Nipton OOC Thread

Post » Sat Sep 15, 2012 8:39 am

The year is 2283 a year after the Courier, apathetic to the concerns of the people, destroyed the securitron army and then single-handedly pushed the Legion (now under the command of Legate Lanius) and the NCR out of the Mojave. A month after the second battle for hoover dam a mysterious figure with an old world flag on his back walked into the Lucky 38, since then neither he nor the Courier has been seen or heard from.

Without the Courier to install fear into the various factions that inhabit the land the Mojave has been besieged by problems. The Powder Gangers still terrorize the I-15 at the areas around Goodsprings and it is only the firm grip of Sheriff Meyers which keeps them from overrunning Primm. The Brotherhood of Steel have taken control of HELIOS One and patrol I-15 and Highway 95 confiscating any advanced technology they find travellers with. The fiends have taken control of outer Vegas and only the brave or foolhardy dare traverse their lands. The Kings attack any NCR citizen the walks into freeside without protection.

In addition to these problems both the NCR and Legion have mobilised armies which seem to be ready to take the Mojave at any time, NCR Rangers have been spotted making outposts and the Legion has retaken their base at cottonwood cove and have launched raids against passing caravans.

To escape the multitude of problems which have burdened the other towns many seek to create a new settlement, the ruins of Nipton seem to be the ideal place for a new settlement which could perhaps become a safe haven in the Mojave...

Factions of the Mojave
Spoiler

Primm: Sheriff Meyers keeps the town safe from powder ganger attacks but the roads around Primm are not very safe, although mercenaries provide escorts for those that can afford their prices. The town walled itself in and is very cautious of who it admits.

Goodsprings: They are defending themselves fairly well from Powder gangers but it is a dangerous place to live. The town has benefited from tourist wishing to see where the courier came from. With new string of income they have hired former NCR troopers as guards for the town, and made the Powder Ganger hesitant to attack.

Novac: They've were struggling to hold off against waves of feral Ghouls that had been attacking them from REPCONN. The BOS moved in to REPCONN Test Site and removed the ghoul threat. They took the chance to take all advance weapon tech from Novac. Some of the Bright Followers returned, although never mentioned where they were, and have helped rebuild the town, and it has become and important pit stop on the way to New Vegas, although people sometimes are harassed by BOS troops.

Westside: Has been weakened by constant fiend attacks but continues to be self-sufficient. They produce their own food, weapons and clothes. They have gained notoriety for having well equipped militia, of a few good snipers that keep them safe.

Jacobstown: Continues to be a safe haven for mutants but some progress has been made regarding the Nightkin cure. They have kept the area safe, and leave humans alone, as long as they don’t shoot mutants.

Boomers: They have pledged loyalty to the Courier who obtained the bomber for them. They have set up camps outside the area of the Airbase, and keep intruders out. They fight on behalf of New Vegas, and have signed various trade agreements with them as well as the Gunrunners. Have sent some members to Camp McCarran to study and see if they can get planes working. Have not had any success yet.

The Strip: Yes Man keeps the families in line on the strip but tensions are high, but Mk I Securitrons keep the peace. However they have signed loyalty agreements to the Courier. Gomorrah, has stepped up the drug trade, and are believe to be dealing with the Khan. The White Glove society, continues with its peculiar practices without knowledge of the outside. The Chairmen continue their trade of high quality entertainment; they are slowly becoming the best-armed family in the Strip. Lucky 38, inhabited by the Courier, who has not been seen in a long time, a strange fellow with twisted hair and the old world flag on his back, as well as the companions the Courier had made on his journey, except for Cass who returned to the caravan business.

Camp McCarran: Controlled by New Vegas, serves as transport station for NCR citizens to avoid Freeside, if they can afford monorail travel cost. Fiends constantly attack the base but it has been kept safe by a large force of disillusioned former NCR and Legion soldiers. They have pledged their support for New Vegas, for as long as they get their paychecks. This is where New Vegas true power lies. It has slowly grown and is becoming a growing town, but under watchful eye of securitrons and of the Lucky 38.

Follower of the Apocalypse: At first they struggled to provide basic services for Freeside residents. However the Courier ensured they received help from The Strip and from the King. They have a grown into formidable force, and when necessary provide escort for NCR citizens to the Strip, since the Kings will not disturb those under the protection of FoA guards.

Freeside: The area has fallen under the rule of the King, however he heeds the advice and knowledge that comes from the Lucky 38. They harass any NCR citizen except those that travel under the protection of FoA guards, although for an unexplained reason some still try to travel without FoA help, even though they charge very little, and cost is far more reasonable than the Monorail.

Black Mountain: has been seemingly abandoned but around the area unseen forces assault caravans. Most Nighkins left to go live in Jacobstown, but a few crazed ones remained. BOS has begun to launch attacks in order to take control of the Radio Facility up top.

Red Rock: The Khans remained in the area and have continued to produce high quality drugs. A few well armed caravans have been seen leaving Red Rock, and meeting customers outside of New Vegas. They have also signed trade agreements with the FoA for medicine in exchange of knowledge and new ways of making their product.

Boulder City: Remains place to stop before heading to Hoover Dam. It is considered an Independent town and will not tolerate fighting from NCR or Legion sympathizers. Raiders attack the area, but the wall of the town keep it safe.

