Dirk Strider, aka Timaeus
15 year old vigilante who grew up in the far future, alone except for his robotic creations, a tiny horse, and a puppet. His timeline was the victim of an alien invasion that wiped out most of humanity, but aside from that, Dirk doesn't know much about what happened. He eventually built a time machine to send himself back to the 21st century, because being the only person (you know of) alive on Earth really sucks.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: He's a small-time vigilante who focuses on small crime, so he's not exactly famous, but you may have heard of Timaeus in that context. He's also recently started attending a local high school, where he's gained a reputation as that weird kid who's always getting in trouble for stuff like arguing with teachers, climbing onto rooftops, and setting fireworks off on school grounds. He roams the internet under the alias timaeusTestified. Online, he posts music he mixed himself, and participates in all sorts of discussions on pop culture and politics. He's also involved in a few fandoms, his contributions to which are in the form of either deeply analytical meta posts that sometimes get (pretentiously) academic, or bizarre porn.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You've run into him during superhero time, or you attend his high school. If you're friendly enough to talk to him (and he's not busy being a superhero) he'll probably be willing to hang out with you, provided he doesn't scare you away, especially if you share any of the interests mentioned on his wiki page.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: He's eventually going to go to Houston to look for his "brother", a (he believes) distant ancestor of his who was alive in this time. This is in part to find out what he knows about the alien takeover that happened in Dirk's timeline and how to stop it. I'm also very interested in having AR, an AI Dirk built based on his own mind, interact with other AIs/robots, and also anyone with an interest in computers, hacking, and/or programming.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing I can think of at the moment. You're free to have your character try and initiate some sort of romantic relationship but Dirk will almost certainly reject it. Rivalries and friendships are welcome. Ask me before there are any physical fights or things like torture or mind control (I'll probably say yes but I like to be prepared).
ANYTHING ELSE: His AI-brain-clone gets up to all sorts of mischief, and has probably crossed paths with other AIs and hackers. His robot Sawtooth wanders around the world where he pleases, and challenges people to rap battles, so if your character is a rapper they might have had a showdown or two ;)
