Height: 5'11
Weight: 125 lbs
Special Characteristics: Generally hairless, though if hair is present it is always bleach bone white. Though different form factors vary, a consistent trait is his eyes never blink due to the presence of nictitating membranes over what eyes are present. This gives him a rather penetrating gaze that never falters. Eye color tends to fluctuate between amethyst violet to sapphire blue. Skin varies between completely transparent, translucent, and obsidian black. Texture may vary from smooth to abrasively coarse. The purpose of which also indicates what core functions Gabriel is focused on. Transparent/Translucent = Feeding Focus as a result of the thinner membrane, Obsidian = Defensive/Survival focus due to the concentration and density of carbon. Do not approach either forms when he is asleep and when awake, only approach the obsidian form.
General Description: A person of few words but of many faces his penetrating gaze is the only way to reliably distinguish him as he transitions between form factors on a daily if not hourly basis to suit his needs and curiosities.
Average Clothing: Long strands of bandages wrapped in a manner not unlike that of mummy wraps. These are his preferred garments as they are adaptable and conform with whatever form factor he chooses to assume, whereas other garments would be awkward, uncomfortable, or completely unwearable.
Likes: Being fed, reading, music, crafting, sunbathing, napping, storytelling, honesty, humility, intelligence, tolerance, honesty, and creativity.
Dislikes: Being hungry, close contact, loud noises, low temperatures, hypocrisy, bigotry, pretentiousness, dishonesty, pomposity, belligerence, and chauvinism.
Strengths:
Pain Resistance/Immunity: His unique physiological state grants Gabriel tremendous pain thresholds and outright immunity if he so desires.
Fast Learner: Ever eager to understand the world, Gabriel grasps the fundamental mechanics of how things react in different situations and also spends a painstakingly large amount of time to understand it to the best of his knowledge.
Resourceful: Creativity is Gabriel's strong suit as he is prone to solving problems in unconventional and sometimes disturbing ways usually related to the use of his powers.
Skilled Craftsman: Gabriel spends days and nights at a time perfecting whatever he has set his mind on creating be it through the use of his powers or more conventional crafts such as carving, sculpting, painting, or drawing.
Weaknesses:
Psychological Scarring: Causes him to shun physical contact with others and generally finds it difficult to socialize with others for the fear of repeating the incident that brought him to Asylum 39.
Eternal Hunger: Is almost always hungry and if left unfed for too long will go into a feeding frenzy that may or may not differentiate 'valid' and 'invalid' targets for subsumption. This most often occurs when Gabriel is asleep.
Physical Lethargy: Unmotivated for physical activities unless there is a promise of being fed for engaging in said activities.
Cold Sensitivity: Gabriel does not generate his own internal source of body heat and may enter a state not unlike the torpor found in reptilian organisms.
Skills/Powers: G (Whatever Rank deemed by Moderators is appropriate) 21 [Desired Prisoner Number]
Organic Subsumption & Domination: The organism that would best describe Gabriel is that of an amoeba. It has no localized organ or definable system of organs comparable to any complex organism of its size. It is instead an amalgamation of cells that work in unison. As a result it is capable of absorbing biomass into itself through any surface through direct contact meaning its 'mouth' is a vestigial visual component retained by whatever form factor Gabriel desires to assume.
Any components that are severed from Gabriel are still under his direct control and can be instructed remotely to carry on tasks as per normal. This chain of command enables Gabriel to shift his body mass and body density at will into more suitable forms and can dismantle himself if required. This also means that any structure if resources permitting (both physical and mental knowledge) may be constructed given enough time as long as the components are of an organic origin.
Therefore Gabriel tends to use a rudimentary nervous system which may be broken down or disabled as required giving him his trademark immunity or resistance to pain. It also serves as a general sensory system when avoiding subsumption of 'invalid' targets and also why Gabriel shuns physical contact for fear of repeating the mistake that finally made up his mind to seek refuge in Asylum 39.
General Personality: Gabriel's existence could be described as a one-way mirror to most of the world. Though he can see outwardly and marvel at its beauty, what is seen when others cast their eyes upon him doesn't reflect his true disposition. And for this he hides it as best he can. However, Gabriel admires, respects, and lives up the the values he sees as just. Thus Gabriel though unmotivated will never falter in a task he as sworn to complete, nor will he ever break his word, or willingly deceive someone. He is most enthused when there is an offering to have him fed, or allow him to demonstrate his talents of creation and craftsmanship.

History: Gabriel was born into a family that was already just barely able to support four mouths. Growing up he was faced with hunger on a day to day basis. Until the age of 7 the nature of his hunger was simply explained away as a result of his family's financial difficulties.
Eventually the day came when Gabriel's latent abilities awoke in full force and he subsumed his family unconsciously as he and they slept. Awakening to find his family gone and without a trace aside from their empty clothes and a hollow household, Gabriel was eventually sent off to live in the care of foster parents.
However, time and time again his caregivers would inexplicably go missing, never to return. Gabriel never learned the reason for this until recently when he awoke during one of his nocturnal feeding frenzies subsuming his roommate.
Horrified, Gabriel attempted to end his own life only to be met with failure. Slowly gaining consciousness of the very dangerous and near immortal body he wielded, Gabriel decided it best to resign himself into the care of those running Asylum 39 so that he might never subsume those he cared about again.