Camp Golf: It was given to NCR by New Vegas to serve as local embassy, as well as a sign of friendship between the two. Well armed and prepared in case of Legion attack, headed by Chief Hanlon. It is kept under the watchful eye of New Vegas to ensure that not too many troops are amassed to prove a threat. As security measure, the boomers have some artillery guns aimed at the site, readily waiting for the green light from the Courier.

Hoover Dam: Has a combined force of New Vegas, NCR and FoA engineers as well as some BOS scribes to keep facility running. BOS sent scribes to study the tech, and to keep and eye out on the facility, and ensure it can’t be used against them. The Courier and Veronica asked for the BOS presence in order to keep the peace. Tension is high between NCR engineers and BOS scribes, although neither side is allowed to have armed guards.

The Fort: The Legion retook the area and now controls it, Courier leaves them alone but keeps watchful eye. Not much is known of what they are up to but they also retook Cottonwood Cove.

BOS: They continue to control Hidden Valley and Helios One. They have taken to patrolling the I-15 and Highway 95. They have made it the safest route to New Vegas, but will stop anyone they believe might have advance tech. They take laser weapons or any hint of advance combat tech. They have taken control of Repconn test site and currently use it as a research facility. Veronica opened McNamara’s eyes about expanding the BOS and adapting. He has begun recruiting wastelanders into the BOS ranks, and is using the Repconn HQ as recruitment station. They emptied the HQ of anything usable, including the robots, whom they rewired to serve the BOS.

But when he taught some villagers from a small village with no name in the art of chemistry, he himself was taught by the villagers to make chems for non medical purposes, the villages own variant of Hydra. Jack was first very wary, but when he tried this Hydra variant, he became addicted and that led to a petty crime spree of thefts and assaults. But then it escaleted to murder of an scavenger, who had the ingredients that Jack needed to make his own Hydra variant, and Jack was caught and shipped to the NCRCF, where he took part in the prison riot.

While incarcerated, he learned to brew various chems, including the Mojave hydra. He also took part in the assault of Primm, and when the Courier came to drive away the PGs, Jack was inside a toilet stall brewing his chems, thus avoiding death. After finding his former comrades dead, he ventured to Nipton where some PGs had gone after Primm assault, where he found only more death, but it inspired him to stay in Nipton, to rebuild it to its former glory.

Physical appearance: 5'8" 130 pounds, Usually she wears her hair in a pony tail, or braided pig tails. Her eyes are golden brown, her skin is olive colored and tans easily. Reggie slender and fit with adequate curves. She has a scar that runs from the bridge of her nose to the center of her right cheek. It's an old wound, and is not much more than a slightly lighter colored line these days.

Personality: Reggie is confident, and blunt. She is not afraid to speak her mind, and is not afraid of confrontation. To those not close to her, she comes off as brash, rude and arrogant. But Reggie shows a mutual respect followed by general concern for those she befriends.

Reggie believes strongly in old world ways, specifically the late 1800's. She believes if there is a problem, you settle it, no need to wait for the local law dogs to arrive. She would take to an good old fashioned duel in the streets. Where, whether you are right or wrong, if you are the one left standing it doesn't matter anyway. Her feelings about the Great War leave nothing in question. To Reggie, the countries who engaged in the nuclear exchange are cowards. Instead of facing their differences head on, they chose to sit behind their terminals thousands of miles away and utilize satellite technology to do their dirty work. If the issue is brought up, she will carry on about the cowardice of the war. She lives one day at a time, when her time is up, someone, or something will put her down.

Weapons & armour/clothing: Prewar, blued, Remington Wingmaster 870 12 gage pump shotgun with orange fiber-optic sights.

Over the time that she has owned it, is has been worn down to her size. It has been reinforced with brahmin hide on the elbows and right (firing) shoulder. Old cowboy boots which she had metal covers attached over the toes, as well as around the heels. Dingy roaming trader hat, sides tied up with boot strings to make like a cowboy hat. It is bent down steeply in the front and rear, covering most of her eyes. Tortoise shell sunglasses.

(Previous) Occupation(s): Vigilante

Faction: None

Backstory: Reggie, is the daughter of the once infamous Daniel, The Devil Dog, Jones. A name which he was called due to his reddish skin tone and pencil thin black moustache and pointed goatee, much like that of the old world depictions of the devil. Her mother, Michelle Torrez, was the long time lover of The Devil Dog. Born in a small settlement in Northern Arizona known as Tular, Reggie's mother ran a small time supplies shop, making her living selling to the passersby while Daniel would roam the surrounding area conducting his vigilante justice.

Reggie was a disappointment to Daniel at first, as he longed for a son to carry on his lineage. He and Michelle agree to naming their daughter Regina, so Daniel would call her by the name he had hoped his son would be named, Reggie. Daniel, in an feeble attempt to lead others to believe he had a son, forbid Michelle to let Reggie's hair grow long. Hence, she was quite the tomboy, up until she reached the adolescent years and began to mature into a young woman. She was ridiculed by the local boys, and took to fisticuffs on many an occasion. Daniel taught her to play poker, and she would not only hold her own in a fist fight, but would embarrass the boys in card games also. Always with an extra ace up her sleeve, she won the majority of the time.

