Character Sheets

She married her former college advisor when she was 18 and he was 46. Then she went for her PHD in astrophysics from Harvard. When she was three years into her study, her marriage hit a rough patch. She discovered her husband became involved with another of his students. She had a series of flings. When rumors spread of her involvement in a threeway with two students in a class where she served as a teaching assistant (a 21 year old male and a 19 year old female), she lost her the job and her scholarship.

She and her husband reconciled, at least on the surface, though it became a loveless marriage. She wrote a book on wormholes and multiversal theory that became a best seller. This led to her getting small paying gigs hosting lectures, planetarium shows and finally cable science shows. When filing a tax return she noticed large sums of money she couldn't account for. That's when she discovered her husband had stolen some of her new found riches and given it to the Church of Histhology.

At that point she and Joseph separated. His lawyer friends who work for the Church have held the case up in court for some time. In the intervening time, Ilsalynn was sent on an assignment by her show to interview Andrew Weinstein. The two debated on several issues about her book. His own theories seemed to contradict her own findings. While the usually emotional distant Weinstein was at least somewhat smitten with a woman near his brilliance, the two were soon intellectual rivals. That lasted less several months until they independently re-examined their own work and found out that they were both slightly off. This led to a scientific collaboration.

Based on these discoveries, Traeger began artifact hunting artifacts from other realities trying to find pieces to her puzzle. She also began collecting knick knacks from other worlds with a fondness for history books. In many realities she met herself. Most of them were not very happy- some were even worse off than she was now. A version of herself who was dying told her to ˜If you find someone who treats you like an equal" don't be like me. Don't be afraid to be happy." She began dating Andrew Weinstein, though ironically enough at first she had trouble adapting to the age difference.

Amelia decided to become a hero. She was unaffiliated with The Explorers but when the team hunted her father, she interfered with their mission hoping to bring him to justice herself. Unfortunately- when the three began battle her father, innocents were caught in the crossfire. The team managed to capture her father, but Amelia was killed saving civilians. She was given a posthumous membership in The Explorers.

After Amelia's death, Josh was at a loss of what to do with his powers. He accepted assistance from Andrew Weinstein to help learn how to control his powers. With a little help from Angelica Weinstein, he learned he could do more than duplicate objects by also 'destroying' matter. (What he really is doing is balancing the energy/matter he 'creates' when making duplicates.) While still feeling a bit a lost in life, he didn't ask questions when Angelica wanted to take their friendship beyond the teacher/student role. He just went with it.

He often feels out of place on combat missions. The thought of 'destroying matter,' particularly organic matter, frightens him. He is in fact a pacifist. He has an expertise in relief missions and spurred by his need to help others, went to school to become a Registered Nurse. He serves as nurse during field surgery and provides emergency first aid on missions.

Josh tends to use wisecracks to hide his insecurity. He has many friendships. He particularly close to Angelica, Lucas and Juanita.
