In this world, superhumans have appeared, and an organization called the PRF (or Paranormal Research Foundation) has created life like androids as special agents. Each one with their own specialties. The world is set in 2079, and small bands of "heroes" and "villains" have been made. The PRF and other organizations maintain the stability and control over said "heroes," though that won't be important to the story.
An old one is Omega, the first Android.
2nd, Zetia, a heavily armored and weaponized Android used for brute force and more violent missions.
3rd, Meta, an all use engineer Android, built with tons of spare parts to be able to create new weapons and fix other Androids on the spot.
4th, Epsilon, a sniper of grace, with night vision, thermal vision, and incredible accuracy
5th, Alpha, an all use Android, heavy weapons, extreme intelligence, strength, durability, almost anything you can think.
other characters
Vanessa, a Purple haired woman with one purple feathered wing. she can control each feather individually, though she doesn't have much control in that department and mostly uses it to fly. Also, she only has one real wing. The other is mechanical.
Organizations
The previously stated PRF are a group dedicated to finding and researching superhumans and their abilities. Why did they make the androids is unknown.
Genesis, a terrorist organization hellbent on bringing down the PRF and making superhumans more free and able to use their abilities, however, and whenever.
Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead.
A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers.
Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future.
But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions.

This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired.
Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
