Well guys it's been nearly a month since we started the Time Travel RP topic and here we are. Now I would say lets make the history of this unnamed world similar to Earth but... that would be boring. I say go crazy, especially in the short background part of the bio rubric. But remember it's a SHORT background. Keep it simple and sweet. But without further rambling....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fabric of time has been torn asunder.
At first the differences were minor. The year was 2103 when a scientist created a time machine. It was also the very thing that killed him. Without no one maintaining the machine it began to unravel the threads of time. Time split off from itself, fate no longer binding sentient life together. The threads of fate once had us bound went off into the unknown, for both the past and future. The machine's affects began to fold even into the past. Only one thing was set in stone: The scientist dying and all time veering off. That single focal point is what time has been reduced to.
Nearly a thousand years later, in 3434, all life is extinct. Oddly across all timelines this is the conclusion, despite the countless veering paths. The world is an emptied husk of what it used to be, a desolate wasteland. In the years leading to this horrible end, the remaining humans forged together an artificial intelligence to be their savior, for they knew the machine would out last them.
Now with all recorded history and split timelines within its databanks, the A.I. named Addendum, it must search out heroes from the past to save a doomed future....

Ryan's parents left only one strict instruction, that he mustn't change his name from Ryan Taylor, his birth name and he chose to respect that wish.

His country is in a peaceful time now, but he is still highly trained in the recently perfected technology of several modern weapons.

-Basic: Name: Clair Calico
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Year: 2013
Weapon(s): Twin revolvers; combat knife.
-Appearance: Eye color: Reddish brown
Hair color and style: Dirty blonde hair, short in the back but with long bangs in the front. (Visual).
Height: 5' 8"
Build/Weight: Athletic/140 lbs.
Clothing/Features: Usually wears her white trench coat over some simple clothing along with a red scarf around her neck. As physical features go, she has a prominent nose that compliments a soft face that can easily become hardened.
-Personal: Personality and Tone of voice: Has a deep but feminine voice that has the air of authority in it. Clair has trained her voice to be neutral, but usually gets higher when joking, the seldom times she does so. The soldier is static with her stern face and attitude but does have a soft side. Having grown up in Tyberia, Clair is sexist towards men.
Short Background: Clair Calico was an orphan in the mountainous land of Tyberia. Despite her circumstances and knowing nothing of her family, she lived happily in the orphanage but felt she could be so much more. Luckily for her, the many city-states finally converged to create a nation and began making a unified military. Seeing opportunity, Clair jumped to enlist along with other women of Tyberia, the region traditionally having only females as warriors. The new Tyberian army began a harsh training regiment for their armies, Clair climbing the ranks and falling in love with her new found country. At age 21 she became a Tyberian special agent. (All right, anyone interested in this state your intent if you haven't put your character up. I'd like to know how many people are joining before I gauge a day to start the posting.)

(All right... deadline and starting time is this Monday.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
After speaking with Nova about the time machine, specifically our characters no longer existing after time is fixed, I have edited the intro post. Most of it is the same, but now EVERYTHING is screwed up in time except those few moments where the scientist died.
I believe this actually helps, because now we can have characters from before 2103 without fear of contradicting what someone else has created in history before that. Now we can have characters from the same exact year but can be COMPLETELY different things. If anyone needs more time to create a character(s) OR edit your current one(s) with this news, please notify on here or just PM me and I'll bump the deadline for your convenience.)

( Finally a Gypsy)
Name: Rayleih Reiliard Gender: male Age: 17 Year: 1746 Weapons: A strange metal substance that Rayleih can bend into different shapes at will. It's named is Sutametaru or Suta for short. -Appearance: Messy black hair, tan skin and yellow iris's. Wears a plain white shirt, with a leather strap over his chest. Has black pants with leather working boots. Wears a cloak over his normal attire. Also has a leather belt which he keeps the container for Suta attached to. A strange black tattoo runs up his left arm. Height: 5'9 Build/Weight: average -Personal: A pretty cool guy Personality and Tone of voice: Probably the most sexual thing that has ever existed in the history of anything. He knows what the bitches like, and the bitches like him.
Short Background: Rayleih is from 1740's, long before the great magic collapse of the late 1800's. Thus, Rayleih can use magic. His most prominent from of magic is bending the extremely malleable metal that he found after it fell from the sky into any shape he wants. An odd trait that Rayleih shares with others of his time period is that his body naturally produces mana which only became common place between 1650 and 1715, before it was banned by the United Kingdom, and adopted by France, Germany, Italy, and many other countries of eastern Europe as scholars realized that the earth was producing less and less mana, and humans being able to to use more. Even with the ban, in his spare time, Rayleih likes to create magical machines and work with Suta, along with tinker with magic, both new and ancient.

