Gaage Eberwhit
Appearance
Gaage is muscular, with long red hair tied behind his head and light facial hair adorning his chin. His eyes are strikingly similar to the color of his hair, and his ears are pierced with silver studs. Having eschewed the uniform once provided him by the Academy, Eberwhit now prefers to dress as lightly as possible, preferring to wear a tight black vest over a white undershirt, with black trousers held on by a belt made to hold his knives and tools. Over this, he often wears a feather-collared coat he's taken a particular liking to since leaving Vel Anir. His body bears several battle scars, the most prominent being one down the center of his back. Eberwhit is never seen without his necklace, crafted from a chunk of iron he picked up on his first assignment.
Skills and Abilities
Gaage's specialty is the manipulation of organic matter in any way he sees fit; he can gather, disperse, merge, move, and destroy this material, but the scope and strength of this ability are oddly tied to Gaage's mood. When angry or aggressive, the power of his magic increases dramatically.
It's also important to note that 'Organic Matter' is not limited to flesh, blood, and bone. Though more taxing and difficult for Eberwhit, he can extend his influence to other organic materials such as plants, organic fabrics and materials, and whatever else holds life within it. In contrast to the usual increase in power that his anger gives him, the manipulation of non-flesh and blood organics is more effective when Eberwhit is calm.

Personality
Gaage is hot-tempered, foul-mouthed, and aggressive. During his youth, he was often the type to solve problems only with violence and had a reputation as a loose cannon amongst his peers. Despite this, he's matured incredibly over the last couple of years. While still sporting a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush with shame, and an undying love for a good fistfight, Gaage has become far more level-headed and thoughtful.
Perhaps replacing this short fuse is his intense feelings towards Ysobel. Eberwhit is extremely protective and passionate about his lover, sometimes to a fault. When any problem presents itself, the first thing Gaage considers is how it will affect 'Yoh'.
The same could also be said of his strong bond with fellow exile Zael Castomir. Finding common ground as Initiates over their mutual love of fighting and women, Zael was perhaps the only person Gaage has complete and total faith in. He considers Castomir to be his Brother, and is fiercely loyal to him.
