Time for a time travel based RP. I'll be keeping it brief and building it up further as it goes along. Of course I'll be playing along as well. Though I have thought of things such as how paradoxes will be handled. BackgroundBrilliant inventor Ayaka Akemi recently made major breakthroughs in her research of time travel. Until recently she had only been successful in smaller jumps with a portable device but by upsizing the device and dramatically improving its power source she had managed to make a functioning time machine which has made several successful jumps; leading to the creation of the Chronos. Moving onto the next phase of testing she looks for participants to travel with her to stress test the new machine. Edit: (Been asked about it, better to just put it here for consistancy ) This is set in a lab in an undisclosed location within the US in present day Earth. ------------- Character sheetPlayer: Name: Age: Gender: Description/picture: Bio: ------------- Player: iuiu-chan Name: Ayaka Akemi Age: 24 Gender: Female Description/picture: Bio: Ayaka had always been fascinated by time as a child watching her grandfather repair watches and clocks at his store. Always stopping to look at the biggest oldest clock there, waiting close to the hour to watch it tick over and chime out the start of another hour. While other children would run around and play, she would sit under a tree and think; wondering about how it flowed, where it went, where it came from, if it flowed at all. She began to read research papers about time and eventually started her own studies. Being called a bright an intelligent student by all her teachers through out her school life they were not surprised when that combined with her obsession drove her steadily up through her field. Her major discoveries with travel however she kept to herself until it was time to reveal them with the completion of the Chronos; a full sized time machine capable of flight.

Player: The Glass Ninja Name: Doctor. Seb Murkoff Age: 33 Gender: Male Description/picture: A tall, broad man with dark green eyes and a face smothering beard. He's usually seen dressed in shirt, tie, dress trousers and lab coat - a multitude of pens and pencils in every pocket, a notepad clipped to his belt...as well as his badge and personal firearm. Bio: Born in a small town in Texas, his early life nothing but near indoctrination into the christian faith - his father a doctor, his mother a fervent catholic. He grew out of his faith when he was sixteen - both his parents struck down while on holiday in Africa, a pocket of Anthrax taking them both. No one could explain where it came from, or why.
He was moved further north, dejected and bitter. The aunt who took him in supported him as best she could, but the volatile young man felt nothing but anger - towards disease or God, he didn't know. He threw himself into his studies, a direct line through medical school saw him join the CDC at the age of 25, and by 30 he'd been to several outbreak sites across the globe, working internationally with the WHO to fight off the spectre of disease. In this time, he'd had to do things he wasn't proud of. Enforce quarantines violently by the side of military personnel, take part in classified operations at the behest of the government, even illegal work outwith the agency for information on possible biological attacks.
Now, he's been seconded to a team of government individuals who are monitoring the work of Ayaka Akemi. Her time travel experiments have the capacity to bring catastrophic diseases back from the dead, cold past. Seb is there to make sure that it doesn't come to that...by any means necessary.
Other: "If it comes to it, my job is to stop death's seedy little minion; disease. Science is the best defense, but if I need a last resort, Mr 1911 is it"

She grew up in a mansion on the scottish highlands, she had a tutor and a babysitter who cared for her until she was 16, her dad decided she learned enough about practical things by then and should begin with her education to take over the company. She was in shooting, close combat and economics training for a year while travelling with her father to the warzones where she got hands on experience, the year after she got herself her very first assignment. She was to lead a squad of 4 contractors to escort a doctor from the WHO called mister murkoff, she already had been trained for a year and so this was all a piece of cake for her, insurgents were not capable of fighting coordinated and so they never posed a problem. in the following years she worked as a contractor under her father being sent on escort jobs sometimes they were doctor murkoff again sometimes some other doctor, she had saved the doctors life many times and so when she was 21 he accepted to let her go into hiding in his house. all she kept were her personal weapons, an M4A1 with an underslung shotgun, laser pointer and a holo sight, with sufficient ammo for both and her trustworthy G17, she didn't need to use either under murkoffs care and she learned about the world which wasn't filled with violence, it was an experience for her she couldn't ever forget, when murkoff decided to go with ayaka to observe her julie went with him and pledged she would protect him and by extension the rest of the crew as a repayment for his kindness.

Character sheetPlayer: Lord Harrab Name: Sera Hawke Age: 24 Gender: Female Description/picture: Bio: Sera Hawke was born in Oxford, United Kingdom, with a love of mechanisms, science fiction and a curiosity that would last her entire life. From the time when, at age 8, she found a discarded screwdriver and took apart the VCR and resembled it, and the College prank where she and her classmates disassembled the Lecturer's car, transported the parts inside the classroom and reassembled it, even taking the time to wax and polish the exterior and tune up the little faults in the engine, Sera Hawk has found a simple joy in maintaining machines. After she graduated, she moved to the USA and found work where she could, until she landed a fairly lucrative job in a minor our of the way laboratory owned by Ayaka Akemi. At first her job was simply keeping the Doctor's Lab equipment in working order, but when Ayaka's experiments began to get more and more advanced, moving from the drawing board to prototypes and eventual working models, Sera's work became more akin to an automobile mechanic, then a fighter jet ground crew, then a nuclear submarine reactor technician. Of course, she was never involved in its development, simply its maintenance, so Sera doesn't pretend to know how or why the machine can travel through time, that's the domain of her Boss, but she knows the guts of the machine well enough and is confident that should problems arise with the Time Machine, she can fix it.

