Health and Image
Diet: Not great. He's very fond of sweets, tends to cut corners on what he eats since he's a little lazy. He can cook well, but he doesn't really care about his body so he just...eats whatever he wants
Exercise: He tries to go for runs every day, and he does smaller weights and more endurance training

Dexterity: Very dexterous, good with his hands
Reflexes: Sharp, as he needs them to be; he has instinctive reflexes
Abnormalities: Missing the tip of the fourth digit on his right hand
Vulnerabilities: Most of the scars on his back, if pressed, still give him intense pain - more psychological than anything else, it seems, but it's still a good way to stop him from moving

Imperfections: Many scars, mostly; heavily over his arms and hands, missing part of his finger
Broken Bones: None at the moment
Reason for Health: Wastelander, former criminal, monster hunter and sniper
Wardrobe: Usually lighter clothing; beige to white button-up shirts, but dark trousers (usually black; often skinny jeans if he's in a casual setting), some ties can be found, though he never uses them. Black leather jackets for cooler weather if he needs them, plaid shirts to use as an extra layer, lots of combat boots
Accessories: A red scarf is always present on him; no matter what the situation. Bracelets also cover his right forearm right to the crease of his elbow - mostly braided and plain leather, with some beaded and two or three sea glass
Equipment: He has a knife somewhere on his person, but it changes places whenever he picks it up, so good luck finding it. However, he has never been seen using it for more than peeling fruits he wants to eat, so it's probably for extreme measures. A phone that he's had for two or three years is also on his person, though he doesn't have many numbers in it and usually uses it for games. A packet of cigarettes, usually of some obscure Egyptian brand, is often in his back pocket and he seems to own five various lighters that always manage to run out of gas just as he goes to use them. He also has a neat black spyglass with silver trimming that he treasures
Musical Instruments: He plays the violin, and plays it well; he can also play the flute and piano though to a lesser extent, and he doesn't enjoy either nearly as much as the violin
Piercings: Many. The shells of both ears are lined with small black hoop earrings, the left ear has four lobe studs while the right has two lobe piercings; one stud and a small blue-green hoop that is possibly made of labradorite. He has a labret and a tongue piercing, too
Hygiene: Very good; he tends to notice if he isn't clean and much prefers to take showers every morning or evening, depending on activities, and he's prone to compulsively washing his hands
Makeup: Double-winged eyeliner is his thing, so he wears it almost daily - though sometimes it switches to a simple wing. Either way. Always on-point, let's be real
Perfume / Cologne: None to note, he doesn't care enough about how he smells outside of being clean
Scent: Soothing yet lowkey spicy; hints of cinnamon here and there, and something more, though it's hard to tell - it's probably the shower gel he uses, or his deodorant, but his scent is often compared to a desert. Rather amusing to him, considering where he's from
Scars: Gale is a very scarred man. Two scars cut through his right eyebrow, there's a small one over the left side of his cheek, another two on the right side of his jawline. His throat is marred by scarring, clearly having been torn at before, and his scars goes further; his back is downright battered, long thin scars going horizontally, some deeper scars crisscrossing, and one of the deepest lining his spine. His arms have many scars, as do his hands; his fingers are practically riddled in them (same with the backs and palms of his hands). His legs are just as scarred as the rest of him, mostly his thighs and ankles. He also has an uneven patch of scarring over his lower abdomen
Tattoos: The silhouette of a jackal's head is at the back of his neck, usually hidden by his scarf; he also has a watercolour tattoo of forget-me-nots over his right shoulder. This covers his left arm, and he has the number '2' tattooed on the inside of his left ankle - another thing that's rarely seen
