Gaia username: AD Reaper Elyse Wanted legacy/villain: Terra RP sample:
Geiza, that was the name she was given at birth. It was a good name. At least that’s what she’d been told as she grew to adulthood in Strata. Now here she was in a congested city of the surface people whom she was now tasked with protecting in equal effort to protect Strata. Despite her knowledgeable past and experience over her many years of existence Geiza couldn’t quite find her bearings in this city. Kinked dirty blonde hair, olive skin and vibrant green eyes of a slightly above average height [5’10], but ethnicity that seemed foreign in these lands. Eyes trailed her movements and her garb though attempting to follow the custom of the area seemed to do little to hide the fact that she didn’t belong. Geiza struggled with remembering, it was a part of the side effects. She was a scientific engineer, or at least some part of her was in her previous life, but the persona and legacy she’d dawned through genetically altering herself had shifted her entire being. She was reborn a girl of this surface world and no longer bearing the full physiology of a native Stratan.
Mind in a fog of confusion and struggling to pull her self together as she’d stumble along an alleyway where the smell of local cattle carried on the hot air. Finding shade on the back step of some building complex she’d look around her as a small river of people passed her by. The mass of people and number slowed and receded to a trickle as time passed, and with time her head cleared enough to form conclusions of her predicament. Knowing where she was important in trying to combat the anxiety that grounded her to her seat here. What was the name of this area again…It’s what some call the cradle of their civilization, but there’s a modern name….hmm, Oh, yes. Pakistan was the name.
Slowly she’d grasp at the wall behind the seat of the step she’d found, but as Geiza found her footing, which was still shaky she found herself meet with a group people looking at her asking her something in a language she vaguely understood. My mind has to adjust, but I-I should be able to speak to them. Apparently from what was being said they were concerned with her wellbeing. Some took notice to her foreign ethnicity and wondered if she’d gotten hurt or sick while on vacation. Geiza simply shook her head and found the words to explain to them she was simply, lost. ”I’m looking for a place… called Nanda Parbat?”
A silence fell over the handful of people who seemed interested to get involved. From the group there was a small older woman maybe in her fifties with graying hair, yet there was this humble beauty to her as she’d take Geiza by the arm and lead her from the clump of people into a walking pace to some place. Mind clearing the noise of the city seemed so much clearer and deafening. Which city in Pakistan this was she wasn’t sure but Geiza knew she was close to where she needed to be. Taking a moment before speaking the old woman, Latika, she’d introduce would start by asking Geiza’s name before explaining. ”My names Geiza…I-I can’t remember much other than I’m here seeking someone from Nanada Parbat. A…a call *ugf...to defend the earth.” An amused expression spread across the old womans face and some gleam of youth returned to the furrow of her brow Geiza’s earlier question brought to her expression. ”nanada parbat…is a sacred place that only those in pilgrimage seek, but…I’m sorry to say dear girl that it’s mostly spoken of s a myth. A place akin to Shangri-la, one of the hidden cities cut off from the worldly vices of our current world.”
“ I wish I could help you more but I’d say your search might be looking for a ruin at best, and a fairy tale at worst. Yet your reason for seeking it out seems like something from a fairytale. I’d say you should find someone or someplace to sleep and rest yourself, and if returning home is an option… ”
Geiza stopped walking and stood up straight for the first time since she’d arrived here showing her full stature. She seemed to tower over the old woman and would bean down on her with a smile of pure sincerity. ”I can’t go home, and I’ve no place to go but there…Myth or not I’ve a destiny that I’m not going to run from. ” A scowl came over Latika’s face and she’d take my hand once more leading me to a building, or maybe it was a warehouse about a mile from where she’d found me on the edge of the city. The entrance they entered into the building from was a small wooden door that Geiza had to duck down to enter into, but once inside she’d find a menagerie of people in what looked like a smoking parlor an lounge. Latika lead Geiza to a open floor room with a decorative carpet laid out upon concrete stone.
Before her stood two individuals, one a man, the other a woman standing parallel to on another at the center of the carpets spiral decoration. Extending her hand out to the two Latika would gesture for me to step before her. ”Ask them your question, and see what answers your receive. Though, you maybe disappointed with the answer, but youth persist to seek things out even if they aren’t there to be found. ” spoken in the tone of a proverb Latika would withdraw from the space of the large carpeted area and wait at the edge awaiting something.
