Age: 30 seasons
Species: Hedgehog
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:
Age: 30 seasons
Species: Hedgehog
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:
Gabe is larger than most hogs though not overly so, but much stronger than most and well built. He has deep green eyes that betray both the wisdom and fierceness behind them. Due to some genetic fluke his spikes, as with all males and a few females of his bloodline, are more dense, and hard than others of his species giving them a black color. This, of course, is the reason for his family name. Due to their high density they act like natural armor even more so than normal spikes. This is one hedgehog that’s not easy to stab in the back. His only clothing are his broad belt made of eel skin and his black spiked iron crown, witch is similar to the crown adorning the head of the Statue of Liberty.Belongings:
Two single bladed axes with 2, 3 inch spikes opposite each blade that can penetrate most armor. They are perfectly sized and balanced for throwing or paw to paw combat. Blades, spikes, and shafts are one solid peace of steel. These are kept thrust in his belt when not in use.Job or Position:
Hedgehog Rabble Chieftain of 100 hogs (a rabble is a large group of hogs)Personality:
A fair but firm leader he is loved and respected by all good beasts who know him, and feared by any vermin lucky enough to have survived an encounter with him. Quick to laughter (witch in his case is loud, and hard) he is rarely seen without a grin. He is a doting father, loving husband, and teasing son. His skill in battle is what legends are made of. Normally mellow and jolly by nature he transforms when his warrior blood is roused. He becomes decisive and direct, expecting exact obedience from his rabble. Though not known for his strategic prowess he knows a good plan when he hears one. And when actually engaged in battle he becomes almost giddy, like a babe with a new toy, laughing uproariously, and bellowing challenges to his enemy. Though fearless in battle he is not without conscience. He has never killed without good reason. It is always out of necessity.History and Background Information:
Born to Chief Gordi and his wife Grace, Gabe was a rabble hog born and bred. From the beginning he seemed prone to greatness. From the moment he could lift his father’s axes he would run off with one or the other and pretend he was his father, battling imaginary enemies. Of course this got him in some trouble, but not much. Mostly his mother was worried he would hurt himself and she being the feisty female she is Gordi, who took his son’s early interest in weapons as a sign of strength, would indulge his wife and scold his son, but sneak in some winks to encourage him.Any other details:
One day when Gabe was 10 seasons old, his father decided it was time to make his son’s interest in in weapons active instead of passive. His first day of training nothing special, until his father pined a leaf to a tree and said, “Throw!” The leaf was split right down the middle. All his father could say was, “I see you have been practicing.” Eventually Gabe would be able to hit the same spot three times with ether paw. To this day he has never been beaten at the competitions that always come about when two or more hog clans meat. It was at such an occasion in his twenty-second season that he met his wife, Honeysuckle. Long story short, three seasons later they were wed with twin hog babes, Spike and Gabby.
5 seasons later Gordi grew ill and died. In accordance with rabble law Gabe and two others were nominated for Chieftain and it was put to a vote. The vote was unanimous. Gabriel “Twin Blades” Blackspike was now Chieftain. The rabble is now traveling south into Mossflower country.
