This post is my WIP Character. I will be saving it periodically to prevent loss of work. History/Bio done. [hider=John Smith] Please, post this to the OOC or PM it to me for review. Name: John Smith Age: 24 Appearance: (Picture or description. Realistic art, anime, real pictures, I don’t care. If you choose to use a picture, make sure that you include height and weight.) Bio: 3200BC- 3100BC: The earliest memory "John" has, is waking up in another man's home, with that man claiming to have saved his life. In order to repay him, John helped out in his smithy (with copper mostly) until one day he accidentally mixed the copper with something else, and overheated it. However the material that came out was far stronger then the copper he was used to. Over the next couple of weeks, the smithy went from smelting and forging a moderate amount of copper, to experimenting with what would soon be known in the region as bronze. It took years to to find what he had first stumbled upon that day, and to find the best combination of ores and heat to smelt and forge good bronze. However, over this time people had started whispering about him, for they had noticed something he had not. He didn't age, and even when almost the entire village got sick he was perfectly fine. Eventually, although he helped around the village, although mainly in the smithy, the people eventually chased him away. 3100BC- 1800BC: After being chased out of the village, he wondered from place to place, earning his way by giving out the secrets of bronze working. It wasn't long until he saw the improvement bronze had on peoples lives. So over the years he taught one people after another how to work bronze, or if/when they already knew some other technology, in return for learning something that only they know; or if nothing like that was available, for coin and valuables. Over these millennia he picked up a large verity of skills and gained and lost riches that would make anyone envious, at one point even becoming a secret advisor for the emperor of China. Although that didn't last long, it lasted long enough for him to learn the art of the politician. 1800BC- 1700AD: John spent these years much as he had the last couple of millennia, wondering around and trading technology, combat techniques, arts, and any other information he could gather, learning language after language and watching each one grow and change. Many of his other technological feats include steel, gunpowder, and the rifle. While travelling he has been in and out of numerous courts, led armies, gathered treasures, lost his treasures, and gathered more. 1700AD- 1900AD: John was one of the first to travel to the "New World". It was the first time since he could remember that he felt true despair for the natives were thousands of years behind much of the rest of the world and it would take generations for him to catch them up. He didn't get very long to try as the invasion of the new world began, and he soon gave up on this endeavour and hid himself away for a small time, coming back out to see the "colonies" rebelling against the homelands. He joined the side of the rebels, soon to be revolutionaries, and spent the next decade or two fighting. Afterwords, he helped build up the nation that would become the "United States of America", assisting in the creation of several technologies that helped pave the way. However, he has never stopped fighting for the suppressed, and joins any cause that is truly suppression of freedom. Slavery, Equal rights, and many other instances have often seen him as a background leader, giving them the tools and ideas necessary to win. 1900AD- 1945AD: John spent much of this time in the background working on technologies to assist the USA, and slowly building up his wealth. However when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, he went full out. Developing weapon after weapon to give America and her allies as much of an advantage as he could. The final weapon he ever developed was "Fat Man". This was the beginning of his current problems, since almost every project had a group picture at some point. 1945AD-1980AD: After the devastation of "Fat Man" John changed. Yes, many of his technologies has killed people, but no single weapon was responsible for so much death, so quickly. It took years before he could come to terms with it. He has even attempted to kill himself once or twice. However, even though he was staying out of the lime light, the government had already started to look for him. You see, all of the projects he had worked on over the years had pictures. With him in them. It didn't take long for the government to realize that he wasn't ageing in the photos. With the rise of the computer the problem just got worse. 1980AD- Present: John has spent much of this time living normally, or as normally as he could having to move every 10 years or so. Whenever some new scientific discovery was made, he learned everything about it he could, and was actually fairly certain of Vestis' existence long before it was discovered, but due to being hunted he wasn't able to do anything about it. However with ID security being what it is he has had a large multitude of problems hiding, but so far he has managed. Personality: (Self-explanatory.)
