[color=f7941d][b]Appearance:[/b][/color]
[indent]To the average Japanese citizen, George has an appearance that screams “foreigner”. A lanky frame standing just under 1.9 metres if you include his gelled, gravity-defying pompadour, dusty brown hair, and wide, rambunctious blue eyes are clear indicators of his ethnicity. Besides his physical features, the most prominent clue to his heritage is his fashion sense. The Illinois native can usually be found in his trademark leather jacket, boasting 50s greaser fashion or any other archaic American style. It would not be unreasonable to assume that George was some half-rate Elvis impersonator with his rollicking charm, bedazzled jackets and voluminous ‘do.[/indent]
[color=f7941d][b]History:[/b][/color]
[indent]The Ellingtons immigrated to Japan when George was four years old, hence making it near impossible for him to have integrated into the culture as deeply as he would have others believe. Being the only foreigner in a class full of Japanese kids, little Georgie became the centre of attention. Little Georgie decided that he rather enjoyed this position. Before the novelty of being a foreigner ran out, he picked up some visual tics to cement his position as someone worth looking at. Inspired by the vinyl records his father had shipped from their home in Illinois, George began dressing strangely, picking up strange hobbies and becoming more and more outlandish as the years passed. 

Learning to dance was simple enough, though his freestyle moves left something to be desired. The circus tricks weren’t too absurd either, a balancing act there and a bit of juggling too. The Ellingtons were more than willing to pay the expenses of the boy’s whims if it meant keeping his grades up.

It was during the first year of middle school that Academy City first drew his eye. A whole city-state full of souped-up whackos? Now that sounded like a blast! It only took a bit of persuading to convince his parents but in the end they reluctantly agreed. As long as it kept him out of trouble, right?[/indent]
[color=f7941d][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
[indent]George is one “cool cat”, as he likes to emphasize time and time again. He's loud, rowdy, excitable, someone who is always trying to find the thrill in mundane life. Optimism is like a freakin' plague around this guy. How could it not be, with this brother who's always willing to help out a pal, no matter how ridiculous the job. 

Yeah, you won't be callin' him a wet rag any time soon. George is a performer at heart. A natural showman who thrives under the spotlight. Hell, it'd be more accurate to call him an attention whore. The flashier the tricks, the easier it is to rake in the dough, right? Still, he puts a surprisingly honest amount of effort into his developing his show. The smiles make all the scrapes worth.

Despite his rockabilly aura, George is quite the klutz, physically and socially. To a casual acquaintance, he is more likely to be known for his clumsiness than his flamboyance. Well meaning as he is, it'd be a terrible idea to trust him with any kind of secret. His physical clumsiness shows its colors so frequently that it is a wonder that he has remained in one piece after so many years of living. People are more likely to tip him out of pity than because of his skill. Nevertheless, George possesses an indomitable will and enthusiasm. Sticks and stone can break his bones but you'd have to set all his possessions on fire before you even nick his spirit. He takes all his misfortunes in his stride, assuring himself that he’ll do better next time around.

Lastly, George constantly speaks in a selection of 50s and 60s slang. Something about “good vibes”, he claims. It is unknown how he manages to keep this up in English, much less in Japanese.[/indent]
[color=f7941d][b]Esper Power:[/b][/color]
[indent][b][u]Level 3: Grav Zone[/u] –[/b] Within a radius of five metres George can manipulate gravity, increasing it or decreasing it completely. The power applies to everything in the radius including George himself, though he can pick and choose which and how objects in the radius are manipulated, as long as they are in his line of sight. Gravity Zone doesn’t manipulate any forces or vectors besides gravity. For example if someone throws a dumbbell at George while Gravity Zone is activated, George can make it drop to the ground as soon as it enters the radius. However if George doesn’t make it drop hard enough to embed itself in the ground immediately, it will probably keep sliding due to its horizontal velocity and crush his toe.

George primarily uses his ability to perform balancing acts and acrobatic dances. It is also incredibly handy for transporting heavy goods like the Hot Box and leaping from building to building. In theory, George could jump to the moon if he wanted to but his parents have strictly forbidden him from it.[/indent]
