Gabe Gatsby

- Your weakness An eye of one isn't necessarily a weakness. You've more or less stated that only Gabe will see where the treasure is, which would be the case anyways unless his teammates had Treasure Radar. You could always change it to where he knows how many treasures are in a dungeon, for example, or what enemies will drop certain items/materials, but not know where to find them.

-Please put down the dimensions of your soul bound cards. There are two versions of the standard playing card: the bridge size and the poker size. The bridge size is narrower than the poker size. A poker size card is 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall. A bridge size card is 2.25 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall

The Biography

Birth Name:Gabriel Gatsby Aliases: Gabe Gender:Male Age:22 Birth Day: September 11 Arcana: Magician Place of Residence: Sunlake Palms Evoker: Mental Shackles Academy Semester: Third Year Class: (We'll fill this in once you're approved. This will be your class in school) Sorority:  (Are you a part of a club? If so, put it here. It needs to be a club listed on the guide here. This is optional.) Part/Full Time Job: Appearance: Gabe is a tall (6'1) young man of average build. His black hair has been cut short with bangs reaching his eye level. He is also seen wearing a pair of glasses with a black frame. Concerning his uniform,  he wears black jeans with a brown belt and a white short-sleeved button-up with the seven stats academy sigil on the right breast.  Other times he wears a black, long-sleeved shirt with rolled up sleeves and gray jeans. Spoiler: Alternate Appearance: His uniform also consists of a light blue dress shirt, black dress pants, plum-colored knee-high boots, a black double-breasted trench coat that hangs to his knees, and white gloves. It occasionally comes with a hat,  but the hat and the trench coat are expendable and he always seems to get a new one each time he gets a supernatural area when he loses it, even though  it seems as if the hat never falls off no matter what unless he takes it off.  Gabe's hair color also turns a lighter purple.  He also sports a pair of white gloves. The style basically consists of some sort of magician grandeur, as well as an original appearance of a masked thief. His mask has some sort of a checkered style  that covers the top of the face and has some sort of unique curve to it. Mask Spoiler: Suit Spoiler: Personality: "As I was trying to say" frequently appears in Gabe's speech. It always seems as if he's trying to explain something in a certain way, but his ideas are so abstract that either  he managed to throw the person off , or it takes him a long time to reach the point. However, his uniqueness towards thinking really caters towards his desire to keep people in high spirits with Card tricks. Overall, Gabe likes to learn things for its own sake, you'll never know when some sort of information comes in handy. Gabe doesn't necessarily like it when things are too tidy, it makes him rather annoyed because he lived his life with a neat freak  that raised him and those tendencies probably started to rub off on him. When Gabe is agitated, he's prone to sniffing up to the point when it's rather apparent, though its due to the fact that he stresses himself out so much that it seems as if he's short of breath. Gabe is very imaginative when it comes to practical things, mechanics, and crafts. Novel ideas come easily, and he loves using his hands to put them into action. With all this hands-on creativity and spontaneity, it's no wonder that Gabe is a natural in crisis situations. He enjoy's a little physical risk, and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty when the situation calls for it. He lives in the moment and goes with the flow, refusing to worry too much about the future. As easily as Gabe goes with the flow, he can also ignore it entirely, and usually move in another direction with little apology or sensitivity. If someone tries to change Gabe's habits, lifestyle or ideas through criticism, he can become quite blunt in his irritation. He keeps his personal matters to himself, and often just prefers silence to small talk.

The Background

History:Growing up, Gabe was fascinated by a tragic writer named  Bartholomew Hartley. This man wrote a  series of ten elongated novels that was highly successful before committing suicide.  Rumor has it that it was even worse than "behold a pale horse" and had some sort of mental effects towards people who become engrossed in his literature. Gabe was one of those children. One of the novels that he enjoyed was called "the devil's greatest trick" which followed gambler that had a continuous game of high stakes in order to get his life back. Gabe's childhood was complicated by a illness that he suffered from being born a bit early. It made him sheltered, and the books from Hartley was the only things that he was allowed to have any sort of comfort. He practiced quite a bit with the cards, and got better as he got older in the sense of the playing cards and his illness. He was fine, but got into a lot of trouble due to him imitating the main character of "the devil's greatest trick". the sad part is that he is actually  good at the card tricks, and puts himself into those situations as a way fo emulating his hero.  First he was conning people on the street, but things changed when he made his way to a casino for the first time. He was caught, but the owner took an interest in him and made him a Baiter for the  lucky clover casino. It's basically a place where Gabe serves as a dealer or sits in  as a random player to spot out people cheating at the tables.  For now, that's what was all there is to life, he stopped doing that job since starting school and going straight edge. But you can't necessarily keep a good guy down..
