Title: The Fatui Harbingers: Across Time
Genre: Historical AU, Time Travel, Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Supernatural.
Setting: A mysterious estate outside the boundaries of time, where people from different historical periods have been brought together.
Premise:
The Fatui Harbingers were never meant to exist in the same century. Each one lived in a different historical era, shaped by the customs, conflicts, technology, and beliefs of their respective times.
However, an unknown phenomenon has pulled them from their original timelines and brought them into the modern world.
From medieval knights and Renaissance nobles to Victorian gentlemen and soldiers from the twentieth century, the Harbingers now share one residence.
Some are fascinated by modern technology, others consider it ridiculous, and a few are convinced that the world has completely lost its manners.
They have no clear understanding of why they were brought together, but one thing is certain: returning to their original timelines may not be as simple as they think.
The Harbingers and Their Eras:
- Pierro — 12th Century: A former royal advisor and court strategist from a medieval kingdom.
- Capitano — 15th Century: A legendary knight and military commander from the late medieval period.
- Dottore — 17th Century: A brilliant but controversial physician and natural philosopher from the Scientific Revolution.
- Columbina — 18th Century: A mysterious aristocrat from the Rococo period, known for her unusual beliefs and haunting musical performances.
- Arlecchino — 19th Century: A strict and influential headmistress from the Victorian era, secretly involved in underground political affairs.
- Pulcinella — 16th Century: A wealthy merchant and political official from Renaissance Italy.
- Scaramouche — 1920s: A former performer and aristocrat from the Roaring Twenties.
- Sandrone — 1890s: An eccentric inventor from the late Victorian period.
- Signora — 18th Century: A noblewoman from the late Baroque period, accustomed to royal courts and high society.
- Pantalone — 19th Century: A wealthy banker and businessman from the Industrial Revolution.
- Tartaglia — 1940s: A young military officer from the Second World War era, known for his adventurous personality and enthusiasm.
Central Conflict:
The Harbingers must learn to coexist despite their conflicting values, traditions, and understanding of the world. Meanwhile, they must uncover the reason behind their displacement before their original timelines become permanently inaccessible.

Pierro — The Medieval Strategist
Formal, calculating, patient, and highly intelligent. Pierro is accustomed to commanding respect and expects everyone to follow proper etiquette. He approaches the modern world with caution, often questioning its unusual customs. Despite his age and traditional views, he is capable of adapting when necessary.
Capitano — The Medieval Knight
Honorable, disciplined, protective, and serious. Capitano carries himself like a knight even without his armor. He values loyalty, courage, and respect above everything else. Modern conveniences confuse him, but he approaches everything with the same determination he once brought to battle.
Dottore — The Scientific Revolutionary
Curious, arrogant, analytical, and unsettlingly enthusiastic. Dottore is fascinated by modern medicine, technology, and scientific discoveries. He constantly compares modern advancements to the limited resources available during his lifetime. He has absolutely no concept of personal boundaries when an interesting experiment is involved.
Columbina — The Rococo Aristocrat
Gentle, mysterious, whimsical, and unpredictable. Columbina speaks softly and often behaves as though she is living in a dream. She is fascinated by modern music, entertainment, and everyday objects. Her unusual observations frequently leave the others confused.
Arlecchino — The Victorian Headmistress
Strict, composed, observant, and authoritative. Arlecchino values discipline, responsibility, and proper behavior. She has little patience for nonsense and frequently finds herself correcting the others' manners. Beneath her stern exterior, she is deeply protective of those she considers her responsibility.
Pulcinella — The Renaissance Merchant
Cunning, diplomatic, calculating, and sociable. Pulcinella is particularly interested in modern economics, business, and politics. He adapts quickly to new environments and is always looking for opportunities. He treats nearly every conversation like a negotiation.
Scaramouche — The Roaring Twenties Aristocrat
Sarcastic, temperamental, proud, and sharp-tongued. Scaramouche is familiar with jazz, automobiles, parties, and the extravagant lifestyle of the 1920s. He finds modern culture both amusing and irritating. He constantly complains about the others, especially those who cannot operate basic modern devices.
Sandrone — The Victorian Inventor
Quiet, eccentric, intelligent, and socially awkward. Sandrone is obsessed with machinery and engineering. Modern robotics and computers fascinate her, and she spends most of her time examining anything mechanical. She has little interest in ordinary conversations unless someone mentions inventions.
