Patriots of America (formerly revolutionairies if you read my ideas post)
General Washington
A boy, named Thomas and his parents who were poor and starving wondered the ruins of D.C. in the years around 2252 endlessly each and every day. When the three of them were in the area of the national mall they were attacked by a group of super mutants who had plans to capture them. The mutants unable to capture them quickly made the decision to kill them. Thomas ran to the Washington Monument and climbed all the stairs to the very top. There he made a small camp and would scavenge for food and water each day during the safety of the night, slowly gaining skills that would inevitablly help him in the future. Eventually Thomas' scavenging trips became longer and longer until one trip he got caught at the Arlington Library. Interested that day he looked up the history of America. His favorite subject was the Revolution which inspired his name Washington. His dream then became to re-establish the 13 original colonies to their former glory. At the beginning of 2272 (wiki's date) he set forth to the North. When he arrived at his home he saw men in huge suits of armor setting up a huge barrier around the monument. There he met a crazy man who told him about the good fight. Thomas took this personally as restoring America, to do this he would destroy everything "evil" that in his eyes was anti-american. Knowing how D.C. was in ruins he set his sights on Baltimore one of the nations old capitals. In 2273 when he arrived in Baltimore he found it in ruins also, he also found hundreds of people suffering from radiation poisoning and the countless raiders around. For five years he taught them what he learned how to scavenge and hide. During these years he also learned much more skills in combat and trained the wastelanders as much as he knew. In 2278 he left Baltimore on his own. Within days the wastelanders he had trained followed began to follow him as their leader, thus he named his tribe/group the Patriots of America. After discovering that Philadelphia was overrun with ghouls he decided he needed to wipe them out as they were "evil" and keeping America from being a great country again. He lead the group to New Jersey to an Air Force base. He had the group spend hours building thorough defenses. At the same time he set up a government/leadership in the visions of the Constitution. The people unanimously voted him into office as the president where he would enact a Marshall Law and control everything as a dictator. In 2296 he finally sets his sights on the his capital of America, Philadelphia.
The Patriots of America
Scavengers and Wastelanders from Baltimore were in terrible shape. They were starving and thirsty and each day was a struggle for life. In 2273 when Thomas Washington came they were suprised that anyone would come out of their way to their slice of hell. For the five years they were taught to survive by Tom they came to look at him as a leader. Finally when he left the people came together and followed him out of the city to wherever he may have gone. In 2279 when they arrived at the military base the began to scavenge immediately. They found large amounts of munitions in the base, but they could only see with binoculars. Eventually they made a team which prepared to go into the bunker. They found hundreds of skeletons crowded around one small door. Inside the first room was the luggage and and food of the hundreds of dead civilians trying to gain safety inside the bunker, unfortunately it was all highly irradiated. On the other hand their luck was still in their favor as the bunkers door has fallen apart from years of neglect. They found even more skeletons and some feral ghouls. After a couple days of fighting they found the dark recesses of the bunker which was full of food untouched by the war and guns to supply a small army. With their new weapons they set their goal to expand to take Philadelphia. They spent a decade destroying towns forcing raiders and other wastelanders to join there nation. With a growing population they had to set up a real government modeling old America as in new Constitution. They smartest men and women of the settlements came togethers and created their own Constitution. With Marshall Law enacted almost immeadiately, Washington promised his people that they could be free and finally enjoy life once they were able to set up America's new capital in Philly. To do this they needed to destroy the vast amount of ghouls in the ruins of Philly which remained largely entact. With their main goal to conquer Philly they needed to expand their armies with a proper training and soldiers.
What's New?
Washington Castle - Current day McGuire Air Force Base. I have said mostly everything in the above posts. It is used as the main base for the Patriots, and it surrounded by three walls, first concrete, second concrete, third forcefield like Fallout 3 found on the base. There is one main entrance, and an emergency exit that leads out from a sewer. There is plenty of weapons and armor. Population: 359
Adamsville - Named after Samuel Adams, other argue John Adams, only thee educated. It is the Patriots second largest city/town. This area is the main town for civilians of the faction. It is mainly a farming village to feed all the people, but there is still an armor and gun dealer in town. There are almost no military personel in the town, but it is of no interest of any place.
Fort Greene - Named after the General Nathaniel Greene, it is the second base for the military close to the front lines. It houses more men than Washington Castle, but they are mostly infantry and no specialists (not rank). It is a very simple square building surrounded by a concrete wall. It sits a couple miles away from the Delaware River and is an important role to take Philly.
