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.

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. ...

Shadow of Intake Day

Shadow of Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on May 25, 2016 at 08:13 AM Shadow breathed deeply. She sat calmly in lotus. The Zen garden surrounded her. It’s delicately raked sand was dotted with manicured miniature trees. Clear the mind. Release your grip. Become nothing. Be nothing. Hold nothing. Become an empty vessel. Be no one. Shadow continued to breathe deeply. In her mind’s eye Shadow could see a cloud of swirling lights biting at her. Their constant nibbling away at her sense of self, her very soul. Breathe. Release. As Shadow become nothing the spectral gnats slowly dissipated. The echoes of others, traces of personality if you will, calmed and shed. Breathe. What was once Shadow sat in meditative peace with the universe. The sound of a gong reverberated. Awareness returned to the vessel that was once Shadow. Shadow was gone. Simone was once more simply herself. A paper door was gracefully opened. A delicate woman in a jade green kimono g...

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...
