[@twannyman] I understand. Autocorrect can be a pain sometimes :/. 

Here are my recommendations. But remember it's your character and you are free to create your character however you want (as long as if it fits in with the lore and theme of the RP). 

Childhood:
>Where he lived? Kingdom, settlement, was he poor or fairly well off?
>What adventure his father went on? (perhaps a adventure into the abandoned Dwarven cities may be a good idea)
>What was Gabanre view on his mother and father? did he love them, hate them, respect them, etc
>Where did he learn his sword fighting skills? Did his father teach him

Mage Circle:
>How did he find his time at the mage circle
>How successful was he compared to the other students? Novice, Average, Star Pupil
>Considering the war for the throne hasn't started yet it would have been more likely he heard about the death of king John and decided to become a mercenary then. Which would also mean he would be quite new as a mercenary.

Motives:
>What are Gabanre's motives? Gold, Power, getting a high position on the political hierarchy
>What are his morals like? Good, Bad, neutral

Appearance:
The picture you gave was fine, but maybe you could add things like his height and clothes, also you may want to change his hair given that outside of the world of anime blue hair isn't exactly natural :p.

Once you have made these changes send me a PM and I will check it over to make sure everything is fine. After that you will be free to add it to the character tab :).

edit: wow. Didn't know that angle brackets changed the colour :)
