. Not because of some unique tricks or inhuman powers, no. What makes him dangerous and frightening at the same time is his absolute focus and chilling detachment. Unstoppable on attack and immovable on defense, once brought to battle he knows only victory or death.
Demeanor – Caregiver
To balance out his dangerous nature and capacity for violence, Gabriel decided to put on mask of kindness around people and animals he cares about. In the presence of these rare people, his usual stern expression disappears, being replaced by a gentle smile, almost as if the beast inside him fall asleep. Making a way for much more affectionate and gentle individual, who deeply cares about the people around him. This makes him somehow vulnerable around them, if only for moment. As the monster sleeping inside him is quick to awake to protect the one dear to him, or to punish their betrayal.
Hobbies and Peculiarities
Gabriel is an avid reader who prefers books of history, philosophy, and martial arts manuals over fiction, although he sometimes ventures also in that direction. Surprisingly his love for books eventually led him to his greatest hobby which is Martial Arts. Originally interested in them only as a way of exploring the ancient philosophical thoughts that accompanied them Gabriel completely fell for them after several years of study. Now he owns numerous ancient manuals and books that describe many already extinct schools and forgotten techniques, that he spends a fortune on. He also has a soft spot for abandoned animals especially dogs and puppies which he saves from the streets, giving them a new home on the land of his mansion. Because of this habit of his, he builds a pack of twenty dogs that sometimes scares the neighbors.
Appearance
Physical Description
Gabriel is tall man in his early thirties, who keeps himself in fairly good condition with regular practice of a different martial arts and some basic exercise routines, done mainly to keep himself healthy rather than anything else. He was blessed with fairly handsome face, but tends to somehow neglect his appearance, which is evident on is stubble beard and long, black hair that already have few silver pieces among themselves. As he is usually lost in his own thoughts his face and gray eyes tends to look very stern, even through this expression usually doesn´t reflect his actual mood or thoughts.
Outfit and Accessories
Befitting his role as a university professor and minor noble, Gabriel usually wears quality two, sometimes three piece suit with dark shirt and tie accompanied by always perfectly clean formal shoes. He isn´t very fond of any forms of jewelry with the sole exception of golden cufflinks and quality wrist watches.

Traits
Exceptional eyesight
E-class
Gabriel was born with exceptional eyesight, that is far better than the eyesight of average person. Thanks to that he can both, see things that are far away with excellent clarity, and notice very small details, that would likely be missed by regular person.
Inhuman Precision
E-class
Gabriel was born with exceptional eyesight and trough long years of training developed steady hands together with great coordination between the two of them. Thanks to this, he achieved almost superhuman level of precision and accuracy, being able to hit targets that are very far away just as attacking the enemies from unexpected angles and positions.
Inhuman Recovery
E-class
As someone who mastered the five skills of traditional medicine and practice them daily for more than decade, Gabriel managed to improve the ability of his body to heal itself, increasing his recovery rate beyond the limits of normal humans. From short term perspective, this allows him to heal much faster from both minor and major injuries, while from the long term perspective it offers him a prolonged longevity. That doesn´t mean he is immortal by any stretch of imagination, but he has the potential to live much longer than is the average for his race and to reach that age with full physical health and capacity, thanks to the enhanced ability of his body to heal itself
Inhuman Swiftness
D-class
Thanks to experiencing life or death situations for the first time in a very long time and regular sparring with Myra, Gabriel managed to improve the speed of his movements beyond limits of regular human body. This doesn´t allows him to move with blinding speed, however it still allows him to move way faster than any normal human, whatever it is running or combat.
Inhuman Reflexes
C-class
Going through many dangerous and potentially deadly situations I the course of just few months made Gabriel´s reflexes incredibly sharp and accurate. Thanks to that he can react to sudden changes in his environment faster and more accurately than would be possible for any normal human even under very chaotic conditions.
Inhuman Stamina
B-class
Mastering even deeper secrets of the ancient medicine techniques, Gabriel developed an incredible level of stamina that allows him to work or fight for hours if not days before getting tired or exhausted.
