Backstory time and places in the fallout universe
[ the date is August 22, 2280 and I’m the leader of a gang of raiders and thieves, made up of kids or young adults below 18 years old. Im aged 14 and in the Washington state apart of the pre war northwestern commonwealth. Here I have carved up a nice piece of territory from the ruins of Seattle and it’s suburbs.]
As the new leader of your gang, you decide to send out scouts to explore neighboring territories and potentially find new sources of loot or even expand your influence. You assign three other members of your gang - Sarah, Jack, and Mark - as scouts. They set off on their journey towards the east, towards the remains of Bellevue and Redmond. Your gang members are well-equipped, each armed with a knife and a pistol.
The sun is high in the sky as your three scouts begin their trek eastward. The landscape is littered with the wreckage of cars, buildings, and debris from the atomic bombs that leveled Seattle decades ago. As they walk, they keep an eye out for anything valuable hidden among the rubble.
[I lead my own group on an expedition to the pre great war military base called Fort Lewis. As it was far from our base in central Seattle and near a rival gang’s territory by the city of Tacoma. I hope to find pre war weapons, technology and armor.]
You and your gang members arrive at the abandoned Fort Lewis after several hours of travel. The fort's massive gates are open, revealing a decaying complex filled with rusted equipment, collapsed buildings, and overgrown vegetation. As you approach, you spot movement in the bushes nearby...
We are attacked by a swarm of ghouls numbering dozens. We get behind cover and unload our pistols on them, massacring them, blood pouring everywhere.
After disposing of the ghoul threat, you and your gang begin exploring Fort Lewis more carefully. As you wander through the dilapidated barracks and training grounds, you come across an intact armory filled with weapons, ammunition, and even some pieces of ancient power armor. Excited by your discovery, you radio back to your hideout in central Seattle to report your findings.
We find a considerable amount of pre war weapons like machine guns, assault rifles and shotguns. We found 5 pieces of T-60 power armor and other components. In an ammunition depot in the base we find a considerable amount of fusion cores for the armor. Then I get in one of the suits and then the rest of my group gets into theirs and those who didn’t get one carried the rest of the loot taken, following behind us as we made our way back to Seattle.
You return triumphantly to your hideout in Seattle, accompanied by your armored allies. Your fellow raiders cheer as you parade the new loot - including the powerful T-60 power armor suits and countless fusion cores - into the main room. Word quickly spreads of your successful expedition, earning you respect among the other gangs in the area...
I begin to draw up plans to expand my territory and influence beyond downtown Seattle and its suburbs. I plan on making total war on the neighboring gangs and consolidate my rule.
Your ambitions are grand indeed, but they won't be easily realized. The other gangs have already heard rumors of your recent success at Fort Lewis and will undoubtedly prepare for battle. You must now decide how to approach this conflict.
With my newfound wealth and firepower, I begin recruiting more members to join my growing empire, preparing for all out war against the rival gangs. I also send spies to gather intelligence on their movements and weaknesses. Once I have enough men and information, I'll launch an unstoppable offensive that will bring them all to their knees. I’ll lead a special team of my most experienced members with the 5 pieces of T-60 power armor and machine guns we seized at fort Lewis.
As the days turn into weeks, you continue to amass your forces and collect vital information about your enemies. Finally, after several daring espionage missions and brutal skirmishes, you feel confident enough to launch a full-scale assault on the stronghold of the biggest threat: the Vytahni gang, who control much of the south side of Seattle.
You lead your elite squad, including yourself in one of the precious T-60 suits, through the ruins towards the heavily guarded compound where they hide. Gunfire erupts around you as enemy raiders rush to intercept your advance, but your team is well-trained and determined. With each fallen foe, your confidence grows...
I lead my special team on a massacre in the enemy compound. Men and women are shot where they stand. The children are able to talk and walk are shot dead without mercy.
The slaughter continues unabated as you and your team methodically clear the enemy base. Your T-60 power armor makes short work of anything that stands against you, leaving a trail of bodies and burning debris in your wake. As you reach the center of the complex, you find the leader of the Vytahni gang cowering behind a stack of ruined furniture. You don't hesitate; with a grim smile beneath your helmet, you open fire, tearing him apart with a hail of automatic gunfire.
The fight now over, you stand victorious atop the rubble, surveying your domain. It's a harsh world out there, but with determination and ruthlessness, you have managed to carve out a small piece of it for yourself...
Surviving women and young girls are taken as wives and concubines for my warriors. The young boys are taken to be trained and integrated into my own gang. As I sit in the former leaders now shootout desk, I scan through my maps as I seek out the next gang that will be the next victim of my gang.
Your newfound empire expands rapidly as you continue to conquer neighboring territories and absorb their survivors into your growing ranks. News of your ruthless tactics and iron rule spread far and wide across the wastelands of the Northwest, earning you both fear and respect among the other gangs. You become known simply as "The Overlord" - a feared and legendary figure who's reach seems to know no bounds...
Having secured the south of Seattle, I focus on the gang ruling the north side. I have my elite squad clean their power armor and weapons. While the other warriors are training to create a distraction essentially drawing their fire while I flank them from behind. They would be caught in a hammer and anvil.
As your forces gather, the tension mounts between your group and the rulers of the north side. Their spies keep close watch on your movements, aware of your intentions and preparations for war. When the day finally comes, they spring their trap: as your forces engage in a fierce battle with the northern raiders, their reinforcements ambush your flank, splitting your forces in two and threatening to encircle them completely...
I lead my special team and warriors in a frontal assault to break the enemy lines first before they can complete the encirclement. I remove my power armor voice filter to say, “ we crush them here, charge from the front your lives depend on it!”
Your command is met with shouts of determination as your troops surge forward against the overwhelmed defenders. Bullets whiz past your armored form as you charge into the thick of the battle, your knife and pistol cutting down anyone who stands in your way. The fighting rages on for what seems like hours, but eventually your elite squad manages to break through the enemy lines, allowing your remaining forces to retreat safely and regroup.
It's clear now that the attack won't be so easy - both sides are well-prepared and determined to emerge victorious. You must devise a new plan if you hope to gain control over the north side and unify Seattle under your rule.
Having crushed the enemy and regrouping at an abandoned motel, we set up camp. I plan to continue the charge and show them total war just like I showed the southern gang.
Time passes slowly within the confines of the abandoned motel as you and your men begin to heal their wounds and rearm themselves for the next battle. News spreads among the north side gangs about your victory, some seeing it as a sign of weakness while others recognize it as a call to arms. Soon enough, the time will come for you to decide whether to press your advantage or retreat and consolidate your current territory before striking again...
I continue the push after a night to refresh our bodies after hard fighting. My troops numbering 1 thousand soldiers would be split in two companies of 500 men. Company #1 was to engage as many enemies as possible and tie down the enemy forces. While company #2 and my special forces team would make a beeline for their base camp and gut them from the source.
Your plan is flawless. The northern raiders are taken completely by surprise when Company #2 arrives at their camp with little resistance. Caught off guard, they are slaughtered mercilessly as your elite squad cuts through their ranks like a knife through warm butter. With the enemy's leader dead and their base reduced to smoldering ruins, there can be no doubt who now rules the north side of Seattle. As news of your victory spreads across the wasteland, fear and awe echo in equal measure among those foolish enough to challenge your dominance...
