'''Given name:''' Gospel Gestalt
 
 
 
'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Gos-pell Gesh-talt]''
 
 
 
'''Nameday:''' 31st Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon 1552 (7/31)
 
 
 
'''Age:''' 25
 
 
 
'''Biological Age:''' 20 Due to the Archon Louisoux's Aetheric Rift.
 
 
 
'''Place of birth:''' A medical facility in the city of Sharlayan.
 
 
 
'''Current residence:''' Unknown.
 
 
 
'''Starting City:''' Gridania.
 
 
 
'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' The Immortal Flames.
 
 
 
'''Employment:''' Self-Employed.
 
 
 
'''Marital Status:''' Single, uninterested.
 
 
 
'''Religion/philosophy:''' Not a devote follower of the Twelve and often questions others about their devotion to their matron. He does believe the Twelve exist but feels they are no different than the rest of the tribes. He has a strong belief that the Twelve are no different than the Primals aside from being more peaceful in nature. He is well aware that much like Primals, the Twelve too drink from lands Aether for sustenance. Since he knows  that Aether comes from stones known as Aetheryte, this has lead Gospel to believe that there is a source buried within the land that is responsible for producing the worlds Aether and is the true power in which the Twelve rely on.
 
 
 
*If he were to pick a deity to follow, he would choose Thaliak, the Scholar do to him being the Patron Deity of his birth city and also because he values knowledge above all else.
 
 
 
'''Laterality:''' Ambidextrous, favors left hand.
 
 
 
'''IC Journal:''' (To be used at a later date.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
==== Abilities ====
 
 
 
*'''Thaumaturge (Black Mage)''' – Gospel’s main discipline lies in Thaumaturgy and Black Magic. Having been born with a natural affinity towards magick, it didn’t take long for him to perfect this art. Fully aware of its destructive nature, he tries his best to refrain from using it unless his hand is forced.
 
 
 
*'''Conjurer (White Mage)''' – Conjury and White Magick were soon to follow after Gospel felt confident to move on from his studies in Black Magick. He was able to perfect his knowledge in the healing arts in a much faster time frame then he did with Thaumaturgy and Black Magick due to having secured a private study and tutor during his hospitalization early on in his teenage youth.
 
 
 
*'''Arcanist(Summoner)''' – A discipline he has only just begun to show openly.
 
 
 
 
 
*'''Botany''' – Though lacking the physical endurance to perform the job for extended amounts of time, Gospel has a very wide knowledge of Botany and Biology from books he read and often uses this knowledge to gather herbs and spices for use with Alchemy.
 
 
 
*'''Fisher''' – Probably the only outdoor hobby he ever did as a kid. Fishing was one of the more relaxed activities Gospel enjoyed in his youth because it allowed him continue his reading while waiting for fish to bite. He also is happy of this trade because it sparked his fascination with the sea and the creatures that lived within.
 
 
 
*'''Alchemy''' – Probably the only craft aside from Gold Smithing that Gospel ever really enjoyed. Like with most things in his youth, Alchemy was just another thing he had to learn while he practiced Conjury and Thaumaturgy. Gospel tends to lean towards more of the biological side alchemy than say the drug field.
 
 
 
*'''Gold Smithing''' – This is the second craft that Gospel preforms by hand. His skills in this trade are rather unorthodox because instead of making jewelry and other common things. He instead uses the craft as a means to enhance his studies in Magitek. Examples would include: Making memory chips for Vanguards and Mammets, along with special attachments and weaponry.
 
 
 
*'''Dollmaking''' – Ever since he was a boy, he had a love and knack for building and repairing dolls. This ranged from simple children’s toys like porcelain dolls to the automatons known as Mammets and even the feared and dreaded Vanguards of the Imperial nation of Garlemald. Gospel can almost always been seen with a Mammet or some sort of Automaton in his company and out of all his crafts, He prides himself the most in this field.
 
 
 
*'''Linguistics''' - A hobby he learned when he was a boy and still practices to this day. He has learned to understand a myriad of different languages mostly relating to native beast tongue (Sylph, Kobold, Moogle etc.) and older languages of the main races. However, he seems to struggle sometimes with pronunciations despite being fluent in the understanding of the many languages and often opts to respond in Eorzean rather then embarrass himself trying the latter.
 
