Dan Vasser

A reporter for a San Francisco newspaper. Dan's shifts through time occur seemingly at random, with only a brief flash visible each time that is so subtle that Dan sometimes does not notice. He appears to have no control over them, though sharp headaches do precede the shifts. The destination date can be any date in the recent past, often requiring him to locate a recent newspaper. The location is often in the same city but can be in drastically different parts. When Dan shifts, his body vanishes from the present, along with his current clothing and personal effects. However, time in the present continues to move on in his absence. This creates initial tensions with his family and co-workers, who wonder what has happened to him when he seems to disappear for days. Dan can also encounter himself in the past. Additionally, we have learned Dan is recovering from a gambling addiction.