The two before Geiza were robed in white and brown garbs. Both had jet-black hair and bronze skin with dark eyes standing just as tall as Geiza. Approaching the two Geiza would clumsily stumble over a ridge in the carpet and find her footing just a foot away from the two who seemingly on instinct bowed as soon as she’d made it this close to their proximity. The air of the situation was awkward, but things had gone much more smoothly than she’d thought if someone was willing to give a good or bad answer to her search for Nanda Parbat. ”Uh, yes. I-I’m in search of Nanda Parbat. There’s someone or something there that’s called to me. It has to do with the protection of the earth.”
Heads still bowed she’d hear no reply from the two before her. They seemed as if they’d become statues or maybe always were statues the entire. It was disappointing but Geiza refused to move from her spot until she’d heard a response. Though she did shoot a glance of confusion and curiosity back at the old woman, Latika would simply shrug in apathetic conjecture. Yet suddenly a voice came, both voices in unison. ”Nanda Parbat is not a place that those of low resolve may traverse to. Show us your resolve, and we shale sheppard your pilgrimage. ” an shift in stance as they straightened their spine from their bow to a combative stance. ”Wha what, awe common I didn’t think people here would want to test me, especially not like …”
Cut off by a flurry of kicks and punches that easily found their mark on Geiza’s chest, face and shoulder sent her spinning out to the edge of the spiraled design clawing at the ground with a dribble of blood leaking from her lip. As Geiza found her head in another cloud of confusion again this time one formed from pain rather than simple disorientation, she’d feel the ground beneath her. It was hard, but it felt like, Home. Coming to a knee as her combatants simply stood in their former formal pose, hand behind their backs and the hood of the robes un-moved, as if their action barely disheveled their person…a tremor? The round subtly shook beneath the two who seemed to only slightly sway as Geiza found her bearings again. Watching this and giving her the room to recover the pair would ask her once more, ”DO YOU HAVE THE RESOLVE!”
Running back at the two Geiza would swing at them as the ground seemed to quake and sway beneath the pair, but this came to no avail as they swayed with the earth and dodged fluidly from sided to side simply watching her punches pass by like a breeze. Slamming her foot into the ground and grasping at the air Geiza instinctively reached towards the ground and wretched her arm back to pull at the air. Yet this action didn’t only move her arm and the air in it’s space, but the ground ripped through the carpeting as a chunk of concrete. Pulling the earth from the rear of the male it seemed she’d gotten the upper hand on him before he’d duck at an near precognitive speed to dodge the boulder and allow it to fly straight for Geiza’s face. Though frustrated and angry Geiza’s mood would flip to fear as she’d panic and quickly thrust out her palm at the rock on coarse for her face closing her eyes tight as she’d brace for impact.
Yet there would be no hard force knocking her back to the ground as nothing but a plume dust seemed to sift through her finger and onwards through her hair blowing open the local garb she was wearing that hid the “uniform” she wore underneath. A Cropped yellow and red striped jacket the exposed her midsection and blue jeans wrapped in belts that seemed to hold some tools of some sort. Noticing that she was still not harmed Geiza would timidly open one eye looking past her splayed fingers at the two who’d riled her up in the first place. Shaking the dust from her hair and the rest of her self, as they both seemed rather pleased with themselves. It didn’t show in their “non-expression” faces, but something about the air around them seemed to speak volumes of what they took away from what just happened. Looking at them with an annoyed expression of her own and then back at Latika who was still watching with clasped hands before her face as to hold back a gasp. Geiza would step fort again into the space of her “testers”.
A sudden unified utterance from the pair would stop Geiza again as they would deliberate. ”You Lack, grace, You Lack composure, You Lack finesse, You Lack clarity, You Lack faith…But YOU DO NOT LACK RESOLVE EARTH MOVER. A meeting in Nanda Parbat awaits you, and the road to accepting your Legacy as the protector of Earth, Champion Terra.”
”Terra? Tara. Terra. Atlee, Me…W-we are…” Fainting at the words into the suddenly appearing arms of the female monk, Geiza would be given some more time to rest before facing the path Nanda Parbat and fulfilling her destiny.
