Roaming the Badlands, looting scrapyards, raiding fuel depots - life on the road wasn't easy. But growing up in a nomad clan has its perks. The nomadic lifestyle is hard, but you and your clan maintain strong family bonds. Honesty, integrity, and a love of freedom - qualities that few in Night City possess, and no amount of money can buy.
You are all crammed into a huge, ragtag fleet of cars, vans, buses and RV's, your nomad pack roams the freeways. You look for supplies, odd jobs and spare parts in the world where society has fragmented. The pack is your home - it has teachers, med techs, leaders, and mechanics - it's virtually a town on wheels in which everyone is related by marriage or kinship. So why are you all stuck on the outskirts of Night City?
- Equipment: A bedroll, a set of traveler's clothes, a blanket, an ink pen and vial of ink, a journal of your previous travels, a trinket from your travels, and a credit chip with $500
You always know where you can get access to a car garage, a machinist shop, a robotics lab, or other similar facilities. When you work on a machine or vehicle with other mechanics nearby, they will speculate about what’s broken, tell you about mistakes you’re making, and assist you with the project. You always know where to find the parts needed for vehicle modifications, weapon accessories, and other equipment, no matter how obscure
Suggested Characteristics
The first nomads were farmers forced to leave their land by a series of natural disasters, wars and corporate machinations. They moved out, gathering in larger and larger groups, hoping to find a better home for their families. But what they saw on their journeys across the States convinced them they were better off staying on the move.
