In 2096 C.E, a giant meteor shower occurred. But they were no ordinary meteors. Aside from actually being tough enough to break through earth's atmosphere, it was found that many people could harness the meteor's power to travel through time, as welk as receiving a secondary power, such as invisibility, or super strength! Not only that, but shards of the meteors split off as they careened towards earth, and were pulled towards those who had the most impact on history. Now, in the year 2196, secret society's have been formed, some to use the meteor's powers for good, and some for evil.

Time Travel Rules:
Rule 1: The Returning Property: If one travels to another time, one HAS to return. What this means is that you can only die during your own lifetime. So, if Paul(2176-2262) travels back to 2002, and gets shot by Suzy(1983-2066) because he's in a rival organisation, he doesn't die. However, if he travel's to 2178, and dies there, he stays dead for good.
Rule 2: The Battle Property: This is a corollary to rule 1. If two time travelers meet, they can, by mutual consent, agree to fight a duel to the death. They join hands to form a circle, and they are teleported to a pocket dimebsion, called an Anachronism Pocket. This area is, for all intents and purposes, in bothe fighter's lifetimes, and thus they can both die. This is often the only way for two time traveller's to kill each other.
Rule 3: The Locking Principle: If two time traveler's touch hands, but only one party is willing, than the unwilling party is locked in that time. That means they can only travel through time if the other person moves outside of a 40 foot range.
Rule 4: The Reversion Principle: Let's go with the classic example and say Paul decided to go back in time an assassinate Hitler, and succeeds. Now, you'd expect the Holocaust to be averted as a consequence, but you'd be wrong. Time is like a rubber band. Whenever you stretch it, it always bounces back. Even if you put a small hole in it, it would return quite close to it's previous form. So, if Hitler died before he was supposed to, some other guy, preferably having a similar background, would take his place.
Rule 5: The Reversion Corrolary: If something of this sort happens to a time traveller, however, they get no such benefit. The thing is, they usually cause so much trouble for the timestream, it would be much better off if they weren't replaced. Note that this only applies where rules 2 and 3 do.

Name: Adeodatus

Gender: Male

Age/Natural Lifespan: 24 (2172- unknown)

Important Historical Figure: No.

Appearance: Adeodatus has white hair, very pale, fair skin, and almost black eyes. He is very slender and tall. Like his ex-boss he wears a white, silicon, bullet-proof mask with a long protruding nose and painted designs. He has black tatoos down one arm wih tatoos in an ancient language. He wears a black thin robe with a white scarf.

History: Adeodatus was born and raised like a normal boy. He always had a knack for weapons and fighting. At 17 he was recruited ilegally by the Empire to serve their purposes. During this time no one really knows what happens. What is important is that he is of the few who escapes the Empire. At 21 after leaving he joins the Time Masters. As to hide his real identity, only the codename Adeodatus is used.

Personality: Adeodatus has to keep concealed so his personality is quite calm and quiet, letting few in. But when he is let in, his personality is still a tad quiet, yet he is nice and very loving. He keeps a happy outlook on life and is kind to all.

Powers: Pure invisibility- he can make himself invisible, pass through things, but he cannot materialize in solids. Nothing can touch him in this state.

Focus: Adeodatus' focus is a magnifying glass.

Weapons: Adeodatus' main weapons are two long thin katana blades forged of pure japanese steel. He also has a single pistol that is much more powerful than any usual gun, but rarely is used.

