FALLOUT
"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. 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."
Interwoven into the canon Fallout lore I have created my own little stories; some small, others great. You can find all my of Fallout characters in this folder, along with their own individual stories. Fallout has been one of my favourite universes to explore, evident by the amount of hours I have put into the games, and the characters I have created. Do be aware that the Fallout universe is a violent, cruel one - and that these characters all share that theme. Murder, drugs, torture and other themes are explored in some of their backstories. If you are sensitive to any of these subjects, do not proceed.
"In the post–apocalyptic age, "human" is more specifically used to denote those that have been more-or-less unaffected by radiation as opposed to mutants like ghouls and super mutants, even though said mutant types originate from humans. Non–mutated humans are sometimes called normals, smoothskins or bleeders by their mutant counterparts." [Source]
"The various types of mutant creatures that inhabit the Wastelands were mostly created by radiation, with some exceptions where the Forced Evolutionary Virus is involved."
"Dogs, cattle, rodents - many creatures besides the human race survived the war, and live on today; albeit changed by the radiation. Though the radiation may have changed them, for better or worse, they still remain faithful companions."
