Approved Profiles: Loners

Stalkers that are unaffiliated with any organized faction in the Zone, loners are not only the most numerous of stalkers, but also the most diverse. These stalkers earn their money mainly by buying and selling scavenged equipment and artifacts, as well as the occasional odd job. However, many are not much higher ethically than bandits, and frequently resort to raids and armed robberies on other stalkers or groups. While loners are not bound together as a faction, most travel in squads and groups of varying organization and hierarchy. Due to their dispersion throughout the Zone, loners have no specific base or headquarters, but rather make their immediate area their home. Despite this, concentrations are always high at the rookie village in Cordon, as well as the shared Duty base in Rostok, where the 100 Rads Bar is located.