Fighting Styles
Name:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Focus:- “Locks and Throws”; “Counterattacks”;
Class:- C
Description:- Self made marital art focused on stable, low stances and flow like movements, centered around circular arm movements that are used to intercept and redirect the incoming attack. The style itself currently lack any real offensive capabilities and is concentrated only around deflection of the opponent´s attack and counterattacking via grappling, throwing and locking techniques, that are using the enemy´s strength against them.
- Redirection Kata (D-class):– Through application and evolution of the Dragon´s basic principles and skills, Gabriel learned how use the circular movements of his arm and whole body to absorb and redirect energy of the incoming attack back to the attacker.
- Water Kata (C-class):- Thanks to rigorous training and deep meditations Gabriel learned how to control his body and muscles to even greater degree. Mastering the ability of turning his whole body limp and flexible through complete muscular relaxation.
Name:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Focus:- “Mixed boxing”; “Power Attacks”;
Class:- C
Description:- Self made martial art, focused on straightforward, fast footwork, which main goal is ot get the user as close to their opponent, as possible, to maximize the effectiveness of knee, elbows and shoulder strikes that are the true specialty of this style. Once the user is inside their opponent´s zone, they start to use short stomping footwork to limit their movements combined with staggering strikes to the vital parts of their body, mainly solar plexus, neck, chin, temple and groins. As a close quarter boxing style, the Imperial Tiger doesn´t contain any kicks (with the exception of few low kicks and it´s characteristic stomping footwork) and no grappling or wrestling techniques.
- Steel Kata (D-class):- Through rigorous physical training and application of an isometric and dynamic tension exercises, Gabriel learned how to harden his muscles on or even beyond he level of steel without losing his mobility, thus greatly increasing of both his offensive and defensive capabilities.
- Piercing Kata (C-class):- Through accumulated martial wisdom Gabriel learned how to focus all of his strength into one relatively small point which allows him to pierce or tear through human flesh and bones with his bare hands.
Name:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Focus:- “Unarmed”; “High speed movement”;
Class:- C
Description:- Self made martial art, focused on circular footwork, together with constant flow like movement of ones arms. The practitioners are employing whole body movements with coiling and uncoiling action that allows them quickly maneuver around the opponent and flow in or out of object´s way. However once the time to take an action comes, Gabriel swiftly switches into more direct footwork, unleashing very aggressive, rapid fire of attack in the form of hand techniques, grapples and throws to completely obliterate any opponent, before pulling back again into the circular footwork. This swift switching between circular, evasive and fast, direct techniques makes the Imperial Phoenix into ideal style for fights with bigger number of opponents.
- Lightning Kata (D-class):- Through incredible self control and rigorous training Gabriel gained ability to harness bio electricity in his body to stimulate his muscles to contract and relax with incredibly fast rate. That allows him to achieve blinding speed for short period of time.
- Thunder Kata (C-class):- Through applied visualization training, Gabriel learned how to attack the air in front of his limb, compressing it enough that it becomes “solid” even if only for moment, before the compressed air quickly expands again in the form of small air blast.
Overdrives
Name:- Divine Demon
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 4
Description:- Divine Demon is advanced power boosting technique, during which the user overclocks their heart to rapidly boost their metabolic rate, gaining access to incredible speed and raw destructive power in the process. While using this technique the user´s heartbeat will become so loud it can be heard even from a distance and their body will become veiny, with their blood vessels becoming clearly visible all over their body. Although the power gained via this technique is impressive it´s also very taxing on the body, as prolonged use can quickly eat through the user´s reseves of stamina, leaving them completely drained, and even damage their hearts, marking this technique as a weapon of last resort rather than regular ability.
- First Gear (Trait):- As the heart and metabolic rate suddenly increase, the brain of the user is flooded with energy and hormones which speeds up its ability to process all visual information. Because of that Gabriel perceives the world as if in slow motion, getting a clear look at even objects that move with incredible speed. This doesn't improve his reaction time or physical speed but gives him subjectively more time to pick a target and aim, resulting in a great increase in his already formidable accuracy.
