various

Traveling also weakens him, and he requires more recovery time for longer distances of time traveled.

story involvement
AFFILIATION: Upsilon FIRST SCENE: tbd BACKGROUND: Born during the Roman conquest of Britain, Felix's entire tribe was killed when he was only fifteen. Stricken with grief his power kicked in unexpectedly for the first time shortly after the Romans attacked, and he was taken back to a day before. Confused at first, he quickly realized what had happened and assumed it was magic from the gods. Warning his tribe of the Romans, he was able to save them from slaughter.
But they betrayed him when they realized he had foretold the future. Thinking him cursed, he was left to fend for himself when the nomadic tribe moved on. His own father and brothers spat on him as they walked away. Unable to forgive such betrayal after he had saved their lives, he went back in time a day again and allowed them to be slaughtered this time, leaving before the Romans arrived.
Over the next few years of his life he spent time traveling through the decades, quickly discovering his powers were limited when he was stuck within times further in the past or future. Spending a few months with the dinosaurs was less than fun, and he vowed to be more careful after that. But he couldn't keep is own promise for long, and eventually traveled to 1900, wanting to see what the world was like after the turn of the century. Though he knew a bit about technology from watching it change through the ages, he was surprised to find a world running on steam engines. People had weapons now that fired with more accuracy than a bow and did more damage than a sword ever could. Fascinated--and trapped between 1900-1950 for a year, he learned all he could about the history and evolution of weapons.
Bored, he posed as a British soldier during WWII for two years, becoming a sniper despite his indifference towards guns. Gaining the rank of Specialist, and a reputation as a good shot, he eventually faded from the War entirely when he found he could move further past 2000.
He ended up accidentally stuck in 2009 where he met Alexa Johan. Though his initial arrive scared the living crap out of her, he eventually convinced her to help him adapt to the modern time (who knew fifty years could make that much difference in technology and weapons). She eventually introduced him to Upsilon, a team that both allowed him to use his sick obsession with weapons and kept him entertained despite his ADHD. He has bee with them ever since.

KISMET ONLY NOT REALLY: Alexa was present when he arrived in 2009--an accident since Felix had been aiming for 2000--but took pity on him after he explained that he wasn't going to hurt her and that he was probably stuck in this time. She introduced him to Upsilon, where he currently causes trouble on a daily basis.
STRETCHED PRETTY THIN: Felix bumped into Susan Nelthrope in NY in 2007. After landing in the middle of traffic near her apartment, she held set his strained elbow WITH HER OWN ARM AS A SLING. Genuinely freaked out about her ability--and freaking her out by his--this eventually led to a tense conversation of 'so you have a power too?' Not long after finding a real sling for his arm, Felix diseappered again without saying goodbye.
SANDS OF FUCKING TIME: Someone he has met somewhere in his time travels who he fell for and brought to a future time to save them from a horrible death. DETAILS ARE OBVIOUSLY VAGUE AND NEGOTIABLE. - OPEN