Voice
Accent / Dialect: Notable, semi-heavy accent; Egyptian, though it's hard to tell which part it's from - possibly lower Egypt
Voice: Generally quite soft, soothing to hear
Pitch: Mid-low
Volume: Quiet, unless excited - then he's just slightly less quiet rather than loud (though he has been known to be loud once or twice)
Laughter: Contagious laughter, when genuine; soft and melodic, often described as sweet
Impediments: None to note
Psychology
IQ: 130
Languages: Egyptian Arabic, French, English, Spanish, Russian, Belorussian, Italian, Mandarin Chinese
Vocabulary: Wide in Arabic, French, and Spanish. Decent in Russian, Belorussian and English, passable in Italian and Mandarin
Memory: Eidetic (photographic); incapable of forgetting things
Temperament: Melancholic, believe it or not
Learning Style: Kinesthetic
Emotional Stability: His emotional stability isn't always the best, but he tries to hide it
Mental Health: Gale's memory means he never forgets, and so his mental health tends to be lower the more he thinks about his past
Instincts: He relies heavily on his instincts; which tend to be fight or flight, depending on the threat level of his opponent (or how confident he is)
Bodily-Kinesthetic: Very good; his hand-eye coordination is very impressive, even taking into consideration his job
Interpersonal: Generally, he doesn't seem to know how to read people or how to react to them, so he tends to fall behind in this department
Intrapersonal: He knows himself a little too well, is hyper-aware of everything about himself
Linguistic: As a linguist, very good. Probably the best part about him - he picks up languages with ease and retains them, likely due to his eidetic memory. It can take him a month or less to become more or less fluent, if he puts in effort (though he rarely does, so it takes longer)
Logical-Mathematical: Surprisingly good; it catches people off guard. He's a very logical thinker, good at picking up hints and connecting the dots. Most of the time. He's also a very mathematical person considering his line of work
Musical: Considering he plays instruments well, it's good. He's good at music, and can easily ready sheet music - so no problems there. He doesn't really enjoy having music on in the background unless he's in the mood for it, and he's a bit of an elitist despite the fact that his music tends to be emo
Naturalistic: Another surprisingly good category. The dude is plant lover five thousand, though he seems to be very wary about animals. He's great with the meanings behind flowers and he can differentiate harmful plants from harmless ones, and knows (generally) how to deal with them
Spatial: He has high spatial intelligence; visualising in his mind's eye, judging distances and the general gist is his whole thing, really. Hell, he's a good artist too so that helps a lot
Existential: He is not well-equipped to handle philosophy, and he will outwardly refuse to participate in philosophical debates or the like. He hates thinking about the meaning of life
Philosophy
Religion: None
Devotion: Team Alpha; mainly to Alphonse Fournier and Quinn O'Sullivan - alongside his sister, Kesi Amari
Superstitions: He's not a very superstitious person, though he does believe that blue turquoise holds good luck; though his main hoop earring is not made of this, the little stud-earrings he wears in his ears are mainly blue turquoise, and some of the beads of his bracelets are made of blue turquoise
Morality: Dark grey (meaning: grey in theory, tends to lean towards "bad" morals)
Etiquette: Surprisingly, he has good etiquette; he's very choosy about who gets his politeness, and the better his etiquette, the more political he's likely to be when he speaks. However, do not expect him to say please or thank you or even to apologise
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Attitude: Though it depends on his mood, his general attitude is calm and kind, yet reserved
Outlook on Life: Pessimistic realist; the world will weigh as heavy as it can to hold you back, in his eyes
Perception: Gale is good at picking up what's going on around him if he's paying attention - and that's a big if, unless he's on the field
Philosophy / Motto: "It's not the wold that's cruel, but the people in it."
