These are my five merchants of this post-apocalyptic world I am working on right now. I divided them into Urban and Rural.
The first two merchants live in over-populated cities, they are forced to wear a mask in order to survive, because the air is almost unbreathable. One of them is a collector of anything that appears in his way, and the other one is a smuggler from the factory area.
The other three merchants are from the wild areas. The forest one collects herbs and mushrooms with particular qualities. The second one lives in the shore, he mostly fishes. However, he is the most affected one by radiation and water pollution.
the mountain merchant is the biggest of all, since he needs physical strength to survive the ultra cold weather. There is not much pollution in the mountains, but the climate change made it impossible to have temperatures above -10°C
