The Sierran Republic

Faction Type: Government Remnants

HQ: Fortified Township

Jack of All Trades: Survivors Speciality

Fluff:
Just but a decades ago, a group of survivors stumbled upon a town almost untouched by the war. There, they found a small colony of vault dwellers displaced from their home, and carrying a great library and many undamaged relics and remnants of the Old World civilization with it. Teaching the survivors, the native inhabitants learned how to live with them, assimilating their knowledge and culture, and dwell and teaching them through books and holograms about old world principles on government, democracy, learning about history from the humble beginnings of a tiny colony surrounded by a strange new world, to the age of frontiersmen and pilgrims venturing into the wilderness to settle in dangerous lands, and a “Destined Manifestation” resultant in the growth of a nation.

Believing in these histories, and taking elements from the relics found, these people came together to form the Sierran Republic. Using the information to survive the post apocalypse from the survivors, and firmly believing in the concepts of civilization, the rule of law, and freedom handed down by the vault inheritants, their dream is to expand what they see as the righteous cause of civilization, to bring order and hope to a world bereft of it, and they will continue to do so and fight for their very survival to the last man.

Fluff: The Minders

Relatively humanoid in size and shape, the minder mutants have developed an apt towards psionics. Although they have the semblance of a slight hivemind, or are at least able to telephatically communicate with each other, their evolution was geared toward something very specific

Every member seems to have a natural ability to be able to communicate with the various species of monsters that inhabit the wasteland, from the tiniest insecticides to the largest of beasts. By learning to refine this ability, they have discovered it is possible to not only peacefully coexist with many many monster types but, given the right amount of training and trust between a minder, use them as an advantage, to carry heavy loads, scavenge for materials, and even fight for them.

There are many different relationships being experimented on. Some focus on singular relationships with a specific creature, developing a strong bond. Others focus on being able to manipulate lots of smaller creatures, to act in swarms.

Some teams of individuals even focus on being able to speak to gigantic creatures, if at least to subconsciously convince them to walk somewhere else instead of demolishing their village.

>>41188783

>>Jack of All Trades: Think Tank Power Armor

Fluff:
Long ago, before the Fall, our ancestors were leaders and military men, who descended deep into the earth in a great bunker.

Back then, they were preparing for a great war against an enemy they would never face, but whose weapons would still be needed many many years later.

Unlike other vaults of the civlians, they planned for the world that would come in a worst case scenario. A world plagued by radiation, anarchy, and enemy invasion by every manner of hostile vehicle and monster that could be thrown at them in the horrors of war. And so they made sure they would be prepared to exit their bunker in force, determined to save the ideals of their nation.

In their bunker they had the weapons and tools to wage war, everything from power armor to be worn by soldiers to give them increased strength, speed, and defense against a wartorn world, to towering exoskeletons, walking tanks on legs wielding massive weapons.

They planned well, in the world racked by war, there would be no oil refiners or gas stations to refuel, there would be no factories to build spare parts, or teams of scientists to invent and replace damaged weapons.

The technology they left for us, they made sure we could use. Power cores that could be recharged using solar arrays, holographic training programs teaching how to repair and replace parts, how to function in power armor, how to manage and repair their base.

A specialist team was even created, a group of people who would be handpicked and trained as elites, leaders, and scientists to oversee the entire operation.

And now. . .that day has come. And we exit our great bunker. Those who entered in are long gone, but not forgotten among our memories, but now we their descendants shall rise up and fullfil their destiny and true goal.

To restore the nation of our forebearers.

It'd be interesting to see your ideas, and even if it doesn't win they could show up as an npc faction later.

Fluff will add flavor to the basic archetype of your civ. It will also influence your starting equipment, training, and other background/behind-the-scenes things.

For example this fluff: >>41189506
Would net you a well-rounded Government Remnant with an increase in its military capacity. In addition to your power armor specialty you would have an expanded armory and all of your equipment would be oriented towards self-sustaining.

If anyone protests this, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Please choose a Homeground and Terrain.

Choose Homeground

Examples for Homeground below. All actions undertaken within your homeground will have bonuses given to them.

Urban: Start in the middle of a city, no reliable food sources around. Increased bandits, factions, zombies, resources.

