"Hello Ladies, Gentlemen, and everything in between, and welcome to... TIMESLIDERS! The best game show in the year 2332! My name is Van Soto, and I'm here with my co-host, Scott Larson! I'll hand it off to Scott, and he'll tell you what we're all about!"

"Thanks Van. If you've just been brought to us, and have no idea what this is all about, then stay tuned for the greatest action you have ever seen! Timesliders is a game show like no other, where our contestants will try to murder each other throughout time and space! Don't worry, they don't actually die. So you can enjoy the action without your conscience getting in the way!"

"That's right Scott, I'm gonna hand it off to our eggheads who will explain how the whole thing runs, while we wait for our contestants!"

Timesliders is a classic fight club RTD, with the twist that during the 'show' the arena moves throughout space and time. Your goal, is to simply murder everyone else before the 'episode' ends. If you die, then you get revived in the observation area. A episode is 60 turns long, each of those representing a minuet. Every 10 turns, you move to a new location, remaining in the same exact stance and keeping everything you have on you. Obviously you may be going, "But Werty, I can kill everyone in 30 turns! This will be easy, and I'll finish your game halfway through!" Not so fast! Remember how I said you have to murder everyone else? Well, when you kill someone, they are added to your list. Whenever you die, everyone on that list is thrown back into the game. So you have to kill everyone, without dying. Not as easy as it seems. Can't manage that? If there is more than one person left at the end, Everyone left is thrown in a bonus sudden death for 10 turns, and whoever has the largest kill list at the end wins, with no revives in the sudden death. The roll system will be a d20 for combat, with you rolling against your opponent, and general actions will be a d6, going by the classic scale.

Due to time travel technology causing multiple time streams to join and condense into one(AKA wibbily wobbly time stuff) your character can be from any time period during human history, including the future. This does not mean you can be a super cyber assassin with a fusion cannon built in your arm. You are a regular human.

Name:(Make it pronounceable)
Gender:(M/F)
Backstory:(Put a little effort into this. It does not have to be super cereal)
Color:(Your color. Orange and Teal are not available sadly. Make it readable also.)
(This section is your attributes. Distribute 10 points among them. Every 3 points gets you a +1 in combat, every 5 in general actions.)
Strength:(HIT IT VERY HARD)

Dexterity:(Dodge getting hit very hard)
Intelligence:(Know exactly how hard that hit is)
Perception:(See the hit coming)
Charisma:(Convince someone to not hit you)
Skill:(You can chose something specific to get a +1 to. By specific, I mean saying Melee combat will not get accepted, but broadsword combat will, so try to narrow it down to one thing.)

"Now with that out of the way, let's get ready to meet our contestants!"

Name: William Wallace
Gender: M
Backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

William Wallace William Wallace  © Wallace led the Scottish rebellion against Edward I and inflicted a famous defeat on the English army at Stirling Bridge. He is remembered as a patriot and national hero.

William Wallace was born in the 1270s in Elderslie in Renfrewshire into a gentry family. Very little is known about his early years and there are significant periods of his life for which there are no reliable sources.

In 1296, Edward I of England had taken advantage of a succession crisis in Scotland and imposed himself as ruler with an English administration. Within months, Scottish unrest was widespread.

In May 1297, Wallace attacked the town of Lanark, killing the English sheriff and unrest quickly became full-blown rebellion. Men flocked to join Wallace and he began to drive the English out of Fife and Perthshire. In September 1297, Wallace defeated a much larger English force at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. This and subsequent military successes severely weakened the English hold on Scotland. Wallace then launched raids into England. In late 1297 or early 1298 he was knighted and appointed 'guardian of the kingdom' in the name of John Balliol, the deposed king of Scotland.

The shock of the defeat at Stirling rallied the English around Edward, who marched north with an army. Wallace's strategy was to avoid confrontation and gradually withdraw. He destroyed the countryside as he went, forcing Edward to march deeper and deeper into Scotland. In July 1298, the Scottish and English armies met near Falkirk, and the Scots were defeated. Wallace escaped and little is known of his movements, but at some stage he resigned the guardianship and was succeeded by Robert Bruce and John Comyn.

Wallace then went abroad, notably to France, to seek support for the Scottish cause. He returned to Scotland in 1303. In his absence Robert Bruce had accepted a truce with Edward I and, in 1304, John Comyn came to terms with the English as well. Wallace was excluded from these terms and the English king offered a large sum of money to anyone who killed or captured him. Wallace was seized in or near Glasgow in August 1305, and transported to London. He was charged and tried with treason, which he denied, saying he had never sworn allegiance to the English king. His execution was held on 23 August, where he was hung, drawn and quartered. His head was placed on London Bridge, and his limbs displayed in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling and Perth.

I'd suggest that "surviving like a boss" is different from normal "surviving," and should instead grant a hefty counter-attack if he rolls well on critical con rolls.
