Profile
Personality
Gideon is a stuttering hot mess. He's high-strung, fidgety, twitchy, and easy to startle.
Even with this neurotic personality of his, however, he's still the face that you'll usually see whenever you come across the Magical Girl Department in Ficta, Pennsylvania. He's the head secretary and front desk person over there.
He's also responsible for organizing the station's financial budgets and gathering together intel for missions. He knows every single magical girl who works at the station by name and has no problem doing so, with how keen his memory bank can be. Maybe he knows a little too much about them sometimes... he's overheard some pretty personal things throughout the years.
Even though he has frayed nerves, Gideon's still quick to make logical decisions and take action. His brain works about 1000+ miles a minute and it never stops, not even when he sleeps. He's probably already crunching numbers and calculating other things on the side, since he's used to multitasking, while in dreamland. He likes feeling occupied, it fulfills him with this sense of purpose in life, even if he doesn't know when to stop sometimes.
Because of this, he can be overly ambitious and eager to do more. He likes jumping into routines and being able to accomplish something.
History
Gideon isn't actually from this world.
When he was born, he grew up in another magical realm known as Mahou Wando. He was the only one, out of his entire crowded family of seven other brothers, who didn't have magic. He could sense magic, like he could tell whenever an individual was capable of performing it, but he couldn't pull it off himself. His parents often pitied him for this and considered him to be a defect kid. For the longest time, Gideon considered himself to be this weak and fragile person. Even his personality was just a big ball of anxiety, which didn't help at all while he was growing up.
One day, Gideon decided to travel to different realms and see if there were any other places that he could perhaps feel more at home in. He just felt like it was about time he left the next. He couldn't live in his mother's basement forever, after all.
He wanted to not feel helpless. He wanted to feel more in control with his life.
And so, he set off on an adventure that he definitely wasn't prepared for.
Honestly, there were a lot of realms that he'd gotten to learn about by the time he was eighteen. One day, he decided to settle down in this town called Ficta because he found it interesting that only girls were given the chance to be blessed (or cursed) with magical powers. He also felt less isolated in this sort of world, as someone who was male and didn't have any powers.
While he did like the idea of a completely peaceful realm with no conflicts or chaos whatsoever, he also liked being able to help people from behind the scenes, in more indirect ways. It would take him a while to find out about this once he got hired to work at the front desk of the Magical Girl Department.
Nowadays, Gideon's currently been assigned to look after a monster-like girl named Pula, on top of doing what he usually does for a living. He'll still visit the Mahou Wandou realm every now and again, to check up on how his family is doing. But for the most part, though, he prefers to reside in the town of Ficta and is content with the simple life he's got going on.
Nigel is the love of his life and someone that Gideon cares for. Which is surprising, considering how much Gideon didn't like him and was wary of him at first, simply because he was a Beast and he did witness Nigel kill someone for his job. The person Nigel had killed was a burglar that tried to break into Gideon's house, but still, it was quite the shock. Gideon doesn't know how it happened, but the next thing he knew, he and Nigel's relationship then began to get... complicated. In ways that Gideon would rather not disclose because it's pretty embarrassing but, yeah, they had that sort of relationship, although no strings attached... at first. Eventually, some strings did become attached when Nigel saved him from getting attacked by another Beast one day. A couple months would fly by after that incident before Gideon could finally call Nigel his boyfriend.
Pula was once a magical girl, according to the Magical Girl Department Database. However, nowadays, she's just this, er, beast thing? Gideon doesn't even know, but she currently lives with him at the moment and he does take care of her. He ensures that she eats healthy and just looks out for her in general. Gideon can be a bit protective of Pula at times, especially when she has a habit of getting into wild and crazy situations. His life has been a lot more interesting ever since she came around.
Kitty is someone that Gideon can trust, especially since she's the first person that he's ever managed to befriend when he found himself in the town of Ficta. She's someone that Gideon would go to if he's ever wanting to share anything personal with, whether it be related to work or just to talk about the latest gossip (since things can get juicy back at the station). She also knows about his obscure origins.
Jade is his boss, whom he genuinely respects very much. Gideon is extra diligent around her and is quick to help retrieve or obtain anything that she might need for work. He's used to how scary she can be by now and knows not to get on her bad side. They work pretty well as a team and out of all the magical girls that he's ever spoken to, Jade is the one that he knows the best. (He's also very aware of the sexual tensions between her and Nadia and just wants them to hook up already.)
Nadia is one of the magical girls that Gideon's come to recognize with ease. He gets along with her fairly well, like he typically does with everyone else. At first, he was a bit intimidated by her bold and sassy personality. She was everything that he wasn't and he didn't know if he'd get along with her that well. However, he's gotten used to her loud presence nowadays and doesn't mind it anymore. She can also be nice overall. (He's also very aware of the sexual tensions between her and Jade and just wants them to hook up already.)
Monique is one of the magical girls that Gideon's come to recognize with ease. He gets along with her fairly well, like he typically does with everyone else. When it comes to what she does, Monique is a reckless rookie and even Gideon knows that much. She may be a bit blunt around the edges sometimes, which Gideon was a bit wary of at first, but he doesn't mind because she at least tries to be friendly around him. (He can also sense some romantic tension brewing between her and Pumpkin and honestly, he didn't see that one coming at all.)
Pumpkin is one of the magical girls that Gideon's come to recognize with ease. He gets along with her fairly well, like he typically does with everyone else. She's a bit of a veteran, older than Jade in fact. Gideon also knows that she's selectively mute and will only choose to talk if she really wants to. She has a tendency to take pictures with her phone and has even snapped a selfie with Gideon once, much to his embarassment since he didn't think he looked good that day anyway. (He can also sense some romantic tension brewing between her and Monique and honestly, he didn't see that one coming at all.)
