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).

AEGIS: Ramifications

By
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 ...

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...

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...
