Powers:

Gravity Control (i): his sole super human ability, this rather versatile power has allowed the otherwise useless lump of flesh that is Gregory to blossom into a serious criminal. He wields this power with intensity 15 ability, though he hasn't developed all that many power stunts with it thus far.

Aside from this power's standard uses, Gregory can perform the following tricks:

* Flight / Levitation (a): one skill that Gregory particularly enjoys is his ability to float above others; by using his power to reduce his effective weight (if not mass) to zero, then using anti-gravity to repulse himself from matter in his area, he can levitate with intensity 10 ability, and fly at intensity 5 airspeed.

Or, in other words, approximately 90 miles per hour.

* G-Punch (s): his trademark move, this stunt drastically increases Gregory's melee damage. In the midst of an unarmed strike, he has mastered the art of dramatically increasing the gravitational attraction between his target and his fist (or foot, etc...), allowing him to inflict damage as though his Strength was 15.

How he avoids breaking himself when doing this is currently unknown.

Equipment:

(none)

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Boxing (s): while he lacks practical skills for the most part, Gregory has nonetheless learned how to defend himself over the years; his colorless imagination has required this, after a fashion. As such, he can divide his pre-cardplay action score between two melee attacks, the second occurring as a contingent action.

Thievery (a): since he has no prospects, Gregory has descended into a life of crime - and oddly, he excels at it. He should receive a reduction in the difficulty of actions applicable to the planning or perpetration of a theft, whether it involves dealing with locks, security systems, or planning his getaway.

Calling:

Greed: both before and after his mutant powers manifested, Gregory was only interested in the acquisition of vast amounts of wealth, only he didn't consider actually working hard - or at all - to get it. He'll go out of his way to steal things of value that catch his eye, usually regardless of any consequences.

Costume:

Gregory doesn't wear a 'villain' costume, per se, so much as he simply dresses in his usual style in the perpetraton of some crime or another. This entails a pair of blue jeans worn too low on his hips (over boxer briefs of various hues), a 'muscle' T-shirt, a baseball cap on sideways, and lots of gold chains.

Personality:

Gregory lacks imagination altogether. He's latched onto the whole 'gangsta' thing and pretends he was born to the role; as soon as the next 'bad' thing comes along, he's likely to adopt that public persona instead. Swaggering and obnoxious, his acquisition of powers has only enhanced his ability to annoy...

Special Role-Playing Notes:

Gregory is a wannabe rapper, a'la Vanilla Ice (hence the name - only marginally related to his power). He loves the whole gold chains, baseball cap on sideways, and pants inside out, backwards, and halfway down his hips thing. Yeah, he's a low-grade poser, but he doesn't even know it.

Story:

Gregory was a small-time hood that was going nowhere fast. Having no practical skills, and having grown up in a strange childhood that saw him developing no imagination whatsoever, he quickly descended into a life of petty crime - one that saw him thrown in jail for several years.

Well, eleven months really, thanks to jail overcrowding. Regardless, having a felony conviction (grand theft-auto), Gregory had a hard time acquiring a real job, and figured he'd just steal his way to riches and glory. On his first heist after his parole, things went wrong... and he'd been cornered by the Man.

Not wanting to go back to the Joint, Gregory was ready to go out shooting, but something changed his plans. Before he could get himself killed by a bunch of angry cops, Gregory's overwhelming urge to escape culminated in his rocketing away from the scene suddenly, vertically, in the blink of an eye.

Hitting the upper atmosphere before he figured out what was going on, Gregory almost passed out from lack of oxygen, but drifted back down enough to see that, somehow, he'd learned how to fly. He played with this ability for a little while, buzzing the rooftops of his Boise neighborhood, and grew very happy.

The cops couldn't stop him now.

Over time, Gregory learned that flight wasn't his actual power, so much as the ability to control gravity itself; various hijinks and amusing situations over a six month period made this somewhat apparent. While he can use the power in most of its basic forms, he's developed few new stunts with his mutant ability.

Save for his G-punch. Gregory has combined his two stunts to make for a highly formidable criminal enterprise, especially since hardly anybody can figure out who's stealing it - or how their stuff is disappearing. Much less how those gigantic holes were showing up in rooftops across the city.

Just as his little empire was taking form, Gregory was summoned forth by Elys, who offered to pay Gregory a whole lot of money to do her bidding. Thinking this easier than stealing stuff the hard way, Gregory agreed despite his inherent fear of the oversized, dragon techno-sorceress.

So, now working for the dread beast, he joined her other minions in the so-called Tenacious Ten, and did battle with a gaggle of heroes attempting to deal with the dragon. While his fellows softened them up, Gregory sat back and watched the fight from afar, only entering when it looked like the Ten were beaten.

Which they pretty much were.

He then made his dramatic entrance, and did indeed do a respectable amount of damage to the heroes before him; despite his lack of imagination, his power is pretty dangerous all by itself. Gregory was ultimately beaten like his fellows, though he was one of the last ones standing.

Before those intrepid 'heroes' could do something to him while he was down, Elys then teleported Gregory and his compatriots to safety, most likely in order to make use of them again at some future point. Elys was herself slain shortly thereafter, meaning that Gregory and company were out of a job.

Having rematerialized in a California orchard, Gregory and company were left to fend for themselves. What he and the other members of the Tenacious Ten are up to these days is currently unknown. However, many of them have unfulfilled promises to get revenge for - especially where money is concerned...!
