## Appearance

Pretty much the same as I've ever looked, 'cept back to blonde (I hated always having my hair in my face), and I wear a lot more onesies now.

## Powers

Let's see... still got the whole "tough, strong, punch real good" thing. I can read people a lot more reliably now, but it takes all the fun out of meeting new people so I don't really use it much.

Got these sweet boots and gloves, so I can- well, not fly, exactly, but pretty much gravity is my bitch now. It rules. Also the gloves just help me hit things from further away, and that's always nice.

## Background

### Pre-Big Team

Was just minding my own business, hanging out with Chris, when three morons tried to break into our place. Said they were time travelers and that they needed Chris' help. After the little one (Lily) let me read her, I realized they were telling the truth: they came back from the future, an old version of Chris was their team leader or something, and they needed his help finding their way home.

Rad.

While two of them (Lily and Aman) went with Chris to look for this "Dr. Timeguy", or whatever they were called, the third one (Seth) told me that I'm a villain in the time they're from; a real piece of shit. He asked me what happened to me, as if I'd know, and asked me to be a better person than the one he knew. Knows. Will know? Whatever.

So, when a stranger from the future shows up and tells you you'll be an asshole later in life, that sticks with you. Or at least it did with me.

So, a couple weeks after the time trio came and went, I paid Timeface a visit and told them to send me to the future. It worked.

I met future me.

In jail.

### Big Team

Long story short: I came, I saw, I got out before it was too late. Made a bunch of friends along the way and that made it really hard to leave, so watch me learn from my mistakes.

### Post-Big Team

Tay and I went back to 1992, which was nice and awful and terrifying all at once, but we made it work. For a while.

Until it didn't anymore.

So we've been hopping around, first just through time, but then some space happened, too. And now we're back! And we can't leave!

Great.

## Relationships

### Family

**Tay**

I literally cannot imagine *not* being with her all the time.

**Mom & Dad**

Oh I guess my parents are probably still around too, huh? Wonder if I should say hi...

### People from the before times

**Seth**

Same pipsqueak who called me out for being an asshole like 30 years ago. Almost conjoined twins with Aman. Also in the band due to conjoined twin status. Still a goober.

**Aman**

If he's not still a goober, this will have become the shittiest timeline.

**Mel**

Pretty much the closest thing I ever had to a sister.

**Atlanta**

Bakes a lot of cupcakes. Also is one. Well, at least this version is.

**Seb**

Time guy, somehow an old man even though he's like the same age as me (time'll do that, I guess). Huh, we should compare notes. That could be fun.

**Ern**

I guess we probably should have talked more before now, turns out we've got a lot in common.

**Celerity**

Hey, the future has a new Celerity. Finally someone I fuckin' recognize... sort of.

**Boon**

Big doofus. I don't know if we were super close when we left, but at least they're not mad anymore.

**Whisper**

Tiny, scrappy, hopefully doing alright? I like her.

**Noodle**

I've never had either, so I can't tell if he's more of a little brother or a giant son. Whatever, he's still our boy.

**Epoch**

Time nerd, but the good kind.

**Ryan**

Another time nerd, also good, way to ditch the glasses kid.

### Back to Halcyon

**Shade**

She's got a bike, she's in the band, she kicks ass. What's not to like?

**Phalanx**

Dude's a himbo if I've ever seen one.

**Kurt**

Turns out they don't suck after all. Probably woulda been friends sooner if I didn't hate them so much at the start. Lesson learned.

**Sam**

Protect him from the internet.

**Cadenza**

Oh, you mean that chick that screamed at me? Yeah, talk to me about her when my ears stop bleeding.

**Fearless**

Pretty sure I heard faer bragging about some crimes. Do they know they're on the Big Team?

**Faust**

The kid from the coffee shop? Yeah, alright. Keeping an eye on her, tryna make sure she doesn't join this private army bullshit her... aunt (?) is building.

**A-Vis**

Pretty sure this kid's a cop.

**Astra**

Watch out for Tay around this one, but they're smart (thank god) and they got a cool cloud ship thing... I think we mighta been to their system one time? Check on that.
