Scavenger: While normally loners who live on the edge of vast ruined cities, or among the wrecks of former battlefields and industrial zones, scavengers are commonly encountered by excavators and nomadic traders, who will barter with these wasteland hermits. Typically, scavengers will trade important information about a local stretch of ruins or road in return for food, tobacco, marijuana or booze. On some occasions, travelers might discover that the scavenger has a mate, and one or more children. These kids grow up to be resourceful, half wild things themselves, but because of their exposure to dig teams, many develop an obsession with both the caste of diggers and the distant towns and barter forts the ruin looters come from.
