Eric Siyisan

Name: Born, Mike Reynolds, but his experiences forced another name on him, Yi-erwusiyisan. (see below). After his escape from that situation, he settled on Eric Siyisan.

Species: Human

Age: 21

Abilities: He can alter his perception to see across time, and in so doing, walk to other timelines, other versions of history. He calls this shifting. Over the years, he’s picked up quite a bit of technology that can make travel to very distant timelines possible along with other things.

Genre: Scifi/Fantasy (apart from the shifting and alternative histories, the rest of in-world physics work just as in this world.)

Story Form: Series of novels.

Profile Pic: I don’t know how to add one here. I tried adding the one from thispersondoesn’texist but it just appeared as a banner at the top, cutting out all the important bits. If I can, I’ll add it to the comments, but you need to use your imagination a little because Eric’s bald and doesn’t have eyebrows.

Brief Bio: At the age of 14, he found this ability to visit other timelines when he saw someone else doing it. A little tuition from him, still hopeless at it without a prop he could follow as it returned to its own world when he let go of it, he stumbled onto a world that’d been devastated by a nuclear war in the Eighties and worse, ran into some soldiers who captured him. Enslaved, chained, tortured, his very name taken and another one, Yi-erwusiyisan, which is just the Chinese for 125413 and forced into hard labour, he grew up in that camp and when he finally figured out his ability well enough to escape seven months later, he returned there to rescue every other man in that camp. It took several missions, over a month in total before he was done. Almost one thousand men freed and transferred over to another timeline he’d encountered where they rebuilt a ruined village. Eric didn’t work alone. He called on a few friends to help and they all moved across with him after that final rescue. A year later, the village was fully rebuilt and every man in it had a home.

The slaves he freed have trained him up in several practical skills over the years including bricklaying and now, he’s an accomplished carpenter.

A lot's happened since then, but that's enough for now, back story-wise. More will come out during these challenges.

At this current point in time, though, he’s trapped in that world of high technology. In prison. And until a retrial can be scheduled, it’s a life sentence.

Eric sits at the table and regards you quizically. "OK, what've you got for me?"
