Hair Color and Style:
Gabe has had long hair as far back as he can remember and, though the length has varied, he's currently leaving it just past his shoulders. Good, thick hair runs in his family, as does the dark color it is, showing a brown sheen in some lights. He does tie it back on occasion, whether in a low pony or in the newly popular 'manbun' to keep it out of his eyes and face. He has the same facial hair almost constantly, around his mouth and onto his chin, but he will shave it or let his sideburns grow in depending on his mood.
Facial Description:
He's all angles and sharp edges when it comes to his pretty face. Strong, high cheeks that leads into a marble jaw, a straight nose with wider nostrils, and a chin that has a very slight cleft. His lips have shape and are fairly full for a man, a very light shade of pink that goes well with his olive skin. Gabriel has a strong forehead and brow that hoods his eyes slightly, his brows just as dark as his hair and lacking much shape. His eyes are his stunning feature; almond shaped, thick lashes, and a very light shade of blue that runs on his mother's side. The only real flaw most would see in his face are his teeth; an off white and a tad crooked due to his parents being unable to afford dentists when he and his siblings were children.
Body Description:
Much like his father and brother, Gabe is very tall and broad. His shoulders are strong, leading into toned arms, a wide chest, and strong abdominal muscles. The Italian is built very well due to constant work outs, his career, and from playing football in both college and high school. Being athletic and active by nature has kept him in good shape, which has helped him a lot in his careers of choice.
Clothing Style:
While he will dress up a bit if need be, Gabe likes to stick to easy and laid-back fashions. Jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes that he can also work out in. Speaking of which, the man is also a sucker for sweat pants, basketball shorts, and hoodies. If he does need to dress up, he'll switch to a button down and a nice pair of jeans or dress pants, and maybe tie his hair back depending on the occasion. For work purposes, he does stick to dark colors and other more imposing outfits, knowing intimidation is key.

Makeup:
Uh, no.
Tattoos/ Piercings/ Scars:
One of the first things you'll notice about Gabe is the rather large tattoo he has; intricate tribal markings that branch from his right pectoral, over his shoulder, and all the way down to his right wrist. It doesn't house much meaning besides the fact that he likes ink, and really loves the way tribal tattoos look. Gabriel has no piercings, but has a few scars. One is small and hard to see on his jaw from a fight in high school, the other on the back of his left ankle where he tore a muscle in football and had to have surgery.
Scent:
Crisp but still musky, the scent he wears and buys regularly from the local mall isn't a bad one. He likes the aroma and will usually put on a couple of spritz of it before work and after he's out of the shower.
:ATTITUDE:
History:
Gabriel's parents, Antonio and Grazia, came from a small providence in Italy. The happy couple moved to the Americas soon after their marriage, settling into a small piece of home in Manhattan aptly named 'Little Italy'. The first few years of their marriage were happy and love filled; Grazia owned a small seamstress business from home and Antonio worked for local shops and restaurants where he could. They lived in a small, two-bedroom apartment where life was simple and the neighbors were kind.
Three years after they were married, Grazia was expecting their first child and nine months later, Gabriel's older brother Luca was born. Luca was healthy and strong, as was Gabriel when he was born. The family was doing well on money, Antonio even opened their own restaurant right under their apartment building. Everything was going well, everyone was happy.
It wasn't until about a year later when Grazia became pregnant with their third and final child. Everything was going amazing for the most part, until she went into early labor and gave birth to little Alma Maria Castro two months early. A slew of health problems, sleepless nights, and medical bills came with the baby's birth. The family then lost money, a lot of it, trying to keep Alma alive and well while juggling their home life.
Alma came home a month and a half later but had to have frequent doctor's visits. Antonio almost lost the restaurant several times, Luca and Gabe had to start searching for work to help support the family. It became rough, the kids shared clothes that were ratty and torn, ate only the bare minimal, and all but struggled through the winters.
Once Alma reached six and her health problems started to calm did things slowly start going back to normal. The family could afford new clothes and larger supplies of food, though their budget was still strict. Luca wound up getting a scholarship for wrestling and football, as did Gabriel, and things were really starting to look up. Antonio's restaurant, aptly named 'Antonio's', was doing fantastic and Grazia could finally take a break and take care of the house.
And then, in college, Gabriel tore a muscle in his leg that made him unable to follow football professionally. Luca went on to do so, feeling terrible that his brother couldn't even if Gabe pushed him more than anyone else. Unable to follow his planned path, Gabe started searching for jobs around town and was given one at a famous nightclub in Manhattan called 'Gyro' as a bouncer. It paid fairly well and he was able to move closer to work, but still be close to home so he could visit.