Rural: Start in undeveloped country with a small farm already set up, decreased zombies, bandits, monsters, salvage.

Desert: Start with no immediately detectable sources of water or food nearby. Deserts were popular places for scientific and military bases though, and you'll certainly have plenty of space to build.

Forest: Start with nearby wild food sources and plentiful sources of lumber. Substantially increased monsters, mildly increased salvage.

Island: Start in relative safety, fish are plentiful but toxic without effort, few nearby locations. Substantially decreased zombies, bandits, decreased monsters.

Military Base: Start inside a large military complex, the bunker you have taken over includes a small nuclear generator, armory, stockpile of ammunition/survival supplies, and some intel on the base and terrain at large. The base is an attractive target for raiding though. Greatly increased bandits and salvage.

Science Lab: Start with extensive hidden underground complex, scientific supplies and equipment to speed research, and experimental power generators, but dangerous things lurking in some deeper labs. Increased scientific monstrosities.

Vault: Start inside part of a large, self sufficient underground complex. Your node is self-sufficient but poorly fortified, and you don't have much room to expand. Furthermore the Vault is not entirely inhabited, and the things that live underground have started to creep in... Increased factions, monsters, decreased bandits.

Write-In whatever you can think of.

>>41190945
Military Base, obviously.

>>41190884
>Hidden

This.

>>41190945
Rural, because I like food and less monsters.

>>41190945

Your selected Homeground is contained inside your selected Terrain. Terrain determines general climate and weather behavior, as well as having various other influences. You do not receive bonuses for operating in your terrain. You do not receive penalties for operating in your terrain either, as your civilization's members are assumed to have grown accustomed to its idiosyncrasies.

Examples for Terrain below.

Tundra
Mountains
Plains
Canyon
Desert
Megacity
Jungle
Forest
River Valley
[Write In]
Etc.

Feel free to come up with your own terrain. Various Terrains and Homegrounds can be hybridized, but be aware that there may be unexpected interactions.

Fluff for homegrounds, faction, or terrains will all be handily rewarded.

I would strongly suggest you NOT pick anything that will increase monsters much in your starting area. Certain areas will be harder to survive in than others. Play to your strengths.

>>41190945

>>41191300
The island could be forested if you'd like and the necessary votes are acquired, but it would raise/lower the danger accordingly. An Island/Forest hybrid would have less zombies and bandits, but increased monsters.

Due to it being your terrain rather than homeground you wouldn't feel the effects as significantly immediately, but it would influence things nonetheless.

>>41191349
>Yeah and considering what happened last time I'd really like to avoid forested areas

What happened last time (give me the short version)

>>41191255

Maybe we could try a mountain/island hybrid for terrain? Like have a mountain in the middle of the island, bulk of the research lab is built into the side of the mountain

>>41191409
>What happened last time (give me the short version)

Lots of monsters. I think the way Strelok described it was "Dear. Fucking. God."

>>41191379
We could concentrate on controlling the monsters

>>41191438
We could.

The best thing to do in this game is stay optimistic and try your best to roll with punches. Aim high but shoot straight.

What the island itself?

Hrmm. That seems more in the GM's prerogative, I can start by saying that this island was specifically chosen as our nations secure location to house important officials and other items they wished to protect, being located in an isolated area. and mountain ideal for defense against nuclear strike.

With a fresh water source and geothermal from a dormant volcano.

that's a nice touch.

The surface of the island is mostly covered in sheer rock face and desolate tundra. There is one area directly above the entrance to the bunker itself, it was built for the pre-apocalyptic staff who stayed here. It consists of housing units and recreational areas. The entrance to the bunker is located behind a man-made boulder that can slide open when the correct password is put into a hidden control panel built into the mountain side. The bunker itself expands into the mountain and underneath it.

Generation beginning now, you may fluff the area if you like (for bonuses) or leave it empty. This offer is open for the first few threads, but don't wait too long.

>>41191672
If someone has an idea and they feel like providing it then they are free to do so. Provided it is accepted by anons at large I will provide bonuses based on quality and incorporate it into the worldgen.

It is important to note, when writing your story, that no one knows exactly how The Fall went down.

