"Are you sure?" she inquired, "I tried moving some of my jewelry, a brass door knocker, and some aluminum cans with my power. None of it budged even an inch." Taking a sip of her soda the magnetokinetic shrugged, "Then again, this is why I'm here, explore my power and learn to control it better." As Sakurako continued exploring costume extras and fancy toys, Selena had to chuckle, "It's a shame you're heading for space after graduation. I imagine you'd have one hell of a costume consultant here on the mudball spinning around a giant nuclear fireball. If I might be so bold as to throw my two cents towards Alex's? Lots of pockets and containers of handy substances to turn into. Sand, water, steel, and so on." While Jann blinked water from his eyes and calmed down a bit she shrugged, "I'm from Puerto Rico. Relatively speaking, not far from the equator. I'm guessing you're from up by Greenland from your reaction to these temps?"

Selena chuckled, "You'd hate my home town Feathers. It doesn't drop much below 70 degrees." She could practically see him flinch at the thought. Seeing Alex turn himself into living steel and hearing the explanation of his powers she nodded. "Awesome. You're not limited to solid objects right? Sounds like a fun power to play with." "Nah, not aluminum. Would need to be magnetically active. Iron, steel, copper, or cobalt. Or at least several strips of one of those metals... maybe a couple plates," Selena mused.

"I haven't tried but still, my top speed has to be over seventy miles per hour. I might try that. Maybe a surfboard shaped one?" Selena mused as she speared a salt potato on her fork. She chuckled at Jann dowsing himself in ice water. "You're going to have your air conditioning cranked to 'Arctic cold' levels all summer aren't you?" When Alex mentioned theoretically being able to fly she directed her attention towards him, "And now I'm curious, what is your power Alex? Still, punching stuff is a good skill to be proficient in."

Leading the way to the table Selena let out a contemplative noise. "Maybe not all of the tools but a few special features not available on the stock models? And what's the Wreck Room? Sounds like one of those places you pay a few bucks and get to just destroy things for fifteen minutes." "Just magnetic control, at least as far as I can tell. I've never been able to move anything that wasn't made of the basic magnetically active metals. And I haven't tried anything with electricity," She explained. "As for flying, I'm willing to guess Feathers can. I can as well, I'm not going to set any new flight speed records but I can outpace most cars on the highway." To demonstrate she set her tray down and, with her left eye once again glowing purple, her feet left the floor and kept going until they were roughly eye level with the others before she set back down.

Gauss would fit as a Claremonter. She is also PL7.

Gauss, especially at her current skills, is probably best for the main brawl. Then again, having her act as a human EMP to wreck the external drive the sneakier hacker types would have copied student registry to might also be a decent idea.

As Alex was about to answer, a small collection of silverware floated past the boys and settled onto Selena and Sakurako's trays. "I couldn't help but overhear. I'm glad I'm not the only newbie here already. I'm Selena and this is Sakurako," she said. "Have either of you gotten the full tour of the school or has your experience been more like mine of 'get assigned a room, unpack, and kinda wander around'?" "If you guys haven't grabbed seats, there's some empty ones over by my bag. Come on over when you've finished grabbing food or, um, more ice," she offered, giving Jann a teasing smile with the last words.

The air conditioning of the cafeteria hit Selena like a wonderfully cool wall. Making her way with Sakurako to the lunch line Selena dropped her bag into a chair, spying the pasta and meatballs, salt potatoes, broccoli and cheese, various salads, fried haddock, and more. Her stomach let forth an audible growl as she placed her tray along the counter, which she quickly piled with food. "Once I settle on a costume, remind me to talk to you about the actual tailoring," she said. "Maybe some kind of thermal-adaptive inner lining, I'm actually rather afraid of what winter's going to be like this far from the equator. Though, I wouldn't mind the invisibility cloak option. Or some level of protection that can stop bullets like a certain wizard named Harry's leather duster." While Alex and Jann made their introductions, Selena stood a bit off to the side, waiting for access to the freezer to become available again. Eying the pair, she was suddenly glad she had taken a minute on the walk back to get her tank and shorts back on.

"Sounds like a good plan. I've never heard of a scenario that can't be improved by being in better shape. Took forever for me to get into shape when I started surfing, maybe Casey has some suggestions so I can maintain better too?" Making their way back towards the main quad and into the cafeteria, Selena shuddered mentally at the first attempt she had at a costume. Never again. The skirt was cute but never again, she thought. Aloud she answered, "Nothing concrete yet, definitely needs a cape. A cape just seals the deal for a costume. Maybe something in purple, match the eye?"

