1. Red rebelllion sounds generic.
2. To many anti Legion factions already.
3. Wearing red and attacking CL while they wear red......that could be confusing in a RL scenario.
The Sheuts - Egyptian concept of the shadow part of the soul.
I would like a Tusken raider type of people that live in caves, plateaus, and ant colonies. They figured a way to not be attacked by the ants by wearing outer raggs soaked in a mixture that includes ant pheremones that allows the ants to ignore them. They get most of their water through underground streams. They follow some Egyptian traditions due to their seeking of a simple way of life. they carve out glyphs and symbols of their own making into the ant tunnels they inhabit. They believe in using only technology that uses renewable energy like windmills, dams, and solar panels. Some of the more religious followers worship solar panels during the dawn when the sun hits the panels for the first time today and leave offerings for a good outp put of energy. The scientists in a way are considered to be like priests and perform their scientific duties of maintaining the renewable technology while making last rites to the dead. Ants are considered very sacred and the Queen is worshipped. Each year the head scientist/priest makes a journey to the heart of the colony to pay respects to the Queen. To prove ones worth into manhood the youths are sent blindfolded into the ant tunnels with a set amount of provisions and must find their way back, once they find their underground village they are then mature. To gain citizenship with the Sheuts you must go through many hard and mysterious rituals and for an outsider you must prove twice your worth and loyalty. you may never give away the loacation of their villages or be villified and cast out.
They favor stealth mostly and melee weapons as they live off the map and guns are hard to come by(If they use guns they prefer bolt action rifles or the sort long sitance). They have good survival skills and have a thing for collecting flame weaponry due to the mant ants they live with they create their own ant farms and raise the eggs. They use flame based weapons against most of the ant colonies due to the narrow tunnels and ease of burning them through bottle neck passage ways. Most live underground depending on the underground spring they dig up. But some have started to live in high plateus keeping watch over the area, the plateaus areas are mostly lookouts. They prefer places that has sandstorms so they can get around unseen much like the BOS use their bunker. They make their own homemade flamer fuel from some of the fire ant glands they find on fire ants. Whenever they leave they leave in disguise to trade for supplie in areas for things they can't get underground and if their hunting or patrolling the area they wear their dust brown raggs all over their body. Their faces shrouded with ocular goggles over their eyes to see through the constant dust storms easily. They have developed a high perception and good eyesight living in the dark caverns and creeping through the duststorms. They rely heavily on stealth and try not to make contact with the outside world, they just wish to live in piece and try to cultivate and make the land they keep producable. Many of them look down on tech horders seeing them repeat the folly of the pre-war civilzations. They wish to not be seen and isolated from other groups. Their goal is to live off the land in a simple means and use only a few of the technologies available and use more non-harming ways to produce things and heal the scars of the land. Many of the intelligent minds study deep into biology and more natural sciences to learn how to control the environment from a more conservative way.
Origins - Many of the tribe came from a band of scattered tribes or deserters fleeing from the legion they joined up with a ghoul following the leader was born beofre the war and used to be a professor from a well respected university his name was Simon Grells. They decided to nestle down into a great cavern and found a great underground spring watersource. After they were settled in their tents in this cavern they heard noises of digging and found ants trashing around they drove the ants back and made defenses. Grells was a naturalist who studied much about nature and biology. Due to his long life from ghoulification he was very intelligent and learned to crate the formula to keep the ants at bay. Now the borders of the great cavern village are lined with a soaked rags that keep the ants docile and ignored. He decided to lead this tribe of scattered people under a more naturalist way of life. After taking council with many of his ghoul party he educated them into these matters and decided to follow the Egyptian society and proclaim himself as some kind of god while the other ghouls who had learned much of the ways of science became his *priests*. Many of the human tribes are usually only educated to an extent and only a few chosen are gain the honor of learning into more of the sciences and reading from the sacred libraries of the old-civilzation because Simon was afraid if they learned to much they would make more machines to recreate another resource war that would scar the planet again. Keeping most of the populance under a banner of ignorance he let only a few select he trusted human and ghoul and alike. He prefers those selected at an old age to be heavily irradiated so they could be preserved and keep their wosdom and knowledge alive and strengthen it. He had the rest of the populance take to a banner of religion setting rules of how he was a God of death and sun. He took a new name(I'll find something suitable later) and ruled. He cared much for renewable technologies and focused only on those hating technology that destroyed or kept people lazy and greedy. He is afraid that if they gain to much knowledge that they would develope more technology that could lead to another repeating great war. He wears a headdress of feathers and wears many bandages to keep up with his appearance seeming to like some kind of undead spirit of immortality.
He still leads the tribe today.
Factions - They are mainly neutral but look down on some of the more tech oriented societies, but still trade with them in secret if they need to.
NCR - Neutral/They do not like their goals and will not coopertae with them if the NCR tries to claim their resources.
BOS - Neutral/ they despise how they horde prewar technology and rely to heavily on it, but in away it is good for them since the BOS is slowly thinning and their bunkers of secret technology might be lost once the BOS fade out from exsistence and leave their tech forgotten so that no one can claim it.
FOTA - Positive/ They respect how they take care of people and teach things to better people. Some FOTA helped develope their society and taught them much about Survival, medicine, and biological science.
CL - Neutral/ They like their independence from technological advance and rely more on nature instead. But as many they hate how they enslave. Some of the Dust Walkers came from tribes that retreated back when CL was claiming territory. Some even came from the Legion. Their are mixed feelings about them.