The first time Daniel put a gun in Reggie's hands was on her thirteenth birthday. It was a beat up .22 caliber rifle, Daniel was pleased with the steady hands of Reggie. Over time Daniel taught her that her guns should be an extension of herself, "be one with your weapon," he told her. Daniel worked with his blossoming daughter, teaching her his ways and even going as far as having regular duels using blanks. Reggie's cat like reflexes, and keen eye sight proved their great value. At the slightest flinch, Reggie would regularly win their duels. Hand to hand, she has a vicious right hook and is nimble and quick. At sixteen, her father presented her with a restored Remington shot gun, something in which Reggie holds dear. Its blued body, and true sights enable Reggie to be dead on at one hundred yards, further in good weather.

Reggie trekked across the Mojave with her father, much to Michelle's dismay, creating a bond unlike any other she experienced. Living an outlaw type lifestyle, while bringing vigilante justice with them to each town they entered. One morning when Reggie awoke, her father sat by the smoldering campfire carving on her shotgun. Daniel handed it to her after he had finished, it read The Devil's daughter in Spanish. Three days later was the last time Reggie saw her father, nineteen and alone, she did what it took to survive.

Reggie took to her gambling, that provided her with many interesting items. One item in particular was the pieces of Jade that now adorn the handles of her pistol and Bowie knife. A knife in which caused her to be shunned from her home settlement of Tular. One of her cards fell from her sleeve, as alcohol dumbed her common sense. The man whom she had been beating hand over fist lunged at her with the Bowie knife, the tip cutting the right side of her face. He demanded his money back, Reggie's reply was her Magnum to the man's forehead, relieving his head of it's duty to carry his brain. She was ushered out and cursed to never set foot in Tular again.

No home, and just her belongings she had with her, Reggie went from town to town. Using her wits and arrogant charm to get would be lovers drunk and buy a room. They woke up both penniless and without boots. She would throw the boots on the roof of a nearby building, allowing her ample time to get away. Nobody other than tribals would venture on the hot grounds of the Mojave without boots. Reggie grew tired of this lifestyle, and the things that she heard about the NCR piqued her interest. But, her father had been a wanted man by the NCR for some time, so she took her mothers last name of Torrez.

Reggie was diligent in her efforts to become a soldier. She showcased her skill set, though able to survive most hand to hand combat, even though she was not as powerful as most, her shooting skills impressed. But, her bad attitude towards the Drill Instructor put an abrupt halt to her becoming an NCR soldier. She still wanders the Mojave seeking a more permanent home.

When JT is provoked, he does have a violent streak that will rear its ugly head, in part to his BoS training.

Weapons and armor: JT carries a hunting rifle, silenced 10mm pistol, and a switchblade. His clothing consists of brown work boots, worn out blue jeans, white tank top under a brown leather duster, with a pair of sunglasses. He also totes around his antique acoustic guitar, around his neck is a leather boot lace turned necklace. He places the guitar picks he makes onto it, usually around 6 or so.

Previous Occupation: He did serve in the Brotherhood, but chooses to leave that part of his life behind. He simply wanders around, settling at places from time to time.

Faction: None

Backstory: JT, the middle of three sons to Mitch and JoAnne Taylor, was raised in the ruins of Carson City, now referred to as Larson City because of Raiders. Mitch, a well-known businessman, helped a great deal with the rebirth of the city. He had rebuilt an old hotel into a casino of sorts. JoAnne managed the in house restaurant and kept tabs on the more permanent tenants. JT had met many, many people; some who stayed awhile would teach or show him different things. JT had a vast knowledge of many different skills, but not particularly great at to many of them. One day, when JT was sixteen, a beautiful girl around his age showed up, her name was Haley. Her parents planned to live there for a while. She carried a strange looking suitcase with her, JT introduced himself, and they had an almost instant friendship. When he inquired about the strange suitcase, she explained it was a guitar case, and eventually taught him to play it.

Over the course of the next two years, when JT wasn't working, the two of them were together. JT and Haley were inseparable, teenagers in love as JoAnne put it. JT developed a deep affection for music, particularly, the guitar. JT's father supported the Brotherhood of Steel immensely, he provided tech when he came across it, and finances. Mitch told the boys he was sending them for training that he had made a deal with the BoS. His brothers wanted nothing more but JT, wanted nothing to do with it. Mitch forced him to go anyways; JT was extremely bitter and sick of the thought of leaving Haley.

JT completed training, eventually going AWOL. He did not like many of the means the Brotherhood used to procure their 'new' tech. While he was away, Mitch began dabbling in other areas; one in particular was becoming a slaver. In his casino, if you borrowed from the casino and lost, you really lost. Mitch would own you, if the poor soul was lucky; they would only have to work for Mitch, whether in his fields, on his buildings, or as a casino prosttute.

When JT returned home five years later, Haley was a shadow or her former self. Much worse, JoAnne had passed due to a Jet overdose; Haley was now forced to be Mitch’s girl. JT, not only disgusted with his father’s new foray for making money, his now cruel demeanor and relentless pursuit of money and power. One night, while his father was passed out drunk, JT poisoned him. His brothers were killed serving the BoS, but JT was unaware of this, and he ultimately inherited his father’s businesses.

