Based loosely off of the concept of world lines from the anime Steins;Gate (if you've never heard of it, you're good!). A group of time traveling physicists have to figure out how to stop a bad future from occurring by changing small things to switch world lines and stop an evil organization from gaining control over the future. They don't physically time travel, but they send their consciousness back into their previous selves. Just a quick note, even if your character dies and they time travel back in time to stop it, everyone retains memories of that instance. So your character would remember dying.
Setting: Set in 2018 New York City in a low-budget lab. All of the physicists already know each other unless you would prefer your character not to know everyone else. Only human characters, and since its NYC, be as diverse as possible! We need guys too, so don't all roleplay as girls. Age range is 18-26 (college to grad school age). You can also choose to play as a normal person who isn't a physicist, a warrior from the future (we need at least one, and no more than two), or anyone else you feel fits in the plot.
Rules: Keep the swearing PG-13, censoring sh*t, etc. Absolutely no real-life hate, homophobia, racism, etc. No powers. The time traveling warriors from the future could be great fighters/have slightly enhanced abilities, but no powers/supernatural abilities. Don't be afraid to kill your character!! People shouldn't kill your character without permission, but letting your character die is fun because we get to go back in time and figure out how to rescue you. Be creative! The possibilities, just like the world lines, are endless!
