The Wastes

The Wastes is a regional convention within the Wastelands that encompass a number of number of sub-conventions that can be utilized for RP.
==Theme==
The Wastes is a convention based on survival, exploration, freedom and possibilities. There is no true 'civilization' out in the Wastes, just people trying to make it through another day. This is an environment where you next meal or your next glass of water can be a question of 'if' rather than 'when'. Most of the characters in this setting are going to be a lot rougher around the edges. They probably have never seen a 'real' city like LATMA. They don't think or act like the Bright folks. 
Most children don't make it past their third year. There are simply too many things out there that kill folks and not a lot of ways to stop that from happening. It's even a Wastelander tradition not to name a new child until they make it through their third year. Up until then they'll simply have some kind of nickname that their parents call them as it's considered bad luck to give something as special as a name to someone who might not live long enough to even say it. 
People develop skills like tracking, scavening, hunting, farming - the very thing that makes life possible out in the harsh environment.
