History
This section covers Gabriel's biographical history.

Beginnings
On a warm, sunny day during the former parts of spring, in the late fifth age, a family flocked, several men and women, most of them jet-black hair and lime-green eyes, outside a bedroom. A tall man, the same unkempt black hair and lime-green eyes as the rest, stood within the bedroom, holding the hand of a woman with black hair and brown eyes. She was draped in a tattered white bed sheet from the shoulders to her the end of her thighs. Her legs were spread out, knees drawn up, her bloated abdomen was clearly visible, sticking up from the rest of her petite body.

Amongst the waiting masses stood a girl, about eighteen, with orange eyes and dark brown hair and crimson streaks in the hair. She stood beside two kids, a girl and a boy, one about eight, the other was six. A few more kids stood about, each younger than the other two, except for one, who was about a year older than the other boy. There was an audible knocking at the door, only three firm thuds against the solid Oak doorframe before it could be heard. A man who looked rather similar to the fellow in the bedroom, and most notably was his brother, looking to be a younger version of the man with brown hair and a slowly forming beard, moved through the rest of the house towards the door. He lofted his hand and twisted the doorknob and pulled open the door.

He looked as if he saw a ghost; a man, looking to be in his late twenties stood outside, grinning from ear to ear. His facial features were slightly sharpened, very defined and well sculpted. His lime-green eyes were a slightly brighter shade than the rest there, his hair that was pulled back into a spiky ponytail was also a shade darker than the others. His frame was slender, and he was rather lanky, his expression remained cryptic.

Perched upon his shoulder was a cat, matching his features, with the black fur and green eyes undoubtedly mystically altered to match his master. The man holding the door stood, half-white, as if he had seen a ghost. The man before him was his great-grandfather.

"G-..Garrick?" Stuart inquired, it was all he was able to get out at the moment.

In response, the alleged Garrick offered a cheeky grin and a nod of his head. Without another word he stepped past Stuart and through the crowd within the small farmhouse. Those who looked around stared at him as he passed, Garrick offered naught but a smile to the family as he passed. Garrick opened the bedroom door and stepped inside, his gaze immediately flickering to the man and woman. "Richard, Niki! " He exclaimed, a jovial tone escaping his lips.

Richard, still holding his wife's hand smiled widely, his expression filled with both suprise and jubilation. "Grandpa Garrick!" He exclaimed in return, albeit rather quietly, he didn't want to nerve up Niki too much. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"It's good to see you again Richard, and, you wrote a letter, I had to come. The Institute can wait, and the Curator understands." Garrick's expression remained a grin, he approached Niki. "Hello dearest, how are you?"

"I'm-.. Ready." She replied to him, clearly in pain.

"I'm glad to hear that, well-.. Let's get to it then, shall we?" Garrick smiled to her, and then to Richard.

The rest of the family waited outside the room, after some yelling and screaming, and a few audible and calm "Pushes" coming from Garrick, all went silent. And only a few moments after, the sound of a new life could be heard, only a gentle cry, something you wouldn't excpect from a newborn. Then, silence fell again, it was a boy. Within another minute of screaming and yelling, it all fell silent, everyone was surprised to hear one, let alone two cries. This one cried for nearly ten minutes.

The group was relieved, Garrick opened the door and spread his arms out widely, away from his slender frame. He smiled, looking over the crowd, most matched his appearance in terms of hair and eyes, three had brown hair, and one of those brown haired people had amethyst eyes. Garrick smiled and nodded upon seeing this man before he returned his attention to the crowd. "Two healthy, beautiful, baby boys!" He exclaimed before gesturing to both Stuart and the amethyst eyed man. "Stuart! Gus! Come on in."

Stuart nodded and moved toward the room; Gus' head canted off to the side for a brief moment, the man was tall, almost Garrick's height, with a well-muscled frame, his brows rose and he sauntered towards the room, holding a stack of books, looking to be books of spells. He and Stuart entered the room, placing the books onto the floor and examining the kids.

"Well, hello there you two." Gus said, Garrick entered soon behind him, Gus finishing his statement, "I've brought gifts for you, Niki. I know you like Magic." Gus thought it best not to state he intended for her to teach her kids magic.

Niki smiled, holding Richard's firstborn in her arms and then looking up to Gus, "Thank you, Gaius, that's very sweet of you." She smirked to Gus, calling him by his first name before looking back to Richard, who held her other son. "What should we name them?" She asked, looking down to the boy, who was relatively clean in the cloth, his little arms reached up, his lime-green eyes staring up happily to her and reaching up. In a few moments, his lime-green eyes flashed amethyst and soon enough, the books and lighter items in the room were floating around them.

Richard's eyes widened, looking to the boy he was holding, and smiled. Garrick's brows rose, "Incredible. Much like my Uncle-.. Gabriel." He said, wondering who was doing this, but he looked to Niki, who's face held a half-surprised, half-amazed expression, thinking into the Everric's ancestry. "Gabriel." She said, "I'll name him Gabriel."

Richard held his smile and offered his reply, "Arkaevum-.. This one will be Arkaevum." <h3 class="MsoNormal">The Family

<p class="MsoNormal">Only about a year later, Connor was born, and the Everric continued the trend of having a child every year. The next child was Blaez, a mentally-off child. Another year and a half, Kennith Everric was born, and so on. Soon there came Melody and Griffen the next set of twins. The youngest of the full-siblings, Ravalan was born only a year after them. The last born was Alexis Everric, or Lexxi, who was a spontaneous and relatively annoying half-sibling, and the daughter of Niki. At the age of seven, Gabriel was sent to the Wizard's tower, alone. He excelled greatly in his studies before he returned home at about the age of thirteen under the guidance of Garrick. <p class="MsoNormal">One fateful morning, the Everric were on their farm between Lumbridge and Draynor, some of the eight kids were gone for whatever reason, a few remained, the father, Richard, the mother, Niki, their oldest son Gabriel, and a few of their other children, being Connor, Kennith and Lynette, due to recent events, the area was subject to Bandosian Patrols. The night before, one of the younger brothers, Kennith, had spotted a group of goblins patrolling about two hundred or so feet north of the farm. Gabriel looked out to where his brother was, spotting it as well, though they didn’t bother to tell their parents.

<p class="MsoNormal">The day before was quite eventful, the events including things such as busting open the roof, licking windmill grinders, throwing each other through windows, helping out random strangers, and acts of incest being performed by their mother, Niki. After Richard had arrived home, Gabriel was informed by Lynette about the heinous acts that their mother had performed, which subsequently ended up in Gabe telling Richard about the incestuous acts, after all this and helping out a wounded woman with dark cobalt eyes. The events left Connor, already the loner and rebel of the family as a scarred child. Gabriel and Arkaevum, the twin brothers, and some of the oldest of the family tried to keep the house in order while their parents were gone. Soon enough, as both parents had left for their different reasons, the kids were visited by their Uncle Stu, who talked to them about the various situations in their lives, and spent the night as well. Stu slipped out early in the morning to see how the renovations were coming on his own house.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next morning, Niki and Richard ended up getting into an argument, mostly about Niki’s violation of the children, amongst other things. As the two strangers had also been within the house, they exited with Gabriel, Connor and Kennith. They argued all over the house, throwing things and what not until they went outside, a large group of rogue Bandosians was making their way down to the farm with a group of about ten Goblins, five Orks, two Ogres and one Bandosian Warpriest and Ambusher behind him, a small army. Niki, who had been charging an earth spell, impaled the Goblins with sharp rocks, while Richard fought off some of the Ork’s killing a few, leaving him tired. This wasn’t before some of the Goblin’s loosed some flaming arrows at the house, bringing down the wooden foundation with relative ease.

