| Harry grew up in the overcrowded city of San Francisco in a time when the barriers that were holding back magic had shattered. It was a world where the creatures of legend and fantasy lived next to man, where technology and magic flourished side by side. He was trained since his earliest years to be a company security guard, like his father before him. As the son of a corporate man he was given everything any child could want. His life was sure to be filled with ease, and then the big fall came. His father lost his position with the company and his mother left them. He was forced to grow up hard and fast. At the age of 18 he got a job as a company security guard and soon made his way up the rank to security chief. Harry always liked games, the more dangerous the better. He began toying with magic, and magic soon showed him the error of his ways. After his lesson in humility, he began to study magic and the supernatural. He soon learned to leave magic alone and maybe the magic would leave him alone too. In the year 2196 Harry was transferred to Mega Corporations, “The World Government” as head of security. The corporate head said that he had a fine reputation for one so young, and that they expected great things from him. The corporate bigwig wasn’t the only one keeping an eye on Harry. The corporate head’s daughter liked big, strong men and Harry was close enough. When the boss found out, Harry got lucky; he got out with his life. He took his pension out in damages. After five years as a freelance detective, he got a call to go to a very old house on the edge of the city, the house of the Master Mage of San Francisco. The magic man wanted to hire Harry to look for a book. The next thing Harry knew he was in the past, in the year 1991. Being a born survivor, he quickly learned the way of today’s world, and to make a living as a PI. Harry, you don’t know why or how, but you think if you can find the book, it’s your ticket home. You want to go home. You had a date with a very friendly wood nymph. |

| The lead into the game. The PI business has been slow for the last two weeks, and you think it’s a good time for a vacation as you look over your morning paper. You look up from your paper, into the greenest eyes you have ever seen. The tall red headed woman gives you an envelope, and with out a word, she back flips out of your office. You think she looked like your friendly wood nymph. |
