(For Russel's July 2011 Exalted Game)
Jory was the third son in the line. For four generations, each controlling lord had had four children. Their blood line was always powerful but not in the top tier of house Tepet. They created a formula that worked fairly well. The first was to rule, the second became the master of secrets, the third worked for the Empire and the fourth learned the sciences. But Jory did not satisfy his father's expectations for military stratagem so he decided that sending him to work in the Imperial bureaucracy would work better. The diviners said he was likely to exalt in Water, despite the family's propensity for Air, from his mother's bloodline, but since he never exalted, his father quietly made arrangements for him to become a monk upon graduation instead since he proved fairly adept at martial arts.
He exalted the day his brother (the second) died, he exalted as air, not water. Jory's father took this as a sign from Heaven, and had Jory enrolled in the Heptagram, academy for sorcerer's only four months before he was supposed to graduate. But he proved an excellent student at sorcery, and was able to use these skills plus the contact network his brother had established to be an excellent master of secrets. As a sorcerer he was tolerated. His father had more tolerance for him than others in the house primarily because he was still able to perform many useful roles for the house.
Five years ago, his older brother and father died in the day of great tragedy. Jory would become the ruling lord instead. Jory didn't want the job, but he had no choice. In some ways, he has done well, but feels less than up to the task.

Pregen Characters for Time Cops on Shot July 2011
Pregen Characters
Professor Augustus Faustus – Discover of Time Travel in the year 2100. This is his fourth journey in time, and the one in which he finds out about time cops, and decides to set up the entire program. He could make just about anything out of some coconuts, duck tape and a radio.
Captain Luck Dodgers (Time Patrol) – A human from the 1930's who accidentally stowed away on board a time machine to the mid 25th century, who is surprisingly resilient to Paradox. He is sent on their most difficult assignments. He is able to use high tech weaponry in ways that do not cause paradox.
Captain Bravia Panera – The most famous piratess you have never heard of, scourge of the Seven seas, she hijacked a time ship and began to rob ships out of time. Rumor has it she also stole the ORIGINAL USS Monitor before they rebuilt it for use against the Merimack. Naturally the Time Cops had no choice but to recruit her.
Ooooooooooogalamana – Five human being to achieve sentience. Arguably the most intelligent human ever to walk the earth. He determined that if he invented fire, the process would naturally continue, and plotted the time and place where a time agent would appear to observe the past. Thus he cleverly bypassed 30000 years of pointless waiting for things like toilet paper and rice pudding. He earned a fortune with his witty insights but grew bored and wanted a life of action. What better place than the Time Cops?
Dent Arthur – A hapless Englishman born in the late 1800's. It was discovered that he was originally supposed to be on the Titanic when it went down when a missing passenger manifest was found, but he proved surprisingly resilient at being on the actual titanic until the Time Cops actually recruited him. They've assured him that they're going to get him off once it starts to sink. Really. They mean it.
Cleopatra – Because really, if it involves Time Travel, Cleopatra's one of those people that show up sooner or later? She's actually the fourth clone daughter of the original Cleopatra but has all of her looks and charm and memories, plus some kick ass internal cybernetics to boot.
Molly Brown – Given that every time traveler who goes to the Titanic wants to talk to the Unsinkable Molly Brown, keeping Time Travel secret became essentially impossible, so the Time Cops finally just recruited her as a honey trap to retroactively catch and fine all of the people violating the time protocols to talk to her.
Jack the Ripper's Second Cousin – Wilfred Muckley – Jack the Ripper is well guarded. There are more time cops assigned to keeping an eye on him than there are on the Titanic. However a small cult following began to lurk around his extended family, and one of them, Wilfred Muckley finally caught on, and proved resilient to attempts to keeping in the dark. So naturally the Time Cops recruited him.
Dr. Oom – Time travel beyond the 31rst century is impossible. The Time Guardians deny the Time Patrol, Time Directive and Time Cops access beyond that point. Occasionally, they send a representative, and the mysterious Dr. Oom is one such being. No one knows his abilities or his agenda.
