Geo-Force

Geo-Force Portrayed by Bradley James Statistics Full Name Prince Brion of Markovia Age 22 Height 6'2" Build Athletic Eyes Blue Hair Blonde Factions Kingdom of Markovia Occupation Student/Politician Alignment Hero Claim to Fame Brion Markov is the Prince of Markovia, a small European nation bordering Slovenia and Italy. Reputation Geo-Force is the rumored secret weapon of the Markovian people, who helped suppress a terrorist uprising in 2013. Brion Markov, on the other hand, has spent much of his life in front of a camera as the Prince of Markovia. He's popular in magazines and on the internet. Biography Brion was born as the second son of the King and Queen of Markovia in 1993, and like his brother his birth was big news all across the continent and large parts of the world. He had an idyllic upbringing, especially since the Soviet Union began to fall apart prior to his birth. For most of these years, Markovia was a place of peace and tranquility until 2013 when the Bedlam Raids began. Baron Bedlam a local "freedom fighter," who operated more like a terrorist led a small coup attempt that began at the beginning of the year and continued into 2014. At times things looked very bleak for the Kingdom. So bleak, in fact, that when offered the opportunity for experimental treatments by a scientist known as Dr. Helga Jace, Brion jumped at the opportunity while his brother rebuffed it. After the procedure, Brion found that he had unbelievable powers and was able to control soil, rocks, lava, and even gravity! The Prince led a battalion of soldiers that made quick work of Bedlam's ragtag group and Markov became known as a great military leader. His secret, however, was kept safe by the men under his command. Rumors of a Land Warrior are rampant, however, in Markovian prisons where convicted separatists ended up. They called him the Great Geo-Force. Brion returned to Empire State University after the war to finish his college education in Political Science. Many of his professors gave him a lot of rope in his studies, given his family's place in the world and Brion's ability to tell a good war story at the bar. Now and again, he dons the garb he wore during the war in order to root out evil or go after threats to Markovia or the western world.

Character Details Personality For those who know him well, Brion Markov is a warm, folksy sort of conversationalist with high charisma. He works hard and is generally liked by his people and by the people he comes into contact with. He's respected by the bureaucracy of the nation and by his family as well. The dark side of Brion is his fierce temper. Usually this only comes out when he is feeling mocked, or if something has happened outside of his control. Once, when a member of the Drada threatened to filibuster Brion's social safety net enhancements in committee, Brion went to Igo Branislav's house himself to put a finger in the council person's face(without his father's permission). The King assured Branislav that his son, aged only 17 at the time, would not, in fact, stand against him in the Drada elections that fall. Nor would he take a baseball bat to Branislav's car as the young Prince threatened. Abilities Earth Manipulation Brion is able to control and manipulate the Earth as a function of his powers. Soil, sand, lava and rocks are all at his whim. In total, he can manipulate massive amounts of volume. The most he's ever done, back in the wars with Bedlam, were roughly the size of a submarine. Flight Geo-Force is able to fly in several ways. First, he can use molten lava jets from his arms as a means of propulsion. Second, he can simply manipulate the gravity around him and force himself around by manipulating gravitational pulls. Third, he can cover parts of his body with soil or rock and take a ride. Gravity Control Prince Markov can control gravity within close proximity to himself. This allows him to fly, or causes his opponents confusion. Often time it is used as a non-lethal way to apprehend those who need the guiding hand of justice. Healing Brion is able to heal from mortal wounds by immersing himself in the ground. His link to the Earth allows his body to bond itself and regain its constitution. Depending on the severity of the injury, he can either heal himself from light wounds or severe wounds. For more catastrophic trauma, he must remain in the ground for longer. Invulnerability The genetic testing that gave Brion powers also made his body invulnerable to low grade weaponry such as knives and firearms. Large munitions such as those from tanks can still do him severe damage and kill him. Leadership As part of his military responsibilities to his nation, Prince Brion became known as a fiery leader. It is true that his position in the family line made him a de facto leader through nepotism (as is their custom in his country). Nevertheless, the Prince led a battalion of troops in the recent war and was lauded by his men for his bravery and military strategy. Strength With his dense muscle structure, Geo-Force has awesome strength. He is able to lift about 50 lbs without use of his gravity powers. Unarmed Combat From a young age, the Prince was put through a rigorous regimen of training. His preferred martial art is tae kwon do, through which he has earned his black belt. Languages Brian speaks several languages including Markovian, English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Advantages Kingdom Of Markovia The Kingdom of Markovia is a small European nation between Italy and Slovenia. It also shared borders with Switzerland to the northwest and Austria immediately to the north. The official language of the nation is Markovian, but recognized languages include German, Italian, and Slovanic languages depending upon which region of Markovia is being discussed. It's terrain is mountainous, and it has vast natural resources. It is landlocked. The Royal Family of Markovia has ruled since the the 1500s and came to power where they led the defense of the tiny nation in wars against both the Hapsburgs and the Ottomans. In the 20th century, Markovia was invaded on two sides by the Italians and the Nazis. A small liberation force beat the Axis powers back before the onset of the Soviets, which probably led to their independence in the Cold War and their separation from the Iron Curtain. The Markovian King also promoted a socialist, yet democratic society, which probably helped. Currently, Markovia is a constitutional democracy where the King serves as the Head of State, the Head of the Military, and presides over the parliament (Drada) with veto powers subject to over ride. Brion of Markovia is the second son (also the second child) of the King. He also has an illegitimate sister by the name of Tara who lives in the United States. He is second in line to the throne. Family Brion's family is extremely influential within the politics of Europe. Markovia is split up into different districts which are run by governors who are family members. Usually, these family members end up marrying other highly placed political or noble families, spreading the connections. King Markov and his sons sit at the center of it. Wealth According to Forbes magazine, the Markovian family is worth approximately 1.27 billion dollars and has access to large quantities of coal, forestry, and iron. Most of their wealth, however, comes through investments in some of the world's most important stock exchanges. Education Brion has been the beneficiary of some of the best private school. More hardworking than brilliant, he has spent time in England, the United States, and France during his adolescence. He recently graduated with a degree in Political Science from Empire State University in the United States. Disdvantages Temper Despite being mostly well tempered, Brion has an explosive temper, especially when mocked or threatened. He is accostomed to having his say and having it only questioned by those extremely close to him. When someone runs afoul of this set up, he tends to get extremely terse on his good days and very loud on his bad days. Proximity To Land Due to his altered DNA, Brion must have consistent contact with the Earth. While in air or on sea (or heaven forbid in space), his powers continually drain. In addition to feeling fatigued, Brion will lose the ability and control of his powers. Death Threats Markov has received more than a handful of death threats in recent years. Near the Balkans, Markovia is set in a region of flux between the Christians and Islamic populations, and has been at the mercy of the cultural back and forth since well back to the Byzantine era. High Stakes Brion consistently feels under great pressure stemming from the decisions he makes. His father routinely puts him in charge of military and social affairs when his older brother Gregor needs assistance. It's a lot to take on for such a young man.
