Ah, oh well. I guess that thewill have to stay all alone.
Another solution; Ashur's Wife was a scientist, correct? Perhaps we could have it that she came from the Institute, and is now influencing Ashur to take their side?

Can't believe that I actually got an RP close to its endgame, btw...

Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

@jordy0403, A bit complicated. I would prefer a more 'natural' timeskip, or perhaps retconning Marie's birthdate and thus age.

Emergency: Not enough time has passed between Alternate!Fallout 3 and Alternate!Fallout 4 for Marie Ashur to become the main villain of the Commonwealth Arc!

@Combo move, Commonwealth Arc will take at least an IRL month before it starts.
@Imperfectionist, Squee! I love the idea!
Plans for the Commonwealth Arc
Basically, the starting difference between this Commonwealth and the one in Canon is the fact that the Sole Survivor got killed along with his wife, leaving Shaun/Father a complete orphan (another, OOC reason is that the Sole Survivor is the most railroady of the Fallout Games' protagonists, aka his plot is the most forced).
The second difference is that Marie Ashur (daugther of Ashur from Fallout 3, and who got aged up from 10 to 20 in this universe), an unmutated human, succeeded her father as the leader of the Pitt, and needing allies against the Brotherhood and further Slave Uprisings, as well as hearing that Shaun is also an unmutated human, allied with the Institute, providing both brawn and a brain that wasn't cooped up in an ivory tower and thus not walled off from the realities of the world.
With Marie Ashur's support, perhaps even coddling, The Institute began pursuing a more militant policy against The Railroad and Minutemen, exterminating the former and reducing the latter to just Preston, who was forced to seek refuge in the Brotherhood, which itself was being pressed from two fronts; the Pitt itself was paying raiders to attack the Capital Wasteland as the more militant Institute was attacking its Commonwealth holdings. This pushed the Brotherhood in the Capital Wasteland to adopt a more 'liberal' and 'inclusive' policy towards Ghouls and Super Mutants, because it needed the manpower to stretch itself across DC, New York, and The Commonwealth.
Seeing this, and finding the Institute - Marie Ashur Alliance to be a threat, the Book Runners (they sell guns too), led by Peter and Miranda Rapids, began gathering together a council of local power groups in Boldt Castle* in order to aid the Brotherhood/extort concessions from it. Sarah Lyons will also attend said conference, as well as the PCs, where they will be attacked by a fleet of raiders, hired by the Institute to disrupt the proceedings (Edit: This might be Retconned out to provide more time for Character Development).
Anyway, the Pyrdwren will go on to the Commonwealth with the PCs in tow, and said PCs will begin turning the tide, either by creating a New Railroad that would help the ordinary people of the Wasteland as well as Synths, or helping Preston rebuild the Minutemen, or attacking the Institute directly.
But, there is one final battle. Marie Ashur, realizing that the Brotherhood is regaining ground, is going to go to the Commonwealth herself with an army to help Shaun. And, with her defeat, the RP ends.

Should I wait for those who have reserved Bounty Hunters and Government Agents before starting the IC, or must I start the IC now?
The Story So Far - Will be updated with each advance in the Plot
Old Man's Corner Arc
The longest arc of the RP, the arc begins with the various PCs having slice of life moments, except for Paradise 'Par' Rapids and Greg, whose first move was to buy, then free, slaves from Old Man's Corner in order to set up a brief salvaging project in New York's Public Library.
After this, Alan Anderson then launches an internal coup in the New York Cell of the Enclave, taking it over and proclaiming his new agenda: To enslave the people of the Wasteland isntead of exterminating them. Then, after securing control of the organization, he goes to Vault 81 and forms a pact with it; Vault 81 will provide more manpower for the Enclave, in exchange for technology. With a loyal source of minions secured, Alan then conquers Brooklyn, enslaving and killing the raider population and turning physically appealing members into a harem after sterilizing the women.
The conquest of Brooklyn results in a number of raiders trying to migrate to Liberty Island, only to be destroyed by a desperate defense from the Islanders. At the same time, however, Old Man's Corner strikes, raiding Liberty City and taking several families as slaves. Par, Gabriel, and another PC would lead a raid against the slavers' settlement in response, freeing the slaves and setting the place on fire, inflicting a lot of damage, especially as a lot of other new characters, including a newcomer, Max, would enter the scene.
At the same time, a second band of PCs would raid a Hospital held by the Enclave, freeing the enslaved parents of a PC...who would then reveal that the Enclave was preparing to attack Liberty Island.
Oh, and the Brotherhood finds an old Construction Droid in the ruins of Colombia University, a treaded vehicle with a giant crane, a laser and mortar for demolitions, and a recycling machine. Once found, it was to be used for both peace and war.
Enclave Arc
The Enclave attacks Liberty Island at noonday, and despite a desperate defense by the PCs and NPCs, the Enclave has both numbers and tech, and so the city is conquered, and the population rounded up and enslaved. Alan plans to execute the PCs, but Par manages to talk the Enclave's new Colonel out of that by 1.) pointing out that the PCs can spread the news of how the 'New Enclave' is powerful and scary, and 2.) offering to be his compliant sex slave. Alan agrees, and even allows the PCs to keep their lighter weapons and gear, before said PCs are offloaded into three rafts that then go upstream.
The PCs then make camp on the banks of the Hudson, before being found by a Brotherhood Patrol, which reveals that now that the Enclave in New York has become so powerful, they are switching to a Midwestern BoS policy of hiring Ghouls and Super Mutants...temporarily. Most of the PCs then leap at the urge to join the Brotherhood, and those that don't still accompany the Paladin and Knights anyway.
In the Enclave base, Par tries to collect as much information as he can on the enemy.
Update: The next day, the Enclave attacks Old Man's Corner, taking it over and enslaving the Slavers' Guild (irony!). The Brotherhood then counterattacks by splitting the PCs into two groups, one to attack the Corner before the Enclave are fully entrenched, and another to raid Enclave Base One and rescue Par.
Update: Thanks to internal intrigues within the Enclave, Par managed to get out with his old clothes and a Laser Pistol.