Organizations: Time Masters
 
Name: 'Arthur'
Gender: Male
Age/Natural Lifespan: 273 (Immortal to age, not to injury)
Important Historical Figure: Not to his species.
Appearance: Though appearing human, his body is significantly strong compared to human. He has slim red and black armour with blue bands around his ankles and wrists, and brown hair down to his calfs in a tail. Though his armour masks most his body, there is a natural weakness he has which occurs if enough pressure is applied to his chest, which if enough is applied, will result in death. For this reason he is never unarmed. When a disguise is needed, he can assume an alternate form by drinking some blood from another species, allowing him to take their form, but would require to redrink the blood when he leaves it.
History: Coming from the Final Universe, Arthur has been sent to ensure the humans don't abuse the power they have been given and to scout for any altering activity to this universe.
Personality: Authorians, when on a mission, are cold, emotionless soldiers. If killing a person is required, they will kill them. However, when off-duty, the Arthur is friendly, upbeat and would always place himself in the line of fire to defend his friends.
Powers: Being Authorian, Arthur can summon any weapon in the Authorian Arsenal, which is a basic assortment of every weapon they encounter. When in a pinch, he could alter his time-space location to avoid something, though this requires him to stand still, so he cannot do this while running.
Focus: Time Travel comes natural to an Authorian, but requires the armour to focus the power. Remove his armour and he will refuse to travel from that time period, waiting it out until he locates it, as time travel would result in ending up at a random point.
Weapons: Although he could summon any weapon, he seems to have a preference to a saber of light, coming from universe 'SW-1138,' which apparently had two religions named Jedi and Sith trying to destroy each other. It glows red.
Organizations: Arthur is a species referred to as a Authorian, which means "Protectors of universe". Mednosians are their natural enemy, their name meaning 'Destroys the universe'. The Authorians monitor the universes and ensure no alterations occur that shouldn't. When an alteration does occur, a soldier is sent to repair it, though should the alteration grow out of proportions a small army is sent, as it's usually from Mednosian activity. Their planet is barren, with only their city and the Mednosian city breaking the beautiful landscape. They have no star, instead orbiting a larger planet, alongside a broken moon, a second planet and a comet that has entered a perfect curve, retaining it's speed but never leaving the planet. It is unknown how they survived, even to them.
 
Name: Rex
Gender: M
Age/Natural Lifespan: 21, no memories of his original time
Important Historical Figure: no
Appearance: Dressed in a black cloak with a hood, standard for the Observers. He has pale blonde hair and silvery eyes.
History: His time travel and other powers fluctuate randomly; sometimes he'll have virtually no ability over them at all, with his powers activating on their own, other times he'll be able to affect others with his powers. He has learned many languages and fighting styles through this, but cannot remember the first few years of his life.
Personality: Cold and analytical
Powers: Can also 'blink' from place to place, but he has to have a general idea what the place is beforehand (unless his powers activate on thier own)
Focus: An ornate dagger (his blinking powers can still activate on their own without it)
Weapons: said dagger, also many other improvised weapons
Organizations: The Observers

The Observers are a group that watch other time travellers, watching their motives and intervening when they deem it nessecary. They also seem to have an immensly powerful leader.

Name: Rose
Gender: F
Age/Natural Lifespan: 22 (10212-10300)
Important Historical Figure: no
Appearance: With the cloak of the observers, she also has fair features, pinkish hair, and wicked grin.
History: She travelled across time looking for potential Observers until she found Rex, and took him into the orginization. They've grown close, but she still is looking for her birthparents that she never knew.
Personality: She seems warm and friendly, but it is a facade to all but her close friends, whereas she is usually unforgiving and deadly.
Powers: She can harness the pure essance of any object to summon a weapon from it.
Focus: A lotus petal, which she often turns into a scythe with her powers
Weapons: See Focus and Powers.
Organizations: The Observers

Wait, can we make a second??


Name: Proklet Tijelo

Gender: Male

Age/Natural Lifespan: Not Known, estimated to be 31 (

Important Historical Figure: (Yes or No.) No

Appearance: Proklet doesn't know what species he is. He looks kinda human. He is 9 feet, and very, very skiiny. His
four long arms sway down and almost reachis knees. He has long blood red hair that has been tied into dreads, and goes down his back. His six fingers are long and have an extra joint, as do his toes. He has tanned harsh skin and dark black eyes with red pupils. His whole body is wretched in tatoos. On his chest is are the words "bekend ans een beest". On his arms are the words "Ledemate vir die beskerming van mekaar". His other tatoos are differing patterns and tribals, ssome look like scars, others like ancient unreadable words. He can twist his spine and neck around 180. His teeth are all sharp.
For clothing he wears shorts and a plain striped shirt. he has sandals on his feet and in his backpack, portable armour. It is a peice of which he smashes into his chest. This organic armour binds itself to his body and coats it in a thin, ultra protective armour. This armour swirls in colors of black, blue, purple and red. It completely covers his face, save his eyes, which a glasslike peice covers. It appears he can breath through this.

History: Proklet knows not of his past, for the most. He only knows that one day he woke up in the hands of the Mednosians. They had bound his hands and feet in a clean laboratory. They told him "You, we have chosen. You are the prophet to our success. You are Proklet. Thank you." They then etched the tatoos all over his body, chanting and laughing, insribing special powers into his body. They then took a peice of the meteor that had been made to the form of a small knife blade. They broke it into four and shoved each into one of his arms, painfully. His focus has embedded itself into his bidy. They then trained him to be their perfect weapon, giving him the prototype armour and weapon. He rebelled almost instintally, during a short battle against the Aurtorians. He led to their defeat and held on to an Aurtorian ship, and fell of onto the planet.

