The Time Travel RP Idea

OOC: Here is my idea for a new RP idea I have come up. I can explain more about the characters if you need some more information. Also, here is a website that talks about the main character: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashman

-------------------------
In the 1800's, a British colonel named Harry Flashman is fighting the Sepoys in the famous 1857 Rebellion, when he is suddenly encased in a flash of light and vanishes. He finds himself in 21st century America, where he begins to see that America has changed since he was around (in the "Flashman" series, he visits America)

He meets two young high school students who were testing a machine they invented that could bring book characters to the present day. Flashman begins to adapt to American life, but finds that things are different, such as "Vicky" (Queen Victoria) having been deceased for years, people know about his exploits through the "Flashman" book series, and other things.

Flashman does not have his wife, Elspeth, with him, as she is back in the book, nor does he have his children. After some time in America, he goes back to Victorian Britain.

This is a idea I came up with just recently. I am thinking of using other characters from books or real life people. If you have any suggestions, then just tell me about them. Thank you for your time in reading this.

OOC: I will be playing as Flashman, but I need others to play as the students and other characters. You can make your own characters if you want to.

Joseph Ieka

Height:5'6
Biography: He is one of the students that developed the time machine project. Although dwarfed by the football star, he can stand his own. Joseph usually will faght and fight hard if someone tries to force him to see their way. He prefers words to fighting, but isn't always above using his fists, or a welding iron if he happens to be working on a new project.

So it basicly "reads" the book and gives the main character a physical form with all his/her memories and personality?

OOC: You are not being rude. Here is a description:

The Character Generator 1000 is the first of its kind. You have to hook it up to a computer, where you operate it (comes with a CD). If it says: "You need to insert (name of book)", it means you may not have the book in yet. After making sure the book is correct and so on, you press OK and the Generator will spawn out the character, you can see the form being created, and after it is done, the Machine will say "Complete".

Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 19:57
Yeah, I know but still, we could do it at one point! I'd love to see what Snape could do to the school, I mean really what could those antagonist's do outside of their realm?, beside's on any book that we unleash antagonist's, we have the protangonist's to counter them. :p

That's true. But then why settle for Snape? Why not just skip right to werewolf Lupin, the dementors, or even Voldemort? Or better yet, Harry's parents get mentioned enough in the books, what if we were to bring them and Harry out of one of the books? Quite the reuninon!

Another thing, can this machine/computer program bring specific objects out as well?

08-06-2007, 20:06
Sly, I want to do that as well, but I wanted to bring Snape out, so I could give him a sound beating for his actions?, I'd love to bring Voldermort out too, and maybe if we got the Star War's noveliztion's, we could bring Obi Wan out too! Hey, this RP has all kind's of uses!
Sylvonia
08-06-2007, 20:08
First, a little chaos never hurt anyone, much! So that could be fun.

Second, sticking with the Harry Potter semi-theme, wands of the released characters, the Mirror of Erised(sp?), or (streaching out into other books) super-computers, vehicles, or other such objects.
Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 20:09
Sly, could ya imagine Snape hexing people? That would be ROTFL material, and Voldermort, attempting to go after my guy, I say, we should do Harry Potter books, followed by G.A Henty book's, followed by LOTR book's,.
Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 20:10
SLy, but would Snape be able to use a non-verbal killing curse on you though, I would suggest, I distract him, and I beat him up, and you can blow his brain's out.

All kinds of uses, yes. Just don't slice me in half with a light-saber. And you get to beat him only if I get to blast his brains out with a semi-automatic.:p Deal?

Hi

The character, Flashman, originally came from "Tom Brown's School Days" by Thomas Hughes. He was a cruel and selfish bully at an English public school, who "got a girl into trouble" and became the enemy of (among others) the book's hero (Tom Brown, funnily enough).

"Flash" was resurrected by George Macdonald Fraser, using the premise that, although he remained something of a rogue into middle age, the villain of Hughes's classic work eventually became a true hero, partly through bravery, partly through luck and mainly because he was reshaped by his experiences. I think there are about fifteen books in the series.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to either (a) put the old (heroic) Flashman in an American high school (except as a teacher, perhaps) or (b) make the young Flashman a hero, which he certainly wasn't.

It's only chaos if Lucious and Beatrix are there with him. Another problem, can we put the characters BACK in the book? Or do we have to kill them first?

OOC: As for putting them back in the book, you need to get them into a part of the Machine, the "De-Generator". It will transport them back. You do not have to kill them.

OOC: You seem to know about Flashman. I only have one book of the series, and I thought it could be an ok idea. I may be changing the character perhaps, or we can bring in several, who knows?

Flashman could get hired as a teacher in the school. I do not think that would be a problem, a Victorian British colonel teaching 21st century American students could be interesting.

Good to hear, because although a welding torch is good, I don't quite think it will do much beyond cutting off a finger, at most. They're strong, but not that strong!

And what's the problem with making Flash a teacher? Unless that is a problem or we simply have him as himself and just kinda let him be with no real 21st century profession. It's not my decision to make though.

OOC: Who is "not that strong" exactly?

Also, Flash could be a teacher or simply be with no profession. He could simply experience the 21st century, far different from Victorian Britain. Flashman could even read the series about him. I may either keep Flashman or use another character. If this RP goes well, we could do others with the "Machine Kids".

Not "who," "what". I was talking about the welding torch (if you go back to my first post, you'll se where I'm draging it up from). They definatly pack a punch (220 volts of punch) but this is one tool that isn't very deadly unless you're grounded. I was going back to how to put them in the book. I suppose I should have made things a bit more clear.