Are you a fan of the series, are you familiar with this character? I’ve familiarized myself with the character since I choose her, but originally I’m most acquainted with the CN Teen Titan series version of her and my knowledge of Terra was built out from there to extend back to the first Terra from the comics and then onto the third Terra “Atlee”. Also yea I’m a fan of DC comics I grew up on their shows, mainly Justice League/Unlimited, superman adventures, and batman adventures, etc. Do you promise to be as active as possible if we grant you this privilege? Yeah, as long as there’s thing going on I’ll try and insert myself in them if it makes sense and I’ll follow my characters agenda and Mission. I’ll seek out help or participants for things that I want to explore with the character but I know Role Play is like stage acting at times and you have to have the stage etiquette to know when your story isn’t the only one, and I’m good and alright with just taking a supporting role or backseat to other things.

[General Information]
Name: Geiza [Gæ - y - zå], Rasaan Nicknames: Earth Mover, G, Terra, Earths Champion, Yellow Vigilante Titles: Terra, Champion of Strata Age: Biologically [20], Chronologically [200] Birthday: September, 8 (Surface Time) Star sign: Virgo Gender: Female Race:Stratan [Earths Alien Deep Subterranean Humanoids] Alliance: Anti-Hero Personality: [Core Personality] Geiza is a Dutiful, Intuitive, and Outspoken Visionary among her people. Although born and raised in the simplistic society of Strata where social graces and deceptions are in sparse use. Geiza has always had an instinct for understanding that what one wants isn’t always acceptable in the eyes of all those around you, therefore to sate your bizarre desires the use of lies, secrets, and compromise are necessary for two opposing thoughts to coexist and she has no aversion to using these to meet her own ends. Coexistence and balance are the base principles in which Geiza lives her life. She believes all things have a right to live, even if their nature is destruction, they contribute to the cycle of death and new life, destruction (chaos) and construction (order) live as two sides of the same coin defining and permitting the materialization of the other in sheer opposition of each other. Raised in the Stratan society that draws a close connection to the earth and it’s housing of the Stratan alien body she calls home, the cycle of change and a respect for the forces to perpetuate this are deeply engrained in her, but she finds any excessive push in either ordered or chaotic actions to be profane. The sins of greed and gluttony are things she finds the most distasteful in a person due to them having no end or balance to ones consumption. Having desires aren’t wrong to her and any emotion can be rationalized but to take so much that you stagnate the motion of change Geiza finds issue with allowing a force like this to continue with out an equal counter to it’s existence.
Believing her role to her people was in helping to sustain the order and peace they’d enjoyed for centuries, Geiza became an engineer in both mechanical constructs and biology. In this practice she found that she enjoyed tinkering with the mold of things. Experimenting with her boundaries in her surroundings is Geiza’s favorite pass time and she takes pleasure in being off putting and quirky, often finding joy in darker humor and exploring the counter culture of the society she resides in, but obviously this is only to see what the tipping point of acceptance is to the people around her. She isn’t a proud person and humbly believes herself a small part of a greater picture, but in no means is there anyone who stand far and away as irreplaceable. The “machine” of the cosmos runs with a ruthless efficacy, and if there was anything she believed in as a faith construct it is in this “machine”. Geiza has a restless streak and she can become board rather easily. She’s playful and enjoys expressing herself often not biting her tongue about what bothers her or brings a thought to her mind. Though she has learned to subvert her thinking aloud a bit since coming to the surface.
[The Mantle of Terra] Do to her devotion to her people (and regrets and guilt at the faith of her young predecessors) she choose to take the mantle as “champion of Strata”. Geiza had her genetics altered to intertwine the genes coding of the previous Terra’s before her. This act has left her mental state subconsciously mixed with that of her predecessors bearing a mix of some of their innate fears, anxieties, and desires with in her psyche, but where they’d been truly young girls verging on powers that were vastly overwhelming at times. Geiza brings a sense of balance, maturity (though still young by stratan biology), and optimistic pragmatism between the apparitions of Terra’s past. Her inner thoughts are sometimes interwoven into ”The Council of Terra’s” with her discussing choices and feelings with the past Terra’s; Geiza playing largely the mediator to this sub-consciousness. In this way they live on in her genetically and to some degree spiritually adding their experiences to better inform Geiza of her relative adaptation to the society on the surface, but there are times where this advice or intrinsic awareness of what’s awkward or embarrassing comes to her mind a moment to late to stop her from enacting said moment. So she is often times dull in her reflexes to protect her modesty or cover a gap in her knowledge even after learning the customs of where she is herself the “others” sometimes fog her awareness.

