The four other lifestylesare the most common ones for the average adventurer, but they’re by no means the only backgrounds a character can have. The Wastelands are WEIRD, and there’s plenty of forgotten old stuff, and odd new stuff out there.

A young child could have been raised in a bunker, by a family that thought the world outside was still a glowing cinder. Until one day the food ran out, and the child, now grown, had to venture out into this strange new world…

A soldier could have been placed in cryogenic suspension, as part of an experiment or failsafe plan. Then either someone found her or the machinery kicked on a few days ago, and she found herself in the ruined future…

A slave could have been sold at an early age to a pit fighting arena. Raised in the harsh environment of blood and violence, he managed to survive until he could escape, and flee north...

The Wastelands are weird, and the people in it are stranger still. The possibilities are truly limitless, and the only guarantee each day brings is more strangeness.
