History
Adrian is from the Hooper Family (capital F) which is part of the Pantheon Bloodlines -  a secret cabal of superhuman families with history back to at least the eighth century BC. The exact number of families and their last names has varied over the centuries. The Hoopers rose to prominence during the Witchhunts of the 16th century and were the first to spread to the Americas. The Hooper influence ebbed during WW1 and WW2 and the Family risked dropping back to being a minor bloodline until Adrian revealed the full depth of his powers. Unfortunately Adrian proved too rebellious to obey the rigid Family hierarchy and fled to other agencies such as Claremont, the Ark of Worlds and later AEGIS.

Adrian was born in Emerald City on the north western coast of the USA. He studied at Claremont for 5 years and was part of Next Gen for 4 years. During his time with Next Gen he formed a strong romantic relationship with Cara Avonmora. This lasted through to graduation and fell apart during their "gap year" in Hawaii when Cara became the villian "Crimson Tide".  While at Claremont Adrian happened upon a "dimensional cube" lost by the Ark of Worlds.

Adrian finished his teaching degree and was recruited by the Ark of Worlds (due to his exposure with the dimensional cube). While at the Ark he encountered many iterations and dopplegangers of himself and Cara. While working with the Ark he regularly used his middle name to differentiate himself from the various dopplegangers of himself he met. He utlimately became involved with a Tara Breen (the Cara Avonmora doppleganger from Earth 308).

Adrian and Tara quit the Ark to live on Earth Prime. They taught at Claremont before joining AEGIS. The couple have one daughter: Jennifer.

Associates
Adrian is a member of the Pantheon. As a former student, member and then teacher, he remains closely associated with the Claremont Academy and Next Gen. Adrian was recruited to the Ark of Worlds and when introduced to his partner by Vicki of the Ark. He now maintains a wary distance from Vicki and her manipulative ways. Adrian remains extremely close to Jane Doe of the Ark of Worlds and treats her as family, especially now that Jane has settled into Earth Prime (at least for now).

Shadow of Intake Day

Shadow of Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on May 25, 2016 at 08:13 AM Shadow breathed deeply. She sat calmly in lotus. The Zen garden surrounded her. It’s delicately raked sand was dotted with manicured miniature trees. Clear the mind. Release your grip. Become nothing. Be nothing. Hold nothing. Become an empty vessel. Be no one. Shadow continued to breathe deeply. In her mind’s eye Shadow could see a cloud of swirling lights biting at her. Their constant nibbling away at her sense of self, her very soul. Breathe. Release. As Shadow become nothing the spectral gnats slowly dissipated. The echoes of others, traces of personality if you will, calmed and shed. Breathe. What was once Shadow sat in meditative peace with the universe. The sound of a gong reverberated. Awareness returned to the vessel that was once Shadow. Shadow was gone. Simone was once more simply herself. A paper door was gracefully opened. A delicate woman in a jade green kimono g...

Freedom League Logs: Intake Day

Freedom League Logs: Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Mar 25, 2016 at 05:31 AM The gleaming space station turned lazily on it's axis. Below it the Earth slowly passed. The space station was known as "the Lighthouse", the beacon in the night, the shining light and, of course, base of operations for the Freedom League. By one of the viewing platforms stood a figure. It's skin was orange brick. It's kilt and cowl were the colour of green glass. It's face was impassive. Within the face two eyes glowed the dull orange of streetlights. "Johnny Rocket," the figure intoned solemnly, "we must depart shortly. As the fastest of men I would have expected that you not make us tardy." A gust of air preceded the arrival of a man by less than a heartbeat. "Chil, Doc. We got time." "Captain Thunder and Lady Liberty left some time ago," Doctor Metropolis continued with little hint of emotion. "One migh...

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. ...
