[Character information]
Name: Gabriel
Canon: Supernatural
Canon Point: 5.19, somewhere in that awkward phase between being stabbed and actually dying if that's okay. If not, then shortly after Sam, Dean and Kali get out of the motel.
Age: Probably older than time.
Appearance: Well, most strikingly, he's really short (nearly 5'8", pint-sized compared to the rest of the Supernatural cast, if maybe not actually that short in real terms). Other than that, he's pretty average - brownish hair, brownish eyes, nothing particularly distinctive about him (except perhaps the near-constant smirk). He usually dresses pretty boringly - jeans, shirt, jacket. Of course, this is just his vessel. Gabriel's actual true form - well, we don't know what it looks like, but it's probably the stuff of nightmares.
Inventory: His clothes. Probably his sword, too (it's technically on him at both canon points, though in the former it is, you know, in his chest, so that would be a sucky way to wake up)
Abilities: Like all angels in the Supernatural-verse, he can teleport instantaneously (by flight). He can also teleport others. He frequently makes use of his ability to manipulate reality - he can magic up with a snap of his fingers anything from a candy bar to a whole new reality, and shapeshift. He often avoids death by creating replicas of himself, which seem to share his powers. He can also manipulate time, for example creating time loops, skipping ahead, or turning back time. In game, he'd be cutting out the pocket universes and time travel, for sanity's sake.
Judging by the powers of angels of lower rank, such as Zachariah, he can change humans' biology at will - for example, removing lungs or inducing stomach cancer, and of course replacing the lungs and curing the cancer. It's implied by Michael's powers and by his own actions in 'Mystery Spot' that he can also bring humans back to life at will. He's pretty much invulnerable, and while he can be attacked if it's with anything less than an archangel's sword, Death's scythe, or something similar, it's unlikely to have much effect. It'll hurt him and he'll doubtless make a fuss, but it won't do any permanent damage. He doesn't need food, water or sleep to maintain his vessel, though unlike many angels he seems to indulge in at least eating and drinking anyway. He's also extremely (and deceptively) physically and telekinetically strong.
However, he can be trapped by holy oil, which is also capable of hurting him badly, if not outright killing him (it's unclear in canon whether archangels are the exception to the 'holy oil kills' rule, or if it was just Michael who happened to be a special snowflake). He can also be affected by spells and magic, at least those of high-level practitioners - Kali's bloodspell worked, though as a goddess, she would have been unusually powerful; a normal person's spell might not have the desired effect.
History: Here is a link. I can write it up if you'd prefer but I have a lot of feelings and I will end up writing you an essay.
Personality: Unlike the traditional angels of cheesy films and Hallmark cards, or even the righteous warrior of Heaven, Gabriel is basically just a massive jerk. Though he does, as the Angel of Justice, punish the deserving, he probably shouldn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as he does. He's constantly snarky, sarcastic and obnoxious, with no apparent respect for anyone. He doesn't take anything seriously, or at least, he appears not to; he's of the Supernatural school of 'bury your feelings' and 'no chick-flick moments'. While he's capable of sincerity, he avoids it whenever possible, and will often be unwilling to admit to any serious emotion unless he has to, or unless he's talking to one of the very few people with whom he's close enough to do so. About 25% of his speech consists of pop culture references and slightly unusual slang, and a good way to describe his personality (structure is absolutely necessary, or I'll ramble on for pages and pages) is with the Seven Deadly Sins:
Mostly unmentioned so far, he's kind of cowardly, though he covers it up well with sarcasm and bravado, and is called on this by Dean. He left home because he couldn't bear to watch his brothers fight, rather than intervening. He then stayed hidden for thousands of years, rather than risk returning, because he was afraid to stand up to his brothers, especially after living as a hedonistic Trickster. Despite this cowardice, he's also very loyal. He left Heaven because he loved both Michael and Lucifer too much to take sides, or to watch them hurt each other. He'll deny caring about either his old angelic family or his new Pagan one - he does outright: "I don't... care..." - but as Dean points out, he does. At the risk of sounding like a Care Bear, he cares a lot. His loyalty's pretty hard to shake, too. Even after everything Lucifer's done, he still loves him, and tells Dean that he'd be unable to kill him. This also applies to his new Pagan family - even after they have attempted to kill him in cold blood, he still cares about them, and ends up dying for them. Well, he tries to. He's a little too late for that, seeing as his big brother's already massacred them by the time he shows up... but it's the thought that counts.

