Time Chaser - I would go in katakana MR. タイム チェーサー (as in タイムマシーン), kanji will look silly and not cool (I cannot believe I am actually saying this...)

I agree with Kyle here, that we need a context. On TV they say おはようございます & おつかれさまでした. Japanese rarely go personal, and they address people in 3rd person (by name, if they know it, if not there are other ways to do it). 様 is a polite way (official), さん is also polite but used while addressing people you know as well (even of the same age). Both postfixes come after the name of the person they are adressing. If you talk to a crowd, you say 皆様.
