Nomad
Ten years ago, corporations drove your family off the farm, and you joined a growing group of homeless families to form a Nomad pack. Now, your pack—comprised of nearly two hundred members—roams the freeways in a fleet of cars, vans, buses, and RVs. This mobile town on wheels has teachers, MedTechs, leaders, and mechanics, all related by marriage or kinship. You seek supplies, odd jobs, and spare parts in a fragmented society. Sometimes you trade labor for food or cash, while less lawful packs hire out as muscle in corporate wars. Your vehicles are armored and armed, every kid knows how to use a rifle, and everyone packs a knife. Life as a Nomad is tough, but you thrive in this world.
The most visible Nomads are Scouts—leather-armored riders on bikes or fast muscle cars who protect the convoy and find safe campsites. As a Scout, you navigate through trouble, whether it's rival packs, law enforcement, or corporate enforcers. Like a modern-day cowboy, you ride the hard trail with your gun and bike, embodying the Nomad spirit.
