Hey Guys! Being around some friends of mine who love history I have been wondering what it would be like to go back and change some of the crazy things that have happened in the past. This RP will really be my first attempt to truly be creative so I will appreciate all sorts of advice and concept ideas since it will be take place through out all time. I would some people to join in as some of the historical figures I come into contact with and since I will be portraying a hero that means I will need at least one villain!

Jimmy walked home today after school depressed. Today he had found out that he was not doing well in his history class. He had hated the subject since he was always forced to learn about other peoples mistakes which never seemed relevent. He knew that he had to go home and study about the trojan war. When he got home he headed straight for the basement. He often did his homework down there since his younger sister was afraid to go down there. She loved to try to make him play with her dolls or have a tea party. Sitting in the quiet basement lead Jimmy to easily be distracted by his surroundings. He loves to go through all the dust boxes piled down there since he always finds something exciting. Today he opened up this huge box and pulled out what seemed like a palm pilot. He turned it on and it said PLEASE ENTER IN HISTORICAL EVENT on the screen. He had no idea what this device was but since he had that test the next day he entered in TROJAN WAR. Suddenly he felt a strange tingle and before he could even blink he had been transported back into time to the city of Troy. He was so confused as he looked around the area he realized what had happened and quickely placed on a tunic that was conviently placed right by him. Luckily no one was around to see him pop in out of no where. He stepped outside of the room to see that there was a huge wooden horse ceeeping it way upp to the city gates. Since he knew exactly what that was he paniced. What was he to do? He climbed up a ladder and stood atop the citys boardering wall. He then thought if he could stop the war from happening then he would have no test tommorrow if he could find his way back to his own time. Then he saw a torch and grabbed it. He made his way to the archer that was already aiming its bow at the approching horse.
"Here, light the arrow on fire and burn that horse down to the ground, it is a trap!"
Amazingly it seemed that he was able to communicate to the trojan archer who also spoke in english.
"FOR TROY!!!"
The archer shouted and with a perfect shot the wooden horse had caught a flame. Then much screaming was heared as flamming bodies jumped out. Jimmy had noticed even one man had been struck in the heel with the arrow and collapsed to floor presumably dead. Then it dawned on him who the archer must have been.
"Excuse me sir, are you Paris of Troy?"

The archer looked at the boy suspiciously, What Trojan didn't know their own prince? He had been about to say something when he heard his name being shouted by someone behind him. Turning, he saw a young woman about his own age running along the battlements towards him. What was odd was that since he arrived in Troy that fateful she had never once smiled at him like she was doing now.
"Paris!" she cried upon reaching him, "Brother, you have saved us all." Tears of joy ran down her face as she embraced her brother. But her joy was cut short when she saw the boy behind him. She stiffened and pulled away from her brother.
"Cassandra, whats wrong?" Paris asked his sister bewildered at her sudden change in mood. She pointed at the boy behind Paris.
"You will bring ruin to the world. Change and corruption. Go forth to where you come from. Leave us and the world alone. You will regret it if you don't." Cassandra said accusingly. Paris frowned.
"Don't take it to heart." Paris told the boy, his earlier suspions gone. "She thinks she can see the future. Now what is the name of the hero that has saved Troy?"

"I don't think my name is important since I do not want to take credit away from Paris but I guess you can call me Alexander." Jimmy was afraid to give his real name since he did not want any more connections to the past. "I believe I must be heading out now." Jimmy slowly turned around and the ran away as fast as he could. He found himself in a tiny villa and pulled out the palm pilot and turned it on. The same message appeared and Jimmy sat there confused. He had no clue how he was supposed to get home.
Hours flew by and it finally hit him. He knew it would be a stretch but he was willing to take the risk. He entered into the palm pilot the day I found this and then all of a sudden he was home he looked ahead and he saw himself disapear with the palm pilot for the first time. All was going to be okay he figured.
The next day he went to class and started to take his test on Troy. He was so happy since he knew all the answers. He was really happy because there was a question for bonus points. What was the name of the guy who told Paris to destory the horse? As the day ended he went to go get his test results which he was excited to see was an A+. He then decided to go over to his friend house to show off his great score.

