Nationstates Name: Ralnis

Faction name: The River Peoples

Faction Leader: Chromebash Antler

Faction numbers: 100 members with two steamboats( They are relatively new to piracy after being former tribals. While they are outfitted with their own version of armor with metal scrap around it, they use things like crossbows, bows, and only have a few guns like assault rifles, and they are pretty shoddy at best. However, they are known as the largest of the river pirate groups but they still have a long way to go before becoming something truly pirate like)

Faction Bio: With the trade coming back into the Mississippi was making everything all good and profitable then things like River Piracy was coming back in style but with new Old World toys to have. One of the people to first take the advantage of the trade coming back on the River was the River People. Known at one time as a tribe that migrated from Alabama and had gotten really good when it came to the ways of handling machines and guns that they had settled up the River in the ruins of Monroe. They had been salvaging the ruins for food or anything equipment they can use, what they found were steamboats that they had used salvaged parts and started their rise of River Piracy as they used the steamboats to commit their own raids on traders and even small towns that made their trade from fishing or sea trading. They had quickly swell their numbers to be the largest of the River Pirate bands and have been expanding themselves into smuggling by going into more lawless places in trying to be able to sway people to do things that they want and also allow them to try and expand their reach of control if they wanted to. They also have been looking to find more steamboats and rule the Mississippi.

He led his people to Monroe to escape the various tribes and try to fish in the River but that was nearly five years ago and they have become the people that have spear head the River Piracy in Louisiana, but he still remembers the darkness and the drugs to compensate for the killing that he constantly does.

Anything else we should know?: Just because he is a River Pirate, he does not speak like one.

[Neo-Chicago]

Revised Application:

Nationstates Name: Neo-Chicago

Faction name: Order of the Gatekeepers

Faction Leader: Jeremiah Alexander

Faction numbers: A force of 70, calling themselves "Apollo Militants" wear hazmat suits reinforced with pieces of scrap metal, scavenged from various New Orleans hospitals, painted a blinding silver and gold. They are led by Jeremiah himself, who wears a frayed red makeshift cape as well. Weapons used include modified gauss rifles for the senior militants, laser rifles for most of the rest, and for those that prefer melee weapons, shishkebabs and trench knives. There are about 110 citizens as well, most of them carrying some variant of knife, however, and many arming themselves with laser pistols.

Faction Bio: The Order of the Gatekeepers are a group of citizens from Vault 62, a vault that was situated beneath the Timkin Wildlife Management Area. Considering that New Orleans was something of a "supernatural hotspot", the line between folklore and reality eventually blurred, and midway between the time of entering and exiting the vault, the vault's citizens were taught of vampires and witches just the same as they were math and science. After leaving the vault, Jeremiah saw a cross in the sky, and declared it to be a sign. They soon stole weapons from a former National Guard depot just outside New Orleans. They also scavenged various hospitals, eventually finding a total of 100 hazmat suits, as well as quite a few stimpacks. After that, they took over the remains of the St. Louis Cathedral, where Jeremiah saw the cross, and dedicated themselves to killing all creatures such as vampires. However, as these creatures did not exist in reality, and they had no depiction of them, the Gatekeepers eventually turned on the creatures tainted by radiation, such as the ghouls. To them, the terms "vampire" and "ghoul" were literal synonyms. When confronted with technology they had no knowledge of, such as more advanced robotics and forms of electricity, they condemned it, and burned its creators and users at the stake. They eventually restored and reinforced the St. Louis cathedral, christening it the Haven of St. Louis.

Starting Location: Haven of St. Louis, just outside of Rat City

Goals: To eradicate Louisiana of creatures tainted and deformed by radiation, and to rid it of the abominations that were once normal animals.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character Name: Jeremiah Alexander

Appearance: When not in his hazmat suit, he wears a dusty pre-war suit:

Equipment: Armor of Preservation (Jeremiah's hazmat suit and red cape combo), Lance of St. Louis (An AER14 Laser Rifle found in the St. Louis Cathedral, painted gold. Stronger than the normal Laser Rifle), three stimpacks, three and a half packs of cigarettes, and a silver-painted shishkebab.

