{Name: Gabriel Michel Evans
{Nicknames: Gabe
{Age: Eternal
{Gender: Male
{Species: Angel
“white lace and feathers
{Occupation: Gabriel is, and will be until the day he dies, the Arch-Angel, highest in command in Heaven. Of course, even the most powerful beings need a day job. Gabriel's chosen occupation is curator of the Natural History Museum.
”they made up his bed
{Skills and Abilities: Gabe has, literally, control over nothing. He has the power to create vacuums. He has the ability to wield the 'delete' button of the universe. To put it simply, Gabe can destroy matter and energy, which is truly remarkable and stop other matter from entering the perfect vacuum he has created. It's a simple matter for him, really, concentrate on what he wants gone, and boom, it's gone. It works on anything, people, inanimate objects, liquids, anything that has matter. So stay on his good side, or you might vanish, literally.
Also, Gabriel has the unusual, and somewhat useless, power to chose which dimensions to exist in. For example, he could chose to keep out of the fourth dimension, leaving time altogether. Or, he could stay in the fourth but vacate the second and third, making travel easier by going in a straight line in the first. Or, if he was feeling like he needed a break, pull his full being into dimension zero (the zeroth dimension just doesn't sound right), which is the lack of all substantial presence. As you can see, it really has no practical use, other than annoying the crap out of everyone around him.
Aside from being able to choose which dimensions he wants to be in and being able to create nothing, Gabe has some other skills. He can get on people's nerves almost faster than they get on his. He also has this amazing way of seeing the worst thing in everything. He knows how to keep order in an army, and is rather good at tactics, though not as good as his brother. He can make a mean steak and mashed potatoes. He is absolutely fabulous at trivia games and chess.
{Weaknesses: Gabriel can't help it, he sees the worst in everything, causing him to get annoyed at, well, pretty much everything, being the perfectionist that he is. He can't deal well with mistakes anyone makes, and tends to be quite a bit harsher with people if they do something wrong. Which really sucks for the people who make the mistakes. Another personality flaw is that he is unable to let go of things. He grows attached to something, or someone, and he will be totally devastated if he looses it. Like, lock-yourself-in-a-room-and-refuse-to-eat-or-come-out-for-a-month devastated. The more attached he is, the worse it gets. Gabriel also tends to be lazy. Well, not lazy, really, he just hates any sort of responsibility, which, seeing as his position is totally huge, is a rather large problem. Also, once he uses his 'delete' power, the thing is gone. No undo button.

{Height: 6'1"
{Weight: 186 pounds
{Build: Gabriel is muscled, but not extremely so. He isn't heavy, or frail, either. He's well built, and looks like a business man who works out and stays in shape.
{ Hair: Gabriel's hair is short, straight, and black, sometimes messy, or as messy as a mostly shaved head can be.
{Eyes: Gabriel's eyes are regular sized and such a light blue they could be considered gray.
{Appearance: Gabriel is handsome. Not in the 'OMG!1!! he's lyke totally HOTTT!!1!' sense, but he's good looking. His skin is a basic olive tone which gets darker in the summer and lighter in the winter, depending on how much sun he gets. His face has a bit of black stubble on it, often because he's just too lazy to shave. His ears stick out a little bit, and he has a large nose, though not huge. He has a few premature worry lines and his eyes are almost always dark from a lack of sleep. His hair is a bit unevenly cut, due to the fact that he's a bit frugal and does it himself.
Gabriel almost always dresses in ironed work shirts and ties. In fact, he only wears jeans and a tee shirt is when he's doing yard work. His shoes are always perfectly shiny, and his pants always neatly pressed. He doesn't really have a preference in colors, but mostly they are dark. Gabriel has glasses, but only for reading, and he hardly ever uses them anyways.
Gabriel is well muscled, though it's not huge. He doesn't have any tattoos, though he does have a small birthmark on his left forearm. Gabriel is tall, though he's never going to be the tallest man in a crowd, and not a basketball player, for sure. He always stands up straight, and seems to have an aura of power, which is only natural, considering his position, which he reluctantly took over from his brother. Overall, he has a well dressed and handsome appearance, giving off a feeling of power and control.
{Face Claim: Clive Owen
”on which he laid
{Personality: Gabe is, to put it lightly, exceedingly rude, blunt, and to the point. He is not one for any sort of tact at all, though when he knows there will be consequences, he keeps his mouth shut, in the manner of 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.' He hardly ever hands out compliments, either, rarely finding the perfection he craves.
Another rather annoying thing about him is his complete and absolute stubbornness. Once he sets his mind on something, he'll do it, or die trying. Which proves that he gets things done, because he isn't dead yet. He's a little obsessive in this regard, and will constantly hound his underlings to get things done, to do their jobs better, stronger, faster. He isn't the greatest boss to have, in that respect, but when life gives you lemons..
Of course, you can't be the leader just by being an exceedingly rude perfectionist, there are certain qualifications that have to be met. a] Brains. You need them. And Gabriel's got them. He's a genius, pretty much, and he knows what to do in tough situations. b] Bravery. Gabe is like Macho Man, tough, brave, fearless, you get the picture. c] Connections. It was all his brother's fault.
Gabriel is really the sentimental type. He cries when bad things happen to people he loves and he's totally into throwing temper tantrums, though that's pretty annoying. He's very into keeping control over anything he loves, which can come off as overbearing, but he really just wants to be loved. In fact, he can be pretty pathetic, sort of like a kicked puppy. He's rather immature, especially for his age.
He always tries to be tough, because he was always the younger brother, the less powerful one. Always second-best, second-choice. He tried to be tough, but he still is not used to responsibility, and he has discovered that he hates it. In fact, Gabriel tries to avoid being in charge whenever possible. Which includes never leaving the room during meetings (even to use the toilet) to avoid being elected to head a committee.
Gabriel is a bit, or more than a bit, of a pessimist. He always seems to come up with the oddest things that could go wrong, and always seems to know the probability of something horrid happening to you. Which is very strange, when he's in the middle of a conversation. 'What could go wrong?'
'Well, there is a chance that we could all spontaneously combust right before we start.' And we all know that that makes for truly fabulous dinner conversation.

{Family: Gabriel has one brother, Michel Gabriel Evans, who is currently in a coma. They had a very good relationship, and Gabriel was devastated when Michel got sick. Of course, Michel's job then passed to him, which is how he became the leader.
”he went to fight wars
{Birthplace: Heaven
{History: Gabriel and his brother were created a few seconds after the beginning of time, created by God. They grew up rather quickly, in fact, their childhood, compared to most angels' was very short. Other than that, they grew up uneventfully, and witnessed the turning of Lucifer, and the creation of sin. Michel became the head of the army, and Gabriel his successor, if anything should happen.
Everything happened slowly, they won battles, they lost battles, they grew in numbers, their numbers receded. No one had the upper hand for long, but that was alright, they kept trying, and as long as they did that, they held their own.
Human progress came and grew, and grew, and grew. Technology became readily available, and with it, more dangerous weapons available to humanity. Then the Angels had to switch their focus, from winning the war to protecting the Earth. In that switch, the demons began pushing forward. In a stunning mistake, Michel joined a battle and was seriously wounded.
He fell into a coma, and Gabriel was devastated, having the responsibilities his brother had held fall upon him. After his official appointment as head of the army, he went to ask the Immortals for help. Specifically Libby
