The History of The Empire Wastelands

The Empire Wastelands is located in the runes of New York City and east of New Jersey. Before the bombs fell, NYC was a hub of technology, creativity and knowledge. Most destroyed after the bombs fell, but a lot has been recovered over time . When Endcliff was established, now one of the biggest settlements in The Empire Wastelands. a lot of the pre-war values was treasured, and soon it spread throw.

Pre-War New York City

New York City was one of the most popular cities in the United States. Over 8 million people lived in New York City by the year of 2077. Once the bombs fell, 73% of the population evaporated.

After The Bombs (0-50 years after)

During the first 50 years, due to New York being one of the first states being hit by the bombs, high radiation took over NYC, turning most of it’s population that survived the blast into ghouls and fearls.  Barely no one settled there because of the risk of radiation that overtook every aspect of the city. Radiation will be the main concern for the people who live and settled in The Empire Wastelands

50-100 years after

The radiation started to slowly wear off, and soon the first dozen of settlers started to live there, however many wouldn’t survive much longer. Not only because of the rads, but because of the feral ghouls who would attack them. For those who stayed and survived these lands, they made home in run down builds, many finding scrap and tech from the pre war ear. Many found valuable items regarding tech, art, education ect. from the Great War.

100-150 years after

As population began to rise and more people felt safe to settle in the ruines of NYC, The Empire Wastelands became an interest to many. Rads started to go down making it more liveable and the feral ghouls that attacked would be manageable to many, making it a key thing everyone would have to deal with. Most of the fearls around this time would live in the main parts of the city because of the high radiation in had. Many settlers wouldn’t live in the main parts of the city for this reason, however it was a high interest for tech.

150-200 years after, Endclift was established

After more and more people came to The Empire Wastelands, many traveled into the city, as the rads started to drop. As they made it into pre-war New York City, they began to find anything and everything. Settlers would have small farms and settlements all around, and at this time a small settlement called Endcliff was formed. Just within a year, the settlement became one of the biggest settlements in The Empire Wastelands and within 9 years of being formed, grew to have over 75 residents who live there and dozens of people who come in the city. daily.

Deacon:

Deacon would be hiding away in a corner as your held your first Christmas party for all of your friends. He liked to listen in on the conversations happening around him then engaging with the people having them

He was hoping to go unnoticed but you spotted him and quickly made your way over, you and him would stand there gossiping about what you two had heard through out the night

But as you both talked you could hear snickering from behind you, which caused you to turn around and saw Piper and Hancock luaghing

“Aye blue, it looks like Deacon owns you a gift.” Piper said causing you to tilt your head in curiosity but out of the corner of your eye you saw something red, before realizing it was mistletoe

Inside Deacon would be freaking out, but would play it cool and start to joke about it which made you laugh, making him relax a bit and feel confident again

You both were smiling and laughing at his own jokes when all sudden he felt you put your hand on his shoulder and softly plant a kiss on his lips. His eyes would wide behind his glasses before smiling

“Geez boss if I’d known this was going to happen then I would have worn my good suit.”

Hancock:

John would be walking around the party with his hand behind his back and other filled with a bourbon bottle. He was on a mission to find you that night to give you his gift

He saw you talking to Cait and began to make his way over to you. Cait saw him coming told you she would talk to you later, he would then greet you before getting to talk

You would ask how he was enjoy the night which would make him cockily reply that it was good but about to get a whole lot better. You were confused by what he meant by that but just assumed he was going to spike the punch or something

While you were talking you hear someone call your name making you turn your head which gave John all the time he needed to move his hand from behind his back and holding it above the two of you

You turned your head back to him and found that he was now holding mistletoe while grinning madly, you laughed a little before eagerly grabbing him by the collar and make out with him. His grin was ten times bigger when you pulled back

“Woah sunshine, I’m starting to think I didn’t need the mistletoe.”

