| Going for a decent walk in the park, Gabe also brought it about himself to hang around the side of the park that all of the individuals that perform tricks from time to time tend to be at. It was only due to the fact that it has been a while since he performed a few tricks of his own, and he figured himself to be quite good. Seeing one of his own companions that he managed to impress, Josh waved Gabe over, who had a bit of a little crowd in order to invite the man.
"Gabe, have your cards on you? I'm in a bit of a bind...." Looking over, Gabe immediately got into a showtime like a persona as he pulled out a "deck" of cards. Any volunteers in this lovely crowd? I have quite the dexterious spectacle for you that you'll surely enjoy! | |

| It was any other day for Kevin, so he took a walk in the park to pass some time. He's not the type who would really go outside but at least, it's better than doing nothing back home. Kevin enjoyed the peace and serenity of the park, some fresh air is not bad after all. While he was walking, he saw crowd gathering. It made him curious why is there a crowd there. Is there a corpse there? a fistfight? That's why he wants to know. Kevin tried his best to swim through the crowd until there was enough distance for him to see what was going on inside it.
Inside the ocean of people was a familiar gentleman he met the other day, Gabriel Gatsby. Kevin was surprised to see him in a place like this. After all, Gabe never mentioned anything to Kevin that he was also some kind of street performer. Kevin, who is now curious of what he can do, stayed and watched Gabe. As Gabe asked for a volunteer, Kevin waved his hand furiously so Gabe can notice. He really wants to see this trick. | |

| "L ooks like we have ourselves a fine volunteer!" Gabe would call Kevin over, noticing that he was the same boy that Gabe met the over day. In some instances, Gabe was happy at the idea to be able to show the younger lad a new trick. Shuffling the deck a few times, Gabe would motion the deck over to Kevin. "Choose any card in the center of the deck. " As Kevin did this, Gabe would secret palm the top card of the deck. - Spoiler:
—Strength Name: Dexterous Rate —Description: Gabe's contains a high level of adroitness involving his hands.
PostSubject: Gabe Gatsby Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:30 pm
Gabriel Gatsby Show Must Go On!!!!
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. However, he alternates between wearing the glassess and not wearin them. 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 with dominant black strands. 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 jeweled style that covers the top of the face and has some sort of unique curve to it.
Mainly the outfit can also be without the trenchcoat and exchanged with black gloves . Without the hat as well, it would be more assumed to a secret service type look without the accessories. 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 Potential
Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three.)
—Strength Name: House of Cards —Description: Because of Gabe's upbringing and the need to do things with his hands, the one thing that he always liked to do and seemed to master was card tricks. He's quite advanced and seems to pull them out of anywhere, as well as be accustomed to some sort of unique style involving his tricks and soul bound.
Soul Bound Weapon: (This is the weapon you'll be able to summon to your hand while in combat. This weapon is special for your character specifically and allows you to fight Shadows and Demons without the need of summoning your Persona. This can be anything but a Gun (Or gun related weapon))
Weapon Name: 52 Pickup Weapon Description: A deck of playing cards that Gabe fights with at his disposal. The soulbound element allows Gabe to give the cards more mass, allowing them to have impressive feats to be used as weapons. Combined with his tricks and the ability to call back the soulbound cards to the deck, it becomes very versatile. The dimensions follow regular poker playing cards 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall

| The crowd made a path for Kevin as he got called by Gabe. Kevin walked proudly through the path as if he won the lottery. "Okay..." Kevin just randomly picked a card in the center. He would then look at the card he picked. It was a seven of diamonds. "What now?" he asked Gabe.

| "Return it to the top of the deck, alright?" After saying this, Gabe would have motioned the deck of cards to Kevin's direction as Kevin went through with. Squaring up the pack, Gabe secretly placing the palmed cards on top of the selected card. Lifting the top two cards as one along with the 7 of diamonds, Gabe then motioned to Kevin. "Are you paying attention? I'm going to put the card you picked on top of the table and I'll need you to place your finger on it ok? " | |

| "Okay..." Kevin placed his card on the top of the deck and placed his pointing finger on the top as instructed. Well, this is a new trick for him. The only card trick he knew was like this one but not placing your finger on the top. The magician would then shuffle the cards and would pick a card that would reveal that he picked the same card as the volunteer. He is excited to see where is this going. | |

| You know, you might just have the magic touch in all of this. " Gabe would say with a smile as he moved closer to the cards that Kevin put his finger on and started to move his hand closer to the pile. "Pardon me..." After Kevin proposedly moved his finger, Gabe secretly picked up both of the top two cards as one and placed it on the top of the deck. Afterward, Gabe lifted up the top card and tapped it on Kevin's hand lightly. Turning it over, Gabe revealed it to be the jack of hearts. "look, the card seemed to change." After that, Gabe would point back to the deck for Kevin to pick up the top card, in order to reveal another jack of hearts. | |