Fears: Failing her Mission, Black Atom (subconscious aversion), Betrayal, Betraying her Friends and Strata’s trust, Losing control of her power. Darkest Secret: The truth and existence of the “Blood of Strata”, Quixium, and it’s full potential to change the entire surface world. It has the power to easily solve many of their geo-political conflicts, but the introduction of it’s power could also open up a new stage of much more advanced conflict on a planetary level, or possibly cause the corruption of the species or others. Favourite Food: Seasoned Spicy Lamb kabob, Rook-worm stew (strata food) Favourite Drink: Apple Cider and Coffee Least Favourite Food: Custard Least Favourite Drink: Milkshakes Loyalties: Strata (Earth), Nanba Parbat, (possibly) Teen titans, (hopefully) Green Lanterns.

Cherished Items: “Hammer-Head” Red Cap: A Red base-all cap that belongs to a automotive-body shop that gave Geiza her first job on the surface, and commemorates the first time since leaving Strata that she felt like she could make the surface her home.
Quixium Container: A specially made container for storing recovered Quixium element deposits. It’s a key tool to the mission of removing what harm this element might cause to the life on Earths surface. (Kind of works like a bag of holding for quixium.)
Philosophical/social viewpoint:“Coexistence and balance are the base principles in which I live my life. I believes all things have a right to live, even if their nature is destruction, they contribute to the cycle of death and new life, destruction (chaos) and construction (order) live as two sides of the same coin defining and permitting the materialization of the other in sheer opposition of each other. Change is inevitable and essential to keeping the “Machine” moving; so all “EVIL” isn’t necessarily bad but simply a benchmark of the coming change. I don’t fear change. I don’t fear the bizarre. I explore it and at times I’ll encourage it.”
Religious viewpoint: She isn’t traditionally religious, but she does believe in a “Cosmic Machine”, as a concept of existence working as a self sustaining ultimate machine perfect in form and function.
Romantic viewpoint: Geiza feels there is a psychic and physical mechanical logic to relationships. Which is essentially little different from what Humans call “romantic chemistry”, but her Ideal is that this coupling produces a better result out of the two individuals in all endeavors they pursue. Relationships are to test the possibility to reach new heights with the one you share your strengths and weaknesses with, yet there’s no sense in being content as remaining the same people they meet as. You should be ever pursuing a new plateau in yourself and your spouse.
Biography
The story of Geiza Rasaan begins with her injection into the surface worlds population in the middle of Pakistan. Geiza selected this area as her point of entry into the human world above Strata because of a suggestive message she’d dreamed as she recovered from the operation that spliced her genetic code to match and mix with that of the prior Terra’s. In this dream she saw visions of a city in the valley of a snowy mountain gilded with golden roofed towers. Places were a welcoming voice called to her. Later she would come to Pakistan and find monks under the tutelage of the master of this hidden city, Nanba Parbat. Her pilgrimage was a test in her character and new abilities as she’d come face to face with the nature of “justice” in the human world. Theft was prevalent in a poverty stricken world but the greater theft was the greed in those who had more than enough to survive and prosper ten times over past their current state of living. The justice of equality dictated to her that all should be given the same amount to survive, but it diminished from the justice of merit where those who earned more through working harder and better would gain more and these moralities seemed rather advanced for Geiza.
The pilgrimage through the mountains of Pakistan heading north into the higher points of the Himalaya’s treated her to the simple lives that some people could lead, but the call to a greater family in ones state had called them towards violence and faith built a justice all it’s own. Geiza had livd her entire life simply consumed by the pleasure and energy of the sciences of her society, and in all honesty there was some responsibility in her people to share their progress with their human cousins, but would humanity really learn anything about how to settle the pains of the human condition if they intervened. The shock of becoming human and now being able to impart count herself among these diverse and struggling creatures made her both proud and bereft with conflict of her ability to serve her purpose. Once Geiza had made a realization about her humanity and that she would guardian a balance that bridges humanities passage to enlightenment she was greeted with the passageway into Nanba Parbat where she met Rama Kushna. Rama was a goddess or rather some kind of eternal being that had possession of cosmic influence or energies that made her a part of the very fabric of reality. To call Rama a she was presumptuous since her being seemed to be fluid and not mater to a gender binary. Yet her femininity and strength made her seem like second mother to the aspiring Geiza who’d yet to master her abilities and her minds new state of fracture between several beings all having held the mantle of Terra.
