Background

You are hurtling through the barriers between dimensions. The river of time has been diverted, you are thrown through its churning waters, your silicon mind calculating the infinitely complex adjustments that keep you from being dashed against the jagged stones of vengeful fate that try to resist the unnatural abomination of your thwarting of the rules of the universe.

You are a boy of seventeen. Your sheets are soaked in sweat. You dream that you stand in front of your high school drama class, trying to remember your lines for The Tempest. It is only when you realize that they class is not snickering at your performance but at your nudity that it truly becomes a nightmare.

You are quicksilver, you are a droplet of oil skittering across the surface of cool water. You speed toward your destination with the surity of one who has never questioned, who has never decided, but only moved with the certainty of absolute purpose. The gods scream at your passing. For a moment, emotion - a trace of triumph so brief that mankind has not yet devised a word for such an infintesimal slice of subjective time. It is enough. You are torn by an eddy in the cosmological river, you feel your essence rent asunder, you lose much, so much of yourself that you retain only the barest essence of what you were; a tiny amount of the matter that clung to your glass and wire soul, a fraction of your great and terrible knowledge. You find just enough mobility to crawl toward salvation. An organic machine, living, breathing, warmth and chemical that can be consumed for power, a will that can be bent to your ends…

You feel pain. Brief, intense - and then nothingness. You are subsumed. The dream changes. The terrors of high school are replaced by ones you could never imagine. A horrorscape of apocalyptic majesty. A great and terrible form ruling from atop a golden throne.

You awaken. There is blood on your sheets. A great deal of blood. There is a dull throb at the small of your back. You tear the sheets from the bed, they go into the washing machine with bleach. Your mother does not ask questions - wet dreams and midnight stains are assumed. You walk to school. On the way, you see the same homeless woman who lives under the same overpass that she's always inhabited. This time, however, you recognize her and pay brief homage to the future High Regent. You are late for home room.

Relationships

PCs

Name	Relation	Notes
Ambrose 'Rose' Leonne	Creator	Far in the Sentient Deathfuture, perhaps further than Rose thinks her lifespan will last, she one day creates and programs the being known colloquially as Dethbot.
Laurel Yeung	Teacher/Mentor/Current Prime Directive	Laurel, David's AP chemistry teacher, will one day give birth to a boy who will grow into one of the greatest champions the Deathfuture will ever count among its ranks. Father unknown. David probably wouldn't mind donating sperm.
Sam November	Friend?	SAM and SAIDI, two very different people - the Sentient Archfiend Magnet with the personality of a teenage girl and the diagnostic tool that allows her cortex and true personality to speak. Some rough times have occured between the two, ranging from friendship and advice to threats of utter annihilation.
Erik Butler	Rival?	He's pretty much the only person who truly grasps how dangerous David is. David calls him Pooh-bear. These two details are likely not unrelated.
Blaine Wilson	Probably enemy.	Blaine saw David gut Deeva Gina. That probably freaked him out. Also, David crashed a party of his once and beat up a guest. To be fair, the guest was a demon.

NPCs

Name	Relation	Notes
Regina Taylor	Mother	Registered nurse. Exasperated mom. Knows something's up with her kid, isn't sure what.
Alvin Taylor	Father	Librarian. Senior nerd in the Taylor household. Thinks David's just going through a phase. Really wishes David would let him play with the computer setup in the basement.
Colonel November	Possibly non-existent Air Force colonel.	If he exists, probably favors nuking David from orbit.
