Fallout: Resurgence

Following the collapse of the Legion’s mighty empire, which spanned from New Reno to the Mississippi, and from the Rio Grande to the borders of Khan territory in Canada, the Mojave lay independent. Though nearly a hundred years earlier, these lands were fought over by the Bear and the Bull, the former was slowly ripped apart from within, and the latter was destroyed through a second nuclear war with the Enclave, the Brotherhood and Tesla’s Army. What was left of civilized society in the Mojave came together in New Vegas, and rebuilt the once great city. Mr House was long dead after the Legion sacked the Strip in 2349, and most of the once great families and gangs in the city had been assimilated into the Legion ages ago, or fled to California.

It is 2393, and New Vegas is swiftly growing under a democratic government. The population soared after refugees from New Reno, now ruled by Legionary remnants, and Phoenix, where slaves rebelled and escaped former Legion masters, migrated across the wastes to the Mojave. Freeside, North Vegas, Westside, South Vegas, the Strip, Primm, Goodsprings and even Nipton have become heavily populated areas. McCarran is now a massive slum for refugees from the East. These large populations from all over the wastes bring different groups of people all under the same proverbial roof. Now, many new families and gangs attempt to control the people of the Mojave.

Now, when I said earlier that New Vegas’s government was democratic, I was only partially correct. The government of New Vegas has two bodies, the City Council, an oligarchic panel of representatives from the various families on the Strip, and the Senate, which is made up of two elected officials from every city or neighborhood in the Mojave, including the Strip itself. The current situation is bit tense, as the former family residing in the Lucky 38, the Riveras, has been ousted by the Valerians, who are descendants of the great Legate Marcus Valerius Tertullian, former governor of Denver, who escaped before the city was destroyed by Enclave missiles, and built up a small personal army for himself out of former legionaries. They have been accepted into the City Council, not because of their virtue, but because the Riveras were universally hated after an attempted coup they organized a few years earlier, and starting an outright war over the Strip would decrease profits.

So, though all the players may change, and tyrants like Caesar or House rise and fall, war...war never changes.

The New Sea Territory wrote:Official Westside Lore

Westside barely survived the second Legion invasion in 2349. The few who were able to hide in alleyways crawled out to find that, though the neighborhood was slaughtered, they didn't torch the buildings. The farms and stores were looted for supplies, but nothing more. They proceeded to rebuild, and functioned reasonably well under Legion "occupation". The Legion rarely came to Westside, and mostly, they dealt with the militia, who collected just enough taxes to make them go away. Under this system, the Westside Co-Op grew, and they began revitalizing the community. Victims of Legion atrocities in Northern Nevada, and refugees from wars between California city-states, settled down in mass numbers in the 2360s, which lead to small conflicts between locals and squatters. That quickly subsided when the Legion came, and started conscripting Westside residents to fight on the Northern Front against the Enclave, Tesla's Army and, to a lesser extent, the Great Khans.

Eventually, the Westside militia had enough and ran the Legionaries out of town, around 2373. They never came back because the Legion had bigger problems to deal with. From here on, Westside was officially independent, and had the largest population of any of the New Vegas neighborhoods. The Thorn, which was shut down by the Legion a while back, was restored in 2374. 2377 rolls around, and the Legion is no more. Westside mostly continued on its own, dealing with occasional raiders who ventured far enough west to reach them. In 2385, overpopulation became a serious problem, as it had reached nearly two thousand residents. Clashes between squatters and locals became commonplace, and the militia had to intervene. However, in 2387, there are a mass exodus by the upper-class of Westside, and most of the locals left for the newly restored New Freeside, which had totally cleaned up and become arguably the most prosperous of all the New Vegas neighborhoods. Westside was left to the lower-class and the immigrants, which largely resolved most of their conflicts. Under the protection of the militia, and thanks to the Co-Op's farms, Westside has become a largely middle-class neighborhood, avoiding problems that plagued South Vegas and McCarran by denying entrance to immigrants from outside the wasteland. It produces a large amount of food for New Vegas, and is a moderate trade hub. Caravans or tourists coming from California usually stop in Westside. Chem trade has become more common in Westside recently, as caravaners brought their chems with them from California. Local gangs, which are fairly small, have taken to brewing variations of Jet to compete with these Californians.

Hello, everyone and welcome to the seventh reincarnation of our Fallout roleplay series! If you aren't familiar with our lore, follow the link and read through the timeline. It should cover everything you need to know. This roleplay is inspired largely by Game of Thrones, so it will be different from our usual RPs. In this roleplay, you will play as a political faction, gang, Strip family or some other organization within an independent Republic of New Vegas, which controls the Mojave and the area surrounding it. While there will be combat between factions, and possibly combat with foreign powers, generally speaking the roleplay is intended to be more story driven. Before the roleplay starts, we will work out who sits on the City Council and what Senate members are loyal to what faction. I am naming Kelmet as my Co-OP, and I am the OP. With that, on to the rules:

No Godmodding or Metagaming or anything like that
Military/Lore Disputes will be handled by the OP
Inactive Players will be booted from the RP, and a quick backstory will be applied to explain their disappearance
Try to be limited in sexual and/or extreme gore.
Don't go outside of the play area without OP permission
Don't go to fast, or to slow. Play at a reasonable speed. One, maybe two posts a day.

Can I ask what's happened with the Mojave Brotherhood in Hidden Valley?

Lunas Legion wrote:Can I ask what's happened with the Mojave Brotherhood in Hidden Valley?

