Character

The Janitor

Created by MrTime

The Janitor was once a municipal sanitation worker in the sprawling megacity of New Meridian, a man so dedicated to his trade that when the government offered him a position maintaining the underground bunker systems during the Great Collapse, he accepted without hesitation—after all, someone had to keep those tunnels clean. For thirty years he scrubbed, swept, and maintained the sterile corridors beneath the earth, his beard growing long and wild, a single tear perpetually streaming down his weathered face from the day he learned the surface had been consumed by something unspeakable, something divine and digestive in nature. When the bunker's life support systems finally failed and he was forced to emerge, he found a world transformed into an endless expanse of brown filth and noxious miasma that would have broken lesser spirits, but The Janitor simply sighed, picked up his pickaxe, and began the work. While scientists wept over the loss of civilization and survivors retched at the pervasive stench, he treated the planet's catastrophic contamination as merely the largest mess he'd ever encountered—no different in principle from the day someone had clogged the main sewage line in Sector 7. His true neutral disposition meant he bore no grudge against the cosmic force that had wrought this ruin, nor did he harbor false hope that restoration was possible; he simply accepted that the work existed and that he was perhaps the only soul stubborn and experienced enough to attempt it. With nothing but his weathered coat, his resolve, and an unwavering commitment to tidying up after others' disasters, The Janitor set forth into the brown wasteland, ready to spend whatever remained of his life doing what he did best.
