LIKES:
DISLIKES:
GOALS: Finally being able to start a family, being able to settle down in one place, having a proper garage to house his car
FEARS: Inadequacy, not reaching his full potential as specified by his father, losing his brother.
STRENGTHS: Doesn't fall in love easily, brave, fearless.
WEAKNESS: Family, being too reckless, alcohol.
ETC.: Throughout his life, Gabe has been expected to be strong. His upbringing meant that he was often his younger brother's only guardian, and this led to him developing into the person that he is today. Due to the fact that he was constantly reassuring his little brother, yet never being reassured himself, he is incredibly reluctant to open up to people about his feelings. Vulnerability is something that he never wishes to portray, and he believes confiding in others to be a sign of this. Despite his big-man façade, Gabe fosters an incredible amount of insecurities; one of his biggest fears is inadequacy.
Gabe can be selfish and selfless in the same breath, but will do anything to protect his loved ones. This often turns out to be his Achilles heel; people know how fiercely he loves those that are close to him, and sometimes use this to hurt him. Gabe is a compulsive womaniser, and can't help but appreciate a good looking woman. His lifestyle means that he rarely settles in one place for long, and he hasn't had a serious relationship in a long, long time. One night stands and broken promises of calling in the morning are more his forte. However, it should be noted that - should Gabe ever find someone that he is entirely compatible with - he would completely surrender his old ways, and devote himself to that one woman.
Gabe finds humour in places which other people might find inappropriate. He doesn't do so out of rudeness; it's more due to the fact that it's embedded in him to make light of serious situations, a habit he gained when reassuring his little brother.
IT'S ALL IN THE PAST.

PARENTS: Gabe's mother died when he was young, and his father recently passed away.
SIBLINGS: Gabe's only brother is four years his junior, and is currently attending college.
HISTORY: Gabe's life took a dramatic turn after his mother died. He and his younger brother were left to be raised by their father, who - although he loved them dearly - wasn't exactly the maternal type. His job meant that the boys had to move around a lot, staying in different, cheap motels every few nights, so their school life was incredibly unsettled. They rarely stayed in the same school for more than a month or two, which meant that they missed out on making friends, and any they did make they had to leave behind. Gabe was determined to be whatever his father needed him to be, and wanted nothing more than his praise. Gabe wasn't sheltered like his little brother; he was expected to be the anchor, an additional adult in the household even when he was still just a boy.
Gabe's time at high school was unsettled and incredibly difficult. To begin with, he was incredibly studious, and caught up on anything he missed at home. As time passed, he became less and less bothered with succeeding in school - largely due to the fact that he was looking after his brother and moving from motel to motel - and started failing classes. His end of year grades were mediocre, despite the fact that he was quite intelligent, and he left school to focus on training to be a police officer.
