Eric Zimmer's Timeline

Eric was born to Eric and Patricia Zimmer on September 5th, 2006. His father was a lawyer, and his mother was the stay at home type. They were always constantly arguing with eachother, until one day they finally got a divorce. His father did not want to raise him, so his mother took care of him until she finally disappeared when he was 4. Left to fend for himself, social services eventually picked him up and took him off to the East Bridge Orphanage.

He learned that orphanages were where people sent their kids when they didn't want them anymore. His father was still alive and he knew it, but he never ever showed up. Instead, the only person who micro-managed his live was the head of the orphanage. She was more aptly called a prison warden by many of the older kids, and he resented her controlling tendencies just as much. Often, doctors were brought it on various subjects to give the smarter children a wide variety of knowledge.

Shadows Awaken

Eventually at the age of 8, he decided he'd had enough and would strike out on his own like the pioneers of old. He successfully escaped the orphanage, and surprisingly, nobody came looking for him. He didn't have time to dwell on that thought, as as soon as he started exploring, he found a place that rudely reintroduced him to fear. He was randomly jumpy as his parents or watchers were always ready to yell at him for something. Strangers were no different, and he hightailed it out of there with a random marketplace trinket.

What he never realized in his chase, was that he ran straight through a time portal, that warped him into the library the morning before his escape. There he met Captain Jack Harkness, who immediately took him under his protection. After encountering a reaper that used the same portal he traveled through to get in, and shadows that walked, he realized there was more to the outside world than he thought.

For the next few months he remained at Captain Jack's hideout, being looked after by Captain Jack or his gang. He attended school where he quickly learned he was an expert at math and science, and was often bored by how slowly the teacher moved on for the other kid's sake. It led to him feeling a mite superior to the rest of the class, and they often made fun of him.

Pounding of Hooves

When not at "home" exploring Captain Jack's technological wonders, he was off exploring the country side. He quickly got into trouble again, when he sneaked into the stables of a small time mafia leader. While attempting to ride a horse, he ended up with a few bruises, and met an 11 year old girl named Ellie, who he formed a hard and fast relationship with. Still of the exploring mind, he quickly found out the supposed owner had people killed, and he and Ellie were next for finding out.
