FRIDAY MEMERY - 1920s!

Man, the sounds. The smells. The music. The booze. The crime. The Depression. The Prohibition.

Yessir, the Roaring Twenties were a hell of a time. Your characters get to experience it as well! Everyone is now living in the 1920s, in a bustling metropolis, with no real influence from some strange meatship. Their former lives now reflect their new ones.

A character that was a security officer on board might find themselves as a detective on the police force. Someone who used to be a superhero, punching their problems away, might find themselves as some sort of cop, sports star, boxing champ, or even just a kneebreaker on the streets. Someone who used to sing might be a sensation, or just another nightengale crooning in the smokey speakeasies, as people kick back and enjoy their illegal alcohol. A scientist might be a mad chemist, or even something from the pulps. Who knows?

All that's for sure is that they're here now, living the life they can. Will they run into one another? Will they live their lives apart?

That's for you to decide.

Have fun.

Tenaya was a spy for the Germans in WWI but defected to the US with help from her American brother, Dillon, and has since been pardoned. Along with her brother and his girlfriend, Summer (the flapper daughter of a business tycoon in the city due to lose all his money in the Great Depression, and who had also helped in the war effort), she travels around in his beloved car.

Devlin's father was in prison, with his mother either dead or deemed unsuitable to raise a child have not worked that out in fanon, so he was sent on an orphan train (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Train) to the West. Not agreeing with that idea, he escaped to the city, where he worked as a newsboy and befriended the son of Chief of Police, Ben Tennyson. When Devlin's father escaped prison and came to the city, Devlin first went to try to reunite with him but discovered his father really didn't want him, so he helped Chief Tennyson arrest him, which endeared the Chief to the boy. Seeing that his son really was good friends with the paperboy and owing him his life, he managed to adopt him.
