Name a character I've written about, and I will tell you three things that I think are essential to keep in mind when writing that character.

Date: 2011-02-13 04:58 pm (UTC)1) Gabriel is not..sunshine and puppies. He does not give selflessly, or martyr himself. He's a liar, yes, and while he's been true to himself, he hasn't because he's been hiding behind a mask, and has more baggage than you can shake a stick at. What he does, he does for Gabriel. How he does it, is how Gabriel wants to do it. He's not influenced by others.
2) Following the trend of my first comment, Gabriel has his dark side. Turn your brain to before the SPN world knew that Gabriel was Gabriel, but the hunted Trickster that everyone hated for what he did to Sam and Dean. And countless others. That was his existence for thousands of years. He may have helped saved the world, but he's no angel. (...you get what i mean)
3) The snark. For the love of God, the snark. Gabriel is witty, has thousands of years worth of pop-culture references, quick wit, but he is bitter. He's not going to be one at a loss for words, and with one exception as seen in canon, he's always going to have the last word.