Skills: Incredibly charismatic as well as very bold, a surprising prowess in science, and a sizable strength.

Personality: Jeremiah is a very faithful person, who attempts to do good in his eyes. He has a very noticeable presence in a room, and tends to be a natural-born leader.

Motives: To lead the Gatekeepers to victory over all things he deems unholy and profane, mainly the irradiated creatures.

Backstory: Jeremiah grew up in Vault 62, and was part of the third and final generation to be born in it. He is the great grandson of the first Overseer of Vault 62, and as such was named the leader of the Gatekeepers. His life in Vault 62 wasn't very notable, but he was one of the main spreaders of the vampire folklore. After exiting the vault, he saw the cross overhead St. Louis Cathedral in the distance, and knew to move the vault residents to it. His crusades began when a ghoul attempted to enter the Cathedral of St. Louis. He completely disintegrated the "foul beast", and put its ashes in an urn which he displayed on the altar in the St. Louis Cathedral. He is the main priest of the Haven of St. Louis, and regularly converts citizens of Rat City. Unlike other people who want to purge all those who were tainted by radiation, he seeks only to slay all those who have been physically and behaviorally deformed by the radiation. Many Gatekeepers informally call him "St. Alexander", although he does not condone the calling of him it, as he believes he is not worthy of sainthood until he purges Louisiana of the foul beasts once and for all.

Anything else we should know?: Jeremiah is a smoker, and claims tobacco to be the very "gift of God."

So does that work? One other thing, I was watching an episode of the X-Files last night, one about some inbred family in Pennsylvania, and I couldn't stop thinking about the Sawyers.

[Chrysaor]

Character Name: Hugo Sandoval

Appearance: He’s a 45 years old man but looks much older. He’s tall with grey eyes and greying dark hair. His body is lean, almost skinny though he often wears baggy clothes that make him looks bigger. With a big bushy beard and a wild mass of hair that his hat barely kept a lid on, he looks like a kind of dusty Santa Claus. His face is kind and his mannerism gentle. unless he’s fighting that is.

I imagine him looking like an older, more gaunt Oscar Isaac. Here would be what he looked like when he was a Centurion.

Equipment:
-Weapons: A machete gladius named Chico, a hunting rifle and some ammo.
-Armor: A cowboy hat, thick gloves, a worn duster with many pockets, custom-made gecko leather armor.
-Other: 4 stimpaks, a stealthboy, antivenoms, a flask, matches, food items, The Collected Works of Shakespeare which is torn in half.

Skills:
-Highly skilled in melee and hand-to-hand combat.
-Survival and stealth skills.
-Not terrible with a rifle.
-Educated & cultured.

Personality: Hugo is like your eccentric uncle, that one uncle you like best. He is a nice, jovial fella who kept to himself and doesn’t want any trouble. To most, he's just another kindly gentleman who's probably a war veteran. Though he looks like a doddering mountain man and walks at a slow pace, his mind is sharp & quick witted. His favorite thing in the world is talking to strangers, telling them tall tales about places he'd been to. He's intelligent and educated too. The man enjoys classic poetry- from John Donne to Shakespeare and teaching local children how to recite a few verses is something he greatly enjoys.

On the other hand, sometimes he is not all there, a side effect of his stealth boy. The device also gives him slight paranoia and emphasizes the effects of his PTSD. Hugo is aware of all these effects and tries to use that thing as little as possible. Finally is his all-consuming hatred of Caesar's Legion, it is one of the very few things that can makes him lose his cool.

Motives: Make the world a better place by killing as many Caesar's Legionnaire as possible.

Backstory: I'm lazy + I prefer to build a backstory IC-ly so I'll make it short: He was a veteran in Caesar's Legion before defecting because of ideological differences. Caesar was pissed of course and the guy barely escaped with life. Afterwards, he changed his name to Hugo Sandoval and moved as far east from Flagstaff as he could and ended up in Rat City. There he lived a quiet life, helping locals defend themselves against tribals, bandits and other local wildlife before Caesar sent troops right at his doorstep his doorstep once again. Hugo's now determined to keep them out of New Orleans, he does not expect he'll live through it but he'll try to take down as many of them as he could. His main tactics is guerrilla warfare, picking off Legionnaires one by one with his rifle or ambush them in close combat with his Chico.