-Appearance: Eye color: Pale blue, deep set eyes
Hair color and style: Ginger, in a thick straight bob. Tia also has an elastic hairband to keep her bangs out of her face
Height: 5' 10"
Build/Weight: Tall and graceful. 173 lbs (to include her legs, about )
Clothing/Features: Tia has an upturned nose, small ears, and small hands. Her bionic legs begin at mid thigh, and are big and round with white fashion plating. The legs are littered with signatures and stickers and doodles. As for clothing. she doesn't wear pants and instead has a very long loose shirt that covers her hips at least.
-Personal: Personality and Tone of voice: Confident and perky, Tia would the one to lighten the mood anywhere with an observation or some teasing. Bit of a motor mouth, her voice is low and breathy. She's incapable of yelling really loud, so she's a really great whisperer and mutterer. She likes humming.
Short Background: Tia was a normal girl who was a big fan of music, dance, and gymnastics. She took many dance classes and earned a few championships in gymnastics. After graduating, she and her friends we planning a road trip to celebrate their sweet sweet freedom, but that plan was ruined. Tia lost her legs in an accident, but with the wonders of technology was granted bionic legs so she could still walk. She gained her legs at age 18, and only after two years was she ever able to get used to walking in them. Her legs are a rarity, so she's received lots of publicity for them.

~Clair~ ~Year: 2013~ (It maybe a good idea to add this at the top of our posts or when we do a time transition.)
Clair crossed her arms, looking out her window at the snowy streets below. Despite the thick snow on the ground, people were marching in the street and cheering. Fires were lit in the night and national anthems were being drunkenly shouted along to. "Am I the only one who has a bad feeling about this?" The blonde haired woman asked. War had been declared on a neighboring country. Tyberian forces would be moving out tomorrow morning.
The agent moved away from the window, sitting down in the lone chair of her apartment. The women she had trained with would die. How many, she did not know, but one was bad enough. Clair's hawk shaped eyes swiveled to the side, the woman hearing something. She lifted her candle and drew out one of her revolvers, approaching the source of the noise.
Out of the darkness, a black liquid pounced at her. Clair quickly pulled her trigger, the flying metal simply going through it harmlessly. It was too fast and the woman knew it would be upon her before she knew it....
~Year: 3434~
...Or at least she thought she knew. Clair blinked her red eyes, noting she was no longer in her apartment. The vast size of the room and the large metal crates indicated she was in some warehouse but...
"Hello?" She shouted, glancing around the area.

~Ryan~ ~Year 2250~
Today was the day. The day Ryan would take the first step in discovering his lineage. After months of research, his old adoption clinic had managed to find someone related to him. Someone with his father's DNA. Ryan thought about the message he received earlier that week.
"Mr. Taylor,
I'm happy to tell you that we have found someone in our databases that is a partial match to your own DNA. He isn't your father, though the DNA is close enough for him to be your half-brother. He's about 5 years younger than you are, given to relative agency is a similar fashion as yourself. The most striking similarity however is the boy's name. Your father requested that his name must be Ryan Taylor. I'm sure you're interested in meeting the boy, and we have set up a time next week for you two to discuss this strange lineage, if you wish."
"Why is his name Ryan Taylor...?" Ryan asked himself as he neared the meeting spot, an old park within his hometown. Ryan sat on the bench where he would meet the young man, thinking of what he would say. He wondered how similar his brother might look to him, and he waited eagerly to find him.
Ryan looked up to the sky as he waited in the hot sun. "At least I'll get a little color for my skin if he's late..." he said, laughing to himself. As he looked around, he saw an African America teenage walk towards the bench. As he came, he stood in front of Ryan, eyes closed.
"Um...can I help you kid?" he said quietly as as he looked around him.
"Are...you Ryan Taylor?" The young Ryan opened his eyes, revealing the same genetic defect on his eyes. A golden splice on the boy's natural eye color.
"Yes....don't tell me you're....."
"Yep. Ryan Taylor. Your...brother, quite literally, from another mother." Ryan smiled as he stared up at the boy.
"Well, I have to say...Dad's surprised me this time." Ryan said getting up to shake the boy's hand. As he grabbed the boy's hand, feeling the boy's firm grip, he felt a almost fatherly connection. However, the strange feeling of pride vanished as Ryan spotted sparks appeared around the two. "Umm....Ryan, do you see what I'm seeing?" he asked as the sparks grew brighter and faster. The two soon realized they couldn't undo their grip to escape and almost with the blink of an eye, the two vanished.
~Year 3434~ Ryan awoke on the ground of what seemed like an empty arena. He looked at his hands, to see one holding one of his military gunblades. It was soaked in blood. Ryan then heard an echoing voice. "A victor has been found."