- Second Gear (Aspect):- Boosting his heart and metabolic rate even further, Gabriel can increase the energy supply and excitability of his muscles, which greatly boosts his physical speed to the point where he is virtually invisible to untrained eyes during movement.
- Third Gear (Aspect):- Pushing his heart towards its maximal output Gabriel can get his whole body into overdrive, gain in a sudden burst of raw physical strength, that allows him to punch through very hard materials like a stone or steel with his bare hands.
- Exhaustion (Drawback):- As he lacks a proper control over this ability, Gabriel´s body still have a hard time dealing with the sudden spike of metabolic rate he experiences during the Divine Demon. To compensate for this great exertion, his body slows down his metabolism greatly after the effect of this overdrive stops, robbing him of Inhuman Speed and ability to move with Blinding speed, until he gets enough rest. That can range from several minutes to several hours depending on how long he was using the Divine Demon.
Techniques
{Divine Dragon Techniques}Collection of Martial Arts techniques, that are inspired by the qualities and powers of dragons:
Tier 1
Name:- Mirrored Moon
Original:- Empty Moon
Rank:- 2
Aspects:-
Description:- Instead of using ones own movement to intercept the incoming attack, Gabriel learned how to make his own body completely limp and flexible by relaxing all of his muscles. In this state, he put virtually no resistance to an incoming attack and so he can let it´s energy to push his body out of the way without taking any real damage himself, with the possibility of taking his opponent out of their balance by the momentum of their own attack. Like a leaf dancing in the wind.
Tier 2
Name:- Binding Moon
Original:- Mirrored Moon
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Water Kata
Description:- After mastering the art of muscular relaxation even further, Gabriel stopped being limited to a simple dodge. Instead he learned how to go with his opponent´s flow, wrapping himself around their limb, before capturing it in a joint lock, taking the opponent down on the ground in the process.
Name:- Formless Moon
Original:- Mirrored Moon
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Water Kata
Description:- Using his mastery over the Water Kata, Gabriel will relax his body, turning it all limp and flexible in the face of an incoming attack. However, instead of using its energy to simply dodge, he will direct his body into a spin around its axis, delivering the energy right back at the opponent in the form of a powerful counter attack.
Name:- Stalking Moon
Original:- Mirrored Moon
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Water Kata
Description:- Using his mastery over the Water Kata, Gabriel will relax his body, turning it all limp and flexible in the face of an incoming attack. However, instead of simply dodging, he will use its energy to rotate his body alongside the attacking limb. Simultaneously dodging the attacks and moving behind the opponent in preparation for follow up attack.
Tier 3
Name:- Dragon Fist
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 1
Description:- This technique can be seen as both actual punch and a drill that teach it´s user how to generate maximal power during their strikes. Starting from close quarters with the rear arm near his waist, Gabriel will strike forwards against his enemy´s abdomen, continuously rotating his fist, shoulder, torso, hip and even the supporting leg, maximizing the torque and putting all of his weight and power behind the fist. This strike is powerful enough to send regular opponent flying.
Name:- Empty Palm
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description:- Deceptively simple technique, that involves powerful straight palm strike against the body or head of the opponent. Unlike the regular strike however, Gabriel won´t pull back his arm immediately after hitting his target, but will prolong that contact for a moment, putting all of his weight behind the strike, thus changing it into thrust-pushing technique, similar to the tsuki-oshi technique from traditional sumo. This makes this attack somehow slower than regular punch, however it will allow the user to push their opponent back and rob them of their balance.
Name:- Stomp
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 1
Description:- Simple, yet very effective technique usable during infighting, when Gabriel will raise his leg and stomp on the front foot of his opponent with his full strength. This, aside from being very painful will block the foot from moving, limiting the opponent´s mobility and maneuverability during the fight until they can free their foot from under the foot of the user, or are released by him.
Name:- Dragon Strike
Original:- Dragon Fist
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Tiger Kata
Description:- Starting in a deep stance, with one arm slightly forward and the other back, near the waist, the user briefly relaxes their body, only to create wave of power, that starts in their stance feet and pass-through knee, hip, torso, shoulder, elbow and finally fist in a perfectly linked and coordinated whip-like movement. Because each joint is adding extra torque and acceleration to the attack maximizing it´s virtual weight, the resulting strike is almost as heavy as if it was thrown by a giant.
