Gal

Gal Kiba is a human, who is one of the three members in Squad 3. He made his first appearance in Chapter 3, Part 1, talking with Kevin, and their new squad member, Mega.

Backstory
Gal was raised in a harsh environment as he and his family lived in the Azurian Slums. Gal lived a fairly normal and happy life, until he and his family got caught in the middle of gang related activity, which ended up in getting them tortured. Escaping from the gang's grasp, and leaving his family to die, it gave him raging post-traumatic stress, and he began to despise everyone.

"''“People took my family away from me, so now it's time for me to take from them.”"

This led Gal to have no friends. One day, he meets Kevin, a strange man roaming the slums. Gal’s gut instinct tells him Kevin is a kind person, prompting him to lower his guard. Realizing Gal is homeless and has no one to rely on, Kevin asks if he wants to join him on his adventures. He later goes on to live his life with Kevin, taking the quests and bounties from bulletin boards.

Appearance
Gal has mid-length, blond hair and green eyes. He wears a tuxedo with a gray dress shirt underneath. He also has white gloves and a white bandanna wrapped around his right arm. He is usually seen having tea cups, a dagger, and a stick whip on him.

Personality
Generally, Gal doesn't really care about what others think. He is able to pick up a fight if he has to but he can also be very quiet and calm. He decides how to act towards a stranger after he makes a first impression of them. If they seem nice, he'll be nice. If they're distasteful, he'll be distasteful back. Everyone in HaTGanG is seen as family or close friends, and he likes to mess around with them. However, he is willing to protect and save anyone in HaTGanG if the time came. They way his opponents are treated is dependent on the situation. If he feels like he is able to anger the enemy, he will be cocky and toy with them. If he's up against a more serious threat, he will treat them more seriously and try to analyze the situation while fighting.

The Distant Thorn
A unique choice from Gal, this stick-whip is designed exactly as the name suggests. Using his Wind aether, Gal can expand or tighten the whip to his choosing, which he uses to keep his distance against a foe. Another advantage of this weapon used from him is to trap enemies.

Fang
A dagger passed down through Kiba generations, Gal found this weapon after the Slums Incident. Gal treasures this weapon because it's the only thing he has left of his family. Although it is not an ordinary dagger as if it makes contact with someone, their appearance is stored in Gal's pocket dimension to which he is then able to transform into them whenever he wants. Near the beginning of the story, he is able to transform into someone for 1 hour but it lasts longer as the story progresses.

Explosive Darts
A very creative projectile, these darts can explode on impact. Serving as a ranged and explosive weapon, Gal likes to have these darts inside of his pocket dimension for utility. This means that he can pull them out of any pockets on him. Using his Adaptive aether, he can multiply the number of darts thrown in mid-air at the cost of half the explosion power.

Tea Cups
On Gal's belt there are tea cups seemed to be filled with tea. He uses these tea cups to throw on the ground and to form fog. It is a mystery as to how the tea never spills.

Pockets
Inside of Gal's pockets exists a pocket dimension where he can store anything he wants in there. No one really knows what he keeps in there other than himself.

Statistics
All listed statistics are at the end of the story.

Gale Force
Gale Force is Gal's elemental shroud, usually activated due to intense feelings of despair and helplessness. During this transformation, Gal's hair turns white, white crystals form in his eyes, and white and green crystals summon and slowly rotate around Gal's head, wrists, and ankles. Gale Force increases Gal's speed, dexterity, aether and physical strength, and a variety of other things.
