OUT WHERE YOUR TROUBLES CAN‘T FIND YOU

[/b] his family, keeping people safe, freebies, smoking (tobacco and weed), inappropriate jokes
dislikes: dressing up, The East side, social structure, politics, corruption
strengths: companionate, protective, authoritative, funny
weaknesses:bitter, overprotective, keeps true emotions and fears bottled up, unmotivated
fears: living his entire life in Oakbrook, the fragile state of his family’s economic standing
goals: win the lottery, keep Reese away from East Oak
personality overview: Gabe is a pretty negative person, but for good reason. His family struggles and he feels there isn’t much he can do about it. He hates the social structure of Oakbrook and anybody who he brings it up to shoots him down with taunts of ‘things will never change’. He broods over his family’s situation, and the fact that he can’t decide what he can do with his life that will make him happy while simultaneously helping his family out. He knows how hard it has been for his brothers to get on their feet. None of them were able to go to the college they wanted because of financial situations. All Gabe wants to do is get Reese into a good school and take care of his mom. He just doesn’t know how.
Gabe likes to smoke, but doesn’t unless something is offered to him. He refuses to spend money on cigarettes or weed. He bought his own lighter though so every time a friend offers him something, he can light it himself. Gabe is internally conflicted and fearful of his future, but tries to come across knowledgeable and confident in social situations. He cleans up VERY well and has a great deal of professionalism.

hometown: West Oak
family social status: Poor but not necessarily ‘struggling’
brief history: Gabe was nearly 7 when his dad died, and he was probably the child who was effected most out of everyone else in his family. He couldn’t understand why it had to be his dad who went away. And he didn’t understand why they had to move from east to west oak. But as he grew he became more and more observant of the world around him and everything that was going on, and now he probably understands the situation better than anybody.
When he was 13 Gabe started crossing the line into East Oak to go and visit his father’s grave. It was then that East Oak boys that he used to call his friends started to make fun of him. He was smart to start going at night, but when he was 15 a group of guys found him and beat him up bad enough to send him to the hospital. After that night Gabe vowed to never cross the line again – at least not until the social structure was dissembled and people stopped being such assholes. He also promised himself and his father that he wouldn’t let what happened to him happen to Reese, who would never remember what life on the East Side was like anyway.
