Stats

Full Name: Gio Lorenz
Nickname: Gio, G
Alias: Nope. None yet.
Birthday: April 5, 1981
Age: 27 years old
Power: Terrakinesis & Biological Healing

Personality

Inner:
Gio believes that there are no in-betweens. There are only extremes. Either you’re one of the good guys or you’re one of the bad guys. Wrong or right. Weak or strong.

Because of this thinking, Gio is quick to pass judgment on himself to be on the better end of the continuum. Though far from being a perfectionist, he would push hard to be always excellent and on top of any situation. To be always the best. And when he fails to do this and make the wrong decisions, he’d be furious. Some would say that he’s hard on others, but the truth is, Gio is harder on himself. He’d cover up his insecurities with a mask of indifference or of sarcasm. Deep inside, though, he’s a pretty lonely guy, but he’d rather die than admit this weakness to anyone. That, and his compulsion to protect anyone weaker than him.

Exteriour:
Gio is the type of guy who doesn’t care much for appearances. He looks great in any clothes he wears in, though he seems oblivious to this. He’s good-looking and attractive, but what attracts women to him is his confidence and sureness in what he does. He can do the most difficult thing with ease and fools you into thinking it wasn’t that hard to do (although it was but he’ll never admit to it). He has the need to prove himself to others constantly and would sometimes act without thinking. This would get him into trouble most often than not, but his luck and incredible sense of timing would bail him out of it. He is smart, and at times, deviously cunning, but his morality would prevent him from using his powers to harm or manipulate others. He is extremely distrustful, and his respect is hard to earn. Once you did, though, his loyalty is unwavering.

Gio is anything but shy. He will tell you exactly what is on his mind bluntly, and often, harshly. He has no time for dillydallies or small talks, but would go directly to the point. Impatience had always been one of his more prominent flaws. He is sarcastic if provoked and would reduce a lesser man to nothing with his cutting wit. He can be sometimes cold and cruel, but he is generally one of the heroes.

Appearance

Natural Hair Colour: Dark brown
Eye Colour: Silver-blue
Height: 6’2
General:
Most would have a first impression of Gio as arrogant and egoistic. He always looks as if he has the whole world upon his shoulders. He seldom smiles, the trademark frown on his face more familiar.
Though he doesn't have a body-builder's built, he does have a wide chest, his body lean and athletically-built. His most prominent feature, however, is his eyes. It can go from cold steel from one minute to dancing quick silver the next. His eyes speaks volumes about what he thinks or feels, but he, often, is trying to cover this up.
Desired Celebrity: Gaspard Ulliel

History

Hometown: San Antonio, Texas
Relatives:
George Lorenz- father; dead
Dallas Lorenz- mother; dead
A missing younger sister he’s been trying hard to find, Andrea Lorenz

General:
Gio had his powers for as long as he can remember. It had been an inborn ability. However, as a child, he’d never been able to control fully his powers, and after one particular outburst when he was 7, he had been taken away from his family and subjected to experiments. He was 25, when he had finally mustered up enough strength to escape from the experiment labs. The first place that he thought of was home, but reaching it, his family was gone and the only place that greeted him was the lifeless, desolate ground where once stood a house. The neighbors told him his parents were long dead, but his sister, Andrea, who like him also had powers of her own, was taken. Not long after he had arrived, a few men from the labs arrived. He managed to evade them, but he had been in hiding eversince, knowing fully well that there was a manhunt going on. Running for his safety, while at the same time, searching for his sibling, he came to San Luis Obispo County, California. That was also the same day the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant melted. Instead of dying from the sheer force of the impact, Gio acquired another ability. This time, the power was too great, that it consumes more than half of his energy just by using it. It was also very erratic, very unstable, and quite uncontrollable, that the first time he accidentally used it, he barely lived. Due to this, he was careful to contain it, more preferring to use his first ability.

By some chance, he had heard that there was a place for those people like him. He decided to come to this Safe Haven he heard so much about.

Role-play Example:
Gabriel entered the establishment, looking every bit like someone straight out of a magazine, instead of someone who actually worked there. He was unaware of the lingering stares he got from the ladies, and the grunts of disapproval from the gents. Of course, he had always been so clueless of how good he looks. He wasn’t the type of guy who’d spend much time and energy on physical appearances. Maybe that was part of his charm---his being ignorant of his effect on the women.
Yes, there had been a lot of come-hither-looks from them, and a lot of sexual innuendos from the strippers in the club, but Gabe had always managed to avoid their advances without sounding like a jerk. He was careful to step on nobody’s toes, finding excuses here and there, but knowing fully well that he’ll soon run out of them. Try as he might though, his resistance and indifference only served to add more to the allure and mystery that was Gabriel Alberts. It only made them double their efforts, making them bolder by the minute. It was enough for a guy to feel uncomfortable working in that place.

Joe Specks, the burly fifty-something-year old cook, would often tell him to get himself a girlfriend. It was a surefire way of fending others off. But Gabriel had laughed himself to tears at the cook’s advice. He told him it was like jumping from one hot cauldron to the next. You get yourself out of one mess, only to find out you’re in another. Besides, the last girlfriend he had was 2 years ago, and even that didn’t turn out well. She had been extremely possessive of him and jealous of any woman who so much as stare at Gabriel for more than 5 seconds. Feeling suffocated, he had decided to end the relationship.

That was before he came to New York.

Now that he’s three months old in the place, he had to adjust to the changes that came his way. Part of that includes dodging advances from much too aggressive women in the workplace. Oh, they were beautiful, no doubt about it. But Gabriel just wasn’t interested.

He proceeded towards the bar, taking off his leather jacket as he made his way there. As he put on his apron, however, he noticed one girl dancing on stage. She was young--- younger than the others, and a lot more gorgeous to boot. She looked preoccupied and a bit…sad, perhaps? Though moving seductively to the music, Gabriel could tell she was hating every minute of what she was doing. There was something in her eyes that speaks of painful experiences too hurtful for lips to talk of. She looked as if she carried the whole world in her small, slim shoulders, and Gabriel couldn’t help the spark of curiosity that she had aroused in him to know what had caused this.

He saw her walked over to him and ordered a vodka tonic, which he had promptly delivered. She was the only one sitting on a barstool. The other costumers were on tables. Hoping that he was subtle, he began stealing long side-glances at her.

On stage, she was stunning, but up close, she was definitely breathtaking, not to mention, sexy as hell! Gabriel had to force himself to look to her face and to her face only, not to other certain tempting parts of her. This was proven difficult to do, considering she was wearing nothing but a small stringed bikini. Nervously, he gulped.

“Hey. Haven’t seen you around. Are you new here?” Gabriel said, giving a small lopsided grin to cover up his nervousness . He had hoped she would talk to him, but she only gave him a fixed smile that gave him the impression that she was not in the mood for a conversation. Getting the hint, Gabriel nodded, mentally smacking himself for acting pathetically. Opting instead to stay quiet ‘til another costumer will come around or until she finishes her drink, he decided to study her as silently as he could.
