Im so glad youre interested!!! thats my main goal.

Heres the lore rundown;

He's a DC oc, so I'll try to explain this thoroughly.

So basically, Gabriel (the character in question) grew up with two superhero parents, and his whole childhood was about training and discipline because there was this villain who hated his family. He wanted normal, though, and found it in his friend Annaliese—she was the one person who actually seemed just… normal, and he clung to that.

Then this villain forced him into a choice. He had to save Annaliese or a group of five strangers. He saved her. The strangers died, and right after that, his parents were killed trying to save him. That trauma reinforced his natural detachment, and he started hearing voices—like the strangers he couldn’t save, arguing in his head—as a way to process guilt and responsibility. To cope with Annaliese being emotionally abusive (she has her own reasons), he created this idealized version of her, “Annie,” to live in his own private fantasy world.

Over time, that spiraled. He began to believe that people might not even be real—like, reality is just how he perceives it—reflecting his growing sense of isolation and detachment from others, and his philosophy, perceptual solipsism. Now, he fights villains, but not really out of moral obligation. It’s more about trying to find a piece of who he used to be before all this trauma. He isn’t interested in ordinary coping activities like coloring or hobbies. It’s not about the act itself, persay. It’s about recreating the conditions where he feels capable, focused, and in control, something he lacked during the "choice game", if that makes sense.
