» Wed May 30, 2012 11:27 pm 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...

Name: James Burns
Age: 33

Faction (NCR, Legion, BOS, None. Etc): Used to do guard duty for the Followers of the apocalypse but for now, none.
Backstory: Was born on in a town on the outskirts of the NCR where he was trained to use guns and to live off the land. At age 16 he left his home town and found work catching criminals for the NCR, he did this for many years, never once being injured by the men he captured or killed. At age 25 James tracked a criminal into the Divide where a new community was being formed, James played cat and mouse for several months in the abandoned military bases, during these months James found the general uniform he wears, he also made friends in Ashton who helped him track down and kill the target.
After the target was dead James stayed, becoming a deputy sheriff in the town and for several years helping drive off criminals and mercenaries hired by the NCR to ‘encourage’ the residents of Ashton to be annexed by the NCR. James also helped fend off attacks from the Legion and had chased off some of the legion members into the Mojave when the Courier brought an old world package to one of the military bases, destroying the town. James, unable to head back to the divide went to Vegas, seeking fame and fortune. While passing through freeside James was stabbed in the back by a freeside thug with a switchblade, James was able to kill the thug and go to the Mormon fort to seek medical attention. After being patched up by the followers James offered his services as a guard to the followers, keeping the switchblade that was only inches from killing him.
At the second battle of Hoover dam James helped defend Mormon fort from the violence which was taking place outside. After the battle James became stressed by constant attacks on the Mormon fort. One month after the battle of hoover dam James saw a familiar person walking through towards the strip, an old friend from Ashton, after James had talked to him he left and went into the strip. James never heard from him again. A few months later James left the service of the followers and wandered the wastes, eventually coming upon the ruins of Nipton, where he decided to stay.

Name: Jack Mulder
Age: 26
six: Male
Race: Human, Caucasian
Skills: Science, mathemathics and other calculations particularly. Chemistry as well. Not much of an combatant, at least when not in chems.
Physical appearance: Skinny, weak and of medium height. Short cropped, black hair and a light beard. Hazel eyes and lips that make him look like he's smiling all the time.
Personality: Jovial, also has an obsession of calculating everything. Addicted to chems in general, most chems can provide him his fix.
Weapons & Clothing: A rusty, old Varmint Rifle and a kitchen knife and a NCRCF guard uniform with the NCRCF tags scratched off.
Previous occupation: Jack was among those PGs who attacked Primm, but was lucky enough to evade the Courier onslaught.
Faction: ex-Powder Ganger, isn't a part of them anymore but has good relations with them.
Back story: Jack was a model citizen of the NCR once, a teacher of sorts, wandering from town to town. 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. And to have a home again....
