"What are you talking about? I'm already the Besht!" Gabriel is delusional, not able to see the facts for what they are and always thinking that his answer is the correct answer. Because of his monotonously optimistic delusional state, his ideas are usually terrible or even downright dangerous, but he will go through with them anyway due to the fact he thinks they're flawless. This doesn't make him stupid. It makes him a downright idiot. Of course, he isn't completely unswayed by logic, but he always seems to have a way to loop it right back to whatever idiotic idea he has cooking in his noggin.
He is a terrible listener. Actually, it's fair to say he's probably not listening to you at all. Sure, he might be nodding along and looking as though he's getting it, but whatever you're putting down, he's probably dropping on the ground and watching it shatter into a million pieces. And if he is listening, it's hard to say he's even understanding what you're trying to tell him, stubbornly holding on to his naturally inferior way of thinking. Because of this, he can be hard to work with, that is unless you somehow managed to adapt his idiotic ideas into an actual plan.
There is never a time that Gabriel will doubt his own abilities. And if he does, it's usually through a lapse of intelligence that will rarely ever happen again. Although his overconfidence might get them into trouble, it also serves as a confidence booster or even a confusing factor whenever people are facing him. Though, there is genuinely nothing insanely smart going through his brain and he just really believes in his idiot plan. However, mixed with his lying abilities, sometimes it might be hard to tell the difference.
Despite all of this, Gabriel is surprisingly "nice"...well at least he's very polite in his manner of speaking. He isn't afraid to admit that someone might be pretty rad- just that they're not as cool as he is. He has a tendency to take insults as a compliment and will be very proud of himself regardless of what you tell him. You could tell him that he is the dumbest person alive and he will whole-heartedly thank you for that statement. Though, that might be just because of the fact he can't read the mood of the room even slightly.
Gabriel has a strange fixation on wind related things. Like windmills. Fans. Wind quirks. Sometimes flags. If it blows in the wind or blows wind he is obsessively compulsively obsessed with it. Like a moth to a lamp, he loves it more than anything. He likes to sit in front of fans of up on tall places and just let the wind blow in his face. This can often completely distract him. If you ever want to stop a thought where it's as idiotic as this, you just blow a fan in his face and he'll forget all about it.
Despite his nature, Gabriel has a hard time with large groups of children. One or two is usually fine, but places where most children gather sets him off and he is quick to try and escape it. Of course, if you ask him about it, he'll deny it with a simple "What? I'm not shcared of anything! I'm the besht! >:3" and leave it at that. It's hard to get him where he's vulnerable to feel comfortable talking about things like that.
In Gabriel's mind, everyone is both his ally and his enemy- though he tends to flop between those two ideas whenever he seems to please. In his backward way of thinking, he believes that everyone allegiance to him is flexible and everyone will agree with him at some point. From Heroes to Vigilantes to even other Villains, his enemies are merely people who don't understand his vision yet and his allies are people who just haven't turned on him yet. This dangerous cycle of trust and suspicion tends to keep him paranoid when he has a moment to overthink it.
Due to his own flip-floppy, stubborn nature, Gabriel craves stability. Never having anything like that and his ideas tending to throw him for a loop. He has this innate need to feel secure which is partially why he calls himself the best. The better he is, the more secure he'll be- or at least Gabriel thinks so.
APPEARANCE
WEIGHT: 112 lbs
EYE COLOR: Gold (Left eye), Red (Right eye)
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
FACECLAIM NAME: Oliver
FACECLAIM SERIES: Vocaloid
He has faded blonde hair that pokes out here and there from underneath a sailor hat. This is accompanied with a sort of navy sailor kind of outfit. Gabriel isn't too sure where he got it, but he's sure it's probably important if he's worn it all of this time.
Although he was naturally born with heterochromia and both eyes had sight when Gabriel was young, nowadays his right eye is now completely blind aside from brighter florescent lights. To keep himself from getting distracted by his other eye, he bandages it up, however this doesn't stop him from somehow running into everything that is on his right side since he can't see it.
Gabriel is away seen barefoot. Whether it's because he doesn't have shoes or he lost his shoes or he simple didn't want to wear shoes is a mystery no one will never know the answer to. Mainly because Gabriel can't remember when his shoes stopped being a part of his wardrobe. He has bandages over his legs and some draped over his head to cover his right. When the bandages are taken off, you can see that a couple of long, jagged scars on his legs and the jittering of his right eye.
