[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] History:[/b] 
[indent][hider= ]Edmund Hickomb’s life prior to Gold Morning was a relatively simple one. Both his parents were Capes in the New York Protectorate and were often gone for long stretches of time, leaving him in the care of his Aunt Helen. He had a relatively normal life, except the fact that both his parents were literal superheroes. 
Like his father, Edmund showed a natural aptitude towards gymnastics from an early age. Aunt Helen spent many hours trying to coax ed down from the roof, only to have him go clambering back up the second she turned her attention away. It wasn’t long before Ed started winning competitions. By fifteen, he had twenty medals!

And then, a little after his sixteenth birthday, Gold Morning happened. Both of Ed’s parents died in the ensuing fighting, leaving him with Aunt Helen permanently. She immediately took Ed and they both fled to Earth Samekh. Through her connections, she set the both of them up in a comfortable Apartment within Serstol.

He triggered a few months later, during a very dark period of the grieving process.

The first thing Ed did was sign up with the Junior Guard. He wanted to do right by his parents, and becoming a hero seemed like a good place to start. With new-found determination, he worked hard at it. He trained with his powers almost every day, worked alongside more experienced Capes and built a reputation as a solid, dependable hero. It wasn’t very long until his 18th birthday when he officially moved from the Junior Guard to the Final Guard, and that was the best day of his life. Finally, after so long, he’d done it. On the day of his initiation, he swore he’d make his parents proud.

[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] Motivation:[/b] Edmund's primary motivation is to live up to the standards set by his parents, who dedicated their lives to service. He wants to make his mom and dad proud by doing the best he can.

[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] Derangement:[/b]Edmund hasn't developed any Derangements as of yet, but there's still time.[/indent][/indent]

[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] Skills:[/b] Edmund is Gymnastic savant, and is exceptionally good at traversing any environment. Also, after a few years of training his abilities, he's gained an extremely good reaction speed.

[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] Classification:[/b] The GM will tell you what to put here after you power has been reviewed/approved.
[b][color=#000000]♦[/color] [u]Mechanics:[/u][/b] Edmund’s powers are two-fold, a mixing of the powers of his parents. He can change his own gravitational orientation, making up his down, and vice versa. When he alters his orientation, he will ‘fall’ in that direction like he is falling straight down, until he either makes contact with something or chooses to turn his direction. His body can also harden to prevent damage upon impact, but this only activates when he makes contact with surfaces whilst utilizing his abilities, and only lasts a few seconds.
His second ability is that he can focus on a point in his line of sight and either push it away from him or pull it towards him. If the item in focus weighs less than Edmund, it’ll be pushed or pulled. If the item weighs more than Edmund, he’ll be pushed or pulled away instead. For example, if he exerted the push power on a coin, it’ll be flung away. But, if he pushes against say, a concrete wall, he’ll be pushed away from the wall instead. Neither of these abilities affects living beings, nor anything that is in direct contact with a living being.
