    'Wow, getting asked to help with crowd control. I wonder if I can get extra-credit for this?' Gordy was doing much better with the crowd now. The trick was to think of them as an audience, and himself as an actor. With that in mind Gordy could confidently address the throng of people. Just as he was starting to really get into this job, he is rocked by an explosion. 'Crap, I knew I should have had my forcefield up.'

  5. High Note's saves. Toughness save for Gaea (1d20-1=12) Fort save for gaea (1d20 3=22) I dunno if a 12 will save, though I doubt it will. So lets spend a HP to reroll that toughness. reroll tough save (1d20-1=3) Add ten for being a HP roll, and it's a 13. Hardly worth it. Random Rolls: Random Fort (1d20=2), Random Tough (1d20=1) Dang. I'm gonna have a lot to clean up Random Tough (1d20=2) Random Fort. (1d20=2) Sigh. Now the internet dice hate me too.

    A Strange Visitor

    Gordy smiles at someone else stepping in to try and talk people down. Someone whose arguments didn't involve the color of the spaceship. 'What was I thinking. It's silver, jeez. I need to work on my oration.' "Thanks. I didn't really think that one through before I started talking. Figured someone should try and calm the crowd down, and I was around. So what do you think? Alien jetting here from a doomed home planet, seeking sanctuary, or something with lots of fangs and two mouths?"

    Gordy sense the crowd is starting to become just a little ugly. And the mention of Terminus doesn't do anything to help that situation. It seems that everyone has an opinion, and they each seem to be more doomsdayish then the last. Getting on his tip-toes, Gordy tries to look around for a hero who can help ease the tensions. Hmm, the guy on the street sign was unfamiliar to him, and that girl he had met at the Christmas party, Velocity if he recalls correctly, seems to be busy with looking over the crash replay. Not that he could really contact her. Ah well, it's his fault for not putting on his costume before leaving the house to investigate a crash landing. And it's further his fault for having not done laundry, so it's not like it was clean anyway. Well, maybe he could talk people down from their paranoia. He speaks up just a little, hoping to be heard. "People, please. I'm sure the police know what they're doing, it's Freedom City, they have to deal with this stuff all the time. And it can't be the terminus, because......Uh....it's....silver?

  20. I noticed that when my stats sheet for High Note got updated, my backstory got deleted. Could someone please put it back up for me? Thanks. It follows Real Name: Gordy St. James Age: 14 Occupation: Student/Actor Identity: Secret Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record Other Aliases: None Base Of Operations: Freedom City Marital Status: Single Known Relatives: Robert St. James(Father), Gina Favro-St. James(Mother), Thomas Favro(Half-Brother) Lilly St. James(Sister) Group Affiliation: Claremont Goals: Broadway Baby! History: Gordy was born the second child of seamstress Gina Favro-St. James, the first to be the product of her marriage to Robert St. James, a struggling lawyer. During his formative years the St. James family lacked money and could not afford day care. As such, Gordy was often to be seen accompanying his mother to her jobs at the Beaudrie Opera House, exposing him to musical theater and opera at a very young age. Gordy quickly became something of an unofficial mascot, just as often found in the care of the actors and directors as in his mothers. As he grew older and started school Gordy would still come to the theater most every day his mother worked, usually to help with everything from serving as a live model to running lights and filling in for absent actors, and occasionally performing in shows. It was during one of these times when Gordy, practicing for the part of Gavroche, found himself witnessing a battle between Dr. Metropolis and Hiroshima Shadow. Gordy ran for cover in the wings, but was struck by a stray bolt of energy and knocked out after hitting his head on the barricade prop. Gordy came to hours later in a dark room and, not knowing how he got there, proceeded to scream, unleashing a fine piercing shrill, and alerting the nurses that he was up. After being assured that he was fine, just being kept for overnight observation, Gordy went back to sleep. He was reawaken the next morning to hugs from his sobbing mother, and a visit from a man he had never seen before. The man introduced himself as Duncan Summers, headmaster of the Claremont Academy and asked Gordy about what had happened the night before, and if he could do the scream again. After hitting his repeat performance, Duncan offered Gordy a spot at the Academy, a spot he accepted about being assured he would still be able to be in Les Misérables. Gordy has taken well to Claremont, though was quickly banned from singing in the shower, as even without his powers he tends to cause ringing in peoples ears. Height: 5 ft. 4 in. Weight: 119 lbs. Eyes: Green Hair: Dirty Blonde Strength Level: High Note possesses the normal human strength of a child his age, height, and build who engages minimal moderate exercise Known Superhuman Powers: High Note creates powerful sonic waves with his voice with which he can achieve various effects. As a secondary effect of his transformation, and years of exposure to stage lights and loud music, High Note is protected from sensory overload. Weapons: None Abilities: As Gordy, High Note is an respected singer, dancer and actor. Personality: Gordy is most easily summed up in one word. Campy. Almost everything in his life revolves around the theater, doubly so for the works of Steven Sondhiem. Gordy is by no means a dumb kid, but has found that his charm and good looks are enough to get him by most of the time, so he is more likely to be reading the latest Variety in class then the assigned texts. Gordy is well known by most of the student body for his penchant for spontaneously bursting into song in the hall ways, as well as his often failed attempts to recruit fellow students into performing in plays with him. To date his greatest success toward introducing the student body to musical theater was his one man show of Gypsy. It was a success as he learned he could use his powers to deflect the tomatoes various classmates decided to throw(not that it was bad, it just that a play about a former stripper is probably a bad choice for a boarding school.) Gordy manages not to fall into the trap of Prima Donna, though he does love to be the center of attention. Added by Herid Fel.

    A Strange Visitor

    Gordy sat in his families new, well, new to them, apartment overlooking the park. If you didn't count that building in front of them that eclipsed the view from his bedroom(which is actually the guest bedroom, what with only his sister still living at home for most of the year). Christmas break, though they called it holiday break to be PC, was in full swing, and being as his family lived in the city, Gordy had decided to spend the holidays at home. It would be the first holiday in a new place, now that his dad had gotten a slight promotion, and they'd been saving for a better house since they first moved into the horrible Fens apartment. Sure, it was a little further to the opera house for his mom, but at least she wouldn't have to worry as much about street crime. Gordy has just sat down from bringing his bags in when he hears a commotion outside. Running into the den and looking out the window there, Gordy sees a sleek looking flying saucer(at least, he assumes it's a flying saucer. Maybe a crashed saucer at this point, but a saucer none the less) that has crashed into a building. He can't make out what kind of building from here, but decides he's going to get a better look. Throwing on his winter coat, hat and a scarf, more to obscure his identity then the cold, Gordy makes his way to the crowd of people starting to gather. Turning to the person next to him he asks the obvious question, "What's going on? Aside from a ship just crashed into what looks like a bank."
