General Appearance: Standing at a solid five foot, ten and a half inches (that half is very important), both of them, they’re merely average height. Their mother says they’re not done growing, but they’re both pretty much a hundred percent sure – they are. But mother's are never wrong, now are they? We shall see. They’re still tall enough for some fun basketball, and for reaching the dishes for mom. They both have perfect posture, as their mother would allow it no other way. They both walk with a confidence, though Gabriel’s is by far more obvious than Uriel’s – though as of late, Gabriel’s seems to be fading back and Uriel’s confidence shining forward. Their mother is, of course, proud of her tall, well-postured and confident men.
In their opinion, they have naturally feminine hands, which is probably why they like digging in the dirt so much – man them up. They’re both slender, covered in lithe muscle from daily runs and weighing, each, 150 pounds. They have brown eyes and hair, though in the summer, the sun gives their hair a reddish sheen. Their hair is normally kept short and well-kept, though sometimes it does get shaggier. The usually get hair cuts at the same time, though not always 0 which is another give away of which is which, as long as their cut their hair separately. They have, however, taken to doing each others, which means they do it one right after the other, or a day apart at latest.
They tan easily and naturally, and it normally keeps all through winter, only starting to fade once they can start tanning again.
They both have freckles, Gabriel having a scar on his right cheek from a bird ‘attack,’ though they have no other truly defining differences in appearance. They have matching crosses, though Gabriel’s is on a black leather strand, Uriel’s on a brown. They periodically change, though usually, they stick to their colors, keeping the crosses tucked into their shirts.
Personality: Uriel is by far the more shy one, though certainly not by much anymore. Gabriel’s constant outgoing presence has been fading back a little, to the point where he’s just as happy to sit at home and relax, which Uriel has always preferred. Their mother raised them as proper Southern gentlemen, and their father made sure the whole family was religious, being at church every Sunday. Naturally, this is a tradition the boys keep up even today. Even fi they don’t go home for a weekend, they still make it, on Sunday, to the same church their parents go to.
Their potential anger comes only from protection, if someone hurts Gabriel, Uriel will wreak hell on them, and vice versa, and of course they’re like that for any other friends as well, and especially for their family. They now know better than to stray too far from each other, and did enough trials of being apart that they know how far apart they can be.
They rarely need alone time, but when they do, they sit on the opposite side of the room and ignore each other – though this usually only lasts all of.. five minutes. They always like going out and exercising and playing sports, though they love getting clean just as much. If they are clean and get dirty unintentionally, they do get a little.. weird about it. Not angry, but they have to get the stain out immediately, or get whatever it is off of them. They have a bit of a clean.. obsession, though Gabriel’s used to be far worse.
The like going for drives, Gabriel driving and Uriel riding, and they just listen to music in silence, sing along, or just talk. Gabriel loves music more, though Uriel knows far more about art than Gabriel could ever hope to. They’re evenly matched with each other, together of course, but even apart. The grades Uriel gets in history were always almost identical to Gabriel’s in biology, another thing their parents used to find odd.
They’re now in karate, along with what they’re learning at Hammel, trying to hone all their skills as best they can, including going to gymnastics room periodically and working in their. When they do these things, they try different things together versus apart, loving to test their limitations – something their mother disproves of and their father just smiles and shakes his head at.
Their parents have always been proud, loving, and fair, with optimistic outlooks, and they made sure that was how their sons were raised, and it shows that they have good breeding. As time goes on, though, they both seem to be getting a little shier.. once they know someone, they’re plenty outgoing, and as mentioned, Gabriel will always be the more outgoing, but it seemed they’ve hit an equilibrium, and then started receding back into being a little shy.
Of course, anyone can force being a people person, and Gabriel is exceptionally good at it, having used to have been one.

History
When they were born in Texas, their parents knew there was something.. strange. One of crying, and one wasn’t. They don’t remember the exact details, but they’re pretty sure it was Gabriel crying, the first-born, and Uriel being quiet, and that’s usually how they were growing up. Gabriel would always just rather look at the world – though he cried his own fair share as well.
Gabriel and Uriel’s father, Steven, was made famous by discovering a tiny bit of material that, when added to a microprocessor chip, made it over 100x faster, allowing the microprocessor to finally be used in a.. useful way.
Growing up, they were both nice boys, raised in a Christian household, never spoiled, and they grew up to be fine gentlemen.. even as young boys, they learned their ‘pleases’ and ‘thank yous’ rapidly.
As soon as Uriel got chicken pox from one of his friends at the age of four, their mother, Mary, might as well have rubbed them together to prevent shingles in their futures. She noticed that Uriel continued scratching even when he was healed, though assumed it was just a leftover habit that died away quickly.