Selena shook her head at Sakurako's casual use of super-tech, "I'm never going to get used to seeing this kind thing. Does it drive screws too?" As the pair headed to the cafeteria, Selena's backpack came sailing from its resting place beneath the tree. Stopping just a few feet ahead of the girls she stepped forward and plucked it from the air. "Pasta sounds good, especially if it's with meatballs rather than meatsauce." "So, aside from testing tech and doing math at the bottom of the pool, what do you do for fun?"

"Sounds like one heck of a good post-graduation plan," the magnetokinetic said, her left eye once again radiating a purple glow as one of the pinballs levitated and began a slow circuit around the pool, keeping an even and steady pace. "I'm still not sure what to do after high school. I'm sure there's room at plenty of construction jobs for a human nailgun if all else fails." At Sakurako's comments about the summer schedule she shrugged, "I tried to use my powers a bit back home but it didn't work out terribly well. When the school's representatives came and offered my parents the chance to get me training someplace I wasn't likely to hurt myself or others, I was on the next plane out of San Juan." Selena stood up and toweled off her legs, "It's almost noon, want to grab some lunch? I don't know about you but I tend to think better with a few noms."

"No, but I'm glad to see someone else around here enjoyed A Certain Magical Index, though I'm more of a Fullmetal Alchemist kind of girl. I was just doing a bit of morning exercise, first the powers then physical," she said, scooting around to the edge so she sat with her legs from the knee down in the cool water. "And yes, I just finished unpacking this morning." Taking another look at the suit Sakurako wore she nodded, "So, a personal project huh? Taking a year off between high school and college to seek out new life and new civilizations? To boldly go where no one has gone before?"

The sound of a louder splash made Selena pick up her pace. "My bad, I lost control for a second and couldn't grab them again. Are you- " the magnetokinetic stopped short as she noticed the outfit the girl in the pool was wearing. "Sorry, was not expecting to step into NASA training. Are you okay?" As she spoke, Selena's left eye glowed purple and the steel projectiles rose from the water's depths and made their way to one of the chairs near the water. Once they settled the teen dropped her towel over the back of a neighboring one and walked over to the steps. "Not the best first impression but my name's Selena, and you are?"

July 18, 11am Selena Kwon wandered the ground of Claremont Academy, enjoying a break from unpacking and taking a break in the sunny weather. Finding a comfortable spot towards the back of the grounds, not too far from the pool she set down her backpack of equipment and took a seat under one of the large trees. Taking a handful of pinball balls from the bag she laid them out in front of her in the grass. Taking a deep breath and focusing, slowly one by one the steel spheres lifted from the ground and began to orbit her slowly at first but gaining speed with each rotation. The exercise was going fine until a mosquito buzzed in her ear, breaking her concentration and sending the pinballs careening off towards the pool. A brief moment of panic struck as a series of splashes erupted from the water. When no cries of pain or outrage came she relaxed for a minute. Glad that was my next stop, she mentally sighed as she shrugged out of her tank top and shorts to reveal the bikini underneath and walked over.

Silver Spider Favored Son ToV: Harden Pharoh's Heart Un-Organ-ised Crime

It starts just driving around a practice ring. It ends with cars being flung, crumpled, and crushed. Insurance agents will weep.

Taking a quiet breath at that name Jennifer slowly exhaled the quiet dread out of her chest, I really hope he's not still mad about the Audi incident, she thought to herself. Turning to face him she held out her hand, "Good to see you again Jason. What's it been, six years since you came to one of these get-togethers?" Jason was one person at this party she did not want to get onto the subject of business with given that their families' companies routinely ended up competing for defense contracts.

Just as the swarm of azure arrows stopped flying, a blur of silver and blue swung down towards the skeletal ankylosaur trying to break down a wall with its mace-like tail. As her descent brought her in line with her target, Silver Spider launched two more lines of webbing to slingshot herself at the beast. I know this is incredibly cliche but I'm not likely to get this kind of opportunity again for a while, she thought to herself before yelling out, "Heads up!" With a thunderous crack, Silver's boots connected with the ankylosaur's skull. As the skull shattered and the rest of the body shattered, she swung away on yet another web-line to get out of range of a retaliatory strike from the undead dinosaurs.

