History
Ian is an affable blond haired man who now works primarily in construction. He specialises in alloys and “super materials” and is regarded as one of the world’s experts on Impervium. He was directly involved in the construction of the AEGIS Spire in Arcardia’s bay.

Hailing from Portsmouth, Maine, USA Ian came from a non-descript middle class background where his mother also had a love for construction. His father was an artist. Ian has single sibling: a younger sister, Ginny, who also has superhuman powers but of a psychic nature. He is fond of living the life of a surfer as depicted in old movies: complete with long board and old VW Kombi. As a teen he practically lived out of the Kombi at the nearby Long Sands Beach.

Ian spent five years at Claremont and most of those as part of Next Gen. Ian had an early eagerness to become a hero but this dissipated over the years as the reality of hard choices and tragic consequences became clear to him. He has not employed the "Spook" code name for a number of years.

Power Set
Ian is a superhuman whose powers emerged in his early teens. He is able to disperse density while preserving cohesion resulting in an intangible state. He is not able to increase density but is able to merge diffused contract but can merge two or more objects before restoring their density. This creates incredibly resilient materials or can inflict horrific trauma. Ian’s abilities are limited to touch but prodigious. One of his most recent talents is to disperse density and not preserve cohesion – effectively disintegrating an item. Fortunately for all this is a difficult feat with limited size and something that Ian is not predisposed to using his powers this way.

Associates
Ian has maintained contact with his Next Gen contemporaries. The enigmatic Emi Matsuoka, thought lost to most of the world has reached out to Ian on occasion although, like almost everyone else he has no way to contact her.

Ian is in a long term relationship with Ms Sage Kahale. They reside in California with their twin children: Summer and Brody.

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 ...

The Opposing Force: Frankie is a Tad' Annoyed

The Opposing Force: Frankie is a Tad' Annoyed Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Oct 26, 2016 at 04:07 AM “Frankie!” Dr Einstein visibly cringed. He was being addressed by what might as well be Dougie Houser MD… except of Asian complexion and wearing mirrored wraparound sunglasses and unlikely to ever graduate to being a respected individual. Dr Einstein ran his head through his slicked back dark widow’s peak. “Tadashi," he clipped briskly, "please don’t do that. What are you doing here?” Dr Einstein hissed. His irritation clearly shined through and the younger man seemed a little taken aback. “Good,” thought Einstein. “Anyhoo baby, remember that loser the Freebooter?” “He’s semi-regular annoyance. The man just won’t take no for an answer. Get to the point.” Every moment Tadashi was here was another moment of risk. Tadashi continued conversationally. Deliberately so. "Yeah. A no talent hack. Thinks he’s our equal. Tell me about it Frankie. You ai...
