Time Travel - OOC
I'm going to attempt to explain here Time Mastery as it appears to Janie.
First, this is NOT a Doctor Who muse. I made this character before I even knew of the show. She's not like Marty McFly, Bill and Ted or Arthur Dent, she is of my own creation.
She is descended from Orisha, one of whom discovered time travel. Yes, that is made up, with a real Orisha's name being used. Orishabi, as she is called, also knew the secret divination called Ifa. It showed her a terrible history if the time ability went unchecked, and she sought to squash it as much as possible.
Orishabi couldn't do that on her own, however, so she recruited a few that were born with the ability. She had children too, and included them among her recruits. They were all disposable and when one broke rules they would be executed. One of Orishabi's children (her favorite), went by the name Ella and got away with a little more than she should have. Ella ran away with another recruit. (which was forbidden. They were not allowed to leave, or have hetero relationships) She and that recruit, Robert Taylor, had one child.
That was Janie. She was considered 'wild' and spent a lot of her time trying to change things. At first, she had a machine, just as all of Orishabi's people had. It helped them control where they went and they learned never to travel without it. Janie discovered she didn't need it, but also, that she was unable to change things. She couldn't set wrongs right, or stop wars from happening. All she could do was things like observe, steal things that weren't significant, or cheat on bets or lottery. The one time she did change time, it ended up splintering her into AUs, which was unknown for her people. Every other attempt has her fail at whatever she's trying to change.
Over time, she's learned to mold her abilities into bending space, stopping and slowing down time, and isolating the ability on things as small as an atom. Eventually she will learn to summon items and heal her own injuries. Something else to note, she is the last of her kind.