Name:- Gentle Strike
Original:- Empty Palm
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Tiger Kata
Description:- Advanced version of the previous technique, that plays on its deceptive nature. Gabriel either reaches for the target or strikes against it from a very relaxed posture, with his palm open. Once he gets within one inch from it, however, he will accelerate his whole body in a well-coordinated, vicious push. The path of this move is very short. Too short actually to cause any serious damage, however, thanks to the "virtual weight" added by the Tiger Kata it carries weight almost comparable to that of a giant. Thanks to that, it´s capable of sending sending his targets flying. And since the real attack occurs only in the last inch or so, Gabriel can throw it from almost any distance, be it his regular punching range, or super close one.
Tier 4
Name:- Edge
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Rank:- 1
Description: Using the incredible speed and strength of his lower legs Gabriel can either propel backwards or pull himself forwards using nothing more than the toes of his feet. This technique doesn´t allow him to move with blinding speed nor a very far away (three to five steps at best), but since it does´t involve any large movement in the opponent´s field of vision and can be kept out of sync with the movement of the rest of the body it can confuse the opponent greatly and make it harder for them to predict Gabriel´s movement. To work correctly he have to be either barefoot or wear very flexible shoes.
Tier 1

To work correctly he have to be either barefoot or wear very flexible shoes.
- Name:- Blink
Original:- Edge
Rank:- 2
Aspects:-
Description:- Using his feet as a wholem instead of just toes, together with his natural speed and power, Gabriel can greatly increase the speed of his movement, to the point where he is able to hit the ground ten or more times in the blink of an eye. By timing the movement with the moment his opponent blinks and taking advantage of their blind spots he can create the illusion of vanishing in the thin air, enabling him to close distance or change position easily. Unlike the Phantom step this technique doesn´t allow him to carry the momentum of his movement into his attack but on the other hand doesn´t restrict him to linear movement thus greatly increasing his mobility.
{Silver Spear Techniques}Collection of Martial Arts techniques, that are derived from various spear using martial arts, that were adapted for unarmed combat
Tier 1
Name:-Thrust
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank: 1
Description:- Fast and powerful thrust performed with the so-called “spear hand” or Nukite, where all the fingers on one´s hand are extended and strongly pressed together. Because the full strength of the user is focused on their fingertips, this attack is somehow faster and more destructive than a regular punch as its energy can penetrate deeper into the body of its victim, although it can not truly pierce through it. However, since the extended fingers are more fragile than the fist it´s better to target soft and naturally vulnerable parts of the enemy´s body to prevent damaging one´s own fingers. This technique is a scaled-down version of Gabriel´s Nukite where he gave up the protective and destructive strength of Indestructible for greater versatility of his attacks.
Tier 2
Name:- Spear
Original:- Thrust
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Piercing Kata;
Description:- Improved version of the previous technique. By learning how to concentrate all of his strength into his fingertips, Gabriel will learn how to actually pierce through human skin, flesh and even bones with it. Gaining incredibly powerful and versatile weapon into his arsenal. Although this technique is very similar to Shigan from Rokushiki in it´s basic concept the two of them are actually very different. Where Shigan is very fast and subtle Spear is way slower and more straightforward relying more on raw physical strength to do the job. Because of that comparing this two techniques is like comparing gun with actual spear.
Tier 3
Name:- Divine Spear
Original:- Spear
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon
Description:- While under the effect of the Divine Demon, Gabriel will attack his opponent with a single thrust, creating a technique that can not only travel with a blinding speed but also have enough power to pierce through steel and the human body alike. It's exactly this combination of raw speed, power, and almost superhuman accuracy that marks Divine Spear as one of the Professor's most lethal weapons.
Name:- Divine Assault
Original:- Divine Spear
Rank:- 4
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon, Lightning Kata
Description:- Sacrificing defense for an overwhelming offense, Gabriel will use both of his hands to unleash a barrage of blindingly fast thrusts that each carries enough power to pierce through steel. Using his enhanced accuracy and natural precision to their limits, he throws each attack from a different angle or position, making it even harder to dodge or defend against this technique.