Geiza was called there by Rama to act as a second hand of faith so to speak. Rama had many agents of her will to uphold the balance between Good and Evil. Destruction and Construction, but she’d seen into the plights of the worlds Future and the devastation of the very fabric of all realities having been torn and compressed called for her to initiate greater power to champion the mission of balancing the cosmos. Geiza wasn’t her first or most well known champion, as a man by the name of Dead-Man had that honor. He was a spirit that was tethered to the mortal realm by faith and possibly Rama herself so that he could act on her behalf. The question as to why a awesome being such as Rama would need a champion made no sense. In time the truth of Rama herself being chained to her own essence of never tipping the scales of the universe in either way made her own hands imperfect to any task concerning them, yet she had the power to educate. Which she did for centuries and millennia before humanity and likely beyond…
The scope of her purpose was never made clearer in the months of Geiza’s training where her powers were prohibited and her mind was the main tool of her training. Though she was powerful as her people had mad sure she was sufficiently capable of defending herself before releasing her into the world above she lacked the skill to protect against the many forms of attack humanity had at their disposal. Not all harm came from the physical realm and Geiza learned about the extension of her spiritual self and how her physical reality had gained more wide in doing so. She had many teachers of students in the monastery that was Nanba Parbat, and many were simply humans others were mages, and others were creatures of inhuman origin, but they all seemed like family over the first 8 months she’d spent on the surface. Learning vaguely the languages of her new family. In this family she’d been the runt and had been beaten numerous times in many ways, ranging from combat, games, and meditative calm, etc. Yet Geiza learned to rely and confined in herself and her past selves. Once she’d calmed the rage of the very origin of her Mantle, Tera Markov she’d made the peace required to meet the Rama’s requisites to start her mission officially.
Geared up and leaving Geiza has set out to find herself to the greater cities of man and begin her push for bringing a greater balance to the power structures of humanity and then on to the greater concept of good and evil. Yet right now she’s an unknown figure simply traveling from place to place trying to help as much as she can around the world.
[Relationship information]
Friends: ○ Aurla | Neutral-Good | College/Friend/Mentor: A Stratan doctor and who was a guide to the previous “Terra” Atlee. She’s Geiza’s friend and college in the medical field and has known her since she joined the Stratan Authorities effort to interject their own Champion into the struggle to protect earth. She worked with Geiza in the development and splicing of Atlee’s genes with the previous Terra’s and her acclimation of her control over the sufficiently amplified results. Took lead on the process to splice and turn Geiza’s DNA to that of the current Terra’s frame making her currently the person who knows Geiza best inside and out.
○ Rama Kushna | Neutral-Good | Spiritual Guide: A immortal deity of sorts that presides over the wondering temple of Nanba Parbat in the Himalayan Mountain Range. Geiza was telepathically drawn towards Nanba Parbat by her to hold audience with her and be guided on the path as both guardian of Strata and the karmic balance of good and evil having sensed the nature of Geiza’s own affinity for balance in the forces of nature.
Enemies: ○ Character name as URL link | Alliance | Relationship type: Relationship explanation
○ Latika Rasaan | Good | Adoptive Mother: A kind woman who helped Geiza when she first made it o the surface as a guide to people who might know of the legendary temple Nanba Parbat. Over time she’d help acclimate Geiza to the society on the surface some and gift her the last name Rasaan as a parting gift and acknowledgment of the girls mission.
Romantic Relationships: ○ Character name as URL link | Alliance | Relationship type Relationship explanation
[Weapon information]
○ Her Body: Terra’s powers and body are her only weapons.
[Other item information]
○ ”Vestments of Terra”: The re-hash on the Terra costume isn’t particularly that special in anyway other than have a bit of functionality for hiding Geiza’ face wit the high collar of her cropped Jacket with an accompanying red bandana. It was a practical get up that worked in cloths shed received over her tri to Nanba Parbat, but her powers have a way of protecting them and her.
