I'm a drug runner, so if anyone needs me to make runs....I got you.

I'll be home in a few hours, until then I can't accept apps. However, y'all can look through the updated factions list.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

I wasn't trying to say that the Brotherhood or Enclave should made weaker, I admitted to a platoon of them being able to wipe out an army in the prior sentence. I was implying that the numbers could be decreased a tad, since they are so potent. Especially considering the maximum amount a faction is able to have is 200, including civilians IIRC - so even a small amount of Enclave/BoS soldiers could feasibly take on scores of other factions. Hell, I doubt Colonel Autumn even has twenty-five soldiers and related supplies to just throw across America to chase after some idle rumor.

But then again, since Lunas' supply situation is so shitty, that may make up for it.

Frankly, a half dozen Enclave soldiers could probably wipe out several entire tribes all at once. In Fallout New Vegas, if you didn't already know, there's a quest that involves the remnants of the Enclave (letting you choose to ally them with either the NCR or Caesar's Legion), and a few ending slides about them depending on who you allied them with and what faction takes Hoover Dam; well, let me quote one of the endings for you, just to demonstrate how strong the Enclave is in canon Fallout.

"Merciless in their assault on the NCR, the Remnants struck fear into the hearts of even the centurions at Hoover Dam. Caesar's heirs aggressively pursued the Remnants into Arizona, losing hundreds of legionaries in the process and gaining nothing in return." - http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Enclave_Remnants

Do you want to know how many soldiers the Enclave Remnants have in FNW? Five (or four or six, depending on your choices in the Remnants' quest). So, yes, a small amount of Enclave or Brotherhood soldiers could handle scores of other factions. However, do you want to know exactly why both the Enclave and the Brotherhood would send more than a handful of soldiers to secure the vault for themselves? It's because both the Brotherhood and Enclave have incredibly tough soldiers, and while the local tribes and Caesar's Legion wouldn't be much trouble for either of them, the Enclave wouldn't be able to take out the Brotherhood paladins with only a handful of soldiers and vice versa. If both the Brotherhood and Enclave are serious about getting into the vault, they would both know to send enough soldiers to handle the opposite faction. So, no, I don't think it's inappropriate for the BoS or the Enclave to have a decent amount of soldiers.

Just wanted answers to questions, that is all.

Both the Enclave and Brotherhood are spread incredibly thin. Neither can afford to send full compliments of soldiers with incredibly valued Power Armor into the marshes and swamps of Louisiana, which are probably hell on mechanics, for a treasure that are nothing but rumors. Note how only the Brotherhood Outcasts are looking for the treasure, implying that only the desperate fringes of the BoS would embark on such an adventure. Even Lunas says in his bio, that the mission his character was sent on was done without Presidental approval.

And as you said, even elderly soldiers in outdated Power armor can mow down scores upon scores of the average red-shirt in Fallout America and certainly whatever assortment of back-water city state militias and inbreds they'll find in New Orleans. Why would the Enclave send extra soldiers in anticipation of the Brotherhood that doesn't even legitimately operate down South and why would the Brotherhood send additional valuable suits of Power Armor in anticipation of the Enclave - of which, to their knowledge, was completely annihilated in the destruction of the Oil Rig and Navarro, Eden's men didn't make themselves known until Project Purity was operational - when they have very real threats of the NCR and Legion needing desperate attention?

Well, I suppose you're right, it is somewhat naive to think that either the Enclave or Brotherhood would expect the others' presence in Louisiana, or send extra soldiers on wild treasure hunts. I concede your point.

I'm glad to see people are willing to debate on topics civilly.

I appreciate it.

[Prusslandia]

Nationstates Name: Prusslandia, but call me Pruss.

Faction name: The Sawyer (pronounced Sah-yur) Family

Faction Leader: Jebediah 'Jeb' Sawyer, affectionately called Paw by the rest of the family. I'll post his app if my faction app is good.

Faction numbers: 180 family members, eight outsiders kept for consumption and pleasure, ten hogs, and a massive hunting dog named Mojo.

The warriors of the family, often six to seven feet tall, use an assortment of vicious weapons. From machetes made from old boat hulls, to makeshift scattershot rifles, the Sawyers are adept at murder, and kill without mercy. For armour, they wear croc hides and metal sheets.
Faction Bio: The Sawyer family has been in the Bayou's for as long as anybody can remember. Known for being reclusive and fiercely independent, leaving only to attack other tribes and trade with the few outsiders they trust, the saying 'Keep it in the family' is kept close to heart. Countless generations of inbreeding have turned them into barely human monstrosities, ruled by primal instinct and a warped form of down south Christianity.

Starting Location: The Bayou's around Baton Rouge.

