Demolishes his enemies with modern technology.
Compared to magic, the study of natural law was much more consistent, but no less dangerous. From their subterranean laboratory, Boush and his colleagues opened a portal to a distant world, a Conveyance through which untold horrors began to pass into this realm. Laser cutting his way to freedom, Boush surfaced as the only Tinker to survive the Violet Plateau incident. Equipped with contraptions befitting a maniacal researcher, he launches Heat-Seeking Missiles from his shoulders, firing Warping Flares to dislocate his enemies. Unhindered by the delays of magic, the Tinker Rearms his deadly offensive gadgets and Defensive Matrices on the fly, wasting no time in demolishing anything that stands in his way.

Bio

[edit]
Victory is 10% inspiration, 90% decapitation!
▶️  Boush, the Tinker
Alias:
Boush
Boush the Tinker's diminutive race is known for its intelligence, its cunning, and its prickly relationship with magic. As a matter of pride, they survive by their wits, and use only those powers of nature that may be unlocked through rational methodologies. Even this forbearance has led to a great deal of trouble, as Boush can attest. Once a key investigator of natural law, Boush the Tinker led a vast intellectual investigation into the workings of nature, founding a subterranean laboratory in the rumored, mist-wreathed wastes of the Violet Plateau. While scorning mages for the dangers they visit upon the world, Boush and his Tinker associates haughtily wrenched open a portal to some realm beyond comprehension and ushered in some nightmares of their own. A black mist rose from the cavernous interior of the Violet Plateau, shrouding it in permanent darkness from which sounds of horror perpetually emanate. Boush escaped with only his wits and the contraptions he carried, the sole Tinker to survive the Violet Plateau Incident.

Trivia

[edit]
  • The Tinker's voice actor, Harry "Hal" Robins, also voiced Dr. Isaac Kleiner in Half-Life 2 and the scientists of Black Mesa in Half-Life. Many of Tinker's voice lines reference characters and events from the Half-Life universe. In addition, the name "Violet Plateau" is quite similar to "Black Mesa", and the events described in Tinker's backstory are remarkably similar to the events of Half-Life.
    • Tinker's responses upon killing Broodmother's Spiderlings ▶️ "Lamarr, is that you?" and ▶️ "Lamarr?!" are a reference to Dr. Kleiner's "debeaked" pet headcrab, Hedy Lamarr.
    • Many of Tinker's lines while using Rearm come directly from Half-Life 2 including ▶️ "The massless field flux should self-limit." and ▶️ "I've clamped the manifold parameters to… CY base and LG orbifold… Hilbert inclusive.".
    • Tinker's death response ▶️ "It's probably not a problem, probably." is also a reference to Dr. Kleiner, who says it in the beginning of Half Life's second chapter right before the equipment he and his team are working on suffers a catastrophical malfunction and causes the alien invasion of Black Mesa.
    • Tinker's select response ▶️ "With my brains and your brawn, we'll make an excellent team." is also a quote from Dr. Kleiner.
  • Tinker's respawn response ▶️ "I tink! Therefore I am!" is a reference to the philosophical statement "I think, therefore I am." proposed by René Descartes. Its original Latin words are "Cogito ergo sum."
  • Tinker's death response ▶️ "Tinker, failure…Soldier…Fie…" is a reference to the 1974 spy novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by British author John le Carré about George Smiley (who was played by Gary Oldman in the 2011 film adaptation).
  • Tinker's death response ▶️ "The machine, stops." is a reference to the short story of the same name by E.M. Forster.
  • Tinker's Laser kill response ▶️ "Blinded you, with Science!" is a reference to the song She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby.