"Yeah, hold on," Ian muttered as he straggled towards the front door. He ran a hand through his black hair and pushed his glasses back against his face. His brown eyes were still half asleep, having just woken up.
"What time is it?" he muttered to himself, looking for a clock. He found one...and stared at the time. "Damnit," he muttered. "I slept through school again. Oh well, to hell with it."
After a minute of slow poking his way, he reached the door and opened it. "Jimmy? What's up, man?"

"Dude check out what grade I got on the test!" Jimmy was very excited as he spoke. "105% in your face. I don't even think if you put all of your test scores together that it would equal that much."
Jimmy made his way into Ian's house, went straight to his room and sat down after pushing aside some dirty laundry.
"Man you missed such an interesting day. I totally pissed off Miss Smarty Pants because she always had the highest score but today it was all about me. Everyone thought that I had cheated but it was all thanks to this palm pilot."

Ian was impressed about the score. He was also glad to hear that the class nerd didn't win this time, but something seemed...off. "You didn't cheat on that test...but you're thanking a palm pilot? Sure you didn't use that to cheat?"

"Well in a way it was like cheating I guess, but this is no ordinary palm pilot. You see it is able to send you back to anywhere in the past all you have to do is turn it on. Then pick when you want to go and write it here." Jimmy pulled the palm pilot out and started to demonstrate. "All I did was put in the trojan war and I got sent back in time. That is how I knew so much since I lived it. It was amazing. I know lets go somewhere and I'll prove it. Lets go where we are supposed to study next. What did the teacher say we were going to study next?"

Ian didn't respond right away. he just stared at Jimmy with an odd look in his eye. "What are you, stoned?" He asked.

"No man, but you have the study guide line because I can't read your writting. It is right there in that folder but where should we go. If you want we can go where ever you want. It is up to you." Jimmy was getting fustrated since he had no clue where to go since he had just gotten back from Troy.

Melanie Greene grumbled as she walked home. Stupid Ian sleeping in. Stupid mother making her drop off his work. Why did she have to live next door to that guy anyway? And why couldn't someone else drop off his work?
Because you're the goody two shoes daughter of the dean and she's making you. The voice in her head reminded her.
Her brown eyes glared at the door in front of her. She wore her brown hair in a french braid and tapped her foot impatiently as she leaned on the doorbell.

The bell snapped Ian out of whatever he was thinking. "Hold on a second, man." He left Jimmy there and headed towards the door. "Hey there, Mel," he said with a smile when he opened the door.

"Hey" Melanie said rolling her eyes. The teenage girl wearing jeans and a lavendar peasent blouse thrust a notebook at Ian. "Mom told me to drop off your work." She said waspishly. Her mood wasn't on account of just having to make an extra stop, it was also that idoit Jimmy doing so well on their test today. She knew he had to be up to something, she just couldn't prove it yet. Plus Ian frustrated her to no end. He was smart. But he didn't try. That alone could annoy Melanie.
"And you have a make-up test to take." she told him bitterly. How could someone like Jimmy beat her score. He had to have been cheating. She would figure it out and prove that she still got the best grades in class.

Sasha skipped past Melanie and Ian, ginger hair swishing behind her in a thick plait.
"Hi Melanie," she said, in a sing-song voice, skipping past, "Hey loser," she said in the same sing-song voice to Ian, bouncing past him with her glasses falling down her nose, "Did you sleep through school again? Mom told me to get you up... But I forgot," she said, smiling sweetly. She paused at the bottom of the stairs and turned back to Ian.
"Hey... Is Jimmy here?" she said, eyes lighting up slightly. Four years and at least a foot shorter than Ian, Sasha's ginger hair was possibly the only thing that stopped her from becoming invisible.

"Well a lot of good you are then," Ian muttered sarcastically. "You want to come in?" he asked, turning his attention back to Melanie.