<p class="MsoNormal">The eldest child, the half-sibling to the others, Lynette had trapped herself within a thin layer of rock, having taken after her mother, this was a mistake, as it could have cooked her alive. After the forces had been thinned out, with some help from little Kennith and his bow, most of the remaining soldiers were dead, save for the two Ogres, the Ambusher and the Warpriest. Gabriel grabbed one of the younger brothers, Griffin and carried him to Draynor, with the rest of the family, and the strangers.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Warpriest had made his way up to Richard’s position behind the Ogre’s, who had scooted past Richard, as Richard attempted to stop one of the big ones. The Warpriest took this opportunity to stab Richard in the left shoulder, who cried out in pain as he fell onto his back, being knocked over by the combined force of the Ogre’s sheer moving weight and the sword stabbing into his shoulder. Richard made an effort to stab at the Priest, who simply knocked the sword away with his foot, thrusting his left sword into his chest, and pierced his heart.

<p class="MsoNormal">As the Priest’s blade had pierced Richard’s heart, the Priest spoke to him and said, “Your family will fall as quickly as you.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Richard looked back; his green eyes glazed, blood coming out of his mouth and nose as he coughed his last words, “You don’t know my family.” With that Richard Everric breathed his last breath.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Bandosian Warpriest called back his remaining forces, leaving the carnage of dead Orks and Goblins to rot, far exceeding the stench of when they were alive and grunting.

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, inside the house, Niki was looking for the unconscious Lynette, who was still trapped inside her thin layer of stone. The stone had protected her from the searing flames, but not without cost. During this, Niki was sacrificing her own well-being, the flames searing at her skin, burning it off, as the beams and foundations of the house collapsed upon itself simultaneously, and she was subsequently crushed by the beams, and burned to death, her remains lost in the rubble, the house being burnt to a crisp.

<p class="MsoNormal">The four brothers who were there returned, Gabriel, Connor, Kennith, and Griffin returned to the wreckage, looking over the dead Goblins, and Richard’s dead body in sadness. Connor headed over to see if Lynette was okay, treading lightly over Niki’s remains, though not shying away from kicking her skull aside coldly. Connor had no love left for his mother, due to her violation of him the day before. He broke through the thin rock shell, which had almost served as an oven for Lynette, and took her out, bringing her out to their brothers. Gabriel held onto his father’s head, and Griffin took his father’s sword, as Gabriel already had one.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gabriel kissed his father’s head, before speaking to his brothers on the burial, and three out of four had come to a consensus, as the strangers had come to offer their condolences. Connor left to go back to the village, as he saw no reason to bury their father. They buried him, the boys cried over their father’s grave as the abused neighbor boy, Wade came to see what had happened, looking over the group.

<p class="MsoNormal">Wade asked the group where the ones who had done this had gone to, Gabe, still mourning replied sarcastically, “What are you going to do?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Wade looked back and replied sarcastically, “I’m going to throw them a tea party! What do you think I’m gonna do?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Gabe looked back to him and replied, “Shut up. Your parents never loved you.”

<p class="MsoNormal">This made Wade draw his bow and train it upon Gabe, who replied by drawing his sword. A little neighbor girl by the name of Nyuu, who had been hiding in the tree, jumped onto Wade’s shoulder, knocking him slightly off balance, and Gabe rushed in, over his father’s grave, jumping onto the well, and using it as leverage to sink his blade into Wade’s shoulder. Wade backed up, getting cut by it as well, as he tried to reach for his dagger, but found as Gabe had landed, he lunged forward with his left knee and knocked him into the tree, hitting his head and dazing him a bit. Gabe then brought the hilt of his sword to the back part of Wade’s jaw, knocking him out.

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor returned, coming to tell them about the house that they had found in Draynor. This house actually belonged to a member of the Cut Assassins, Matt Bowie, one of the most prominent members. Gabriel handed the unconscious Wade to Connor, and asked him to bring him back to the house they had found. Wade had been dropped at the crossroads outside of Draynor, and left there. The scene truly ends with Matt sitting over his parent's grave, swearing vengeance on the Bandosians that had killed them. Gabriel went off to look for his twin, Arkaevum, the youngest brother and sibling, Ravalan and of course Melody, the mentally unstable younger daughter.

<p class="MsoNormal">Matt exited the illustrious Usual Spot, walking not too far to see that there was an influx of children in the area, around his house. He walked up and spoke to Connor about the house that the children had taken for themselves, as it was the one he had for himself. He told them that they could stay there, giving Connor the key to the house and disappearing into the shadows. This would begin the new story for the Everric family, leaving an unsure fate for them, and their fates to the cold, cruel reality that is Gielinor.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">A New Day Gabriel has been doing a little bit of travelling, making his way over to Al Kharid, practicing his free-running and parkour skills, something that he had gotten quite good at over the years. He took a brisk jog merely to keep up his cardio, as he knew excercise was something essential to health family, leaving his father's old clothing in his backpack, and donning a new set, though not letting go of the clothing as he loved it.

The kids have now moved to Varrock, stealing the 'Cut Mobile' and are living in one of the slum houses, it has more room than the house that Matt had provided for them, so they appreciate it very much, and they have begun to repair it, making it look a bit nicer, as it was now cold and winter time as they had reached the area. Gabe has begun to watch over the other kids, even Wade at times.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">Arkaevum ran away to Al Kharid, being trained for about a month straight with the Ali's. He was trained to be quite proficient in Air Magic. Kennith, Gabe, Lynette and Wade travelled to the site of the Battle of Lumbridge, aweing at Saradomin's pedestal. They looked at the divine tear pool, in which Lynette threw a few fish, which happened to be their dinner that Wade had fought hard for, and they ended up fishing them out with Gabriel's sword. They soon scaled the large scaffolding which held the guards of Saradomin's battlefield, looking over the site of the snow covered carnage.

Soon after this the family left to go to Varrock, stealing the 'Cut Mobile' in the prcoess, and promising to give it back with a note addressed to Mr. Bowie and their Uncle. The kids ended up going to Varrock, and Kennith asked Gabe to teach him how to freerun, running and jumping from building to building with great skill, Kennith learned quickly as well.

Gabriel then left again to Al Kharid, still wondering where his brother had run off to. He moved along the course that he and his brother had established, sliding down an awning, before finally reaching a group of planks that were close together that they'd look at. He saw two people there, recognizing one was his twin brother, Ark. Ark heard his name, and Gabriel had crossed the planks. They wondered what was going on, and Gabe pulled a stunt where he fell off the roof as Ark was performing his final test for the Ali's. He was caught by a ball of air, which slowed his fall. Ark then was gifted a diamond necklace by Master Ali, who then floated off humorously. To which, they returned to Varrock, and settled in for a short while.

