Pretender Headquarters

The PHQ is a group of Pretender’s and individuals with Centre desired abilities dedicated to helping Jarod and other’s like him remain free of The Centre while trying to thwart The Centre’s sinister endeavors.

Our goal has always been to keep track of what The Centre is up to in hopes of helping Jarod and other Pretenders stay one step ahead of Centre Sweepers. To that end we’ve gathered much information here for the Pretenders of the world to help them stay out of The Centre’s reach.

Many years before Jarod’s escape our leader, Nemesis, worked for The Centre training the children The Centre chose for their various projects. Many of the children had special abilities which The Centre deemed useful. Nemesis had limited knowledge of exactly what The Centre’s plans for such children where and upon learning of their actions removed herself from The Centre’s training facilities. Unfortunately, many of the children Nemesis wished to save where removed from her training and later reported deceased.

Nemesis has since taken on the responsibility of saving individuals The Centre seeks to use and the children Catherine Parker once tried to help. In the process she’s created a network of “houses” dedicated to this effort and used as refuge when necessary.

About Mac

I have gone by Mknzy (Makenzie) in the Pretender fan world since the show started and fans could go onto the NBC site and chat at the Centre Exchange. I love web coding and find it is like a second language though at times I find dialects I must learn in order to proceed with my love of virtual redecoration. I often spend time at LiveJournal doing this to my journal and others, though under an assumed name.

If you would like to read more about Mac or her fellow PHQ Operatives (created for the Centre Exchange that then RP and FanFiction) you can check out a few crossover stories on Missing Pieces under the author SireesAnwar.

In reality, my love of The Pretender prompted me to create the first PHQ website when Geocities was a thing. After The Pretender ended and The Centre Exchange shutdown some of us took to Yahoo Groups where we continued our love of all things Pretender in online RP. The world of the PHQ was created with my friend “Tiger” who still loves Pretender but isn’t as obsessed focused on the story we were once telling on our PHQ RP Group. I, however, still find the time to tinker with the PHQ characters story though nothing has really come of it lately.
