This story draws inspiration from a Fallout themed dnd style roleplay me and some friends did a few years ago. some events have been changed, but the basic premise is the same. we've all heard the saying, war never changes. in concept, it stays the same, humans fighting each other over everything from money, to resources, to even more horrific reasons. The day the bombs fell, the start, and end of the great war, humanity was forever changed. those above ground either succumbed to the blasts and radiation, and the ensuing chaos of the end of the world as it was known, while others survived the radiation, only to be forever changed by it. Some retained their sanity, others became a feral shell of their former self, their minds long gone, and then there were the vault dwellers. Those on the surface knew little of the inner goings on of those who had gone into them, only that once the door closed, there was no getting in, or out. Over 200 years have passed since the bombs fell, and a man who has survived all the hells the wasteland can offer finds himself in another war, wether he wants to be or not. There's talk of new raiders in the Boston Commonwealth, a new radio signal talking of a place called Nuka-World, the transmission sounds like an old prewar advert to get people to come to the park. These raiders, there's something different about them, some plan they seem to be working towards completing. Whatever it is, it's not you're typical raider problems.
Everything started in 2036. The pollution was so bad that the end of the world was predicted to be right around the corner. As complete panic set in around the world, the rich and important people were all gathered and placed on giant spaceships with enough resources and room to house generations of human beings. Before they left though, the government leaders fired As a result, most of the human population died off and earth was a complete wasteland. The little that survived started building local communities and trying to survive in the destroyed excuse of a planet.
On the disaster of a planet, creatures mutated and were born out of the nuclear chemicals; creating new species and monsters that hunted humans. While hundreds and hundreds of years passed, the monsters kept evolving and the people kept adapting while still trying to keep a sort of community. They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.