Tia Kovac -Year 2293: Two years before Extraction-
"Hey Becca, did you sit on the Cheetos again?"
"What? Again? I don't even like those. Stop hogging the Fritos!"
"You're the only one who eats them."
Tia giggled quietly at her friends. She was lucky to had called dibs on the passenger seat of the 15-seater rental van before everyone else, because as excited as she was to be on this road trip she needed the air conditioning on her face or else she wouldn't last an hour squished between teens and pillows and blankets and nine other eighteen year olds and everything. Besides, she was happy enough just watching the Nevada desert scenery scroll past the window with her fore fingers on her lips, humming along with the radio.
Her free hand was closed above her bare knees, and she rubbed her thumb against its smooth fleshy surface while she tried to remain aware of commotion going on behind her. Besides the view and the air conditioning, there was another reason Tia was lucky to be in the passenger seat.
"Hey kiddies, don't make me turn this adventure van around!" Calvin yelled over his shoulder without taking his eyes off the road. "We aren't even in Reno yet! You can get all the fritos and cheetos and hookers you want there."
The rest of the van cheered and started to chatter and joke with each other. Tia immediately threw out her hand and smacked Calvin's arm and burst out laughing. Calvin recoiled and grinned. "What? I've heard stories. Not like I know first hand what goes on there..."
"Just drive, Cal." Tia glanced at him and reached down by her feet for her camera. She wanted to be able to remember this trip for a while, the first time she'd be out of the house, living by her own money and volition. Especially with all her friends there.
Tia twisted in her seat to face the back, camera poised in her hands. "Everyone! Smile!"
-Year 3434-
Tia peeked around the large crate when she heard a female voice call out. It was a sound that reverberated against the walls and her eardrums as if it was the most beautiful piece of music she had ever experienced, even though she couldn't help but think it could use less bass.
"Hello~?" Tia cried back, not sure where the cry came from. Plus it was either a friendly cry or the one behind her sudden teleportation, but she hoped the latter so she could at least find out what was going on.

~Clair~ ~Year 3434~
The woman turned to the source of the voice, walking fast down the lane between crates. Dust covered every metal crate and under that there was rust. The place really was abandoned, except for Clair and this other voice.
Clair tightly turned the corner, almost bumping into Tia. The agent stepped back quickly, her hand gripping the revolver she held. She did not raise it nor did she put it away. "Who are you?" She asked, scanning the younger woman and immediately noticed her metal legs. The woman thought this was highly strange, but kept that thought off her expression.

Tia jumped back when Clair rounded the corner, her eyes fluttering and her hand held up against her chest in surprise. Whether or not she was seriously frightened was hard to tell. "Whoa! Wait, wait a minute." Tia glanced at Clair's gun before looking her in the eye, holding her gaze. "You don't need to get defensive, I'm just a little confused." She ignored Clair's glance at her legs.

~Ryan~ "A victor...? What?" Ryan stood up, glancing around the area. He held the stained gunblade at the ready, searching for the source of the voice.
"He's a strong one..."
"A soldier...ready for his orders..."
The voices, all sounding similar to one another, began praising Ryan's skills.
"I hope he'll join us..."
"He will. How else will he leave?" Ryan, upon hearing this, finally began to speak up.
"Why am I here....why is this gunblade covered in blood?!" The voices continued talking among themselves.
"No memory of it either, he's perfect for us!" One of the voices began to laugh with glee.
"I want answers, NOW!" Ryan cried out, changing the blade into a rifle and shooting off a round. They only responded with more laughter.

~Clair~
"Glad I'm not the only one." The woman said, sliding her pistol into the holster. The agent mentally sighed, glad this girl at least looked friendly. "The name's Clair. Do you know where we are?" She asked, glancing down all ways of the intersection. No one else was around and it was still eerily quiet. If someone else was around they could have easily heard the two females talking.

"Well that was too easy..." Tia didn't relax. This lady had a quick trigger, and while she seemed disarmed Tia couldn't shake the idea this person had a quick temper as well.
"And I have no idea. It looks like some sort of warehouse, but at the same time, it doesn't feel like one."