| No f*cking way... How did that happen? "Woah..." The trick left Kevin speechless, he didn't know how it happened. Of course, it has to be some kind of trick, not magic. If that's the case, Gabe's hand is really that dexterous and elusive. "How did that happen?" is all he can say despite being observant from that start, he failed to crack the trick behind this magic. Gabe must be really good at this, Kevin didn't totally expect that to happen. | |

| They claps were pretty decent as everyone that had their eyes on Gabe couldn't tell what exactly happened in the first place. "unfortunately, a magician can never reveal their tricks, but i'm glad it'll keep you guessing. " Gabe was rather satisfied as he did a few more tricks for the others to see as his friend wrapped it up. If Kevin stayed for the rest of it, it would be a pretty decent shod and it would of been a chance to talk to Gabe about it afterward. | |

| Awww, Gabe doesn't want to reveal the trick. But oh well, Kevin will be having fun guessing how the trick happened on his way. Kevin clapped, "I never knew you were a Magician, Gabe. Can you show me more tricks?" Kevin asked. He's not really a fan of magic but, magic tricks never failed to amuse him. It was cool how intelligent and dexterous the magicians are. | |

| "Well, you know, i'll always be able to show you new tricks, whenever you would like to see one. " Gabe would say this with a smile as he would think a moment on something a little bit easy that he could do. " I wasn't expecting you to be at the park today Kevin, but it is definitely a pleasant surprise, nice strolls are just as relevant as walking exercises and you get to see a little bit of your neighborhood. Or in this case, you get to see the things that I would consider rare, little entertainment stalls. " Gabe didn't want to ask too many questions or pry too much, he was generally happy that the lad enjoyed the show.

| "Yeah, I also didn't expect myself to wander in a place like this. I guess being bored takes you somewhere, huh?" Kevin said, scratching his chin at the thought. He's not the type of person who would usually go outside but Gabe is right, this stroll gave him a bit of exercise and some sunlight for that pale skin. Well, he doesn't know about the people though. Not really the friendly type unless he took interest in an individual like Gabe, who he likes for having the same interest as him. "Oh yeah..." Kevin almost forgot something. Kevin searched his pocket for his phone. "Ummm... if you don't mind, can I get your contact number? You see, I need your help. I need to learn more in writing. So, I thought I can get help from someone with a lot of experience like you." Kevin begged as his eyes shined like some anime character. "or maybe, I could get you perform in my birthday" Kevin joked, letting out a soft chuckle. Of course, he's not serious about that. Not only he does not have the money but, he doesn't celebrate his birthdays too often. | |

| "Do you need my help? Oh, well why didn't you say that before? I would have been happy to give you my contact information in the bookstore."
With that being said, Gabe put his cards away and then reached for his cellphone in his other pocket. As he took out his smartphone and pressed a few buttons, Gabe would have shifted it over to Kevin. "I'm usually busy at the casino late at night, so forgive me in advance if you sent a text at 10 or later and i didn't get back to you. However, I am fairly good with getting back to people."
Gabe also laughed at the birthday mention. "I'd also be happy tp perform to the best of my ability, maybe try some new material. Though, writing is something I can do. " Waiting for Kevin to put his number ion the phone, Gabe would wonder about something. "Hey Kevin, were you ever affected by the demons appearing in our world all of a sudden? It varies, but i was just curious." | |

| Kevin quickly typed Gabe's number on his phone as shown on Gabe's phone screen. "Thanks! I'll get to you as soon as possible" Kevin thanked Gabe, pocketing his phone. The aura would change all of a sudden as Gabe asked Kevin a peculiar question. Is he affected by the demons appearing? Well, that's a pretty strange question. Five years ago the Eternal Divide happened, an event that changed Endymion forever. It's caused by a lone Psyche-Terrorist and the event is the reason why demons are appearing everywhere. If it wasn't for the city's cadets, Endymion would be filled with demons. But that still doesn't change Kevin's anger against the government's corruption. "Yeah, I was very affected. I was 12 years old when it happened. Damn, I can still clearly picture the event in my mind. It was such a tragedy. I always relied on my father for protection. I feel so weak and defenseless. Now that i'm old enough, I think I should be able to protect myself, now. My dad has military training and he taught me how to use guns. But... guns are just temporary solution. I want them all gone in this place. If there was a power that could help me do this, I'll take it" | |

| Kevin, unfortunately.....conventional means are useless against the demons. The only things that seem to work is whatever the government is doing. They are the only ones that can fight, and because that's never going to change even IF they did something shady or disregards our human rights, it's impossible to condemn the very same people that we depend on. " Taking his phone back and sending a text to Kevin so that he gets his number as well, Gabe would then put his cell phone away. "In addition to that, frustrations are best left private in times like this. Extremist tend to go above and beyond the call of praising whatever the government does, and i wouldn't want that to transpire into any trouble or pain for you. it's best to be careful who you talk to, people are literally.............uncivilized with their own beliefs. As for me, what you pose..... is a theory."
Gabe tapped his chin and hummed for a moment."Being able to do something for yourself without the reliance of the people that you dislike. there is also the challenge of gaining the trust of people who believed in something else for a long period of time. Long story short, there are plenty of challenges to face, can make for a great book. " | |