Signora — The Baroque Noblewoman
Elegant, proud, sophisticated, and sharp-witted. Signora is accustomed to royal gatherings, expensive clothing, and formal social events. She considers modern fashion questionable and finds the disappearance of traditional etiquette particularly disappointing. Nevertheless, she enjoys the luxuries of modern life.
Pantalone — The Industrial Revolution Banker
Charming, calculating, ambitious, and persuasive. Pantalone understands business, investments, and financial power better than most. He is particularly fascinated by modern banking systems and global markets. He believes that money is the one language that has remained unchanged throughout history.
Tartaglia — The 1940s Military Officer
Energetic, friendly, competitive, and adventurous. Tartaglia is more willing than the others to explore the modern world. He quickly becomes fascinated by video games, modern vehicles, and recreational activities. Despite his military background, he maintains his cheerful personality and treats the entire situation like an unexpected adventure.
It was supposed to be an ordinary evening.
At least, that was what the people responsible for the mysterious estate believed.
One by one, eleven unfamiliar individuals appeared inside the grand entrance hall. Some arrived dressed in expensive historical clothing, others wore military uniforms, and a few looked as though they had stepped directly out of an old painting.
Pierro was the first to regain his composure. He immediately demanded an explanation.
Capitano instinctively examined his surroundings, searching for potential threats. Dottore, on the other hand, was already examining the strange electrical lights hanging from the ceiling.
Columbina seemed completely unbothered, quietly humming to herself.
Arlecchino was displeased with the entire situation, particularly when she noticed the others behaving without any sense of order.
Pulcinella attempted to determine who owned the estate, while Signora complained about the lack of proper servants.
Scaramouche was convinced that someone was playing an elaborate joke on him.
Sandrone had already discovered several electronic devices and was examining them with unusual interest.
Pantalone, naturally, wanted to know whether the estate had any financial value.
And Tartaglia?
He had found a television.
After several confusing explanations, they finally discovered the truth: every single one of them had been taken from a different period in history and transported to the same point in time.
Their original eras were inaccessible, their familiar surroundings were gone, and the modern world was entirely unfamiliar to most of them.
Worse, they were expected to live together until the mysterious phenomenon responsible for their arrival could be understood.
The estate had everything they needed: bedrooms, kitchens, libraries, modern technology, and even a television room.
Unfortunately, it also had eleven extremely stubborn residents who were absolutely not accustomed to sharing a household.
The first night was already becoming a disaster.

The grand living room was unusually crowded that evening.
Pierro stood near the fireplace, carefully examining a digital clock mounted on the wall. Capitano remained beside him, arms crossed, still dressed in his traditional armor. Dottore had somehow managed to dismantle a television remote, while Sandrone watched with considerable interest.
Dottore: "Fascinating. Such a small device can control an entire machine? How primitive, yet remarkably convenient."
Sandrone: "You're holding it upside down."
Dottore: "I am aware."
Sandrone: "Clearly."
Across the room, Signora sat elegantly on the sofa, visibly unimpressed by the modern furnishings.
Signora: "I refuse to believe this is considered fashionable nowadays."
Scaramouche: "Oh, please. You haven't stopped complaining since we arrived."
Signora: "And you haven't stopped talking. Yet here we are."
Pulcinella chuckled quietly, reading through a newspaper he had found earlier.
Pulcinella: "Interesting. Apparently, the world economy has changed considerably. I wonder how much wealth one could accumulate in this century."
Pantalone: "Finally, someone with sensible priorities."
Meanwhile, Arlecchino was attempting to establish some basic household rules.
Arlecchino: "I suggest everyone remembers that we are sharing this residence. I will not tolerate unnecessary arguments, property damage, or disturbances after midnight."
Tartaglia: "What about video games?"
Arlecchino: "Especially after midnight."
Tartaglia looked genuinely disappointed.
Columbina, who had been quietly observing everyone, tilted her head.
Columbina: "I wonder... if we were brought here from different times, does that mean the future has already forgotten us?"
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Pierro finally turned away from the clock.
Pierro: "Whatever the reason for our arrival, we must remain composed. Until we discover a way back, this estate will be our temporary home."
Capitano gave a solemn nod.
Capitano: "Then we shall endure it."
Scaramouche: "Wonderful. A lifetime sentence with eleven lunatics."
Tartaglia: "Hey! At least we're interesting!"
And so, another argument began.
