Collectors

Collectors travel to Wastes to scavenge for useful resources, especially technological parts. Without factories or supply lines, trade and scavenging are the only ways to maintain modern technology. Because of paranoia, only the most trusted and well-trained individuals are allowed to become Collectors. They face many threats, such as remaining communities, collapsing buildings, and unexpected storms.
Collectors tend to work solitary or in small groups, doing their work while in constant fear of being ambushed or raided. They can be away from their homes for lengthy periods, sleeping in hidden shelters within their working grounds. The mortality is significant, so only severe brainwashing manages to keep morale high. This is part of why groups are kept small.