In an attempt to right what had been wronged. JT kept the savings of his fathers, but turned control of the casino over to the people Mitch had enslaved. Haley and JT ventured as far away from Larson as they could, eventually settling in a small town. They established a little restaurant, and enjoyed what they had; glad to be away from the haunting memories of Larson City. The couple wed, and all looked promising, they were even expecting a child. But Haley died during childbirth, JT was devastated, he had lost the woman that he loved and his child. JT left with no particular place set in his mind. That was when he was twenty six years of age, now thirteen years later; he continues to wander, carrying his two loves on his back. Haley's guitar and the gift of music she had shared with him in his guitar.

Sturdy boots, military camouflage pants, brown T-shirt, Leather Duster.

(Previous) Occupation(s): Worked as a medic for several years with the Followers. Most of her medical knowledge comes from working with NCR Doctors in Hopeville.

Faction (NCR, Legion, BOS, None. Etc): Loosely associated with the Followers and NCR, but not a member.

Backstory: Cat was born in the L.A. Boneyard, out in California. Her parents decided that a big city was not the best place to raise their daughter and so they headed east, looking for a quiet place where they could settle down. Her mother was part of the Followers of the Apocalypse and had worked at the Boneyard Medical University. Her father was part of the Republic’s Reserve and had helped to bring law and order to the city. He had fought many raiders, who tried to undermine NCR rule.

They both left their lives behind, in order to give their daughter one. Cat had just turned five years old, when they began their long trek east, across dangerous territory. After a week of wandering, they finally crossed into the Mojave. The first town they came to was Primm and this is where they stayed. Cat’s childhood was filled with laughter and happiness, until the day came when her parents went out to look for supplies and never returned. Cat had just turned sixteen. Johnson and Ruby Nash took the girl in and Cat remained friends with the elderly couple to this day.

However, as soon as Cat turned twenty one, the Mojave called to her and she thought it was time she spread her wings and looked for her own destiny. At first, Cat headed to New Vegas, earned a living as a waitress for a while, but found the position lacking. She wanted more out of live, wanted to do good, wanted to help others, just like her parents. After a month of working at the Tops, she bid the Chairmen adieu and headed into Freeside to work with the Followers. Life was good, it had a meaning. The Followers sent her on various mission and many times they assigned her to head out with the NCR. She learned a lot from NCR Medics and soon became a skilled Combat Medic herself.

In the year 2274 the NCR offered her a permanent position at a new camp they had established in Hopeville, just a few miles outside of Primm. Cat accepted without hesitation and was happy to be close to her childhood home and to see the Nash’s on a regular basis.

A small community had settled in Hopeville and was carving out a new life for themselves. In a few years, it was thriving. They repaired the “High Road” and various businesses were established alongside the highway. Some of the six and seven story buildings were renovated to serve as apartment complexes. This community seemingly captured the prosperous image Cat had of pre-war America. She felt at home here. This was Hopeville’s time. Cat felt overcome with pride and honor to be part of something so glorious. She marveled at everyone’s drive and dedication. They had built something out of nothing and they watched it blossom over the years.

Cat’s contribution had not been a small one. She ran the Hopeville Clinic and had helped to build it with her own two hands. And then, she had fallen in love. Her fiancé, Matt Jackson, a Sergeant First Class in the NCR, could make her laugh and then told her that he adored the sound she made. At first, they met as doc and patient, he had been shot in the leg during a Legion conflict and been sent back to Hopeville. His injury wasn’t life threatening and Cat referred to it that tiny scratch that brought them together.

They spent two blissful years with each other and were talking about getting married in 2277. However, fate had other plans.

As the sun climbed into the sky, pronouncing a clear, bright day for a change, Cat hurried to the Hopeville Missile Silo to assist in various research studies. They looked at the storm patterns, at soil consistencies and various other data.

The earth began to shake an hour later. Cat’s first instinct was to run outside and help anyone who might be injured, to try and get everyone to safety, and then… Matt! The other two scientists ran out, to find their families. The ground convulsed and suddenly it stopped. Cat opened the door and was engulfed by a major dust cloud, which obscured her vision. She stumbled down the road, calling Matt’s name, calling her friends, trying to locate survivors. After a moment she almost tripped over a body and when she kneeled down next to him, her eyes fell onto the name tag. Ashes rained down on her, settling on her bare arms, leaving various sizes of burn marks.

“Matt,” she called his name and turned his face slowly towards her. Her blood froze in her veins at the sight of him. He looked like he had been skinned alive. He was dead, there was no pulse. She threw herself onto his chest and cried hot tears. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm and when she looked up, his eyes bore into hers. “Run,” he whispered and weakly pushed her away.

Cat’s scream never left her throat. Suddenly, she saw other marked men get up from where they had fallen and she knew that Hopeville was now a place of horror, death and destruction. And she ran.

Name: Ryan Mitchell
Age: 38
six: Male
Race: Caucasian
Skills: Being an ex-Ranger, Ryan has many of their skills with none of their authority over him. He can track, trap, and pull off shots some would say were crazy. He knows his medical stuff ( enough to keep him alive ) and can keep his guns in top form. Other than his guns, ranging, medical needs, and his unarmed prowess Ryan sees little need for any other skills.

