Anderson Winters

Anderson Winters is a fictional character, played by Aiden Caufield, in 2024 and it's spin-off series. Anderson Winters was a former Time Agent from the 21st Century. He grew up in the North East of the United Kingdom within the Newlands Regions. which were formerly known as Gateshead Upon Tyne.

Early Life
Anderson Winters was born in 1998, and grew up during the 21st Century. He was one of many who had to live during the time of the Resource Wars; where Germany and the United Kingdom would fight against one another for the Resources of the Intermediate Republic of France, Norway and Denmark (IRFND).

Anderson Winters was an only child. He was raised on the edge of Newlands, between where the old city of Gateshead once stood and where Newcastle Upon Tyne remained; the City of Skyscrapers within the North East of the United Kingdom.

He spent a lot of time by himself or alongside his mother, playing games, exploring or going hunting with his mother in the Gateshead Wild regions.

After the Barrier of Britain, a fortified wall-like structure that prevented German-Scottish Troops against attacking from the North collapsed, Newcastle and Newlands were both pillaged and massacred in a blood bath. After the British Army and the Brotherhood of Eldars were called in, they cleaned up the mess.

Anderson was lucky to make it through these events unscathed. His mother on the otherhand was murdered in cold-blood by German-Scottish Officer Johann Kerr, who was later killed in retaliation by Thomas Winters, Anderson's father.

Anderson Winters was escorted by Thomas Winters from their family home, where his father met Taskforce-8 who claimed that Thomas Winters had assignments to complete.

As his father was to be away for an unknown length of time, and Thomas had been offered a place for his son within the nearest Smallworlds Facility, a bunker designed to house and educate orphaned children, (either in military or scientific capacities) Thomas sent Anderson to meet Director John Netherwest.

Anderson was flown to Newcastle's Central Citadel, where The Castle, once stood. He entered theSmallworlds Facility under the Citadel, on what he would later call the worst day of his life. At the age of fourteen, Anderson remained within the Smallworlds Facility, known as Smallworlds Facility 0-9-1, for seven years before being incarcerated within Cryogenic Storage.

Discovering the Wasteland
Upon regaining control of his body, Anderson awoke within his cryogenic pod. The automated computer sensed that he was awake within his pod and opened it. Taking a few minutes to learn how to see, walk, hear and speak once more, he tried to open many of the other pods. the computer although refused to open these pods, revealing that many of the people within the facility who were isolated in the pods died of asphyxiation, due to cryogenic failure. With alarms blaring, Anderson decides that he is the only human alive within the facility and exits the facility. On his way out, he is able to take out some Red Star Operatives with hand-to-hand combat, he interrogates a Red Star soldier to discover who he is before knocking them unconscious. as he continues through the facility, he finally discovers the armory where he takes his operator, his gun and his baton from his storage locker.

He then continues further through the facility, discovers the main registry terminal owned by the Director and discovers the true purpose of the Smallworlds facilities, to turn all individuals isolated, except the odd few, into Time Assassins, aka Temporal Automatons.

Eventually, he exits the facility using the emergency protocols upon the door control terminal, after reaching the main entrance reception, and opening the security gate, intern, opening the evacuation tunnel that leads to the surface. He enters the small lift shaft and returns to the surface, avoiding Red Star along the way.

Upon reaching ground level, as sunlight streamed onto his face for the first time in seven years, Anderson would fall to his knees and cry through immense heart-break at the sight that lay before him. An uncultivated, barren, empty and desolate wasteland, with no signs of life or growth. Newcastle, as far as the eye could see, was a vacant, dead, no-man's-land.

Now home to toxic materials within the soil, and split instead into the downtown ruins of countless major landmarks, including the Tyne Bridge, Newcastle's Central Citadel, and the now crippled Apollo Corporation. The North East had suffered greatly, with the rolling barren plains of the sand dunes to the south, an area now similar in description to the Sahara desert, and the swampy gravel-lands further north, and within the centre lay the derelict compositions of several tall skyscrapers that have been worn through time. With many pre-Meteorite buildings, monuments, and landmarks still standing, many have been destroyed by Vesuvius-911.

