## Appearance

Almost all of the time George is in his signature dark gray suit and dark gray horse mask. With the suit he wears a black dress shirt and a dark gray tie. The horse mask is dark gray with black hair and a streak of white that trails from the hair down the nose of the mask. Similar to Mr. Black he wears black gloves as well, completely hiding his identity to anyone.

Under the mask George is an Asian man with slightly tanned skin. Most notably he has a scar over his left eye. The scar itself being a single gash created by the tip of a sword.

## History

### **Early Life (1985-2024)**

Where George was born is unknown, he was abandoned at a extremely young age, being taken into an orphanage when he was a baby. He would quickly be adopted by Choi Yeong-Su, better known as Sinsan, along with his brother William.

Sinsan would raise George up along with his brother and during their early teen years the two would undergo training. The most notable Jiu-Jitsu and Iaijutsu. George would undergo this training for many years. Eventually after a falling out with his brother William which resulted in George nearly getting his left eye slashed and Sinsan stepping down as leader of the Guardians George himself would join the Guardians.

During his time with the Guardians George would train under Sentinel, Sinsan's greatest disciple and new leader of the Guardians. Here George would learn a more HEMA style of sword fighting and preform Special OPs level training. He would also finally pick up the name George as a cover name for both when on any jobs and to hide his identity to the other Guardians outside of Sentinel. Very quickly George would become a well known and respected Guardian. Around 2002 George would be called upon by the Lucky 13 to assassinate Mr. Black. Making haste George would be quick to act, however during his encounter with Mr. Black he would let his guard down letting Mr. Black get the upper hand. In the moment Mr. Black would spare George's life and offer him to join Paradise Corporation. Uncharacteristically George agreed, becoming one of the first members of Paradise Corporation. From this point onward George would act as Mr. Black's right hand man and also act as a voice of reason to Mr. Black, keeping him grounded.

### **I Will Give You My All (2025 Onward)**

After the Dead War and more specifically during the Hell Patrol Initiative George would be put into an active leadership position of Paradise Corporation. This would happen again when Mr. Black along with Sentinel disappeared after the war with The Watchers. George would act as a key member in the search for Mr. Black and Sentinel though not taking full leadership role.

## Personality

George is a quiet individual and that's the best way to describe him. Similar to that of Eagle he keeps a lot of things close to the chest, not really giving off emotions. So much so that even off mission he will continue to conceal his face from the others and talks to an extreme minimum that some outside The Beasts and Paradise Corporation think that he is a mute. Also just like Eagle he is very straight to the point when talked to, but even more so giving very concise and short answers. He may not speak a lot but when he does it either means a lot or it will stick with you.

He has a history outside "The Beasts" when it comes to the criminal underworld. After joining The Beasts he was asked his kill count over the years which he responded with “It doesn’t matter”. The only reason this is brought up is because he was good enough to be hired by a member of the Lucky 13 to try and kill Mr. Black. To be hired by someone in that group to kill a threat to them must mean they are efficient in their job. The best in class.

When George gets down to work he is concise and he is efficient. Though he has thought out plans and strategies to every encounter he goes into, he is very good at adapting and turning a failure around within seconds to make it look as if it were part of a plan. For the most part however his plans work out and he can get a job done clean. The only real thing to add to this is that he usually does his own way when it comes to missions, sure he may have a commanding leader but when it comes to actually doing a task he’ll do it his way.

This may come as a surprise considering all the other things that have been said about him but he has a heart. Not the mushy soft-heart kind but rather one of honor. That would be the best word to describe George, honor. He respects his opponents, especially when they give him respect.

## Powers and Abilities

### **Human Agility**

Because of George's training he is in his peak physique being extremely strong and having high endurance. His reaction time and reflexes are also extremely fast being able to take on the more trained warriors when in an even playing field.

With a combination of training and own natural intuition George is an extremely thoughtful combatant. He is able to plan and improvise extremely well and quickly, along with being able to adapt to whoever he is fighting. This skill has only gotten better and better with age and wisdom, especially during his time with Paradise Corporation fighting many unconventional enemies. Outside of combat George's wit and wisdom also comes in handy for other tasks such as manning vehicles, general book knowledge, and many other skillful activities. The only place in which George falters is in more social situations. Though he is not awkward he is extremely timid.

### **Guardian Training**

Due to his training as a child and as a Guardian George has picked up most basic material arts along with training with many firearms. This makes him an extremely versatile adversary that can adapt to many different types of opponents. Some of the different fighting styles that George is capable of include: Tai Chi, Jujustu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, MMA, Combat pistol shooting, Bare-knuckle boxing, HEMA, along with a handful of others.

### **God's Gift**

George's God's Gift is "Centuries Breath" which allows him to become briefly invisible and entirely quiet. The invisibility is not a cloak or anything of that nature but rather a lack of being. This means that he is also invisible to heat sensors or anything of that sort. He becomes a lack of being.

## Trivia

* Though being able to get any food he wants, George’s favorite food is instant-ramen.
* George chooses to only use a pistol in most combat situations to limit himself and to help train more.
	+ Specifically George limits himself a Welrod which is single action, requiring the user to re-cock the gun after each shot. Mr. Black would eventually provide George with a modified Welrod that shoots in semi-automatic.