Anything else we should know?: He's bisexual.

You're going to have an interesting time holding the vault i'm sure. Accepted.

-Snip-

The date we're at currently is 200 years after the fall of america, and the nuclear holocaust. Which means there are inconsistencies in the timing of your app, and the timing of the RP. Fix that then I'll take a look again.

Crawdaddy is too OG, I don't think I can handle it. Accepted.

-Snip-

Thanks for the edits. Accepted.

-Snip-

Even more incest, what a joy. Accepted.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Well, now that so many APPs have been accepted, how about getting an IC up?

[Neo-Chicago]

@Elerian Was I accepted? With my revised App on this page, I mean?

If the year is 2277, then the timing in my app should be ok. I may have worded it badly though, let me make a small timeline

2075 - Sawbones is first commissioned and put to work
2077 - Sawbones is damaged, taken to the Pentagon for repairs, bombs drop.
2254 (I think) - Brotherhood arrives at the Citadel and fixes Sawbones.
2260 - Sawbones is overloaded by a generator, able to become semi-sentient, forced to become the medic.
2277 - Sawbones fixed by a wanderer, escapes from Citadel. Eventually ends up in Washington

The character is actually in Fallout 3, I just gave him a bit more backstory.

[Elerian]

What's with you people and Chinese Assault Rifles? Anyhow, because you are former tribals, and it seems you're relatively new to piracy and banditry, only a few of your soldier will be able to have assault rifles. And, those that you have will be shoddy compared to everyone else's.

-Snip-

I didn't really notice it last time, but your people wouldn't be able to get their hands on Gauss weaponry really. At least not yet. I'm fairly certain that those are military grade weaponry and not something vaults would possess. I suppose I'll allow the laser weapons, however, only a handful of your people will be able to have them, since laser weaponry is pretty OP, and in Louisiana the climate, and whatnot would be hell on stuff like that.

Alright. Would assault rifles and the like be acceptable? They did scavenge some stuff from a National Guard Armory, as I mentioned in the bio.

We're before Raven Rock was destroyed by the Vault Dweller. However, we're after Caesar's first assault on Hoover Dam.

Does anybody other than the Brotherhood of Steel even have gauss rifles? The Brotherhood are the only people I've ever seen that have gotten their hands on them.

The Silver Rush in Freeside I believe sold some. And I think some raider bands in NV may have had some, otherwise its just the BoS.

First off, Caesar's men are quite a ways from New Orleans, and its unlikely anyone from New Orleans would know they're there. But, other than that, accepted.

Right now Hugo doesn't know about Caesar's people either, outside from rumors and hearsay from traveling merchants coming to Rat City. When he does know however his litte mission will start. I don't expect a centuria will be very subtle so it's only a matter of time.

Au contraire! A Centuria is only 80 men, they'll have to get crafty to be able to stand a chance against the natives of Louisiana. Caesar's men are very good killers, better than most, but 80 men isn't all that much.

-Snip-

Looks like I have probable enemy.

Elerian- How well do the outsiders know the Bayou ??

[Togeria]

I'm going to shoot a mutant in the face.

Why ?

Because Elerian is a sadist.

The timing should be fixed now.

-Snip-

Accepted. But, your Cathedral is in a semi-flooded part of New Orleans.

Well, don't shoot any Sawyers. Were inbred, not mutated.

-Snip-

Accepted. But, your Cathedral is in a semi-flooded part of New Orleans.

Well, I suspected as much. That's one of the main reasons I said the remains of the cathedral.

Because Elerian is a sadist.

Well, don't shoot any Sawyers. Were inbred, not mutated.

I'm not sure the Gatekeepers see the distinction. I expect Jeremiah to say something along the lines of "What is this tainted form of Christianity you practice? By God, what has happened to you? Do you know no shame?"
