Otto Matik
As a scientist, Otto feels a responsibility to pursue scientific discoveries for the betterment of the human race. Usually however, he only manages to achieve the opposite.
Living in the suburbs with his only son, Otto has a hard time fitting in, as his secluded way of life isolates him from much of the neighbourhood. Instead of getting involved in trivial things like socializing, Otto focuses his entire life on science and research. He is not keen to seek advice or help from anyone and is originally from Germany where his uncle still lives in the Matik family ancestral castle.
Desperately wanting to model his life after the Mad Scientist stereotype, he built a secret laboratory under his home. After building a working time machine from a Volkswagen van, he quickly found out that time travel has only one certainty; meeting your future self is unavoidable.
Otto’s often reckless behavior puts him (and most of the time also his son) in dangerous or interesting situations that he solves in mostly unconventional ways.