When she and her husband first noticed something wrong was when her sons were nine. They were playing in a bird sanctuary, and one landed on Gabriel’s shoulder. This was nothing new, of course, until the bird decied to drag it’s beak fiercely down Gabriel’s cheek. Uriel gasped and fell to the ground, clutching his own right cheek and sobbing loudly, while Gabriel just shooed the bird and touched the blood on his cheek, almost as if not even noticing it.
Steve and his wife got their kids home as quickly as possible, cleaning Gabriel up and calming Uriel down. When asked if it hurt, Gabriel shook his head, then jumped off the counter to go find Uriel in another room.
As time carried on, Uriel suddenly wasn’t so messy, and Gabriel’s OCD was gone, instead, they were both just the average amount of clean. At the age of ten, Gabriel had the flu, and so instead of going to visit Grandma’s for Christmas, he stayed home with Mary so as not to infect the family. Uriel and Steve caught a flight out and went to see the family, though Uriel was almost immediately asleep, and Gabriel seemed to be getting paler. Uriel woke up for part of dinner, though didn’t eat, saying he was too tired. Grandma decided he had the flu, like his brother, and checked his temperature. When he was found to not be sick, Steve called Mary.
Mary, meanwhile, was panicking as Gabriel’s breathing got shallower and shallower, and was relieved when her husband called. She told him to come home immediately. They got home another few hours later, and Uriel, ignoring the protests of his family about getting sick, crawled into bed and cuddled up with Gabriel. Both quickly fell asleep, and the next morning, woke up perfectly fine. Gabriel still had the sniffles, but that was all that remained of his flu.
When the boys turned eleven, and people showed up at their door they’d never seen before, everything was explained, and everything suddenly made sense. Deciding not to be away from the boys while they went to a private school, they moved with them, letting them come home over the weekends, home being only a fifteen minute drive. Gabriel or Uriel could walk there if the need really arose. Since then, Gabriel and Uriel have stayed together, and been learning about their power, though there was no control as their personalities began drawing them into a medium. They were just relieved neither of their personalities were being masked, just combined to balance each other out.
In their opinion, it was much nicer than one of them being shoved out.
Roleplay Example
Sokka stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the rapidly approaching island. He was doing this solely as a favor to Zuko - the terrifying fire princess was still... well, to put it bluntly, a little scary. Zuko had promised she'd gotten more sane as of late, but what really tugged at Sokka's heartstrings was that she couldn't bend. He couldn't relate to not bending, but how would he feel without his boomerang his Dad passed down to him? Or his meteorite sword?
He knew the answer, back from when they fell in the final battle. Luckily, they'd been found, and returned to Sokka. Since then, he'd travelled - with Katara, with Aang, with Zuko, by himself.. he had become, not officially, but a key 'keeper of the peace' for the four nation. All four nations knew of him. All trusted him and his ideas, and he'd helped create new inventions, though had sworn off weapons. For now, at least, until a time when they were needed again.
Momo had stayed with him, and was with him even now, despite Sokka telling him to stay behind, in case Azula was still a danger. Zuko had requested it say quiet, so only Zuko, Katara, Sokka, and the men on the boat knew he was the new guard. Word had been sent of a new guard, probably the most skilled of them all, coming to be Azula's personal guard.
Zuko had selected him for his skill with weaponry, and because he already knew Azula. Once Sokka was there, Azula would be allowed to remove her cuffs, only for short times, and in a newly constructed building that would be locked once they were inside, and only unlocked once her cuffs were back on. It was bending proof, so Azula could only bend inside with the cuffs off.
Zuko wanted to see if maybe she was becoming more adapted, ready to come back and be sister to the King of the Fire Nation. Sokka was curious, too.
He turned, walking to the side of the ship as they docked, him hopping off to tie the ship to a pier, despite all the sailors telling him they would. Sokka understood - very few people knew of his multiple skills. What he lacked in bending, he made up for in his vast knowledge of sciences, weaponry, and machinery, along with his strategical mindset, charm, and ever-present wit. Or so he liked the think, for those last two.
He wasn't sure when he'd get to see Azula, but he hoped it was soon. In all actuality, he missed her. Not in a, 'we were best friends, let's hold hands and sing koombaya,' but more in a, 'you were present in my life for about a year constantly, even if it was as an ever-looming danger.'
He got off the ship, bowing to the head of the facility. Half outside, half inside.. he definitely approved of this place. "Where is she?" He asked, smiling. The guard led Sokka towards the facility. "She's out on a walk, probably in the gardens, but she'll be back soon." He offered, leading Sokka into the main room of the facility. "Is there any way I could persuade you to leave your weapons here? She's skilled at martial arts, as well." Sokka nodded, grinning. "Yes, and if she takes them, I'm also good on defense." He grinned, Momo purring in agreement, before fluttering off Sokka's shoulder to go investigate a bowl of fruit.
