The Basketball Player

"I just think the world would be better if we were all nicer to each other."

Name: Gavriel Agosti

Nickname: Gabbi

Age: 15

High school year: Sophomore

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Media. He always wears a cross necklace, but sometimes he keeps it under his shirt.

Personality: Though Gabbi is kind and optimistic, he's naïve and often oblivious to other people's feelings. He doesn't always think about the consequences of his actions before doing things, and when receiving negative impact, he tends to minimize it, even at the cost of hurting someone's feelings further. His actions are done with good intentions though, even if they're not achieving the result he expects. Gabbi has somewhat of a savior complex, and he tries to help anyone who he thinks needs it, sometimes to the point of being forceful about it. He struggles to see things from other people's perspective, and usually only thinks of his own point of view. Though he may not always understand the weight and importance of serious topics, Gabbi genuinely wants to help people and spread love and positivity.

Background: Gabbi was adopted as a baby by a friend of his parents after they passed. He was raised by his adoptive mother and sister into a religious lifestyle. His sister, Vivi, married a woman when Gabbi was a child, and his family was always a supporter of the LGBTQ community, while still being religious and attending a church that shared their values and beliefs. Gabbi was best friends with a girl named Agnes throughout his childhood, but since he started high school a year before her, his popularity grew as he joined the basketball team and when he made new friends, the two grew apart. Gabbi dated one of the cheerleaders for a while until the two broke up. The news of them being together, as well as the news of their breakup, spread throughout the school, despite Gabbi's attempts to stop it, and eventually people began speculating about one of them cheating on the other. Gabbi tried to ignore all of the drama, especially after his mother fell ill towards the beginning of his sophomore year. He kept his family situation a secret, but Vivi and her wife, Liliana, became his main caretakers once his mother had to go to the hospital more frequently.

Likes: Basketball and sports in general, bets, pranks, comedy shows, dogs, karaoke, holidays

Dislikes: Any show or movie with dark themes, rice, olives, carrots, people who are mean to his sister, anyone who uses religion as an excuse for hatred.

Theme song: Get it Right - Glee

Scenario 1: You're a student in Gabbi's year and you know him since he is a popular athlete. After an unfortunate incident, you need to go to the hospital (either for yourself or to visit a family member or a friend). While you wait at the hospital, you decide to walk around. As you're walking, you're surprised to see Gabbi sitting in front of one of the rooms. He seems nervous as he stares at the door and fiddles with his hands. He suddenly stands up and as he turns to leave, he spots you.

Scenario 2: As one of the popular kids, you're familiar with Gabbi. You could even say you two are friends. Lately you've been hanging out more, and as you grew closer, you developed a crush on him. Knowing about his past relationship, you were hesitant to confess to him, but eventually you gain the courage to do so, and you invite him to spend some time together alone with the plan of confessing to him.

Scenario 3: Make your own.