[Ability information]
○ Geokinesis: Terra has the ability of geokinesis, exhibiting psychokinetic control over the earth and minerals. While she can control massive amounts of earth and rock, shaping it to her will, Terra’s have also revealed an incredible amount of fine control; Making artistic shapes, or even transmuting raw materials into different crystalline forms. Her primary forms of mobility include flying on a rock platform or extremely quick tunneling.
Atlee (her third incarnation and direct predecessor) had been revealed to have a degree of superhuman toughness, surviving even after being battered by rocky shards and being immersed in lava. She has shown to have very rapid regenerative powers, with moderate to severe burns disappearing in a matter of hours, leaving no visible scars. She later revealed that earth in all its forms does little or no harm to her. She stated this after she allowed herself to be caught between the North American continental bedrock while she lowered the entire island of Manhattan on top of her. Her degree of geomorphic control is shown to be greater and more refined than what the original Terra has been shown capable of, moving volumes of many many square miles of earth at one time. Applications
• Flight/Tunneling: By levitating Earth underneath her Geiza can achieve flight and reach at least Mach 2 with a passenger, but flying along with the assistance of her Picnokinesis Geiza can double this speed and safely fly under the earths gravity. Reaching escape velocity [Mach 33] would require she suspend the gravity of the planet but said task is highly strenuous, or require a volcano. Her secondary mode of transportation is highly accelerated tunneling. With her power Geiza is capable of traveling through the ground by shifting the earth around her rather than simply pushing it out of the way if she’s moving on her own. Using the shifted earth to boost her movement she can tunnel through the ground just as fast if not faster than she flys.
• Geokinetic Martial Combat: Through using the earth around her Geiza can slightly shift it around her enemy and herself to compromise there fighting ability and posture in combat. By using varying hand sized rocks as bludgeons or extensions of her fists and legs to increase her reach and encumber her opponent’s ability to move. This style of combat was evolved out of her learning normal martial arts in Nanba Parbat and she borrows in form and style greatly from kickboxing. Combative enhancements can be formed from rocks or dust coating her body to increase the speed of her movements by pushing or pulling the over laying earth around her or throwing it as an extension of her strikes. Though her physical body does have limits on how fast it can move, while the earth she uses as an extension of her will exceed those limits several times over.
• Slight Geomagnetism Manipulation: Geiza has the ability to manipulate any mineral of earth and iron ore or other ferromagnetic element and given the expanse of her earth manipulation abilities she can shift these elements to create and shift magnetic fields. Yet this feat is lacking practice and skill compared to her refined ability to shape and craft earth. She’s subconsciously also aware of magnetic north do to this ability and uses it to direct her position when traveling underground or flying.
• Terra Sense: She can literary sense when terra (earth, soil rocks, etc.) is near her and urge it to move to her will. Though this does have it’s limits in range She can feel if she is close to any body of land mass from miles away.
* Terrakinetic Constructs: Terra can create constructs out of the earth that can be as complex as a work of art or national monument, or as simple as a simple earthen spike or sink hole. Though the limit on how much earth she can safely s**t without vastly shifting the environment does come to her as a limit.
• Geokinetic Regeneration: The Earth Literally allows Geiza to heal faster when she’s in contact with it. Her connection to the earth or any body of dirt, or rocks allow her body to heal from lethal wounds in a matter of hours, and debilitating wounds in minutes.
• Invulnerability to Earth: Cannot be harmed by any form of earth in any state be it lava or a giant boulder her body can weather the shock. Though the heat from lava will burn her yet the burns would be relatively slight in comparison to a normal persons likelihood of being incinerated.
○ Picnokinesis: Unique to Geiza apart from her predecessors to the mantle of Terra she has the ability to psychically increase her body's mass while preserving volume, which effectively increases her density and this power also extends to her geokinetic link to all minerals of earth. Allowing her to make rather small rocks exceedingly heavier, or large rocks lighter. This grants a skill to fluctuate her personal “gravity” and therefore making her resistant to gravity fluctuations. Though this power has easier reached limits in comparison to her Genokinetic abilities. Such as phasing through denser matter when reducing her own or becoming denser than the planet she’s on are impossible feats for her. Applications
• Enhanced Durability: She can harden her skin and the materials on her to density that mirrors that of quartz crystal making her capable of taking a rather heavy beating when it comes to pounds of pressure or force she can survive under. Her upper limits sitting around 10,000 tons of force.
