Definitely interested in this. Since we’re allowed to be from alternate time lines, I think I’ll dust off my United States of Atlantis setting. The basic premise comes from the Atlantis Trilogy by Harry Turtledove, about North America breaking in half sometime before humans evolved. The western portion, known as Terra Nova, would be inhabited by tribes crossing the ice bridge from Asia, while the eastern portion, known as Atlantis after the lost city, would remain human free for thousands of years.

Eventually European sailors would find Atlantis, and with no one living there, claim it. Eventually Atlantis would become a haven for those fleeing persecution in Europe and the other continents of the Old World. Atlantis would then become the first modern democracy with the founding of the United States of Atlantis. Quickly, Atlantis and Asia would become the central powers, as they began to produce steampunk technology.

In this time line, it is now the 1910s, and war is breaking out in Europe. Atlantis is divided on whether to intervene, as some politicians call for world peace, while others see it as an opportunity to extend Atlantis’s reach.

My character would be the son on a pro-war politician, currently attending a prestigious university on Atlantis’s east coast. He is something of a tinkerer, dabbling in steampunk technology. After bonding with his crystal shard, he will develop the ability to copy the skills, abilities, and powers of those around him. Think a suped up combination of Sync and Prodigy of the X-Men, if you know Marvel Comics.

So yeah, I’ve put some thought into my character and home time line. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to play him as this does seem really interesting.