Player: Wark Name: Arthur Evans Age: 36 Gender: Male Picture: Description: Arthur is tall but not especially broad. His features have been described as "somewhat haggard" but at the same time soft and genuine. His eyes are a deep blue and possess a childlike quality, his hair is thick and brown. He is always clean shaven and his skin is fair, with no visible scars, tattoos or other marks. Bio: Arthur was born to a young single mother by the name of Elizabeth Evans when she was just 21. She was frightened enough at the time to consider having him aborted but then suddenly changed her mind. While Arthur was young, his mother noticed a few peculiar things about him; he hardly spoke and in school he had no real friends. Kids made fun of him for shying away from play and opting to stay inside to read. His teachers noted his voracious appetite for literature, a student reading years ahead of his grade. They advised that he be tested and when he was the doctors told his mother that he showed signs of Autism but a diagnosis could not be readily given from a result of the tests. One thing they found though, was that he had an extremely high IQ, able to understand at the age of eight that most high school students would have difficulty with. With the advice of his doctors, his mother enrolled him in therapy to help his social skills all the while knowing that there was something very special about her child. His path took new turns when, at ten and attending a therapy session at the therapist's home, he returned to his parlor to find that Arthur was busy playing sections of music from the works of Beethoven on the man's piano with his eyes closed. When asked how he did it, Arthur responded that he'd heard it played "in a dream" and that he simply mimicked the playing by seeing it again in his mind. His doctors continued to study him in a special program for "gifted" young individuals and it was determined after a year or more that Arthur showed savant like tendencies. He was able to belt out encyclopedias worth of information at command but he couldn't remember to call his mother on her birthday. He could speak almost any language you could name but had no interest in getting into any sort of romantic relationship. He had years worth of lectures on the cultures and ethnicities of long forgotten peoples memorized but he was always too frightened to speak publicly to any sort of audience, he could ride a horse or care for an animal with east but he found learning to drive a car to be very difficult. He distrusted technology and surrounded himself with books, spending a great deal of his life in different libraries reading, learning, and growing. He was not normal in any sense of the word. While in high school, a drama teacher found him behind a building, entertaining himself by playing the part of King Henry V from one of William Shakespeare's plays. The teacher saw great talent in the boy though when asked to repeat the performance in front of people, Arthur was stricken with anxiety and was not able to perform. Through coaching, he was able to overcome this weakness by "going back in time" in his mind and thus erasing the audience and making his performances much more believable though he still struggled in social settings. He went on to act at Renaissance fairs and such other festivals that celebrated the past. His favorite role was that of a jousting knight. While on the field he would put on the face of a chivalrous and bombastic noble and people became confused when they asked for his autograph and his hands shook as he wrote. He continued this way of living for years. His mother eventually died of complications from an illness and Arthur never made enough money to go to college. He began hanging around a particular college library one year and when his prodigious abilities were unearthed, he was offered the position of librarian which he readily accepted. There he taught anyone that would listen with his knowledge and powers of memory; students and professors alike sat to hear him speak. It was in this manner that word of him came to omne of the school's Alumni; Ms. Akemi who chose him as one of the optimal candidates for her time travel program.

His face is covered in scars and almost always is grimacing. Bio: A troubled man reaching his later years, Lawrence is a old veteran serving in Desert Storm and even the early parts of the Iraq war. Lawrence is cold and collected only speaking when needed. He had a hard childhood having lost both of his parents at the age of 9, and was raised by his Grandpa until he passed away 7 years later. He worked for the next two years, living in his Grandpa`s place until he turned 18 and sold it before joining the military. He worked hard in the military, but had a problem with a few officers he served under, and so go screwed when he never got promoted beyond Corporal. Regardless, during the time he was hand picked several times to participate in spec-ops missions. This lead to him getting captured on purpose, but it backfired when the terrorists moved him to a different location and so he spent a year at the mercy of his captors. During that time he was tortured and left with many scars all over his body, mostly on his face. He also lost all his body fat and most of his musculature. Over a year later, he was recovered and immediately put back into service. He served for several years later until he retired. He has received many metals and even two purple hearts during that time. Since then, he has retired from the service(2013) and tried to adjust to life, but failed and ended up homeless for a while. He soon after met Ms. Ayaka and was hired on as muscle. (Hope I`m not too late to the party)
