Fallout: 2359 (OPEN, OOC, SIGN UPS)

[Takoma Park]

The year is 2359
The Lone Wanderer is long dead.
How?
What you should be asking yourself is what happened to the Wasteland. Who cares about the Lone Wanderer?
The Super Mutants been destroyed by the Brotherhood of Steel, all except s small faction living in Underworld, led by Fawkes, living alongside the Ghouls. The Brotherhood of Steel has established the 'Capital Republic', banding together several communities together on one side of the Potomac, while on the other, a coalition of scavengers, raiders, es-slaves Mutants, and Ghouls have founded the 'Metro Confederacy'. In the empty wastes beyond D.C., other factions have risen up.
But old rivalries are being rekindled, and war looms on the horizon.
Rivet City remains neutral, and the Jefferson Memorial is under their control, to ensure the neutrality of purified water.
As Three Dog once said, 'Fight the Good Fight.'
But there is no good fight.
Never has been.
It's always been strong vs weak, smart vs stupid.
Because war?
*Chuckle*
War never changes...............<<<<<IC!!!!

Theme

In this (Character) RP, you'll be taking the place of a mercenary.
A raider.
A settler.
A soldier.
An opportunist.
No matter what you are, you'll have to navigate your way through the churning waters of politics, trade, and everyday survival.
Have fun!
By the way, I am the BaRen. I'm just using this puppet because I can. And it's Fallout themed.

Factions
The Capital Republic: In 2301, the Brotherhood of Steel, with the permission of Little Lamplight, stormed into Vault 87, attacking the Super Mutant stronghold. Within a month, at heavy losses, the BoS had defeated the Super Mutants and destroyed Vault 87. With their 'breeding' ground gone, the Super Mutant population dwindled, but continued to fight against the Brotherhood. With the help of the Lone Wanderer and Fawkes, they established a community with the Ghouls in Underworld. With the Super Mutant threat gone for the time being, the Brotherhood of Steel made the ruins around the Citadel safe, and established the Capital Republic. The Enclave Remnants, with both of their bases gone, had been scattered. Several Enclave officers and their soldiers colonized and built settlements in the north, others formed their own very, very advanced mercenary groups and raider tribes. A large bulk of them joined the Capital Republic. The Capital Republic may have a smaller population than the Metro Confederacy, but they make up for that with having the largest, most advanced, and largest military in the Wasteland.
The Metro Confederacy: After Fawkes and his Mutants arrived in Underworld, their combined forces combed through the Museum of History, cleaning it out. The Underworld denizens and the ex-slaves of the Temple of the Union entered into an alliance, trading scrap for medical supplies. The 'Reformed' Mutants under Fawkes provided great security from slavers, and Talon Company. In Takoma Park, a small settlement had sprung up, with the help of Reilly's Rangers. Reilly, who was already aging, with the help of Fawkes, the new leader of the Temple of the Union, Caleb, and Doctor Barrows formed the Metro Confederacy. The Metro Confederacy has a large population, mainly because of the Takoma Parksters, the Underworld Ghouls and Mutants, the ex-slaves, but have a weak military compared to the Brotherhood of Steel, as the Metro Militia is armed with mostly Hunting Rifles and 10mm Pistols, although they are pioneering in ingenuity with the construction of many Railroad Rifles, and their wealth due to the fact that they have access to the D.C metro system.
Rivet City: WIP
Vault 101 And Megaton: After the lone Wanderer set the Vault Dwellers free by killing the Overseer when he returned to home, Amata became the De Facto leader of Vault 101. After a few weeks, the Vault became an important trade settlement, and it's security forces were unmatched in the area. Vault 101 became close allies, and eventually became indistinguishable from each other. Now, many years later, the Mayor of Megaton, and the Overseer of the Vault, still conduct close relations with one another. Megaton supplies a new gene pool to the Vault Dwellers, the Vault Dwellers bringing information and technology to Megaton, not to mention a strategic fall back point in case of an emergency.
GNR Colonies: Not really a faction, but it is important to the lore. Due to the Brotherhood's presence at the radio station, the Knights stationed there began to have families of their own, and eventually established a colony of the new Capital Republic there. Outside (When I say that, I mean those ruins where the Muties used to be) the Metro Republic had established their own colony. Currently, tensions are running high between the two.
United Conglomerate Expansion Force:In 2309 the people of the Northeastern capital wasteland were invaded by a force that was surely not from their area. The force almost immediately took over the area, and started raising the flags of the United Conglomerate a new country that arose from the ruins of New York City, and New Jersey. It, much like the NCR in the west started to quickly expand across the wastes. Bringing order, and civilization everywhere it went. Once it set up shop, it immediately expanded into places like Minefield, The Bethesda Ruins, and Old Olney. Immediately clearing both areas of the dangers that plagued them. Thanks to their work, Settlers from all over began flocking to them, populating the once forgotten towns. Now, they are a sort of "Sleeping Giant" clustered above Washington.

