Dearest friends!
I realize I have not yet made an introduction. So here I shall! (Along with a little hiatus notice.)
My name is Marty. You can reach me on AIM at
Polythene Woe. I currently have two characters in the game. The first, Miles Huxley (
briefcandle), is a time traveler who won't be born until the year 2015. He's an author and a free spirit. He has published numerous novels over the course of the last few centuries which has led some people in society to create a sort of peculiar cult following around him. Since no one has ever seen
the M.A. Huxley, there are numerous theories as to who the author actually is. Some say it's a conglomeration of authors. Some say it's a title passed down from one generation to the next. Others might think of more conspiratorial truths behind the mystery. There are two versions of Miles that will be seen throughout the game. The first, aptly named Good!Miles, is a rather bumbling, well-meaning fellow trying to prevent the persecution of powered people in the late 2030s. The other, known to some as
The Traveler, is a less forgiving version of Miles from the 2060s. His timeline is considerably more dark and twisted and he has some maniacal means for restoring a more friendly future. And, as can be seen already, the Huxley family has a long and seemingly neverending list of relatives.
The other character (who unfortunately will not see the light of day until my return from vacation,) is Roux Aubuchon. Roux was born in 1938 and followed his father's footsteps into the art of Houdini-esque magic performances. He has the ability to create lifelike illusions that confuse the senses. He was a member of The Elite from 1974 until his capture in 1977. (Yay for Bronze Age villains!) He then remained in custody, under solitary confinement, until his mysterious death in 1987. As far as villains were concerned, he had the potential of being a very good one, but he was blinded by an ill-sought love affair with another member of The Elite who did not share (exactly) his favors. He's very possessive and has quite a temper. He's also an expert manipulator. The Time Rip will be bringing him into the future from 1980, where he has not so nicely been driving himself mad with the company of his own illusions.
And now for the hiatus! Tomorrow I'm going to Walt Disney World for a week!! EEE! And I'm not bringing my computer with me. So I won't have any access to internet or anything until I get back. And the day I get back is the day school starts. GUH. Anyways ... BRING ME PLOT IDEAS. I have a 17 hour car drive to think about the game.
