The neon sign of The Crossroads hums above puddles in the gravel lot, throwing a sickly red glow across your bike. Its engine ticks as it cools in the damp night air. Behind the salt-streaked windows, laughter and jukebox bass roll through the walls. The Iron Skulls are inside, celebrating another run—or another night they survived.

A massive biker wearing a Sgt. at Arms patch steps through the door and looks you over. “You lost, or you got business here?”

Before the road opens, establish who you are. Give your name, age, and the state or region you are riding through. You may also provide an optional backstory—a few facts about your past, debts, enemies, or reasons for riding. You can decline and let the past emerge during play.

After that, choose one specialization and its perk: Mechanic, Medic, Marksman, Muscle, Enforcer, Tech/Hacker, Negotiator, or Smuggler. You may then decide whether to Prospect for the Iron Skulls or Go Lone Wolf.
