S.P.E.C.I.A.L (Fallout)

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

I think the Regulators should also be in this role play, along with Talon Company.

Here's a little something I've conjured up. Lemmie know what y'all think.

The Coalition

The Coalition holds influence over all of post-war Canada, with the ruins of Quebec serving as its bustling urban centre. Made up of smugglers, raiders, slavers, traders, and many other sleazy characters, the coalition is a sprawling merchant empire; with caravans and supply lines stretching out across the white wastes in an intricate web.

Forged from the tattered remnants of an old world industrial conglomerate, the entrepreneurial kingdom has grown into too large a power to simply be swept away by freedom fighters and wasteland wanderers, and has asserted itself as a major player in the Canadian wastes.

A few do gooders try and stand against the Coalition, but most take advantage of the many services and wares that the merchants have to offer. Rare salvage, guns, and traveling companions can all be brought for the right price; making the Coalition a very valuable ally to have indeed.

[Korbanjaro]

Is it too late to express some interest for this one? I'm kind of a Fallout nut, and I'd love a chance to explore the Provincial Wasteland!

Also, as a note, we should probably keep in mind the French influence in Quebec, and layer that into the setting as well. Sounds like some awesome stuff!

@Kingfisher

Need... to... flag-ify... the... flag...

*passes out*

[Prince Potter]

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring as some off-shoot of the Enclave.

@Prince Potter

Had a strong idea of what I'd like to see, which you're more than welcome of joining. Msg me for details if you're interested.

Do you need a flag for it? *crosses fingers*

@Wade Wilson

I think the Enclave flag is set :) You can have a bash, but I don't believe that it's changed from 2 or 3 ^^

@Legion-114

I know, but you can have a new flag, since (if I'm getting this right) it's a faction that an Enclave member has made, or something along the lines of that?

@Wade Wilson

Sure you can have a go at making one ^^

There's now about only 57 or so 'Official' Enclave personnel exc. Eyebots etc... There is a second Oil Rig which is acting as the very last lifeline for mobile operations for the Enclave as currently its their own source for fuel for their Vertibrids. Their current objective is to secure Fort New Haven. However, as per Fallout New Vegas, High Ranking Enclave Officials from the West Coast Division have integrated into the NCR and are staging a coup.

[Legion-114]

So what other factions are we having? ^^

[Korbanjaro]

I would make a vote, (which as I probably haven't earned as a newcomer), for Vancouver instead of Quebec. Here's my reasoning:

According to the Fallout history that I'm aware of, Canadian relations with the United States became more and more strained during the "Sino-American War" between the US and China in Alaska.

The American government basically strong-armed their way into Canada allowing them to move troops through the country, with some Americans starting to call Canada "Little America," which surely built up plenty of resentment.

Eventually, America officially annexed Canada into the United States after someone attempted to sabotage the oil pipeline (Which we could probably assume went through near BC on the west coast instead of in the east.)

If we want to do Canada, and have a bunch of interesting things to play with, the west coast cities seem to make for a more interesting setting for us to write in.

With the distance from the centralized American government, the western Candian cities probably harbored much more resentment toward the United States, especially when they basically strong-armed their way into a path to Alaska.

As well, the oil pipeline and years of troop movement would provide numerous battlegrounds, supply depots, and plenty of other things which could have contributed to eventual straining of relations here within our current narrative.

With the Enclave Oil Rig just off the coast of California, and the NCR pressure from the south, it would make a kind of sense for exiled Enclave forces to make their way further north, eventually running into a staunch group of Mounties (pro-Canadian patriots). The Coalition was probably formed near the previous borders of Canada/USA so as to establish order and some kind of peace between warring groups. (Think the F4 Minutemen, except angrier. Lol.)

In that context, there will probably be pro-USA die hards originating from Seattle, especially among ghouls who may blame Canadians for not allowing them to deal with the Chinese threat earlier. As well, there will certainly be Chinese-influenced groups further north which may either still be fighting their same fight, or possibly looking to make amends for the sins of their fathers.

As well, such a "forward base" at the end of the war would be an excellent location to develop high-impact FEV strains in an attempt to influence the war. With Mariposa under heavy scrutiny in the last days before the bombs fell, a second "base" outside of the traditional United States would make a kind of sense, especially if it could be secreted in one of the last places that investigators would look.

This would allow for supermutants, especially unique kinds, to have developed north of the city. This would also allow for the BoS to show their faces considering their origins to Mariposa, if they had recently "discovered" that there may have been a northern facility that they didn't realize had appeared.

Considering that these places were also the sites of numerous supply runs and even battles, there is probably a TON of salvage out there, but likely a lot of resistance from locals in dealing with the "big dog" governmental structures.

Shoot, it would even provide a link into the Great Khans if we wanted to add them to the mix, too. Lots of ways to link things together.

I dunno, just seems like a really interesting intersection of cool opportunities, pasts, and cultures clashing compared to the relatively peaceful Quebec in the Fallout timeline.

In this scenario, it looks like we've got the following groups:
- The Mounties
- Pro-USA Patriot Faction
- The Coalition
- The Enclave
- The NCR (Possibly)
- Chinese remnants
- Supermutants
- Brotherhood of Steel
- Great Khans (Possibly)

This list, of course, wouldn't preclude any minor settlement groups that we "discover" along the way, similar to Little Lamplight, The Gun Runners, Crimson Caravan Company, the Talon Mercs, etc. We can come up with our own versions of those within the context, of course.

But anyways, just my thoughts. Like I said, I'm kind of a Fallout nut. <grin>

@Korbanjaro

I feel like you and I will get along swimmingly, old sport.

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

I'm sure the NCR won't be in Quebec. It's spread to thin even to be in Nevada.

[Kingfisher]

But then they'd finally have that nuclear winter they've been wishing for.