Name:- Divine Execution
Original:- Divine Spear
Rank:- 4
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon, Lightning Kata
Description:- Standing further away from his target, Gabriel will sprint towards them with blinding speed, stabbing them through the chest with his Divine Spear. The whole technique is a single seamless movement executed without any pause between the sprint and attack. Meaning that from the perspective of an onlooker, Gabriel disappears and reappears only after finishing the attack. That makes Divine Execution into an excellent choice for assassination or surprising attack from distance.
Tier 4
Name:-Empty Moon
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description: The most basic technique of the Dragon. Through precise, flow like movement of his arm Gabriel will intercept his opponent attack and redirect it´s flow of power away from his body. In this manner he can make his opponent´s attack miss as well as make the opponent lose their balance, allowing an opening for a counterattack.
Tier 1
Name:-Thrust
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank: 1
Description:- Fast and powerful thrust performed with the so-called “spear hand” or Nukite, where all the fingers on one´s hand are extended and strongly pressed together. Because the full strength of the user is focused on their fingertips, this attack is somehow faster and more destructive than a regular punch as its energy can penetrate deeper into the body of its victim, although it can not truly pierce through it. However, since the extended fingers are more fragile than the fist it´s better to target soft and naturally vulnerable parts of the enemy´s body to prevent damaging one´s own fingers. This technique is a scaled-down version of Gabriel´s Nukite where he gave up the protective and destructive strength of Indestructible for greater versatility of his attacks.
Tier 2
Name:- Spear
Original:- Thrust
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Piercing Kata;
Description:- Improved version of the previous technique. By learning how to concentrate all of his strength into his fingertips, Gabriel will learn how to actually pierce through human skin, flesh and even bones with it. Gaining incredibly powerful and versatile weapon into his arsenal. Although this technique is very similar to Shigan from Rokushiki in it´s basic concept the two of them are actually very different. Where Shigan is very fast and subtle Spear is way slower and more straightforward relying more on raw physical strength to do the job. Because of that comparing this two techniques is like comparing gun with actual spear.
Tier 3
Name:- Divine Spear
Original:- Spear
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon
Description:- While under the effect of the Divine Demon, Gabriel will attack his opponent with a single thrust, creating a technique that can not only travel with a blinding speed but also have enough power to pierce through steel and the human body alike. It's exactly this combination of raw speed, power, and almost superhuman accuracy that marks Divine Spear as one of the Professor's most lethal weapons.
Name:- Divine Assault
Original:- Divine Spear
Rank:- 4
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon, Lightning Kata
Description:- Sacrificing defense for an overwhelming offense, Gabriel will use both of his hands to unleash a barrage of blindingly fast thrusts that each carries enough power to pierce through steel. Using his enhanced accuracy and natural precision to their limits, he throws each attack from a different angle or position, making it even harder to dodge or defend against this technique.
Name:- Divine Execution
Original:- Divine Spear
Rank:- 4
Aspects:- Piercing Kata; Divine Demon, Lightning Kata
Description:- Standing further away from his target, Gabriel will sprint towards them with blinding speed, stabbing them through the chest with his Divine Spear. The whole technique is a single seamless movement executed without any pause between the sprint and attack. Meaning that from the perspective of an onlooker, Gabriel disappears and reappears only after finishing the attack. That makes Divine Execution into an excellent choice for assassination or surprising attack from distance.
Tier 4
Name:-Empty Moon
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description: The most basic technique of the Dragon. Through precise, flow like movement of his arm Gabriel will intercept his opponent attack and redirect it´s flow of power away from his body. In this manner he can make his opponent´s attack miss as well as make the opponent lose their balance, allowing an opening for a counterattack.
- Name:- Empty Moon: Counter
Original:- Empty Moon
Rank:- 2
Aspects: Redirection Kata
Description: Advanced version of the previous technique. Through precise, flow like movements of his arm, Gabriel will intercept his opponent attack. However instead of simply redirecting their flow of power away from his body, he will absorb it and use it to spin his own body in place, thus simultaneously pulling his opponent from balance and countering with powerful punch which uses both, Gabriel´s and his opponent´s own energy against them, increasing both it´s speed and destructive power.
