The four main characters are Hephaestus, Hestia, Artemis and Herecles

that's greek as hell 🙂

YEah

demi gods

But there are people with names like Ceasar and become great leaders

yeah who would think a drink would make a good emperor?

LOL

But not only Mythological names but heroiic names also

aye, i see you have a pretty unique synopsis here

So if a soldier was named Xerxes

The ship in Dakota helps the world develop technology to stop an invasion

and the Sioux all get abilities based on their names too

So this explains Nightwolf in Mortal Kombat

it all makes sense now

LOL

The crash prevents Licoln from being assassinated

i gather the whole scientific field gets on steroids too

like exponential growth and discoveries

pretty steampunk indeed

More like Coal powered lightning canons

and airships

Tesla would be intrigued

Yes unfornately he was a little kid

I looked it up

I'm sure this would only exacerbate his curiosity

time to make unsung heroes of the past, the heroes of the alternate story you're telling

Tesla would be 9

old enough to know this is way cooler than electromagnetic fields

"I WANNA DO THIS INSTEAD!"

Yes but he was in Croatia

wouldn't that be like a changing event for the whole planet tho?

the implications of that event

Yes

Two ships crashing would feel it

Around the world

eventually, when the news reach him, it could trigger something in him

Edison was in his 30s when this happens

this is the kind of thing that just changes everything for everyone

So these ships are from two different places

The one in Georgia is from another dimension

whereas the one in Dakota is from an extraterestrial race coming to invade Earth
