Factionless

The absence of a faction, group or alignment.

History: They have existed since people started to illegally enter the Zone. The first real stalker, was a factionless stalker.

Interactions: Factionless stalkers come in all kinds of ages and level of skill, but there are two main paths. They are either factionless because they are not deep enough into the stalker lifestyle to know about factions or see it as worth the time, or they are factionless by choice, and have found it is easier to work alone.