Personality: Proklet has tried to suppress his past and love everything. He loves to talk and let people know all of his love. He sings out loud, praises everything and love to be with nature. He enjoys being active and never hides anything. His fears have all been eraticated, he believes that there is nothing left to fear. He is not reluctant to use violence, but cannot bring himself to kill anything. He eats plants.

Powers: His top arms have the ability to create and control fire from nothing. His bottom arms can create a space-time portal, a personal one he uses to store things and retrieve later. He can travel time, but roughly and weakly.

Focus: The knife shards in his arms.

Weapons: His only weapon is the prototype gun he stole from the Mednosians. It is labeled GBE, which stands for Gravitational Beam Emmiter. This weapon has amazing powers, bending the gravity-space continium at full power. It has four leves. Each level requires him to use another arm (four at level four, ect.)
He rarely uses past Level Two.

Organizations: At the moment he is trying to locate the Arturian City. He hopes to join them.

History: Look it up :)

Personality: Leonardo is an incredibly intelligent man (many historians believe he was the most diversely talented man in history) and as a result can appear to be a bit of a showoff. But the truth is that he is actually a kind and genial man who is incredibly witty. He isn't the bravest man, but he is willing to stand up for what he believes in.

Powers: Besides his incredible intelligence and skills in engineering, Leonardo has been blessed with the ability to blend into any setting and situation. He is also able to turn invisible and can move at super speeds.

Important Historical Figure: Yes
Appearance:
58455stalin.jpg

History: Look it up
Personality: He can be a bit ruthless, even if you're on his side. It is extremely hard to earn his trust. If you get him angry, that's basically a death sentence for you. He's usually a pretty nice guy if he does trust you, though.
Powers: He can let out blasts fo red aura, and create ice from water vapor in the air. Also, for some reason, he can fly.
Focus: A Hammer-and-Sickle amulet around his neck.
Weapons: An AK-47, two iron boxing gloves, a hammer, and a sickle.
Organizations: Red Travellers
A group trying to spread the teachings of Karl Marx throughout history, and ultimately conquer the world starting before Communism was thought up, and have a world under Soviet Power.
 
Good sirs, those...are epic. Approved. It'll start on saturday.

Oh, one last thing that I forgot. If you have an organization, please post the base location.
 
The Observers don't have a base, per se. One of their leader's powers is the ability to loop time powers, and they meet seven seconds after time was created (since any closer and they can't stand the creation)
 
Authorians kinda live at the end of all universes, so there's no base unless you wanna cut to The Final Universe every time he requires rest.
 
The "Calm the F Down" Foundation really doesn't have a base and is always moving.
 
Name: Angel Ketchum

Gender: Female

Age/Natural lifespan: 13 (2020-2050)

Important historical figure: Yes

Appearence: Wears short jeans, a pink pokemon league cap and a light blue short sleeved t-shirt. Has long black hair tied into two pigtails. Has a pink rucksack with a pokeball slot.

History: Is the daughter of the famous Ash Ketchum, she was raised by Ash's mum but after her untimely death she was taken into the future where she sees numerous statues of her father and some of a woman with her name at the bottom. Angel's goal is to find out who her mother was, since she wasn't able to discover her mother's identity while she was in her time she has done lots of research and narrowed it down to three woman, Misty, May and Dawn all three great pokemon trainers/co-ordinators.

Personality: (all the traits of Ash)

Powers: Can read thoughts, feelings and anyone's history. Can control the weather to an extent because she is still young.

Focus: A sapphire ring which she wears on her left middle finger.

Weapons: Her Pichu which is the direct descendant of Ash's Pikachu. It was declared as the universe's most powerful Pichu. Second most powerful electrical pokemon.

Organisations: None yet
 
Thing is... the dimension this RP takes place in isn't the one pokemon takes place in. As far as the denizens of the game's universe are concerned, Pokemon is just a video game and anime series.
 
Hey, that little fact of universal difference isn't stopping my Authorian, albeit they're able to travel through every space, time and universe at will. Hell the only reason he's here is to make sure the humans don't screw up their giftpowers.
 
Ooooh, thanks, god point. Accepted, if you'll put in a way she could have gotten to the dimension this game takes place in.
 
Well, since Raichu99 hasn't made a reason she's here, I'm gonna say Angel stumbled through a rip in dimension that the Authorians hadn't got around to fixing, and ended up here. Arthur will take her back ones this mission is over, since he isn't allowed to leave until he deems humans responsible.

That OK, Raichu99?
