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...

Location, Location, Location: The Ordway Observatory, Southside District Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Sep 23, 2016 at 01:41 AM The Ordway Observatory; Home of the Wicked Witch Café “Serving you the best brew since 02” The Ordway Observatory is something of a local icon being over 130 years old and with a colourful history. The Ordway Observatory (often simply the "Double O”) commenced construction in 1880 during Arcadia’s 250th anniversary. The Observatory was constructed through 1880 to 1883 in the District of Southside by John Ordway and was designed by famed architect Jerry Bolton (Ref: Comic Artists Jerry Ordway & John Bolton). Prior to construction local legend had the site as being in the immediate vicinity (if not the actual site) of a late seventeenth century battle between Inquisitor Grayve and the “Witch of the West Forest”. At the time, what is now Southside was simply wild woodland to the west of the Settlement of Bayside from which Minister...

Trouble in Paradise

"Ready love?" Adrian called deeper into the quarters. He juggled his squirming three year old daughter in one hand and his guitar case in the other. "Just the final check dear," Tara's voice approached.  She emerged from a side room with a rucksack over one shoulder. "I'm going to miss this place." "Yeah." He steered her towards the door. "This was fun but it's time to go home for a while." "You know we can commute you lunk. It's a single monkey-hop. No traffic at all." The spun to face him. Red hair twirled after in a wake. "It doesn't work that way." He sidestepped the small woman. The child in his arms reached for her wild hair. "They expect us to be on Campus." The child happily snagged her mother's hair and Adrian released Jennifer in smooth well practiced move. Tara again spun and hurried after Adrian. "I guess... it's just..." Adrian stopped to face T...