Soon they were found by their Uncle Stuart once more, who then proceeded to offer to adopt them. This happened, Amber, one of their friends, being adopted as well as Wade. Uncle Stuart left for a moment to retrieve his two carriages to get them, as Melody arrived and showed her bucket of flowers, leaving again. Melody then left, and was replaced by her not-so-imaginary friend Roger, who was more or less, a pedophile, and a very large black male.

By this time Uncle Stuart had returned and Roger began to threaten him. After Roger had made a threat on Melody's life, Arkaevum and Gabriel both readied themselves for combat. Arkaevum punched him with his spiked gloves, while Gabe stabbed him in the spine and twisted it. Ark then followed up by shooting a Wind Surge at him.

This ended the conflict swiftly as they soon moved to the mansion with their Uncle. Which was probably for the best, Melody revelling in Roger's death. They reached the mansion, and a few questionable events had happened, though the most prominent in Gabriel's actions, was him climbing the roof, using water magic for non combat things, and climbing the roof of the mansion.

The Windblade
During first year, Gabriel began siphoning energy from the rift in the Lumbridge Swamp, doing enough of so to attract the attention of two very powerful demons, who have likely achieved the levels of power of what those have called Devils. Malphos sent his followers, the Windblade, to investigate whether this one was a Jinchuriki, or not. The Windblade quickly arrived, shaking their heads

Their leader, Xenus noticed his ability, and assured him a future spot in the Windblade, as well as protection by Malphos should he pledge himself to service in the near future. Upon the  With this, the Devil, Dagon, made his way into the area, by the form of a human. He smiled warmly, speaking to them in a calm, condescending manner. In a few moments and a flash of light he captured the Windblades Auditor and Orator along with Gabriel. He challenged the group of three to a duel whilst he was in this human form.

The three fought hard against Dagon, with Xenus using what he learned from Malphos as help, and Garrett keeping him occupied while Gabriel pelted Dagon's forcefields with spells. Each and every moment seemed to make the group tire faster, and after about what seemed to be days, they collapsed from exhaustion. Dagon laughed at this, smiling as he lifted the three into the air, "I'm happy to see you three enjoyed my game."

Gabriel, being the only one of the three who were conscious at the time panted heavily. He shook his head as he looked to the demon, still floating in the air helplessly, "What do you want from me? I've done nothing wrong here."

"You're quite a powerful boy, tell me your name-.. and the names of your friends, hmm?" Dagon inquired lightly, he was not all seeing, the question flowed out with the utmost sincerity.

"Gabriel Everric. I don't know the names of the other two." Gabriel responded coldly, despite the circumstances. It seemed he didn't care much for his own well-being.

"How defiant-... No matter. Since you've played my game, I've only the choice to grant you all with great power. My eyes." Dagon revealed his eyes with the Ripple Pattern and silver corneas. "The consequence is that your fatal flaw, and whatever hurts you the most will become most evident. You will know Pain."

Gabriel took on the alias of Pain, serving alongside the Windblade and found himself being involved with several different conflicts throughout the world, most of them was just Gabriel using his incisive wit to assassinate and cause terror throughout the world alongside the Windblade. After a while, he found his way home, and began a semi-normal, vigilante life.

After the return of Connor to the house after being with a rogue faction of the Kinshra for a short time, a bit of disaster happened. Wade and Connor got into an argument, it ended in Wade shooting Connor in the leg. Gabriel and Connor chased off Wade, Gabriel doing so reluctantly after Wade had insulted Connor and then shot him in the leg.

They continued their chase of him, Wade getting away on some steed that he had stolen. But, his days have taken a turn for the better as he has now established a relationship-thing with a neighbor girl, Mia Vere, as he has gained quite an interest in her, and have begun working on the house together.

They've entered an official relationship, and spend quite some time together, though Gabriel does take much time to travel during the nights that she isn't staying with him to gallavant as Pain. And, the whole deal with the Windblade had only lasted for about six months, He and Mia experienced a breakup after a few difficulties in their relationship. After this, Xenus, aka Lyruil Iorwerth released him from his service.



Yanille- Family Reuninon
Gabriel, like his brother Arkaevum, left home to find himself. However, unlike Ark, Gabriel left due to being consumed by his own inner darkness, the encounter with his father's ghost had seemed to have changed him for the better.

Gabriel has become much more headstrong and charismatic, making a trip halfway across the continent. Gabriel began training magic more and more often, until it became quite the habit, during this time, he had made a trip to Yanille.

Gabriel, not long after his fifteenth birthday, arrived to the city of Yanille during the middle of the day. His gaze flickered about, the city was marvelous, like any other University town, it was no different. The streets were filled with people from all throughout, most of them human.

Gabriel's gaze came to rest upon one of the largest establishments, the Aren Arcane Institute. The Institute's renown throughout the lands was nothing short of legendary, and so was its founding family, the Arens. It was here, for the first time that Gabriel spotted a man with a long, white beard and an emerald eye for the first time.

He watched the man as he talked about, and smiled, knowing full-well this had to be the one and only Aranitus Aren. Aranitus, at this time, was Gabriel's inspiration, and hero. Gabriel ran a hand through his jet-black hair, his lime-green gaze flickering through the streets and the crowds. He found himself looking around once more before making his way to the Institute. Gabriel hadn't been paying much attention, or so he thought, and he bumped into a man, tall, slender and wearing ornate black, red and gold robes, similarly to Aranitus. The man's hair, however was jet-black and pulled into a spiky pony-tail.

His his eyes were a bright lime-green, matching that of Gabriel. The few critical differences were the man's very defined, sharpened facial features, pointed, human-sized ears and the appearance of his age, which the man only looked to be in his late twenties. The men beside him also looked to be near the same age, one of them stood there with a full beard, but short hair, the same lime-green eyes and jet-black hair, and black and red striped robes. He held a friendly expression, it was one of seeing an old family member or friend that one hasn't seen in a while, his height was similar.

The man to the other side of the pointed-eared man appeared to be in his early twenties, he had his hand resting on the pommel of his curved sword, with a friendly smile held upon his features, his brown robes flowing gently. His eyes were the same colour as the rest of the group here, and his hair was the same jet-black, he was about the same height as Gabriel, that being 6'0", maybe even an inch shorter.

Gabriel shook his head, inclining his gaze to the man in the middle of the trio. "Apologies, I didn't mean to-.."

"Hello, my dear boy." The man with the black and red robes smiled, his expression had not changed.

"Hello-.. I did-.." Gabriel paused again, he was interrupted by the interjection of the man in the center.

"Gabriel, is it?" The pointed-eared man spoke to him, it was at this time that Gabriel realized that they had to be family.

"Yes, how did you know?" Gabriel inquired, his brows rising, this had only confirmed his suspicions.