• Enhanced Strength: Geiza can increase the density of her self and the earth she manipulates to grant them increased weight at pin-point shifts in her body to allow them to move relatively fast and hit exceedingly heavier. Making for a simulated super strength or strength enhancement in a pinch. The limits of her powers are comparable to the very planet it’s self as she cannot exceed the force of power it would take to move the planet for obvious reasons, but the space or power below that is an arena she has free reign to experiment with to meet her ends. Note: That her power is in a realm just below that of Kryptonia's and Daxamites regarding a comparison of power.
• Personal Gravity Manipulation: Geiza’s powers allow her to shift her bodies personal gravity by shifting the impact of her density versus the gravity imposed by the mass of the planet she’s on. She isn’t capable of completely shedding all effects of gravity but she is able to shift her body to a state of micro-gravity to float. Though flying with just this isn’t possible she can use this to assist in reaching greater speeds in her geokinetic flight. Working in the opposite direction her personal gravity can root her to any body of earth making it near improbable to knock her from her footing on the ground when she has the conscious will to do so.
• Weight Manipulation: All of her gravity and weight manipulations abilities can extend to any mineral that is unprocessed to a certain percentage if at least 20 percent is effectively “raw” mineral Terra can shift its weight. Yet alien metals and certain otherworldly materials have been known to be resistant to her powers.
• Enhanced Speed/Reflexes: By reducing her mass/weight she can make the slightest of her reactions move exceedingly faster than what’s humanly possible, but her cognitive reflexive ability is still the upper limit of how well she can use this enhancement based primarily on touch she can sense and move in an instance at 0.15 seconds if moving with out thought but simply reacting on instinct, complex motion or planning would take her at least a second to enact at full speed. Running speed she at best able of going 100 miles per hour.
○ Stratan (alien) Physiology: Stratans live several miles below the earths surface in the crust close to the mangle in the ancient alien god astronaut they call “Strata”. With in the body of this creature they’ve fostered light and life from the nourishment of it’s “blood” and it’s ability to sustain life with in it’s self. Stratans derive their nature from the body of Strata and hold a certain connection to the earth that Strata is fused to. Applications
• Superhuman Durability – as a Stratan Geiza has a naturally robust physical constitution and could take the impact of a low caliber bullet without serious harm.
• Advanced Healing– Stratans heal much faster than humans especially with the nature of their technology allowing them to manipulate their DNA to such a point that hereditary diseases are extinct amongst their people. Her current body having been groomed by strata’s technology has remained at a spliced state when she’s essentially a demi-human retaining traces of Stata’s blessing still in her system, but not any large enough to be noticed by current human technology. She’s susceptible to disease or poison but the strain must be several times more potent and vicious to effectively incapacitate Geiza compared to a normal humans constitution
• Sensitivity to Infrasonic Vibrations – Stratan’s do not have ears, but rather heat through the vibrations of sonics in the air and the ground. This allows the Stratans to hear and feel the shifts of the earth it’s self from the Infrasonic vibration (that can pass through large masses of solid mater) below the human hearing decibel point of hertz. So in a word a Stratans can literally hear the earth move, and never be surprised by an earthquake.
• Sixth Sense for Quixium – The “blood of Strata” is a revolutionary element that has the means to break the key into the DNA structure of any creature. This element may very well be the substance that allowed Stratans to come into existence and is the source of their technology and light in the hearth of Strata. From this deep connection to this element they are easily aware of when this element is close at hand and can feel it as warmth coming over them. There is no other physical response to it or anything distinct to narrow down where it is but they do sense when it’s with in at least a mile of their person.
○ Martial-Arts (Moderate): In Nanba Parbat Geiza practiced martial-arts as a means to center her body and further her mind and soul to develop her control over her powers. She mainly practiced in kickboxing and quick striking fighting with limited experience in grappling. She’s fair enough to equal a first don black belt, and could fight at least two people without too much issue, but she isn’t skilled enough to take on an army or anything like that. Much more skilled martial artist can easily throw her off her guard or out maneuver her if she’s caught by surprise.
