Put them in Nashville.

Also, my Faction capital is in "Jackson, Mississippi" and they control all of Mississippi state.

Nashville is just south of there, I would prefer an Urban Area that can actually maufacture thingsa as my Capital, but that could a base.

You do know jackson is more than your faction's capital. it is mississipi's real life capital, I think.


A good urban area for mouse would be Indianopolis or Evansville, Indiana. indiana is right above Kentucky and I've been there many times. Very fun,

I like Nashville better

Hey name. When you start the Ic, please post our faction info we posted under the factions. I'd hate to have to go through 7 pges of text to remember something you know?


Like, include the conomic/politicial/military info for each faction if u can.

Alright.

Faction: The Warren Republic (AKA Warrenites)

Description:

Warren has its roots directly in the aftermath of the Great War. In the immediate aftermath of the war a small band of survivors found themselves on the brink of annihilation from the ghouls that roamed the countryside. Despite terrible odds, the group found a home in Warren and fought a terrible struggle to survive. After only a few years, the Warren began to prosper and became one of the first strongholds of civilization to appear out of the wasteland. People from all walks of life rose to the challenges that faced them and great leaders emerged.

Through many longs years of hard work, Warren has managed to prosper through its timber and textile industries, providing much needed goods to smaller settlements from all over Arkansas. The Warrenites slowly expanded into the surrounding countryside( which is a surprisingly lush ) over the years and is now a fledgling regional power. Their current situation is not good, they face destruction from the NMLA and the leaders of the Republic has been expanding the armed forces as quickly as their economy will allow them to.

Warren is now a large population hub with manufacturing equipment taken from far away cities before the existing nations could organize themselves. This advantage in time is the only thing that has allowed Warren to stand against threats that newly developed cities could not. Now under the shadow of the impending Super-Mutant horde the Warren Republic is undergoing a new era of growth and development.

Currently, the Warren Republic is led by President William McClellan, a energetic man who is driving the small nation to glory or to ruin. However, he is also a military enthusiast and is never seen out of military uniform

Warrenites maintain trade ties with the Mississippi Alliance as well as the Louisiana Republic. The Warren is a large supplier of manufactured items for small settlements all over Arkansas in return for other raw materials. The Warren tries to exploit the division between other factions whenever possible in order to ensure they get the best deals.

The Warren Army: The Army is fairly large, well trained and well motivated fighting machine. While they lack high tech equipment, they are well organized compared to many other armed forces in the wastelands.

Current Strength: 5,000 Regular Army, 20,000 more in the reserves

Equipment: The Army has the ability to manufacture large numbers of old weapons but has to rely on trade for more advanced weaponry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UStankParis-edit1.jpg, the heaviest thing the Warrenites could get their hands on

CS:

Name: William McClellan

Race: Caucasian

Age: 35

Height: 5'10

Weight: 150lbs

Appearance: McClellan is a man of average height and stature, possessing none of the physical intimidation of other leaders who rule with iron fists. He has neatly cut brown hair that is carefully combed and dark brown eyes which appears to burn a hole in whatever he looks at. He also likes to have a neatly combed mustache that makes him appear more "gentlemanly".

Clothing: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZfcIzdiz7bE/SXC4MBUXrQI/AAAAAAAABGo/ZcIcJ9U6b0A/s400/General_Krukov.jpg, with numerous self awarded medals similar to what that man is wearing

Personality: President McClellan is a pompous man who loves nothing more than to see his troops parading down city streets with a band playing his favorite marches. He is a man unwilling to accept failure or defeat and believes that it is his destiny to become the new Napoleon. His delusions of grandeur has often kept him from making sensible decisions but it cannot be denied that he possesses an energy that is rarely seen in the wastes. Capable to working for days on end without rest McClellan once proudly boasted that he could "do it all!"

Though on the surface it may seem that he is a madman, it is clear that his actions speak for itself. Warren has already tripled its growth in the last few years under McClellan and is unlikely to stop anytime soon. He is truly a force of nature encased in a small package.

Bio: William was born in the small town of Warren, Arkansas. His father was a wealthy caravan owner and thus William was entitled to a privileged life. He had the best of everything, or at least the best you could find in the wastes. He grew up learning stories of great conquerors of old. Then he learned the truth of the harsh world he lived in.

It was a world where a marauding raider band was able to drive right through the center of town and massacre over 200 Warrenites. From that day onwards McClellan became obsessed with the dream of becoming a major power. He wanted nothing less than a world where the tiny Warren Republic was a force rivaling that of the Louisiana Republic or the Mississippi Alliance.

For many years he worked his way up the ranks of Warren, eventually becoming president. From there he began his most radical reforms and set Warren on its way to become a powerful city state. Now he is poised to seize power in the greater tri-state region, though he will have to be weary of the greater powers that already rule much of the region. Now the stage is set for a radical shift in the balance of power. . .

Oh, I meant Warren, Arkansas.

I see, well, nothing the edit button can't fix. One moment.

Sounds good.

Erm, what year does the RP begin? I was assuming 2290, though after re-reading the OP, that's just when the pact was made.

