- Main
- Name: Auris
- Faction: Time Jackers
- Occupation:
- Age: ?
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: Auris is built like an inverted triangle- broad shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. He wears dark colors, discarding the other Jackers' shower curtain ensembles for more functional, less conspicuous clothing. He has impeccable teeth and dark hair, which he admits to dying.
- Motif: Watches, Conspiracy Theories, Cryptids, UFOs
- Personality
- Personality: Auris isn't quite as overtly sociopathic as other Time Jackers. He smiles, he laughs genuinely, he says "sir," "ma'am," "Please," and "thank you." He never swears, he's a bit of a neat freak, and he's a big eater with a massive sweet tooth. He is, however, still a Time Jacker, out to alter the course of history for personal gain- the present and future be damned. He claims what he's doing is for humanity's greater good, though some might argue that point.
- S/W:
- + Excellent Liar
- + Hard to read, harder to track through time
- + Can absolutely blend in to a crowd
- - Compulsive Liar
- - Can't do 'subtle' plans to save his life
- - Blatantly untrustworthy.
- Ability:
- Time Manipulation- A standard ability of Time Jackers, which Auris claims was considered a parlor trick in his home time. Pause time, make it move faster or slower in a localized area, that sort of thing.
- Telekinesis- Auris claims this power is common in his time- the ability to move things with sheer force of will. However, it requires a number of "harmoniously minded" individuals to lift anything over twenty pounds or so, and it moves at a fairly slow, floaty pace. Smaller, lighter objects can be flung with greater speed, force, and precision, but seldom enough to cause harm unless the object is particularly sharp.
- Vibrational Resonance- By focusing, he can read and filter waves- radio waves, sound waves, microwaves, just about anything and he can recognize it. Mostly used to intercept communications.
- Skills: Other things that they can do?
- Weaponry:
- Equipment:
- Anotherwatch- The typical watches used by the Time Jackers, these use a Rider's powerset to alter the timeline- usually by writing over their history.
- Alterwatch- A type of Ridewatch based on changing the specifics of a point in the timeline. Usually, tying a Rider powerset to a historical event- fighting the physical example of the Black Plague, for example. It relies on altering an event's details, but not its outcome, so the changes can be harder to detect.
- Neverwatch- A type of Ridewatch based on events that never occurred, or were erased from history. Aliens building the pyramids, humans descending from an omnipotent race of vibrational psychics, a shadow government responsible for all evil in order to harvest negative psychic impressions, that sort of thing. Wild and unpredictable, these forcibly insert widespanning events into history to fuck with the timeline. Immediately noticeable, and easily reversed with the destruction of the Neverwatch, the changes take months to affect people's memories.
- Machine Titor- A combination chopper motorcycle and time machine, capable of riding across history. Using a relevant Ride, Another, Alter, or Neverwatch provides more precise control over the destination.
- Backstory
- History: Auris hails from a different time and place. That's about all that the other Time Jackers can agree upon. He's given each of them at least a dozen different versions of his tale- but a few common threads remain between them. He was part of a thriving civilization of humans, either in Earth's distant past, distant future, or distant a space colony (Either in the future or past). The society was laid low by the coming of The Dark Lord of Time. He fled to a less advance age with his time machine (which he claims is a bog-standard consumer model available to anyone with the cash) in order to hide out and plot revenge, where he ran into the other Time Jackers.
- They had very different histories than him- ones where time travel was a rarity, a construct of science fiction, rather than a common hobby or means of getting in an eight hour work week on your own terms. One where aliens, conspiracies, and monsters were rarities instead of the driving force behind human history and evolution. One involving teenagers with attitude, karate bugmen, and the like, rather than Titans of Light and Darkness. This difference in their past- and present and future- allowed Auris to call upon timelines that were impossible or inconceivable to the others. After all, with time travel as a common part of his society, he was USED to the idea of not only altering history, but having to sort out the alterations.
- Of course, that leaves a good number of details that vary between the tellings- is he from Ultima Thule, El Dorado, Crete, Ry'leh? Is he an Anunaki descended from the stars, a reptilian seeking to undermine the oppressive regime of a human dictator, or an Ultraterrestrial harvesting the chaos brought on by the Time Jackers? Is he a space dwelling humanoid or some genetically engineered ubermensch from a society of perfect ancestors/descendants, or a member of a slave race created to carve the moon into an artificial god? Wherever the truth lies, Auris isn't telling. All his comrades need to know is that he's got a beef with the Dark Lord of Time, a hundred different histories to pull Riders from, and a burning desire to reshape the world into what he knows it can be.