 
 
 
 
Less Useful:
 
 
 
*Has some-what bad eyesight do to him handicapping himself with an eye patch to cover his heterochromia.<br>
 
 
 
*Is very weak physically. Has trouble with lifting anything over half his body weight and lacks endurance to continue jobs that require physical labor for extended amounts of time.<br>
 
 
 
*Is incredibly introverted. He will often refuse to cooperate with or seek help from others. He often tries to hide his reliance on people by replacing them with magick or having his automatons provide the help for him.<br>
 
 
 
==== Appearance ====
 
 
 
'''Height:''' Very Short (by Hyur standards). 5 fulms 3 ilms.
 
 
 
'''Weight:''' Less than average. 105 ponz.
 
 
 
'''Body:''' Thin. Average muscle, smooth in shape.
 
 
 
'''Hair:''' long, silver, naturally straight and kept in good condition.
 
 
 
'''Eyes:''' Slitted pupil in left eye, bold heterochromia: left eye is purple, right eye is red.
 
 
 
'''Skin:''' Pale, smooth.
 
 
 
'''Scars/Markings:''' No noticeable markings on the face, save for a vertical scar running down the left side of his eye with a few marks which almost appear to be like burns. Left pupil has an unnatural slit which could be compared to being similar in shape to some Sunseeker Miqo’te. Body possesses a few scars from being battle hardened in his practices of magick and overall way of living.
 
 
 
'''Clothes:''' Generally expensive clothes that are black or some deep shade of red or purple. Rarely seen in heavier gear.
 
 
 
'''Voice:''' Light, soft but clear. Light feminine touch to his voice. [ [http://chirb.it/kmbCN4 Tetsuya Kakihara; Taken from BlazBlue's Jin Kisaragi]]

==== Personality ====
 
 
 
'''Behaviours:'''<br>
 
:Gospel is an obscenely introverted individual. He doesn't always do well in large social gatherings (and sometimes even in small ones), often staying out of conversation and simply observing unless he's approached or intrigued. He also has trouble displaying physical emotion and will often always avoid eye contact or will keep his back or side turned to whom he speaks to.
 
 
 
:He's very blunt, often not caring that what he's said or done could be considered rude, and he can be brutally honest when he feels strongly about something. he also teases those he identifies as friends or possible friends, to a fault however, and may unintentionally come off as a bit mean when he is just playing.
 
 
 
:Mostly passive in nature. Gospel will often try keep peace when conflict arises and will try to avoid starting a fight if it can be avoided. Usually if a problem is directed at him, he will try to change the subject or goad people into a more peaceful behavior. If his hand is forced then he will quietly remind those that aggravated him that the situation can still be avoided if they cease assault. However, he shows little care if aggression is shown towards others and will leave them to their devices so long as it doesn’t affect him personally.
 
 
 
:Forming bonds with others is a struggle, due to his communication ineptitude and his apparent inability to share things about himself without direct prompting/questioning. He enjoys observing and listening to people, but sometimes has trouble showing sympathy or empathy, even though he feels it. Another contributing factor is his past.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Morals:'''<br>
 
:His overall intentions are to do good but only if it suits his interests.
 
:Alignment: [http://easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Mind:'''<br>
 
:Highly educated and well taught during his sheltered youth. He often views things in a philosophical manner.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Quirks:'''<br>
 
:Generally quite prudish, from his dressing to simply being embarrassed easily. Flirting is awkward for him, and often ends in him simply embarrassing himself or saying something that makes the other person uncomfortable or just laugh, so he tends to just avoid it.
 
:He does not like being touched in any fashion by others. It won't usually anger him, but it will leave him obviously uncomfortable. There are a couple friends who are exceptions.
 
:He is a bit fickle, and can disappear for days at a time, usually off excavating or getting some much needed time alone.
 
 
 
=== History ===
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
'''Brief Version:'''
 
 
 
:Gospel was born to family of nobles by the name of Gestalt, in the city Sharlayan. This mysterious family of very few has been regarded as a group of rich and powerful sorcerers, having advanced knowledge in Arcanum,, Alchemy, Necromancy and even the Garlean trade of Magitek. The families largest financial success being in the automaton business. Being the owners of such a business has allowed the Gestalt family to be almost completely self-efficient in terms of needing to hire butlers and even workers for the families business to some degree. Gospel lived happily with his Mother and Father, Mathias and Izabella Gestalt for five years, until the recent war came to Sharalyan. Most of the cities society either fled or fought to protect their home. The Gestalt family fearing for their own safety, fled to Gridania. The family settled down into a new life while opening a new business in Ul'dah and continued on as normal.
 