At the moment, he lives in Manhattan and goes to work every night, works out regularly, and gets a phone call from his mother about four days out of the week. She loves to pressure him for marriage and grandchildren, as Luca is married and Alma is engaged, but Gabe seems to have trouble in that field. He does, however, manage to get a big break when the club is rented out for an actress's birthday party and he's given a job offer.
Personality:
Though Gabriel's job is all about intimidation, stoic faces, and scuffed knuckles (if the need arises), he's honestly a gentle giant. A softy at his core, he's weak to cute kids, furry animals, and comedy movies. Granted, he can be moody at times about certain things like football, a few bits of his past, and family - he still tries to laugh and smile. He's cold at the start, a bit distant as he believes in professional relationships before friendship, but he can't help soft spots he gets for certain people.
Gabriel likes dry humor and sarcastic jokes, and having a quick wit both got him in trouble and saved his ass in high school on multiple occasions. He has a protective streak which helps with his job, a self sacrificing type of personality, as well as being fiercely loyal, all adding up to a 'puppy dog personality' as his brother calls it.
Gabe loves guys nights, drinking and joking over football. Loves to play sports and watch them, joke around and wrestle with friends. He prefers blondes over brunettes, as he's previously said, and likes to pick out cute girls at bars. Whilst he's not one for one night stands, he has given his number out plenty of times to girls who he finds attractive. He's a gentleman, because heaven forbid his mother finds out he done something un-chivalrous, and believes in opening doors and being polite.
Likes:
Loud music, old cars, comedy movies, dry humor, laughing, kids, animals, take-out food, working out, comfortable clothes, plush pillows, blondes, beer (over hard liquor), football, sports, wrestling, cooking.
Dislikes:
Cheaters (relationships, sports, etc.), chick-flicks, tight suits, too many lazy days in a row, 'fake Italian food' (the only good kind is the kind his mother makes, as he says), paper cuts, modern rap music.
Fears:
While he doesn't care if something happens to him, he's terrified of something happening to his family or those close to him.
Hobbies:
Working out, lifting weights, football, watching movies, working on cars, cooking.
:RELATIONSHIP:
Family:
Antonio Rossi Castro/ Alive/ Father/ Gabriel's father is known for his silly antics and heart of gold. He, like Grazia, welcomes anyone into the family that the kids bring in. He loves to cook, and is probably who Gabe got his knack for cooking from. He owns a restaurant in Little Italy that is named after him, and is proud of all his children regardless of what they do. He works for everything in his life and says the greatest thing he's ever earned was Grazia's hand in marriage.
Face Claim: Joe Mantegna
Grazia Anicelli Spiro-Castro/ Alive/ Mother/ The woman who Gabe will swear is a Saint, she dotes on her family and children as much as possible. She has a huge heart and loves all of her children, and anyone they bring home. She jokingly says that she's had three children, but probably has over twenty due to their friends and such. She constantly bugs them all for grandchildren, Gabe being her favorite to pick on as he's always been a mama's boy. Gabriel often calls her if he needs advice. The funny thing about Gabe's new job is that his mother is a fan of Evelyn Hall.
Face Claim: Idina Menzel
Luca Antonio Castro/ Alive/ Older Brother/ Luca was born two years before Gabe was and the two have a healthy sibling relationship. Constant teasing, wrestling, and blows to the other. Luca teases Gabe for his long hair and Gabe teases him about his lack of hair, which starts a brief argument before Grazia shuts the two up. Luca is currently playing football professionally and got married a year ago to a girl he had been dating in high school.
Face Claim: Dwayne Johnson
Alma Maria Castro/ Alive/ Younger Sister/ About to graduate college for biology and going on to get her PhD, Alma wishes to help other children who were born prematurely like her and now suffer with health problems. Due to her being sick for a large portion of her life, Alma is fairly thin and young looking even though she's almost twenty-six, she really looks eighteen. A sweet heart, she loves her family, her puppy, and her fiance.
Face Claim: Vanessa Hudgens
Distant Family/ Other Family:
Hailey Bianca Stark/ Alive/ Sister-in-Law/ The girl that Luca dated off and on in high school married him the moment he asked. Hailey loves Luca no doubt, and she loves his family almost as much. She visits frequently, and the happy couple are currently trying for their first baby.
Face Claim: Lana Del Rey
Vincent Tyler Hodgins/ Alive/ Sister's Fiance/ Gabe constantly jokes about Alma hitting it big. Vincent worships the ground Alma walks on, a young man inheriting his father's large business and taking over the family name, Alma is basically set for life. Vince is a polite young man that comes around every now and then, but leaves most of the wedding planning to Alma.