"You're my great-great grandson. And his great-great-great grandson. I am Garrick, that's Michael and that is Robert." Garrick smiled before gesturing to the man in the striped robes and then the man in the brown robes, each sparing a nod as Gabriel's gaze flickered to the respective person. "Robert is a second cousin to you, just about."

"But-.. How did you know my name?" Gabriel inquired, family or not, he didn't quite get to see these people very much, however, he knew well of others such as Allannah, Evelynn, John, Janelle and Eden's other children.

"We were all there for your birth, I suggested the name." Garrick said, his gaze flickering between Robert and Michael.

Gabriel nodded lightly, and he began asking questions on how to get into the Aren Arcane Institute, all he wanted to do was learn at this time. After an hour long conversation, and a tour of the Institute, Gabriel smiled and then Garrick looked at the young man. Over dinner, they discussed what Gabriel's plans were, and Garrick, Michael and Robert all gave their suggestions, most of it leading up to a conclusion for him to be sent to Aspera Academy.

Not too long into the dinner, a woman burst through the doors, her long, wavy hair was jet-black, her eyes the same lime-green as the rest of the group here. Gabriel recognized her almost instantaneously, and she seemd to as well. She grinned from ear to ear, running up to him. "Gabriel! It's so good to see you." She said as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"Aunt Eden, I didn't expect to see you here." He said, returning the gesture before pulling back and looking her in the eyes.

"You're so tall now." Eden smiled, her gaze flickering over to her brother, Robert and then to Garrick and Michael. "So, I have news. I'm taking Allannah and Janelle out of of Aspera before Allannah reaches eighteen."

"So they're in Aspera now as well?" Gabriel inquired, his own gaze flickered between the other four.

"They've been training there since about ten now, Gabriel. They're about your age now." Eden smirked, she was still surprised to see that little Gabriel was so tall now.

After a few more hours of conversation, the four others began to pack items, provisions, rations and clothing for Gabriel's enrollment into Aspera. Garrick needed only to make a few calls, and Gabriel was in Aspera, chuckling ever so gently. Within a few days, Gabriel was teleported off to Aspera, almost five years later than most Aren students and others.

Aspera Days
Gabriel arrived at Aspera, eyeing the campus with a smile. It was here that Gabriel began his studies in the four schools of the Ancients, blood, shadow, smoke and ice. Gabriel's favorite school of the four was blood, he saw it rather fun, as he learned how to control blood in many different ways, using it for combative and non-combative methods.

It was also here that Gabriel met Garth Aren, and in the first year, Garth became Gabriel's mentor, teaching him a few secrets that others would not learn, as the Arens held more influence. He showed Gabriel how to utilize blood and shadow magick as weapons, whips and chains.

Year One
Gabriel was glad to see his cousins, Allannah and Janelle at the Academy, they became close once more, sharing in their studies of the different schools of Magicks that they learned there. Gabriel became friends with Janelle and Allannah's friends and for the most part, these friends were girls.

After about a year, Gabriel had stuck to focusing more on his studies than maintaining healthy relationships, but still he managed to keep them. His avarice, mostly in the form of a thirst for knowledge, came to light, and Gabriel yearned to learn more and more. The others seemed a bit concerned about him, and a few months before his sixteenth birthday and after, Gabriel had become almost completely reclusive.

One night, after a day of hard studies, Gabriel was fast asleep in his bed, a book lay on his bare chest. Gabriel awoke abruptly in the middle of the night, as if awakened by some blood-curdling scream, an alarm or a bad dream. His heart was racing, pounding against his chest, his eyes glowing a bright green. He sprang from the bed and onto his feet, his hands charging with a green aura. After a few minutes of looking around, he realized there was no threat nearby.

He took in a deep breath, exhaling and then approaching the window and standing on the balcony. He looked southward, this was where he wanted to go, to explore Port Sarim, even though it was the middle of the night and knowing full-well that the Journey would take some time. The now sixteen year old chuckled, moving away from the balcony as he began to dress himself properly in some black and red robes that he had purchased during his stay at Aspera. He packed the necessary provisions, rations and changes of clothing that he needed and then placed the pack onto his back.

He approached the balcony, looking down at the drop; it was about eighty or so feet down. Gabriel shook his head once before he took in a deep breath, his eyes glowing amethyst, his hands taking on the same gentle glow. After a few moments, Gabriel released his spell and placed his hands upon the short fence of the balcony. In a flash of light, runic sigils began to flow out into the night, forming what looked to be a staircase on either side of the balcony. Gabriel climbed onto them, quickly and carefully, he descended them and reached the ground in what seemed to be about a minute flat.

He made his way on down to Port Sarim, travelling southward and reaching it in a few days, passing by a few different places, and resting where he could. Finally, one night, Gabriel reached Port Sarim, nearing the outskirts and the forests, he saw a series of lights, lighting up the night sky from the ground. They were campfires, surrounded by a group of mages, knights and soldiers. The knights' armour seemed to be shined, polished and pristine, only a few scratches kept them from being completely immaculate as if the armour was made completely from silver.

The group seemed to consist of about fifteen men at arms, wearing blue surcoats with a four pointed golden star in the center, five knights and ten clerics, all wearing blue robes with a saradomin symbol. A wizard with blonde hair and silver eyes stared out into the distance, he seemed to be the leader. Gabriel watched as he approached the knights, he walked straight up to a bald man and they appeared to be having a friendly conversation.

It was in a few moments that Gabriel heard yelling, the words were mostly inaudble, or indiscernible. He shook his head before turning away and walkin off, only to run into a man who had snuck up behind him while Gabriel was distracted. The man was about Gabriel's height, and so were his comrades, they all wore the same armour as the knights in the camp. They siezed Gabriel and brought him to their camp, where the mage and the bald man still argued.

Gabriel was literally being carried, and he was unable to do much as there was a group of five men holding him back. The mage looked him up and down, mostly examining Gabriel's lime-green eyes and his jet-black hair. He smirked, his gaze shifting over to the bald man. "Well, look what we have here, Badouin, a little Aspera mage, and an Everric no less."

"An Everric-.. Those mages and farmers? What a surprise, Amaund." Badouin inquired, it was clear that the man wasn't a very intelligent individual, and Gabriel registered that almost immediately.

Gabriel's aura flared up, almost breaking free of the grip of the knights before being restrained again. "What do you know of my family?" He said angrily.

Amaund, the head of the group, chuckled again, looking over Gabriel once more. "Little Everric, old family ties will be your doom." Amaund gestured for the men to follow them. "Come now, extinguish your campfires, we're going back to base."

Before he knew it, Gabriel was knocked out and brought to their base, which was a new outcrop of the Port Sarim dungeon created by this group. Gabriel awoke, he was in a very large room, chained up, an intense pain rang in his back and throughout his body. His clothes were off, blood dripped down his back from the first contact.

Gabriel cried out in pain, the crack of a  whip could be heard in unison with his cries. Another crack of a whip could be heard, Gabriel bit his lip till he bled, breathing heavily as he tried not to cry out. After about thirteen more lashes, it was over, and Gabriel was bleeding heavily, the blood ran down his back, it began to pool under his feet. The Silver Knights and the men at arms gathered around him, Badouin held the whip in his hand.

