− | === | + | === Rozalyn "Roz" Wright (PC) === |
− | A Hauler who's following in her father's footsteps, Rozalyn "Roz" Wright took to driving as soon as she could get her feet to the pedals. She got shifted to being the main driver at the age of 18, her dad realizing that she could handle the car as well as he could. A year or so after Roz started driving, her dad decided to expand his hauling. He could afford a few more trucks and some more crews. While Roz didn't like this much, she was definitely happy when she got her own truck out of the deal. Now, she's looking to haul whatever she wants, however she wants. | + | * A Hauler who's following in her father's footsteps, Rozalyn "Roz" Wright took to driving as soon as she could get her feet to the pedals.

− | === | + | === Church === |
− | Named after the place the scavengers found him. Church had been living in the ruins of the city using his wits and telepathy to keep out of reach. Warily, he took a liking to a band of scavengers and followed them back to their 'stead. Though tolerated, he knew he was never completely welcome at the 'stead. Only a few of the original scavengers, particularly an old sentinel named Skeve had any time for Church. Skeve had few ways to connect with others, so he took Church under his wing and passed on all he knew of warfare. When Skeve died of a lung mite infection, Church knew it was time to go. Now he travels from place to place chasing bounties and fighting on the walls as a merc. I can see Church travelling around with a vehicle orientated partner in crime. If anyone with that a driver type of character wants an ally on board, I am keen as | + | * Named after the place the scavengers found him.

=== Badside === | === Badside === | ||
− | A walled enclosure on the eastern side of the polluted river crawling through the wreckage of a vast and ruined city, Badside serves as a staging area for groups of scavengers heading deeper into the urban sprawl in search of salvage. It is considered a sanctuary from the cannibal ghouls ''(and other - unspeakable - creatures)'' that roam the dead metropolis, but scavengers pay for this protection through extortionate taxes on anything of value that they might recover from the rubble. <br> | + | * A walled enclosure on the eastern side of the polluted river crawling through the wreckage of a vast and ruined city, Badside serves as a staging area for groups of scavengers heading deeper into the urban sprawl in search of salvage.

− | Few would willingly choose to live beyond the wall, but there are small, isolated pockets of civilization across the city. The sewers are overrun with ravenous morlocks, and their is always work for those brave or desperate enough to descend into the foetid tunnels to purge the darkness of these mutated wretches. | + | * Few would willingly choose to live beyond the wall, but there are small, isolated pockets of civilization across the city.

=== Fort Penance === | === Fort Penance === | ||
− | Once a fortified prison facility, now a crumbling bastion of corruption and brutality, this grim and isolated bartertown is governed by the remorseless Warden, a terrible man whom even the local raider bands fear to cross. The Fort maintains a functional generator, powering ''(amongst other, more mundane appliances)'' the electric chair frequently used to execute those who have fallen out of the Warden's favour. Such spectacles often draw large crowds of enthusiastic spectators. | + | * Once a fortified prison facility, now a crumbling bastion of corruption and brutality, this grim and isolated bartertown is governed by the remorseless Warden, a terrible man whom even the local raider bands fear to cross.

=== Skin Market === | === Skin Market === | ||
− | Never settling in one location for more than a couple of days at a time, the Skin Market travels around the Wasteland, peddling its wares to those rich and wicked enough to indulge in the slavery of their fellow man. The Skin Market buys prisoners from bands of raiders, brands them as slaves and then sells them on for a profit. Men, women and children - even animals - can be haggled over and bought, for a price. <br> | + | * Never settling in one location for more than a couple of days at a time, the Skin Market travels around the Wasteland, peddling its wares to those rich and wicked enough to indulge in the slavery of their fellow man.

− | The guiding hand behind the Skin Market is an obscenely fat man called Rollo Hutt. He dwells within an enormous tent sewn from the flesh of over 100 slaves, killed and skinned for this singular purpose. He is always surrounded by a harem of hollow eyed women upon whom he often exercises his sick, sexual deprivations. | + | * The guiding hand behind the Skin Market is an obscenely fat man called Rollo Hutt.

− | A dilapidated resort town along the grey coastline, plagued by pirates and the clakkers lairing in the neighbouring sea-caves. A complicated communications array has been set up atop the crumbling lighthouse, and this development has disturbed a murder of dire gulls nesting in the ruined tower. | + | * A dilapidated resort town along the grey coastline, plagued by pirates and the clakkers lairing in the neighbouring sea-caves.
