I'm not sure what system I'd use for this, so...
I got the idea from watching Shakugan no Shana and Eden of the East in the same day.
Essentially, each player has the same end to their backstory; they were murdered. More specifically, with a knife.
They wake up in a room, and are informed that they were selected to be save the country they lived in. To this effect, they are alloted fortnight of perceived time, exactly, starting when they leave that room.
If this time runs out, they never existed. If they are killed, their time is halved, and they are returned to life.
They can manipulate time at will, doing crazy crap like stopping it for people in the area, reversing it, seeing the future or the past. However, since time is consumed at the rate they are perceiving it, going back 12 minutes consumes 12 minutes of your time.
Thy can transfer time over to someone else, in which case, two things happen:
1. If they had "time" before, they have the amount you transfer added to their total.
2. If they didn't have "time" before, they now have the amount of time you gave them before they die of apparently natural causes.
You have to be in physical contact to transfer time.
Then you are let go.
What system should I use? I'm familiar with Risus, 1st and 3rd edition DnD, BESM 3rd edition, passingly familiar with Mutants and Masterminds, and could learn Gurps and Fudge in no time at all.
So who would play this crazy idea?
