Steampunk Gentry out of place and out of time!
Jonas was born into a well off family, the son of a miner. He was an inventor at a young age always tinkering and making things, combining chemicals and stones to find out what exploded. His enthusiasm for science never faultered as he grew up, being an expert machinist, though he was skilled to some degree in all levels of science. One day while escavating with several others he discovered a man in a cave, badly burned and barely alive. The man was taken to hospital. Shortly after he broke free and went on a rampage of chaos. Jonas took it upon himself to stop the man, blaming himself for being the one to bring him to the surface.
Thus began a lengthy series of battles of machine and intellect, contraptions smashed and property damaged. One day Gentry was launched off into space, to escape to another world, but Jonas persued relentlessly.
