Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Progeny, she pushed every limit she had, but in the
end she was almost killed by it. Healing forced her
to slow down, and learning how to pace herself
was the key to surviving OblivAeon. The fight was
a long and exhausting one, and the hard lessons
she had learned about conserving energy and
delegating instead of trying to do it all herself were
the only things that let her survive.
Capabilities and Motivations
There is no theoretical upper limit on Tachyon’s
powers, but years of fighting have taken a toll on
her ability to sustain high speeds, especially the
staggering loss she experienced at the hands of
the mindless Scion known as Progeny during the
OblivAeon event. She now needs much more
focus in order to prevent her powers from tearing
her body apart at high speeds. Her stabilization
device does grant her some leeway, but pushing
the upper limits of her potential velocities would
unquestionably result in permanent serious injury.
Tachyon’s unmatched speed is only one facet of her
abilities, however. Perhaps even more impressive
is her mental ability to quickly assess a problem,
break it down, and devise a solution. Tachyon has
had years of experience in figuring out exactly how
to use her powers and her scientific know-how
together to make the best of both.
Personal Life
Tachyon’s life has always been characterized by
doing six things at once, but becoming a teacher
is making her focus on single tasks more. Or, at
least, only a couple at a time. OK, maybe three,
sometimes. While she does have a lot of concurrent
experiments going on, she has continued to learn
how to delegate to lab assistants, so that she isn’t
constantly zipping between them and can instead
focus on doing the things that only she can do,
the most crucial part of the experiments, or the
making sure that her students don’t mix up their
chemicals and cause explosions. It’s very much
a work in progress for her, since her natural
impulse is still to do everything at once.
Tachyon’s home life is as busy as ever. Neither
she nor Dana have ever been the type to sit
back and do nothing, but they are taking more
time for each other. Tachyon’s brush with death
against Progeny has made her more appreciative
of the people in her life, and so she is actively
trying to spend more time with them. Dana still
models, but her chief concern is as an activist.
Beauty comes in many forms, and Dana wants to
ensure that future generations can see the majesty
of nature, making her an outspoken advocate of
research into climate change. She is also working to
improve people’s inner beauty by raising awareness
of mental illness, sponsoring anumber of mental
health programs, and normalizing talking about
mental health. Beauty may be skin deep, but it’s
what is inside a person that makes them radiant!
All in all, Dr. Stinson has her hands full. While she
primarily deals with the students who are studying
advanced types of science, they still demand a
great deal of supervision, especially since they are
in a laboratory with some of the most advanced
tech on earth. It’s not that she doesn’t trust their
intentions, but an accident with a warp gate or
dark matter condenser could still have apocalyptic
repercussions! And she’s still very much enjoying
her continued research. Between delving into
Maerynian, Thorathian, Endling, and OblivAeon
tech, as well as her own inventions, she is making
new discoveries all the time!