Physical Appearance: Ryan has an athletic body from his tenure in the Rangers and has maintained it by pushing his limits constantly. His face is full with warm brown eyes. He's clean cut at all times but has a full head of brown hair that's never styled. He stands at 6'3 and weighs 210 pounds.

Personality: Ryan dislikes authority and anyone abuses the little guy. He is a free spirit, not really caring about much. He does however like to protect others since he is able to. He harbors an extreme hatred for the Legion, wishing them all dead. It is the only NCR tradition he carries on. He likes his drink and living a free life. He fears no-one.

Weapons: Ryan fancies himself a pistolero and has become a master of one-handed gun handling. He keeps a .45 pistol ( Colt 1911 ), 12.7mm pistol, and a modded Ranger Sequoia for special occasions. He only carries one rifle that he only uses when he knows he'll need some long-range weaponry, an old Brush Gun with an added scope.

Armor: Advanced Riot Gear ( w/ helmet ). He wears the trench coat over a Ranger casual outfit, keeping the actual armor and helmet for dire situations.

Previous Occupations: Former NCR Ranger Vet, he quit after seeing things like Bitter Springs for too long.

Faction: None, only a few friends from his ranging days. He severed all ties he had with the NCR.

Backstory: Ryan was born to two homeless parents whom he never met, as they were killed by unknown assailants soon after his birth. The small baby was found by an old NCR serviceman named Jerry Mitchell who raised him as his own and even gave Ryan his names, he also told him stories of how glorious the NCR is. Old Jerry lived in McCarran and brought Ryan home with him after finding him on a walk outside of the base. The old man named was kind but knew that young Ryan must learn to be strong and independent to live in the post-apocalypse. He taught Ryan to shoot, to patch himself up, and how to fight unarmed. Ryan learned over the long years, he grew to love the NCR. The young boy heard of them all the time, and aspired to become the best of them one day. Being around the soldiers only strengthened his resolve, they were his heroes.

At 18 the boy enlisted in the military, the NCR took him regardless for they needed able and willing men. Ryan's first mission went well, though it was only a routine Fiend-purging. The young man fought hard and earned all he got. The other men liked their new comrade, he was always joking and helping them along their way. The boy made quick friends will his troop and even the Rangers took notice of him, they watched him closely for years.

At 24 after numerous promotions and serving faithfully for 6 years, he was extended an offer to join the ranks of the Rangers. He accepted immediately, very near to completing his dream. After so long he'd become a Ranger of the NCR, he was among his heroes. The others were happy to have him though some were jealous and looked down on him. Ryan worked just as hard, taking every chance to help his fellows and racking up a respectable kill count of Fiends and Legion. He moved outposts from time to time but stayed alert always. He was rather envious of the 1st Recon men, but knew he was lucky to be where he was.

Ryan worked for years and years until he was awarded the title of Ranger Vet at age 30. He was ecstatic and he rushed back to McCarran to receive his black armor. But he learned he must go to old Chief Hanlon to get his prize. He journeyed to Camp Golf and found the Chief, where he then attained his ultimate gift. He donned the armor and felt his whole life's dream finally come true. Hanlon commended the new Vet, saying Ryan was an asset and credit to the Rangers. Ryan served on with continued distinction.

But Ryan began to see the darker side of the NCR's operations. Witnessing massacres and seeing " uprisings " put down. Innocents were killed and Ryan took part. He felt he was doing the right thing, that the NCR was doing what had to be done. But when Bitter Springs came to pass, Ryan saw through the veil. Just a day later old Jerry passed, Ryan's faith was crushed. He quit the Rangers and left on his own. Taking his armor and weapons, and even stealing a Ranger Sequoia for his trouble. He also saw a derelict sit of advanced riot gear scavenged from somewhere sitting in an armory, he took suit's more advanced tech and found an engineer to install it all into his own suit.

Ryan wandered for years, helping those who needed it. The grizzled vet stayed in towns occasionally to help with keeping peace. He killed any Legionnaries he saw, Fiends too. The NCR left him alone. The ex-Ranger Vet crusaded against the same old enemies. After so much hardship though, he remained his old fun-loving self.

Now's he's decided little Nipton could use a hand in the harsh world.

Not-So-Previous Occupations: Cameron is a Star Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel and member of the Circle of Steel.

Faction: Western Brotherhood of Steel.

Backstory: Cameron Howard was born the son of a respected Paladin and Scribe in Lost Hills. His father was a great warrior of the Paladin caste and his mother a brilliant scholar of the Scribe caste. Cam was a planned pregnancy after his parents found time for a family. They'd had a son 6 years before but he was lost in an attack on a caravan they were apart of. After that, they couldn't imagine having another child. But after 6 years and life winding down for them, they decided to try for another baby. Cam was that baby and was a great joy for his parents. They were loving and cherished their little boy, from his birth he was raised to be a soldier. Cameron was the son they never had but had always wanted, he was to become what they envisioned their first son to be.

