;; appearance
general;; Gabriel Tombe is young, and his appearance displays this. His skin is pale, almost white, even after the long hours in the sun that are required from his job. There is a scar on his chest from a burn mark he received in his childhood. He is average height, standing about 5'9 with sturdy arms and a long torso. He has no facial hair, even though occasionally he likes to imagine himself with a rugged beard. His hair has grown to be rather shaggy, since he doesn't bother to overly groom it, knowing it'll probably get messed up again in the next hour or so. It is a deep onyx-black, part of which dangles over his face, so he is constantly pushing it out of the way.
His eyes are a brilliant, silvery blue that are so light they appear pure white in certain lighting. He has many famous facial expressions, for he is unafraid to display emotion. He is one to constantly raise his eyebrow, give strange smirks, or just grin brightly with his gentle smile. His voice is smooth, full of emotion, and has a musical sound to it. He often doesn't have the chance to speak to anyone, for his work keeps him in the coldest and loneliest of places.
He doesn't dress formally whatsoever, for he could truly care less about his appearance, considering his job. Normally it's just a collared, button-down shirt with some half-decent slacks. He owns no hats, for he has never really had a need for them.

;; personality
general;; Gabriel, despite his current position in life, is a very positive, glass-is-half-full kind of person. He has a very kind disposition, and is rather talkative, even to strangers. He is an adventurous type, always taking risks and even getting himself into a bit of trouble on occasion. Since he has spent the past two years of his life bombarded with put-downs and insults, he simply has learned to take the hit with a smile. With that said, it doesn't take much to aggravate him, if that is your goal.
Gabriel loves to sing. It is his one passion that keeps him going. That was the very reason he began working in the Opera House to begin with. He'll often hum melodies to himself, or quietly observe the practices while he works. Often enough, if he knows he's alone, he'll sing to himself, performing for only the hallways and corridors. He believes that none have heard him, but he wishes for someone to "accidentally" overhear him and be overjoyed to find such a talent that he possesses. That, however, in his eyes, is a far off and near impossible dream.

;; origins
general;; Gabriel grew up in a modest home on the countryside with his two young parents. His mother had run away from home because none of her family approved of her marriage to his father. Ever since, the whole family refuses to have anything to do with her or her family. Even though it was difficult to begin on their own without any family support, they managed to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. His father had a very difficult job, working most of the day and coming home completely exhausted. Because of his constant stress, he took on alcohol as an escape. Shortly his mother began the target of his abusive drunken stupor, and she wished to leave his father.
Despite her wishes, she stayed, for the fact that it was very difficult to get a divorce at the time, and she didn't want to abandon her son who she loved dearly. However, fate had its own ideas. The first person who ever discovered Gabriel's singing talent was his father's uncle, Harris Tombe. Having a big name in the theater world, he began making plans to begin a career for the young Gabriel. After hearing this, his drunken father went into a rage, knowing that if Gabriel was taken under Harris's wing, his wife would surely leave him. He made plans to rid themselves of his uncle. While he was staying in their home, Gabriel's father set a fire on the entire house, leaving Harris, his wife, and little Gabriel trapped inside while taking off on his own.
Gabriel amazingly survived the accident, but with many scars from burn marks to show his near death experience. After this he was taken in by a good friend of his mother's, an older woman who had very little spare money. She could only afford a small home in the city which is where he spent his life until about the age of 21, when she passed away from an unexpected heart attack. Knowing he couldn't afford anywhere to stay, he began searching for work.
He still held his dream of performing in the Opera House all throughout his life, so he chose to search for work there. Therefore, he has continued to work as a cleaner for the past two and a half years. He still has not saved up enough for even a small apartment, so he chose to stow away in the storage room until he could afford a place of his own. Occasionally, the room ends up being locked, so he often has to find elsewhere outside of the Opera House.
