Now, even if I’m still struggling with my new story- and timeline (please have patience), I’m gonna post some characters which will appear in this story. Here’s a group of adventurers from an alternative Steampunk-Reality that will play an improtant role in paving the way for the emerge of superhumans in my main universe.
In a world where the industrial revolution was altered through the discovery of an ancient nuclear-powered alien starship beneath stonehenge in 1886, history took a change of course. Amongst the team of researchers that examined the spacecraft was a young student called H.G. Wells who discovered a machine inside the ship that could open wormholes through space and time. But this very discovery finally lead to a war between the discoverers of the ship and it’s constuctors – an alien race known as “The Harvesters” that lived hidden on their earth for millennia and wasn’t very pleased to see a superior technology, that was lost to themselves, in the hands of such an underdeveloped species like humankind. The war eventually ended in an uncertain truce in 1889, but by this time vast areas of their earth had already became inhabitable for both races due to biological and chemical warfare agents and thousands of people have been mutated in an explosion of an alien artifact. With the help of his friend Thomas Edison H.G. Wells finally managed to reengineer the alien technology he had found and was able to build a machine in 1891 that allowed him to travel into parallel dimensions and even through time itself. In an effort to change the fate of his world he gathered a group of adventurers, scientists, and artists – all with unique special abilities – from all around the world and some even from different points in time to form a team that would travel to an alternate reality and search for the only species that has ever been able to withstand the enemy: The Mata’Nui.
