Typical Physical Indicators
^{_______________________________}

Rebuilders, are by no stretch of the imagination as dirty as Raiders, nor as clean as the Old Bloods or Spiritualists, but they're not afraid of rolling around in the dirt. Rebuilders are the workers. There isn't a stone that they won't erect, nor a muscle that they won't pull in attempts to get civilization back to just that: a civilized place. Clean clothes to Rebuilders are a luxury. Most of their belongings have rips and tears, and are caked with mud. However, those that are fortunate enough to procure a home just for themselves (that they don't occasionally have to share with a group of unruly Raiders, looking for some loot) manage to find a way to get their clothes clean... Whether that's by hand in the tub, or by a washing machine for those that are smarter, or more technology savvy.

Before the apocalypse, it wouldn't be too surprising that they were working middle class individuals. Never a stranger to physical labor, they continue on the path of repairing their homes, and the lands that they wish to settle on. A hard working people, however, need the ability to play just as hard. It is safe to say that some will look more weathered and harsh than others, while others might seem to have a smile that could light up a whole room.

Tanned skin is also a common occurrence considering the Rebuilders spend most of their time out in the sun.

Mentality, Common Groups and History
^{_______________________________}

By nature, Rebuilders are a little more compassionate, and understanding than the other groups. Because of the lives that they had lived before the end of the world, they are conditioned to being hard workers -- they are driven and fearless, and tend to be rather tough cookies. Some, however, still maintain their childlike innocence, and look at life through rose tinted glasses. All they want to do is save the world, and rebuild it brick by brick: to be a better place. To make it better than it was before the end of the world... To prepare themselves in case it were to ever happen again.

Rebuilders, for the most part, have their own specific groups. Before the end of the world, most of them were construction workers, mechanics, EMTs, Firefighters... People that truly liked to get their hands dirty. A few of them are the exceptions. They had cushy jobs where they did little more than fill out paperwork. A few are scientists, working on various tools and technologies to make everything easier; more energy efficient. Every step that they take is to make sure that civilization will be something greater than what was before. Something that, most, if not all of them, were working at before the end of the world.

The history of Rebuilders isn't really all that complicated. After the end of the world, they tried their damnedest to start building communities. They made trade towns along the way, initially carrying supplies like medicine, food and water. Then they started to refurbish houses to give people a stable and safe place to stay. Each Rebuilder Colony has it's own history and it's own story. But, they tend to like to make their small towns, never really going over fifty or more people.

Settlement Locations
^{_______________________________}

At the moment the most noted settlement is Rustboro. This is the first populated "widely" populated area since the end of the world. In essence, it is the mecca and hub of trade in the local area. There are a few notable trade towns along the way, Hamburg, Quaker Meadow, Anbhas and Bisclavret.
