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).

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...
