What age range are we looking at for our characters? I was thinking of making someone a little younger than everyone else, probably an orphan, someone who makes a living scavenging for valuable stuff and spare parts to sell on to mechanics and so on. He would be one of the people who showed up after the previous gang had been dealt with.

A Scrap deck probably fits better for a character idea like this, but aside from the three variants of Scrap Dragon I don't see much growth for the archetype.

Yeah, I noticed some similar problems when looking at building a potential scrap deck. You've got four scrap Synchros: 3 are scrap dragons, and one is a scrap archfiend. Not a whole lot of Scrap Syncho options outside of archetypes.

EDIT: There is also always the possibility of having a, quite literally, scrappier deck to start out with. Weird assortment of machine type cards. There could also be the possibility of relying on equip spells, or even transitioning over towards something more like Morphotronics or just pretty much anything that's focused on synergy and has more options for you down the line.
