History
Christine Zimmerman is a Grue human/hybrid. Her father, a wealthy entrepreneur and inventor had recovered a damaged Lor Republic Resquencer. After his talents led to it’s reconstruction he discovered to his horror that the family obstetrician was in fact a Grue experimentalist and that his unborn daughter was a Grue/Human hybrid – something the Grue Unity had craved for centuries.

With the help of the Supreme 6, Dr Zimmerman was able to convince for the Grue that their experiments had failed. The Grue experimentalist returned to the Grue Unity, exposed and disgraced and was duly “unmade” by the Grue Intelligence.

A number of children born to various families who were also patients of the same obstetrician subsequently developed a range of powers. While some appeared human, many clearly were not. Fearing the attention of AEGIS, UNISON, Overthrow or worse, the wealthy Dr Zimmerman established a community for the families on a private island.

The affected families sought a way to describe their situation in a way that did not allude to their otherworldly connections ("Star Children" was quickly rejected). Instead they decided on calling themselves “the Moreau”.

During Christine’s time in Next Gen it was discovered that the island Moreau were not the only of their kind, nor were they the first. Small persecuted colonies were scattered across the world, mostly living in hiding in places such as one colony in the storm tunnels under Arcadia.

As her career with Next Gen drew to a close Christine dropped the code name “Simul-8” in favour of the codename “Change”. Along with her partner “Null” she began a mission to peacefully bring persecuted Moreau to the Island while trying to promote peaceful coexistance.

Power Set
Christine’s powers include shapeshifting to a genetic level of a “catalogued” target, power replication of the imitated target and more recently the ability to create copies of herself via celluar division and recombination (drawing upon the same extra dimensional source as her shapeshifting) to acquire mass and material for full size duplicates. Mostly these duplicates are temporary in nature but a select group of Christine’s friends know of self aware rogue Christine copies including the villainous “Body Shop”.

Associates
During Christine’s tenure in Next Gen, a number of Moreau fled the Arcadia storm tunnels and spent time at Claremont. One of these refugees was Arthur who remains Christine's current partner.

Christine retains friendly relations with her cohort of Next Gen members and the Claremont Alumni. Christine was a Next Gen member alongside Adrian Hooper (currently of AEGIS) who later spent 2 student placements on the Island of Moreau during his teaching degree.

The Ark of Worlds

We exist beyond time. Beyond space. Even beyond reality. Our founders came to the Terminus and found this place abandoned. We do not know who built it or for what purpose. Our founders made it what it is today: an archive of what was but now never was. The three founders. A genius in any and all realities. She is able to quantum compute her own brain; able to harness the processing power of her other selves. Her brother, one of the most powerful reality manipulators since the time of Unas. Constantly bombarded by possibilities only he can see, his mind struggled to focus upon any given reality. The final founder is an anomaly. Something that should not exist but does, replicating as an impossible fractal across worlds. Most her kind perished long ago; only two others remain and they have not witnessed a new of their type since time immemorial. Is she the last of these beings or the first of them reborn? All three of the Founders tap the very fabric of the Omniv...

Patience on Intake Day

Patience on Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on May 30, 2016 at 08:19 AM A card was turned and then placed. Another card was turned. And another. The second was placed. Archard Cole was methodical. Turn. Place. His delicate ebony hands worked with precision and speed, much like his mind. The cards were quickly placed in four piles. He scooped the cards together and deftly shuffled. Turn. Turn. “Special Agent Cole?” It was an inquisitive voice. Female. Polite. Archard did not turn towards the speaker. “Shouldn’t you be getting ready Sir?” Place. Turn. Place. “I am ready.” His melodic voice was calm and carried little emotion. “Are you okay Sir? You seem… withdrawn.” The unseen inquisitive woman continued. “I am very much okay. Some might say salubrious.” Archard continued to lay cards. The woman paused. “I’m sorry Sir. I don’t know what that word means.” She moved into view. The speaker was large, heavy set. She had a strong jaw and defined features. ...

Prologue to Sofa Surfing

Prologue to Sofa Surfing Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Nov 05, 2016 at 12:47 AM The morning was as brisk as the business at the Wicked Witch Cafe. Lycra mafia jostled for position with blue and white collar patrons in queue for their piping hot cup of morning libation. The magical elixir was being dispensed with ruthless efficiency under the steely yet tranquil gaze of Mat "Harvest" Black. The customers all respected Mat. He stood tall and imposing behind the machine. He said little. He didn't have to say very much as his presence was felt throughout the cafe. It was neither unpleasant nor menacing but it carried with it a heavy weight of authority and the unspoken warning of "do not upset my tranquillity or you will be very sorry". All locals knew that Mat doubled as the bouncer for nights when the Wicked Witch opened as a bar and speak easy. He was one of the most feared bouncers in Southside. This was not because of any action he had taken...
