Likes: Gael enjoys watching the precision and elegance of machines at work, and the chaotic imprecision of people in daily life, and deeply loves the philosophic and ethical debates relating to political rule.

Hobbies: Reading dense political and philosophical texts outside of his prescribed curriculum and the occasional penny dreadful.
Musical taste: He isn't an avid music fan, but can listen to most varieties with equal enjoyment.
Talents/skills: He knows how to ask questions and press arguments, a thinker and planner. Social strategy and leadership is what he has been trained for and he excels at the theory, however practice tends to move too quickly for calm, logical thought and so he tends to struggle with the unexpected.
Ability to pilot a car/plane/ship: His only practical driving skills are limited to light ground vehicles, though he knows the theory of basic flight controls.

Disliked food: Meats, on ethical principles.
Disliked drinks: Alcohol for both taste and effects.

Describe the character's house/home: His room is in a perpetual state of organised chaos with files, books, notes and study materials strewn about the space with only the colour coded tabs glued to each pile to lean some semblance of order to it. However his clothing and necessities such as cutlery and the like are usually in better shape.
Significant special belongings: The plain silver ring that he is never without, and his first edition copy of Professor Q. McKinley's Manuel to Ethical Politics.
Level of education: Persistently trained in the Devoir School of Political Science after achieving the prerequisite levels of reading, writing and arithmetic. His study is still underway.
Current job title and description: A trainee in the school of politics and leadership, Gael is tasked with developing and honing his skills as a leader while being tested with increasing rigidity for his candidacy in such roles. If deemed fit for them he will be promoted into leadership, if not he will be reassigned and shuffled out of the way for other candidates.
Name of Employer: The current generation of leaders of the nation of The Faction.

Peaceful or aggressive attitude? Peaceful, Gael would prefer to preserve life when faced with such choices and he seeks to understand the viewpoints of others and make alternatives relevant to them on a personal level rather than simply bulldoze his own over them.
Fighting skills/techniques: With very little combat experience Gael prefers to fight with his head, planning and directing others.
Special skills: A clear thinker with an eye for detail, Gael can plan deeply and widely given enough time to do so.
Weapons of choice: The twin small calibre, five round pistols he keeps on his person separately in a specially made boot holster and in a shoulder holster.
Weakness in combat: Inexperience and a poor shot particularly with his own pistols which have a very short effective range.
Strengths in combat: With his ability to think through and plan out situations he can be quite dangerous with his feet under him and his head clear.

History: Gael was born and raised in the scientific community of The Faction and from an early age showed his aptitude for the political sciences and was quickly placed in the appropriate division training. Since then he has been exposed to various theorists and theories of governance and in doing so become somewhat disillusioned to the current Faction system. However he recognised its necessity and brought his worries to the wider panel explaining his doubts and proposing that an inquiry into alternate measures be undertaken. The panel approved his motion on the provision that he was to be the one to undergo the study and fund it entirely through his own wages, what they did not tell him was that he was also placed under watch for possible treason. However they were to be surprised by his stringent upholding of The Faction's political position. He truly did believe their methods the best available and strove to better them or replace them with ones that could be made so, his openness and passion was rewarded and he now finds himself assigned the Observational Supervisor for the Leonidas Project, one of his first field tests for suitability in Political Management.
