Nipton Rebuilt Thread 9

Post » Fri Aug 31, 2012 12:39 pm

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.

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.

(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.

She was paladin and a soldier, a complete opposite to his persona. She was tough and hardy, never shy of expressing her opinion and using a weapon whenever possible to fix her problems.

When Helios one was overrun and McNamara called for a retreat to hidden valley, his wife stayed behind ensuring the scribes made it out safely. Knowing he would leave willingly without her, she knocked him and had her squire carry him to the Bunker. When he came to and found out that she died defending the retreat, he hit the bottle hard to escape his sorrow. Ever since he became more desolate and avoided people. His work started to add up and became a burden on the other members. McNamara called him into his chambers and told him that until he gets his act together he would have to leave.

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.

Name: Adamus “Chester Osiris”

Age: 25

six: Male

Race: African American

Backstory: Adamus was born into the Legion and was trained to be a warrior from birth. He proved to be a quick leaner and excelled in his training, and as the years passed he grew more and more deadlier. When Adamus turned sixteen he was made into a full Legionnaire, but instead of being put into a Contubernia like most Legion recruits, he was instead placed in the Frumentarii. Adamus thrived in his new environment and became one of Caesars personal agents.

Around the time the First Battle for Hoover Dam took place, Adamus was doing a personal mission for Caesar in Arizona. When he returned to Caesar he was disappointed to hear that the Legion had lost, but he made a wise decision not to mention it to Caesar. Adamus started to work with Vulpes Inculta and one day they travelled to Nipton where Vulpes came up with his own lottery. Vulpes gave everyone a lottery ticket and started to announce numbers, the first lot were the lucky losers because they got decapitated, it was a quick death they were unworthy of. The next bunch were crucified, Adamus was responsible for three crucifixions. Then the rest of the people were enslaved except for two Powder Gangers, one was let go with no harm whatsoever and the other had his legs smashed. Adamus killed countless citizens of Nipton that day and is proud of himself for doing so.

When the Second Battle of Hoover Dam took place the Legion lost, but so did the NCR. Unfortunately the Legion lost Caesar and Legate Lanius took his place. This had no affect on the Frumentarii and they continued their work. Eventually Adamus decided to take the name Chester Osiris and became a wastelander, after he heard Nipton had been rebuilt he decided he’d become a citizen of the town and burn it to the ground like he did before.

Skills: Adamus is an amazing warrior, his weapons of choice are swords and spears, but he knows that you won’t survive in the wasteland long with just swords and spears. He’s proficient with guns, but not nearly as much as he is with a sword. On top of that being in the Frumentarii had made him very stealthy and sneaky.

Physical appearance: Adamus is very dark and has an athletic build, he stands at six foot five and weighs 228lbs. He has a square face and dark brown eyes, he’s also bald. Adamus also has a few scars on his body.

Personality: Adamus is a dark man who has little regard for human life, he is willing to do anything for the Legion, anything. To his fellow Legionaries, Adamus is kind and respectful but everyone else is a profligate and Adamus doesn’t acknowledge profligates.

Weapons & armour/clothing: Adamus would normally be in his Legion armor but since he’s decided to go undercover in Nipton so he’s wearing a dirty, light brown long sleeve shirt with black dress pants a pair of combat boots. As for weapons, Adamus has a basic longsword that he scavenged from a house and a 9mm pistol.

Name: Jonathan Theodor Watson. (Ideally, John for short)
Age: 27
six: Male
Race: Caucasian

Skills: Jonathan is a talented medical practitioner and satisfactory surgeon, a career path who learnt from the dedicated teachers’ of the Followers of the Apocalypse; along with his own trial and error out in the wasteland. As part of his tutelage, he carries a sharp tongue and comparable mind, as adept linguistic, very articulate and historian – Not forgetting his fond hobby of husbandry. Among those are other wealthy titbits of interests he picked up among the Followers, stuff that are just purely of interest to him.

Physical appearance: Jonathan stands at just around 5’11” – A slender character, no bulging muscles or defined abs crafted from the world, quite a standard body actually. Shaggy brown hair with whiskers of an unshaved face, matched with blue eyes and youthful features.

Personality: Mild-mannered and compassionate, however, quite often, nothing that he actually intends, mind; He comes off as presenting a superior demeanour. This is often down to his manner of speech and attitude, he honestly means nothing by some remarks or demands he makes. Down at the core, an upstanding gentleman. He does consider himself a quirky and peculiar however, he seems too innocent at times, and nothing really seems to get him down. As a physician, he maintains and fanatically upholds the Hippocratic Oath; healing regardless of agenda, and as such, refuses to wield a weapon that would bring harm onto others. A dangerous characteristic for someone of the Mojave, yet one that has safeguarded him more than any gun.