{Remaining Techniques}A list of remaining techniques, that were collected by Gabriel during his journey, however, weren´t categorized into coherent style yet.
Name:- Tagatana
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description:- Fast and powerful chop performed with the Tagatana or knife hand, where all fingers of the hand are extended and pressed together before Gabriel will attack his target with a circular strike, using the edge of his hand as a “blade”. As the technique by itself can not really cut through human skin, it´s targets are usually vulnerable parts of body, like a lower ribs, collar bone or neck, where it can break bones or stun the opponent.
Name:- Shield
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 1
Description:- Gabriel will take a stance with one of his forearms in front of him and clenched fist pointing upwards thus making his forearm resembling a shield. With his arm in this position he can stop and redirect incoming attacks taking only small portion of the damage rather than full brunt of the attack. However since his muscles aren´ clenched to the level of steel his arm still accumulates damage over time meaning he had to rely on his own toughness when using this technique for longer period of time. It also makes this technique usable only against unarmed opponents as weapons can still cut or pierce his forearm without much difficulty.
Name:- Sanchin no Kata
Fighting Styles:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 1
Description:- This technique is actually set of predetermined stances and moves that can be seamlessly connected to each other as required by the situation. Majority of these moves are hard blocks, where Gabriel is using his forearm, shin or eve elbow and knee to strike against the attacking limb to stop it in it´s tracks. The goal of this is to shook the enemy even if so little to create delay in their attack long enough for the user to exploit with their counter in the form of powerful Gyaku Tsuki (straight middle punch).
Name:- Indestructible
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank:- 2
Description: Through instantaneous clenching of all muscles in his body right before the impact, Gabriel can tighten and tense his whole body thus increasing it´s density and solidity to incredible level. Thanks to this he can prevent outside attack from inflicting much if any damage and even deflecting portion of the damage back to the opponent if he attacks unarmed. As he is also grabbing the ground beneath him with his fingers, picturing himself rooted deeply in the ground he has also increased stability which gives him an ability to withstand heavy blows without being send flying. However both his “indestructibility” and “stability” are limited and can be overcame by sufficiently powerful attacks or techniques.
Name:- Nukite
Original:- Indestructible
Rank:- 3
Aspect:- Steel Kata
Description:- In his regular stance, Gabriel will extend the fingers on his hands and press them together to form the so called “spear hand”. At the same time, using the principles of Steel Kata, Moon will harden his muscles to the level of steel without loosing his mobility. From this position he can then attack his opponent with either jab or cross. Although this technique can not really pierce through human body, given the hardness of his fingers, it´s still pretty destructive especially if aimed at vitals such as throat or solar plexus.
Name:- Monkey Kick
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Rank:- 1
Description:- Special Kick that has an angle somewhere between that of front and roundhouse kick. To execute this technique, Gabriel will step forward with his front leg to gain momentum and enter the proper range, before kicking with his rear leg. The kicking leg is bent like during the front kick, but the knee is pointed at the target to the left or right from the true target which can confuse the enemy. Because right afterwards, the energy generated by snap from his ´s knee is redirected, whipping the leg into arc, and hitting the target from the side. This is useful for getting inside the opponent´s defense and hitting their liver or lower ribs, or to knock down their hands to follow up with close attack.
Name:-Axe Kick
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Rank:- 1
Description: Using the mixture of his incredible swiftness and reflexes, Gabriel will perform fast forward somersault, close to the enemy, channeling all the strength and momentum build by this acrobatic maneuver into powerful axe-kick, hitting the top of his opponent´s head or collar bone with the heel of his kicking foot.
Name:- Falcon Kick
Original:- Axe Kick
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Lightning Kata
Description:- Harnessing the bio electricity in his body to temporally surpass it´s natural limits, Gabriel can perform his regular Axe Kick with blinding speed. If used against unaware opponent, all they´ll see is how the professor disappeared in front of them for a split second, right before they are hit with his attack.