"How are you feeling, Everric?" Badouin smirked as he walked next to Gabriel, cleaning the whip of his blood. "Come on, cat got your tongue?" Badouin chortled briefly before continuing to throw banter at Gabriel, before pulling out a small knife. He began to cut random little wounds in Gabriel's torso, none of only bits and pieces that he knew would eventually scar over.

Gabriel didn't even listen, his body slumped in his chains, he felt hopeless, alone. Was this the end? Was his avarice and his thirst for more going to get him killed here? No. He wouldn't accept it; His muscles tensed up, his aura flared up exponentially. He drew his arms closer to his body, making the chains snap taut. Before anyone knew it, Gabriel called out to Amaund, his hand extending toward Badouin and the knife, Badouin was only mere inches away from his face at this point.

Blood ran up from Gabriel's back and into his hand, he exended the hand full of blood and drew upon Badouin's face, running blood from his forehead and up his cheek. Gabriel then cried out, his other arm extending from the chains, a small explosive force being felt as the chains from that arm broke and he took hold of Badouin's bald head.

"My life-.. Is not for your taking." He whispered in Badouin's ear before Gabriel spread his right hand away from his body. A giant wave of kinetic energy was released into the air, taking out the knights and soldiers who had begun to charge out towards him.

In a few moments, all but Badouin were against the walls of the cavern, their armour and clothing in shreds as they lay unmoving, dead. Gabriel's chains and all that were holding him were gone from his wrists and he stood over Badouin. "What is your name?" Gabriel said, his eyes glowing a bright green, rage coursing through him as if it were intravenous.

"B-..Badouin Silverkin." Badouin was nearly speechless, he was in disbelief from what he had just witnessed, he was visibly and clearly in fear for his life.

"Who were these people with you, and where is the mage?" Gabriel inquired, squeezing upon Badouin's head, the blood that had pooled at his feet and from the dead soldiers and knights conformed to Gabriel's hand, ironically forming a a whip.

"My Silver Knights-... And Silverkin Men-at-Arms. The mage is Amaund, my brother." Badouin said, he still held the knife in his hand, bringing it up to attempt at a stab to Gabriel's immediate left side. Gabriel had been watching this, enough room had been extended, and he sent a law magic repulse at Badouin's head, sending him backwards and spinning. He was stopped abruptly in the air, Gabriel kept a hold of him, pulling his hand back and then bringing Badouin back to him, leaving him about ten feet away. Gabriel's right hand held the whip, and it was held backwards.

The blood solidified, and it seemed to be held into an extremely high pressure. Gabriel lashed his arm out, sending the blood whip at Badouins neck. The lash, instead of what one would expect, did not wrap around his neck, but completely decapitated him. Badouin's disembodied head remained floating along with his body, blood poured from the man's neck.

Gabriel dropped to his knees, breathing heavily still as he began to pull some blood to his wounds, aiming to replace some of the blood he lost and heal some of the wounds he had acquired slightly. In a few moments, Badouin's body and head dropped separately. This slowly happened, Gabriel's energy was insufficient, his strength, however was slowly returning. Before he knew it, the group of clerics returned, all all of their wands and staves charged with energy, they poured into the room.

Gabriel stood weakly, his arms swaying at his sides, he had already used far too much energy. The Silverkin Clerics surrounded him,Amaund circled around Gabriel. "You've got some determination, little Everric." He said, lifting his hand into the air, a command for his men to take him out. Gabriel prepared himself, charging quickly and raising the blood in his defense. After a few moments, it looked as if the Silverkin Clerics were about to release their spells, but, shadows came from the ground and began crawling up the forms of all the mages but Gabriel and Amaund.

Amaund watched in horror as his men yelped out, their bodies being literally burned away by the shadows, and in a few moments the shadows sunk into the ground, leaving nothing of them. Another man stepped into the room, coal-black hair and emerald eyes were his most distinguishable traits. He wore a red robetop with black pant legs. "Now now-.. eleven on one isn't very fair, is it?" Garth Aren smiled, looking to Gabriel and then to Amaund.

"You-.. Aren." Amaund said, he took out a teleport tablet and held it in front of his chest. Gabriel saw this, exending his hand once, sending a telekinetic repulse at Amaund's hand, sending the teleport tablet at Amaund's chest. Subsequently, with the force, it cracked and it opened a rift into the abyss in the man's chest. Amaund yelped out, flesh, blood and bone being pulled into this rift, Garth only watched in relative horror as he saw Amaund's life torn away in such a cruel way.

"Garth-.." Gabriel said weakly, smiling as his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed onto his back. Garth quickly walked quickly over to Gabriel.

"Crazy fool." Garth said, bending over Gabriel's body and taking control of the blood that had pooled, aiming to close the wounds in whatever way he could. It didn't have too much effect, and he sighed, there were still gaping wounds left by the lashings on Gabriel's back, and a knot on the back of his head from when he had been knocked unconscious the first time. Garth lofted his hand into the air and returned to Aspera.

Gabriel awoke a few days later, Allannah and Janelle stood over him, his entire torso was bandaged up, his body was completely clean and free of blood. "I-..What happened?" Gabriel said warily, searching about for any enemies or Garth. Garth stood at the corner of the room, his arms folded as he smiled.

"You were captured after you snuck out, Garth found you." Allannah said, her gaze flickering to her sister and then to Garth.

Gabriel sat up, he remembered what had happened. Garth had only told Allannah and Janelle what happened when he arrived, he was slightly awed and dumbfounded by Gabriel's abilities. "You're quite the lucky one, you lost a lot of blood." Garth chuckled, and they began to speak a bit more, Gabriel only revealing the minimum of what had happened, as he was rather ashamed of it.

Bloodlines
Adrianne disappeared, Gabriel presuming her dead, and sending him into another state of seclusion and studying and Divining for the next year, until his birthday.

Gabriel had begun his studies in Divination almost a year before he opted to continue his training of the other schools again after a year of divination studies. Within the study of the Mansion, where Gabriel spent most of his time when he wasn't out, he found a dusty old tome, which was actually the history of the Everric. It was written in the language of Infernus, and the text was encoded as well. It took Gabriel about a day to decode the first few pages, which was all he needed to see. It revealed to him that Flavia and Ariston Everric, the progenitors of their family had been sealed away. This book also gave a short biography of both, still it was unknown who wrote this text.

Gabriel met in the Jolly Boar with Arkaevum, Kennith and Griffen, he explained to them about this quest. He explained the whole idea to Ark, Kennith and Griffen. Griffen relayed some information that Augustus had told him via telepathy, and they set off to begin their recruitment. With this, Gabriel began travelling the world, firstly recruiting Isla Grey and Hannibal Moreau. The next recruiting was Daniil, a mercenary, by the visit of the Everric's elder cousin, Evelynn Everric. Soon, Gabriel met up with Wade Pierce, whom he recruited, and soon after was met by his old flame, Amber Derikson.