○ Advanced Intellect: being from Strata Geiza’s intelligence matches that of her societies advancement ahead of the surface worlds. Making her quite well rounded in numerous points of knowledge excluding the miss information on surface world history and culture. Yet varied aspects of her can compensate for the misinformation of her society in that area. Applications
• Mechanical engineering knowledge: Being a former Stratan engineer Geiza has a mind for complex structures and theorizing the design and weaknesses of most machines and structures from simply first glance at the full structure. She has skill when it comes to mechanical devices and this ability comes in handy when securely saving someone from a collapsing building and needing to know how to support the weight of the building safely or remove rubble from cave ins or other structural compromise of her surroundings.
• Extensive Humanoid Medical Knowledge: Geiza has studied biology and practiced medicine in Strata, but on the surface even without the futuristic tools from Strata she is able to approximate the likely physiology of a humanoid simply from looking at their apparent evolutionary markers and appearance. Her bioengineering skills focused primarily on hominoids so she does have a gap in knowledge on animals, but other than that she's generally skilled in medicine as a doctor and can effectively treat wounds of near serious detriment on the field with sparse equipment.
• Delayed Intrinsic knowledge from her past lives: Something’s are learned retro-actively since Geiza's current body and mind have been spliced/overwritten with the DNA of her predecessors she sometimes acts or moves as if already knowing how certain things work without the thought to do or use whatever it might be. Memories and feelings of the past Terra’s also flow through her and instincts of their experience can both hinder ad aid her in her mission as the champion of Strata.
• Knowledge of Quixium: Quixium is the advanced element that allows Strata to function as a futuristic society compared to that of earths surface civilizations, and Due to it's focus in almost all parts of Stratan life she has a high knowledge of how the element works and how to use it to change the DNA or others.
[Weakness information]
○ Psychic Restraints: Powerful psychics with the ability to influence the subconscious are able to render her power inert since they do root from a psychic origin rather than simply biological. Yet performing this is no easy task as they must delve past not only Geiza’s mental defenses but the sub-consciousness of all the terra’s Past melded into her psyche. It would take constant restraint and focus to perform this let alone time. Yet the fact remains that it is possible and plans can be made to take advantage of this weakness r chance to drop her most powerful offenses and defenses. Devices that can achieve this as well are useful but she can over power something that doesn’t constantly scale to her own resistance so this would be at best a temporary
○ Demi-Human: Despite being Stratan Geiza had to take on a state of humanity to gain the powers of strata’s Champion, Terra. This means she does possess the same weaknesses of a human and though her body might have greater limits she does posses the same limits in the same ways as any human does. She needs to breath, and can become sick, her bodies homeostasis is something that’s in a tense balance that if she becomes too hot or cold it can be detrimental. Yet she can weather drastic changes for longer she will succumb if she does nothing to stop any number of normal human detriments from harming her.
○ Moral Naivety: Despite being a rather intelligent person and coming from a technologically more advanced society than normal humans her people haven’t developed as well in terms of social and politic realms of thought and the shades of gray when it comes to morality and perspective of what’s right and wrong can be blurred for her. Making her essentially a pawn to those who are smart enough to play this ignorance against her. Yet it’s a balancing act of knowing how to motivate her to your ends without violating her desire to achieve her dream and mission as Strata’s champion.
○ Stratan Mission : She’s beholden to Strata and her need to keep her home safe and hidden from the knowledge of the surface and the rest of the world can drive her into a corner in which her actions may become more sloppy and easier to overwhelm.
○ Limited Earth: Geiza cannot produce the element she is most powerful with, and though she maybe able to manipulate it from vast distances if removed from a terrestrial heavenly body to a remote enough (relatively the space between mars and earth, 249 million miles, would be the effective distance) point in space she’d be rendered significantly less of a threat.

Ready when you guys are.

My only real issue lies in the upper limits of her strength. For all intent purposes, Kryptonians and by relation, Daxamites, are the strongest beings in our universe. Terra's strength can be just below their strength levels though. Specify that and you should be good. Otherwise, I don't have much of a problem.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I added note/edit to her specified strength description as an underlined comparison of her being just below kryptonian.
