- "I won't tell anyone your boyfriend's Cheerleadra"
—George to Justin
George works at the comic book shop with Justin. He is named after George Lucas.[4] He likes hanging out at the shop, but dislikes manning the counter.[4] George knows that Elliot is Cheerleadra and that Justin is somehow involved. He was angry at Justin for not telling him Cheerleadra's secrets until he found out Elliot was not Justin's boyfriend.
History[]
Hammerchlorians[]
George first appeared complaining about the Star Wars prequels introducing midichlorians as an answer to a question that no one was asking about the Force, lampshading the perceived needlessness of explaining the mechanic behind The Hammers.[5]
New And Old Flames[]
When Elliot visited the comic shop George frowned at him.[6] When the fire summon appeared outside the shop Justin ordered George to evacuate the shop[7] but the customers refused to leave.[8] George's car was damaged during the fight against the fire monster.[9][10]
The next day George mentioned to Justin that Elliot, whom he believed to be Justin's boyfriend, is Cheerleadra.[11] Justin tried to deny it but George was unconvinced and demanded that Justin tell him the entire story.[12] Justin refused to tell him and George declared that he would persist in asking him.[13] The next day George asked Justin again and Justin said that he wouldn't break Cheerleadra's trust. George conceded that Cheerleadra's personal information was not his business but insisted that Justin tell him the rest.[14] When Justin said that Elliot is not his boyfriend George was so surprised that he fled from the conversation.[15] After the dragon attack Justin asked if George was uncomfortable because he thought that Justin had a boyfriend and George said that he had learned a lesson about acceptance.[16]
Squirrel Prophet[]
When Tedd arrived at the comic shop for a Magickal Gatherings tournament during the following winter with short pink hair[17] George told Grace and Justin that they shouldn't worry about the pink hair as he could tell them when he was ready and that George had been in a similar situation before.[18] In the first round of the tournament George played against Sarah.[19][20] He gave her valuable advice between the games.[21][22][23] When he turned in his results for the second round he squinted at Luke,[24] which caused Luke to suspect that he had magic and use his spell to look at George.[25] Later he overheard Tedd, Sarah and Grace discuss whether Tedd is a wizard[26][27] and commented on Tedd's hair, wich had changed back to its natural purple color.[28] After the end of the tournament Tedd and Sarah were startled by George, who asked if he should worry because they were jumpy.[29] He frowned when he talked to Sarah about Justin's relationship with Luke[30] and Sarah concluded that George is attracted to Justin.[31]
Who Is Ellen[]
George thought that Ellen is Elliot[32] because he knew that Elliot can transform into Cheerleadra,[33] because he had never seen Elliot and Ellen together, and because Ellen is dating Elliot's ex-girlfriend Nanase and is friends with all of Elliot's friends.[34] He still wanted Justin, Elliot and their friends to tell him their secrets about magic, but didn't confront them about it because he didn't want to confront Ellen/Elliot about being trans.[33][34]
When Ellen decided to run a roleplaying game campaign with Rich as a challenge sometime the following spring,[35] George offered to help her with the rules of the game;[36] he was familiar with the game from podcasts of people playing it.[37]
George decided to play as a lazy half-demon sorceress. Rich objected to him playing as a woman but stared him down.[38] That inspired Larry to play as a woman too; Rich again objected and George again stared him down.[39]
When Ellen roleplayed as NPCs, she initially did it with closed eyes. George though this fit with Ellen being Elliot, as he has a review show but has less experience performing in front of an audience that he can see.[40]
When the other players thought a cleric that Ellen had introduced was the villain, George went along with it even though he realized that Ellen had made the cleric up to heal the player characters after an accident.[41]
When Nanase had trouble roleplaying in the game, George gave her advice from podcasts: she should identify with her character by considering what she had in common with her character and what her character had that she would like to have.[42]
After the player characters had defeated the villains in the game, George decided to destroy a wall with a mysterious inscription, presumably because his character hoped there was a treasure behind the wall.[43] Thus the group ended the session with a sequel hook.[44]
After the game Ellen compared her roleplaying as NPCs to Elliot acting in his review show. George noticed that she sounded sincere about thinking about Elliot as a different person and speculated that she had a transformation spell that caused a personality shift.[45] Then Ellen invited all the players to go to a restaurant together; George was surprised that he was invited.[46][47] On the way to the restaurant George saw Cheerleadra flying.[48] This convinced him that Ellen and Elliot are different persons but he still thought there was something weird about Ellen.[49] He fantasized about being a superheroine similar to Cheerleadra.[50]
Hope[]
George played in a Magickal Gatherings tournament at the comic shop on a Friday later in the spring. He played a powerful dragon deck.[51][52] In the first round he played against Sarah[53] and won.[52] In the second round he played against AJ[54][55] and won.[56]
Relationships[]
Justin[]
George is secretly attracted to Justin,[57] as shown by his jealousy towards Elliot[6][58] and Luke.[30] He seems to find Justin to be virile, likening him to a mack daddy pimp because Nanase, Ellen, Susan and on one occasion Catalina hang out with him, and calls them Justin's "harem".[4]
Trivia[]
- Before he had a name, he was called "Smartass with annoying tendency to be right".[59]
- Dan says he resembles him, describing him as "sort of like a larger, rounder and hairier version of [himself] (who ironically has less facial hair than [him])".[5]