Survived the initial occupation of the Mojave in 2282, was slaughtered when the Legion sacked Vegas in 2349. Hidden Valley was destroyed. However (I forgot to add this in the OP), the Brotherhood of Steel is currently in a civil war, after the Alaskan Brotherhood's leadership was overthrown. So, a new chapter could be created, but its members would be torn between supporting the conservative Alaskan Brotherhood, or the much larger, reformist Capital Brotherhood and it's "Steel Republic" based out of Rivet City.

...and you'd probably have to take over one of the Vaults for a base. Lore-wise, you could say they were sent from Alaska or are the last surviving members of the Texan Brotherhood, who hid in Legion territory until 2377.

The Steel Republic is a long way away though. Also, what happened with the Boomers and the various Raider groups (Fiends, Khans, Scorpions, Vipers, Jackals, Powder Gangers)?

Lunas Legion wrote:The Steel Republic is a long way away though.

Yes, but it is massive. The Alaskan Brotherhood is closer but is much, much smaller than the Steel Republic.

Also, what happened with the Boomers and the various Raider groups (Fiends, Khans, Scorpions, Vipers, Jackals, Powder Gangers)?

Most were either assimilated into the Legion after the Battle of the Hoover Dam or fled to California. To be specific, the Boomers were assimilated and Nellis was burned down. All of their weapons were stolen by the Legion. The Fiends and the Kings were assimilated. The Khans escaped by traveling to Wyoming, then into Canada and now have a decent sized, though sparsely populated empire there. The rest of them didn't have any specific lore other than that they fled to California.

Powder Gangers could've dug in in Vault 19 and waited the Legion out. There's no way the Legion would've been able to breach a Vault.

That's only one of the crews. The NCRCF crew was certainly slaughtered, or they migrated with the Vipers. The Vault 19 crew could have holed up there and been fine, yes, but not for more than a few years. The Legion controlled the Mojave, with the exception of the Strip, for decades. The survivors of Legion rule were either people trapped in the Strip when the Legion invaded or the small groups of people who managed to hide from raiding parties in the major cities and towns.

MIKIA wrote:could I be a raider faction possibly a cleaned up version of the fiends

You could be a gang. Raider groups like the Fiends won't last long in the unified Mojave. The entire Mojave is under one government, and it's government has a standing army.

I know the NCRCF crew would've been slaughtered; the only reason they lasted as lon as they did in game was because the NCR was distracted by the Legion. Legion would've overrun NCRCF easily.

Vault 19? Not so much. Close that door, use all the repair manuals in the Vault to repair everything to the best possible condition (not to mention it had double everything bar Common Room because Vault Experiment). Use the GECK on the crop-production areas, you have a decent food supply. Water chip's intactness I'll need to check by seeing if the Vault's water was irradiated or not, but I think it's entirely plausible for them to seal themselves inside and wait the Legion out.

If not, well, it'll be a good backup base for one of the Strip families.

Would the Powder Gangers have been able to maintain a civilized society within the Vault? We are talking about violent criminals, not Vault dwellers.

That's my only concern with it. Other than that, it is plausible.

what if I say that they were unified and detoxed before the Mojave was fully unified. Here is the story I was thinking of A group of ten or so fiends were prowling the waste when they were captured by the Legion five survived and were crucified they came down off of their highs and suffered for 4 days the leader Marcus resorted to praying to a God he had heard some of his Victims involve that's when the NCR attacked that camp. In the confusion He escaped with the four other fiends he left and returned back to the fiends and slipped fixer into their chems. once they started to detox and come down he continued to slip the fixer into the chems. soon all the fiends had either committed suicide or forgotten why or how the gang worked. Marcus used this Chaos to assert his dominance over the former fiends

This is set nearly a hundred years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. The Fiends most likely don't exist, but if they do, they are somewhere outside the Mojave, most likely California.

Cooke and the other guy maintained order pretty well; they may be violent criminals, but if cooperation is the best way to survive, which in this case it is, they'll cooperate.

Then that might work for lore, if you wanted to create a Powder Ganger faction.

Player Name: Dixmix
Faction Name: The Wild Ones
Location: Mojave Outpost
WIMPS

Significant Members: Jackknife, Jukebox, Sammy DeSpoon
History: The Wild Ones have history that goes back to the rise of the first raider tribes in the Great Plains Wasteland, which was about 20 years before the events of Fallout: Wild Wasteland. They were led by thirty Vault Dwellers and a man named Tim Jax. They took teachings of warfare from the Huns and Mongols to forge the first Nomadic Empire and ruled over nearly 80 years until the assassination of Tim by a wandering BoS squad that will make it to the Capital Wasteland.

From that on the Wild Ones fractured and some of took on the name and left in various directions across the American Wasteland and Canadian one as nomadic groups, finding work where ever they go and have evolved with the times as many of them did things like served in Tesla's Army, did raids with the Khans, and even join with the BoS or adopted Super Mutants and Ghouls into their tribes.

It wasn't until after the Second Atomic War that veterans from the remaining Wild Ones had came together in the borders of the Mojave to become a tribal confederation to become the new Wild Ones and started to settle in the Mojave Wasteland for the ultimate goal to take New Vegas as a means of making a empire that can stand in time. However, many people didn't want to do that just yet and went to California and the South to defend the Wasteland against Legion remnants or Mexican raiders to gain fame and respect when they truly march.

Now they have came back and have made the Mojave Outpost as their home while profiting off the trade, tribute from gangs and tribes while using their fame and popularity as a means to conduct their goals in order to conquer New Vegas.
Goals: Conquer New Vegas
