Ruggedly handsome, or so he would be quick to say, Gavin is a man of olive complexion who's traits suggest a mixed parentage. He is a man of dark hair and equally dark eyes with various scars on his body earned from a hard life. His build is that of a man who had spent a great deal of time swimming, as he is no stranger to the water. His jaw and chin are sharp, suggesting an Anirian background, those his nose is round and brow more pronounced, traits often associated with those from Elbion. At first glance, one may not question his eyes, but upon closer inspection, it would seem that his right eye does not dilate. This is because an event in his past claimed that eye and it has in fact been replaced with a glass eyes. Gavin has been known to switch up his appearance, wearing an eye patch from time to time.

As for clothing, he is partial to leather coats and lighter clothing as it does not impede his movement.

Gavin is quick to joke that he was born at sea and those a natural sailor, and though his speaks in jest it is quite true. A life spent at sea has taught him to read the ocean and as such, he has a knack for navigation and reading currents as well as the weather. He also has an uncanny ability to keep his balance, as he has spent a great deal upon a moving ship.

Aside from that, Gavin is talented in sword play, favoring saber or short swords when faced with melee combat. Because he is ambidextrous, he is comfortable using a sword in either hand or if the occasion calls for it, both.

Lastly, Gavin is magically gifted. Though he has the potential to expand his magical prowess, he has instead chosen to focus on three main cores and strengthen his skill with each.

Ignite: A black flame is conjured which typical burns hotter then normal fire and is twice as difficult to put out. With effort Gavin can project these flames through the palm of his hands though it typical drains him quickly and goes no further then a few feet. Because of how taxing it is to maintain a steady stream, Gavin opts to coat his blades with this black flame as it often has the desired effect in combat.

Embrace: Gavin surrounds his body is swirling flames for a limited time while coating his body in a thin shield of mana. This prevents his own body from taking harm and clothing from burning. The swirling flames tend to act more as a deterrent, preventing multiple foes from attacking him at once or else risk getting burned.

Burst: Storing vast amounts of mana with in his own body, Gavin draws as much power as possible before he is forced to release it in the form of a massive explosion. Fueled by rage and desperation, Gavin has only used this spell twice to devastating effect. Because of the nature of this spell, there is no follow up as he is rendered unconscious immediately afterward.

Though only able to cast these three spells outside of calling forth small flames, Gavin takes pride in the the strength of his limited magical abilities. However with all magic there is a price for it's use. The magic draws power for Gavin and with each use he drains not only his stamina but his health. Pushing himself beyond his limits can result in blood loss, something he had dubbed the blood price.

Gavin is comical if not charming at times, using his sly little grin to disarm even the toughest of opponents. He is also a story teller and so, one cannot exactly trust what he is saying. One example is that it is not known exactly how he lost his eye, as he often spins a colorful tale each time he is asked.

Though guarded of his past and not quick to tell, Gavin takes measured steps to show those he has taken an interest in that he can be trusted. He makes it clear that his lack of details in his personal life should not paint him in a negative light.

He is a man who is sure of his position in life, though he tries to never come off as smug. His business in Arillia has kept him well employed and paid, though he is not frivolous, never flaunting any wealth. His apartment itself is small and cozy, and he shy's away from any real finery.
