Spotlight on Sean Hoffman 2099

A Note: After scuba diving off the coast of Hawaii, finding Osama Bin Laden in a coral reef and nearly suffocating when he stole my oxygen tank, I had a vision of the future lives of my friends...

It hasn't been easy for Sean Hoffman 2099. After graduating from Purdue University in 2015, Sean planned to vacation down in Austin, TX. On his way down Sean got lost in Nashville when he turned left at the Country and Blues bar instead of the Blues and Country Bar. Trying to ask for directions, Sean was mistaken for a Holocaust reenactor, shuffled into line, branded with a fake tattoo and crowded into a mock-oven. After the initial heart palpitations and a $25 check for the day, Sean realized he had rather enjoyed being led to his death. He then decided to cancel his vacation and become a professional Jew.

He stayed in Nashville, teaching little kids about the gruesome deaths of 6 million people and playing drums for an autistic cowboy band, until the Great Z Scare of 2045. While everyone else from his block was evacuated, authorities thought Sean was already infected on account of the holocaust get-up and left him behind. Sean was then bitten, becoming a cannibalistic shell of a human being for four months until receiving a weaponized injection of Dr. Mathes's miracle serum.

No longer able to perform as a holocaust non-survivor because of his survival scars (crumpled left arm), Sean packed his bags (slowly) and decided to head down to Austin, TX and complete his vacation after all.

It was there that Sean met a lovely lady named Sixtang, a local singer/songwriter with no talent. In 2050, they opened The Hoffman Soul Museum and were able to book The Perry's (a hot band) as the inaugural act. The Hoffman Soul Museum took off and Sean was talked about behind his back by thousands of celebrities who visited the venue.

Unfortunately, Sean and Sixtang's relationship hit a rocky patch after they opened their venue. But it didn't really come to an end until The Hoffman Soul Museum was destroyed by The Cyborg Miller in 2052 with the rest of the inner-Austin-city-limits. When Sean emerged from the wreckage, he was shocked to find Sixtang with another man (well, a virgin busboy). The relationship ended.

With few options open to him and the government "hush" money drying up from the Nashville incident (as it was formally known), Sean joined the Ringling Brots. and Barnum Bailey Jr. Jr. Jr. circus as a freak.

Sean's spirit took a negative turn then. He became addicted to Oprah and kept the Jack Daniel's company afloat in 2076. He also ruthlessly wriggled his crumpled arm at toddlers in the freak tent.

Eventually, Sean righted himself and began involving himself more in the management of the circus. Finally, in 2098, Sean got his big break with the assignment to design the 2099 main-tent show. He spent months preparing, building intricate models and even consulting with top-men.

But disaster struck at the first rehearsal. Sean's idea to have monkeys shooting monkeys out of cannons failed miserably (and caused the death of eight monkeys), costing the circus sixty million dollars in tent repair, animal cruelty suits and monkey funeral services. Sean was asked to leave the circus.
Monkeys shooting monkeys out of cannons (conceptually)....

Sean Hoffman, 2099, has a small apartment in Alex Wood's City. He drives a taxi at night. He is organizing a protest with some of the other drivers to get the city's elite to start tipping again. His hope is to save up enough money to get his crumpled left arm surgically repaired sometime in the next one hundred years of his life.
