Story
The truth? I don't have a story. Or, not a long one. About a year ago, I woke up in a battle the likes of which you've never seen. For one thing, everyone was dead. Not just most. Not just one side. Everyone but me. Guy my size ain't used to being the last one standing. Also, not so much blood as you would expect from a battle. But then, what else do you call it when that many people die all in the same place.

Well, I woke up, yah see, and not a scratch on me to note, and all these dead folks and dead machines, and rubble all around. And on top of that, I can't remember a thing. Not what I had for breakfast, and not my own mothers name, rest her soul. Sheesh! If she's even dead. I've no idea. I got myself up, had a quick look around, and decided it wasn't a place I wanted to spend much more time in. I gather up my things -- well, I say my things. They seemed like mine enough, and a bit of food and water that a dead man won't miss. -- and I make haste right down the road.

Not long until I find myself walking into a city I've never seen (as far as I know) and wondering if it's ever seen me. Wouldn't it be grand, yah say, if I should bump into my dear kin who welcome me with open arms to help me find all those memories I've lost.

Milestones

 * Never go back / The Device
 * Hawking has no idea what got him to that fateful night, but he's never been more sure of anything than wanting no part of it. Well, not that he can remember. At the same time, The Device draws on Hawking in the quiet, idle times when he often finds himself holding it without ever having thought to take it from its hiding place. What is it? And, how can he find out without risking more lives? The desire to know more, to know everything about his past is inescapable. His only hope is that repeating the past is not.
 * Hawking wants to both find out more about his past, primarily what surrounds The Device. At the same time, he wants to avoid getting entangled in the past. This last is a feeling of fear that he cannot explain.


 * Mastercraft
 * Hawking takes pride in his work and parts with it uneasily. He desires recognition. Monetary gain is a good measure of the worth of ones work, but praise from a peer or master can hold more weight. Hawking desires to be known and paid well for his handiwork.


 * Gatgeteer
 * Those gifted in Mechanika and Alchemy can devise tools, weapons and armor beyond those with one talent. Hawing thrives to create the perfect mixture of form and function. Nothing is more satisfying than a device performing perfectly as intended. Well, unless it outperforms all expectations.
