Full Name: Gale Eden
Nicknames/Aliases: Gale, Lollipop, Lolly, Demon Child
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Gift: Adhesive Saliva, “Beast” shift, general boosted physical attributes
Loyalty: Himself, mostly, although he previously identified with both Erubesco and Liberty as a “broad” agent, and now the Wanderers.
Description: Gale is completely and utterly adorable. Large, chocolate brown eyes, soft blond hair, and soft features that radiate innocence. His usual attire plays off this, with him preferring to don pastel colors, bows, and coats a few sizes too big for him. He’s hardly seen without a lollipop stem poking out from his mouth, and often carries several wrapped candies in his pocket in case the flavor runs out of his current one. Gale has a tattoo of the Liberty insignia on his left wrist.
Personality: For all of Gale’s sweet, cherubic appearance, he is a monster through and through. Hiding behind an attitude of courtesy and politeness, the youth is extremely cynical and cold, viewing others as inferior to him. He has no qualms in regards to inflicting harm on others- in fact, relishing it, often dragging out interrogations for longer than necessary, and tearing apart enemies in battle. He has a extremely dark and cruel sense of humor.
Skills: Due to the genetic experimentation of Liberty, as well as careful training, Gale is quite a bit stronger than many boys his age. He’s trained in use of guns and basic weaponry, although he prefers a direct approach- one in which he relies mostly on his own claws. His “shifting”, while turning him into an inhuman creature, boosts his strength and speed, granting him use of razor sharp fangs and claws as well. Gale can seal his own wounds shut with his own saliva, and, as he is unable to feel pain, can bounce back from injuries that would send many reeling.
Weaknesses: Gale is very reckless in a fight, going for a direct approach and not caring much at any attacks launched against him. His instincts occasionally get the better of him, as well, causing him to launch himself at an opponent in an effort to cause as much damage as possible. Non-physically, Gale is extremely haughty and aloof, making him very much a liability on the team he is on without anything to “tie him down”, so to speak.
Brief History: Born as a result of “Project Beast”- an attempt at creating the perfect soldier for Liberty to send out en masse against Erubesco- Gale was one of the more perfect results, having a near 100 percent match towards what traits the researchers desired. However, the flaws that Gale had made him extremely unpredictable, driving him to make many attacks on his own peers. This stopped somewhat, however, upon befriending a fellow project named Kasey. While initially irritated at the boy’s persistence, Gale grew to tolerate him, even when Kasey gleefully declared that they were “friends”.
Even with Kasey keeping him company, Gale continued to rebel, and was continuously punished as a result. Upon finding that basic techniques had no real effect on him- with the boy even encouraging those in charge of him at times- they began to use Kasey against him, hoping to keep him in line. That failed, however, when Kasey eventually perished, causing Gale to murder his own teammates and join Erubesco.
After serving as a “dedicated” Erubescian for quite some time, he was sent out with a team to attack the Wanderers. While Gale ended up defeated and captured, he bore little obvious ill will, and eventually joined the group as a benevolent member.
