| - The son of immigrants from India, Arinkindular was born in Boston roughly thirty years before the Great War in Massachusetts. Push hard by his parents, he would graduate high school at the top of his class and attend CIT. A brilliant programmer, Arinkindular secured a job with General Atomics International just prior to graduation and seamless transitioned into the company when he finally did. Over the next few years, everything in his life went right. He had a well-paying job he enjoyed, he had a girlfriend that he loved, and his future looked bright. In 2072, Arinkindular's world was turned upside down. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, his parents announced that they had facilitated an arranged marriage with a family back in India, and that his bride would be arriving in the United States within weeks. Tejesh, obviously, was not interested in the arcane traditions of his parents and refused. Neither side relented as the weeks passed and the proposed day of the wedding got closer. The day eventually came and went, leading to a massive breakdown in relations between Arinkindular, his family, his American girlfriend and her family, and his Indian bride-to-be and her family. Not able to deal with the ordeal, Tejesh cut ties with everyone and everything in his life, suddenly moving out west to Portland, Oregon. By all accounts, Tejesh Arinkindular was miserable over the next couple of years. He was able to secure a transfer within General Atomics International, but his new job was well below his skill level and out of his comfort zone. He went from being a Research and Development coder to selling Mr. Handy and Ms. Nanny parts and units door-to-door. He was able to find a wife, but the development was completely unexpected and unintentional. After a drunk rendezvous with a regular at a local bar he sometimes unwinded at resulted in her pregnancy, Arinkindular did the right thing and married her, ensuring that the baby would be supported. In October 2077, Arinkindular begrudgingly attended a weekend camping get-away in the Sky Lakes wilderness area, organized by General Atomics International for salesmen and secretaries working in Portland. That Saturday morning, at roughly 6:30 PST, nuclear warheads rained down on America. Major cities to the north, south, and east were all hit, and though the Sky Lakes wilderness was not directly hit itself, massive wildfires and tectonic events devastated the 115,000 acres of forest, mountains, and lakes. Most of the 50-or-so General Atomics International salesmen and secretaries survived that hellish weekend. Three died in a rockfall, and one killed herself when she realized the severity of the situation. Tejesh Arinkindular survived the event, though, in the process, he lost sight in one of his eyes and broke a leg and developed a bad limp when the limb healed poorly. As the survivors mulled what to do, the radioactive rain and toxic fallout fell from the skies, causing more deaths. When all was said and done, roughly ten members of the original group died.
