extra information THE DISORDER AND RPING IT
Chrono-displacement disorder is genetic. You can't catch it through bodily fluids nor is it airborne. It has something to with a person's genetic make-up. If you are a CDP (chrono-displaced person), then having children might be tricky. The chromosomes of your partner are in the egg or sperm cell and the body of a normal human being will see those chromosomes as intruders. This triggers the immune system to destroy the sperm carrying the genetic code in the chromosomes of the other person. So... having a child with a CDP is very hard to do. You're extremely lucky to get one.
A CDP has no control over when they time-travel. It's usually triggered by stress. When a CDP travels, they hear a certain ringing sound in their ears which is a signal of either travelling elsewhere or travelling back to your present.
RPING time-travel can be tricky. Please know that a CDP won't be time-travelling everyday, every hour and every minute and that they'll show up at random places in the world. They will usually time-travel back to important and significant locations in their lives. (ie. the neighbourhood/house that they grew up in, frequent places they visited as a child, past residences, etc.) When a CDP travels, they can be gone for minutes or hours at a time. Being gone for months isn't as commong but it happens. When a CDP has an exceptionally close bond with another person, they might have the tendency to appear in that person's past and future as well. (ie, twins, close siblings, spouses).
A CDP will often stay in their present time for a few months before the time-travelling again. Maintaining stability is hard to achieve, however. Stress happens daily and a CDP really has to be determined to calm down or else they'll pop out of today and reappear sometime in the past. Another thing that helps is being connected with another person. If a CDP has a person that's emotionally and physically helping them to stay calm and in the present, then materializing out of the present will happen slightly less. That person could be a best friend, a beloved family member or a more intimate loved one. Most CDPs find it hard to be close to others because of the burden that their disorder comes with so the sure bet would to take control of stress or find activities that lessens stress.
Important: Most CDPs travel more to the past. Travelling to the future is very rare. How far back also varies. Say, Bob is a chrono. Bob could travel back to when he was five right now, then travel back to last year sometime later. When threading, please indicate if they are time-travelling, how old they are at that moment and what date they are travelling back to. Also, please notify the person you are threading with of the info and setting regarding the time of the thread. God knows... you might be expecting Bob that you knew today, not the one from ten years later.
Oh, an interesting tidbit! When CDPs time-travel, they usually reappear completely naked.
When a CDP disappears, it's only their body that vanishes, leaving the clothes they were wearing at the time to fall in a heap. They materialize elsewhere without any clothes and they will often have to steal or scavange around for clothing UNLESS, they appear with someone knowing they were coming and have had them leave clothes out. A convenient thing is that if a CDP is coming from a time later to a time before, they could contact their SELF from that time period to come and help them. THEY CAN CO-EXIST. Mhmm. A present self and perhaps a CDP's self from months later can co-exist and interact with each other. When threading something like this, you can control you're own character's present self and other self at the same time. This can get confusing so only do this if you really want to. XD
THE STOPWATCH
These people have been employed by the government. You won't really be able to tell them apart from regular people because most of them have to undercover so they're free to find Chronos. Being a known stopwatch will be hard for their job because the Chronos would know who to avoid. Of course, they have allies within the city's population that are only more than happy to report Chrono-sightings.
The way they work is that they capture the Chronos, put them in a lab and tamper with their genes. This results in one whacked up person that could the direct opposite of the person that initially entered the lab. The effects of the treatment will be different on everyone but the common thread is that they're not as good as they were before. There will be something different in their personality, may have lost a memory or ten, they may not their name or who their mother is. The stopwatch don't really give a crap of how different they come out as long as they don't time-travel anymore.
They're out to get not only the Chronos, by but the people who support them. If caught openly supporting them or if a tip reaches them of someone helping out a Chrono, they come right to you, capture you and put you behind bars... after they squeeze information out of you. In conclusion: they're pretty scary.