Danse:

The paladin would have only came to be nice, he wasn’t a party type of person so being there made him slightly uncomfortabe, but he was set at ease when he found you

He spent the majority of the evening with you and was actually starting to enjoy himself, as you and him talked about the new power armor you found while looking for decorations for the event

“Looks like someone’s about to get their first kiss.” You heard Handcock say, you were confused for a second before realizing where you were stand, you had put mistletoe here while decorating and had completely forgotten about it

You looked towards Danse and saw his face was beet red, which only made you assume he glanced up. You begin to say that you didn’t have to go through with it if he didn’t want to

“When your offered a chance to kiss a wonderful person, you don’t turn it down.” You blushed from hearing him say that, his face suddenly dropped. “I said that out loud didn’t I.”

Neither of you made the first move, and just stood there awkwardly until Danse worked up the courage to lift you up bridal style and kissed you with more passion then has for the brotherhood

MacCready:

Robert would be sitting down enjoying a beer with you as you both reminisced about your childhood around the holidays

It interesting to learn that when he was mayor of little lamplight that they would always find a way to celebrate Christmas even if their Christmas tree was a few branches with lights on it

He had just told you a funny story that caused you to laugh so hard that you looked towards the ceiling with laughter where behind tears of joy you saw mistletoe

“Looks like your getting lucky tonight.” You said glancing over to MacCready who looked very confused so you pointed up, his eyes followed your finger and widen after seeing that

“(Y/N) we don’t have to do that.” He said in a nervous chuckling but you could read between the lines that he didn’t want that

He had turned his head away from you so you lightly moved his head to face you and did what he wished he could do and kissed him.

X6-88:

He would only be there on father’s orders to monitor you which was basically him giving death glares to anyone that came up to you and telling them after they were done talking to you it would be in their best interest not to talk to you again

But his job was made easier when you came over and started telling to him about old Christmas stories you could remember

He would gladly stand there and listen to you as long he could still watch over you. As you rambled on he observers the room thinking it’s pretty dull until his eyes landed on something red

“Ma’am what’s that red thing?” He would ask turning your to what he was referring to only to start giggling slightly when you saw it

“That’s mistletoe, it’s a holiday tradition to kiss someone when you stand under it.” You would explain but X6 would start to say that it was idiotic to just kiss someone because of a plant

But all you did in return was smirk. He knew that look, that was look you made before you did something stupid. He tried to follow up his previous statement but you lunged at him, in a kissing attack, showing him that the tradition wasn’t all bad

Nick:

Nick would be outside smoking. He had been enjoying his self inside but wanted a moment alone

He was thinking to himself when he heard the door open, then close. He turned his head slightly and saw it was you

You walked over and stood next to him, before taking out a cigarette and fumbling for a lighter until Nick pulled out his own and lighting it for you which made you nod in appreciation

You and him soon start to talk about the holidays before the bombs. He told you a story how a man who was a known criminal who came across a lost child and safely walked them to the police, Nick was going to arrest him but saw what he did and let him go

His story made you smile, it was nice to know that even in those dark times that there was still good in the world. Nick took one last puff off his cigarette before stompomg it out. He looked up and blew out the smoke but was pleasantly surprised to find mistletoee

“Now would you look at that, mistletoe.” He said making you both smile. You hadn’t thought you would be participating in your own little decoration. He brought his hand up to your face and kissed you while enjoying a perfect moment

Preston:

Preston was happy to come to the party as he was looking to bring the community together

He would be spending the night talking with all different kind of settlers as he promoted the minuetmen cause along with the holiday spirit

He eventually come across you while talking to a settler, you and him would strike up a conversation about the holidays when the same settler would point out that you two were under the mistletoe

Preston blushed intensely when he heard that, and say that it would be inappropriate for you two to kiss

“One little kiss won’t hurt now will it?” He couldn’t deny that you were right, and finally agreed to it

You took the lead, by wrapping your arms around his neck and laying a sweet kiss on his lips, he still thought it was inappropriate but would not lie that he enjoyed it very much
