Tau 9 is one of the handful of survivors from a far future Earth. Once possessing galactic scale powers and having sacrificed them, she is suprised but happy to have found that there is still a small spark left in her. Life on Earth in the distant past is much, much different and she is enjoying learning about everything while nurturing her faint power. The FBSA gave her the name Nina Starr in an effort to help her adjust, and she has been trying it out but still answers better to Tau 9. Above all, she is still a weapon and a soldier however and will defend this earth with everything she has.
Powers
Tau 9 is a Gravastar class bioweapon, engineered from genetic databanks of gravity controlling humans encasing a gravastar. Currently the remnants of her power allow for localized gravity distortion and energy discharge.
History
The future Tau 9 comes from was consumed by galactic war which ultimately tore the fabric of reality apart. The War had gone on for a hundred generations,the Galactic Defense Force(which included Earth) against a entity called The Multitude bent on subjugating all life to its will. The Tau series was part of a larger desperate initiative, the Star of Babylon project that was charged with creating harnessing stellar energy in all its forms to create soldiers. The project did result in the GDF being able to start to push back The Multitude, but the cost was enormous, as The Multitude's next counter was the discovery of time travel. It's first attempt to use it destabilized reality itself, however. As the timeline collapsed, a mysterious stranger appeared to a single GDF squad, offering a chance for a new home in the past at the cost of sacrificing all their significant powers and a pledge to prevent their future. The squad agreed, and the mysterious stranger consumed all of their collective power to tear open a portal in spacetime, depositing the squad in Atlas Park. They did not see the stranger as their reality disappeared, and cannot recall what they looked like now.
