history
Marty was born in 1968 in Hill Valley, California. He was the youngest of three children to George and Lorraine McFly. He had a brother Dave, sister Linda and girlfriend Jennifer Parker. His best friend was scientist Emmett Brown, whom Marty (and Jennifer) called "Doc" and referred to as "The Doc". Marty was somewhat embarrassed by his family and did not spend much time at home, preferring to hang out with Doc, Jennifer or the guys in his rock band, The Pinheads. The only thing Marty can really remember from his childhood was he accidentally set fire to the living room carpet when he was eight, which his parents were harsh on him about until going back to 1955 the first time around.
By 1985, Marty was 17 years old. On the morning of October 26, 1985, at the request of Doc, Marty met him at the Twin Pines Mall parking lot where Doc demonstrated his new invention - a time machine built from a DeLorean DMC-12. The demonstration was interrupted by the arrival of a group of angry Libyan terrorists. The Libyans had provided Doc with the plutonium to build a nuclear weapon for them, but Doc instead used it to provide the DeLorean with the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed for time travel.
Marty attempted to escape from the Libyans in the DeLorean, only to find himself transported back to November 5, 1955 after accidentally activating the time circuits. He soon crashed into the barn of Old Man Peabody. Thinking he was a space alien, he came under fire once again but escaped in the DeLorean. Marty drove until he saw the undeveloped Lyon Estates where he lived in 1985. Thinking it was a dream, he hid the DeLorean and ventured into town, where he discovered the date on a newspaper. He went inside Lou's Cafe and encountered his father eating a bowl of cereal. In following George, he accidentally interfered with the first meeting between his future parents. Instead of George falling from the tree from which he was peeping on Lorraine and getting hit by Sam Baines' car, Marty saved him and was hit. Using the alias "Calvin Klein" (Lorraine saw the name printed on his underwear and assumed it was Marty's name), Marty met up with the 1955 version of Doc and enlisted his help. Marty's mission was to try to get his parents to fall in love, or they would never marry and Marty would never have been born. This was no easy task, as Lorraine had a crush on him instead and George was too scared to ask her out.
Marty devised a plan to scare George into taking Lorraine to the dance. He donned his radiation suit, a hair dryer, and his Sony Walkman with a tape of Eddie Van Halen. Only upon him visiting George in the night as "Darth Vader" did George agree to take out Lorraine, or suffer the melting of his brains, so he had thought. Marty used chloroform to put out George until the next day. Later the next day, a shaken George found Marty in Courthouse Square and told him of his encounter and that he had slept in. Marty noted that he should keep it to himself and pointed out Lorraine in Lou's Cafe. When he saw Biff move in on George, Marty tripped Biff and escaped to the square. He ran to a couple of kids on makeshift skateboards and borrowed it to avoid Biff and his gang. Marty led the gang completely around the square and sent them crashing into a manure truck. Over the next few days, Marty would practice with George on their plan to get him Lorraine next Saturday night; that Marty would become physical with Lorraine and upon seeing George would feign defeat.
On the night of November 12, 1955, Marty took Lorraine to the 'Enchantment Under The Sea' dance. He and George agreed to a plan that would allow George to win Lorraine's heart by "saving" her from Marty's staged aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, Marty made an enemy of high school bully Biff Tannen, and Biff showed up at the dance looking for revenge. Marty was taken away by Biff's goons and locked in the trunk of Marvin Berry's car. The musicians chased them off and attempted to pry open the trunk which had the keys locked inside. When George came to "rescue" Lorraine, he found that instead of having to pretend to save her from Marty, he now had to really save her from Biff. Biff began to twist his arm attempting to break it, but was foiled by Lorraine, whom he pushed to the ground. In anger, George knocked Biff out with a punch to the face, standing up to a bully for the first time in his life, and George and Lorraine fell in love.
Marty joined the dance band onstage to ensure his future existence after Marvin Berry cut his hand open It was almost lost, however, when Mark Dixon jumped in between George and Lorraine, with Marty forgetting how to play the guitar and eventually fading away much like his brother and sister in the photo. George, returns and pushes Dixon away restoring everything between him and Lorraine and finally kiss.
His existence assured, Marty finished the song, and followed up with "Johnny B. Goode" including his own Chuck Berry/Jimi Hendrix/Pete Townshend/Eddie Van Halen-like guitar solo, which, in 1955, left the audience speechless. By doing that he invented rock and roll just a few years earlier than planned.
As the storm began to move in, Marty rushed to get back downtown. Marty tried to warn Doc about the night the terrorists come to kill him but Doc refused to listen and tore up the letter given to him. The lightning struck and knocked down a tree which severed the connection between the clock tower and the poles that would channel the lightning into the flux capacitor. While Doc fixed the line, Marty jumped in the DeLorean and headed to the starting line. He set the arrival time for ten minutes earlier to save Doc. When the alarm went off signaling him to hit the gas, the car died. Marty managed to get the DeLorean back running and took off. In a race to reach the poles, Doc connected the line at exactly 10:04pm and Marty attached to the line, sending him back to 1985.
