Editing Time Travel (section)

=Time travelers=
Time travelers are a diverse lot, and can usually be divided into one of several informal archetypes:
* The Victim; somebody who was pulled through time against their will and really, ''really'' wants to go home.
* The Immigrant; typically similar to a Victim, but decides they like their new temporal residence much better. The "gay person from the past who prefers the present for its superior gay rights" archetype is a popular sub-branch of this archetype amongst a certain audience.
* The Tourist; somebody who travels across time for the sheer pleasure of seeing incredible things, whether it's the wonders of the future or the most notable events of the past.
* The Academic; a history student who wants to answer the great questions and solve the famous mysteries by traveling back in person to see how it happened.
* The Nomad; somebody who simply doesn't feel at home in any one time zone and so travels throughout history looking for a place to belong.
* The Questor; somebody who travels through time to achieve some epic goal.
* The Impossible Thief; a time traveler who attempts to steal treasures and relics from what they consider the past.
* The Eternal Conqueror; a would-be empire builder who seeks to exploit the past, the future, or both in order to set themselves up as a powerful ruler.
* The Time Police; a person who attempts to fix time rifts and stop people from exploiting time travel for profit, often by claiming that such actions could lead to the destruction of reality.
