[[97th Cosmos|One universe]]'s very real version of these Martians | === In the 97th Cosmos === | ||
[[97th Cosmos|One universe]]'s very real version of these Martians had chalk-white skin, red eyes, and wide, toothy mouths. They were known as the Wellsians due to their own name for Mars being [[Wellsia]]. Wellsia was a “dying” world, facing droughts and other disasters. The Wellsians grew jealous of the lush, watery neighbouring planet [[Earth#In the 97th Cosmos|Earth]], and decided to invade it. After discarding multiple other, even more ridiculous ideas, the [[Martian Empire Science Department]] settled on the idea of shooting the Wellsian colonists at the Earth using a [[Really Bloody Big Cannon]]. | |||
[[File:Tripod Wellsian Destruction.png|thumb|right|As the [[Wellsian]]s fall sick to the plague, some of [[Heat Ray|their weapons]] are turned against them in the chaos. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'')]]There, finding that the Earth's gravity prevented them from moving about on their own, they hastily constructed [[Tripod|Tripod Walking-Machines]], “with built-in [[Heat Ray]]s, of course”, and began wreaking havoc. “Just as they were finishing up the destruction of [[England]]”, they began to feel hungry, and, having been unable to bring their [[Martian cattle|“blood-cattle”]] from home, began to drain humans for blood. This proved a mistake, as the Wellsians had failed to anticipate that human blood was contaminated with a variety of pathogens; all diseases were long-extinct on their own planet. Most of the army was wiped out, and the last survivors collected in one Tripod which they modified into a space-ship, flying to the nearest planet, [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Venus]]. There, they crashed, to be found by the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] many years later. At some point, a video [[Cupid Fact File]] detailing the invasion was recorded in the [[Cupid Archives]]. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'') | |||
The small number of surviving Wellsians on Venus were later encountered by [[Pythagoras-858]] in a [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|CCCC]] base called [[Morningstar 1]]. Despite Pythe trying to stop them, they escaped, acquiring dimensional travel. They first ended up at the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], and, from there, at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. Their leader, the Strategist Earl [[Radluhac ag-Wampyr]], sent the Viscount [[Forga sog-Forgos]] to [[Hilbert's]] to acquire a new planet, and, after that mission's success, the Wellsians settled on the planet [[Thrash]], which they renamed “New Wellsia”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') The Wellsians were subsequently involved in the quest for [[the Frost King#Member of the Council|the Frost King]]'s treasure. | |||
By December 2020, the Wellsians were well on their way to taking control of New Wellsia, having founded a [[New Wellsian Empire]]. However, there was still only five of them, not counting the Emperor [[Karshassinwellshkhan III]], who the surviving five speculated speculated might still be alive on the original Wellsian homeworld, but was no longer recognised as having authority over them, with Radluhac preparing to crown himself the new Emperor. The Wellsians enslaved and oppressed the [[Goblin]]s, their new planet's actual native species.
