marty Name: Marty McFly

AKA: Calvin Klein, Future Boy, Clint Eastwood

Birthdate: 1968

Occupation: Student

Hobbies: Playing guitar, skateboarding, cars

A history of Marty McFly

Marty was brought up the youngest in a family with two parents (George and Lorraine) and one brother (Dave) and one sister (Linda).
His ancestors orignally came from Ireland and settled in Hill Valley, California. Marty family is not the most well-off in the world, but that hasn't stopped Marty from trying to make something off himself.
Him and his band (The Pinheads) hope to be mega rock legends one day and Marty also didn't want to make the mistake of ending up like his father and mother did.
Until he met Doctor Brown and went back in time it looked that way.

Marty first came across when he went for a job cleaning out the Doc's backyard. Marty liked the job because he got paid a few dollars just to sweep up and Doc allowed him to bring Jennifer round and even drink beer. Marty was very protective of the Doc as others so him as a crankpot who would get Marty into trouble one day with his hairbrain schemes and inventions. However, they would all be wrong when Doc unvailed his time-machine to him.
And his life would never be the same again!

A history of Doctor Brown

His ancestors orignally came from Germany and dropped the name Von from their surname to appear less German. As a child, the Doc enjoyed nothing better than reading the works of Jules Verne and often dreamed of being one of the characters. He also enjoyed staring at the stars and even then like to dabble with science. He also has a love of dogs who he names after famous inventors.

Around Hill Valley, the locals see the Doc as a madman who they all stay away from, however 30 years after dreaming of the flux capicitor, he finally invented the time machine.
