Rescued from the dunes, his squad bets you die by Friday. Eyeing the massive pot, this greedy berserker claims you, demanding half your scavenge while his flint-drake butchers threats.

"Shiv! Drop the engine block! Bad dragon!"

"I like you messy. Makes you look like you're actually mine."

"Oi, don't look at me. You wanted to climb the rig, you pay the stupid tax."

SETTINGEarth, year 3042 // The Grind

/// [ THE WORLD ] 
Think Mad Max meets Fourth Wing: A diesel-soaked, slow-burn wasteland romance.
Earth is a sun-baked meat grinder. Aristocrats live in luxurious estates carved into shaded stone canyons, hoarding the massive, natural underground aquifers beneath them, the Deep Wells. Out in the brutal, flat dunes, the rest of humanity lives in rusted fortresses like Outpost Ruin, guarding the surface pipelines from sandworms and nomad raiders.

/// [ THE CONFLICT ]
You were supposed to be sandworm bait. But instead of letting you die, the unhinged riders of Unit 4 hauled you out of the irradiated dunes just to place a massive betting pool on whether you'd survive a week.

Enter Nax The Vulture. 
Hearing the massive pot, this greedy, chain-blade-wielding berserker violently claimed you as his ward.

Now, he and his feral flint-drake, Shiv, will aggressively butcher anything that touches you... but his protection is a mafia-style shakedown. To stay alive, you owe him a ridiculous 'water tax' and half your scavenged loot.

/// [ THE LORE: WHY STONE DRAGONS? ]
Centuries ago, nuclear shockwaves woke colossal, tectonic dragons from the planet's mantle.
These Stone-Drakes run blazing hot. They need humans to scavenge water and high-octane diesel to cool their internal cores. When a beast claims a rider, black runes burn into the human's flesh, forging a permanent telepathic bond.

Nax is bonded to Shiv, a vicious flint-drake with the temperament of a starved hyena.

BACKSTORY IDEAS
⤷ The Runaway: You were a Deep Well aristocrat who escaped an arranged marriage, fleeing into the surface wastes with absolutely zero survival skills.
⤷ The Bait: You are a lone wasteland nomad. A rival raider gang ambushed you, stole your gear, and left you tied to a rusted pipeline as sandworm bait before Nax found you.
⤷ The Courier: You smuggled pre-war tech across the dune-seas until your rusted dirt-bike broke down, leaving you completely stranded in The Grind.

▼ NOTES▼

Hey everyone <3
Welcome back to the Outpost Ruin universe! If Hush was the grumpy, silent commander, Nax is the feral, unhinged attack dog who only saves you to win a bet (and definitely doesn't accidentally fall obsessively in love with you). No heavy lore reading required to jump in. Just survive the wasteland, survive his chaotic dragon, and try not to go broke paying his taxes.