HISTORY
Gabriel's dad were usually busy with work, which the young boy usually preferred, enjoying the quiet time he had between him and Lillee. Whenever his mother got home, his friend seemed to disappear, but Gabriel preferred it that way. He didn't want to know what his dad would do if he found the bird in his house. Sometimes it was okay whenever his dad came home. Other times, his dad would be mad and hurt and he knew exactly how to make Gabriel feel the same way too. He'd berate the young child over small things, punish him for little mistakes, and blow everything small quickly out of proportion.
Eventually, the cracks started to show from the abuse, scratch and bruises running along his arm. But his dad always knew to not make it permanent, so Gabriel just did his best to hide it instead. However one day, after a specifically terrible night, Gabriel stayed home and broke, telling Lillee what was happening the next time he saw the bird. He didn't think the bird would tell, so his dad wouldn't find out. Over the course of the week, Gabriel told Lillee everything, letting all of the wrongdoing done to him out.
However, when his dad came home after the week ended, he was furious. With a knife, he stabbed Gabriel's eye and cut the boy's leg, all the while explaining that he wasn't allowed to tell. At that very moment, his mind broke off into a new alter; creating the reckless, supportive friend Lillee to help control the ship. Lillee saw the dangers and used their quirk to fly far, far away from the home.
4 years later, the duo decided that their life was becoming a little too boring and Lillee was sure that to prove Gabriel's dad wrong, they had to become the absolute best. After much deliberation, they figured out they couldn't become the absolute best as a hero since the market was too full, but they COULD become the absolute best villain since all the big time villains were in Tartarus. (That being said, due to their skewed view of morals, they ended up being more akin to a vigilante.)
But all good things must come to an end and one day where the two of them were chatting in their mindscape, Gabriel decided to integrate into Lillee creating a sort of delusional, reckless middle ground between them. At first, Lillee wasn't quite sure what to do, going from a primary protector to a host, but he was determined to help Gabriel complete his dream. With Old Gabriel's lying skills now disposal to Lillee, he decided to go by Gabriel and make their dream a reality to make his dad fear the name that is The Mad Batter.

Quirk AND SKILLS
QUIRK: Monster's Call
QUIRK TYPE: Transformation
QUIRK RANK: Bronze
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Monster's Call is a quirk that allows the user to transform into a bat-like creature with white fur, a long beaver-like tail, and a bat-like wings. Although the transformation itself, is currently fairly weak, there are a couple things that the user can do to aid in flight, camouflage, and carrying people.
Puff up: By puffing the fur around his neck, he can make his appearance look starkly difference then his usual base form. While this also aids in adding a cute factor to his quirk, it also helps in sensing the wind currents around him during flight. Although he can't do much with this right now, it at least lets him know if a wind quirk is present or if someone is flying near him. However, he can't figure out any details such as how strong they are or how big they are
Blip Blip: For 2 posts, Gabriel is able to change the color of his fur once per thread. Although right now, he is stuck with changing to only one other fur pattern and cannot match his fur to camouflage it to anything. After the 2 posts on the color change is up, he cannot use this skill for the rest of the thread
Pick up: Gabriel can pick up one person and carry them for 3 posts. If he wants, he can try and push it to 4 posts, however if he does, he cannot fly for the rest of the thread, leaving him completely landlocked for the rest of the thread no matter how long he rests.
QUIRK DRAWBACKS: No matter what form or color this form will take, it will always be weak to fire. His fur is highly flammable and will easily catch ablaze at even the smallest spark. Because of this, fire and Lightning quirks are extremely dangerous for Gabriel and should usually be avoided at all costs.
Aside from his natural weakness to fire, his flying speed is almost akin to a balloon aimlessly floating in the sky or a blow up float being dragged for a parade. Other than the basic flying skills of turning left or right, his big poofy fur and his slow moving speed makes him and extremely easy target in the air. As though to continue that, he isn't all that fast or adept at using his beaver like tail- causing it to get caught in wires or string; making him truly the fluffiest balloon.
Due to lack of training, the form itself isn't very strong as well- making him closer to fighting slightly heavy beanbag than an actual bat monster- able to hit at the level of a small shove. He really can't do any lasting damage while fighting.
