Physical Description (Angel Form)
Gabriel has no gender markings, lacking both nipples and a groin. His chest is therefore smooth and his groin and butt have what is often called the "Ken doll" effect. They're completely smooth. His body type, in so far as he has one without the gender markings, is extremely effeminate. Throughout history, he has been called both male, female, and gender neutral more male than female. His height would be considered very tall for an American woman and above average for a man.
The angel has perfect skin and a barely noticeable tan on his Caucasian skin. When his body is exposed, the tan is even throughout all of it. Despite that, he still manages to look rather fair. He has long wavy light blond hair that he keeps in a ponytail with a simple white tie. It is tied at the base of the neck and the ponytail reaches down to the base of his butt. If it were to come down for some reason, it would reach just a bit further due to the way he keeps it up. He has eyes that are as effeminate as the rest of his body, and they care maturity far beyond his apparent young adult years. They carry a critical kindness to them, and are always serious. Their color is emerald green.
Gabriel has a somewhat complicated looking outfit. The main piece is a pristine white dress-like robe and doesn't seem to be capable of being sullied. If he spends extended time on the human plane it can become dingy, and blood splatter will show just as well as it would anywhere else. The inner lining appears to be metallic and gold. The sleeves are wide, about half as over-sized as commonly seen priest or pagan robes. The outer edges of both the bottom and the top have gold embroidery. It is somehow actual gold formed into thread for this. All the embroidery is fashioned in a way that could remind florists of lilies. In addition, upright crosses are worked into the pattern at the bottom, which is long enough to conceal most of his feet when they are hanging downwards. The embroidery is about an inch tall at both locations.
The top of his robe is rather wide and has a thin gold border on the outside. However, this is rarely visible as Gabriel wears a shawl like piece over the top of his outfit. The shawl is all one piece, so he would have to pull it off over his head to remove it. It has extra fabric rolls a fair bit at the top, creating a kind of cloak top effect. The shawl is pitch black, as pristine in that color as the white of his outfit is. The rolled part is of the same oddly actual gold metallic as the lining of his robe as is the shawl's lining. There is a large ornate cross stitched to either side of the center on the front. The shawl hangs 2/3rd down Gabriel's stomach and the crosses start about seven centimeters down from the folded over area, ending the same distance up from the plain bottom. On the back is a cross as large as the ones on the front, but it is dead center. There is some ornate embroidery to either side of it, vaguely resembling both stylized wings and a stencil glow effect.
Gabriel has a very long double-sided silk cloth tied around his upper waist, dividing his robe into two distinct parts. It means the top of the robe seems more a blouse with the bottom functioning almost as a dress. The part of the cloth that shows the most is the same black as his shawl, and embroidery reminiscent of lilies with crosses worked in decorates it throughout. Of note is that the crosses always point upwards. The other side of the cloth is the same metallic gold repeated on the rest of his outfit. This long cloth is tied in the back and extends both up and down, defying the laws of physics. The part that hangs down follows them well enough, and is wider at the bottom. The part that goes up seems to float in the gentle wind illusion that surrounds the angel's entire being. It loops at the top and hovers above his head by about an inch from the lower part. It is a bit forward from his back, meaning his arms, when spread to the side, come behind it.
The angel has six pristine white feathered wings whose construct seem similar to a hawk's wings. Their coloring often causes them to be described as dove wings, although they are a fair bit more pure seeming than a dove's wings are. They seem to be attached at roughly the same area on his back, around the shoulder blades. How they manage to come out and function despite the outfit is both a mystery and a sign of his divinity. If you were to take a close look, they seem to melt through the clothes so they may attach to his body. The top set of wings are attached in a way that allow them to raise up and fold down, concealing much of his upper body and crossing over his chest. They are extremely long and the tips are parallel to his lower legs. The bottom set goes down and folds in a similar fashion, concealing much of his lower body and his bare feet. The final two, in the center, are at full spread when the surroundings allow it. It should be noted none of them flap, and are indeed for show. Gabriel is more than able to "put them away" for ease of movement.
Power seems to gather around Gabriel's head. It is a holy power of light, although it has no true religious connections. Humans do tend to interpret this energy as a ring or halo. Its worth note that this energy is around Gabriel's entire being, but a bit more of the focus is on the head.
Physical Description (Human Form)
Gabriel's human form itself has no signs of divinity, and any signs there of fall under his Abilities/Powers. Gabriel favors a form that is within tall reason for females and average for males. While he can take any form when his powers are at full, his preferred and easiest to take form is the closest to his angelic form. This means he tends to appear as a small chested woman with long wavy blond hair kept in a ponytail. His eyes remain green. He tends to wear blouses and non-descript pants, and has a favor of black in his outfit. He rarely wears jewelry, but when he does he favors non-gaudy crosses and lilies.
Weapons
Gabriel does not carry any weapons on his person. His ability to summon them falls under Abilities/Powers, his ability to use them falls under Skills. He does possess a weapon unique to him among his brethren, though.
Like the myths surrounding the figure by this name indicate, Gabriel possesses a horn. It is a simple horn that doesn't appear to be made for playing music, and is solid gold and indestructible. The design, as mentioned, is simple, and come down to a stick about as long as his arm that begins to widen about halfway down. While not able to directly summon the end of the world, it does play a part in it. It is basically a calm to arms to the heavenly host. It can, however, be used for other purposes, such as calling allies or delivering messages straight to a person's mind, eliminating the clumsiness of mortal words. It has to do with the tone sent through it, which consists of feeling more than true tonal difference.
