So How Are Your Analogues?
- Thread starter Romulus Augustulus
- Start date
In one where Donald Rumsfeld ends up as Reagan's VP, I am now Deputy Chairman of the Republican Party, and I'm late for a meeting with President McConnell. The War with Iran seems to finally be coming to a close...
In another, I am a translator who works for Alaska, particularly for its dealings with the Tsar.

In timeline Gamma-4, I'm a Robin Hood/Jesse James/Ned Kelly type of outlaw whose robbing from wealthy corporate-aristos and fighting security forces of the North American Cartel, a group of corporations who took control of the US after it when bankrupt back in the 1930's. I also have alot of personal troubles, as my younger brother is the local head of law enforcement, and one of my cousins is a captain in the Cartel Miltia.
In timeline Alpha-7, I'm a leader of a crew of gangsters. We deal in illegal liquor, stolen cars, and hijack convoys.

In timeline Beta-34, I'm the road manager of my eldest brother's lastest rock & roll tour. He took off a few years in the early 1990's after touring almost non-stop from 1980 on. He was willing to rest on his laurels, until a friend convinced him to go back on to back on the road. I was a associate at a law firm, my speciality is tax law, and I also have a degree in accountancy. I was visiting him when the tour swung by Rockford, IL. His road manager got made and walked out at the last minute, and I stepped in to help. After the show, a few of the roadies asked me to take over, and my brother agreed.

in TL Beta-99(see decades of darknesss)- The year is 2015 I'm a communist revolutionary/bandit working to get the jackals out of mexico. The US is imploding and New England, Canada and he UK are all joining in with invasions of the north. They've also sent advisors and weapons to my cause of marxist revolution.
In Timeline Tau-96: This is august 2005 in this TL where Humphrey won in 1968 and Reagan got elected in 1972 causing an earlier and stronger conservative backlash movement I'm currently a student at the university of toronto(family fled to canada in the early 80s like a good chunk fo america's liberal population). Canada in this timeline is whiter with the immigration from india being replaced by liberals leaving an increasingly hostile US. James Dobson is the POTUS in this TL.
In TL Beta-X19 This is in january 2005. The south won the civil war and expanded to take over mexico and much of central america/carribean. The US also expanded taking western canada and lands in the pacific. In 2005 the Empires of The Union, The Confederacy, Kaiser's Germany and the Indian Republic are the biggest powers. My alternganger for some reason has blue eyes(plausible) and blue/green hair(weird). My personal history apparently was a bit different with one of my close friends not moving in and a new close friend added in from the start(a short japanese girl). apparnetly I've been dating her for some time. Recently the two of us have ended at this weird mansion named Chateau Chucklehuck owned by a blue lizardman and his "associates" which include a tall blonde man with long hair and cow horns, a mysterious blonde woman with bright green bangs and other such trange people...

I'm 20, so all of these are taking place in 2030.
FTL-28718: I'm a mercenary commander for Shield International. Me, my men, and the Gurkha regiment we were "advising" are currently surrounded by Chinese troops in Kashmir. My HQ is in the unoccupied northern part of the city of Jammu, and I'm beginning to experience starvation. But I can handle it - I've had to deal with worse in Nigeria, Vietnam, and Oman.
FTL-67804: I'm the head of my own private principality in Central Europe, stretching from Bratislava to Cracow to Timisoara. I'm also going to be assassinated within hours, but I don't know it.
FTL-09365: I'm the most succesful AH writer in the world. My stuff has been characterized as unrealistic by some and untalented by others, but I'm succesful because I was already well known when I began writting.
All of these FTL did not exist anywhere before I wrote them.

In Morgan-54, my analogue is part of the Executive Security Agency's bodyguard team for President Heston. It seems like an intriguing timeline, as long as you don't have to live there - big business runs nearly all First-World countries, with the exception of Russia, and the ESA functions as a private army for the bigwigs of the gigantic business conglomerates as well as the executive and judicial branches of the US government. Apparently they also do mercenary contract work in Africa, South America, and other 'trouble spots' for the Corporate Union, a pseudo-UN organization composed of this world's monolithic super-corporations.
Be well
Being born in 1986 there are not many direct analogues:
La Palma 2003: I have changed to agricultural school and now manage to earn some money raising livestock, even Depressed people need to eat.
and one other person ocupying my place and family name:
Wallentein-2: hmm it seems my analogue is doing quite well at court due to his exotic appearence- he is quarter black. Grandfather served as District Governor in Czech Somaliland
p).

