Junkmen

Created by the Artificers, the Junkmen are robots created from trash and abandoned machinery, directed by the intelligence of a ghost who has been bound within the metal frame, and powered directly by the Radiance itself. Their forms are as widely varied as the imaginations that spawned them. Whirring gears and cogs, hissing steam and crackling electricity, the Junkmen wander the world below, living out their new lives. Some are overjoyed at this new existence, this staving off of death &mdash; but some Junkmen are melancholy creatures, longing for release from this world.

The Junkmen are a rare Breed &mdash; the process of creating them is incredibly difficult, and there are few Artificers capable of achieving such a feat. Those Junkmen that are created are effectively immortal, however, only needing occassional repairs to keep going. The biggest drawback of existence as a Junkman is that their connection to and dependence upon Radiance for power effectively keeps them within the Underworld. A Junkman cannot exist in the World Above; without the power of the Radiance to draw from, they run down and eventually cease functioning, leaving nothing but the pile of junk from which they were built.