As a young boy Cam was enrolled in Initiate studies and training. He excelled in all aspects of his studies and quickly become a star pupil in his lessons. The boy found himself being taught and conditioned for battle everywhere he went. Back in his family's quarters his father drilled him in combat techniques and tactics while his mother instilled important knowledge of the more subtle arts. She taught him to patch himself up after he was beaten down in sparring matches. Cam's father viewed his son as a treasure and intended for him to be the best soldier the Brotherhood had seen in a long while. Between his mother and father Cam was taught all he needed to know and then some, with their assistance the boy surpassed all expectations set by his instructors.

Cameron finished his Initiate phase of training ahead of those his age, graduating to Senior Initiate. A boy he'd met when he was a normal Initiate became a good friend oh his. The boy was one Ace Makovich. The two youngsters were always around each other, goofing off and playing games. They were both exceptionally smart and the both of them were always at the head of their classes. In their combat drills were always contested tooth and nail, Cam and Ace never held their punches back. The instructors watched them with interest. Cameron continued on, focusing as his father wanted, on combat. Fully intending to become a Knight and then Paladin. Cam attained the rank of Apprentice as he progressed.

Apprentices were on their way to Knighthood but weren't quite there, nonetheless Cameron was pleasing his parents. They beamed with pride at their son who was steps beyond boys and girls his age. Cam tried as hard as he could to excel even further. He was completely committed to reaching the highest he could. More years passed as the boy grew to a young man, achieving rank after rank until he found himself at the major crossroads of advancement in the Brotherhood. He was to choose either Scribe or Knight, the choice was obvious. Cameron Howard became a Journeyman Knight and saw his friend Ace choose the opposite. The young man didn't like being without his friend after being such great pals for so long. The two saw less of each other. Cam continued on, pushing his limits constantly. Some mornings he was found passed out at his desk after a night of studying. He pushed so hard in his close combat sparring matches he put a few of the other boys in the infirmary. By then, Cam was a large specimen and imposing compared to his fellows.

Knighthood came and went for Cameron, he was promoted to Senior Knight at the start of his 20's. Once more, Mr. and Mrs. Howard were prideful of their son. Cam was under scrutiny from Paladins and other influential figures then, being considered as for the illustrious rank of Paladin itself. His father rallied a good amount of support for him and the others agreed, Cameron Howard was a prime candidate. A few years passed and Cam proved he was worthy without a doubt. He finally attained the rank of Junior Paladin and made his father the proudest parent around. Ace had gone off the radar it seemed but Cam had mostly forgotten him. He was too engrossed in his new esteem. The young man kept at it though, always shooting for the stars. Cam got out into the field a lot more and sharpened his combat skills to the finest they could be. He was a crack shot as well as a brutal brawler.

A good few months passed, Cameron was poised to assume the rank of Paladin quickly. On an assault mission Cameron was a vital part of the capture of a raider base, saving more than a few of his men along the way. His father brought this to the attention of the Head Paladin of Lost Hills. Seeing the young man's impressive track record he agreed to promote Cam. When the man returned he learned of his new rank and was simply ecstatic. Never was he happier than when he learned of becoming a Paladin. But the newly-crowned Paladin never rested, it only inspired him to work harder. Cam worked to his absolute limit. Drilling his men, keeping his combat skills razor sharp, and making sure he knew how to keep himself alive. The Paladin lead his troops to reclaim many territories from mutations and raiders.

After a number of years, when Cameron was 26 he was furthered to the rank of Senior Paladin. His climb of the ladder of the Brotherhood was a swift one and he amazed himself. Cam was working himself too hard though, he realized one night. He decided to take it easy for awhile and get to being more of a person. That was when he developed his fun-loving attitude and got to being himself. He'd always been that man but was too busy working himself into an early grave to see it. Cam found himself and the returned to his strenuous work. The Paladin continued on for a few years. His father had been busy and had managed to find a place in the Circle of Steel for his son. But first, Cam would have to assassinate a rogue Brotherhood Elder who'd defected and killed his men. The Senior Paladin did so after an arduous trek and a hazardous escape. He was admitted to the Circle at age 30.

Cam worked with the Circle very often and after many successful missions and high-profile assaults came under the magnifying glass. The High Elder had watched since the Howard man was but a Knight. The man was an enigma. Showing he was one of the best the Brotherhood had seen since men like Rhombus. There was a rank that had been considered for reinstatement for years, the detachment in the DC wasteland was known to use it but they were far gone. The High Elder thought Cameron the man to honor this rank and make it what it was supposed to be, a rank that showed the holder was the elite of the elite. Cam was brought to the High Elder one day and notified of the Elder's decision. He was going to reinstate the rank of Star Paladin and Cameron was to be the first person to bear it. The Paladin accepted with joy and he was named Star Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel. The High Elder continued watching the Howard man and his endeavors.

The Star Paladin worked tirelessly for the years after until he was invited by a top-notch commander of the Brotherhood on a mission to reinforce a chapter in dire straits. The commander was Sentinel Richard Makovich, Cam didn't remember Ace then as it had been years since they saw one another. Cameron set out with the large reinforcement group to the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood. Traveling hundreds of miles with his commander. They came upon Nipton on their way and stopped, to pursue a certain someone. Where Cam met someone he thought dead. The someone, being his long-lost elder brother.