 
 
 
 
:After a few months from settling down in their new home, Mathias personally taught Gospel about the arts of Arcanum and Thaumaturgy at the early age of Seven. The young boy had a natural affinity to both of the arts but was forced to study the crafts rigorously for Five years until he would become what most would call an adept of the skills at the age of Twelve. Mathias had other plans for his son however, wanting to uncover the power of the Primals in their strongest form, he attempted to bargain with an Ascian in hopes of uncovering their secrets and to pass on his new acquired knowledge to his son. Mathias was successful in locating and learning how to call forth an Ascian. Taking his son and a small hand of followers in secret, they called forth the Ascian but things turned for the worst when he tried to strike a deal with the creature. The cloaked monster lashed out in rage at being summoned without its consent and killed all the followers in an overly gruesome mess. Mathias managed to escape from the room but only to abandon his only child in his cowardice. Gospel being left alone with the Ascian, cowarded in fear against a wall as the frightening figure approached him. The Ascian carresed child's face with its hand in a twisted act of motherly love only to turn around and stab the child through his left eye with a boney finger. The creature then vanished, sparing the boy but leaving him forever cursed because of his fathers insolence.
 
 
 
 
 
:Gospel continued to live the next Six years of his life in a private phrontistery. His father during these years isolated himself from his son, unable to forgive himself or even face his own child. Gospel's only source of comfort during these years was his mother, who would continue to teach and afford private tutors to help educate the boy in other magick fields. During most of her visits, Gospel's mother taught him about the art of dollmaking which was a favorite past time of hers. This hobby would eventually become the boys most cherished talent as Izabella continued to teach him different constructing techniques, all while helping to push along his studies in various magick arts until he was able to be released from the phrontisteries care.
 
 
 
 
 
:Instead of choosing to return home, Gospel made it clear to Izabella that he refused to be associated with his father who was still too much of a coward to confront him. Receiving her blessing and having her financial support, Gospel set out towards Ul'dah where he purchased a manor, and continued to fulfill his studies and hobbies in relative peace.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Dalamud Events:'''
 
 
 
:During the hour of reckoning, Gospel made his way to the Carteneau Flats along with two others. His assistant, Victorica Amaranthus and a close friend named Remilia Levana. Gospel’s original intent was to go to the Carteneau Flats to witness the ritual of the Twelve and bare sight to their summoning. Not soon after their arrival, the Eorzean Alliance and Empire's VIIth Legion had begun to clash and the casualties began to quickly stack. Gospel became separated from Victorica and Remilia amongst the chaos after a Magitek cannon was fired upon their location.
 
  
  
:Lost from his only close friends, he searched blindly for them only to be quickly swept up into the fight along with everyone else. With no choice but to fight for his life, Gospel retaliated accordingly with power magicks but during his assault, his right arm was sniped by an Imperials stray bullet. The wound greatly enfeebled Gospel by leaving his right arm unresponsive and causing severe pain. Despite his suffering though, he managed to push through with determined thoughts to find the ones he was separated from.

:Eventually a large spire detached from Dalamud and with a powerful seismic shock, caused a sudden halt to the fighting. Being thrown through the air, Gospel was rag dolled across the field along with many others from the sheer force the spires impact. Too weak to continue fighting any longer, he could only lay there and watch as Dalamud broke apart and gave birth to elder primal Bahamut. Enraged after aeons of duress, Bahamut unleashed its wrath upon the realm, spewing forth endless fire and destruction. Still on the ground and gripping his wounded arm, Gospel watched on with mixed feelings of both fear and awe as the creature continued its attack. Eventually a man by the name of Louisoix quickly intervened and conjured a barrier to protect Gospel along with whatever else remained of the Eorzean Alliance, and then began the arcane rite that channeled the power of the Twelve to reseal Bahamut. The sheer force of the primal, however, was too strong for even the Archon, and his efforts ultimately failed.

:Feeling that the end was finally near, Gospel closed his eyes and sighed softly, ready to accept his fate. However, as he sighed, a strange light engulfed him. looking around himself in confusion he was warped away into an aetherial rift, where he and many others were to remain untouched by the passing of the seasons until it was once again safe to emerge...