The Pitt
During the conflict with the slaves, Ashur guranteed them good things to come, as his wife had discovered how to make vaccinations. The slaves listened and settled down, but not before they hunted down Wehrner. Years later after all the slaves were free of radiation, and all the trogs were wiped out. The Pitt began toexpand into the city.They discovered even more scrap metal and weapons and more ammo types. Ashure then decided to trade the ammo much more widely, excluding the Capital Wasteland. Around 2285, Ashur started to grant slaves more freedom, and hired them as workers. This decreased the soldiers pay, so the rebeled, but the loyalists were better equipped and stopped it rather quick. Ashure realized how powerful his army was and decided to expand further on around Pittsburgh. Some of the wastelanders refused to join, but most accepted this and made many farming towns to support the Pitt's growing numbers.
Towards the end of the 2280's, the Pitt looked like a good place to live. The streets were cleaned up, the people much nicer, and their terriotry thouroughly protected. With all the good things, and more to come Ashur officially announced that the Pitt would break away from the U.S. and become The United Federation of Pittsburgh. It included several cities including its Capital the Pitt, Youngstown in Ohio, and as far as Harrisburg in Pennsylvannia. With the massive expanding Ashur saw its citizens being upset, so he decided his last conquest of his life would be Philadelphia, little did he know 3 other groups wanted it too. When they arrived in Pottstown they set up camp in an old warehouse. They headed to Philly, to see men in black armor running from the town, when they investigated they found 4 dead ghouls all dressed in red. They figured it was just ordinary wasteland violence, but the next few days they kept seeing the ghouls in red shooting at any wanderers outside their wall, with intense violence at a certain few. The scouts from the Pitt reported this, and Ashur told them to lay low until they destroyed each other. With 5 years of pointless waiting, Ashur decided to take some action, he enslaved some locals and forced them to work on farms and other jobs. When he arrived personally to the sight he ordered a small group of men to set up a camp to the west of Philly. Now in 2298, their numbers have dramatically increased and there armies are ready to march onto Philly, and claim it for themselves.
Locations:
Pitt-town - Previously Pottstown, the UFP took it over first thing and established an Philly HQ here, only the leaders of the army stay here and the player can only receive a few quests, the guards here have high tier weapons from the start.
Southern HQ - The front lines for the UFP. They have most of the soldiers stationed here. The armies are rather large and the weapons are top notch. There are only tents here along with one large building used as an HQ. The UFP moved their base of operations here.
Stealers Fist - (like the football team) This is the camp where all the enslavement takes place. Slaves come thorugh have their belongings taken then distributed to the Southern HQ or Pitt-town. It is also a farming town where slaves farm furing the day, then pack munitions for the army at night.
Red Ghouls
Ghouls of Philly - after decades of punishment some ghouls were tired of being pushed around by the "bigots" Several wandered the waster as a large group, such as the ones in Broken Steel who want a New Underworld.They knew the best way to keep the humans out was with radiation. After years of wandering they discovered Philly in what seemed a pristine condition. What they didn't know what that the downtown was completely destroyed, but the surrounding area seemlessly left unharmed. They came to the area of Penn's landing and wandered from there discovering the historical sights, mainly Indeoendence Hall. They read up on all the documents and decided to call this area their own.
Slowly but surely they gathered other ghouls around. Again, knowing the humans wouldn't come with radiation the ghouls powered up some nuclear reactors, and let the toxic waster lay around the perimeter. Slowly the expanded outward making a powerful city. They also found a Military Storage sight, full of food and water for centuries, and weapons for thousands. Humans barely ever came to the ghoul "safe haven" and when they did they were questioned, and if found mysterious shot.
After brutal skirmishes with the new enemy, The Patriots, they heard time after time the patriots calling them redcoats. This made the ghouls paint all of their armor and clothing red. There weapons grunt weapons, and their armor leather, combat, and metal.
Now with the areas.
Independence Hall - The town hall of the ghouls.They use the courthouse for putting humans and trial. There is also an upstair, where all the food was transfered to keep it clean, as the radiation surrounds the perimeter. Additional ammo and armor is also stored on the second floor. The leader of the ghouls, a man named Jacob Williams also runs things from the 2nd floor office. In the basemant (I'm pretty sure there is one) you can see labs and scientists working hard. On this level they are trying to find a quick way to take radiation out of water. If you talk to some gulible scientists and hack some terminels, you can find a hidden elevator on the back wall. In the bottom of the place, a much larger lab is set up. Two basic rooms. One smaller room with feral ghouls and scientists, and another with humans and scientist. The small room full of ferals is to see if the ghouls can make them senseable, and the larger room is to see if they can turn a human into a ghoul 100% of the time.
Battleship New Jersey - A museum before the great war. The ghouls found it in the Delawat and pulled it to Penn's landing. It is uses as a military base for the ghoul redcoats. There military leaders live there, and there scientists are working on making it operational.
