Gabriel Ortiz Iglesias

Name: Gabriel Ortiz Iglesias
Age: 36
Species: human. mostly
Power: while he was born with eidetic memory, due to some spirit shenanigans, his is unusually powerful. he can recall scenes and memories as if looking at a photograph but also recall the smells, sounds, and scents associated with said memories. the problem is it gets so intense that he sometimes needs to check if he's living in the moment or the past. he solves this by wearing a rubber band around his wrist, and if he's confused or concerned, he snaps it.

sometimes, if someone is fixating on a memory while in physical contact with Gabriel, he will see it as he does when he recalls one of his own. though rare, it works with memories that are filled with gaps and holes due to repression, and has often times helped people remember things they mentally shut away.


Info: gabriel is a private eye who's seen way too much shit, and given his ability, he forgets none of it. but because of this he's in high demand and makes a decent living. he's sought after by both those looking to hire him and those looking to get some revenge. lives in brooklyn. doesn't do much but work, eat, (sleep is a lie) rinse and repeat. his downtime are stolen moments that usually get interrupted anyway

Personality: way too goddamn bitter. he's seen a lot and can't forget so his view on the world is that it's shit, everyone in it is shit, he's shit, you're shit, all of it is shit. he's blunt and to the point, harshly so most times, not very sociable, makes terrible choices when it comes to his personal life, and leaves a trail of regret wherever he goes. despite being an unpleasant jerkass, he is compelled to help those who have nowhere to turn, who get screwed over and forgotten by the system and society at large, hence the private practice he runs.
