Picture

Background

History: After Vladimir Putin stopped getting elected and Russia's laws were relaxed, travel became much easier. Many people flocked to Moscow and St. Petersburg to see the various historical locations. One of these such people is Steven. He had always wanted to go to Russia, but the arduous process made things incredibly hard to go, but since the laws are looser, hey, why not go?


Rift History: He had just stepped outside the hotel on his way to dinner when the sky lit up. People all around him freaked out and rubbing their eyes. "This must be a hallucination," they thought but not so. The last thing Steven felt was a pleasant heat, like being in a warm bed before passing out and hitting the ground with a whump. When he woke up, he was in a hospital. A doctor came out and told him in very broken English that he was found passed out. He was tested for a concussion and found he was fine, charged a fee, and sent on his way.


War History: When the war broke out, Steven was very fast in signing up for the army.
He went through boot camp and got sent to the war front. During the war, he found that if he threw a grenade, his targets always lagged behind a bit and more always got caught in the blast. In one battle, a missile was heading for him and his group. This is it, he thought. This is where I die. He threw his arms up in a futile attempt to protect himself and closed his eyes. The explosion came but the blast didn't. He opened his eyes and saw a bubble surrounding him and his squad and a blast very much evident, shown by the black marks coming out from the contact point.

Alliance: After the war, (I went back to New York) he sought out his cousin Nigel in the Stormlands. He found him and set up shop right on the other side of the border in the TemporalZone, content to live out his life. He experimented and figured out how exactly to trigger his powers.

Okay, just checked and I've been writing my ship name wrong. It's el POZO negro not pezo. Please note this from now on

There is no direct year set, but just imagine it's somewhere around 2020 or so.

@Puffhead

That is perfect, thank you.

What year is this set in? It's pretty important to figure out what the rift is.

Can I join? This concept sounds super cool and I'd love to play around with it.

Distress Signal: Bandits Attacking a Mercenary Ship

"Hello, I am Captain Titanius Anglesmith, fancy man of Cornwood and owner and operator of the Danube-class ship El Pezo Negro. I was coming to ask, why are you here and how did you deactivate my cloak?" he called out, modulator deepening and making his voice much more gravelly. Basically, it made his voice Batman. He pressed a button and lights on the mask lit up, lighting up wherever his head was pointed. He pulled out his knife, his only form of self defense and threw it at a control panel. It harmlessly bounced off after hitting the panel with the handle. He retrieved the knife and kept it out, but didn't do anything else with it. "And you left your mike on. You won't find out my real name unless you come down to see me, face to face."

"Ahh! What the heck!" he exclaimed as the cloak dropped. This also had the effect of making him let go in a panic and started floating away from the ship. "Gah, wait no!" he jetted back toward the Los Lobos in a futile attempt to stay hidden. "Well, they know I'm here so may as well try to speak with the pilot." He started toward what seemed to be (and is) an airlock. He pressed a button asking to be let in. While waiting, he pressed a button on his mask to activate a voice modulator. Now, he would have a much gravelier voice so long as he kept his mask on. He checked the battery on the cloak and found that it had been fully recharged as soon as he touched the ship, the suit having redirected the electricity to various systems as a way to avoid shocking Nilam.

Just your character in general. And I put that there on purpose, have one of the (if not the) first lines be "he knew he was there" or words to that effect

"Hm?" Nilam questioned as the scrolls lit up. "DIANTO, identify." "Of course, captain. Scans indicate that a Peregrine-class ship is approaching. One lifeform detected, though there may be more." Nilam took a second to process this information and come up with a plan. He sent an "identify yourself" message and grabbed the only gun responsive to his touch. Upon inspection, all the charge was gone and would take longer than they had to even be considered. "Lachesniv, check locker 5, there may be batteries. I'm going to pay a visit to our new friend. Breeze... do what you want, really. I'm guessing you aren't a very good fighter so..." he trailed off. He snatched a scroll from the ground and stepped into the airlock. He placed a mask on, and pressed a button. In mere moments, he was invisible to anyone who didn't know what to look for. Considering the other ship had just arrived, he was relying on the pilot not knowing. The airlock opened and instead of using his jet pack, he basically just grabbed the ship and pushed him toward the other one. Right before he flew past, he grabbed a little bar that was sticking out. "They have no idea I'm here, heh heh heh..."
