Description:
Motto: "Why me?"
Past:
After the assassination of James Cobain, Lacie Kismet miscarried their son.
Tragedy, the muse that had disappeared, reappeared upon the death of James, and his son. As the last chord of their existence was struck and cut, the sorrow of the melody led her to at least give the child another chance as he was taken from death of the Olympians, and sent to the realm of Christian Hell. Though a child of luck, and also, a child of touched by a god, and saved by a muse, the years that followed were anything but fortunate.
In Hell, time passes a lot faster, to represent eternity to the people suffering inside it as their soul is slowly devoured by the tortures or their sins. For Gabe, who was born without sin, as he was not born yet in the world, it meant he had a bit of immunity from being trapped in a torture like the other humans… But it didn't mean he saw any less horror, or debauchery growing up due to this.
Indeed, learning to lie, cheat, strike fear, and other such 'games' was the norm for this child as he rapidly grew up in this messed up layer… That was until he met Dina, angel, sent down to 'survive' in the horrors of Hell. Gabe thought it a great joke to play on his fellows to help her out… Little did he know he'd actually develop feelings for her.
Explaining things like family, friends, and love was nearly impossible for Gabe to understand, still, he did feel she was worthwhile to bed at the time, so hung around, waiting for his chance to do so… Yet, always feeling that he needed to ask permission or get her acceptance, when all the other 'women' he had were just cattle to be prodded, and played with.
Still, it wasn't until the devil's daughter, Lucy, challenged him to a game of chance with Dina and his luck on the line, that he actually really felt the first beginnings of love. The game that followed was not a battle… but more of a massacre for Gabe, as demons did not just gamble with money, but their sense of selves, finally, Gabe, backed into a corner, had only one thing to match, his luck to the devil sire's own and his love for Dina…. Lucy, confident that she'd broken Gabe, nodded her agreement and as he finally drew the last queen of hearts for his royal flush, she screamed in rage and ordered them dead.
What followed was a harrowing chase of fighting, sneaking around, and general mayhem throughout the layers as both of them overcame the challenges, found comfort in each others arms, and finally managed to make it out of the hellhole. Still, getting out of hell isn't as easy as fighting out of it, as Dina only had one item to get out of the place, which she forced on Gabe despite his protests.
Taking Dina's place out in the world now, he hopes to one day figure out a way back, and the only way he knows how is to do the dirty work of the higher powers.
Excerpt from Gabriel's log
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
It rang through me over and over, as I watched Dina shove the hollow string into my hands, and smile, before the bright flash of light, to the realm of mortals. Love did strange things to a man, making them think they could do anything, fight anything, be anything to be with their loved one.. That's why, even after losing almost everything, I keep thinking….
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
Dina, I'll train hard, do enough favors for your Order, the devils, anyone that'll hire me so I can get back to Hell, and rescue you. Just wait for me! I'd cry over and over in my sleep…. Still, the only thing I got in my head is.
Double or nothing….
Double or nothing….
Another day as a person here in this city, I can't stand it… Its not as noisy as Hell, its not as clean as Heaven, its just, never deciding, and always changing, I don't know if I can keep up with it Dina… I'll do my best though, because….
Double or nothing….
Is all I got going for me.

Complications:
-Murphy's Law: Being the son of Lacie, he's a butt monkey for fate, anything that can go wrong, does go wrong for him.
-Devil's Own Luck: Stealing the devil's luck means that the forces of evil want it back by his death.
-Touched by an Angel: His first lover being an angel, makes him a bit unexcited for normal sex a lot of times.
-Paladin's Mercy: Angels demand that he try to have as few casualties as possible. Fight for truth, justice, and love.
-Gamblers Code: Demands that he take risks, even if his own self preservation is on the line. Take risks, go against impossible odds, and weigh the risks to win the most. Inspired by the Muse, he must show off when he can.
-Gadget hound: Angeltech provides most of his gear, but he still enjoys weaponry and gadgets of any sort so will actively seek out gear related to it when possible.
