Congratulations and welcome back to The Glee Academy. GABRIEL CHANG is a DOMINANT and will be placed in suite 160 in the building that used to be Dalton Academy because he has been found to pose no threat to the general population. As soon as you send in your account link I’ll add you to the masterlist and get you an ooc link.

Both Chang parents were very alike at first glance; both had pivotal roles in the sports world and both were firm, respectable Dominants that took a no-nonsense approach to life. They wanted the very best for their children, so they kept on top of their studies and ensured that all three children were shining examples of success and responsibility. The Chang Family own and manage one of the biggest professional football teams in the United States. Their family has heavy ties in the world of sports and are very wealthy and known because of it. The Chang children have been thrust into the world of sports and business since childhood, often being used as the faces of their parents’ company to present the image of being family-friendly. At times, it felt a little bit like all three of them were clones, and being twins didn’t really help matters. A sense of personal identity was something that Gabriel desired, but didn’t quite know how to put his finger on putting words to express that desire.
He remained a human robot, number one of three, through most of his high school years. It didn’t help that he is on the spectrum, undiagnosed because his symptoms just make him a better student. He didn’t understand social cues, so he didn’t have many friends, but he did have perfect grades. In his senior year, he experienced everyone relaxing, getting ready for a chance to really relax that upcoming summer– like they never had before. This was incredibly appealing, and he was sucked right in, but he didn’t participate. He continued to do everything that his parents wanted him to do, excelling in both his school work and extra curriculars. When he graduated at the top of his class and gave his valedictorian speech, he felt like he really had accomplished something special.
His first year at a D/s preparatory academy saw no change. He was still the same person that he had always been when it came to excelling and wanting to succeed, he was also the same person when it came to allowing his peers to help him decide how he felt about things. He got in with a rough crowd and found himself really enjoying the thrill of things that some people might consider downright evil. A submissive was nothing but a toy for him, something to mold and bend to his will and whims. The world allowed this sort of thing, so it just felt right. It was within the rules and laws, after all. Though his following of the laws to the T, he came into taming the brat named Genevieve Sterling. She was initially someone he had ordered and she’d back-talked him only to find him missing the entire plot of her insult and when she realized he was on the spectrum, she changed her tune. This allowed her to find that he was actually a good person and someone that she wanted to get to know. He considered claiming her, but she was entirely way too invested in Nikolai Flanagan. Gabriel assumed he would claim her.
After graduation, during the rebellion, he was out driving with a friend– or rather, riding in the passenger seat, when everything changed. The friend said something that set Gabriel off, causing him to start an argument, which the friend tried to escape from by turning on the radio too loud to talk, causing Gabriel to reach for the wheel and yank. He was already on edge because of the rebellion changing things and he had no coping mechanisms. The accident left him with no memory, and in his confusion he ended up scaring himself when he was reintroduced to his life. It just looked like so much responsibility. Fleeing was the best option, and he did so as soon as possible, and didn’t stop until he found himself in a small place where he could get a grip on his injuries and his mental state. Nobody knew where he went, he just seemed to disappear. But attendance at an academy is a requirement by law now that the rebellion is over, so he was tracked down and found, then brought to The Academy. He’s been checked over to make sure his injuries are healing and he has physical therapy once a week. Part of his response to waking up to such a confusing reality was to explore and change his style, he looks like a completely different person now. He still acts the same, there’s no stepping off the spectrum and certain integral likes and dislikes are the same. He knows his name because of what happened in the hospital after the accident and from being taken back to academy, but he hasn’t been using his last name.