>>41191868
The island has been largely uninhabited for generations. During the fall, there was no information given to those who stayed here. The generations before were able to clouds after the bombs fell. Fallout hit the land soon after, luckily we had enough time to take cover in the bunker. The population consisted of part scientists, maintenance staff, and some security guards.

Anyone want to add fluff to this, or maybe they have some different stories? It's all open to interpretation.

>>41191868
>Generation beginning now, you may fluff the area if you like (for bonuses) or leave it empty.

Near the entrance to one of the side tunnels, is a small fishing cabin. Long covered over in ice and snow, it's thick walls are indistinguishable from the mountain itself. Inside the cabin, is a fishing area, where crab traps, can be lowered and raised. Just inside the tunnel is a room where food my be cleaned and de-toxified. This handy perk, greatly increases our ability to provide food to the lab workers.

Near the abandoned heli-pad on one of the mountains many plateaus, is a small green house, thermally heated from the mountain's core, and able to be used to grow a variety of fresh vegetables.

>>41191868
So, how do we start playing?

Krakens Roost. That was the name of the island complex.

In truth, while our base was built for the priority VIP's. . .the island is much larger than just that.

The Island is several distances away from the mainland, and is just big enough to build on but small enough to be insignificant compared to the other mountainous islands in this cold part of the world. That made it an ideal location for a lot of other things our government wanted to hide. The mountain not only makes an excellent cover and defense against nuclear strikes, but an effective concealment for underground bunkers such as our own or the great government research facility built above

It is not the only government research facility, certainly not the most famous, but the island housed whatever our nation valued as top priority and to be secure against all costs
If our bunker is anything to go by, it secured people like us, as well as seeds of many different variety to be planted (though not particularly in such cold terrain)

Whatever part of the facilities above ground are designed to be concealed via contouring around the rocks, and to be difficult to see from air or sea, though there's no hiding it to anyone on the island. Even so, they mostly appear to be innocuous bunkers, revealing of the large and grandiose faculties below.

Few of us know what became of it. Our ancestors lost contact with the rest of the facility after a few years, and our sealing protocols did not allow them to go out and check what happened

What we do know is this.

We were not the only ones to be be brought and secured on this island. A great many others were flown in here, scientists, the wealthy elite, and any manner of individuals who had the influence in the government to hide not only themselves, but whatever projects they wished to hide here.

If what our ancestors said was true. . .this island is a national vault for every manner of government project, wealthy possession, and much much more.

>>41192000
And the scientists continued to work on ways to resist radiation, effectively finding that the proper combination of chemicals could combat the effects of the slight radiation on the surface for 12 hour periods. The only downside is that the effects of the drug become less potent overtime, as the body can be flooded with the chemicals. It requires a few days before the body flushes all of the anti-radiation chemicals from the body.

Hmm. How about something like:

>A desolate volcanic rock in the northern oceans, Anon Island (placeholder name) had been devoid of human presence until the end of the world. In the increasing paranoia of the pre-Apocalypse years, it was one of several locations chosen as strongholds for key government personel. In the event of catastrophe, their mission was to survive, make contact with the other remnants, and ensure the survival of the Derpland (placeholder) way of life.

>The catastrophe came.

>Anons survived.

>They never heard from the others.

>Now, countless years afterwards, Anon Island continues to survive. It is becoming apparent to them that, if Derpland is to rise again, they will have to build it themselves.

I can't come up with names to save my life, so someone please think of some better ones.

Oh, let's see...

Megacorp Remnant
Private Bunker
Using all existing facilities and resources for great profit - after all their small medical bay is still better than nothing and their lovely "hotel" is one of few places where one can sleep tight without being afraid of anything. And there is even a small cinema! There is a very high entry fee and strict no weapons ban in the vicinity (with stripping everyone bare upon entering), while a lot of people are highly motivated and paid even more to defend this small paradise. In the same time those trifty capitalists established themselves as trading centre of the area, so a shitload of goods travells through them and many of them stay. And since they can afford that, they can always get some people to repair, build or re-invent stuff for them.

