Appearance: Gabe has this intense hottie look about him. He is tall and well built, particularly his arms and abs. He has short brown hair that has a tendency to spike out everywhere despite his styling it differently. His brown eyes are very intense and at times a bit scary. He has a full beard which he keeps neatly trimmed at all times. He has a scar under his left eye and one on his right wrist. He dresses in baggy clothes and is often carrying several different types of weapons.

Personality: Despite Gabe's intense look, his personality is completely different. He is smart-assed,teasing and has a love of life. He speaks freely and at times that gets him in trouble. His parent's taught him to respect those older and of more power than him and Gabe holds true to that. Gabe is also solely dedicated to his family or rather what is left of it. Gabe does become extremely protective of his family and will do anything to keep them safe and alive.

History: History: Gabriel was born and raised in Boston,Ma to Elilah and Brooke Ryan. For the longest time Gabe was the only child and they lavished all their attention on him and Gabe loved his parents back with all that he had. His early years were unremarkable until he turned 13 and their family was blessed with a young daughter,whom they named Reese. From the moment Reese was born,Gabe was her protector. He always made sure Reese was safe and happy. All the while he was growing and evolving his own interests. His family was still the most important thing.

When Gabe entered his full teenage years he began to study martial arts and was found to have a natural ability for it. He moved quickly through the levels until he reached brown belt,where he stayed for several long years. After graduating from high school Gabe went to work for the dojo he trained at and attended community college. He still continued to keep a protective eye over his sister as she grew.

Gabe's life continued to go along rather well until one evening he was out with friends and on the way home was attacked by a wayward tiger. Managing to survive Gabe then set about finding the tiger and his group,in order to learn about the new life he was now being forced to deal with. Once he was within the group Gabe was able to see what the tigers were like and he flourished during that time,moving up through the ranks until he was bodyguard to the Rama. All the while he stil continued to have a close relationship with his parents and his sister,who was now becoming a young woman with her own interests and desires.

Eigtheen months ago,however,Gabe's life changed. Working late one evening Gabe was closing up the dojo when the police approached him and asked him to come with him,not really giving him to much information until they reached the Ryan home. It was there Gabe was told that a party next store had gotten out of hand and his parents had been mauled and killed. His sister,Reese,had also been mauled but was still barely alive and taken to the local county hospital for treatment.

Seething with anger Gabe managed to find out from the police it had been a pack of young wolves that had partied a little too hard and got a little too cocky,shifted and went on a hunting spree. Forcing himself not to go hunt them down that night Gabe went to the hospital and spent several days and nights at his sisters bedside,until she was healed and able to go home. He moved her in,found her the pack to join and then requested the rogue wolves be hunted and killed for the transgression against his family. The pack,granted his request and even allowed the tiger to join the hunt.

After the rogue's had been killed the siblings settled into life as tiger brother and wolf sister. Reese continued to work and learn from the pack. Gabe continued with his duties in the amuk and at the dojo. Two months ago the wolf pack was taken over by a leader that was demanding rather unsavory things from the beta's and Gabe refused to allow his sister to participate. Since removing her from the pack,he has moved them from city to city,until hearing of an amuk in New Orleans in need of a bodyguard and of a pack with a fair leader. Petitioning both the Rama and the Lupa for admitance into the city for both he and Reese,Gabe has moved them both into the city and has set out to get them both settled and safe.

Strengths: Gabe is a strong alpha and can shift his hands at will and has a strong resistance to silver. Gabe is trained in several forms of martial arts. He can also handle a variety of guns and knives. He takes his job as bodyguard very seriously. His family is also a strength.

Weaknesses: While his family maybe a strength it is also a weakness. He has a hard time post shift and takes longer to recover. He still carries a great deal of anger over the death of his parents and the infection of his sister.

Quirks: Has a collection of transformers and ancient chinese and japanese swords.

Other: Owner of the Crouching Tiger Dojo
