Vector Runner

Time-traveling rascals from the future, vector runners are a strange breed of rogues. Gaining their power from strange magical experiments, quantum devices and other odd methods, they have the ability to move through time non-linearly. Most vector runner are little more than incredibly fast nuisance, who use their ability to outrun town guards and spray paint over governmental buildings. However a few become heroes, few of a very rare breed, and use their abilities to bring evil-doers to justice.
