Fallout Quest: Building Upon ashes.
"War. War never changes.
Since the dawn of humankind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.
The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower.
But war never changes.
In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.
In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation.
But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world - but war, war never changes. "- Ron Perlman, A combination of excerpts from Legends of the wasteland.

"Well what have we here? another poor fool killed by harsh radioactive wastes. But you, you might be useful! I have become so dreadfully bored with how things have come to pass and want to see another point a view."
"I'm feeling benevolent today so i'll give you another chance, a chance to fix whatever went wrong."
But before any of that I need to know, just who are you?

when the bombs fell their was a breach in the facility's security system that forced the research team's to flee the base, And letting your more dim witted Kin wander freely. After realizing the facility was yours to control your ancestors stayed their for many generations, until now. for it was on that day you met another member off your species with your intellect, a deathclaw by the name of Goris. he told a tale of how his tribe was wiped out by the Enclave forcing him to wander the wastes.
You agreed to be part of a team to find the Vault he called home and secure it's resources to help get the research base back to a functioning state, hoping to know how your species came to be. But unfortunately you were stung by a large blue bug on the way and died of it's poison.

I know I just wanted to share my vote with others so that it helps convince people to vote for it.
Although most people don't want to play Deathclaw for some reason even though it would be awesome and unique.

Subversive Element
Only one clan of them, yes.
It's quite the popular idea, though it would take me some searching to find examples (civilization of ten foot murder machines run by the players doesn't post many challenges) but it is by no means unique in any meaning of the word.
