Name: Gale Austin Franklin McCenry
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Occupation: Natural Phenomenon and Paranormal Activity Investigator
Personality: Gale in one word would be described as secluded, however, it is for good reasons. He's a man of few words and often works in silence at any given time. It's rare to see him not on the job, for he hardly leaves his house when not out on some sort of investigation. In his hometown, he's earned a reputation for being extremely stubborn and hard headed, especially about his work and findings. He's not easily terrified, but he's easily excited when it comes to new samples or sightings and wants to document everything that happens. He's generally lead by facts rather than gut and often gets frustrated when he has to make a decision without anything to back him up, but he will have gut instincts about certain presences. Only some, however, and it's under very special circumstance. Gale is very sure footed and walks as if he's on a mission, only stopping once getting to where he wants to be. He's often times forward with his directions and blunt with his critiques and hardly ever leaves anything he says to mystery, always saying what he means to a T.

Likes: Gale's number one priority is to study and understand paranormal activity. It is very clear he enjoys his work, especially when someone employs him to check their house or work place. Most say he's obsessed with the work as it looks like he does nothing else but collect samples, and takes and studies pictures. Although not many people visit him since he's not very social and hardly invites guests, Gale has a full fledged lab in house dedicated to his work and studies. Gale also enjoyed sketching and drawing. Although he's not very good at it anymore due to an accident than took several of his fingers, you can still find him sketching various things. Most sketches are related to his research however, such as figures he saw while on an investigation or a certain piece of furniture of interest. He doesn't hate people, though. Although he may be quiet and often quite blunt or harsh with his words, Gale does enjoy accompaniment. However, he enjoys the actual presence of a person rather than what the person does. He'd be far more happy if someone were to simply sit on the couch and be there when he turned around over someone trying to make conversation and trying to figure out what he is doing.
Dislikes: Gale hates following the rules. Most rules, especially trespassing on property and breaking and entering, usually interfere with his studies of the paranormal, which have become well known in his home town as being overboard and dramatic. He doesn't have problems with authorities as long as he can do what he needs to do and they stay out of each other's way. He hates canines, especially large dogs, but not out of fear most definitely. He can't stand spicey food and he hates using electrical equipment. Most electrical items he owns are battery powered, and whenever he can, he'll use other sources to do the same task, such as lanterns and candles for lighting instead of using a light switch or a flashlight. He keeps flashlights on him just in case, however. He also finds it frustrating when people claim they know what he does because of the rumors they've heard about him because most are either untrue or blown out of proportion. He's not a very social bird either and generally dislikes talking for long periods of time or being around especially clumsy or clueless people.
Greatest Fear: Electricity
