An interesting movie about parallel universes is The One. When it came out, it had an official website with various information on the characters and even a lot of background information.

The official website is now defunct, but there is a "copy" of the site on the net. It's really cool.

Here is the info from the site on the characters:

MVA Agent File: Special Agent Harry Roedecker

Name: Harry Roedecker

Age: 54

Authorization: Level 5

Pre-Agency:
Harry Roedecker is a former United States Secret Service Agent. Roedecker resigned after being forced to accept blame for the assassination of the Secretary of State. He immediately applied to the MVA.

Agency Record: Despite being one of the most highly decorated field agents in MVA history, Roedecker has been unable to apprehend Major Violator Gabriel YuLaw, his former partner. Roedecker and YuLaw were partners for more than six years and responsible for over fifty Parallel Universe Retrievals. After an unsuccessful attempt to apprehend Violator Andrew Harris, YuLaw became obsessed with Harris increased physical abilities. Roedecker failed to notice this or the fact that YuLaw began terminating his Parallel Universe Versions while they were on field missions. By the time Roedecker learned about YuLaw's activities from Agent Grant, he had already become too powerful to apprehend.

Bio: Psyche reports indicate that Roedecker assumes blame for the transformation of his former partner, Gabriel YuLaw, from a decorated MVA Agent to a Major Violator. Roedecker has had little success since YuLaw left the agency.

MVA Agent File: Evan Funsch

Name: Evan Funsch

Age: 28

Authorization: Level 3

Pre-Agency:
Evan Funsch was a Beta Universe LAPD Vice Cop in the prestigious Rampart Division when he was approached by MVA Agents to assist in the apprehension of Marcos Rodriguez. Though the mission was unsuccessful, Funsch demonstrated an extensive knowledge of Beta Universe's sophisticated underworld and was recruited by the MVA to help track several Violators believed to be hiding in the Beta Universe. Funsch is only the third non-Alpha Universe native to be recruited.

Agency Record:
Funsch has recorded six successful Retrievals in the past five months, despite poor Intelligence and Aptitude Scores. He had been stationed as a permanent Beta Universe Field Agent, but was recently removed from that assignment and appointed to assist Agent Harry Roedecker in the apprehension of Major Violator Gabriel YuLaw. Funsch was hand picked by Roedecker due to his resourcefulness and high level of success. He was also promoted to Level 3.

Bio:
Evan Funsch grew up in the tough Beverly Hills section of Los Angeles. A former college football star, he was drafted by the Oakland Cowboys but got injured before his rookie season. He enjoys restoring classic cars and fishing in the pristine Los Angeles River.

MVA Agent File: Chief of Operations Kyle Browning

Name: Kyle Browning

Age: 62

Authorization: Level 8

Pre-Agency:
A former Texas Border Patrol agent, Kyle Browning was hired to head security for the original Quantum Tunneling Project and accompanied researchers on many of the first jumps. When one of the researchers made an unauthorized jump to escape from a tax fraud scandal, Kyle Browning successfully retrieved her.

Agency Record:
When the MVA was formed to address the problems of the new technology and the criminals who were abusing it, Browning was made Head Field Agent and set in place many of the practices and procedures still used in the tracking and apprehension of criminals in other universes. He also coined the term "Parallel Universe Retrieval", meaning not just the capture of criminals but the act of escorting them back to the Alpha Universe for trial. Browning also divided the Field Agents into two interrelated groups. One group specializes in simple Retrievals of Alpha Universe criminals who have used Quantum Tunneling to escape to another universe. The other grou

Thanks Anarko, I remember that site when the movie was in the theaters. It's really fascinating, RPG-worthy stuff.

Yeah, this would make a great Role-Playing-Game. And even better it would make a great TV show. A kind of Sliders meets Timecop.

Anarko, I join Skywalken in thanking you for the link. I've seen The One a number of times on cable and although the story was a little to short, the special effects were rather impression.

Great fight scenes!

Is this The One starring Jet Li?

I'll rape you to death.
I'll eat your flesh.
I'll sew your skin into my clothes.
If you're very very lucky, I'll do it in that order - TheReaver
