THE TIME TRAPPER AND ITS CHALLENGES

[letsgolegion]

THE TIME TRAPPER THE TIME TRAPPER The Time Trapper is mysterious being that has plagued the Legionnaires long before the PCs arrived on the scene. Sometimes a malignant evil, sometimes a provocateur that has challenged them to become strong enough to face threats to all of time and space, the Time Trapper's motives are often mysterious. The reason for the Time Trapper's ambiguous nature is that it's not a single being with one solid identity -- it's actually a sentient timeline, one that shifts and changes. Because it only exists as a potential being, it's possible for it to have any identity. The Time Trapper is weakened by being unmasked, as this makes it have to settle into a single, solid individual. Many people have been revealed to be under its mask in the past -- including some Legionnaires and their allies. Anyone that has been exposed to travel to new timelines has the potential to become the Time Trapper, and anytime the Time Trapper's identity has been revealed as specific person, it has simply shifted and changed to become someone new after. Right now, the Time Trapper's current identity is unknown, and for now that means its true motives are also unknown. Because the Time Trapper thrives on the slow entropic decay of the universe, something that would stop if Chronoblivion were to destroy existence, it may simply be challenging the Legionnaires and helping them out of a selfish desire to still exist and see all of time gradually decay. Or perhaps a less selfish individual might be under the mask, trying to make it so the Legion has a fighting chance because it's the right thing to do. Whether The Time Trapper is incapable of bringing back the Lost Legionnaires that disappeared over a year before the game, or simply refusing to, is unknown. As it stands, the Time Trapper has admitted to being the one behind bringing the PCs to the game universe, and giving them powers or changing their powers by exposing them to a magical artifact called The Hero Dial, hoping to shape them into an ideal team to save all of existence. It has also confessed to bringing in interdimensional threats from the rift that the characters come to the universe through, and admitted to tossing the new Legionnaires into scenarios in alternate timelines and artificial pocket dimensions. The Time Trapper's aim is to rebuild the Legion and challenge it so that it's strong enough to face Chronoblivion and save all of time and space -- and it seems to not care how dangerous these challenges are to the Legionnaires and the innocents of the UP. RIFT THREATS Rift threats are threats that come through the rift in time and space on the planet Phelolu, where the PCs first appear in game. Some of these threats, like individual supervillains, escape through to the Legion's universe on their own, but many of the larger and more dangerous ones are brought through by the Time Trapper itself, meant to challenge the Legion to become stronger. These threats can range from individual evil people, to massive death weapons, to cosmic horrors. When individual supervillains fall through, since they're rarely brought by the Time Trapper, they are often teleported away by other unsavory parties, recruited by other evil forces to wreak havoc on the United Planets. ALTERNATE TIMELINE SCENARIOS The Time Trapper is the being responsible for tossing Legionnaires into alternate timeline scenarios in the game's test drive memes. These memes are considered part of the game's continuity, and the Time Trapper uses them to test the Legionnaires and challenge them to become more adaptable heroes -- often at the risk of their lives.
