Appearance Notes: Gael stands firmly at 5'7" (170.1cm), and, though detractors sometimes like to call it shrimpy, his build is best described as compact, and trim. His hair is naturally ebony black, but he likes to dye it often to either suit his mood or whatever job he's on. However, at the moment, he's wearing it natural. He likes to wear it loose around the house, but goes for the so-called "comma" hairstyle (
x) when out and about. His preference for clothes tends toward styles that are either chic, sophisticated, cute, or casual; sadly he can't really afford the clothes he'd really like to wear and can only buy worn-out stuff from secondhand stores right now. Doesn't have any notable scars or tattoos, yet.

Brief History
—— Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on March 29th 2001(he's an Aries), where he still lives together with his mother and younger brother.
—— He was raised by his mom in a single-parent household, something he didn't realize was odd until he was older. His mom never talked much about his dad, but he'd been able to discern that the two of them were ships that passed in the night. He knows his father's name but that's it.
—— His younger was born to his mother and her "boyfriend", when he was five.
——Also when he was five, he began having oddly detailed dreams, of a place he'd never seen before and involving people he'd never met. However, the first one that he can recall now he had when he was about seven.
—— At that time, he noticed that his life eerily reflected that of the dreams he always had; the tip-off was when his mother's health declined. It was also then that he took up an interest in music and performing.
——With his mother able to work less and less, the small family that was barely scraping by before sunk into abject poverty. To lessen the burden, his brother began staying with his father for long periods when he was thirteen and his brother was eight. Back to being just him and his mom the two soldiered by with the help of governmental assistance programs, which was still barely enough for the both of them.
——In high school a classmate asked Gael to model for a piece he planned on entering a contest with. The piece ended up winning and his classmate gave him a portion of the prize money, and he realized that modeling might be a viable way for him to make some extra money for himself and his mom.
——He started to go to auditions, even taking the train by himself to get to ones in NY, he didn't particularly like modeling but the income that he began bringing in became essential to sustaining their household. When didn't have a modeling job, he worked at a convenience store.
—— When he had collected up some experience working as a model, he sought out an
artist management company in NY, NY, figuring that it would be easier to transition from modeling into a musician that way.
—— When he was turning eighteen he released his first 'single' still with that company called "Dreaming", a song that he'd written/recorded for music class in school that received a professional reproduction. And it since has unexpectedly made it onto the billboard pop 100, peaking at 89.
——Since then he has made more tracks for soundtracks on tv shows, songs, and done more modeling work but he can't really be called a pop star nor his music career a success, yet.
Extras
—— His favorite colors to dye his hair, in no particular order, are: cherry red, teal, gray, and medium brown.
—— Finds suspenders either unreasonably cute, sexy, or repulsive depending on who's wearing them.
—— Although there are three people in his dreams, including himself, he can only recall feeling romantic love for one of the other two.
—— Gael's father is Korean and his mother is Spanish.
