Midtown, Freedom City, New Jersey The Goodman Building Friday, February 7, 2014 Despite the recent heavy snow, it was business as usual this Friday morning in Freedom City. The roads had been cleared, and though there were still piles of snow scattered about, it was otherwise just a rather typical, cold, winter day in the busy city. Mali Benjawan was driving a small white van through Midtown's busy streets. Normally, she would still be in classes at Claremont Academy over in Bayview Heights. But today she and a number of other students were departing for a rather unusual field trip that would last over the weekend. Inside the van were four of Mali's fellow students. Sitting in the front passenger seat was the one Mali knew best, Elias Silvestri, and the second oldest present. Seated in back seats were Georgia Montgomery, William Cline, and then the student Mali knew the least, one of the school's newest, Ralf Steiner. But Mali had little time to think about her fellow students riding in the van, as she maneuvered through the tight traffic along 40th Avenue. Then up ahead she saw their destination, the massive steel frame of the Goodman Building, its mirror-finished windows gleaming in the mid-morning sun. The top five floors of the Goodman Building was home to the famous Atom Family, one of whom would be acting as the chaperone and guide for the group of Claremont students on their outing.

January 5th 2:34 PM The front of Claremont was a very large gate. Past that gate was a large manicured lawn, and past that, was a big, square building, which was where the car had dropped Georgia off. Really the whole area looked less like a high school and more like the colleges in the pictures on the pamplets in the guidance counselor's office. She'd spent a lot of time in there the last few months. The public school she went too previously wasn't too reluctant to let her go, but they did talk to her a lot about the transfer paperwork involved.In fact, she was under the impression they wanted her to go, that it was a great opportunity and that she would get the best they could offer and they'd only heard good things about this school. Not that it mattered to them that she'd be leaving behind all her friends to go to this great opportunity, or that she suspected, couldn't confirm, but heavily suspected they might of been getting some reimbusement for some of the accidental breaking of things around the school. She could only guess really, it wasn't like the school hated her, more like they didn't notice her, which was pretty evident that she was rarely reported absent from her more streniously boring classes. Walking up to the gate, she realized something that hadn't occurred to her, that probably wouldn't be the case here. Whatever the consequences were, it likely wouldn't be as easy to fade enough into the background to get enough comfortable apathy that her old city school had. They'd straight out told her she'd be getting special classes to deal with her new thing. Looking at her hand she stared at it for a few seconds before absently moving it through her luggage and grabbing a brush she'd tucked into the inner pocket. Yep, still weird as hell. Especially since she could put it back just as easily. After that she picked up the trunk and put it on her shoulder like it was a duffle bag. Maybe she'd be more self concious about it if she wasn't, well she didn't know. She was essentually standing in front of the real world equivalent of Hogwarts, though she severly doubted she'd have to sit under a sorting hat. Looking at the square building she shrugged and walked forward. It was Sunday, but they were supposedly expecting her so she could start school for the new semester the next day. She didn't exactly know what to expect, Georgia (the state, not herself, she knew she'd get ribbed for that, but it was really not that big a thing), wasn't really a superhero central, not as much as this area at least. Well, maybe they'd try to be somewhat normal, but honestly, she'd left normal behind a while ago.

Character Name: Georgia Montgomery Power Level: 7(105/109) Trade-Offs: -1 Attack / +1 Damage, +2 Defense / -2 Toughness Unspent Power Points: 3 Progress To Bronze Status: 3/30 In Brief: Teenage Density Shifter Alternate Identity: G-Force Identity: Secret Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia Occupation: Student Affiliations: Claremont Family: Peter (Younger Brother), Wendy (Mom), Frank (Divorced Dad), Debbie (Mom's current partner) Description: Age: 16 (Born September 18th) Apparent Age: 16 Gender: Female Ethnicity: African American Height:5'5 Weight: Varies, usually 132 Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown and Auburn Streaked Her hair's naturally curly but she kills it with a straight iron. It goes past her shoulders and has streaks of auburn dyed into it. She's a bit on the heavy side (hehe), but doesn't really give a damn. She's not a big fan of make up, and usually wears pretty covering clothing. She likes to dress in layers, usually with pants or solid colored tights under skirts or shorter jackets. Her face is rounded as are her eyes, and she has a median brown complexion. She likes colorful outfits, and will paint her nails to match (she used to wear fake nails, but those aren't really practical for punching). Power Descriptions: Georgia can, control her density, and the density of whatever or whoever she touches, as long as she's touching them. Offensively, she can become stronger, and much, much heavier, or defensively, she can become unable to touch. She can make things and people more fragile by making them less dense as well, or she can just ignore them and walk through them. She can make herself lighter, and propel herself through the air by jumping, she could make herself lighter than air, but that's really hard to control (because she could be blown away). History: Sometimes weird things happen. It happens more in some places more then others. Georgia's life was a little bit abnormal, her dad grew up in Freedom City and got married to her mother almost immediately after high school. They moved to the Atlanta area for his work (he became a systems analyst for a major computer company in that area) while her mother worked as a florist. Eventually problems started to pop up and her parents got divorced when she was seven, and eventually they both found new partners. In her mothers case it was a personal trainer she'd met at the gym, which wasn't that strange except it was a woman named Debra Patrid. They were together for about three years before they decided through the help of artificial insimination to have another child, Georgia's younger brother when she was 11. It wasn't exactly a standard family, but it wasn't the weirdest thing to happen by far. After attending a concert with a date something happened when someone tried to mug them. Her date gentlemanly as he was, pushed her behind him to try and protect her. She wanted to run away, wanted them both too, but she clung to his shirt from behind as he tried to talk down the mugger since neither of them had any cash. When the gun came out and fired something strange happened. They hit the shirt, and shattered. The mugger was speechless, as was her date, and herself until he ran the hell off because of the attention the gunshots had gotten. They were brought into the police station after the mugger was caught, interrogated, had all the evidence confiscated (including the shirt, which her date asked if he could have back later, dubbing it his now lucky shirt). The next couple weeks, were kind of weird after that. Accidents happened, scales were broken, things were dropped through hands that couldn't seem to hold things. Eventually her and her family were contacted by Claremont when one of the more public accidents (involving a trip down a wheelchair ramp that created something of a crater in said ramp) offering their services to help her learn about her ability. Personality & Motivation: Georgia is a friendly talkative girl. She likes finding clothes, playing games and being with friends. What she hates is most of all is feeling helpless. The mugging highlighted this especially for her. Even if he hadn't been hurt, her (now boyfriend) was shot and she'd just hid behind him. Even if she might of done something, it was mostly just a fluke on her part. If she could do something to prevent that, then she'll do it. She may not be nessicarily the violent type, but she doesn't want to just be a spectator if she can do something about it. Powers & Tactics: Georgia won't try to hurt people if she doesn't have too. If she has too, then she'll do it, but she's more a shield then a sword most of the time. She'll take the bullet, or maybe make a shield out of something and make it denser so it can do it instead. She'll also move through walls to look ahead or do search and rescue. She's not that great in a fight yet, but she's pretty good at taking the hit. Complications: Secret Identity: Her family knows, but that's about it. Away From Family And Friends: There all back in Georgia Don't Let Go: All attributes of her powers affecting other things are all only active as long as she's touching them, if she lets go, the power goes away immediately. Boyfriend At Home: It's kind of hard to break up with someone who took a bullet for you. Flincher: Even if she can take a hit, the fact that a fist and bullets coming towards you is pretty unnerving.
