how the ability works ♦ Blessed with the gift to take the physical pain of others on to himself and able to use his only joy/pleasure to heal himself, Gabriel was born with a rare version of pathokinesis. His powers allow for him to heal those that he touches of physical wounds. This healing comes at a price, as Gabe can not erase the wounds of a person but instead must take them on himself. When his healing is performed, he takes on all the pain that came with the wounds at once. His healing is also not all powerful, he can not regenerate lost limbs or heal genetic disorders. If the the damage is to severe, he must heal in sessions to fully restore the patient. Gabriel's own healing is also limited to his feelings of joy/pleasure. He has to feel intense amount of either one in order to access his own healing. The act of self healing in this fashion leaves Gabe physically and emotionally exhausted and usually falls into a deep sleep that can last anywhere from a few hours to a day depending on the amount of damage he regenerated.

He dress in ways that helps to keep attention off him as in his mind, the less attention he gets, the less likely he will do something stupid.

Sleep: Gabe adores sleeping both as a need for his abilities and just the act of it. His sisters: Gabriel adores his sisters, they are the reason for his improvement as a person. Pain: due to his young life, Gabriel now finds pleasure in pain. This has the unfortunate side effect of him wanting to share the pleasure with others.
dislikes ♦ Physical activity: Gabriel prefers to spend his time reading and/or sleeping. Drugs: due to his abilities, Gabriel isn't affect by drugs. He doesn't like how they affect others. Torture: Due to his upbringing and seeing all the horrors others were put through, Gabriel can not stand torture. Having his sleep interrupted: His need for sleep is so important that when some one disturbs it he gets extremely aggravated.
strengths ♦ Advance knowledge on Human body: due to his gifts, Gabriel has a very rare understanding of the human body, the punishment it can take, and an understanding of how it works. High pain threshold: his healing abilities have given him an advance pain threshold meaning he can take more damage than the average human before it becomes too much and he faints.
weaknesses ♦ Amoral: Gabriel has a skewed sense of what is right and wrong, this leads to him being easily tricked by others saying that some things are morally right when they are not. Need to sleep: His need to sleep is sometimes so powerful that he when he falls asleep that he can not be woken. He tends to be late do to over sleeping.
dreams ♦ Gabriel wants to be able to heal the one thing he was never able to, his mind.
fears ♦ Learning that he is like the man that made him.
overall personality ♦ In the simplest term, Gabriel is broken. Shattered into thousands of pieces and put back together in way that just one wrong misstep and he would be labeled a sociopath. The trauma he faced at such a young age has left him with no sense of what is right or what is wrong and no matter how hard he tries to understand/fix this, his mind just can't not grasp it. He tends to say whatever comes to mind, usually a morbid curiosity that scares those around him. This young, amoral boy tries his hardest to do what is right, but since he can not trust his own judgment, he relies on family, those around him, and his handy little personal phrase that he follows. With these methods, Gabriel has manage to become somewhat socially acceptable, though he still has moments where he acts in ways that are morally questionable. His past life has left him with a skewed sense of pain and pleasure. In Gabriel's mind, he feels pleasure from the pain that is inflicted on him. He has been twisted in such a way that he takes joy from what most would dread. This has inadvertently improved his control over his abilities as now when he takes on the injuries of others, the pain from it gives him enough happiness that he can heal himself almost immediately. He now finds a sick joy out of his gift and enjoys taking on new and interesting types of pain trying to find the one that would give him the most. In spite of the tragic upbringing, Gabe is still, in his own way, a kind soul. He wants to help others, he just goes about it in the wrong way. He tries to make things right but tends to make them worse as he doesn't know the proper way to handle other people. Deep within his soul, Gabriel is just a sweet boy who, despite all the tragedies he faced, wants to learn how to help others.

mother ♦ Amelia Oswyn, 32, Waitress

important people ♦ Gabriel's mother and two younger sisters.
hometown ♦ Austin, Texas
overall history ♦ The oldest of the Oswyn children, Gabriel was the product of his mother's first failed relationship. An unhealthy and abusive relationship where her only means of escape was to, unfortunately, leave in the middle of night abandoning her son to a life with a monster. Not caring for the boy, his father kept him and began to raise him to help take care of his workshop. Forced to only refer to the man as Sir, Gabriel was raised in what most consider to be hell on earth. Calling himself a Doctor, Sir was actually a back alley medic for the gangs of the city. In his little shop, Gabriel saw many horrors that no young child should see. Blood and violence were the two great teachers for young Gabe who never had any one care enough to teach him the morals of the world. As fate would have it, Gabriel's third teacher soon entered his life in the form of pain. When his gifts began to develop, it was a god send for Sir and nearly a death sentence for Gabe. Forced to heal the "patients" or be punished for disobeying, Gabriel's life became nothing but pain. Always pushed past his limits, Gabriel's body and mind had to develop in certain ways in order for him to survive. To do this, Gabe's mind had to recreate it self in way that he would feel joy and pleasure from pain. This allowed for him to heal those presented to him and soon enough, himself. The use of his gifts helped make his father the greatest Doctor for thugs and criminals. With the raise in popularity, the more work Gabe was put under. Through this devastating upbringing of pain and abuse, Sir broke Gabriel's mind and created a young, amoral boy that barely understands the world. Though full of hardship, this life has helped Gabe gain an unique understand of the human body and knowledge on healing it. Along side reading the few professional medical books Sir had, Gabriel developed a love for medicine and the act of healing others. Though broken, deep down a powerful want to help others was born through his gifts. At the age of 13, Gabriel's life shifted from back-alley deals to that of familial love. Unbeknownst to Gabriel, his mother never stopped caring for her son or stopped feeling guilty for having to leave him behind. Scraping by for thirteen years, Amelia finely saved enough to pay a seedy group to "save" Gabe. At first, Gabriel was a devil child for his mother, causing havoc for his poor unsuspecting mother. But luckily, Amelia had help reigning Gabe in through his two younger sisters. The two of them did everything they could to help teach Gabriel. They would be by his side and become his saving grace. His family taught Gabriel how to act around others and how to control his personal passions. They prepared him so that he could go out into public and be passable. The three greatest women in his life helped to bring out the gentle, caring soul that loves medicine and healing, they helped to reveal who Gabriel was meant to be if it wasn't for his father. The next two years were the greatest of Gabriel's life. Gaining a deep love for his sisters and all that they do for them, growing as a person, and learning that there is more to the world. Unfortunately, Gabriel realized that he could not go through life depending on his mother and sisters. Wanting to expand his own knowledge and to grow further as a person, Gabriel decided he needed to leave his new home and actually put himself among people. This led him Phalanx house were he feels he can heal.