Bring in all the books you want. Just remember that there are (unless I'm mistaken or someone else joins) only 2 of us. All Machine Kids will be operating the machine at some point. And is there even a Flashman anymore? If not, it looks like we're bringing Harry out.

I was re-reading a couple posts and have another question. Did this mis-fit group make this machine themselves or buy it from somewhere? if they made it, how would it come with a CD, wouldn't the program to run it be on the computer?

Hey, maybe Tonk's might think John's a handsome man even though he's a muggle. Syl, what whould you think of like say Marvolo Gaunt walking down the street, ha, he'd be taken to an insane aslyum I'd bet.

OOC: Perhaps someone could bring Voldemort into the city from the machine, such as a bully or younger sibling.

I have, I haven't forgotten Ron and Hermione, I can't wait until Draco come's, I can't wait to beat him up!

Then I guess we will do Harry Potter, but in the next RP involving the Machine Kids, we use another book. Also, I think you are missing some characters from Harry Potter such as Hagrid or Hermione Granger.

Ya, we're forgetting them in our posts, but Ron and Hermonie actually seem semi-normal. And it's not like we don't know Hagrid's response to being in London. But I think they're still going to get in somehow. Draco might stand out, and Dumbledore wouldn't care what people say. Oh wait, everyon'e read book 6 by now, right?

Forget the asylum, someone'd shoot him first! But we do need to remember to keep in the other characters. And we could add Tom Riddle. Is there a way to change the personality of a person using the machine?

OOC: I never thought about changing personalities. We could try that, but perhaps we could stick to the "default" personalities for the characters, so we could, perhaps, have feuds, etc.

Khyzeria, Syl, could we have as Syl said have Tom Riddle change from say, his charming personality and look's from Hogwart's, to his evil, scary looking Lord Voldemort self?

OOC: We could try that, or we could have him morph into Voldemort, or we could have a bully or younger sibling release Voldemort instead of having Tom Riddle in the city.
Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 21:42
So, I'd guess the younger sibling would release him, because they don't know who is is, and they're curious?

I guess if more people don't sign on soon, we could go ahead and start the RP then.

I think I lost myself re-reading that so much. Do you mean that we bring out Riddle and he changes to the exact Voldemort we know, or he changes to voldemort with his good personality? Though was he ever good? He did open the Chamber of Secrets...

08-06-2007, 21:43
What I meant was having him change from Tom Riddle at Hogwart's to the Voldermort we know Syl, sorry about the confusion.

Thanks for the clarification. And has anyone heard from Angaor recently? he had a character and then he just kinda dropped off the face of the earth. But it's looking like it's about time to start. Got a thread name yet?

I dunno, maybe he's been grounded or something, I guess we could call it The Kid Machines: Harry Potter edition, I think Khyzeria should start the thread.

OOC: We could, if more people do not sign on soon, have NPC's as bystanders, etc. Also, a younger sibling could release him, not knowing about who he is.

OOC: I will start the thread soon and I will call it: "Harry Potter and the Machine Kids" or something like that. Before I do start, I would like to wait for a bit to see if anyone else joins in.

Sounds good. But I'll warn you now, I have a kitten wandering around, and she likes to step on my wireless keyboard, so if I have a couple random characters that I miss correcting, don't be suprised.
Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 21:55
Ah, Syl, I have a cat too that does that, I'll understand :p

Anyway, I couldn't imagine what would happen if we let the Guant's wander the street's, probably bad things.

Try great things. Back in book one to quote the almighty wand maker "...great things - terrible, yes, but great." So I'll use great things in Olivander's terms.

Although, I think another hilarious thing would be to bring Grawp, Hagrid's half brother in, weird but great things would happen.

I'll let Khyzeria pick, since's he's the head of this RP after all :p

I have nightmares about Grawp. Besides, if the brute can do that to a tree, what can he do to Times Square?

Have we picked a town yet? It would make preparations a bit easier if I know where we are.

OOC: This RP will be in New York. Also, I am creating the thread now, and I would like you two to post your character's bios (if you did already, then do it again). Thank you.

Syl,I'd pick San Diego could you imagine Voldemort on the Naval Station, he'd create all sort's of trouble.

Good idea: blame the creator! It makes decisions a bit easier. Na, I'm just messing with you. It's all in good fun! But if it matters at all, I vote for either New York or Chicago or maybe even San Frascisco (can you imagine Voldemort on the Golden Gate Bridge? :P)

My face! MY WONDERFUL FACE!! YOU DRAINED IT'S COLOR!!

And here's my bio from about post 9 WAY back when. But with the new info, I modified it.

Joseph Ieka
Age:15
Height:5'6
Biography: He is one of the students that bought the machine project. Although dwarfed by the football stars, he can stand his own. Joseph usually will fight and fight hard if someone tries to force him to see their way. He prefers words to fighting, but isn't always above using his fists, or a welding iron if he happens to be working on a new project.

Re-read your post about hte naval station. Can you imagine Voldemort with ICBMs, naval fleets, and a good chunk of the US Military under his control?

I just thought the same thought you did about that, I am amazed I didn't think of it before!

Woah, now you guys are just confusing me. You talking about the book 5 thing or the Naval Base thing?
Calizorinstan
08-06-2007, 22:20
My response to you was about the Naval Base, but the thread is about the Book 5 characters.

I don't know, but you guys seem to be closer to the main server than I am. I'm WAY behind and my posts make no sense. How does everyone feel about using an IM client like MSN messenger, Yahoo Messenger, or AIM? It's instant, we can have a 3 way chat, and we won't get as lost.
