Starting

So I started thinking about what this character should be; occupation, hobbies, personality. What time is she/he from?

Talking about time, can it be a time traveler? I like that idea. From which era will he/she travel from, and where to?
So we have a lot of interesting eras in our history (both national and international history):

The Middle Ages:

Era of the Vikings:

"Pirate Era"



Cowboys vs. Indians:

Japanese samurais or ninjas:

Or something more local: The Sami in northern Scandinavia.



Does she/he need to travel back in time? The future is also interesting. Will the world still be here after year 2012?

Should I include fantasy cratures and magic? Zombies, dragons and wizards?

Or should it be more “realistic”?