About 25% of his speech consists of pop culture references and slightly unusual slang, and a good way to describe his personality (structure is absolutely necessary, or I'll ramble on for pages and pages) is with the Seven Deadly Sins:
- Pride: He's probably one of the most arrogant people you could ever meet. He's cocky and confident - perhaps not wrongly so. As an archangel, a Pagan god, and one of the most powerful beings in existence, he has a right to be. However, it's his pride that's his downfall - if he can be fooled into believing his plan is working, he'll let his guard down. This has invariably been why each of his failed plans has, well, failed. He can’t stand losing his superiority - in situations where he’s without his powers, he’s clearly strained. He gets a lot more serious, and is blatantly uneasy. On the other hand, he doesn't expect any kind of special treatment because of his power - while he doesn't seem to respect anyone, he in turn doesn't expect respect from others. He appreciates a good trick at his own expense, as seen when Dean tricked him in Tall Tales, almost as much as one at anyone else’s.
- Gluttony: He's known for his love of wine, women and song, but more notably, he's addicted to sugar. No, really - he's close to never without some kind of glucose, and it's generally how people see through his disguises. Just look for the guy eating pancakes drowned in syrup, and you have your Trickster.
- Lust: If he ever gets lonely - and as a lone wolf formerly from a very big not-so-happy family, you can bet he does - he just magics up some Playboy-lookalikes to keep him company. He even leaves his last words in the form of a porno.
- Wrath: He has quite a temper on him. Though he's usually belligerently good-natured, if one presses his buttons (namely, mentioning his family or calling him out on any of his issues), he will snap, and it will not be pretty. This goes double if you are Dean Winchester.
- Sloth: Despite Milton's view of him as chief of the angelic guards, Gabriel can be pretty lazy. He avoids combat and confrontation whenever possible, preferring to manipulate events from behind the scenes.
- Envy: He's largely motivated by this in his focus on Sam and Dean. In his first appearance he deliberately tries to drive them apart, though there would be easier ways to stop them from finding him out. In the second, he's still annoyed by their close relationship, especially now that the ball's been set rolling on the Apocalypse with Dean selling his soul - he'd been running from his family, but now he knows it won't be long until he ends up having to see Michael and Lucifer fight to the death. This prompts him to serial murder Dean, like the kind of lonely psychopath who kills off happy couples. He's also motivated by wanting to prevent the Apocalypse, but he doesn't try very hard (he doesn't want to blow his cover), and while that's logically what he wants, on a more emotional level he's getting pre-emptive revenge. Later on, he even admits being angry at them because 'thanks to you two, I have to watch my own brothers kill each other' - if he has to watch his brothers die, so does Sam. Still, when Sam still refuses to let Dean go ('he's my brother'), Gabriel gives in - he's bitter and he's jealous, but he can't not sympathise with that, and he kind of wishes his brothers still felt that way. He gets his wish, sort of - Sam and Dean end up falling out more often over the next few seasons, which he points out: Sam's question in TV Land is 'what was the name of the demon you chose over your own brother?', and while trapped in the holy fire, he says they betrayed each other. He'd been bitter over their closeness before, but it turns out he's no happier when their relationship's less functional. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Mostly unmentioned so far, he's kind of cowardly, though he covers it up well with sarcasm and bravado, and is called on this by Dean. He left home because he couldn't bear to watch his brothers fight, rather than intervening. He then stayed hidden for thousands of years, rather than risk returning, because he was afraid to stand up to his brothers, especially after living as a hedonistic Trickster. Despite this cowardice, he's also very loyal. He left Heaven because he loved both Michael and Lucifer too much to take sides, or to watch them hurt each other.
