Introduction:
The year is 2245, nearly 200 years after the Earth was scorched by atomic fire. On the faithful day when all life nearly ceased to be, and the ashes of the old world settled themselves onto the cracked grounds of once great cities while time stopped and the world waited patiently for death to blow out the now dim flame of humanity-a group of 2,000 people managed to outrun and hide from the destruction of mankind. For these 2,000 people took refuge in Vault 52, where they too waited for the pendulums to be reset. However outside Vault 52 humanity's flame was not extinguished, but rather, like it always had, life found a way to keep progressing forward. Though the ideals of a nation that once expanded from coast to coast lay dead and forgotten, the ideals of survival and unity did not. Now in 2245 the desperate hideaways from time's cold verdict begin to rebuild, and while the Bayous of Louisiana have seemingly been picked clean, the swamps still hold secrets. Secrets which wait silently to be discovered by scavengers and explorers, secrets which might better be left undiscovered.
Story:
In the year 2245, those left in the Louisiana Wasteland or the Bayou as its become collectively known as, have begun to rebuild their society. Because of this many factions and towns have popped up, each one looking for its own little slice of the Bayou to claim. While none seek total control, few if any do not have some enemy somewhere that they would like to see extinguished. Two of these groups have recently begun to gain more land and power, these two major groups are the confederation of Smugglers hailing from the Dixie Wasteland known simply as the Crows seek to control I-10 and I-49 for these two roads are the life blood of the Bayou. The second group is the group of Swamp Folk lead by a wealthy profiteer named Biggy, Biggy seeks to control nearly all of the rivers and roadways around Rouge and N'Orleans as they would provide him with the best opportunity for profit to be made off of their drugs, guns, and other various goods.
While other factions seek to control for strictly monetary reasons, others still seek control of a different kind of wealth, the wealth of knowledge, and the wealth of unity.

2.) No controlling Major named NPCs unless I or one of the people helping me run this (depending on popularity) gives you permission. You can manipulate any of the minor named npcs, and generic npcs, but major ones are off limits. The way to distinguish a major from a minor is whether or not their full name is given I.E.
