Hope you are still accepting new factions and people to join this.  Hope a custom faction is allowed going for something a bit differnt then the canon factions.  I hope it is alright.

History:
The Claw is new to the commonwealth.  A rough faction like group that are nomads looking for a home.  Somewhat of a cult starting out,

Starting out to the west of the commonwealth, this group was formed by a man by the name of Grant.  His last name isnt known but Grant was a raider but out of a weird sense of morality killed his clan to save a mother deathclaw and its egg.

From there Grant lived with that deathclaw getting a bond with the creatures, eventually he was found by others.  First was a man named Lawrence, and a lady named Beth.  These three Grant let live within his deathclaw community.  A group of people living with deathclaws, the word soon traveled.

On a dark day a group of raiders attacked this community, it was said one hundred raiders ran into a forest to raid this group.  They only killed one deathclaw before they were all mauled to death by Grant.   From this day Grant knew they were no longer safe so proposed they should move.

The group of three left the deathclaws, with one deathclaw in tow.  From here Lawrence tamed was said to have tamed a Yai Guai, and Beth married a super mutant. They traveled to the commonwealth took them a few years to get there on the way they gathered a few members.  The group is thirty members and growing every day, Grant named themselves the Claw on his death bed and his son took command.
They lift off the land avoiding major settlements looking for a place to call their own.  They let anyone join them if they can surive the initiation It doesnt matter if they are super mutants, ghouls, humans or synths.  New members not born into the Claw fight must go through the initation process.  They are thrown into a pit and must fight unarmed against a creature of the leaders choosing for ten minutes. If they are killed they dont get to join, if they kill the creature then they will be killed as well for killing a creature of the Claw.  Surviving the ten minutes, is how one joins this group.
Ranks of power go through another initation, and they involves taming the creatures of the wasteland.  They must finds and subdue a creature tame it and bring it back, the bigger the creature the better they will stand within the Claw.

 (How did your faction/person came to be during the Days of Chaos?)

His history is very dark, he once found a vault and unleashed a horde of feral ghouls into it to see how the vault dwellers would react.  He sent an experental thing of psycho into a group of raiders that did increase their strength but it also killed anyone twenty fours hours  later causing their hearts to explode.

Which caused to  halucinations but with fifty percent who took it to have a cazador hatch out of their chest.
He joined the Claw out of 'repense' of what he has done and has stopped his experiments in half of his orginal ways.  He wont 'test' anything on any member of the Claw.  Even though he has been caught once doing so.  Carver has him on a warning if he ever experiments on his clan again he will rip off off his 'zombie looking head'  He is the fourth leader, as his knowledge is still very valuble to the Claw.[/hider]
