I'm looking for about 3 players who enjoy the absurd.  I'm in
the middle, okay...not middle: way off center towards the beginning
of a PBM game here at EasternMichU.  It involves time travel, paradoxes
(none as of yet though...but never you fear...Moohahaha), the illuminati,
SubGenius, and a dastardly villian who plans on becoming ruler of all
the infinite time lines.  It'll be something like:  Dr. Who drops acid
and decides to change the course of history, or Xaphod Beeblebrox gets
religon and tries to convert the Krikkits.

The character, if you so choose to take this mission, may be of
any era,  past or future, you wish.  Shoot to create a character about
120 points with *around* 60max disads.  Basically, if you can convince
me that you can *roleplay* this character, and that he won't upset play
balance too much.  You can play him. :-)  Right now we have a Cowboy
from the 1900's, a corporate administrator from a cyberpunk/autoduel
world of a 2030 frame, a rival stage magician of Harry Houdini(circa 1932),
and Lemmy Kilmiester(sp?): the base player of Motorhead (present).
(with one person creating a laywer(present), and another making a
SpecialOps(present) character, and maybe a discordian from the Illuminatis
trilogy(whoknows))

Magic and Psionics are permitted but you *must* take an
extra-ordinaire background to explain it.  You can be an alien if you
want, however you'll have to give me alot of stats on the race.
Aliens would not need the EObackground for PSI...heh, but then they'd
have their own little difficulties dealing with preFTL human's prejudices.
(let alone FLT's...)

[	Secret societies are fine, and you may have other aims besides
stopping the villian....perhaps even aiding him...or trying to rule
yourself (with and or without) a secret society....   ]

Your job is making the character.  Mine is fitting it in.
Please send me a 'background' with his stats of what you'd like your
character to have.  (Background is in quotes because it could be
'future ground'...)  If you want I could mail you what I'm using
to stick character stats on.  (it's simple as heck, but it keeps
stuff in a semi-order that's better than nothing :-)

ps.  Make you character the way you want to role-play them.  The *most*
importatnt thing to me in this campaign is player reality.  The campaign
is cinematic and four colored, but I want you to play the way your character
would seriously behave, esp TechnoShock.  I would appreciate less modern
day characters.  (ideas?: A pirate,  army soldiers, samari, serfs...etc)
(note your imagination is your best bet on whether I'll like it :-)

Pps.  I'll be using the SubGenius as the major plot mover.  Eg. Xist
technology is at least one of the sources of TimeTravel.  "BoB" is Slack!!!