Taboos: Relationships with minors or family members, abuse, s/ harassment, lying for the sake of lying
Vices: Doubtful, envious, erratic, prone to bouts of maliciousness, manipulative, ruthless
Virtues: Creative, dependable, enduring, faithful, gentle, knowledgeable
Character
Primary Objective: Keeping his team and his sister's family safe
Secondary Objectives: Ridding the world of monsters - unrealistic, but it keeps him looking forward
Priorities: Ensuring the team are alive, and that they're going to stay that way
Motivation: His team
Self Confidence: It wavers, but for the most part, he tends to be confident in himself and in his actions
Self Control: Not great; he's impulsive due to his BPD, and so his self control is usually in the hands of someone else - either a superior or a family member
Self Esteem: It could be much, much better. He's extremely aware of his own body, and isn't too happy with it. He notices how loud he's breathing or how his voice is, and he gets uncomfortable in his own skin rather easily
Quirks: When barefoot he walks on his toes, breaks up sandwiches into small pieces before eating, can calculate complex mathematical problems in his head but can't count using his fingers, can withstand extreme temperatures but tends to be bothered by more natural temperatures, stares at his hands when anxious or thinking, needs to be somewhere high (preferably a rooftop) if he doesn't feel safe, prone to laughing at jokes that no-one else laughs at, responds to truths from other people with truths of his own
Hobbies: Reading, cooking, video gaming, yoga
Closet Hobbies: Gardening, flower collecting
Guilty Pleasures: The language of flowers - just...flowers in general, man. He's a flower man
Habits: Leg shakes when he sits, tends to click objects (his gun or a pen), bites his lip, cracks his knuckles often, uses his eyebrows often as a form of expression
Desires: To keep those he loves alive
Wishes: He holds a deep wish to just simply die - but on top of that, he wishes for everyone he cares about to stay safe and happy
Lures: Nicotine, high places, intercourse
Manias: Hypomania
Afflictions: Being left alone, being consistently lied to
Traumas: Gale has many - there's a reason he is how he is. Alongside torture and near-death, there are less savory traumas that lay in the back of his mind. He will never talk about them - partially because people don't believe him
Worries: Having no-one to rely on, failing his job, causing the death of someone he cares for, being a failure
Nervous Tics: Chewing his lip, picking at the skin around his nails, biting his hand, scratching any part of his body
Instigators: General anxiety, over-thinking, losing someone he cares for
Soothers: Smoking, being in a high, open place, playing the violin, flowers
Savvies: Taking care of flowers, baking, music, mathematics, sniping
Ineptities: Close-combat fights, flirting/romancing, knives (for anything other than cooking), stillness for long periods of time, and so on
Soft Spots: Children (mainly his sister's), his team, beautiful men, certain accents
Cruel Streaks: Abusers (s. and otherwise), people who kill for fun
Accomplishments: Surviving, becoming part of Team Alpha, being able to defeat his first monster (and then some after that) - keeping Kesi's family alive up to this point, hitting his marks 85% - 90% of the time
Greatest Achievement: Becoming a highly-regarded sniper
Failures: Losing Mori, losing team members, allowing Jacques to go to prison and trusting the wrong people
Biggest Failure: Being unable to do anything when one of his monsters tore his mother apart
Favorite Dream: Having Mori and Jacques back, forming their little family with Tea and having nothing to worry about - being able to live the rest of their lives peacefully
Worst Nightmare: Sabah returning, taking his life into her hands again, feeling the bite of wounds because she is not a kind woman
Earliest Memory: His parents looking down on him with something like pride
Fondest Memory: His childhood, when he would visit his mother and the two of them would spend hours together - her stories of grandeur and her over-dramatics, her dog dancing around her ankles, the sun shining down and making her a queen of gold. She would teach him to utilise weaponry, would teach him whatever he asked if she knew it
Worst Memory: The day Sabah betrayed him. The cold bite of a blade, the feeling of hopelessness, the feeling of being lost because there were too many people around him, none of them speaking a language that he spoke
Funniest Moment: There are very few - but he recalls the day that Kesi tumbled back into his life after the fallout of the Jackals, remembers how out of place she had been in a rowdy bar, the look on her face upon realising why he was here - it's not a pleasant moment, but the look on her face had been hilarious, at the time
Happiest Moment: The day Kesi accepted him as family again
Saddest Moment: Mori's death, Jacques' imprisonment, when he thought Tea had died - there are too many moments to choose from
