[Background] Once upon a time, a doctor named David (last name unknown) contracted Cuvier Syndrome, the very illness he was researching with his lover, Jenna Angel. Cuvier was a brutal way to die--the victims would slowly turn to stone, courtesy of a God that had grown tired of humanity’s destruction of the environment and tendency to use their intelligence to find new ways of killing each other. Terrorists attacked the containment area for those with Cuvier, and David died in Jenna’s arms, urging her to live her life and help humanity rather than hate them or herself.
An incident years later caused David’s soul to become part of an AI computer simulation for urban warfare, in the body of the green-haired strategist Gale. He had no memory of his past, and no emotion. While on the battlefield in a skirmish between his tribe, the Embryon, and the Vanguards, a mysterious object that could not be identified exploded when a shaft of light from the sky hit it, infecting everyone present with the “Atma virus”. As Gale and the others awakened, they found themselves surrounded by the leftovers of strange monsters, and the Vanguards were nowhere in sight. Where the strange object used to be, the Embryon found a young girl with strange black hair and no tag ring (for identification). The Karma Temple, hijacked by a mysterious new being called “Angel”, issued new orders for the Tribes to follow: Use the power of the Atma to kill the other Tribe leaders, and bring the black-haired girl to Nirvana. Everyone awakened to their Atma powers and the insatiable hunger they brought...but they also awakened to another strange power, one called emotion. Everyone except Gale, that was. He only had a half-memory of a dark-haired woman’s tearful face, one that only caused flickers in emotion that he brushed off as illogical. Until an attempt to ally with the Wolves Tribe’s leader, Lupa.
The leader of the Brutes, Varin Omega, had gained a terrifying new power: the ability to make another go mad with hunger and turn against anyone and everyone in their path. And he had inflicted it on Lupa. After Gale and his team mercifully put Lupa out of his misery, he finally awakened to his emotions, cursing the senseless slaughter going on around him and the terrible power they had obtained. From then on, Gale became resolute; he would discover the true nature of the Atma he and his Tribesmen had gained, and use that knowledge against the one who had inflicted them with it. He got his wish after Varin Omega was defeated, when the Embryon reached the top of the Karma Temple. But he was far from ready for the answer he sought. Angel was Jenna, the woman in his memories, a bitter and hateful being now who only wanted Sera to obey her without question and who was threatening to delete the entire Junkyard if she did not comply. Resisting Sera’s attempts to stop them, the Embryon engaged Jenna, who also had the power of the Atma virus. The battle was won, but it resulted in the destruction of the Junkyard’s master program, and the last pieces of the Junkyard, including the Temple, began to be deleted. Gale helped all of his companions reach the altar to Nirvana...and even helped Jenna herself, who seemed to recognize him, too. As the altar exploded around them, everyone was separated...and as he fell unconscious, Gale left a copy of himself in the dream world as he ascended to “Nirvana” and the hell that lay in wait there.
[Personality] Gale is remarkably balanced emotionally; he never lets his emotions get in the way of his thinking. Unfortunately, this means suppressing most of his emotional responses. Anger, he knows, is a powerful motivator, and while he doesn’t give into it like his comrade Heat, he has been known to lose his temper on occasion. Gale has never been shown to react in fear from anything. He is always logically minded and sure of himself. He hates the power of his Atma not out of his own personal feelings, but because of the pain it causes others. He cares deeply about those he deems comrades, even if he doesn’t always know how to show it, and he realizes that some things in life must be felt rather than comprehended. ...ah, yes. Comprehension. Gale has an almost neurotic urge to know, to collect data. If he doesn’t know something, he will investigate it until he knows the answer. He is also a ruthless negotiator, using logic to back his victim into a corner rather than idle threats. Gale also follows a stringent honor code of defending the weak and helpless, something he inherited from Lupa.
[Specialties/Abilities] Gale is a talented fighter and a superb strategist. He carries an assault rifle, but doesn’t use it much. At most he carries about three extra clips with him, just enough to discourage any creature from rushing him head on. And if they are foolish enough...well, he is an excellent knife fighter, keeping switchblades in his boots to hold off enemies with vicious kicks. With the Twister Atma branded on his left calf, he is able to transform into the demon Vayu, a significantly stronger creature than any mere human. It uses wind-element magic and has an excellent sense of balance, even taking to balancing on one foot to keep a large, sharp retractable claw at the ready (not unlike Gale’s switchblades). It is also very fast, able to dodge projectiles such as bullets and rush its prey down as it flees. If the energy from the sunlight is strong enough, he is also at risk of entering a berserk half-demon form, with glowing yellow eyes and his right leg twisted into one of Vayu’s more powerful ones. He’s not fully in control of his actions in this form, and is far more likely to give in to his feral hunting instincts.
[Affection] Gale is very reserved. Hug him, he'll likely stare at you funny, and try to figure out what you're doing. Any more than that, he will ask what you're doing. And probably take notes. XD
[Fighting] Gale isn't one to provoke fights. Sure, it's okay to try to fight him, but he'll likely logic you into a corner if it's a verbal fight, or pin you into a corner if it's physical. Injuring, sure. Kill? Uh. You can try. 8D Not only is he a talented knife fighter on his own, he also has a demon form to back him up. And that demon is entitled to think of you as lunch. In other words, dun frug with him if you want to keep your innards where they're supposed to be.
[Other Facts] GALE HAS A THING FOR HERMAPHRODITES. Truefax. :> Also, he's a cannibal. He needs a lot of meat to keep his demon from going berserk. Volunteers appreciated~