Military Remnant
Military Base
Small, military outpost that was in the middle of nowhere, so nobody had any reason to attack or try to loot it in early years. Since it was just a batallion inside, now there are two and a half companies of men left. And half of them are over 50. Since they are well-armed, relatively well-trained and definitely well-organise, they've turned surrounding areas into their protectorate, meaning trading their services as guards with local population. But there is just so many of them, so covering anything bigger than a medium-sized county would stretch them to the breaking point. So far their main advantage is having military-grade vehicles running on bio-diesel, but they can only repair them, not build new ones.

Government Remnant
Fortified Township
Speciality of Survivors
A small township within the ruins of old, much bigger, old down. Walls back from medieval times are again very useful, even if they never were anything spectacular. The nearest vicintiy of the town is a scravange area for inhabitants and there are always bands of squatters around. Most of the buildings outside of the walls are methodically demolished around main routes to stop some of the ambushes and there are outposts on higher buildings around town. The town is running with relatively normal life, with at least some of the infrastructure in working condition and and functional government. Town-guards double as police and army, but if they go outside, there will be not enough defenders left. The big secret is the sewer system, that allows for easy and undetectable movement throughout area, while most of the hatches being sealed from the inside. Most...

Survivors
Nomad
Staying alive is staying on foot. There are no safe havens left and there is no places to hide. Either we run or we die. At least that's what this group is thinking. There is barely any difference between them and common bandits, since they are not above attacking other groups, stealing, looting and pillage. There is only their group and their survival. Whoever can't protect themselves, doesn't deserve to keep anything or even live. They are barely armed when it comes to actual gear, but they use surprise for their advantage and extensive scouting, so then every shot counts.

>TBC

>>41190242
>>41196804
Think Tank Remnant
Research Facility
Originally the field facility of Agriculture University, those people know the most how important it is to apply knowledge and science to grow food in new, hostile world. They are few and weak, but they have enough food to pay off guards and gain support of the locals. Especially since they have "doctors" - it's always better to have trained vets than no medical care at all. Since they've got access to excess grain and most importantly - they still can breed and feed some animals - they can provide not only meat, but also fuel, be it alcohol or methane. Hell, their own facility is powered by methane generator. It pays to have a degree in Agriculture and Husbandry

Bandits
Military Base
This is what happens when you have save haven organised by military unit too small to keep order - you get over-run from inside by "refugees". Now all the former garrison is turned into raider's den. Abundant ammunition made them masters of their turf, going mercilessly through local population, looting, stealing, raping and killing. Usually in that order. But there is barely anything left to steal arround, so it's time to look for new targets. Since they are mostly using their numbers and zero training, the waste of bullets is also considerable, so few big skirmishes and the supply will run dry. Atmosphere is tense, at least at the top of the gang. The rest of the punks still don't know they are on a verge of collapse.

>TBC

>>41190242
>>41196854
Mutants
Research Complex
Originally intended as "fast way to adopt", a series of experiments, tests and morally-dubious acts were performed by the stuff members. Experimentation on fetuses, impregnation with selected embryos, then further modifications... It went out of hand pretty quick. After roughtly 30 years, there are barely any pure humans left within the coplex. Not all mutations and alternations were successful - especially with firsts "generations", where not all procedures were mastered. And not all were successful later, since resourcess and trained manpower are constantly going low. Actually, there is no skilled manpower anymore, so all what's left is hoping the pregnant will stop breed abominations and little monsters, or the complex will be completely void of life. Since the facility was originally a restricted area and a well-known genetic lab, nobody bothered to check it out - what is there to steal aside of few test tubes?

Robots
Factory
Originally a field repair shop, designated for automation repair of military vehicles and drones. All orders for the local rudimentry AI were sent - meaning it's currently constantly on war repair programme. It means active sending scout units to find any damaged vehicles and drones, bring back, repair and... wait for further instructions. The system is fully operational and with steadily increasing capabilities of defence, but replacement parts won't last forever. And since that supply order is pending for last 40 years, it's time to search other such shops for more resources. Any non-member of the military that build this shop will be treated as enemy, just like all civilians unable to prove they are citizens. On the other hand, the AI is perfectly fine with repairs for encountered military personel of right affiction, done for free. And there is this park of units ready to be used when proper authorisation is given or logistic order is sent...