Most Prized Possession: His scarf and his spyglass. Both were gifts from extremely important people
Most Valuable Possession: Probably his phone - he doesn't have much, really
Collections: Flowers, guns, antique coins
Embarrassments: His entire emo phase
Mannerisms: Prone to running his hands through his hair while waiting for someone, presses his tongue against his canine teeth when bored
Humor: Satirical, mainly - though he appreciates funny one-liners and some morbid humours
Regrets: Letting his demons into the world; not being able to save his mother, trusting some of the people he's trusted
Secrets: He doesn't want to be alive, he's surprisingly dependent on people, he just wants people to care for him as much as he cares for them
Darkest Secret: Gale, when much younger, drove a man to suicide
Pet Peeves: Bad hygiene, being ignored for someone else, being even brushed against without consent
Phobias: Taphephobia (being buried alive), claustrophobia (enclosed spaces), mild eremophobia (being alone), mild heterophobia (fear of the opposite sex)
Greatest Fear: To lose someone he cares for deeply
Confidence: He tends to come off as pretty confident; he speaks very well when it's a subject he knows of, so he can come across as very confident in some situations
Creativity: He's an extremely creative person, always thinking outside the box - both in art and in combat
Generosity: Gale is making up for his childhood, so he tends to be very generous; though only to a degree, as he doesn't want to give too much
Honesty: Extremely honest. He will not lie unless he needs to, and he tends to play truth for a truth, in which he tells a truth and expects someone to give him something of equal weight
Loyalty: Extremely loyal; he will not betray someone he deems worthy
Insecurities: His height (unknown to all), his general appearance - hell, he's pretty damn insecure about his own personality
Patience: Despite being an impulsive person, Gale has godly patience. He's a sniper. What would you expect? He needs to be patient, and so it makes him unnerving in some situations
Predictability: Highly unpredictable - seems surprised by a lot of his own actions
Reliability: He's an extremely reliable person - tends to prioritise what he's asked to do above his own needs
Respect: He is not very respected, but he does tend to respect people who earn it; he won't respect someone just because they're higher-ranked than him, which makes him problematic in some ways (not to say he can't fake it)
Responsibility: One word: yikes. He's not very responsible unless he has the life of someone he cares for at risk
Trustworthiness: It's worth trusting him to the death if he likes you. Otherwise, sleep with one eye open - it depends on who you are, but he's generally a very trustworthy person
Common...
Compliments: It's rare he compliments people, so he doesn't really have anything to note that's common
Insults: كس أمك
Expletives: Gale cusses like a sailor, so there's nothing in particular that stands out. He either cusses forever or doesn't cuss at all, no in-between
Farewells: مع السلامة
Greetings: اهلا
Mood: Neutral, gentle
Words: He doesn't have any common words
Emotional Status: Neutral
Preferences
Likes: Qasab (sugarcane juice), sweets, video games, books, the sound of clocks ticking, the scent of the air after heavy rainfall, naps (when he can get them), spicy food
Dislikes: Bitter foods, lemons, extreme noise, crowds
Favorites: Flowers, dates, grapes, Umm Ali (a dessert), the colour grey, Rough Collie dogs, he has many favourite songs, and he can't really choose his favourite book. He adores bees
Least Favorites: Spiders (nearly phobic, but not quite), the romanticism of suicide and thoughts of, those who play with the trust of others, those who demand respect without the right, and more
Combat [memes ahead on this section: Gale is useless]
Ability: Though Gale's gun handling is prodigious, he is not good at close-combat due to his lighter frame and because he has never really considered it
Martial Arts: None to note - basic self defense doesn't really count
Resistances: He's very resistant to learning martial arts like the a--hole he is
Strengths: Gun
Weaknesses: Not gun
Futilities: He's prone to submitting very quickly when it comes to close combat as he's not good at it, but his entire back can cause him to be easy to take down anyway on the off-chance you catch him off-guard
Restrictions: The fact that he never learned how to fight with his fists, probably
Origin: Gun School, Which Is For Guns
Source: His mother, various snipers he's met along the way
Specialty: He will always be a gun specialist, even if he can craft other weapons
Courage: "Yolo" is his new life motto
Home, Work, and Education
Abode: He lives in a small house that's well-kept despite being in the middle of nowhere, in a safe zone where it's actually safe to breathe. His house is just one story, and it's not much, but it's home.
