This thread was created due to inspirations from the forum rollback that was quickly fixed on 2/19/2012. It is my first forum RPG (except for an RTD that had to be canceled), although I have done a couple RPGs with friends.
========
The world is constantly undergoing changes. Many of them, such as global warming and nuclear warheads crashing into countries, are easily noticeable. Others are..less so. The invention of a time traveling device in one year, known as the Time X, is the main cause of these changes to the world.. Only a few of them were created, and then the technology completely disappeared due to an edit to the past. Many other changes have occurred in the world as well, from small to large. Cat breeds disappearing, whole cities shrinking, and countless other edits to the world have occurred due to changes in the past. These changes are known as Plot Holes, and they are only noticed by someone who has seen the Time X device.
You and four others were part of one of the few groups to receive the Time X for testing. You all come from different backgrounds, drawn by a mysterious advertisement asking for help testing a new technology. You were given the device at the same time as five other groups, and decided to wait a short time before using it. Within minutes, the building around you flickered and completely disappeared, leaving only you, your group, and the Time X.
The device is equipped with a function to locate the time in which a Plot Hole is detected, and can warp directly to the location in which the past was edited. You must be near the Plot Hole in order to use this feature, however.
Go, fix the past, save the future. Or sneakily change it for your own good..you don't know what those other groups could be up to, though!

Edgar Lizardson, proud bard.
I'm calling portal, right now. It's portal. Does the voice sound like GLADOS?
It is possibly similar to portal, although I didn't think of it.
All evil robot voices sound like GLADoS
