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.

AEGIS: The Observation Deck

AEGIS: The Observation Deck Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Aug 18, 2016 at 07:45 AM The Observation Deck was unnecessarily located in an armoured bunker above what was now known as the Embarkation Chamber. Like all areas of the Spire, both rooms were constructed to gleam and shine as a constant reminder of the hope that the Spire and Outreach, which resided there, were intended to inspire. In years past the area below the Observation Deck had evolved. It commenced operation as an Action Room where superhumans engaged in controlled practice. This was upgraded a number of times to become more immersive and provide for specific scenarios. The most recent, and most dramatic change occured three years ago when Outreach procured a Description Engine – a device capable of generating temporary pseudo pocket realities on demand. And so the area below the Observation Deck had been renamed to the Embarkation Chamber. Within the Observation Deck two figures stood to the side of t...

AEGIS: Ramifications

AEGIS: Ramifications Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Sep 11, 2016 at 04:24 AM "And you just let her take it?" Tara let her surprise surface. Adrian shrugged. "What was I going to do? She knew I had it and apparently she needed it." "But why? She can dimension shift. She didn't need the hypercube." It wasn't that Tara cared very much for the now absent device. If anything it was more of a monkey paw than a useful device. The trouble to her thinking is that in the wrong hands it could be dangerous. Very dangerous. Adrian seemed resigned to it's loss and that infuritated Tara even more. The large man turned to Tara and continued in his reasoning. "Jean... sorry, the Sovereign Citizen One iteration of Jean, said she needed it to help bounce her dimension's trajectory away from the Warpwold. It was to save that reality. Besides dear, how was I supposed to stop her?" Tara calmed. Adrian had points. It ...

Trevor Danvers (File Notes): A Whole New World

Trevor Danvers (File Notes): A Whole New World Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Mar 24, 2016 at 10:24 PM Captain Trevor Danvers departed the office of his superior Director Thorne. He moved briskly to his own office, examining the changes to her diary as he went. It would be easy to adjust the appointments but he was frustrated that he had missed her interest in Intake Day. "Stupid. Stupid" he cursed his oversight. He paused mid stride, turned to attention and saluted. "Sir!" barked the Captain. The passing Senior Operative glanced briefly at him. "Hey" was all the Senior Operative stated as he moved on without pause. AEGIS Outreach continued to demonstrate to Trevor that it's similarity to the armed forces was superficial at best. Outreach certainly had protocol, regulation and discipline but it was sometimes overlooked and sometimes not. Trevor was having trouble navigating these differences. He had been assigned to AEGIS Outreach fo...