They reconnected after a short conversation, to which, he was happy to find she still had some sort of feelings for him, if only noting this through body language. He gave her a flower before he headed off, returning shortly after he tucked little Ravalan into bed, with Ravalan following him back again. After a short confrontation with a tall Kharidian fellow, whom Ravalan kept threatening, Gabriel shook is head slightly, prepared to kill the man if he needed, as he hadn't lost the edge yet.

The Kharidian fellow seemed to enter a trance-like state, walking off, Gabriel then took Ravalan to leave and nearby to the woods of the Mansion, Gabriel began teaching Ravalan fire magic, giving him his wand as well. After teaching him some focus, Ravalan again started a confrontation, this time with Wade Pierce,  Arkaevum arriving soon after. Wade responded by shooting Ravalan in the shoulder with his crossbow, Wade feeling bad and offering his help. Gabriel and Arkaevum, both enraged by this, told Wade to leave.

Wade tried to approach Ravalan, pulling out his first aid kit, to which Ravalan continued to scoot back, Gabriel himself raising roots from the ground to make a barricade between Wade and Ravalan, his anger barely keeping contained. Arkaevum also told Wade to leave, preparing for combat if he did not. Soon, Griffen Everric approached while Wade was leaving, Griffen standing at about 5'6", being slightly lanky, and a powerful mage by this point.

The latest recruit was Julie, a bartender that he, Arkaevum and Ravalan met in the Taverley Bar in Anglia. They talked about joining, Gabriel showing off some of his abilities after Arkaevum had left. Ravalan left to go go some things, and then Julie showed Gabriel this scar, evidencing his way with women, a few days later, along with Arkaevum and Ravalan, they returned to their home.

Gabriel's next view in the public was in Falador bar, where he met many strange creatures and characters to boot. His most interesting were the group of "Atronachs" that had made their way into the bar, all claiming to be subservient to the Great Lord Zaros, and the General Nex. To which, Gabriel took his knowledge of the Old Language, and made a mockery of it, saying "General Death" instead of Nex, due to the mixing of languages.

He befriended both Abraham the Wildman, and a semi-enigmatic figure known as the Traveller. Together, they had some strange conversations, exchanging stories, ideas, mostly on the topics of those before, as well as diverting and speaking about hobo's, Vyre and other creatures, Wildman becoming very confused on the whole ordeal.

After a good long conversation, Gabriel strolled out after a call from his twin, Arkaevum. Arkaevum had a strange feeling to call him, and soon Gabriel joined him just south of Yanille, where he fought an Ogre. Gabriel himself took to examining both an Elder and a Crystal tree, after a short skirmish, Gabriel taking down Ark in a single hit, showing his significant wit in combat compared to his brother, even while Arkaevum was faster and stronger, Gabriel knew where to hit where it hurt.

Soon, they took the Ogre, which Arkaevum had just killed, back to their house to have a spit-roast with it. Gabriel and Arkaevum dealt with the Ogre, Wade simply watching and patronizing due to the fact of them cooking an Ogre. After a short while, Julie made her presence known, as she had been sleeping in one of the extra rooms. The two made a short conversation before they came back to the kitchen where Gabriel and Arkaevum hummed and then sang an old Everric Lullaby, one of the few things that had been passed down through the ages. Julie, being in reality, Celestia, the wife of their ancestors, who had been sealed away, recognized it, but was unknowing that it was an Everric Lullaby, and mistaked it for something common.

Gabriel found his ability to use telepathy, a hereditary trait, Arkaevum finding it as well after they once again had to chase off Wade Pierce due to Arkaevum's anger. Gabriel only telling Wade to leave for his own safety in the matter. After a short speech, Arkaevum found himself flipping the table, and then shooting air magic at Gabriel, to which dodged, and then sent water forth. After he sent it forth, Arkaevum was pushed into the sink and trapped in ice.

Soon after, Gabriel trapped him in a prison of rock, and they spoke again, soon after Gabriel teleported them both to Oo'glog, to which Gabriel freed him, and Arkaevum left in defeat, teleporting off to Pollnivneach to contemplate suicide and then travel the world.

Gabriel found himself speaking to Ravalan and then to Ariston, who had revealed himself after an encounter with Arkaevum, through the use of telepathy, he aimed to speak with all of them. He has only spoken, however to Gabriel, Arkaevum and Ravalan.

The Sins of Our Fathers
Gabriel found himself within Varrock during the time of the attack, keeping watch over the house of Garrett Praven and Caelestis Grey, simply as a favor to Garrett as he set off to find her. He was pleasantly surprised to find Paula Rovin knocking upon his door, to which he seemed to have fallen for almost immediately. Despite this, Gabriel kept his cool. After all this, he saw the urgency which with they were operating with, and he simply listened to what the Guard woman who was with Paula had to say. And after that, they ended up packing a few bags, Gabriel finding the proper provisions and filling the bags with rations and other things that might have been necessary.

After some travelling throughout the sewers, Gabriel found himself still admiring Paula, for her strength, and her resolve, not to mention her looks. He simply carried on through the tunnels, not lingering far behind her and keeping by her side throughout most of the journey. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Wade was still alright, and he smiled before they looked around more. Wade went off to scout, and the guard went off to help the others, leaving Gabriel and Paula mostly alone to talk. Afterward, they spoke on weaponry, and he showed her the crystal dagger, which he had formed himself only a few nights before.

She smiled, but commented on how it would likely be useless against a Vyre, and she proceeded to bless it, and they spoke a little about parenting, and some past, though it was a very uncomfortable subject for them both, and that soon passed. In a few brief moments, they moved onto the subject of magic, to which, they were both quite fond of.

After a short time, Wade reappeared, Paula going off to sleep. Wade and Gabriel had a conversation, Wade revealing that his father had died via a letter that Gabriel read out for him. Gabriel simply nodded, only slightly saddened, but glad to hear that Wade didn't care too much himself.

Another night and Paula and Gabriel were left alone again to speak. Gabriel gave a message nonchalantly through telepathy, commenting on Paula's beauty, but, in the stressful situation coupled with aspects of her past she wouldn't reveal, she couldn't think of it at the moment, and wanted to get out and do their patrol.

Gabriel continued to aid with the resistance, meeting several new people to him, Captain Magnus, Arthfael Olivriar and a Mage named Victor, whom had been tithed, as well as Icriulis. After retrieving Malthael, a half-werewolf, and bringing him back with Paula, Gabriel went for a casual stroll alongside Victor and Wade. They travelled to the Blue Moon in silence, only to find it in shambles from a fight only three days before.

After a brief conversation, they travelled to the basement of the bar and retrieved some proper weaponry from glass cases, as well as a crate of fresh mixed fruits and vegetables. Upon reaching the surface once more, Gabriel saw that Amber Derikson, who was now a Zamorakian and a Vampyric Sympathizer. Victor teleported off, Gabriel, Wade and Amber travelled back into the sewers. Gabriel seemed a little conflicted, due to being with both Paula, and his old flame.

Still, after a brief debate between Wade, Amber and Icriulis as well as another woman, he shook his head and knew he had to check on his family. Much to his own surprise and chagrin, he found that his twin was back, convulsing in pain in the bed, as he had struck a deal with Malphos. Julie stood over Ark, as she had built up some feelings for him, and they were reciprocated. Gabriel reveale his past history with Malphos before teleporting off and calling upon Garrick Everric, their great-great grandfather, who fixed Ark's problem.