I need to know in order to add the finishing touches to my sheet.

Okay, I assumed the year was 2290. If it's not, I can easily change the sheet.

Name: Pierce Lindeman
Race: Caucasian
Age: 55
Allegiance: Louisiana Republic
Office: President of the Louisiana Republic

Height: 6’
Weight: 165 lbs.
Appearance: Handsome though not dazzling. Lindeman is rather plain looking in all aspects of his appearance and just about everything is in proportion. In spire of his age, his skin is, generally speaking, smooth aside from small wrinkles and periorbital dark circles around the eyes. These are a sign of fatigue combined with age – the fatigue being evident in his pale skin, but this could also be as a result of his vault upbringing.
Lindeman’s grey, cropped hair is thinning and balding, which pisses him off greatly and is willing to pay top dollar in order to conceal this sad truth. He sports no facial hair.

Apparel: A black single briasted, two-piece suit with a shawl lapel. Wears spectacles in order to combat his myopia – this near-sightedness has kept him out of military service over the course of his career.

Personality: A deep, quiet thinker, but also a powerful speaker. Lindeman stores his energy pent up inside rather than realising it on whomever him disagrees with. When necessary, he will channel it appropriately, often to devastating effect.

Bearing that in mind, one could conclude Lindeman is judicious in his work, which is true. He possesses a solid work ethic and coupled with his meticulousness this often leads to positive results, even if they are more than likely to serve the long term.

Lindeman is, by and large, very forward looking. He cares for economic growth, social stability and a brighter future. If this means shafting a section of the current population then so be it. Despite being a strong proponent of meritocracy, he’s willing to focus on the currently successful institutions/organisations, etc if that’s what the Republic is calling for.

While the Republic’s shift of power is in favour of the head of state (as opposed to the Senate), Lindeman is certainly willing to listen to contrasting opinion and adjust his policies if convinced. Still, in foreign affairs, he is much more dogged and uncompromising.

Bio: Born in Vault 81 (2235) to Alistair and Nigella Lindeman, he is the grandson of Jacob Lindeman, the legendary revolutionary whom led the toppling of the ill-educated, incompetent Overseer and his panel of advisors.

Vault 81 was designed to test the effects of role reversal in society and the behaviour of the subjects. Vault Tek accepted applicants of diverse economic backgrounds, from menial routine workers to directors of successful corporations. Those previously less well off were entitled to unique privileges and effectively governed the Vault, whereas those of previously more well off backgrounds were simply the dogs to be commanded.

Of course, such an experiment wasn’t built to last, and over the course of a few decades, the lower castes schemed and took great measures to dismantle their rulers. It worked, and Jacob Lindeman (with the support of his fellow revolutionaries) assumed position of Overseer. Unlike the previous government, he utilised the Vault’s top quality resources and facilities effectively and after a bumpy start, established a fair, harmonious society. His kind leadership has been inherited by Pierce Lindeman.

When Pierce Lindeman was five years old (2240), the Vault door was opened. Backed by well-maintained equipment, Vault 81 used their technological superiority to expand and annex surrounding communities and tribes. The newly-annexed communities were mostly self-sufficient, so the Vault didn’t need to expend too much of their resources and food (which was produced via hydroponics). For a great length of time, this continued as the norm. Over the years, Pierce Lindeman advanced in the government (behind a fellow named Kessler) and helped to educate the people in his political ideals (which I’ll explain later).

Before the Louisiana Republic could be formed, however, a faction known as the Mississippi Alliance absorbed Vault 81 (not the Vault itself) and its communities (I’ll leave the year – and therefore Pierce’s age at this point - up to you, Name). Angered, they mobilised an army and expanded eastwards and seized New Orleans, which now serves as the nation’s capital. Senators were elected to represent communities dotted about Louisiana and Norman Kessler was elected president – he proceeded to appoint ministers and such.

NOTE: Right, I see that the bio was more of a backstory of the Republic more than anything, but like Adam, I wish to leave my character’s backstory and personality so I can develop it a little more over time. I will add the inner workings of the Republic (and how Lindeman became president) in a later post, with a few more titbits of information.

EDIT; After some thought, I realised this probably does take place after 2290 considering the Louisiana Republic (according to you) was established then. It doesn't really make sense for it to be a superpower after a year.

Apologies if this contradicts the lore you’ve set, but I honestly can’t see any, unless I’ve misunderstood.

The RP starts in 2230. So yea.

Accepted.

Then why do you mention 2240 & 2290 on the main page if those dates haven't happened?

Did you mean 2330, by any chance?

Are you sure I cant be in East Texas? Pretty please.

I meant 2250, whoops.

And No, I have plans for that region.

i'm fine whenever it starts but if so, can it be on the weekend? Just suggesting, no harm done if not...

I had plans too, but now I sad and must come up with new backstory.

I have created a rough http://the--enclave.deviantart.com/#/d3ffuyv, pending approval. Hosted on Deviant Art:

That map is pretty good.

Great map Enclave

Could you please post this map not on devian map? pretty please because My browser on my ps3 can't open it. well it shows devian art and a big space of green...