Rating System for Armament, Safety, Organization, and Influence

Armament: 1-3=Melee weapons such as baseball bats, lead pipes, brass knuckles, maybe a shitty pistol or two. Shitty armor.
4-5=Fair ranged weapons, although still leaning towards the melee side.
6-7=Pretty good weapons, such as hunting rifles up to Chinese Assault Rifles, even small amounts of plasma and laser weapons. They are in fair to decent condition. Usually combat armor.
8-9=Power armor, lasers, plasma weapons, although inability for the most part to mass produce them.
10=On par with the powers before the Great War. Don't fuck with these guys.

Safety: 1-3=Plagued by raiders, slavers, and every malady the Wastes can throw at them.
4-5=Commonly see the natural threats of the Wasteland, although Raiders and Slavers come every once a week or two.
6-7=Raiders and Slavers try to look for easier targets first. Only the bravest of natural predators brave these communities.
8-9=Raiders and Slavers have learned strategic lessons from these people. Natural predators have learned that these people are so safe inside their own communities, that the people go hunting for animals instead of the other way around.
10=...

Organization1-3=Usually nothing more than a mob with a common goal, a group with no leadership but comes under the same name, or a true anarchy.
4-5=Having a supreme body of government with a clear elected leader, or a clear de facto leader, with basic government offices. Comparable to Megaton or Underworld in Fallout 3.
6-7=Fairly simple government, comparable to Rivet City in Fallout 3, with government jobs being simple and broad.
8-9=On Par with the old Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel.
10=Mass, sprawling government, that pays attention to every little thing.

Influence: 1-3=No influence at all. This country's whims are largely ignored.
4-5=Some influence. Not enough to get their way with things of importance, but any trivial thing.
6-7=Able to get most things, but requires some convincing, bribery, or intimidation.
8-9=Gets anything they want. They bully around the lesser factions as if they are their bitch. Known as the 'Wastelands Little Princess".
10=They could ask a country to just cease to exist, and they would.

Occupation: Conglomerate Commander- 4th Degree
Equipment:

2 Radaways, 5 Stimpacks, 2 Rad-Xs, and 1 whiskey

Backstory: Born in the ruins of Trenton, New Jersey, Steven grew up under Conglomerate rule. Admiring the order and civility they brought to the region, he dreamed all his life of becoming a leader in it. When he was 17, he immediately signed up in the Conglomerate's 4th Expansion regiment, and quickly rose through the ranks. He earned his current position when he was 27, and became known as "The Butcher of New Carson". The reason why he gained that title is because he ordered the entire settlement of New Carson (A settlement in Delaware) to be slaughtered.

He has been assigned with scouting and hunting in the Capital Wasteland, in order to allow further Conglomerate Expansion.

Sure! Seeing on how the Conglomerate (I will make a backstory for the actual Conglomerate soon) was founded by former Enclave Officers.