Goals: Kill anybody who tries to hurt family, eat well, and keep the outsiders of their land.

Ugh....

Could you maybe not use stereotypical southern accents? They aren't funny; hell, speaking as a southern person myself, they're actually kinda offensive.

At least you hear them somewhat often down in the south. I have no idea who came up with the "Chicago accent". Personally, I've only heard cops sound like that.

[Togeria]

Don't like talking about the accent in CO.

Thank you. Nobody likes to hear ridiculous, offensive stereotypes about their culture.

Sorry for getting off-topic, but I had to say something.

[Ontorisa]

Character Application

Character Name: Désiré "D" Monet

Appearance: (Prefer not to, sorry. I like trying to describe characters) About 5"10, light brown hair which is about 3 inches long with the front spiked up naturally, green eyes, 172 lbs and in good condition (good stamina, good muscular:fat ratio and good muscles in general allowing him to survive for so long). Monet is about 24 years old and possesses a small beard around his face (from not shaving, but it's a good looking beard).

Equipment:

.308 Winchester Browning X-Bolt Hunter Rifle (A bunch of rounds scattered within his survival bag and his vest pockets. No counted number)
9x19mm SW SD9 Pistol (Possesses 4 16-round magazines)
Multipurpose Survival Knife
4 Stimpacks
2 Sleep Medication Tablets (Helps Monet sleep when the going gets tough)
1 800mL Reusable Canteen
120 Bottle Caps
2 Snares
1 Bear Trap
1 Ball of Twine

Skills:

From his time in the swamps of Louisiana (exaggeration, he doesn't usually go in there), Monet is a good hunter, being experienced to tracking, trapping and hunting animals and, if he needs to, people.
Monet is a good public speaker, able to make a point and get it across quickly and efficiently
Monet is self reliant on the environment, thanks to his hunting trips with his brothers, while sometimes he will go to civilization to search for items he cannot find in the wild alone
Monet, in his limited time in civilization, has had numerous uses for weapons against people. As a result he has moderately good weapons handling skills.

Personality:

Sarcastic, cold and calculating to most people he meets. The few he trusts and knows well, he can be warm and good natured as well as a joker sometimes. Due to the stress and conditions he is under, Monet suffers from sleep deprivation sometimes which usually results in frustration and anger being taken out on others.

Motives:

Monet does not possess a specific goal to achieve in Louisiana, instead his main focus is to survive the brutal conditions of the fallout, against anything that may come against him.

Backstory:

Monet's roots can be tracked back to the Acadian Deportation from New Brunswick, Canada where his ancestors made the trip down to Louisiana to start life anew. While the Acadians were not initially welcomed into Louisiana, Monet's ancestors managed to settle down and integrate into the local population. When he was born in a small village in northern Louisiana called North Point, Monet's parents insisted that the children were all taught French and English, regardless if they ever used French in the harsh outside environment of the world. As a result, Monet is bilingual, able to speak French and English fluently. As well, even though it was tough on the family's money, Monet's parents tried to have the typical French Canadian Catholic Family, a lot of children. Out of the 7 children who were born, only Monet, his two older brothers and younger sister have managed to survive into adulthood.

In their teenage years, Monet would usually traverse parts of the wilderness with his older brothers in search of food and interesting valuables. This started Monet's passion for the apocalyptic environment in Louisiana. Although he rarely visited the deadly swamps and groves, his interest and curiosity would eventually get the better of him.

When he was 19 years old, Monet was originally supposed to head West to Nevada to enlist in the ranks of the NRA for good pay alongside a few friends that he had made in Louisiana. That plan went down the drain a few days after they set out as they were ambushed by a group of raiders, who, after an extensive firefight between the travellers and the raiders, managed to overcome the group, killing two of the five members before they scattered. Monet managed to survive the encounter, fleeing to the south further into the depths of Louisiana. This was where Monet was struck with reality as he watched plenty of horrifying things make their way to him in hopes of killing and eating his body for a snack. It was also where Monet realized that he could not rely on the hopes of a civilization rebirth, and thus he began to live off the land, picking off wild animals and skinning, gutting and cutting them up for food and for trade in civilizations. He was what many called, a trapper, or what his enemies call, a poacher. Due to his good business supply to local merchants, Monet began to build up a local reputation around small villages as a survival trapper/, who survives and makes his pay off of the land. However, with the recent incursions of the Legion in his trapping territory has jeopardized his ways of living. It is something he cannot live for.

RP examples: Pretty recent II RP of mine that's struggling atm, Failed P2TM RP but put a lot of detail into it, Trying to work out my PT skills

Anything else we should know?: I'm probably going to also make a faction app in a separate post. It depends if this gets accepted.
