On October 1, 1989, 43 women around the world give birth simultaneously, despite none of them showing any sign of pregnancy until labor began. Thirteen of the children are adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and turned into a superhero team through what he calls "The Umbrella Academy". Hargreeves gives the children numbers rather than names but they eventually are named by their nanny robot mother, Grace.
The other thirty children born that day under these unusual circumstances were either raised by their families, given to others or abandoned by their unprepared mothers. Thirty years later, with a few exceptions, most of these children have grown into adults possessing special skills and abilities.
This gpsl is an AU version of the events in the Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy. Plot points will be altered in order to allow for a larger cast and may be revamped entirely. This story is about one family saving the world from themselves and the others like them. It will begin with the death of Reginald Hargreeves and pick up with the adult characters at that point. There will be posts available for telling stories at different points in the timeline, such as when they were younger.
