“The Walking Furnace” Character Brief
The furnace/oven was built by Baba Yaga, that ancient witch of Russian folklore, who used it to cook children.
It was an ordinary stove/oven/furnace until a young Russian noble attempted to set Baba Yaga’s hut on fire. In retaliation, Baba Yaga stole the soul of the noble’s unborn son and placed it deep within the stove, to fuel the fires that would never die – and give the stove sentience, the ability to move.
The walking furnace has never known of its humanity. From its perspective it was born a stove. The stove was trained to follow the orders of Baba Yaga, without thought or conscious. Its mystic origins makes it nigh invincible, it has lived for over 600 years. It does not have any kind of proper name, Baba Yaga calls it “Ka-Meen” (Russian for “fireplace”) when she is feeling affectionate and “Pyech” (Russian for “oven”) when she is in a bad mood.
Description: it’s a pot bellied cast iron stove with a stone brick chimney. The bricks are red – there is a degree of back soot accumulation, thickest at the chimney top. Cast iron is black, with tooled/hammer marks. At the back – just at the point where the chimney meets the cast iron is a shoulder and set of arms made of duct work. These arms are jointed in such a way that the furnace can direct blasts of super hot air in specific directions. The entire structure, chimney included, stands about 9 feet tall. It has 4 legs which is uses for localized locomotion, and it can use blasts of hot air for additional boosts of speed – including a long distance power jump (arms pointed straight down).
