I've been pondering this for a while, but not coming up with too much. What do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Any suggestions?

I like it, but then, my first ever main character is/was a time traveler.  Could be lots of fun! |

Cool. We must come up with a really really cool idea for it!

Where are we traveling to? Future/past?

I'd like it to be both, honestly. What does everyone else think?

If you can time travel I'd think it could be in either direction. If you could only go one direction it would be more of a time-oops.

Exactly. Plus, going back and forth is half the fun. Changing things, and.....ooooh paradoxes.

So who all wants to do this? We need a cool plot. I have an awesome idea for my character.

Here are some not-set-in-stone ideas:
1. In the future a terrible thing is about to happen. Democracy among planets is collapsing and an Emperor is rising, declaring martial law. Only one person can stop this…and he or she was born in the 1800’s. (Possibly to a guy from the future traveled into the past and had an inter-temporal fling). We would have to find them and convince them to come fulfill their destiny.
2. Similar idea except an important item exists in one time that is needed in another to divert disaster. Again, a Quest.
3. Maybe we just use the time travel technology to go back and change whatever we want to change in our lives and it has unforeseen (of course) ramifications. Might be hard to write as an RPG, though
4. The time door/portal/technology opens up a can of worms…it’s bringing the past into the future and vice versa and it’s up to us to fix it! This one could be fun.
5. When the time technology kicks in and works someone is sucked away from this time and into another, lost. We have to find them, traveling to different times and tracking clues they've left.
6. The idea of tracking...timeless criminals and bounty hunters. (okay, there is a movie like this, I think, but it's still a fun idea)

Alright, all of those are nifty ideas. My character is probably going to be an agent of the Servants of Chronos. If I go with that idea, the Servants of Chronos will be an ancient organization (originating during Greek mythology, but avoiding ever being recognized or having ever been recorded) which basically protects the fragile fabric of time and space, preventing time travel from being abused and the like. For those who don't know, Chronos was the greek God of Time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronos |

Hmmm in that case we could probably work round #4 so that someone's messing with time, causing clashes with past/future and the changing of history, which we have to stop - maybe some of us could be characters from different time periods that get caught up in the search, in order to fix our lives?

Sounds good! (would love to be a person you're trying to catch!)

Wait...Blossom....are you saying we should use #4? I don't get it.
But anyway, yes we should be chasing someone through time, I suppose that makes my character the main protagonist, but I'll pick the rest of you up in our chase after Twilight lol
So that sounds alright...what about everyone else?

OK, so we're leaning toward Twi's character being a sort of time hacker who not only travels through time but causes damage?
Why is TB's character doing this and how does the time travel work? Personally, I'd suggest that our characters have a genetic predisposition toward time travel that is somehow made viable (age, conditions, necessity, etc.)
I kind of like the idea of being from different times and coming together in a group though I'd have no problem with all being from the same time. Fun either way.
Kage, your character sounds like he'd be able to recognize 'gifted' characters even if we didn't know we had the potential for time travel. Might be an interesting twist for him to recruit a few characters. Just a suggestion, though.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I can't hide!?!
Ah, well...
As for why I'd be traveling and causing damage, well, suppose I got scared into traveling, finally figured out what I did and how, but by that time the people I'd dropped in on knew I was a time-traveler and that messed up the local continum... And seeing as how I'd figured out how to do it, I'm now blundering about in time, asking people what date it is trying to get back.

That sounds like a fun story. A simple misunderstanding causing chaos. I love it.