As time would go on, unknown to Anderson, some of these major places would become renovated with scavenged parts, creating a ramshackle appearance. Yet all would stay away from where the Meteorite's impact point was, an area later known as the Shivering Sea, which was within Europe. The wastelands of the North East had become bumpy and scattered with pockets of high and low radiation levels, all enclosed by the Radiation Sentinels that gathered around them. Small collectives of irradiated water scatter the area.

All these factors would scar Anderson into believing that there was no hope for humanity and that he was his race's last survivor. Now he was cut off from the Human race, Anderson found himself deserted, detached, alone and saddened. Emotionally haunted by this time, he entered a darker period of his life spattered by a crude cynicism, and guilt, where he tended to act pessimistically and act rudely to those who rubbed him the wrong way. He found an appropriate hatred towards the Black Mark for their destructive nature towards other races, and felt that he should keep all races that are close to extinction safe, in order to pay back the planet he couldn't save; Earth.

Despite this, as time continued, he remained light-heartened and friendly towards anyone he liked, slowly reasserting himself into society again, while burying the memories of his home planet away in his mind.

And after seeing what had come of his home planet, he fled to the Jafasian homeland, Jafasa, after emergency time travelling. After this moment, he vowed that no species would ever have the same fate as his home planet and intern, he spent years looking for people to save and helping those in need, and staying away from the war time events of the Black Mark and the Bluemoon. He made a legacy for himself as "the Minute-Man", "the Wanderer", "The Lonely Angel" and "The Grey Fox". He had many adventures, over a six month period, saving planets and helping certain people. He discovered the colony planets, but saw them all as in-superior, and below him; he was a true human.

He'd remain with this corrupt outlook until finally meeting Samuel Luthor for the first time since the destruction of Earth. He met Samuel Luthor, who'd now joined the Bluemoon, and together they joined forces, unwillingly for both. Samuel wanted to keep an eye on Anderson, worried and believing he could help win the battle against the Black Mark. Anderson wanted to keep an eye on Samuel as he'd previously believed he was the last human being ever.

The Alternate Universe
After escaping from his supposed death when the Crucible fell, destroying Earth, Anderson was once again alone and bereaved, believing that his friends were dead. It was during this time, that he tried to remain jovial, and ignorant of the events of the Crucible. But, after six months of adventuring alone, he finally met Arno Frey who held him at gun point for leaving them.

Unknown to Arno, Anderson had actually been encountered by the Prophet, who freed him from his bonds to death, by telling him to save himself. Where Anderson had argued he wanted to save his friends too, the Prophet forced Anderson to leave after showing him an alternate future that did not have Anderson there to save it.

Personality
Anderson is seen to be a highly compassionate man who cares deeply for his friends, Samuel Luthor and Arno Frey, so much so that he broke the rules of time to save Samuel Luthor from his inevitable death. He also wanted to save the past from an apocalyptic world that was to be caused by a meteorite named Vesuvius-911.

He also tried to save the near future from the Black Mark, but incidentally allowed the Darkwater Imperium to rise, but died too early before he could stop them. Anderson even stopped the corrupt Smallworlds Time Agency from coming to the future, alongside Netherwest who had supposedly died, but Anderson refused to allow this to happen even if it meant destroying himself in the process. But, Anderson survived, after Arno Frey sacrificed himself for him, taking Netherwest back into his own time and cutting off the link between their time and present day.

Seeking revenge on Smallworlds and the Black Mark, Anderson hunted Netherwest and Drifton throughout time in an attempt to kill them before Drifton could rise to power, and to make sure Netherwest died, but he failed to do so on his own, leading him to end up being killed by a younger Arno Frey on the planet Eknodis.

Anderson Winters is heavily loyal, youthful, energetic, friendly, childlike, and very human when compared with other characters. But Anderson suffers deeply with his loneliness and anger, his hyperactivity and his in-sensitiveness towards others. At times, he can be frequently appearing to love life, but when pushed, he reveals a darker side to his personality.

Equipment
Anderson rarely uses his blaster (based on a M1911 Style weapon), and prefers to use his telescopic baton for handling threats, or his advanced combat experience. Therefore, he mainly uses his Void Operator, and his baton, keeping his overall equipment variations, very simple.
