PAST GAME MEMORIES:
Gus is coming in with his memories from Medietas. The most significant thing is that he's learning that he can get close to people and trust them, despite the fact that he thinks he'll end up failing them. He has lost everyone he's ever loved in canon but he knows that these weird worlds don't follow the same rules as his home. This will help him settle into Pathema while also allowing him to reach out towards people. Gus is very reliant on being able to protect those he considers his family, be them related to him or not. Being close to people is important because Gus will need to open up to people or risk driving himself crazy. He also will know a handful of people in Pathema from Meditas. https://dontworkforfools.dreamwidth.org/1290.html - Old Game CR.

SUITABILITY: Gus is very mature for his age. He's done some time in prison and had been forced to grow up quickly in order to take care of his mother and brother. He's very self sufficient and used to not only living on his own but providing for others. He's a young man and completely comfortable with being intimate with others however he'll more than likely find one person to rely on when it comes to his collar. He'll also offer to help others. Psychologically Gus will feel like he has no control however that's been a theme in his life lately and something that he's slowly come to terms with. He's more likely to accept the situation though if he see's a hole in Eros's hold he'll also likely try and exploit it. Not for just himself but for others who are in Pathema.

FIT: Gus can be prickly but deep down he's a great guy and sucks at hiding that fact. Those around him respect him and his ideals. He doesn't do things wastefully but with reason and reasons that others can usually relate too. He also doesn't hide similarities between him and people around him since it's something that can bring them closer together. That said, he does know something about human nature and what people want to hear. If he has a mission or goal in mind he'll tell people what they want to hear and use them for his cause. He doesn't see it as using them because he’ll always give people a choice. He sees it as working with them but in the end they help him, just as he problem helps them. This is honestly a great trait for Gus in any game and very important to who Gus is and why I think he'll fit well with the other people in game. He's confident stubborn and will put himself out there for people, even if it back fries horribly. He can be stupidly reckless which is fun and will be interesting in Path since he's likely to ask for small things that remind him of those he's lost. He's smart but he doesn't always come off that way and he has so many depths for people to uncover and learn about as he opens up to them.

The above sort of bleeds into my next observation about Gus that fits well into Pathema. Despite his rap sheet and the shit he's gotten himself into, Gus is very affectionate and loyal. It is one of his greatest weaknesses as well as the cause of his greatest fear. He'll stand by people even if they don't deserve it, like his brother. He considers himself the sinner in the family and will do what it takes to keep them going as long as his brother and his mother keep their hands clean. This includes getting his brother to return a broken clock he stole from a store. Family is very important to Gus. He loves his mother and doesn't want to disappoint her. He wants to be there for them both and support them and have those he loves thrive in ways that he doesn't think he can. He'll stand by them and he does, even after his mother has been turned and becomes a monster. It takes a lot to have Gus turn against his family. This affection extends to people he's working with and people who he feels share a common goal. He shares the opinion of, we might look different but we're all people. He sees people as they are and not for their skin or their stature.

Finally, once you gain his loyalty it's difficult to lose. Quinlan manages to ascertain Gus's loyalty in a staring contest and that was enough for Gus. He can read people well and it's something he takes pride in. He knows when people are in for their own gains and it doesn't bother him unless they're working against him. This is the biggest reason that he's coming in with memories from Medietas. A handful of people in game has already earned that loyalty and Gus will be figuring that they are the same while realizing that they don't all know who he is anymore. It'll be an interesting dynamic and one I'm excited to play off of.

ORIENTATION: Straight.

He doesn't flirt with girls often, but he isn't chase either. There is one girl in the series where Gus opens up and shows a more sensitive side of himself. This was at a time where he was pushing everyone away but he took interest in her, her school/studies and interests. The fact that her family was so close was a driving force that caused him to open up and fall for her. When he realized that he cared about her he did everything he could to make sure that her whole family was out of the city safely. Gus is able to separate himself from his feelings but he really sucks at hiding that he cares about people. There is no evidence in the show that Gus is gay or bi curious. He only has interest in women. Even when meeting and fanboying over Angel is shown as an innocent display as a love for old and poorly made wrestling movies.

ANYTHING ELSE? Not really. Gus is Human. He does worships Angel de la Plata which is the silver angel and its tattooed across his back.

What 4 items would you like your character to have with them on the island during their stay?

1. His mother (She is infected with The Strain and just a growling monster. He keeps her as a pet in a straight jacket and feeds her blood. She will not infect anyone and will most likely be killed within the first month he's there but DRAMA.)
2. His duffel bag (Filled with two hand guns and 12 silver clips, a silver knife, a silver sword, leather gloves, and the full outfit he uses when fighting the Strigoi. It's his Sun Hunter gear.)
3. A broken clock (from season 1)
4. His orange prison coveralls.

Abilities:

Weapon of Choice: Desert Eagle, M9
Gus has amazing aim, to the point where he can get consecutive head shots with a hand gun, and for a human he’s pretty badass. He’s a boxer and has been trained by Vaun (A Strigoi) to hunt and kill the Strigoi. He was skilled enough to receive the title of Sun Hunter who is one of the few chosen humans who are selected to be trained. He can move fast enough to catch their stingers and is strong enough to rip their stingers from their bodies. (The stingers are about seven feet long.) He has human limitations but he’s strong and fast and sharp.
