Two lonely people - soulmates - from alternate timelines fall in love by way of mirrors. At first they are only able to see one another. (Or just one can see the other.) In time they learn to speak to one another. Finally they are able to cross over. Noone else can see anything in the mirror save for the natural reflections. Neither can they hear the other side of conversations.
I have defaulted this RP to be set in 2028 - a little into the future. My character was born in 2000. But I can adjust this a little. Can’t do too much as if too young his location and situation would alter dramatically. And he may die in the near future.
Note: The mirror DOES need to be big enough to actually get through to cross over.
Amerika - June 2028 Amerika? Do you mean Zapadnaya Amerika or Ost Amerika? (West or East) Such a simple question. So complicated the history. But then this Earth is not the one where the Allies won World War II.
Noone has ever heard of Albert Einstein, Mitner, Hanh, Frisch. Nuclear fission was never a developed science - neither as a power source nor bomb.
Japan did not bomb Pearl Harbor. Russia did not invade Poland. Stalin’s army was stronger than in our world. World War II did not end in 1945. Rather it continued on until Russia, Germany and Japan signed an armistice in 1960. By this time the political boundaries of the world had changed dramatically.
Germany controlled most of Europe and Africa, as well as the Eastern part of North America (to the Rockies and parts of Canada (Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland.
Russia pushed west to take Lithuania, Belorus, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria. They took the NW third of China straight down to India, the Middle East (including Turkey) all the way to the Suez.
Japan took the rest of China stopping at India, the Pacific including Australia. They also took the southern half of Mexico and the rest of Central America right down to Panama, assuming control over the canal.
Mongolia, Nepal, and Switzerland remain Neutral and were never invaded. South America was left alone.
The US was divided at the -104th longitudinal line. Along the north the 49th parallel was used to separate Germany and Russia’s claim to Canada between the -104th and -95th longitudinal lines. Thus ended World War II. The world continued on in a state of near perpetual Cold War, an uneasy peace. That is they did until 1983.
World War III lasted for 12 years leaving the economies of the world bankrupt and in a Depression from 1995 to 2010. Each side blames the others, but they have gone back the Cold War yet again. For 18 years the world has been climbing out of their sluggish economies and trying to get ahead of one another.
Technology has advanced much slower, more similar to the late 90’s despite the fact, some 30 years behind. There is no internet. People still use pagers and phone booths. Nuclear weapons have never been developed.
History is being rewritten every day by way of diplomatic agreement. Hollywood died long ago. Its movies are now contraband.
My Character3.bp.blogspot.com/_rsdqufw36s8/TUcs85…Dr Duncan Moran is one of the most gifted minds in the Soviet Union. Born in West Amerika in 2000, raised an orphan in education camps. His heritage has earned him the contempt of his instructors. But he is a gifted applied physicist and chemist. Despite his heritage he is now assigned to the most sensitive projects. He is not unlike a modern DaVinci.
However, his work has begun to slow to a crawl. He is irritable, some might say even rebellious. Some of the Politburo feel he should be sent to a re-education camp. Others feel this would slow his work further or even destroy his creativity. But something must be done before he is compromised. As it is, he is a prime target for defection.
He is currently working in a in a military camp, Roswell, NM.
Your CharacterA beautiful but very lonely woman. Perhaps a physicist like my character, or maybe someone very creative (artist, writer, musician, etc). For the sake of survivability she should not be non caucasian as she would stand out like a sore thumb in my character’s world. If asian she would be treated like a spy. Hispanic is almost as bad as Japan controls Mexico.
She comes from our timeline - a setting almost unfathomable to my character. Technologically her world is far more advanced. People enjoy and take for granted freedoms he has never known.
I am not dead set on this timeline. But whatever you use should be very realistic. But you might want a world you wish to escape just as badly. Or yours might be a utopia.
