TALAMUS
DESCRIPTION: Talamus was born in another world, training to be a alchemist from a young age he was fascinated with all the things he was learning from his master. Unfortunately, such things where not to be. Talamus was working with his master Ahrelion when the school was attacked by a dozen Shayakar and their corrupted minions. The magical assault that took place led to a series of explosions knocking Talamus out.
When Talamus awoke he was in a strange new place. There was strange looking middle aged human woman standing over him and talking in a language he did not understand. Her chatter had the tempo and tone of an insane person as she talked to a strange metal box in her hands. Looking down at himself he could see he was injured very badly. “Oh, well you are awake.” Talamus could see the magic coming from the strange looking box the woman was carrying. “Do you know what happened to you young man?”
Feeling tired, confused and in pain Talamus answered. “I don’t understand, where am I. How are humans here, there should not be any humans for many miles.”
“Oh, I am afraid you are a very long way from home. This is Lazlo son, and where ever you came from when I found you, you were falling from the sky. I almost couldn.t save you.” Going back to her tinkering the conversation went through the night as she explained what Rifts are and what had happened to him and as he explained about his own life. Talamus has tried several times to get home, but been unable to. Even when consulting a Shifter about it, the Shifter found he was unable to locate the world Talamus came from.
Living with the old woman Talamus soon began to serve under her as he had his masters at home, learning her name was Kelly Monroe. She hated the term master and preferred to be called a teacher, as she instructed him and taught him in all she knew he became fascinated with the sciences of this world. But soon his fascination grew to the point he wanted to learn more. Signing up to be a mechanic in the Lazlo defense force paid for the furtherance of his education and TW, obsession. Now after living half his life in this world, Talamus has heard of others from Shaintar on this world and he has travelled to meet them. Learning of their cause in the Tomorrow Legion Talamus thinks it an excellent idea and immediately asked to join them.
Talamus still cares deeply for “Grandma Kelly”, and knows how much he owes her for the knowledge she has given him and sacrifices she made to help him. He frequently travels to visit her when he has the opportunity both to catch up and to see that she is still doing well, and her business as a Techno-Wizard is doing well.

GIZMOS : Talamus’ research into temporal probability and quantum field theory was very successful.

• Talamus’ Evolutionary Manipulation Cube – With this device he is able to temporarily alter which version of a creature or person arrived at a given moment in time. By channeling 2 PPE into the machine he is able to increase or decrease any trait his target has (double on a raise) for 18 seconds. By overloading it and channeling 4 PPE into the machine he doubles the effect! (Boost/Lower Trait)
• Talamus’ Temporal Displacement Field Generating Belt – By altering the quantum state of the matter around himself Talamus is able to appear in multiple locations at once, making it very difficult for others to discern the correct Talamus to attack. By channeling 2 PPE into the machine per target he is able to make the target coexist in two locations at the same time making attacks -2 to hit him (-4 on a raise) for 18 seconds. By overloading it and channeling 4 PPE into the machine he doubles the effect! (Deflection)
• Talamus’ Mnemonic Imprint – Worn on the outside of your clothing this harness fits like a bandoleer. When activated it imprints on the wearer’s muscle memory and even mind perfect remembrance of warriors from the wearer’s past. While temporary as the mind naturally cannot hold such information for too long, the effects can be amazing. By channeling 4 PPE into the harness he is able to gain a single Combat Edge of Veteran or less ignoring all requirements other than Rank (even other edges). By overpowering the device and spending 8 PPE the wearer can gain any two Combat Edges of Legendary or less ignoring all requirements (even other edges). This knowledge and skill is hard to maintain and only lasts for 18 seconds before requiring an addition PPE per every 6 seconds. (Warrior’s Gift)
