— MENTAL

INTJ-T To be put in simple terms, Gael is a chess player.

Gael had always been a thoughtful, concise individual.  Intellect and charisma, he valued most as he grew -- learning with the right thinking and careful words he could be two steps ahead of those around him.  Despite being of a distinctly introverted nature, he never shied away from public speaking, nor backed away from leadership whenever it became necessary.

Driven by a passion for knowledge rather than power or material things, Gael is very straightforward and while he may be very blunt at times, it can be trusted his words will be honest.  He does not expect the same of others, but harshly judges those who constantly rely on deceit and manipulation to get their way -- he is not easy to trick, nor impressed by those who try.

Logic rules Gael's actions more than emotion, though he is notably vindinctive of those who bring harm on his family.  One may insult or harm him specifically, with little to no acknowledgement for he has seen and heard much before, but the second the safety of those in his care is put in to question, he is a harsh judge with no time or care for mercy.  He is one who has lost much and will stop at nothing to protect what he has left.

POSITIVE TRAITS Alert, creative, independent, decisive, intelligent
NEUTRAL TRAITS Private, reserved, smooth
NEGATIVE TRAITS Overly analytical, aloof, blunt, vindictive

MENTALLY EXTREME To Gael the mind is the strongest weapon one can possess.  While he typically refrains from utilizing his mental manipulation against others unless necessary, he is always prepared for an attack of such nature; his mind a well-guarded fortress.

BELIEFS & BEHAVIORS As an intellectual, Gael possesses a firm belief in the freedom of the pursuit of knowledge -- everyone has a right to learn and demonstrating a willingness to do so is worthy of respect.  He actively encourages curiosity and prefers studying an issue in-depth before any decision-making.  Meanwhile arrogance and deceit are lowly and pathetic in his eyes.  Opinions are important to Gael, but only so long as they are informed and willfully dismissing the truth is simply wrong.

Despite this fierce belief in truth, one should not expect Gael to be an open book.  On the contrary, his mind is his own and while he rarely lies, he hardly ever shares his deeper thoughts or feelings on issues -- he must truly trust someone to be so open.  Instead, he prefers to share the facts and logic of a matter first and foremost, for those are more important to him regardless.  He would rather offer unbiased information before any kind of emotion becomes in play.

Similarly biased in his intellectual world view, Gael tends to prioritize efficiency over personal comfort; he works hard, often with particular patterns, with little interest in taking breaks.  While he would not admit to being a workaholic or a perfectionist, it is evident in his careful routines and consistency that he is.

When it does come to emotion, he is not the most outwardly expressive individual.  He is however, an artist, and thus values personal expression, in whatever form that means for someone.  Despite his difficulty to express himself outside of a painting canvas, he does feel strongly -- protectively, over his family and those he has taken into his care.

— NOTES

Gael is a full-blooded FAERIE; the cause of the difference between his physical and true age.

POWERS Gael possesses air elementals, mental manipulation and communication, and clairvoyance.  He has mastered all of his abilities, though he is more likely to utilize his air elementals over the others.

GAEL Ó BROIN

I’ll keep you safe
Try hard to concentrate
Hold out your hand
Can you feel the weight of it
The whole world at your fingertips
Don’t be, don’t be afraid
Our mistakes they were bound to be made
But I promise you I’ll keep you safe
