Introductory post
Welcome to my Newest and Most Creative (For me anyway Quest) A History of All Existence! The point of this quest is to have your character, whoever he/she may be to travel to different points in history and change certain effects. Unlike most Time Travel stories, any time you time travel, a new universe will be created based upon your actions. So let's say you wanna time travel to stop the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Well nothing's gonna change in the time you originally came from, but things will definitely change in the timeline you just created. If it helps, think of DBZ time travel rules.
At any Rate, Character creation time. Sv's task is to write up a short biography of a more or less normal person in our world, with 10 skill points to distribute. What to distribute them into? That's up to you! You can put a maximum of 4 skill points in a skill. 4 points in a skill means that you are really great at the skill. To give an example, Bruce Lee had 4 skill points in martial arts. 3 Points in a skill means you're an expert, but by no means legendary. 2 points means you're good at it but by no means an expert, 1 skill point means you're a novice, and no points represents a layman's average ability to do the skill. So 0 points would be most people's martial arts score.
Example skills:
Athletic
Basic Social
Burglary
Deceive
Driving
Empathy
Engineering
Historical Knowledge
Investigation
Leadership
Martial Arts
Notice
Physique
Provoke
Shooting
Statesmanship
Stealth
Will
These are all examples, you are welcome to use them and welcome to ignore them.
And before anyone asks, yes I did get inspiration for the mechanics from FATE.

Despite me being lazy, the urge to create is within me once more. So here I am. Before we start I should ask a few questions. These aren't going to be voted on but I'd appreciate hearing the thoughts of anyone who comes across this thread.
1. Should I continue character Creation? If so, should I cancel the two votes from before.
2. Do you like the character creation mechanics or would you have them altered?
3. Do you require background about the world our hero is from or should we start in media res?
Here's to success and an attempt where my work ethic does not fail me!
