BUT IN TIME I'M GONNA PUT THIS BODY TO SHAME,

Though he was always short during elementary school and part of middle school, Gabe now stands at 5'11, carrying 167 lbs of what he'd like to believe is mostly muscle with him. His hair is black as night, and very short. He likes the fact that his hair is somewhat fuzzy the way he has it. He has medium sized dark brown eyes and a slightly broad nose. A typical outfit for him is a simple shirt, jeans, and sneakers (usually Converse). He doesn't pay much attention to his attire really, as it doesn't really concern him whether or not he looks disheveled. Stubble is not really becoming for Gabe, and he likes to stay clean shaven.

BODY TYPE: Athletic-ish, as he played sports for most of his life. He's gotten lazy lately though, so his body isn't quite as built as it was.
HAIR: Black hair, which is naturally a bit curly, but since he keeps it basically in a buzz cut, you can't really tell.
EYES: Brown.
HEIGHT: 5'11
WEIGHT: 167 lbs.
TATTOOS/PIERCINGS: None.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Scar on his arm from... well, he doesn't actually know what it's from.
PLAY-BY: Tristan Wilds.

WEAR A SUIT LIKE MY OLD MAN,

Gabe's parents didn't come from riches. The small town in Virginia they were born and raised in was a humble one. Helena's parents worked as tailors, and Charlie's father worked odd jobs to support six kids. The two met in their freshman year of high school, and began dating in their junior year. Their high school didn't really have the best educational system, but both of them were determined to make it into college. They broke up in their senior year, and, by chance, ended up going to the same school afterwards, where they rekindled their relationship and subsequently, married.

Three years after their marriage, Helena became pregnant - with none other than Gabe himself. His parents focused mainly on teaching him as much as they could, and he was a pretty intelligent child. Then, when Gabe was four, his sister, Carly, was born. Throughout childhood and early adolescence, Gabe was very protective of Carly. He loved his baby sister and couldn't stand to see anything bad happen to her, though admittedly he was a bit jealous of her from time to time. Carly had a talent for the arts. She could sing, dance, and play guitar. Meanwhile, Gabe was, and still is, totally tone deaf.

Despite that, he had arguably quite a good life. His social life was definitely up to par. He had many friends, and quite a number of girlfriends. His grades were high. However, he was always very stressed due to the amount of pressure put on him by his parents.

But then when Gabe was fifteen, his father was offered a job and they moved to Preston Heights. His family was delighted that Gabe and his sister would get a chance at a good education, what with Lawrence Collegiate being a much better school than the one they had at home. Gabe, of course, was not so delighted at the prospect at leaving all his friends behind, his perfect life, and still today would rather attend PHA. He doesn't understand why all the other students seem to hate the PHA students so much. Personally, he thinks they're "more badass."

HOMETOWN: Small town in Virginia.
MOTHER: Helena St. James, 47. English teacher.
FATHER: Charlie St. James, 48. Lawyer.
SIBLING(S): Carly, 13.
PETS: Armando, a gerbil.

PACK UP ALL MY THINGS AND GET MY ASS OUT OF TOWN,

Gabe can act very different, just depending on what type of mood he's in and who you are. With adults, strangers, and figures of authority, he's very polite and respectful. With his friends, however, he can get to be pretty crazy. And with kids he doesn't know, he tries to be nice. When he's angry, you'll never hear the end of it. He tends to hold a grudge.

He definitely loves to laugh, though. In social situations, Gabe gets loud. He cracks a lot of jokes and does, at times, do some pretty risky things. He tends to throw caution to the winds when he's with his friends, simply because he loves the rush and having fun. Like most teenage boys, though, he also loves to impress his peers, so that might be part of the reason he gets a little crazy. He has pretty good self-esteem, and isn't at all shy. He'll talk to anyone and everyone.

In school, Gabe is very determined. He's driven and completes his work thoroughly, partially because his parents pressure him significantly and partially for his own satisfaction. He's a perfectionist, which can definitely be a bad thing. All he ever sees in things and people are flaws. Gabe will often spend a long time making sure things are "just right." He hates being useless and will try to avoid it all costs.

Gabe can be a jerk sometimes. He tries to be nice, he really does, but sometimes people just get on his nerves. Usually, he'll try to apologize if he thinks you didn't deserve his rudeness. He can be pretty sarcastic too, especially when he's in a bad mood. He may be a fun loving person, but, well, try not to get on his bad side.

WE'VE GOT IT GOOD,

Hi, I'm Emily and I've been around this world 17 times. I play Gabe St. James and I found out about this site from surfing around the web, don't remember where specifically.. I've been in this business for around two years, maybe a little more. If you need to contact me, please do it through PM. Oh, and by the way, -admin edit-

WHETHER YOU LIKE THIS TOWN OR NOT,

And so there they were, packed in the car on a hot July day. A hot July day that could've been spent swimming or hanging out at home. Or, well, what used to be home anyway. He heard the trunk of the car slam and knew that his father had just loaded the last of their bags. The U-Haul truck behind them was full of furniture, pictures, old memories. To be honest, Gabe couldn't really understand why they would want to leave it behind. This was where they had lived pretty much their entire lives. What was the sense in leaving now?

Next to him, his sister shot him a look that stated pretty simply, "screw this." Gabe shrugged his shoulders, folded his arms, and looked out the window. He watched the small town scenery pass him by, saw the sign welcoming them to their town fly further and further away, and then it was gone. Like nothing. Real nice. His phone buzzed in his pocket and he looked down. We'll miss you, Ryan had texted. Great lot that did.

His mother turned around to face them in the backseat. An obviously forced smile plastered itself on her face, her eyebrows cocked in uncertainty. "Oh, it's not so bad. You'll make new friends, you'll love it in Preston Heights, we'll stop and see some things on the way up..." In his pocket, he felt for his iPod, and turned up his music. No reason to listen to her, she'd just ramble about what an exciting adventure this would be. Yeah. Sure.