In timeline Gamma-3, I'm the leader of a squad of bodyguards who protect the only daughter of a powerful corporate head. The job is okay, but she keeps finding new ways to sneak out of her suite, and the girl likes to go to the skin clubs in the Red Sector. "High Society" has a thing about sandal, and I can only stage so many drunken driving accidents.
World 33- I am a local warlord. Having taken power by force of arms alone. Assembling firearms, horses, and forcing those who enter my valley to farm. Ahh life is so good since Y2K hit. Although the windmills around the mouth of the valley do light my camp well. Plus these Deeveedees are wonderfully good a calming the masses.
World 2011- My wrist never snapped in the thrid quarter, and I am a big dumb guy working at a garage. I wonder why I never studied in highschool.
World 303- I am a professer in Dialect History and Class Struggle History. My wife and I have one state approved child.
World 304- I am a professer in Pre-Betrayal History (pre-1918). My wife and I are on our eigth child.
World 745- Along with my fellow Californians, I fight for Independence from the USA. Luckily the CSA has been funneling weapons and money to us for years. Long live the Bear Republic!
World 110 - Born into Serfdom, I serve the Kingdom of America as best I can. My sister sadly is traped in Mexican Imperial land. Hopefully the King will start the counter offensive into Southern California soon. Long live the King!
World 666- Ahh what a wonderful life. Working as a book burner, in front of the local church to our Lord Mammon. I pray when I am told to, and even join in watching the tortures to the unbelievers. Some claim the old world was destroyed by Nuclear bombs in 1962, but we, and all other know the truth. Satan won the final battle, and AntiBishop Nixon leads us all to glory against the wicked Middle East.

I presumably wouldn't exist in any TL with a POD before 1984, so...I suppose there would be alternate me-s in "Soviet Union Survives, Or Even Wins, At The Eleventh Hour" type TLs, anything to do with either Gulf War, or German reunification...but I don't see it really affecting me much, either.
If we ignore the butterfly effect, my fondness for uber British Empire TLs is rather ironic, as barring grammar school scholarships or something I'd probably be dahn t'pit.

In Timeline XC-17 I read a book called "The Compulator" in 1977, just like in OTL. However, there I spent the summer applying it to building the first Pomegranate microcomputer instead of trying to develop a new subspecies of Psilocybe Cyanescens.
Just as well, I suppose, since Joan Baez took me to the cleaners in the divorce settlement after she caught me with Madonna, and I'm living out of dumpsters there now.

Earth EK9-No camels lead to a world where the dark ages were darker causing the mongols to never fall. Khan Borat VI's Evergreen Khanate covers the entire world. Other than the high tech military, the flying "iron horses"(think motorcycles but they fly), surveillence devices and mind control technology for the elite the world is sitll in the dark ages. My analogue still has the blue/green hair of one of the earlier worlds I mentioned but she's female and has almond shaped green eyes. She is involved in the resistence against the Evergreen Khanate.
Timeline 11423: I run one of the classier speakeasies in San Diego's Irish Quarter. I have a limp from the bullet I took in the leg during the gang war between the Irish-Jewish Mafia and the Mexican-Armenian-Chinese Triads.
Timeline 2343: I'm a sergeant with the 14th Royal British-American Infantry. We are currently stationed in Northern Persia after protecting our Persian allies from an invasion by Czarist Russia.
Timeline 1203: I'm lead singer of the Progressive Chinese influenced rock band Purple Oyster. We are on out third US tour and have the #2 song on the Billboard charts.
Timeline 702: After graduating Magna Cum Laude from USC, I married my college sweetheart and am a second year law student at Yale. My wife and I are expecting our first and only state permitted child. I’ll deliver the child by c-section in February.
Timeline 9189: I'm resistance fighter in Brazilian-occupied California. Things aren't going well. Attrition is high and our supplies of weapons from our French benefactors is slowing to a trickle due their own problems in Africa.

Timeline Psi-77: I am the leader of a circle of Neo-Pagans and I am currently head of the committee that runs the regional Winter Solstice Faire. It was almost cancelled because of Tejas backed, gods-be-damned Christian Terrorists. Tejas succeeded from the North American Alliance after the Helms Bill was defeated in the Grand Assembly. At least it is not as bad as 9/11 when members of the Sword of God rammed those planes into the World Commerce Center in New London. Too bad they haven't been able to find Supreme Prophet Robertson and his second in command George W. Bush.

Timeline x-13a I'm having problems in my job because I've recently been caught in yet more malfeasance by professional interlopers. I'm going to brazen it out and blame them for it, what the hell, I can't run again anyway.
Timeline 811-69 My shows been canceled and my marriage has been called off but my book is selling well. Who cares, anyway, I'm still sinfully beautiful and filthy rich.
Timeline ft7y- I've just suppressed a revolt against my rule in Japan. I still intend to pass on the Shogunate to my daughter this time.
Timeline rr-0 - I'm having a little problem with my studies in Law at Harvard. I think Professor Bush may not like Beauty contest winners as attorneys, chauvinist.
Timeline xt56y1 - My porno show where I and my female companion review computer sex games in live action is the hottest thing on cable, but my god I am one ugly bastard.
