Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

History
1876Gabriel is born the younger of a set of twins, ultimately being the youngest born of the Orpington family. The birth initially had complications but the twins end up coming into the world without any serious consequences.
1881Gabriels older sister goes missing during a shopping trip with their brother Dominic. She is later found and it turns out she was killed by a vampire.
1882Gabriel shows his first signs of magic by causing a flood in the nursery because he and Delphi wanted to go swimming but weren't being permitted.
1884Gabriel comes up with a new sort of game: mattress surfing. This ends in a broken arm eventually and he is banned from doing any more of it.
1885Being nine years old, Gabriel is not at the Coming Out Ball that results in Dominic leaving home. Everything is tense and Gabriel does not like any of it.
1887-1888
First Year		Gabriel goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor. It is rumoured that the Sorting Hat had barely touched his head. He is quick to make both friends and mischief.
1888-1889
Second Year		Gabriel tries out for the Quidditch team and earns a spot as Keeper.
1889-1890
Third Year		Gabe chooses Ancient Runes and Arithmancy as his electives.
1891-1892
Fifth Year		Gabriel switches to a Beater position as he feels it will be more his speed. As has been for most of his school life, Gabriel gets a LOT of tutoring for the OWL exams. He still ends up with a P in Ancient Runes though has passing grades in everything else including three Outstandings. Gabriels pretty proud of himself but his father feels otherwise and informs Gabriel he is no longer permitted to play Quidditch so he can focus on his studies. There is no room for discussion which adds to Gabriels already growing levels of resentment against his father.
1892-1894
Newt Years		Having decided on becoming an Auror, Gabriels class roster reflects this and he continues on in the classes he had scored the best in during his OWLs. He gets a lot of tutoring for the more theoritical side of things and studies his ass off. It pays off as he gets pretty stellar results when his NEWT grades are sent.
1894-1895Gabriel undergoes the application and interview process of getting into the auror training program at the Ministry. It takes a while for him to get his answer but he does eventually get approval to enter the program. It is hard work but Gabriel enjoys it for the most part and is not shy about accepting tutoring help when it comes to his weaker points.

Personality
Gabriel is a chaos gremlin that tends to act first and think later. He is resourceful and has a lot of street smarts though is weaker when it comes to more theoretical academics. He enjoys fun and is quite playful and outgoing. He is pretty relaxed in most aspects of his life but does take his training seriously for the most part.