Gabriel himself teleported to Yanille to find aid from the Aren Arcane Institute, allowing Garrick to take care of it when he came back. Gabriel found himself returning to Varrock, glad to be back alongside the resistance, despite the risks. Along with this, he returned to the Blue Moon for more supplies, meeting with Daniil and his group, who were casually hiding from the Vyres.

Bloodlines: Pieces of the Past
Gabriel left the sewers, knowing he'd have to return at some point soon, but he decided his quest to continue onward to Yanille would be best, searching for more relatives of his. He found himself south of Oo'glog, only to live his more adventurous side. He entered a small hut, seeming to have been protected from the ages. He smiled, finding a book titled "A Zarosian's Guide to Dominating the Bedroom", by Ariston Everric. He smiled, his eyes flashed a mystical purple as he began reliving the memories of his ancestors. This memory, Gabriel decided to title it in his memory logs, "Drowning in Pussy" as he was reliving the memory of Celestia Longford and Razmael Everric. Noting the sequence, he recognized her uncanny resemblance to Julie.

Gabriel found the memory viewing interrupted by Wade and his daughter, Kali, whom, to all effect was his niece, and Wade his brother. He shook it off, the memory ending soon enough, and he began a brief conversation with his niece and Wade, getting to know her a little bit better. Wade soon strut off as Gabriel explained the family roots, and after a while, Gabriel led Kali to Wade, wherever he may have been. He then travelled into the city of Yanille. This way, he finally met up with Samantha Leotrun, one of the main pieces of the past. They shared a long conversation on what had been going on before departing to go their separate ways.

Gabriel remained in Yanille meeting with Driez and Lenea Renderra, soon after meeting little Aeson and Ravalan and Wade's arrival. They had a pleasant time until Wade arrived. Wade rode in on a horse, and the others questioned what it was. Gabriel stood stoically, half spaced out. The Renderra and Gabriel had a friendly meeting and they soon entered the bar, Gabriel staying outside to deal with Wade and Ravalan, after a few fireballs and a wounded guard later, the product of a small fly-demon. Gabriel finally decided to leave the area,  entering the bar, only to find that the Renderra had left.

Gabriel stayed within Yanille, staying with his family and socializing with his adoptive and blooded Elven cousin, Janelle, travelling in the rain with her to the bar. They found themselves with Elijah and Dylan Rovin. Eli first put his hand on Gabriel's shoulder, to which Gabriel reversed and put Eli's arm into an easy position to where he could dislocate it. After a short bit of hostile exchange, they finally came to reason and spoke, revealing only first names to Gabriel. Gabriel smiled, speaking with them along with Janelle. After a while, they departed, Eli and Dylan leaving him with a proposal to go off to the Jungle.

Gabriel returned to his siblings, Janelle going off to her house. He spoke with Griffen, Kennith and Ravalan for a short time, telling them of the Vyre conflicts in Varrock, and his need to retrieve their Uncle Stuart, who was within his house in Misthalin still. He soon teleported off, Kennith aweing at seeing Gabriel teleport off.

Gabriel returned to the sewers to meet with Paula and Arthfael, they spoke on how to kill Vyre, and Gabriel told Paula of his encounter with Elijah and Dylan. Paula exclaimed the importance of him not associating with either of them, and emphasizing the idea of a future relationship between the two of them. Paula, Arthfael and Gabriel returned to Garrett Praven's house, Paula tried to open the door, and Gabe stopped her. Gabriel stopped her quickly, telling her about the trap on the door. Paula commented on how it might be illegal for Garrett to have the trap on it, but Gabriel shrugged it off.

Gabriel unlocked the door, disarming the trap and entering with Paula first and Arthfael last, they scoured the house, searching for weapons and the like, Gabriel finding a sword that brought him back to his dark past, and only wanting to shake it off, he stepped away from the wall after collecting bolts and swords. He let Arthfael take a Silvthrill shortsword, smiling all the while. They soon collected some silverwear, Gabriel grabbing both a wooden spoon and a frying pan. They hurried off to Paula's house, where she retrieved a shield from her kitchen. They all proclaimed that they were more than ready to get back to base, and so they traversed the sewers once more and returned.

After they reached the base again, Gabriel, Paula and Arthfael spoke some more, on family bonds, and some bits and pieces of their pasts. Arthfael told them the most about his past, being king, a lord and a commander. Gabriel remenisced on what he had done in his short life, shrugging it off as they exchanged in conversation. Arthfael soon teleported off to return home, to be replaced by Daniil Orlov and his band of adventurers. Gabriel smiled warmly, standing next to his flame, Paula. Paula and Gabriel proceeded to explain the situation of the Resistance against the Vyre, and welcomed their help. After a few moments, Icriulis arrived and he entered the conversation. Arthfael returned to the base, joining in on the conversation immediately. Icriulis' attitude had caused a small argument between the group.

Icriulis and Daniil continued their exchange until Icriulis made the comment: "If you put ice on Vyre's that's technically freezing them." To which Gabriel replied with sharp sarcasm, "So you're saying if you put ice on a Vyre, it's freezing them?" ''This guy is a fucking genius! FUCKING Genius!''  He thought to himself, shaking his head and then re-directing his attention to Paula, ignoring any retort that Icriulis might have thught it necessary to make.

Paula attempted solemnly to calm the group down, displaying her magical abilities to the rest, for a short time, only to be ridiculed by Icriulis. She got a bit irritated and walked off, Gabriel following soon after and they began to talk again, mostly on her children. After letting her know of his past, Paula commented on how she thought he was a good person. He thanked her, leaning in slightly, to where she closed the distance, and the two shared their first kiss, it was lingering and far too short. Paula exclaimed that it was a happy beginning to their relationship, and Gabriel smiled in return before Paula wished him a good night and went off to bed.

Gabriel travelled around, finding himself in a short confrontation with a few Vampyre Juvenile's, beating them back with a spoon before running off. He then returned to the sewers silently and then taking a short bit off, his clothing tattered and covered in blood. He stood around, listening to a conversation Paula was having until Victor came in, informing him that Aralyn and Aranitus Aren were both dead. Aranitus was, to Gabriel, a hero and Gabriel found himself deeply saddened, which caused Kota Rovin to follow him and speak to him on life and how to kill Vyres.

Gabriel returned to Yanille for a short time, learning of the date of the funeral from some residents of Arenvale before soon returning to the resistance, he had missed the fighting, and found Paula entering the sewers alone, almost dragging her sword. They sat down at their favorite corner in the sewers before they spoke a little on what was happening. Gabriel told her what was happening in Arenvale, and in turn Paula told him of the battle with the Vyre, and how they seemed to be frightened of her. Gabriel commented in disbelief that no one could be frightened, only drawn in, by her beauty. He then proceeded to give her a kiss on the cheek, continuing their conversation before they shared another passionate kiss. Only a few minutes later and they were off to sleep.

