Gage Jenkins

Gage Jenkins-Reyes is a character from the story Something to Be by Sammy41 on fanfiction.net. He is best known as the son of Billie Jenkins and Lila Halliwell's longtime boyfriend.

Character Background
Gage Carlisle Jenkins-Reyes is the son of Billie Jenkins and her husband Brandon Reyes born September 3, 2007. By the time he was born, his mother had made amends with the Halliwells, and was in fact extremely close with the family. Billie concieved Gage out of wedlock and his parents didn't marry until after he was born.

Gage spent much of his childhood growing up with the Halliwell family, allowing him to get to know all of them rather well. Gage has one younger brother, named Carson. He attended Golden Gate High School and graduated in the same class as Paige's twins, Kate and Sam. After high school he began working as a mechanic for a body shop in San Francisco. A few years later he started dating Lila Halliwell. The two were close during childhood and adolesence but were slow to start their courtship as the implications of their relationship could affect both their families. The couple has been together for two years at the start of Something to Be.

Powers
Since Gage's father is a mortal, he recieves all his Wiccan powers from Billie. Through his mother's lineage he has the basic powers of spell casting, scrying, and potion making. Gage's primary power is pyrokinesis - the same power as his deceased aunt Christy Jenkins. As a Firestarter he is able to mentally set objects and people into flames. Unlike his aunt, however, he has yet to show any evil tendencies with the ability. Coincidentally between him and his brother, they bear identical powers to Billie and Christy.

Personality
Though Gage's role is shown as secondary throughout the story, he appears to be a near perfect match to Lila. That being said he is very patient and understanding, usually able to calm her down in trying situations. He is very proud and supportive of her place as a Charmed One. Gage is also welcomed and accepted by all the Halliwells and is particularly good friends with Wyatt, Chris, and Joey. He seems to fit in rather well among the chaos and is unfazed by the usual family drama. As seen with his efforts to propose to Lila, he is rather traditional - he asks for Coop's permission to marry Lila - and also romantic. He seems to have a decent relationship with his family. Now that his brother Carson has returned to San Francisco the two spend a frequent amount of time with each other and are also roommates.

Since boyhood Gage has lived in constant fear of turning out like his aunt Christy Jenkins. Billie was always cautious and fearful about letting him slip up toward any evil tendencies as he has the same power as Christy. Gage sensed this as a young boy and it stayed with him. It's perhaps partly responsible for his reserved, non confrontational peronsality.
