Name: Deus Factions/Reputation: Ceasar's Legion [indent]Accepted. Served well in Ceasar's Legion and could have been a Praetorian if he didn't get wounded in a battle. [/indent] Followers of the Apocalypse: [indent]Accepted. After being saved by them, Deus decided to help them out however he could, from guarding their workers to providing his knowledge on the Mohave fauna.[/indent] NCR: [indent]Shunned. He was their enemy, simple enough. He was fortunately disguised during his fight against them, however he still lingers a certain amount of hatred towards the NCR due to Legion propaganda. He's at least learned to keep his mouth shut.[/indent] Good Springs [indent]Accepted. He just moved in and provides a valuable asset by mapping out the migration routes of various Mohave wildlife, allowing the settlement to know when it's best to go out hunting wild brahmin, and when they should stay in town when Deathclaws roll by. [/indent] Hometown: He's a traveler, but is looking to make a home for himself in Goodsprings Appearance: [img=http://i.imgur.com/1CKY2GK.jpg] SPECIAL: Strength: 7 Perception: 5 Endurance: 9 Charisma: 1 Intelligence: 6 Agility: 7 Luck: 1 Tag Skills: Melee, Repair, Survival Starting Perks: Traits: [indent]Logan's Loophole - Deus has some strange bodily function where he seems to be able to utilize various chems and nutrients very efficiently, regardless of their negative effects. However, it's speculated that his time is very short unless he can find someway to remove this strange affliction. Wild Wasteland - Deus was just never quite the same after being rescued by the Followers. While still rather intelligent and sane, sometimes he sees things no one else does, gets things that no one else should find.[/indent] Perks: [indent]Animal Friend - Wild creatures are very friendly with Deus. He often can take things like coyotes and wolves as pets just after a few hours and caring for them. He's even been seen taming some of the Mohave's more feral creatures, like Radscorpions and Cazadors. Unstoppable Force - Be it leather or metal, raider armor or power armor, thick Super Mutant hides or Sentry Bot metallic carapace, if Deus has a weapon, it [b]will[/b] go through you. Jury Rigger - Deus is quite crafty, and knows how to improvised tools and parts to fix or even make weapons.[/indent] Starting Weapons: [indent]Crowbar - A fairly unique weapon, all things considered. A blood-red crowbar which Deus has used to bypass locked doors and bandits. Hunting Shotgun+ - It's name speaks for itself, though Deus will use it to hunt wild animals or those who are in need of a buckshot sandwich. He also has slugs, for when he needs to do a bit of long distance shooting. .45 Auto Pistol+ - A fully modified .45 pistol from New Canaan itself. A gift from the followers, it has heavy duty slide and a silencer, but Deus also reenforced the bottom of the handle and the frame itself, to not only increase it's durability but also so he can use it as a melee weapon in a pinch. [/indent] Starting Armor/Clothing: Deus wears a mishmash of leather and metal plates he made himself from outfits he found while in Freeside. All together, it can deflect small caliber bullets such as 9mm and 10mm, made knives and blades bounce off his plates, and has even been know to tank higher grade ammo as well. Deus also wears a composite metal helmet that can withstand quite the abuse and filters out toxic air and radiation for him. It can also allow him to breath underwater, but only for up to ten minutes before he needs to refill his air tanks. History: Deus was born in a tribe in Arizona known as the Machine Heralds. Unlike some tribes, the Machine Heralds made a copious amount of use from the old world to create something new from it. While not all their inventions were a success, they were, unlike other tribes, creating new things rather than scavenging that of the old. The Machine Heralds were also one of the few tribes who did not resist Ceasar's conquest of Arizona, knowing fully well that they would not be able to withstand his legion. Like many other tribes, the men of the Machine Heralds were either pressed into becoming soldiers or made into slaves, as were their women. Their sons were brought up as Legionaries like others before them, but thanks to willingly joining the Legion instead of resisting, the Machine Heralds were able to subtly maintain their original culture. Many who belonged to the Machine Herald tribe were often employed as weapon makers, who created and maintain the Legion's weapons. Deus was one of the children who had the fortune to be raised as a Weapon Maker. He was taught by his own father the mechanic of guns and the art of metallurgy, and for most of his young life he was quite talented with it. But when Deus was fourteen, seven years after he had already begun his training, Legionaries came and took him away. This was some time after the first battle of Hoover Damn; more warriors were needed, and any boy who was not yet an adult was forced to start their training as a Legionnaire. Deus' father was powerless to stop them. Deus than began his training, excelling in weapons. He was to become a scout for the Legion, so they also made him learn how to live off the land, track it's movements, and use it against their enemies. His training would take him five years before he was sent on his first, and his last mission for the Legion. He was to scout across the river and deep into NCR territory, in a place called "Freeside". He and a few others would observe the NCR involvement in that area and report back to their superiors for further instruction. But the mission quickly came apart, as the scouts sent were all new; still fresh from the training camps, they had a hard time "Blending in". Indeed, some of them never even changed out of uniform. Deus at least had the right idea of discarding his former armor for some rags, so that he looked like he was just another part of Freeside. What happened next was that his scouting party were hunted down by NCR Rangers. They fought back as valiantly as they could, killing few rangers, but ultimately were all killed. Deus only survived as he was shot in the stomach, but since he did not wear his Legion outfight, was merely dismissed as am outside casualty. Feeling as though he was near death, Deus did not even realize that later, people came to loot their bodies. But some of those people were kind; those people were the Followers of the Apocalypse. They took in anyone injured, both Legion and NCR, and nursed them back to health. Deus was one of them they saved. He kept his alliance quiet and when asked where he came from, he told them of Nipton (That was his cover he made up for this mission). It wasn't until three days later long after the NCR soldiers left that he told them the truth, that he was part of Caesar's Legion. But he also told them that he wanted to leave it all behind him. He initially thought the Followers would kill him, or at least turn him into the NCR. But they were merciful, and took him in. With the Followers Deus worked for them, even taught them what he knew of gun and weapon smithing. They wouldn't compare with the Gun Runners in terms of skill, but now they could provide meager repair jobs for their guards equipment. When not teaching, Deus would use his skills from the Legion to protect their doctors, taking from from Mormon's Fort to various outposts within. After a few years of working with them, and after he had managed to make his armor and obtain some weapons, the Followers of the Apocalypse allowed him to find his own life. They gave him a .45 Auto Pistol they got from a trade from New Canaanites, and prayed that he would find a place that would accept him. Since than Deus had been wondering around. He did some work for various strangers here and there, but mostly he just kept track of animal movements in the Mohave, hoping that the knowledge would help him survive and find a place to live. Sure enough, he arrived in Goodspring before long. There he spoke to the likes of Sunny Smiles and told her of the migration patterns of some of the wild life. It would assist them in getting some new food source as well as protect them from danger. This made him fairly accepted amongst the people of Goodspring, and he hopes that soon he could be allowed to take up residence in one of the empty houses.
