Ark of Worlds Continuity Update

Reality: Earth Prime
 
 

Tara Breen
Code name: Maelstrom
Affiliation:  The Mentors  (formerly "Ark of Worlds" circa 2008-2010)

Known associates
  • Adrian David Hooper (code name "Extent")
  • Jane Doe (code name "Genesis")

History
Tara is the last known survivor of Earth-308 which was destroyed by the Doom Coil in 2007.

Tara Cassidy Breen is a physical doppleganger of "Cara Avonmora" of Earth Prime. On Earth-308 Tara had a life closely mirroring that of Cara.

Tara attended the Claremont Academy and was a member of that realities Next Gen. During that time Tara dated Aiden Wainwright until his death in her Junior year (Year 11). After graduating Tara was recruited by the Ark of Worlds which spared her from the destruction of her reality.

Vicki of the Ark of Worlds made Tara Cassidy Breen (Earth-308) and Adrian David Hooper (Earth Prime) partners in 2008, After an awkward start to their partnership the two quickly became friends and then lovers. The pair now have a daughter together: Jennifer  Breen-Hooper.

Tara still finds little idiosyncrasies that remind her that Earth Prime is not her native home. A long standing joke between Tara and Adrian is that on Earth-308 the "Princess Bride" is the "Prince's Bride" - a story they both love and quote.

Notably Tara shows little evidence of a psychological "dark side" such as the one that plagued Cara Avonmora.

Power Set
While they are phyiscally twins Tara and Cara's water manipulation powers are notably different. While Cara was a superhuman, Tara's mother Marion was a faerie water spirit: an Undine.


PtPower
3Long Distance Mighty Telekinesis: Use Will to lift large objects up to 3 zones away. Attack with Will by hurling objects. Lifting something human-sized is a Fair (+2) obstacle, while a car is a Great (+4) obstacle.
1Shield: With a moment’s concentration, you can erect a barrier between your zone and an adjacent zone, which lasts until the end of the scene or you will it away. This barrier is transparent, but no matter can pass through it. When someone attempts to attack through the barrier, or attacks the barrier itself, you intercept the attack, using Will to defend. If the attack succeeds, you may either take the shifts as mental stress or allow the barrier to shatter and take mental stress equal to half of the shifts, rounded down. You may erect multiple barriers, but each active barrier after the first reduces your Will roll to defend by one.
1Energy Blast: Shoot up to 3 zones away
1Phasing: Can use Burglary to walk through walls and other physical barriers. A standard interior wooden door is a Fair (+2) obstacle, while thicker barriers of sturdier materials provide more opposition.
0Water Projection Power Theme: Your powers are aqueous in nature, and you’re infused with liquid. Whenever you use your power, you create liquids and pools.
1Water Control: in addition to generating water you can manipulate it, causing water to flow and pool where you want. Getting water to spread in a specific direction requires you to overcome a Fair (+2) obstacle with Provoke; more complex maneuvers increase that opposition.
1Immortal: can be taken out in combat, but nothing can make Tara actually die.

Associates
Tara is known mostly from Ark of Worlds where she worked closely with Vicki, Chase and Jane. After moving permanently to Earth Prime she has been working alongside Adrian at AEGIS. While Tara was never a member of the "Next Gen" of Earth Prime she has strong feelings for the team and Claremont Academy in general. Navigatrix and Professor Summers are both aware of her extra-dimensional origin and given their experiences with the "Alterni-Teens" they have welcomed her into the dysfunctional extended Claremont family.

Notebook of Duncan Summers: Intake Day

By
Notebook of Duncan Summers: Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Mar 25, 2016 at 05:03 AM There was a timid knock at the door. Duncan Summers, Headmaster of the Claremont Academy spun from his perch by the window and fixed the intruder with a steely glare. The source of the knock, a young man dressed in the Academy Uniform of blue and gold fled in terror. "Mmmmmm...." growled the Headmaster who returned to his position of gazing out the window into the distance. "Headmaster," a vaguely feminine, vaguely robotic voice intoned, "must you terrorise the students?" There was a faint staccato as metal heels walked across the floor towards the Headmaster. The presence was acknowledged with another growl. "Navimatrix. What do you want?" "My," intoned the humanoid robot. "Aren't you in a foul mood today. I came to check on you." "No need. I'm fine." Duncan had not even turned away from th...

A New Light

By
The house was a small two brick affair on a faux Tudor Style. While many of its kind bore white plaster and dark support beams, this house was brick topped with slate. The walls were tall and moss covered. The windows bore braces dividing each into a collection of smaller squares. Around the house was the lush and rambling grounds of the Claremont Academy. Ancient native trees stood alongside aged specimens from England. The grounds rolled and twisted. Each curve and divot revealed a different feature of the grounds. The Japanese Zen Garden. The sports fields. The tennis yards. The Workshop. And among these was the Carriage House in faux Tudor style. The house had many names over the years: the Carriage House, the Gate House, the Servant's Quarters, the Groundskeeper's Lodge and many others. In recent years it had been given over various members of the academic staff of the Academy. The current occupants of the house had been in residence for little over a year. Their tenur...

Ordway Observatory: The Facility Layout and Surrounds

By
Ordway Observatory: The Facility Layout and Surrounds Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Oct 12, 2016 at 07:12 AM The Ordway Observatory (OO) once stood as a lonely five story landmark but suburbia has grown around it. The OO finds itself on a crossroads with shops and local commerce on all bar the western side of the property. The OO is bordered by a small car park to the east and south and a set of shops to the north. Primary vehicle entry to the OO is by the eastern car park entrance (with easy access to the workshop). As the only local five story structure it is the tallest building in the neighbourhood. All the remains of the OO’s once generous grounds is a tree dappled park backing onto the west side of the Observatory. Wildey Park is popular with locals and visitors alike and provides a steady source of patronage for the Wicked Witch Café. Wildey Park features a basketball court which, by happy coincidence, can just accommodate an AEGIS VTOL Interceptor. While this ...
