5: How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
It really depends on the mood Gabe is in. He’s not a violent person so he won’t use his fists to settle it. Usually, he’ll brush it off with a couple curse words and ignore the person, but if he’s rather surly he won’t be afraid to bite back.
7: Does your OC have any irrational phobias?
The only real phobia Gabe has is losing someone; once he becomes close with someone he is constantly paranoid that they’ll up and leave. It makes for a tricky thing to deal with, since he won’t talk about it and attempt to sort it on his own.
8: How is/was your OC’s relationship with their parents?
Not bad, but not good. As a child he was quite disconnected from his father, since most of his time was spent away working. This became worse once he remarried and the relationship between Gabe and his stepmother was never good to begin with; he resented her. However, he adores his mother. She worked constantly, but spent time caring for Gabe whenever she could ( and spoiled him ).
27: Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?
At times, yes. Gabe buries himself in work when things get rough. Will also have the occasional cigarette or two to distract himself from stress or an emotional low.
