Character: Nikola Tesla
Series: Sanctuary
Age: 140 or so
Job: Camp Electrician
Canon: Remember the monsters under your bed? Well, it turns out they’re real. Referred to as ‘abnormals,’ they include the full spectrum of anything not quite human, from mermaids to giant spiders capable of causing massive tectonic shifts. But wait, you say! If the world is full of monsters, how come we haven’t seen them? That would be thanks to the Sanctuary network: a global network of safehouses designed to protect abnormals from humans and vice-versa.
Nikola Tesla is, in no particular order: not actually dead, yes that Tesla, and a vampire. Unfortunately, this is about the best that can be said about him. He might be thoroughly brilliant, but he also happens to be an arrogant, self-centered asshole. He also has something of a tendency to try a find a to see his race returned to glory, which has never really endeared him to people, least of all the Sanctuary. Basically, he’s that guy everyone loves to hate.
Note for the canon familiar: Tesla is coming from before the events of “Sleepers”
Well, this is new. An isolated village out in the middle of nowhere hiding some deadly secret? Oh yes, like that hasn’t been done already. Nice work on the EM shield though. Most people wouldn’t think to phase-shift it that way. Something about not being able to understand how the basic equations have to change to hold it. It’ll certainly keep your problems out of the way for a long time, though. Oh yes. A very long time indeed.
There’s just one thing I’m not getting, though. Why build a cage only to bring more people into it? That shield will hold for years with enough power, so it can’t possibly be to actually maintain anything here. Unless... No, that can’t be it. The sheer scope of something that size would take years. We’re talking decades here. At the least! And really, let’s be honest with ourselves, here. What you have so far? Not very impressive. Children could do better. I don’t want to hear that rot about not having time, either. If you had time maybe the place would actually look nicer. It’s not just the buildings either. Whatever these shambling corpses were supposed to be, they’re an eyesore. For everyone. If you’re going to be keeping us hostage here, the least you could do is actually make it comfortable.
...Yes, very funny, thank you. Does anyone else have an inclination towards the class clown? No? Good. Maybe we can actually start trying to make some progress, assuming someone here still has the brains they were born with. Yes, yes, I know, it’s foolish of me to even assume, but is it honestly too much to ask that at least someone here has even the slightest modicum of sense? Or should I just consign myself to the unwashed masses now and be over with it?