Player Name: Azuth65 Character Name: Gauss Power Level: 9 (built as PL 8; 120/131PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 11PP In Brief: Teenage surfer girl turned magnetic controller. Residence: Claremont Academy Base of Operations: Freedom City, New Jersey Catchphrase: Alternate Identity: Selena Kwon Identity: Secret Birthplace: Guaynabo, Puerto Rico Occupation: High school student Affiliations: Family: Kwon Sang (Father), Maria Kwon (Mother), Christian Kwon (older brother), Sofia Kwon (little sister) Description: Age: 16 (DoB: April 3rd, 2000) Apparent Age: Mid-late teens Gender: Female Ethnicity: Mixed, Asian and Latino Height: 5'4" Weight: 125lbs Eyes: Green Hair: Black Description: Selena stands a few inches under average height, her wavy black hair hanging most of the way down her back. She likes to dress in shorts and tank tops during the summer when she isn't shredding waves at the beach, when the temps start to drop she sticks to jeans and hoodies. She's made a few alterations to her Claremont jumpsuit to include a few pouches to store bits of metal for combat and she added a cape with some extra material around the neck looking something like a scarf. Power Descriptions: When Gauss uses her powers her left eye and hands glow with a soft purple light but other than floating, metals she is controlling don't show any difference. History: Selena was the middle child born to Sang and Maria Kwon, though her father still prefers traditional form of surname first while the rest of the family has chosen to Westernize. As a child Selena was enrolled in several after-school programs by her fairly career oriented parents including martial arts classes, girl scouts, soccer, and ballet. It wasn't until a family vacation in 2010 when she learned how to surf did she find an extra-curricular activity she truly enjoyed besides her massive intake of genre fiction in various media. One sunny weekend afternoon in late April 2016 while taking a break between wave sets, Selena and a few of her friends were enjoying some snacks when a cargo van roared onto the beach, hitting anyone unable to get out of the way. When it was about to hit Selena her powers manifested and in a burst of magnokinetic force flung the van over her, dropping it on its roof twenty feet down the beach. The driver of the out of control vehicle was seriously hurt, lucky to be alive after Selena's fight-or-flight response to his vehicle's malfunction. Shortly after that event she tried her hand at practicing on her own, which did not go particularly well for her, before representatives from Claremont Academy invited her to come to the school for professional training. Personality & Motivation: Selena attends Claremont to better hone her powers, hoping to learn the finesse needed so that she would never end up hurting anyone in the course of diffusing a situation. Powers & Tactics: Gauss is a fairly straight forward fighter, firing bits of metal to strike her foes while zipping around the battlefield from one ferrous structure or item to another. Moving more than herself and one object is still more than she can handle most of the time.

Apologies for the delay. Silver's going perform a move-by kick on Ankylosaur 1 via web-swing. 1d20+9=29 Wow, DC 27 toughness save.

Quickly taking in the scene on the screen, Jen reached into her purse, pulled a few bills from her wallet and left them on her table before grabbing her briefcase and ducking out to change into costume away from the crowd. After ducking between a pair of buildings the young inventor felt for her ability to alter gravity, jumping twenty feet up one wall and again to land on the flat roof out of sight. Ducking down she strapped on her web-shooters and pulled her armored costume from the briefcase. A few seconds later Silver Spider was running along rooftops towards the center of the city. When in doubt, always run towards trouble she thought to herself as she flipped across a gap between a bakery and a jewelry shop.

1d20+9=22.

Silver Spider is available for punching and/or inventing things in this adventure.

Jennifer Owens sat in a booth next to the front window of a small coffee shop, her meeting to discuss getting some of the less-lethal weapons and next generation body armor her division specialized in into the hands of the British counter-terrorism forces having gone very smoothly. She was not looking forward to getting all the demonstration pieces back through customs but it is worth the hassle. Try as she might, she was unnerved by the recent events she had heard news reports of and could not relax while out of the country. And given the plagues are going on around the world, she was glad she had her costume in the briefcase at her feet.

Giving Robert a nod, Jen replied, "No reason you can't donate to the foundation anyway." Raising a hand she quickly added, "I know, I know, I'm starting to sound like their spokesperson but it's a cause that hits close to home." "Yeah, I'm with you Megs, these days I'm more into the shop side of sports cars than driving them. Still, few things are as fun as seeing how many toys I can fit into a car without it looking completely tasteless. You should see what I'm working on now, all-terrain doesn't even begin to describe it. Might be six months out but when I'm done, even you'll be impressed with her," she said, a bit of the rush she felt when working on a piece of tech, super or otherwise, creeping into her voice.
