Backstory
During the Great War that caused the apocalypse, Initivate forces began running out of men. To counter this, they would take wounded or injured soldiers and place them within heavy iron suits which would sustain them. Now after the war is over they stagger through the streets, half alive, half dead, searching for hostile mobs.

Inspiration
My primary inspiration for the Burn warriors was Bioshock. I wanted to create something that was a bit differant, and with a bit of backstory. The Burn Warrior was the result.
