Personal Information

This above all: to Thine Own Self Be True ... Monsters don’t choose to be monsters, or do they?

Gadi is a story teller and an enabler. He is there to seek out the stories of others and to share the collected stories. To do so he is an enabler, actively encouraging people to take risks, explore themselves, find out what sort of a monster they are, by assisting or enabling [usually bad] ideas. He spends most of his time cleaning up after neonates and hunts gone wrongs.

He also doubles as an excellent tracker, bloodhound, bodyguard, body removalist, physical/martial instructor and full time troll.

Appearance

Uncle Gadi a solid man man built like the proverbial brick sh*thouse. He is a large smiling man in his late fifties with weatherbeaten leathery crisscrossed with scars from decades of working outdoors and punishment and self harm that he rarely speak about. His hair is greying and his beard has almost turned entirely white. His hardly clothing reflects his lifestyle, usually the faded shirt of a Park Ranger with Community Liason as a faded badge, along with heavy leggings and boots designed to keep out long thorns and venomous spiders. He usually wears an Akubra or a indigenous patterned headband to keep the sweat out of his eyes. When not at work he frequently is in a drizabone or when in his role as an indigenous traditional story teller he wears a cloak of stitched possum skins.

Personality

Uncle Gadi is about as subtle and as polite as a brick to the face. Always easy going he is hard to anger and usually very laid back and seems to exude an aura of geniality about him, at least at first impression. He also seems to consider everyone his distant cousins and is fairly protective of 'little cousins' all fledglings and neonates particularly gangrel and/or crone. Gadi is olfactory dominant, he loves to smell things and he usually takes his time to smell the area he is is. In addition he likes to hug people, a lot, this usually makes kindred very uncomfortable, it’s his way to getting to know people but also so that he can get the smell of the person and committed them to memory.

Gadi is an enabler, he enjoys helping people to grow to explore their monstrous side, and there is almost no plan too dangerous or stupid that he will not assist with.

Mortal World

As a civil activist in several land rights cases in the 1990's before dropping below the radar.

Reflected in professional training and contacts.

Rumours

• Hates owls and anything owl related.
• Nora Quinn and Uncle Gadi are a thing
  • I reckon they’re just fuck buddies
    • Nah they’re totally dating
      • I really wouldn’t call anything they do even slightly romantic, it usually involves violence, break & entering and booze, not in any particular order.
        • Suddenly they both have need for well designed outfits...
• Doesn't mind being distracted by a cute ass as much as he makes out

Inspirations and Soundtrack

• This above all: to Thine Own Self Be True - Polonius [Hamlet]
• Steve Irwin -Crocodile Hunter
• Francis Firebrace - Storyteller
• Feast (2005, dir. John Gulager)
• Grendel - John Gardner’s retelling of Beowulf from the titular monster’s point of view. To grapple with the meaning of what it is to be a monster, the slippery definitions of good and evil, and even the nature of myth itself.
• Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (book not the movies) a monstrous being is brought into the world, as well as who is truly to blame for the creature’s actions once so created. Unlike his film portrayals, the monster is quite intelligent and articulate; he is frustrated by a world that vilifies and alienates him for a life he had no say in living.
