Who Wants to Live Forever? is an RPG on the DreamLyrics Site forum that is based on (you guessed it) the Highlander movies and television series. Gabriel is a member of Robespierre's secret police during the French Revolution. A shadowy, unofficial organization, its members keep tabs on the activities of the aristocrats, their royalist sympathizers, and foreign spies. Gabriel, whose family status is barely above peasant, is one of the most dedicated and talented member of this force -- someone who truly delights in the chase, the hunt, and finally the capture of his quarry. He is intense, dedicated, and (if you happen to be an enemy of the people) a quite implacable foe.
His personality is quite serious and quiet. He is a true believer of the revolution who sees Robespierre as someone closely akin to a diety. Though some may consider Gabriel a villain, he would refute this, as he is only working to assure that the People of France are freed from the opression that has enslaved them for so long. He wears mostly black so he can blend into shadows, his coat containing many pockets containing various small and useful items that may help him in tracking the movements of the enemies of the revolution.
He meets his first death on one of these missions. An English spy managed to steal documents from the radical revolutionaries detailing their intentions to execute the king and then declare war on England. If the spy manages to get these documents back to England, they will most likely shed their neutral stance and invade France before the country is ready to defend itself. Gabriel and a small group of loyal soldiers were sent out to track and find the spy and his lackeys and eliminate the threat they present to the Republic of France. But of course there was the matter of an ambush along the way...
