[quote=@tundrafrog1124] Out of these options I believe that the mutant faction would fit best within the RP. While I'm not opposed to factions based out of DLC content since all the DLCs take place outside of the Mojave it would be hard to justify their presence and their relationship to the Green. With the mutants however, Jacobstown and Black Mountain have both been abandoned by the mutants. While I never explicitly stated to what happened to them, the location of Jacobstown has been taken over by the Green. If you're searching for another place to have them based then I'd suggest: Searchlight or the REPCONN Test-Site [/quote] Noted! I'll do some thinking on the mutants then. See what I can whip up or such. Though I do have a couple questions in that regard before I get started on it: 1 ) Looking at the map, isn't the REPCONN Test Site also green'd a bit as well? Or is it still ok? Am thinking that would be the best place for them, fortified and in an advantageous position. Searchlight feels less so, but if REPCONN was any issue then I'd want to find them a nice secure or advantageous position to set up in as I feel that'd be a logical choice for them given the presence of Dr. Henry at least and/or any potential non-mutants incorporated too by current times in 2288. 2 ) Since Dr. Henry is involved with Jacobstown and the mutants, would it make enough sense if some of the Remnants or all of them banded back together in the process a bit or such for the sake of survival? Doing this as the tough situation of The Green forces them together or such to survive and they can help train any humans around, etc. Of course if including the Remnants type of thing isn't acceptable, or that'd make sense or get ok'd, then all good! Worst case its just Dr. Henry with them still, I figure, which would still make sense as well. 3 ) Just to run my first concept for the mutant faction by you (as breifly as I can late after work when I am writing this right now) for some initial judgement or at least a 'hey this could generally work or not' type thing: Dr. Henry gets a cure made with some imported and hired human merc help who stick around, help with the NCR merc situation, and Jacobstown begins to grow and siphon some from Black Mountain. Causes some Tabitha issues. Green gets ignored for a few years due to mutant influx and such going on there. HUman and ghoul assistants for Henry are imported as well to help. Eventually problem gets worrying or bad enough by early 2286 that Marcus and Niel and Henry are all worried and were looking into it. Bighorners are getting sick and people are too, some have died either there in trying to make it there, and its not the best. Scouted out some potential relocation areas to move to, are forced to evacuate suddenly when the Green explodes around Jacobstown. Niel and Marcus were in contact and basically Tabitha is by now dead or got Rhonda back or whatever to get her out of the way as Black Mountain got worse over time too, so Niel took over the Black Mountain area in the end and freed Raul and so forth before salvaging and taking as much equipment and such as he could with him and those who followed him still. Meet up with Marcus and Jacobstown migrants, who are trying to be secretivve and sneaky due to worries about causing conflict with locals, and with the Green chaos going on elsewhere in the north it helps them hide and move along. Get to new location, REPCONN Test Site or otherwise, and have to handle those already there but do so and get set up. Build new homes, continue raising what Bighorner livestock that were saved from Jacobstown or were picked up along the way, and they with any humans or ghouls who came along settle down and foritfy up and use the radio equipment after setting up to try to bring further mutants to this safer location to get the cure and assistance. By now have gotten some more Gen 1's and Gen 2's and esepcially Nightkin, in terms of mutants at least, brought in who set up with them as well. Started getting a few tentative Caravans they were familiar coming back to trade with them, though they are less than before due to the Green situation and chaos caused by that, and either are neutral with Novac or have struck some uneasy or tentative deal with them if not at least some trade or something by now. Just got their footing again, settled down, and are led by a new leader (the OC) who is likely an intelligent (or uniquely mutated even) Super Mutant or Nightkin who eventually took overall control and has been around long enough to have trust from the faction and its population to have taken charge by now. Not many in the Mojave know where they are still, but word initially is starting to get out again inevitably due to them seeking trade and having set up in the faction's current location for about a couple good years by now on top of the radio messaging. Most rumors and ideas say they are still at Jacobstown or that Black Mountain people fled there due to likely not all the Nightkin there having followed Niel to migrate elsewhere or such.
