has anyone seen a show called sliders? I think its from the 90's it'd be something cool to rp(or base an rp on the idea of the show). If not this is the description:
(From wikipedia)
Quinn Mallory, a graduate student of physics specializing in string theory from San Francisco, creates a device capable of opening vortices to alternate universes. He develops the technology to the extent that not only can he send items through the gateway he created, but also, with the use of a timer, to return them to their point of origin. He uses himself as his first living "guinea pig." After his initial slide, he returns to find a double from another universe has caused him a bit of trouble, but also helped him solve the final 'missing piece' in the equation for sliding (which includes a solution to the unified field theory).
His best friend Wade Welles and his professor/mentor Maximillian Arturo join him on his second test. However, the wormhole grows unstable and spirals out of control. Singer Rembrandt "Cryin' Man" Brown, driving by Quinn's house, is accidentally sucked through with them. When the timer is activated ahead of time, more than four hours before it was scheduled to, it loses its original coordinates, and the Sliders cannot return home. This leaves them unable to control when the vortices open, or which universe they leap to. The Sliders continue moving from universe to universe, trying to find their way back home.
Common themes during this season include the exploration of political issues, and the appearances of recurring characters' alternate selves, showing how their situations had changed in various realities.
