Dead to Rights

The world is gone. It took 4 1/2 years to be able to surface again; it's been nearly ten years since then. The Earth is still here... but it's not the same.

Appearance: A tall man in a dark grey robe, seven feet in height, with a dark black gasmask. Underneath his robes, he wears some light environmental protection gear designed to keep the hostile enviroment of the wastes from doing overmuch harm. As for his physical appearance, he is completely bald, with blue, artificial eyes. Further, much of his torso and his entire left limb has been replaced by cybernetics, dark grey in appearance, and rather thin. Last, he wears a number of ... trinkets. Rings and medalions and such.

Personality: Inker is rather witty, enjoying banter. He is a master planner, with the ability to think on multiple levels at once. He tends to be irreverent of danger, considering the opposition and survival in general to be a game. However, he holds himself, and by extension, the entire Dark Inquisition, to a high moral standard. However, he is not above asking for pay if the job calls for it.

Of course, it isn't all happy daisy. Inker has a extreme longing for the days prior to The End, and seeks to bring back that long lost Golden Age, whatever means necessary. He will stop at nothing in his quest.

Biography: Born before The End, Iggy was just a simple scientist. He built devices, designed doodahs, researched doodads. He worked at a research firm in Beijing, designing cybernetic prostetics. He had a wife, kids, he was happy.

Then the End Came. Fleeing underground, into a special bunker, he waited, designing, tinkering, working. The strain was nearly unbearable, the pressure, the worry, the fear mixing together, putting him on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Luckily, his family was there to keep him sane and, if not happy, content with his lot.

However, his world came crashing down once more when a virus infiltrated the bunker. Killing off 25% of its inhabitants, his wife was among the victims. Driven to despair, he buried himself in his work, ignoring his remaining child, leaving her in the care of his sister.

When they emerged, they found life completely different. Doing their best to adapt, they utilized constructs powered by the sun to to till the fields, dig underground residences, and collect the material necessary to make survival gear. Like before, they were content.

Until a group of raiders came, burning the village to the ground. Inker's daughter was taken and...

Well, lets not go there, shall we?

Anyhoo, Inker, in a fit of rage, modified a construct, designing it to combat the raiders. Marching into the camp, it destroyed every last raider.

Slowly, the village rebuilt. But Inker was a shell of a man. After losing his daughter, his wife, he had nothing to live for. So, one day, he walked into the wastes, seeking death.

But fate had other plans. He stumbled into a village that was suffering a drought. Now, as much as he wanted to die, he knew he couldn't leave these people to die of thirst. So, he took a few weeks, designed a water collector. Of course, then he learned that the roads were messed up, so he built a construct to fix them. Then he learned that they were having energy concerns...

It continued like this for years. Slowly, he healed inside, but he never truly came to terms with his families deaths. Until he came upon a booklet from before the end. The booklet described the various wonders of the old world. Twas called a 'catalog'. Reading it brought back memories, memories of barbecues, computer surfing, swimming, of the days before the end.

He had, objectively, knew how far humanity had fallen. It was the first time he realized it personally, however. Humanity had once been great! It had once been mighty! Now it was fighting over the dead corpse of civilization!

Realizing this, he set out to bring back that long lost golden age, through whatever means possible. He searched, again and again, for the key to doing so. Eventually, it occurred to him. Technology. Technology could be used to bring back civilization. With that in mind, Inker set out to create an organization dedicated to bringing back technology.

However, this was easier said than done. He had half a dozen false starts, with each attempt petering out to nothing, until he encountered a group of degenerate mutant cultists. Worshiping technology, these tribes were easy converts for the charismatic techie. Using them, he established what would come to be known as the Dark Inquisition, a cult worshiping technology, specifically, the Machine God.

Traveling the wastes, his band grew. However, they would always be a small, insignificant cult on a single continent...

Until he found the Red Byrd. Repairing and upgrading it, he set sail, and began using it as a hub for his faction. Now, he had a way to spread his gospel world wide.

What year, on site, did the world end?