>>41190242

So I think those are pretty much ok and not gamey at all, while not being rip-offs or blatant plagiarism. Not exactly original, but there is only this much you can do with pre-existing setting and pre-existing templates instead of running Fallout: Civ Thread

Tribals
Cave Complex
Surely, there is no better place than hide under a mountain. Even if there is no bunker out there. Especially when you are on a field trip with a class. You just keep repeating the kids one day knights from under that mountain will come and help them go back home. But what if knights won't come? Well, invent new lies. Surely those kids never saw all those films you did when back in college...
A third generation of Mountain Tribe, descendants of what originally was a trip to national park. Knowledge of the Old World is now myth. Since the caves they live around are in the middle of what was originally a national park, they hardly even know there was any civilisation or old world. Just hunting grounds in the dry, semi-dead wood. And monsters that come at night to kiddnap weak.

And at least there's the old guard to keep things alive.

>>41196930
You know you don't actually have to follow the exact templates per say.

This game is designed to be highly flexible toward fluff.

Instead of choosing any of those templates, you are entirely free to fluff up just about anything as long as it looks like it makes sense in light of the setting, and OP can categorize which of these civs it fits into.

Also while like a few of your concepts, a lot of them are kind of generic and some are just redescriptions of what the categories already are. . .

Here's a list of some-other civ concepts we've done before, albeit under a different OP for the same setting.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=hivemind

---

And yes, this system is indeed, inspired by the Fallout setting, heavily in fact.

>>41196930
You don't actually give a physical or cultural description of the mutants or even really specify a specific mutation or ability.

>>41198290
The point here was to quickly come up with non-BoS factions on a fly, not to write lenghtly fluff, so you can waste it later on NPCs

If it's then Fallout-esque, then godspeed and I hope the civ will die soon and horribly.

You literally can fluff a civ based on these settings too at any time. We have had a mad max type civ before.

>>41198451
>Environmental Adaptability
All mutants have that, it's why they're the only ones who can survive in a wasteland terrain (a specific terrain which the human civ type cannot survive or start in). . .that is not even really unique.

Now, the ability to turn into Ice in a Tundra terrain, or survive and release lava from their bodies onto enemies in a Volcanic terrain, or burrow through the earth with razor sharp claws in a mountainous terrain, or spew hot plasma in an irradiated wasteland terrain, then you're getting more specific with the environmental adaptation mutation.

Or if you really want it to be Enviro Adaptation, knock it up 11 notches to where they are highly capable of evolving rapidly in the face of new and dangerous enviornments, giving them flexibility for us to evolve later. A good example where the Splicer mutant civ, who were capable of grafting any mutagen samples from other mutants or labs and evolving themselves, becoming very powerful after taking in so many different mutations.

>>41198852
I think you fail to recognize how extremely challenging these games can be. You have no idea how powerful the enemies and the very terrain can be do you.

Last civ got fucked over because a couple of idiots voted to have our heroes charge a literal eldritch abomination resulting in them all dying. Might I add, nat100 tier heroes with hugely powerful abilities and boosts.

>>41198864
Pretty much. Now, you can either leave and play some other civ, or join in the actual discussion.

>>41198871
>You have no idea how powerful the enemies and the very terrain can be do you.
It's posted by fucking OP, before you even decided which type of civ you will be running

>>41198885
The stats only give the amount and type of enemies we are likely to face. They don't even remotely encompass what the OP has in store for us, how powerful or what kind of creatures they are, or what he'll throw at us before the game even begins. They're just there for us to psuedo-plan a gamestyle.

Got lots of survivors? Plan a corps and sell cool weapons or supplies. Plenty of bandits? We made a police civ so we could fight them.

The other post-apo civs you played, were they similar to this one? Or profoundly different? Was they all the same concept basically? Or was each unique?

By a miracle your members all manage to coordinate through the chaos, with the former security and other paramilitary elements of your population subduing panic before it could start and organizing people into productive tasks.

>Status report!

One of which is figuring out what the hell is, has, and will be going down in this bunker. A small expedition is sent out into the bunker at large, the first people to venture past the security checkpoint you had discovered your supply of weapons in. They will return next turn with their findings.

Meanwhile some of your more computer-savvy members are directed towards fixing and getting access to some of the flickering computer monitors in the walls. After much effort and cannibalization of parts you gain access to the bunker's computer network.