Abilities/Powers
Gabriel possesses the potential for all the powers one would expect a Seraph to have. Enormous holy strength and the power of light incarnate.
A key power not obviously related to his status as an angel is the ability to sense when mortals have a lean towards the Virtue of Diligence. He is by the nature of his being drawn to such individuals and is more able to appear before them and guide them, although like most the Seraphs he tends to have a dislike of direct interference with most humans. While the Virtue of Diligence may overlap into some of the Sins depending on the way it expresses, it doesn't hamper Gabriel's harmonization with such individuals.
Beyond that, Gabriel is able via the power of light to summon weapons. He doesn't seem to have a distinct preference for any, and is able to use his holy energies as a weapon just as well as physical ones.
Skills
Of the seven Seraphim, Gabriel is the most eloquent. He can turn a phrase beautifully, and is more than capable of manipulation via wordplay. He is good at leading people down the first few miles of the path of light, teaching them it is good, and letting them go on their way from there. He is able to use a lot of secular weapons, but his build means lighter ones are more preferable.
Gabriel, being non-human as he is, tends to have the skills he would need at the time. This isn't to say he can do everything and defiantly not to say he can't be overpowered in many ways. It just makes creating a list very difficult. His strength, and the ones worth mentioning, center around menial tasks or ones that require hard work.
Personality[/b]
Gabriel seems to completely lack a sense of humor. He is perhaps too serious, too dedicated to what he feels he must do. For that matter, everything he does, he feels he must do. He possesses an icy tongue towards those that do not work their hardest, and he has definite ideas about what one should put their energy into. He finds the statement "give it 110%" to be a folly of humanity, but with how he acts one almost has to wonder if he really gets the statement of it. If you don't give something your absolute best and end up in trouble, Gabriel is the sort that would leave you to die.
This makes him seem somewhat flat, but there does exist grey areas. He will live by his standard for mortals only so far as it doesn't interfere with his standard. He will help those who are lazy if it furthers his own goals, which he has blind dedication towards. He is as stubborn as a rock and once he decides something is worth doing he will put everything into it, blinding himself to the problems with his course of action. He is critical and a harsh task manager, and not unknown for micromanagement.
History
Gabriel claims to have been created by the Judeo-Christian god as one of seven key signs of his love for Man. He claims that when he and his six brethren arch-angels came into existance, the world was good. He claims that when the angel of Humility forsook his purpose and fell into position as the demon of Pride, it was the first stain on existance. God then created Man, and from the Sin of pride grew six more, creating a despicable balance between good and evil in the form of the Arch-Angels and Demon Lords, Gabriel's counterpoint being the Demon Lord Belphegor.
History advanced as it will, with the angels constantly attempting to guide humanity to the path their Creator and Father intended. Each Arch-Angel tried to lead humanity down a path of virtue, but it was a thin lead at best. At some points of history one can well imagine, the Demons took a lead. The angels respected God's blind faith in humanity... until about fifty years ago. When God went missing. This was kept from the lesser angels for some time, but it eventually came out when the Demon Lords learned of the information. The decision was made to test humanity by finding seven vessels who could lean either way in regards to great Sin or Virtue.
This got lost in translation somewhere down the lines and the Demon Lords got the incorrect assumption of what was going on. This lead to years of hunting humans that seemed to have psychic potential, and the lives of dozens of children and families being made into living hells. Among those victims was the Winchester family. It was about the time of the disaster with the boy named Samuel Winchester that one of the Demon Lords came upon the conclusion they were going about their attempts in the wrong way. It was not deemed important to inform most of the demon brethren of this fact. After all, the psychics could still be used in the fight even if they were not the main targets.
Gabriel was the first to find the human with potential to lean towards Sin or Virtue. He used his power to force an occurance in the human. The next act they performed that followed the Sin or Virtue would draw the one that won out forth as a powerful side. By the acts committed by this side, the heavenly host would weigh humanity's potential. As for the problem of the Winchesters, some arguing and point making by some higher ranked but still lesser angels made it agreed that they had to be protected. One was still being targeted by the Demon Lords, and the fact was if either were to die there were high odds they could be used to skew the results of the "test".
The humans found to serve in the experiments were sent away from their home dimension. Quite simply put, it would be far too easy for them to not be subjected to the type of stress the arch angels felt humanity shined the worst under in their parent dimension. After all, the fate of humanity could not be trusted to a life of ease.

Alright, a little bit of clarification on details of the application. Me and Jilak have gone and went heavy AU with Supernatural. So heavy AU that we don't even regard our Supernatural canons as anything but AU (meaning I'm adjusting the character listing and the canon versions are up for grabs without our permission, although Jilak still has AU John on reserve). While characters like Sam, Dean, and Castiel are too canon be be anything but, the angels only matches to their canon counterparts are name and connection to Castiel.
What this means is that we don't think Gabriel or the other Seraphim are canon (and this has been approved by the site admin) seeing as how my Link and Zelda from Rebirth of Destiny are not canon. Canons that existed in S1 are all treated as such, and Castiel is also treated as such as he is more or less the same. Thanks for your understanding!
I have no images of Gabriel in any form, but you might be able to get some ideas if you researched him.
