OOC PREFERENCES:
•CONTACT METHOD: PM or discord (shoot me a message with yours!)
•THREAD-JACKING: Fine!
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Prefer not to be fully fourth walled. Ok to discuss castmates with different paths/endings/etc!
•BACKTAGGING: I prefer to try and wrap any major things before the next event as much as possible!
•AVOIDED TOPICS: None, but please do warn me if your character has a heavy rape/SA background that might come up as I don't like to be caught out by it in the wrong mood!
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: He/him
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: Act 3. He was kidnapped and killed by Orin.
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Gale is a wizard who loves purple. He has shoulder length hair, a well spoken and regularly arch and condescending tone, and facial hair that his familiar (a tressym, a winged magical cat) frequently asks him to shave. He carries himself with confidence, and as a Waterdeep native is more of a city boy than a countryside fan -- but he has done plenty of exploring and is... peculiarly in shape for a wizard with such low strength! Blame thirsty developers. He keeps his clothes clean and tidy, but has a slightly worn down/tired edge to him.
•DEMEANOR: Gale loves the sound of his own voice, and doesn't always know when to stop talking. He will talk at length about any topic that interests him, which is many. If he believes himself an expert on a topic (largely, magic) he will also talk down to you. He loves a moral high ground, values education, and prefers where possibly to negotiate rather than start a fight. If you do start a fight however, he will finish it. He's also a very emotional character. He loves poetry, to give you an idea of the level we're dealing with here.
He's also a wary character. He masks worry and mistrust with cheerfulness. He will happily redirect onto someone else, or act like everything is fine. He spends most of act one telling you only surface level details of himself, and getting edgy and annoyed if you press for more. That same rule will apply to new people on the barge. He'll talk at length about conceptual magic or cats or you, but resist telling people anything about himself until he's found trust in them.
•ABILITIES: Gale is a wizard versed in largely offensive and utility spells. Most of his offensive spells will be locked as an inmate, and he'll be reduced to short-range teleports and spells like 'knock' which unlock doors.
Will add a few examples later if you are reading this before I do!
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's largely a regular human.... aside from the lethal nuclear-bomb level of magic sealed into his body, and the Illithid Tadpole?
•CABIN INFORMATION: A cluttered, but bright, room with a desk, plenty of bookshelves, writing papers, and several overlapping rugs on the wooden floor. Based on his home in Waterdeep.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Despite talking down to other people, Gale himself reacts badly to being talked over or treated as unimportant. He also has existential issues around religion and suicide baked in, so be warned if this is upsetting for you equally: he was canonly asked to sacrifice himself by his goddess. There's also some shadiness around how he was mentored by his goddess before he became her lover, we don't really know the degree to how bad that suggestion is but it isn't a good look regardless.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Yes, but Gale is suggested to have a reasonably high resistance to this canonly. He will also be very cross with you if he catches you.
•MIMICRY: Yes, just let me know oocly! Also Gale will find this offensive ICly. Shapeshifters are a bad time, one murdered him.
•VIOLENCE: Yes!
•MAGIC: Yes, but if he is unshackled he can counter magic quite effectively.
•DEBATE: Gale hopes your debate points are well informed (yes).
•OTHER / NOTES: Gale is from a bad route through the game, and his mental health is absolutely in the bin.
•CONTACT METHOD: PM or discord (shoot me a message with yours!)
