Appearance DetailsGabriel is very well-groomed and deliberate when it comes to looks. He has cold grey eyes framed by thick eyelashes, and his face is dotted with beauty marks, “imperfections” that he covers with makeup. His hair is naturally black but he often dyes it; at the moment, it's sage green. Gabriel wears primarily boots, leather jackets, jeans, and fitted tops, and he keeps two pistols holstered at the small of his back and knives concealed all over him. He has cigarette burns on perpetually bruised knuckles and lacerations across his arms and the palms of his hands from catching knives. There are more injuries and scars, of course, but the only other one ever visible is a small scar splitting his top lip.
His field gear includes a helmet with a comms display and night and thermal vision. There is armor lining his chest and shoulders, the tops of his arms, and the sides of his legs, but the rest is light and breathable. It has a deep hood and a removable half-mask.
Personality TraitsGabriel seems level-headed and quiet when unbothered but is bitter about a lot of things so he’s liable to snap at people. Avoids authority whenever possible and considers other people unintelligent and/or inferior unless proven otherwise. He has an evil-sounding but infectious laugh and a heavily accented, smoky voice. Falls hard and fast, knows it, and hates it.

- Weak to feints and grapples. He's not terribly strong.
- Trauma shutdowns, easy to overwhelm if exposed to a trigger. He'll all but give up.

HistoryThe Schovajsas are a ruthless, enigmatic group of contract killers located in Iceland. They are known for their untarnished success rate and flexibility. Gabriel has been training since he physically could- he made his first kill at twelve and completed his first solo mission at age fourteen. He’s careful and efficient, and he’s still learning.
But he’s only human.
It was a slow buildup starting at age twelve, when he began to fear water; an incident here, a traumatic experience there. He began to crack. Not breakdowns, exactly, but shutdowns, and after coming back from a kill trip he’d hole himself up in his room for days on end. His hits were impeccable, but he had gone from laid back and spirited to… hollow. Like he no longer could take pleasure in anything. The only time he seemed to express anything was when his temper ran out.
His family was worried, and it was decided for him that he needed a break. A reset. Something to clear his head and refocus him and give him time to breathe.
So Vanja had taken him on a trip to America. It would be two weeks in New York, and they were free to do as they pleased. And it had worked! He was coming back to himself. He was smiling, laughing, enjoying it. They would walk around and do lame tourist-y things and eat expensive food and visit museums and parks.
And then one night, he came back to their hotel and found his sister torn apart and strewn around the room.

Likes ice cream. He owns a cinnamon sugar ball python. Frequent antihistamine use because he hates allergies leads to shakiness and nosebleeds. Prefers odd numbers and refuses to touch handrails.
