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.

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...

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. ...

Prologue to Sofa Surfing

Prologue to Sofa Surfing Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Nov 05, 2016 at 12:47 AM The morning was as brisk as the business at the Wicked Witch Cafe. Lycra mafia jostled for position with blue and white collar patrons in queue for their piping hot cup of morning libation. The magical elixir was being dispensed with ruthless efficiency under the steely yet tranquil gaze of Mat "Harvest" Black. The customers all respected Mat. He stood tall and imposing behind the machine. He said little. He didn't have to say very much as his presence was felt throughout the cafe. It was neither unpleasant nor menacing but it carried with it a heavy weight of authority and the unspoken warning of "do not upset my tranquillity or you will be very sorry". All locals knew that Mat doubled as the bouncer for nights when the Wicked Witch opened as a bar and speak easy. He was one of the most feared bouncers in Southside. This was not because of any action he had taken...
