Noco - Lucius
  • Threadmarks
    • Player name: Noco
    What is being claimed: Lucius
    Canonical/Original Content explanation: Lucius and his Praetorian Guard hold great responsibility and power in the vacuum of Caesar and Lanius' death. Protecting the leadership of the Legion, Lucius has his hand, and sword, close by those who matter, a fact which cannot be overlooked. Likewise, Lucius represents the ideologically primitive aspect of what Caesar stood for; the Praetorian Guard represent the professional character expected out of every legionary - obedient and skilled in a life that far preceded the apocalypse.
    Why they are relevant: In command of the elite Praetorian Guard, Lucius and his subordinates possess a core fighting force, but perhaps more importantly, were tasked with protecting the leadership of the Legion. Thus, when Caesar lived and fell, the Praetorian's had every man of importance within their grasp. Likewise, Lucius stood as one of the most respected figure in the Legion after the fall of Caesar, not feared like the monstrous Lanius, but truly seen as a stoic warrior.

    Lucius, with the death of Caesar, you (surprisingly) remain standing. While you have the Legions respect (or at least the Guards'), that translates to little responsibility outside the Guard. Should you make a play for the throne however, that respect could turn into something more... 100 elite Praetorians.

    Oi! I resent that comparison.

    We Khans have a distinct culture unique with over a hundred years of history behind it.

    And gender equality. Can't forget that.
     
    You think the NCR would care? The decadent and greedy fools care only to seize your lands and lives from you. Stand with us, and the legion can help ensure you achieve the vengeance you rightfully deserve.

    And then seize yours lands and lives.

    ... What? Is it really a surprise when Caesar's Legion backstabs a group working for them? They've literally done it to every single group or organization they've come across. Join us or die is the Legion's only offer.
     
    All yawl savages need is a good talking to, a smack round the back of the head to get some sense into your noggin and to get the hell off my property!

    And yet such policies not only strengthen the legion, they full well ensure the safety of those living under our banner as citizens. We have no threat of raiders, nor any other foe to terrorise those that live inside out borders.

    While I would greatly contest the claim of strengthening the Legion, I will admit you have no trouble with raiders. It is true, no other foe terroizies the people in your lands. You've no competitors in that field, I can recognize a monopoly when I see one.

    And while I'd love to continue the smack talking, I worry we might be cluttering the thread.
     
    AMTurtle - Joshua Graham

    • Player name: A.M. Turtle
    What is being claimed: Joshua Graham
    Canonical/Original Content explanation: The original right hand man of Caesar and a vital part of the creation of the Legion the brutal first Legate was punished for his failure against the NCR by being set ablaze. Surviving the incident the Burning Man now leads the Dead Horses in Zion.
    Why they are relevant: Caesar while he was still alive deemed it worthy of hunting down the Burned Man going so far as to offer the White Legs the chance of joining the Legion to kill him. While outgunned by the White Legs there was a reason that Caesar made this effort to hunt Joshua Graham.

    Oh joshua! The White Legs outnumber us greatly! We can muster only 500 warriors, but do not despair, for as you have said, the Lord is on our side. If we can defeat the White Legs, who knows what we can do?
     
    In a world with the Legion, the Khans look a hell of a lot better than they did in the original two Fallout games. They may be looting rapists who burn down the world and take what they want, but they have gender equality and a pretty libertarian/anarchist social structure.

    Don't forget addictive chem manufacturers. I'll admit socially the Khans are better of than previously, but in the Mojave they are on their last legs. One solid hit and they'll crumble like someone on the receiving end of Terrifying Presence.

    What is being claimed: Dr. Mobius!/Big MT! or rather now Dr. Phoenix!

    Canonical/Original Content explanation:     The Think Tank was the center of the brightest minds of Pre War America, and responsible for countless advancements before the bombs fell. None the less even then the pursuit of SCIENCE!!! never ended, however, infighting, and damages have led to the death of the Think Tank without the Couriers Intervention as Dr. Mobius eliminated his former colleagues and even salvaged there very brains to extract their knowledge as his own, using Big MT's advanced technology and his expertise.

    This, in turn, has led to even more drastic a change in Dr. Mobius personality which settled down and took hold as he regretted his actions deciding to start anew and made plans to improve himself undoing countless damages to his body and changed mind and the decay that had been occurring on Big MT itself as he prepared himself for the beginning....of an entirely new life and with it a new name.

    DR PHOENIX!

    (Essentially without the Courier Mobius spiraled further into insanity and wiped out the think tank, regretted this too and decided to start anew, to start fresh and essentially killed himself in an operation that combined the brilliant minds of the Think Tank together into a new body, unrestricted as before, as a new person, into the unforgiving post-war world.)

    Why they are relevant: A Variety of unreleased and experimental Pre-War discovery's as well as Post War ones as the Think Tank continued its experimentation over the centuries since the great war. This added on to local sources of raw material, changeable material, and working industry makes the Big MT a new awakening technological faction to be reckoned with especially with an army of a variety of robotic creations and experiments at Dr. Mobius's or rather DR PHOENIX's beck and call in between New Vegas and the NCR

    I am extremely hesitant to accept this due to how OP/insane Big MT is.
     
    For reference, @FPSlover, @Cybandeath, this is what Big MT/the Think Tank is capable of, should it/they break out of their loops and regain lucidity:

    Old World Blues' cut ending said:
    In the decades following the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Big Empty remained a desolate stretch of wasteland, where few travelers dared venture.

    {Curious, this is odd...}In time, however, a strange blue field began to grow, slowly spreading across the Big Empty.

    Lightning-blue fields of force danced on the horizon, like electrical storms.

    People whispered of "floating spheres," flickering like a rainbow of torches in the desert like Old World wisps.

    {Cold, curiosity changes to doom}Then communities began to vanish.

    Goodsprings was crushed beneath bizarre hexcrete blocks that stacked to the sky. The inhabitants of Primm winked out, flesh-fried into X-ray silhouettes, their arms raised in surrender.

    A satellite fell on Jacobstown, beaming a kaleidoscope of bright blue equations into the deranged Nightkin minds, driving some berserk, paralyzing others.

    Black Mountain Radio began broadcasting a strange staccato static as hordes of giant man-eating battle Brahmin began to swarm from its peak.

    Camp Searchlight became a garden of giant carnivorous plants, and the Colorado river... "shrugged" one day, drowning several communities as its contours adjusted themselves.

    The Gomorrah became home to a particularly virulent vegetation-based STD that grew like a fungus within victim's genitalia until their bodies burst open like pods.

    The Legion East were systematically brain-scrubbed and rebuilt so that all the inhabitants believed they were in ancient Rome... on the moon.

    ...and the human cattle of NCR were re-educated into believing they existed in perpetuity in a nation-wide version of someplace called "Tranquility Lane."

    In the end, no one was sure who had cracked the Dome of the Big Empty, although it was clear someone had been playing with forces they did not understand.

    Throughout all this, the Think Tank was industrious, confident these experiments were all for the best, the results of the data they obtained - incredible.

    They marveled that {emph}all of this had been waiting for them to come along and experiment since the war.

    {Knowingly}Humanity certainly was persistent, no matter what experiments, nuclear holocaust or otherwise, it inflicted on itself.