Arriving back in 1985, Marty began to celebrate his arrival, but the DeLorean died on him again. The Libyans passed him on their way to Twin Pines Mall (now Lone Pine Mall). Doc was shot just the same, but when his other self traveled to 1955, he found that Doc was wearing a bulletproof vest. Doc had read the note all along and figured "what the hell".
That next morning, Marty discovered that his family's lives had turned out very differently because George learned to assert himself by standing up to Biff. They were more confident, richer, and Marty even had his own truck, the Toyota that he had been eyeing previously. Jennifer comes over, but before the two can fully reunite, Doc returns in the Delorean from the future. He pleads with Marty and Jennifer to come with him to the future over an urgent matter involving their children. Doc refuels the Delorean with a futuristic generator called Mr. Fusion and the three of them travel forward to 2015.
( The rest can be found Here. I just wanted to post the first adventure and part of his life prior to the trip.
role play sample"Yeah...I guess you would." Ashlee had said to Alden.
He couldn't help but chuckle a bit. She was always so amazed by what he could do, and he remembered being that way when he was younger and more thrilled about things. Now though he was just amazed at seeing different parts of history rather than the fact that he could come and go through it all any time he willed. He guessed after years and years of doing it all the excitement of it wore off just a tad, though it always came back when he had someone to go with, and it was just a matter of time before he started to get wound up with Ashlee.
"I guess, maybe someone's involved with it, got sick and tired of the gray all the time, what do you think?" The blond spoke up, bringing a wonderful grin to Al's face. "Perfect!" He exclaimed in excitement and praise, followed by a set of his world famous chuckles. "See, that's why I like you Ash, my dear." He began, still walking backwards beside her. "You like to think outside the box!" He grabbed a hold of the air as if he was grabbing a real box, giving a little shake as he said the last little bit, trying to emphazise it just for the fun of it. When he was done he chuckled a bit more, letting his hands drop back down to his side giving off the full length according to his body.
Still walking backwards beside her, Alden ran a hand through his chestnut brown hair, letting the choppy bangs stick back up on end like he had always like them to, as he listed to her speak. "Pretty darn good, went to..." She stopped for a second as if looking for the right words to explain a situation. Al had just enough time to raise an eyebrow at her before she took off again. "A friend's birthday party last night, she turned 21." He grinned and chuckled a bit. "Oh lovely!" He said with a grin, "So I guess the hangover blues are what made you run a bit late, eh?" Alden knew what it was like to drink, had been drinking most of his life, though he only did it occasionally now. No one really knew what his past held, though no one ever bothered to ask. They always thought he was just made and spit out by the universe just as he was now, not born no, but made. Truth was Al grew up rough. His parents fought day in and day out, he began working when he was 13 at the shipping yard just on the other side of town, and he got into drugs real bad all throughout secondary school. It wasn't until his gift showed up that he stopped doing it all and actually tried to make himself a bit of a better person. And that person was walking backwards beside an adorable blond girl at the moment. Yeah, so much for growing up.
Alden turned around and began walking the right way beside the blond as she spoke about their little expedition they were about to embark on. "Hmmm...maybe we'll get to see me or you when one of us was younger."She spoke up. The thought made his mind freeze up. Seeing yourself when you were younger and interacting with them could be very very bad. "Well unless I'm able to break into the whole teleporting business, which mind you I am attempting," He chuckled a bit, ", then we wouldn't really be able to see me when I was younger." They continued walking for a few short feet and then he came to a halt. " "I'm ready when you are, unless you'd like to enjoy now for a few more minutes." She spoke up and he smiled.
"I'm good to go, this weather is just too perfect" Alden said, flicking his tongue out a few times as if he tasted something bad. "Though I must repeat myself again, and I know you are getting tired of it, but...whatever we do and where ever we go, do not, and I repeat DO NOT do anything to draw attention to yourself." His face was grim and his voice was low. "Last thing we need is messing up George Washington's timeline and creating a weird paradox where America was never liberated. That, and if we did that we couldn't fix it cause seeing ourselves again would create another paradox and cancel both ourselves out."" He took a breath, having speaking fast like he always did when he explained something. "Which means we wouldn't exist."
Silence filled the air as he let that thought settle into her mind just a bit. When he thought the moment was right he gave a clap of his hands and grinned brightly. "But no worries though, so lets get to it!" He held at his hand for her to grab and once she grabbed it he squeezed it tightly. "Now remember to close your eyes, last thing I need to do is have you looking into the time vortex and getting sucked into all space and time." He chuckled lightly. "Ready now? Hold on tight."
Once she closed her eyes Alden squeezed her hand a bit more and focused on what needed to be done. It took a moment, a bit longer than normal since he was pushing his limits, but as he started to see the world melt around him he knew what was to come. The world turned gold, filled with bright swirls of silver sparkles, swirling all around them. There was no floor, now sky, nothing except the two of them floating in a cloud like golden vortex. "Here we go, here's the bump." About the time he finished saying that he felt a jerk in his body and almost fell over, landing on solid pavement. He let go of her hand and gazed around. They were still in Cal Park, which was a good sign, though the date was unknown. The weather was back to a normal state. It was still sunny, but the air wasn't as warm and the clouds were gray instead of fluffy white. Turning in a circle to make sure everything was in check he stopped looking at her. "You can open your eyes now." He said with a grin.