Hometown: Unknown Safe Zone, Egyptian Wastelands
Citizenship: Egyptian
Culture: He's fond of his culture - the art and the literature is something that heavily interests him, and he's very fond of the cuisine. He enjoys the history of Egypt, enjoys many traditions. Honestly, it's just background to his ethnicity for him, however
Traditions: Since his mother died, he goes to her grave yearly to tell her about his life. It's the only tradition he has
Routine: Wake up, exercise, shower, train, work, socialise (to a degree), work some more, work a little more, socialise a bit, personal time, eat, shower if he's dirty, attempt to sleep. It's to note that he only seems to eat one meal a day unless asked to do otherwise
Sleep Patterns: Spotty, at best. He suffers from heavy insomnia, and coupled with his paranoia, he tends to hate sleeping in unfamiliar places or around unfamiliar people. He tends to panic if he doesn't have a wall against his back, and so it's common for him to take his blankets to the nearest wall by the door to be able to sleep. Even then, he'll sleep for a maximum of two hours at a time. This means he's prone to napping
Eating Habits: He's an extremely picky eater, tends to lean towards sweets rather than savory food - with an exception to very, very spicy foods. He doesn't eat much even considering his smaller stature, but he snacks here and there over the course of the day
Pets: None, his mother's dog ran away after she died, and he's been too busy to even consider getting another one

Romance
First Love: Sabah Ganim
Former Lovers: Teagan Lawrence
Love Interests: None
Marital Status: In a relationship, dating
Significant Other: Quinn O'Sullivan
Love Style: He loves as he lives; falls hard, and stays there. He is often more loyal to a lover than he is to other people, and worries often for their safety. However, he's also sweet, somewhat of a sappy romantic even if he doesn't seem the type. He falls harder for people who compliment him often, and even more to people who respect his boundaries
Flirtiness: Dude can't flirt. At all. He's bad at it. But hey, please flirt with him, he basks in the attention believe it or not
Impressions
First: Highly skilled and certainly worth something; if not a little...underwhelming in appearance
Self: If only I were more
Family: Disappointing to the father's side, one of the best people I know for Kesi's children and herself
Lover: quote from dia; the best thing that ever happened to him(tm)
Friends: Trustworthy, honest to the end, worth keeping around
Associates: Unnerving in some aspects, but keenly intelligent
Authority: Though he has trouble with basic manners, he doesn't step out of line
Strangers: Quiet and a little too watchful, but soft-looking; probably easy to step on
Enemies: He needs to be taken care of.
Personality
Anima: Fragile and delicate as a flower, sweet to the end - Gale is as vulnerable as he is observant, and yet he's unaware of how soft he can be. Too forgiving, very rarely holding grudges...he is, frankly, a danger to his own self. He's extremely passionate about what he likes and could probably talk for hours about them, but doesn't for fear of being judged. Gale worries heavily about the opinion of others, and so he does not show them what he is like for fear of being rejected. He is a sweet-mannered man, though a little shaky in the mental health department.
Personas: Though a degree of his sweetness leaks into his main persona, he comes off as someone with nothing to lose (partially true) and as someone who can handle himself. He is often seen as a sturdy force, a rock to lean on in harsher times - but he's very quiet, tends to speak only if he thinks it's needed.
Monster
First Monster: A massive two headed jackal-like beast, though it did not quite attack him. Instead, it whispered his worst secrets, his fears and told him that he was a disappointment, that everybody hated him. It wanted him to finish himself off, rather than to kill him itself. Many of his monsters since then have been similar to that, though not in appearance. It was only a 3-scale monster, and so was not very dangerous.
Monster Weakness: Electrum / green gold
Weapon: A self-made sniper rifle, black and silver in colour. It's mobile, able to be used as a sniper rifle without having to set up on the ground, meaning that he has more ways to snipe. There's a small button that he presses to bring up the scope and extend the gun, and he can press it again to bring the scope back in (though he's prone to messing around and breaking this, hence why he spends most of his time fixing it). It also functions as something like a submachine gun for close-range attackers.