Backstory: Jonathan’s early life was not defined by the gun, but by the book and by the word. Jonathan Theodore Watson was born in the Boneyard; among the Followers of the Apocalypse. A bright and gifted child, he took to learning like a moth to a light. Learning was a gift he refused to squalor and so keenly studied as much as he could. He ventured from the library and out into the world regularly with his kin. He saw suffering, he saw the struggle, and he saw the humble villages and harsh raiders. He watched as his parents turned no one away from their help, not once did he ever see the people he loved raise a weapon. These experiences constructed his own ideologies as he grew into young man.

A keen fan of Hippocrates, Jonathan turned to medicine; Becoming a physician and surgeon, with some dabbling in psychoanolyses. Like with many graduates, he followed in his parents footsteps and ventured out in the world to spread the torch. During this period, the NCR began to swiftly advance into the Mojave. The Followers followed, and Jonathan spent a large chunk within the Mormon fort, among the citizens of Vegas and the outlining settlements. At the height of the NCR – Legion War, offering his services freely to the NCR, along with the flip side of that he also attended to Legionaries. Developing a reputation in the process as ‘The Mojave Doctor’, an uninspired name, he always thought, but a name that kept him alive.

Once the war was finally over; Jonathan turned his attention back on its people, someone he had neglected somewhat over the course of the conflict. With a bag of supplies, and several dozen medical apparatus, he ventured out from Mormon fort. Into the world once more… To bring the torch of knowledge to the wastes.

Clothing/Armor: Grey short sleeved T-shirt, und a tanned Brahmin skin buttoned jacket, and dark grey jeans.
Bio/history: When Ezkiel was young he lived in a ranch in northern California, he had two sisters, a mother and a father. All of this changed when Zeke was 11 years old and his shack was attacked by what he thought to be raiders. When they entered the shack they yelled at his father, saying something about the ranch and how it was legally theirs. His father, who was a very stubborn man, resisted the "raiders" and told them to "piss off". One of the intruders who was obviously drunk shot his father seven times in the stomach and laughed the most evil laugh Zeke had ever heard. During all of this Zek was watching from undernath the floor boards with his 4 year old sister while his mother and other sister where above, beside his father. His mother, who was always strong in both heart and arm pulled a switchblade on the intruder and stabbed him atleast thirty times in the face before she, and his sister her gunned downed, all by the same kind of rifle. This is when Zeke caught a real look at one of the raiders, it was NCR soldiers who had been sent to take their land, though things had obviouly gotten out of hand. His 4 year old sister, Elizabeth, also saw he mother sister and father get gunned down and erupted in tears. The soldiers, frighted shot through the floor boards and hit Elizabeth once or twice, stopping her screams. Zeke then did something horrible, he abandoned his family and home and slid through a small hole in the foundation. Zeke then ran, and ran, and ran for for days with no food and a little water he had found in a small irradiated puddle. He was dying. To make things worse a pack of savage, mutated dogs here shadowing him, feeling his weakness. That night the dogs surrounded him and the largest one stepped forward. He was almost as tall as the elven year old boy, mutated slightly by radiation. When they're eyes met however an understanding passed between them, Zeke needed a comPanion and the dog needed a master. So the dog separated from the pack and became his gaurdian. Zeke named dog Ashes after his light grey coat and somber personality. The two are best friends, having developed an emotional bond. Looking for a home but not finding anywhere calm enough for him where he felt like he fit in Zeke continued to walk south, setlling down here and there for weeks at a time before setting off again. Eventually the boy and his dog reached the Mojave and settled down once more, expecting to only stay for a few weeks.

sorry if that was short, it was from a time where i took less pride in my CSs, lol.

Lt. Andronicus
Spoiler
Name: (Second Lieutenant) Jonathan Ashford

Age: 37

six: Male

Race: Caucasian

Skills: Ashford is proficient in energy weapons and as an Enclave member has a good overall education background including a strong basis in science and engineering. While it may never come into use again, he is also able to fly, operate, and maintain a VTOL class aircraft considering his position as a Vertibird Pilot.

Due to the nature of his faction affiliation, he is also quite good at keeping secrets and has developed something of a knack for not being seen when he doesn’t want to be.

Physical appearance: Dark short-brown hair along with matching eye color and an average build/height. He is rather unremarkable in appearance and aims to keep it that way.

Personality: Suspicious and somewhat reclusive, Ashford has lived in fear for much of these past months of being captured by the NCR or the Brotherhood and placed into prison (again). As such, he is cautious to trust people and overall quite secretive in nature.

Weapons & armour/clothing: Ashford was forced to ditch his suit of Enclave power-armor for fear of it being recognized and instead carried with him Enclave light combat armor, which he found to be nearly identical to the pre-war models used by many wastelanders. When not in combat, he wears common wastelander clothing. He also has stored away his Enclave Officer Uniform. Although he does not pull it out often for obvious reasons.

He is armed with a scoped laser rifle, a laser-pistol side-arm, as well as a combat knife for hand-to-hand fighting if the situation absolutely requires it.

