HISTORY:

Twenty years, and a little over half a year ago, Gabriel James Rohan was born. He had no siblings at that time, and would never have any in the future. His parents had planned for one child, and one child only. His mother was thrilled once he was born; he looked like her, only with his father's eyes. His parents were the sort that had carefully planned this event. They spent weeks simply picking the perfect name for him after they had found out the gender of their child. They picked the Israeli name which meant 'hero of God'; Gabriel. His parents were highly religious, and this seemed to be the perfect first name. His middle name, after much discussion, was made 'James' to honor his mother's deceased father. And so Gabriel James Rohan came into the world.

Life was uneventful for the next five or so years. Gabriel proved to be an active child, and the apple of his parent's eye. His pale blond hair seemed to lighten if anything, and his eye color remained the same. Around this time, however, his parents were anticipating his first shift. They tried to keep him indoors as much as possible to avoid him shifting in public. And on one evening, just after the Rohan's tucked their son into bed, the event occurred which triggered his shift. Not ten minutes later, they heard a scream from his room. They rushed to his bed, and found Gabriel on his feet, pushing himself into a corner and pointing at the floor. A large, black rat had found it's way into the room. Mr. Rohan quickly disposed of the creature, and returned to the room where his wife was clutching Gabriel's hand. The shift had began.

The next three hours were terrible for not only Gabriel, but his parents. They watched as their boy's body warped, and twisted, and shrunk. Gabriel shrieked, and winced while his parents tried to calm him and explain what was happening. It was that night that they discovered his animal form; a white rabbit.

Once again, after that night, life returned to normal. Gabriel, being as young as he was, got over the shock and memory of it quickly. At the age of seven he was enrolled in piano lessons where he showed not only extreme interest, but unusual talent. He excelled in school, although never seemed to have as many friends as parents generally expect. Nevertheless, he was a healthy, talented boy and his parents were very proud.

Time went on. It wasn't until nine years later that life was disrupted yet again. Gabriel had almost convinced himself that the first shift had been a mere nightmare when he did it again. It was an unexpected surprise. One night, while his parents had gone out, Gabriel had simply been working on a homework assignment when a sharp pain shot through him. He blacked out, and a few minutes later, he came to once again. The proportions seemed distorted, and for a moment, Gabriel was utterly confused. Then he caught a glimpse of himself in his television screen and realized what had taken place; his second shift.

Over the next few years Gabriel tried to take control over this new issue. Though he could only shift at will twenty-five percent of the time, he was able to prevent it from occurring in front of others. Meanwhile, at school, everyone seemed to be at the age where the opposite sex was all of a sudden attractive. Gabriel had a few simple crushes, though nothing progressed from these. He simply stood by and watched while the rest of the world seemed to date everyone they could. He was fifteen when he had his first real crush, although it wasn't the average crush a fifteen-year-old boy has. It was on another male. When he realized it, Gabriel felt sick, and isolated. He felt like an outcast. He tried to will it away; he never asked for this. He remained in the closet.

Six years later, he still lives in Vaux City. He is still musically talented. And he is still in the closet. He couldn't bare letting that secret flow through the crowds in his high school years, and he hasn't yet found it necessary to come out. He has become able to control his shifting. Gabriel now gives music lessons to younger generations, and has just moved into a place of his own.

PERSONALITY:

Gabriel has always been the nerd sort of stereotype. Even as a young child, he focused on school. His parents had always insisted that a good education is what he needed, and he listened with all his heart. He was a hard-working student right from kindergarten up to graduation. Gabriel is the kind of person to shy away from the main group, and keep to himself. Due to this, he only has a few friends. Being the loner-type, he doesn't care much, and honestly prefers it.

Another thing that could be said about Gabriel is he is a generally easy-going, honest kind of guy. He is not one to get angry or stressed easily. He gives his advice fairly, and avoids lying like the plague. He is very optimistic, and prefers to keep his bad opinions to himself. He has learned to take nothing at face-value, unlike some. Gabriel is very observant, having been on the edge of the social groups for his life. He had learned to tell when someone is faking a smile, or covering something up; unless, of course, they are particularly convincing. His voice is very quiet as well, and he is often asked to speak-up.

Gabriel is also gifted with musical talent; especially piano. His parents enrolled him in piano lessons when he was quite young. In his high school years he was in the school band for clarinet, and took to learning guitar in his spare time. He has learned a variety of instruments, though knows nothing better than his piano. It is one of the few things he is very proud of.

MONA LISA, PLEASED TO PLEASE YOU,
my one regret is you.[/b][/size]

OTHER CHARACTERS: None... yet!
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:

A young black and white tom padded confidently on through the HawkClan territory. He was alone, and though was not yet a fully fledged warrior, he did not seem to care. Not about getting in trouble, anyway. He did wish he had some company. The young apprentice was not used to solitude, always preferring to lead his large group of friends around.

He considered himself a strong role model to them. Not all cats would agree with this statement, of course, considering his character. He could not help getting in trouble -- in fact, he seemed to rather enjoy it -- and was always putting himself, and others, in dangerous positions. He simply loved his games, though. He enjoyed the rush of excitement he got from it, and if there were others watching him, even better! Just the thought of being in the spotlight was enough to make a silly grin cross his handsome features.

Swiftpaw gazed around at his surroundings. He was not sure where he had originally meant to end up, but his paws lead him close to the border of DoveClan. He sat down, and stared into the land belonging to DoveClan. He tilted his head slightly to the left. What was DoveClan like? Was it all just hills, or did they have forests like OwlClan? Or marshes like HawkClan? He felt himself filling with curiosity. He knew it was against Clan laws to trespass on another Clan's territory, but was it honestly unexpected for him to ignore yet another rule? Another grin settled on his face at the thought. Rules were meant to be broken, were they not? Besides, he knew it was hard for cats to resist him if he turned on his charms.

He rose from his sitting position, and padded even closer to the invisible border separating the two areas. He began to reach a black paw over to the other side, but hesitated. This would be much more interesting if someone was with him... After all, he lived for his friends to be breathlessly watching as he played his reckless games. His eyes narrowed, and his grin transformed into a thoughtful frown. He sat down once again, still on the HawkClan side of their border, and wrapped his tail around him until the tip was by his paws.

Perhaps he should go in search of his friends, or siblings, and re-try this again then? Or should he enter the territory regardless of him being alone? Perhaps he would even locate a cat in DoveClan to show-off to! After all, he was great. He even made friends with some of the younger warriors. Clearly he was much more fun than most -- no, all -- of the other cats. Once again, he was about to reach his paw across the border for his first step in DoveClan. This time he was halted by a scent drifting toward him on the breeze. His ears perked up happily. Flamepaw!

"Hey, Flamepaw!" he called out, looking around for the tom, "Come over here! I have a new game!" He paused, then added, "I'll even let you play!"

I hope this is okay. I took one of my recent roleplay posts. I never have muse enough to write a decent sample. ):
