Gabe Lancaster

Note: This Character is Canon, but they are Fan Created.

Gabe Lancaster is one of the side characters of Absent Aplomb. Gabe is a 15 year old transgender male. His notable protagonist friends are Sarah Kai and Tara Doe. He starts out with a crush on Anita Suns, another side character, and later ends up dating her in the series.

Appearance
Gabe is roughly 6"2', with dark auburn hair and tan skin. His eyes are bright emerald green. Due to starting transitioning treatments at such a young age, his body has grown to be a very masculine build, broad shoulders and a very strong jaw shape. Although it's never explicitly stated, it is implied that he's also under gone sex reassigning treatments to completely transition to male.

Gabe's clothing consists of a usual white or grey t shirt underneath a football jacket in the school colors. He wears baggy jeans that drag the ground and grass stained sneakers from his frequent lawn mowing for the neighbors.

Personality
Gabe is a fun loving, always smiling guy. Often times quirky, he maintains a popularity among the students at school, being described as a "people magnet." More accurately, he enjoys anyone and everyone's company (with some exceptions), and feels almost hurt when people in much smaller groups are too uncomfortable with the prospect of approaching him. He usually remedies this problem by approaching people who wouldn't be considered part of an "in crowd" and befriending them.

He met Anita through an odd tactic where he threw his football at her and it landed at her feet while having a conversation with her friend, Cole. Upon his approach of her, he immediately stumbled and failed at his every attempt to make friendly conversation on account of how incredibly pretty he thought she was.

When faced with bullying situations, Gabe is quick to jump to another's defense when they can't seem to defend themselves, yet immediately shuts down and shuts up when faced with an attack against himself. He is particularly sensitive about his transition, although he isn't afraid to tell others that he is, in fact, a transgender.

Activities
Gabe is the quarterback and captain of the freshman football team. He also loves to run, which he does in his spare time when not mowing lawns or playing video games with his friend, Tara.

Experience with Monsters
Gabe is the host of a rage filled monster of solid black. While the parasite attaches to him and waits to free itself, it starts to take on parts of him, namely his sadness and rage at his ill treatment by Elana. After being released, the monster takes Gabe's jacket and wears it when its initial anger has been taken out on several unsupecting victims. The monster is only calmed when Anita is close by and safe. After it first sees Anita, the monster falls into a depressive state, not attacking humans or magical kids when they approach, merely sitting.

Gabe's monster escapes him by tearing through his stomach, leaving him mortally wounded and barely alive by the time it finally releases him when it is killed.