The next day, they went to Edgeville, recruiting a few new members to the resistance, and then bringing them back to the hideout. They spoke some on how to repair the Salve Barrier and prevent any more Vyre from crossing it. Gabriel then returned to Yanille, where he met up with his siblings, teaching them magic, or helping them further their control. The only three that were there for this were Kennith, Ravalan and Lexxi.

After meeting with Grimdoc, a strange squirrel necromancer, he simply told the rules of Yanille, and then teleported himself and his siblings off. After this, they arrived home, talking with Julie and Arkaevum. Julie simply ridiculed Gabriel on being irresponsible for leaving Arkaevum by himself with her. He shook it off, he had more family affairs to deal with. He ended up searching for Lexxi's broken wand and glasses, that had been broken by Ravalan. After this, Gabriel helped Lexxi further her training for a moment.

After this, they searched the house, looking for Ravalan, they finally found him hiding in the basement. After a moment, Gabriel produced a small illusion of a squirrel, which ended up breathing illusory fire on Ravalan, who ran away. Lexxi began controlling a small golem, which began to thrash about, and eventually she lost consciousness. Gabriel shook it off before sending the Golem into the basement wall and crumbling it. Gabriel spoke to Ravalan, before finally deciding to allow him to train Necromancy. Instead of sending him to Grimdoc, he sent him directly to Garrick.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">Gabriel once more returned to Yanille, he seemed rather dismayed once Garrick told him that the funeral of Aranitus and Aralyn was an Aren only funeral. He understood, but he was unhappy and was on his way to return to the sewers to tell Paula that their plans were off for the funeral. Instead, he found himself stopped by an auld acquaintance, Evelyn Aren, whom he had met in the Rising Sun Inn a month before. They had a short exchange before Eve revealed that she was the sister of Gabriel's old mentor, Garth.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">In a few moments, they found themselves travelling into the Aren Arcane Institute, and after searching through the dormatory for a while, the group found themselves still walking when a door opened, revealing Arathorn Everric. After a short exchange between Arathorn and Eve, as they had known each other from Aspera Academy, she asked Arathorn to lead her to Garth's room after the arrival of Corvin, Arathorn's talking pet Raven. Gabriel and Ravalan followed behind, and soon enough they reached his home.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">Arathorn stopped, opening the door to find that no one was here, which he made very clear. After a few moments of searching through Garth's notes, Garth himself teleported in, returning for the funeral of Aralyn and Aranitus. Arathorn made a comment on Garth having enough heart to return. Evelyn and Garth had a heart to heart whilst one by one Arathorn, Ravalan and then eventually Gabriel left the area and returned home for a while.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">Gabriel returned to the sewers once more, pleasantly surprised to find Paula wandering around aimlessly while watching a spider for a friend. Paula explained the spiders presence and who it belonged to, Gabriel simply shook his head, wondering if he could control it with faunamancy, which, in theory could be used to bend creatures of the wild to your will.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">Paula advised against it, stating that the spider was a creature that came from the Wilderness, and that it only obeyed because her friend Ali had told it to stay with her. Gabriel took a short step in and placed his hands onto Paula's waist. She shooed the spider away for a short time, who in return, went off to chase a random rat. They carried on a bit more of conversation before Gabriel stepped in to close whatever distance was left between them. Paula wrapped her arm around his neck and then pulled Gabriel into another passionate, lingering kiss.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">After a few moments, the spider returned with a rat in its mandibles, Gabriel pulled back ever so slightly, maintaining their embrace. Paula then asked Gabriel what he wanted to do after the whole Vampyre Conflict in Misthalin was over. He thought on it for a few moments, and he admitted that he hadn't thought too much about the future, though he did think to himself about offering to adopt Paula's children, Aurora and Grant.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);">Paula then stated she hadn't thought on it too much, but she proposed the idea of going off to a getaway for just for the two of them. Gabriel smiled, thinking that this was a good idea, asking her what made her think of this. She bashfully told him that she was thinking about the conflict, and then how she thought of him while he was gone and proceeded to poke him in his sternum. Gabriel flexed into the touch, arching his back slightly towards her as  he hadn't expected it.

Personality and Appearance
Gabriel as a young man was a protective, happy and friendly boy, not straying too far away from his twin, looked up to as the top dog of the family compared to the others, highly protective of his siblings. His father Richard was his favorite parent, compared to Niki, whom he loved. His favorite sibling being his twin brother Arkaevum, with the close seconds being Kennith and Griffen. In the next year after the death of his father, he became more grown up, seeing how harsh life was, becoming much more stoic and hellbent on revenge, succumbing to his darker, more chaotic side, though now that he's achieved his revenge, he has decided it was best to try to leave the past behind. With this, Gabriel left to find himself, traveling to Yanille and for three years, in the secluded environment of the Aren Arcane Institute with the help of Garrick Everric, Gabriel learned how to control himself, becoming much more charismatic, warm and friendly.

 * Arkaevum Everric- Gabriel's twin brother. Before the death of their parents, they were rarely seen without one another. They have that "twin telepathy" type deal where they can anticipate one another's words and finish sentences, where subtle facial expressions, nods and smirks were their own secret language. The two are currently at odds.

 * Icriulis- An irritable acquaintance, Gabriel holds a strong distaste for Icriulis, thinking he's an idiot for making comments such as "If you put Ice on Vyres, that's technically freezing them." Also, anything he says makes Gabriel spit a sarcastic retort.

Trivia

 * Gabriel's current known blood is .006251% Elven on his father's side due to his direct descendance from both Flavia and Garrick Everric, whom were both half-Elves. There is likely more blood found throughout. Despite the low percentage, Gabriel has just ever so slightly pointed ears.
 * Gabriel's name means "Strong man of God" in Ancient Hebrew. His middle name, Richard, which comes from his father, means "Brave Power." His surname, Everric is derived mostly from Everett, but the name means "Brave Boar." The boar symbolizing the strength and resolve of the family. This is quite fitting because many see Gabriel as very strong magically.
 * Gabriel's favorite passtimes during the days are running, working out and reading, whether it be spellbooks or  history. With all this, he maintains a nice figure and a very sharp mind.
 * Gabriel's two favorite books are Monarchy and Fifty Shades of Varis Grey by both. He owns a copy of each, as well as a copy of Ariston's "A Zarosian's Guide to Dominating the Bedroom."
 * Gabriel is a strong believer in nature and the Anima Mundi, aiming to be attuned in his magics with nature the best he can, with this, most believe he's either a Guthixian or a Serenist, despite this, he is neither.
 * His favorite colours are red and green, many ooc'ly referring to his usual attire as looking like a Christmas tree.
 * Gabriel was the first Everric character ever created, and is thought to have the most potential.
 * Gabriel, much like his ancestor, Ariston, has a special interest in Half-Elven Women and mages. He is seen as being a womanizer and a casanova in general in the view of others, although he's only ever been with four women in his whole life, and likes to commit to relationships if made possible.
 * Gabriel was named for Garrick's uncle, Gabriel Matthew Everric, who sacrificed his life in order to stop Aralius from becoming too powerful.
