## Biography

### Background

The act of using a Time Machine is ultimately a violation of the laws of the universe. The Lord of Time gave Future Trunks a stern warning for his actions, even if they were for the protection of Earth's peace. Afterwards, in order to redeem his wrong actions, Future Trunks took up the job of Time Patrol to correct the distortion of history. After the Lord of Time forewarned Future Trunks of Mira's intentions to spread chaos throughout time and space, Future Trunks travels to Toki Toki City to act as the Lord of Time's assistant and main aid.

Functioning as something of a military force, the Time Patrol is funded by Xeno Trunks' inheritance as heir of Capsule Corp and officially are registered under the cover of acting as a private mercenary force for Capsule Corp. In order to deter any suspicion toward their activities, this cover story is maintained to prevent potential theft of the Time Travel technology used by members of the Time Patrol for their duties.

While their cover story as a private mercenary company under the employ of Capsule Corp is a ruse, the Time Patrol is indeed an actively militant organization with the main goal of policing Time Travel and ensuring it is not used carelessly to cause harm.

## Conduct

The Time Patrol maintains a strict policy toward maintaining the Timeline as it originally unfolded, seeking to prevent paradoxical anomalies brought about by altering history. On several occasions, the Time Patrol will even act against individuals that might be deemed heroic or good in order to maintain history as intended. There are some rare exceptions where orders will be given to allow changes made for some timelines to change for the better if approval is granted.

Typically acting in neutrality, Time Patrol Agents will sometimes be forced to make decisions that do not necessarily coincide with their own personal morality. As a result, many Time Patrol Agents retire early in order to pursue personal goals. Despite this, the Time Patrol often leans toward acting on the side of good, going in some rare extreme cases to directly contradict their stringent policies to maintain Time as it originally unfolded.

In some rare extreme cases, the Time Patrol will function as a direct military against organizations who frequently conduct harm toward others through time travel and attempt to not only manipulate history but cause potentially great harm to the present. In these rare cases, the Time Patrol will act less as a policing organization and act openly in the present to combat these modern day threats.

### Missions

Time Patrol Agents refer to their assignments as "*Parallel Quests*" and take these missions very seriously. Standard assignments are appointed by request at the job board which is managed by Capsule Corp worker-bots. Higher rank missions are given directly to more elite Time Patrollers, referred to as "Ace Patrollers," within the Time Nest by the Supreme Kai of Time and Trunks themselves.

Higher rank missions given to Ace Patrollers allow for more flexibility in their approach and occasionally result in the aforementioned extremely rare cases of Supreme Kai of Time allowing changes to be made to history for the better based on a Patroller's report and judgement.

## History

The Time Patrol was formed at some extremely early but undetermined point in history when Chronoa formed an alliance with a powerful Galactic Patrolman named Sealas. The two worked together in harmony until Chronoa's firm belief in maintaining history as is intended conflicted with Sealas' strong sense of justice and belief that evil must be actively combatted, resulting in his attempt to overthrow the Supreme Kai of Time and destroy the Time Scroll. For his betrayal, Chronoa imprisoned Seals within a crack in Time.

After this, Chronoa chose to temporarily disband the Time Patrol for an indeterminate period until she approached Trunks for his crimes of using a Time Machine to change history. Because of Trunks' good intentions, she allowed him an opportunity to atone for his mistakes by working for her as her aide. The two together reformed the Time Patrol and began recruiting warriors with like-minded goals and offered many who had committed similar mistakes unknowingly a chance to correct their mistakes, causing the Time Patrol to grow into a full force organization.

When it became more and more apparent that the frequent anomalies were not a series of accidents and were orchestrated, Chronoa and Trunks used the Dragon Balls to wish for the Eternal Dragon to bring them a warrior powerful enough to help them protect history, where Sparga was thus summoned by the Dragon and reluctantly joined the Time Patrol. Sparga's investigation with the Time Patrol led to the revelation of Towa and Mira's involvement and pursuit of their goals to disrupt the timeline for personal gain. A several year long campaign of battles between the Time Patrol and Towa and Mira's Dark Empire thus ensued, resulting in the return and subsequent defeat of Demigra, a clash with a witch coven who Towa enlisted to aid her, and the Dark Empire's creation of the Qliphoth which threatened all of reality before it was destroyed.

Following the universe's recreation after the Qliphoth Crisis, the Time Patrol successfully imprisoned Towa and prevented her from recreating Mira, putting an end to their war and began refocusing their efforts to the maintenance and protection of History.
