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.

John Connor lives as a gun runner, and bootlegger. He's been on the run from the law for his entire life due to his mother also being a border smuggler. She raised him all along the border, and often amongst the revolutionaries of Mexico. Her reasons for this were warnings from his father that something would try to track them down, and hurt them, and that John had to be kept safe at all costs. Knowing no other life he joined her in this dangerous profession once he was old enough.

He's proven to be quite good at it to. While most of his trade takes place on the border with Mexico, he has traveled north to Canada for some of his bootlegging. He's currently in the metropolis looking to meet his latest buyer.
