Plot

Greg Taylor, a professor at Spring Eastern College, who teaches physics always had a dream. His dream came from his favourite movie, Back to the Future, to create a machine that could transfer one's molecules into any period of time back in the past. He spent countless hours through thick and thin but did not know squat about history till he met Sandra Marsh, the professor for history at the same college. He learnt everything from her to complete his machine but there was one problem.

However Professor Taylor got tried a few bugs and the machine went wrong sending the bugs to 1963 before they got crushed by a little girl trying to get her balloon. Professor Taylor fixed up the machine but still wasn't sure. The problem was after he created the machine, Professor Taylor did not have any test subjects. He wasn't allowed to use any animals after the College outlawed him from using an animals after his previous experiment to send a pig to Costa Rica but ended up turning the pig into bacon in Burkina Faso. He had to find humans but not force them into the trials. Why did he want to do this experiment? Because he wanted to actually. So Professor Taylor decided to put out an advertisement for students to trial out the machine for a $200 gift card that could be used in certain stores.

8 students decided to take part but little did they know, that they will be sent back in time.


What happens?

These 9 students will get lost in time and with the guidance of Professor Taylor and Sandra Marsh, they will have to try and get back to 2014 without dying or messing up history...a lot. Who knows what will happen?

Name: Shane Hughes

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Nationality: Australian

Appearance: Standing at 6'2" in the old height system, Shane is a tall fit male who basically shows that he plays a lot of sport. He has dark blonde hair matching with his brown eyes, so nothing out of the unusual but he has that Australian feel to him. He is a bit built in his physique which is something he always wondered why that happens. He likes to dress well because he sees himself as an advertisement for other people to look at and judge him. He likes to wear a lot of stuff that keeps up with the trends and he hates sunglasses.

Personality: Shane has be told that he is kooky, odd but really down to Earth and grounded. He likes to always do the right thing and sees himself as Barry Allen more than anything as someone who tries to help everyone and make sure that all his teammates and friends are safe and secure. That leads to a lot of people putting trust in him and seeing him as a leader even though he hates playing that role but it comes natural to him. Shane loves his sport and his women, he can't hold a relationship as he keeps on trying to find reasons to get out of it. However it is said that he is trying to find the 'one' or something like that. He loves comic books and also loves cartoons for some odd reason but all in all he is a kind goofy guy that he hopes can help everyone. He is modest in that he doesn't trying to show his strength and actually thinks he is pretty average.

Specialty: Finance Degree

Part Time Occupation: Bartender

Skills: Highly Competent Swimmer and Surfer, Fast Runner, Some detective deducing, leadership

Weaknesses: Basically idiotic with ideas, can't ski, can't cook, Too Ambitious, Struggles to maintain relationships with women, Goofy

History: Born in Melbourne, Australia to a cricketer and a flight attendant, Shane was the eldest child. He basically gunned in sports and education topping honors in his high school exams. On the field though he was a beast in cricket and basketball but that didn't work out since he got injured which put him in the sidelines for a quite a while. However he figured that while he focuses on getting back on the pitch, he would focus on education and get a degree before getting back to his sport. He loved finance because he found it interesting which is why he enrolled overseas in America to get the best education in that field. He went and focused on his degree while getting back to full fitness. He found out that Professor Taylor was offering $200 just to do a quick experiment, Shane figured since he was kind of broke after he dated some snooty girl, that he needed the money. So the Aussie went to Professor Taylor's fun filled experiment and wasn't fazed even though he heard about the bacon in Burkina Faso story.

Other: Australian Accent.



Name: Paige Moore

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Nationality: Half American/Half Russian

Appearance: Standing at 5'11, Paige is pretty tall compared to the average woman her age. She is seen as a classical girl someone who would fit right in the 1930's as someone with class and elegance but that is opinion from friends. She has auburn hair with a touch of red styled in long locks down to her chest which is moderate at best, noticeable and nice but not big at all. Paige has brown eyes from her father's side which as she has been told was her father's eyes with long lashes. She has a very elegant figure but nothing really spectacular at all. She likes to wear different outfits but she had picked out a white top under a lace green pussybow blouse and dark blue jeans with brown boots.

Personality: Paige is a very reserved woman, strongly confident in herself but not really when it comes to people. She is very trustworthy and is very material when it comes to her friends which is based on how her mother and father raised her to be. She is very cautious and likes to make sure no one jumps into any stupid thing/action. Paige is a romantic, a hopeless one at best. She will look around to find the one that she loves rather than taking the other view and just doing whatever. Paige has a leadership aura around her but she doesn't like to take that role as she feels that she would mess it up, more insecurity about herself than the people. She is a very independent measured woman.

Specialty: Human Resources

Part Time Occupation: Waitress

Skills: Leadership, thinks before she acts, seen as strong, fast runner, great skiier and ice skater, moderate surfer, resourceful

Weaknesses: Comes off as cold, doesn't trust people easily, not a thinker, too cautious and can't cook and no computer savvy skills

History: Paige is the lone child of a Russian figure skater who retired a long time ago after coming 3rd in the Winter Olympics in 1992 and an Alpine skier who had won gold in 1992, they had met during the Olympics and fell in love. They then moved to the States and lived there near the snow however Paige didn't get their athletic genes, just their looks which worked okay for her as she is not really too interested in sport even though she does watch it for kicks occasionally. She was a great student, a near perfectionist basically getting consistent great grades for studying than anything else. She wanted to study in commerce because that's where the money was to her, so Paige enrolled and from there became a student who basically did the work and enjoyed the social scene. She needed the money from Professor Taylor's experiment because she wanted to buy a new pair of shoes that would take her two days to work for even though she was really unsure about what could happen...

Other: Fashionista


Alrighty have fun guys and please don't mess up history. ;)

Name: Sonic. This is probably not his real name, but there's no way of finding out what it actually is.

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Nationality: Claims to be from Mobius, but is most likely American.

Appearance: Sonic spends almost all his time dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog. He wears a pair of blue footie pajamas, and has a pair of white gloves he wears as well. On his feet he wears a pair of red sneakers, and he meticulously applies facepaint every day. His hair is blue and spiked, and he has a headband with ears that look like Sonic's. Nobody has ever seen him out of costume.

Personality: Sonic seems to believe that he is Sonic the Hedgehog. He's a pretty laid back and cool guy, just like Sonic. He likes video games, and is actually fairly normal aside from the whole dressing up as a video game character all the time thing. He's nice enough, and pretty friendly too.

Specialty: Going fast.

Part Time Occupation: He works at his dad's video game store. He wears his costume there.

Skills: He actually can run at pretty impressive speeds. He's beaten the entire track team, and can even run up walls. He also is good at parkour, which means that security guards can't catch him. Basically, he's a ninja. Also, he once made a video game.

Weaknesses: He sometimes goes too fast and crashes into things. Also, campus security keeps trying to arrest him. Thinks he's Sonic the Hedgehog. Is doomed to one day be absorbed into the speed force.

History: Nobody knows Sonic's true identity. He just showed up at Spring Eastern College one day, and sat down in the middle of a math class. The professor tried calling security, but he was too fast for them. The next day, he was spotted in the biology lab, and was chased away by security, while yelling "COME ON, STEP IT UP!" as he easily evaded capture. This repeated for months, until finally everyone decided since he was always a good student and security never caught him that it was best to just let him stay. Security will still make a token effort to catch him, though most have just given up at this point.