Name:- Empty Moon: Reversal
Original:- Empty Moon
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Redirection Kata
Description:- Advanced version of the previous technique. Throw precise, flow like movement of his arm, Gabriel will intercept his opponent´s attack and grab their limb. However, instead of simply redirecting the flow of their power away from his body, he will use a circular movement of his arm to redirect it back to them, throwing the opponent high in the air, before slamming them head first against the ground. As this technique is using the opponent´s strength against them it requires minimal strength on Gabriel´s side, allowing him to throw even opponents that are much larger than him.
Name:- True Step
Original:- Blink
Rank:- 3
Aspects:- Thunder Kata
Description:- Pushing the speed of his body beyond it´s normal limits, Gabriel can move with his lower legs so fast that he can kick the air itself with enough power to not only jump from it, but to jump from it with blinding speed, making the user able to cover great distances unnoticed.
Name:- Phantom Step
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Rank: 2
Description: By using his bio electricity to stimulate muscles in his lower legs, Gabriel can for short period of time surpass his natural limits and move with blinding speed. That allows him to close the distance between him and his opponent or to create distance between them almost instantly as at the moment he is moving so fast, that eyes of regular human can not follow him. The week point of this technique is that it allows him to move only in straight line, however on the other hand it allows him to carry the momentum of his movement into follow up strike.
Name:- Phantom Kick
Original:- Phantom Step
Rank:- 3
Aspect:- Lightning Kata
Description:- Offensive version of the regular Phantom Step. Using the original technique as his base, Gabriel will charge at his opponent with a blinding speed. Then, as he gets closer to them, Moon will attack his target with a low kick, still using the blinding speed of his. This makes the Phantom kick especially useful for a surprise attacks that shock the enemy and set them up for following strike rather than creating serious injury on it´s own.
Name:- Tagatana
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description:- Fast and powerful chop performed with the Tagatana or knife hand, where all fingers of the hand are extended and pressed together before Gabriel will attack his target with a circular strike, using the edge of his hand as a “blade”.

Background
Childhood
Gabriel was born in North Blue as illegitimate son of local nobleman and opera singer. His father never acknowledge him publicly, but still paid his mother regularly enough to ensure his progeny will live in relative comfort and safety. As he was very curious, their home was pretty soon filled with various books with very broad range of topic from fiction, through history to a mathematics and physic. Maybe because of his mother, he also showed interest in music, but since he lacked any real talent either as a singer nor musician, she quickly lost any hopes of him continuing in her footsteps. Despite this, she was very supportive to him and bought him as many books as she could. Thanks to that ten years old Gabriel probably already read more books than anyone else in the city including several scholars and when he turned eighteen he could rarely find a book he already didn´t read in the past.
College Years
As his hunger for new knowledge was still strong he signed for a nearby university and passed the entrance exam on his first try. Picking the fields he was interested in, he finished his studies in four years with two master degrees, one in history and second in philosophy. During this period he also picked several martial arts, but even through he continued practice them ever since, he never reached any real skills with them as his main interest was always the philosophy behind them and not the art itself. Even through, they came handy to him few times as a mean of self defense during attempted robbery.
Postgraduate Years
In a world where history is considered dangerous, there is not much work for historians and so Gabriel stayed at the university and finished his doctoral degree so he could teach the subject he liked. During his post gradual studies he traveled around the world and even visited the Grand Line few times to gather enough data for his research project, before returning back home. Given the lack of information about his personal life, there were several wild rumors about him and his journey at the university, but he never spoke about his travels outside of the research he conducted.
Later Life
Naturally intelligent, well educated and loved by his students, Gabriel quickly rose in the ranks of his faculty and after finishing several books was named a professor, one of the youngest in the schools history. Right around that time his father and half-brother died during a ship wrack leaving him as the sole heir of his father´s title and fortune. His father´s wife did what she could to prevent him to claim his inheritance, but several old letters proved his origins and so Gabriel could move to form his apartment to his father´s manor, mainly because he wanted more space for his collection of books. Since he let his father´s wife live there with him the two of them made a peace between themselves eventually, even though several arguments arose during the years.