...Unfortunately it seems that whatever woke you all up has caused most of the useful functions to be locked down. You manage to turn off the sirens and pull a basic map of the bunker up. Several members claim it looks different than the bunker they entered, others claim it's just the same.

The yellow emergency lights persist.

>Secure the Area (larger bunker is currently unavailable)

Putting your members fear to constructive use, your security elements order some paneling be torn from the walls and a makeshift barricade to be constructed. The entrance to the Stasis Bay is now fortified.

Everybody should limber up. We just woke up out of cryostasis after all, and we had better not be slugs when it comes to running if there needs to be running. As well, make sure everyone is trained in how to use pistols, shotguns, and knife combat. Our military types will suffice in this.

Well I posted it on an anonymous imageboard. I couldn't really do anything to stop people from copy+pasting it even if I wanted to. That being said I'd politely request that anyone else abstain from running another Post-Apoc Civ Quest on my running days because it's hard enough to get players as-is.

>>41201324
It's always better to ask for permission.

I'm more interested in turning it into builder game, using existing templates as starting point.
And that would probably gather people with whom I'm already playing other builders, so hardly a drain of your own players.

But first of all, we must finish our current builder, which will take some time. Is there any collection of rules posted anywhere or everyone is running post apo civ by him/herself, so no official rules aside templates? Plus I assume those civs come with hero package?

Nonsense! We would never put propaganda. What a filthy word.

Clearly we would only have them play the honest and inspiring and noble words of our infallible leader, who only speaks the truth!

Also yes that is a good idea, helps us reduce casualties by putting them first. At least until we encounter rogue robots with a nasty virus or something.

Plan of action:

reclaim base

get facilities back online

scout immediate area

achieve sustainability

subjugate immediate area through negotion, conquest, or eradication

expand

>>41205986
Excellent overarching strategy, worked well for the Bloodsnow Paramilitary bandits in the same situation. We managed to ally with a strong mutant faction and a ghoul faction and both of us took over the base.

I think Dorf makes a good point about the scouting drones. Once we know where everything is, then we can better plan to take it. We'll need to know what we're dealing with, and what we can use or find

People finally seem to be settling down now that you've managed to get some semblance of security and defense set up. As rooms in the Housing Unit you've secured start to be divided among your populace it occurs to several members that it would be a good idea to get some actual organization of your people going.

-Basic census undertaken
-Basic population information gathered

It seems that you have a good distribution of...just about all the professions you could think of. Scientists, engineers, blue collar workers, government officials, soldiers...the works. You are a thoroughly well rounded and average grouping of people.

After identifying your handful of network specialists you set them to trying to crack the network. They are much more successful in gaining access than the everymen who tried before.

>Acquired
-Complete Base Map
-Limited Life Support Control
-Bulkhead Control

They also managed to shut down the emergency lights and restore normal lighting to the area. Unfortunately it seems that the lockdown protocol has mostly delegated control of the base to the AI...which for some reason doesn't appear to be doing anything. The last thing of import is that several layers of bulkheads around the Containment Unit appear to be engaged. This would normally only be done in the event of a catastrophic breach...but so far as your members can recall there was nothing in containment when you were put into stasis.

Your scouts come back with some (now superfluous) map data. Apparently they scouted out the southern wing of your base, which your new map tells you contains Central Power, the Hydroponics Bay, and the Vehicle Bay.

It seems that the corridors of the bunker are littered with bullet casings but no signs of damage can be found on the walls. There's also a strangely oppressing feeling, and one scout reports "feeling watched" the whole time. Your scouts withdrew before entering any rooms, deciding to return when they heard the klaxons shut off and regular lighting turn on.

My suggestion for midterm goals is a focus on the medical bay and the armory, which will give us weapons to fight any potential trespassers to our vault, and medecine to heal afterward. We'll secure key locations with checkpoints and barricades manned by personnel told to make regular status checks, and if possible given deadman switches that will alert us if a patrol has suddenly been killed.

Once we've fortified these locations, and when we've stockpiled on medecine and weapons, we'll move on to take the more important facilities of the hyrpdoponics for food and the power hub and vehicle bay. We'll save the bulkhead for last.
