Background: As one-half of a rarely-used cliché goes, any person will be at a definite disadvantage when thrust into an environment from a time that has not yet occurred. He, she, it, whatever, will be unaccustomed to the languages spoken, the manners displayed, the tricks used, and, in this particular case, the weapons employed. As the second half of this cliché, a man from the future will have a definite advantage when thrust into an environment of a time already passed. If the necessary studies are conducted, this person can learn the languages, manners, tricks, and weaponry; everything down to the thoughts of an elderly man who was sideswiped by a semi, lived to tell about it, and indeed told about it. In this manner, would a man, a time traveler from the past have a disadvantage against one from the future, when placed inside of the same timeframe? Most likely. Let’s say these men want to make a business. One will be able to learn the actions, or at least the very first actions, taken by the one from the past. However, one will have the advantage of not altering anything too important pertaining to himself, the other will not. Let’s say these men are assassins, and are set against each other. Who will have more of an advantage? Perhaps the one from times that have not yet to be will have a plan formed to strike down his opponent. But the man from the past has so many targets. He only needs to eliminate one to wipe the one from the future out completely. The doctor who pioneered a revolutionary technique, the only one that dealt with a certain birth defect. The high-school student who slept with the objective’s great-great-grandmother, whom without the great-grandmother, the grandmother, and the mother would never be able to come into the world. Or perhaps just something simple, like eliminating the father while toddling though a shopping mall, barely at the age of three. This is where the man from the past has the advantage; he does not have to kill his target directly to completely wipe him away from the timestream. Of course, in this case, we stumble upon the paradox, in which there would never be a need to eliminate the mark in the first place, but, since this is not the exact matter we’re dealing with, we shall not address it. Now, let’s say you take an assassin, long dead in the present, and hand him a device with which he is allowed to traverse Time. If he is foolish, he will go to the past after obtaining certain bits of knowledge, and run his business there, very possibly endangering his very existence. If he is creative, he will go to the future, a place where he cannot possibly be affected by any lives he takes, and make a living there. And, if he is especially noteworthy, he will check and double-check with the potential future, to make sure his target has been appropriately eliminated. But, we shall digress, if only a little...

Character Personality
He calls himself Mr. Awth nowadays. The fact that he is an assassin should tell you enough about him, but, here, it shant suffice. A true professional through and through, he wears formal clothing at all occasions. After all, he will never have a need to bloody his hands with his work. With a grin that stretches from ear to ear, he pleasures at the fact that no one will know what has hit them, they won’t know why it was done, they will never know that it is him, and that, even if they do, they won’t live long enough to warn others. We do not know how he obtained the ability to journey in time. Some man from decades ago was merely never heard from again. He is a perfectionist. He is an assassin. He is, simply put, The Accident Waiting To Happen.

Powers and Abilities

Explosives

  • Power: Concussive Attack
  • Level: Superior
  • Kit Power Link: Mentalist
  • Advantage: Area Effect This attack causes damage in a large, circular area.
  • Advantage: Seeker Ranged attack hunts target.
  • Advantage: Ranged and Melee Attack! Attack is equally effective at range and up close.
  • Advantage: Multi Attack Attack can hit multiple times during one strike.
This is his weapon of choice. Whether it be C4, concussive grenades, dynamite, landmines, or even cherry bombs, he has mastered creating and/or finding the proper explosives for a job, and placing them in just the right places for the desired effect. But, he usually makes well and sure that the explosives never touch his targets, for reasons that shall be explained to you in a few moments. Guns are too sloppy. Melee weaponry is too personal. Explosives are the trick of his trade, with the ability to be planted and detonated without ever seeing his mark die.


Premeditated Planning

Now, we have an fairly intelligent man, with no worries about temporal repercussions should he kill the wrong person, the ability to cross time like it was a sidewalk, and money to earn upon a target’s demise. Would he go back to the past to kill him off as a child? No, too obvious, and there are very serious repercussions there. Why go to eliminate a target before he becomes one? Mr. Awth has found a very simple way around this. Kill them in the present. But, that’s where the beauty of time travel takes effect. With explosives, it is very hard to kill a single target in a crowded area. Once again, our clever assassin has bypassed this matter. Why blow up a person when you can destroy their setting? Place a few explosives on certain walls of a cave, and watch as a pre-planned rockslide crushes a single spelunker. Hide two explosives in the wall of a building, an apartment or mall let’s say, and watch in delight as a section of the northern wall falls and crushes the single customer underneath. Trace the path of a mark walking through the desert, go back a few moments in the past, and plant some landmines before he ever sets foot. Do you think that even a silly steel cage will limit Mr. Awth? Not so. Rig a few bars on the inside, time them just right, and watch as the top falls right on his target. His first attempts are rarely ever flawless, though. So, he very simply goes back, replants the explosives after his first self plants them, and tries again until the only casualties are the ones he intended. And no one ever suspects.


Demolition Experience

Investigate the building the objective is occupying. Examine structural integrities, which floors or ceilings would fall if a certain support were to be eliminated. A certain manner in which scaffolding would fall. Perhaps a few flaws in the architecture of the building could be put to use? In any case, a plan is sharpened to perfection when there are minimal casualties. There’s always minimal casualties. People say it was an explosion, perhaps volatile leftover materials or wastes, terrorists or Marauders or maybe a leaky gas pipe. It always looks like it was not planned, like it didn’t happen on purpose, like he, or anyone else for that matter, had nothing to do with it. No one ever learns that it was him very simply because he plans it well enough so that it looks like an accident, and it looks to be mere coincidence that someone died...


Undetectable Movement

It takes him mere seconds to carry out a plan once it’s been devised. Stop the flow of time, plant the explosives, move away, unfreeze time, and activate the timer from remote. It is that simple; in and out, with no security cameras, watchdog guards, or normal civilians ever seeing where he is, what he is doing, or what he plans to destroy. Only after the smoke clears do they see what damage has been done, and see which bodies have been crushed under scaffolding, with him far away, always knowing that he’ll never hurt his own family tree, and grinning at a job well done.


Immunity: Detective

Do you honestly think you can learn anything about someone you don’t even realize, let alone know, is there? Investigating someone that is almost certifiably non-existent, or at least deceased for several decades, is a waste of time and energy, at best. He is not of the present nor is he of the present yet to come, and barely anybody cares about a lowlife assassin who merely disappeared off the face of the planet some fifty years ago. One would think that he could be tracked down to the contracts he takes, but not even that is a viable means of learning who he is. All his contracts are paid with most of the payments up front, with the contract stating that, even if the targets are to die ‘before assassination’, that he keeps what was given. Eventually, someone might make a connection, at least until they see that one thing in common with a bunch of ‘failed’ contracts on people who were wanted dead more than they were alive...
