<div align="justify">I was born in a utopia in the year 11,990 and raised to be a test subject for an experimental time pod being developed by the government. The time pod was scheduled to be tested on my 18th birthday and I was to be sent back to the year 2008. You see most of the recorded history from that time and onward had been destroyed for unknown reasons a long time ago. I was being sent there to find out what happened. Between the time I was born and my 18th birthday I was taught about all the remaining history of that time. Apparently something called the Prometheus Virus happened but no one knows what that was. Years of testing had concluded that whatever it was had broken down around the time the great flare hit the planet. Though that's another event we know only little about. The earliest recorded history we know of is from the year 8000 and that was the Great Species War between the predators and the prey. Don't get confused though as both sides were omnivorous. The terms predator and prey were used to separate the larger stronger animal tribes from the smaller weaker animal tribes. The war ended with the Treaty of Unity which stated that every animal tribe would work together to advance the quality of life. You can probably figure out how I ended up in a utopian society now. When I turned 18 my father Mathew Sr told me that I would soon know the answer to every question I would ever have for the rest of my life. But I think he's just going crazy. He once told me he knows what happened in 2008 but couldn't tell anyone until I was gone. What a weird guy. That day I was briefed on my mission and put into the time pod. When the time pods diagnostic systems came back green then I started countdown and was on my way. Everything was going smoothly until the time pods experimental chrono-core overheated and cracked. The time pod went out of control and crashed far before 2008. The navigation system estimated that I was in California around the year 75,000 B.C. I pushed the time pod into a near by cave in the California mountains and after covering up the cave entrance decided to take a nap. I had no idea the crack in the chrono-core was leaking radiation. When I woke up I found out that the radiation had completely halted my aging. After a few hundred years I discovered that the radiation had also stopped the need to consume food and the need to sleep. With the time pod damaged beyond repair I decided to just sit in the cave and watch time go by around me. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting for something interesting to happen I started running into the indigenous hairless people of the area and they revered me as a god. I wasn't really into the whole idea and eventually they forgot about my physical existence and revered me as a spirit. I took advantage of this and faded back into obscurity. I starting collecting various bits of clothing from the people I ran into in the woods and I was eventually able to disguise my animalistic appearance and check out the world that was building around my cave. When 2008 came around I was reminded of my mission and waited to see what the world changing event I had had been sent there to find out about was. At the time the Prometheus Virus was released I had no idea what was going on around me. Everyone starting mutating into animal and monsters. It took a few days for the Virus to start affecting me but it eventually did. Although I didn't lose my mind like a lot infected I had to fight a lot of them. Now I try to make the best of the situation I am in.</div>

Hi, my name is Mathew. Before the Promethean Nanites hit I was just your average furry. A few fetishes here and there and a well paying job at a designer costume shop. Though a job at a designer costume shop might not be so average for an 18 year old but I digress. The day the nanites hit had started like any other day. My boss had to step out for a minute and she left her cat in the staff room like she normally did. I was tending the register when I was thrown off guard by some kind of explosion outside. I ran to the doors to lock them when a huge cloud of grey dust blew the doors open. It left a metal taste in my mouth. After I locked the door I went to the staff room to check on the cat when she jumped me like a wild animal. I managed to pull her off with some miner bites and cuts and she ran out an open window which I quickly shut. After a few days of waiting and eating the stuff in the break room I was looking a lot like my boss’ cat, girly bits and everything. I knew something was wrong but I couldn't just go outside with my clothes ripped up the way they were. So I spent a couple of days working on my new outfit. I took a knee length white lab coat and some pinstripe suit pants and tailored them just the way I wanted. I dyed a big black paw print on the back of the lab coat as my insignia and topped it off with a fedora I cut holes in to fit my ears. After that I got my lucky pocket watch out of the employee safe and chained it to my pocket. I was looking pretty snazzy if you ask me. I laced up my sneakers and exited through the back door to avoid being seen by whatever might be outside. After some running for my life I managed to find a camp of animal people like me and was informed about what happened. So now I call New Dawn my home and help the Prometheans when I can.
