Tesla V3

History tells us Nikola Tesla died penniless and broken in New York City in 1943. He didn't, nor was he penniless. Supporters of a progressive community known as Technocrats spirited him away, leaving a spent clone behind to mislead his detractors.The legendary missing papers of his inventions were also false crumbs that he knew the FBI and the power brokers of America would swoop in to confiscate. Tesla actually lived for another 300 years (His choice).For 3 centuries, his mind moved through 3 different versions of himself as he continued to develop inventions with emerging technologies, all with one purpose: to save humanity, not just from itself, but from any future threats. This story occurs in the year 2300, nearing his final years.

Spring is bubbly and optimistic. She always sees the cup as 3/4 full in any given situation.  A self declared nature sympth. She is easily distracted by animals. Her empathy is strong but reserved mostly for animals and plants. Of course, she talks to plants. And they talk back. She has a mecha cat/rabbit/chameleon... whatever, it changes form at will, as a constant companion. While Velvet is grace and poise, Spring is frilly and colorful. Sometimes blindingly so. Expressive and artistic, she adores sharing poetry and art with Nikola.  She is very insistent about choosing TIFFENs wardrobe.  

Velvet is even tempered and sober. Very succinct in her responses to any question and fond of facts. She is the living embodiment of google fact checking. Her sharp brain compartmentalizes data as well as any computer, and she forgets nothing. Velvet is not a bland reciter of facts like some. You know the ones. They look up, their eyes glaze as the pull up well rehearsed facts which they recite with precision and all the charm of an automotron. No. Velvet is smooth, elegant and poised. When she corrects your misinformation, you feel grateful. Unless of course you are threatened by such realities. Velvet is polite, dignified and carries a confident air of feminine power.   

TIFFEN fancies himself a warrior. Well versed in the defensive arts, even though on Mars there is no real need. TIFFEN is energetic, enthusiastic and empathetic. TIFFEN is humble and polite, despite his edgy interests. TIFFEN is very good at de-escalating a situation and will use his knowledge of the defense arts reluctantly.  

TIFFEN is very fond of the giant robot Nikola built solely for this earth mission. He talked Nikola into creating a cockpit within the robot so he can go on “battle ride alongs”. When the two work together, things are less black and white. 

From Spring's menagerie of cybertronic zoo critters, Dodo is by far her favorite and constant companion.His overly dramatic personality might suggest he still requires some fine-tuning, though. 

Ever since the day that Nikola Tesla appeared on the radar of the power industrialists that run the show, he has been admired with great fear. Tesla's agenda for the common good of humanity was an existential threat to them all, especially, The Jed. 1940s Jed never believed Tesla died in 1943, and 5 generations of Jeds have since relentlessly pursued Tesla. They want him dead, or preferably alive and controlled.