(Previous) Occupation(s): Enclave Officer, Vertibird Co-Pilot

Faction: Enclave

Backstory: Born shortly following the fall of the Oil Rig, Ashford grew up on the East Coast following the Enclave’s flight there before the fall of Navarro. As such, like many of the “New Generation” Enclave soldiers, the only leader he has known is President John Henry Eden and was always entranced by the President’s words. As he grew older, he soon joined the common soldiery. Not long after, Ashford began his training to become a vertibird pilot and soon was remarked upon as being one of the finest pilots in the Enclave of the United States Military and attained the rank of Second Lieutenant as a result.

His journey that would take him to Nipton began when under orders from President Eden, a group was assembled to discover the precise fate of Camp Navarro: contact with which had been lost years ago. Ashford was chosen as the co-pilot for the single-vertibird expedition and was one of six individuals to make the trip westward. After departing from Raven Rock, the vertibird landed at the Enclave’s Outposts in Chicago where the bird was made ready for the next major leg of the journey.

After departing from Chicago, the vertibird made its way towards the west coast and the core-region and was not far outside of New Reno when the vertibird experienced a rare catastrophic malfunction and crashed, leaving Ashford as the sole survivor of the group. After burying his comrades and departing with what supplies he could, he attempted to continue on to Navarro himself. Hoping against hope that members of the Enclave were still located there.

To his shock, his worst fears were confirmed when he learned that Navarro had been captured by the NCR and that Enclave members were being hunted like war-criminals to be put on trial and thrown in prison. This he found to his dismay first hand when he was found-out as an Enclave member by an observant old ranger after the man recognized the Enclave insignia and thrown in prison for several years.

Alone, stranded in apparently hostile territory, and in prison, Ashford despaired and vowed to do whatever he could to escape his predicament. His lucky break came when not long after the start of the events of in-game New Vegas where the prison where he was being held suffered a break out not unlike what occurred to the NCRCF.

After securing his old Enclave Officer Uniform which he had been allowed to keep, he disguised himself and began making his way east through NCR territory and eventually made it to the New Vegas region. Here he has made his way to the town of Nipton.

While he yearns to go back to East Coast, after his time in captivity he has begun to wonder whether or not that is a valid option. He remains loyal to the Enclave however and has now developed a hatred for the NCR and something of a distrust of the Brotherhood. But as he has not heard of the Enclave’s fight against the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel and has only witnessed the fight taken up by the Western Brotherhood against the NCR, he is in a state of ambivalence towards the Brotherhood as a whole. He has not yet fully formed an opinion on the Legion, who he has had little contact with.

Backstory: He was born In Freeside and lived the life of a typical Freeside thug for about half his life. All this changed however when he turned eleven. He was out looking for some scarp to sell so he could buy something for him and his brother to eat when a man in a nice looking business suit came walking by. The boy picked up a sharp piece of scrap metal and jumped infront of the man and told him to give away all of his caps. The man smile and opened his jacket revealing a small firearm that was hidden. The boy was frightened and started to shiver, but the man had taken some strange liking towards the boy and spoke to him. The boy listened closely to the man. Once the man was done speaking he handed the boy some cannisters of Jet and told him that he could make some money by selling it to the locals in Freeside. The boy smiled and thanked the nice man and walked away.

He sold Jet for the Omertas until he was fourteen. He had gotten enough money to buy a small gun and some ammunition for it, so he decided to become a bodyguard. Instead of protecting people however, he decided to lead them through a hidden area in Freeside, which he called "a safe route through Freeside." and mug them. He had gotten enough money to get into Vegas from the first person he mugged. He walked over to the gate guards and presented them his ill gotten gains and was finally let into Vegas.

Once he was inside, the first person he saw was that nice man he met earlier in his life. The same man who was kind to him even though the boy tried to mug him. He walked up to the man and poked him on the arm. The man saw the boy and asked him how he got into Vegas. Jimmy told him the entire story and the man smiled and offered the boy an oppuritunity to join the Omertas.Jimmey gladly accepted this offer.

Jimmy was trained to be a hitman for six years until he got his first job. He was supposed to kill a wealthy Brahmin Baron, who was staying at the Ultra-Luxe. Jimmey walked into the casino and gave the White Gloves all his weapons, except a pistol that he had hid. He saw the baron who was at the bar being closely guarded by some guard. Jimmey walked over to the bar and drank some Nuka-cola while he was waiting for the man to go to his room. Once the baron got up and walked to his room, Jimmy silently followed him. Once the man entered the room and locked the door so he could go to sleep for the night. Jimmy waited an hour, then sneaked up on the Baron's guard and strangled him. He took a key off of the dead mans body then opened the door to the baron's room. Jimmy shot the baron with his silenced pistol four times then dragged the body guards body into the room. He fired a bullet into the side of the dead guards head, then placed the gun in his hand. Jimmy left the casino and headed back to the Gomorrah. Jimmy succesfully completed his first mission.

Jimmy completed many more successful hits over the years,which included the following: The "accident" of Major Hudson of the NCR, The death of leader of the Scorpions, the murder of a Follower in Freeside which was set up like a jet accident, and the death of a singer at the Tops. He killed many more but these were some of the more memorable ones. He has one last hit set up before he heads to Nipton, and that is a hit on a man who "stole" money from the Gomorrah. Jimmy is being sent to Nipton so he can start to sell drugs there for the Omertas.