Clothing: He wears a simple large black vest, with a navy long sleeved undershirt. With sand embedded stained jeans and army boots, acquired as a gift from thankful New Californian soldiers. Promptly replacing his desolate and falling apart shoes. Stitched across the sleeves is the Caduceus within a red cross, the symbols of medicine, on his vest, the stitched symbol of the Followers. With him is a bandolier of medical supplies strapped across his chest, and a large satchel of other medical supplies and items. The bag also contains the Caduceus within a red cross stitched on the front. In terms of armour and protection, he carries none. In retrospective, he is worth more alive than dead.

Faction: Followers of the Apocalypse.

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.

To combat this the Storm Callers travel through the worst areas via underground warrens dug by giant mutated mole rats. Henry and his people have learned how to train these beasts for a multitude of tasks. Henry has had a troubled past after being orphaned at the age of eleven when a rival tribe called the Scorpionz attacked and butchered his family and friends. Henry later grew up to be a brutal raider known beheading his enemies and taking their heads as trophies. Henry left his tribe at the age of 26 to seek his own path, he has since ended up in the Mojave and wishes to have a new life where people would not know of his past deeds. But such deeds cannot be forgotten or pushed aside.

Laws of Nipton
Spoiler
Mayor: Alexander

Council: Cat, Steve, Ryan, Sam

Town Manager: (Council votes on manager by recommendation of the mayor)

(Also no ousting of elected members by force. However, they can be recalled, but that will require a 3/4 majority of the residents and then the mayor would have to agree to the terms. If recalled a special election will be held to elect new member)


These are our laws as they currently stand as of this moment (They can be changed by the council. The drafting of these laws is credited to a weird older man sitting at the corner of the bar while they discussed various issues. He then hammered them to the front door of town hall, never to be heard again, until he will be once needed again [img]file:///C:%5CUsers%5CLevi%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image002.gif[/img]):

Preamble

We the new citizens of Nipton, in a time of need, have come together to write down these here our laws. Nipton desolate and set apart from the world, owes allegiance to no one. Nipton is sacred neutral ground upon which, who you owe allegiance does not matter. Our citizens have left their lives behind and begun a new. The forge of friendship and strength is what will make us prosper.

Sam Jenkins - Home – Morning

Sam smirked as she looked at Ace, she could tell from the look on his face he was confused and hurting. She may not be able to kill him physically, but this was the last push she needed to ensure that he was done for psychologically. She had just inflicted the most damage possible she could have to his mental state. She was doing Reggie a favor with this, she was getting him out of the way. Reggie refused to make a decision, and she had just made one for her. She knew how Reggie felt about Ace, many a nights did Reggie spend reminiscing about Ace and telling her stories. Every time it would make her wanna hurl and the only way to get her to shut up was to take her to bed.

Of the 8 months that Ace was gone, Reggie would talk about him almost every day. She would yell at Reggie and tell her that he was gone but in her mind he was still around. His return must have truly messed her up even more. Was he still that figment that hunted her during those long months, or was he really here? The fact that Brandon resembled Ace, made things worse for Reggie, and no wonder she took so quick to the boy. Even though the two had agreed to care for him, Reggie became possessive of him, and anything else Ace had owned. SHe safe guarded everything he had, and she bet that whatever she had, she would have taken for him, especially that silly memorial gift that she said she was gonna give to Ace once he had returned.

Steve came to the house and had his gun trained on Ace. Sam just smiled and hoped that he would kill Ace then and there. However, she wanted Ace to suffer, and his death would be a gift for him not a punishment. She was about to speak to Steve but they were interrupted by another man aiming his gun at Steve. They argued and things calmed down. "Steve put the gun down, he is just here for some information and I gave it to him. Let him go, he has to go on a journey right now, and find his own way. Take the wagon Ace and go looking." Ace looked at her and left the room not even glancing at Steve nor the other man.

She just laughed and looked at the two men. “Come on, I’ll make you both some breakfast.” With that said she headed into the kitchen and whipped up some eggs and toast, with coffee. She served the table and excused herself to her room, she needed to feed Rachel. Plus she needed to rejoice in the room, his downfall began, and she barely had to move a finger. Reggie had done most of the work for her, and she was thankful for that.
