As opposed to my Fallout: New Vegas dynasty, in which I took a story I had worked on (The Shadow Man) and then converted it into the OOTP and Fallout universes, this dynasty will be baseball-centric.

I still plan to give some life to the universe and add in snippets of the past and other shenanigans of the characters, but I am not devoting as much time to the Sole Survivor as I did with the Courier of New Vegas.

If you are reading this dynasty and there are references you just do not understand, then please ask! For example, you may see me refer to caps or bottle caps. In the Fallout universe, bottle caps have replaced dollars as the currency in Fallout though there are places where paper money and alternative money are used.

SPOILER ALERT:
I am using the original given demo name of the Sole Survival, Nate Howard. In the game at the start of the Great War in 2077, Nate was frozen involuntarily in a cryopod, along with his wife and child. At some unnamed point, he woke up just long enough to see his son taken and his wife murdered. He was frozen again, before finally waking up in 2287 and freeing himself from the cryo vault, Vault 111.

After escaping, the war veteran fought his way through a dangerous and divided Commonwealth. He was able to confront the kidnapper/murderer and eventually located his son. He then had to make decisions about the future of the Commonwealth, including the fate of his son who was no longer the baby he remembered.

In the game, there were four major factions with whom Nate could ally himself. In most cases, allying with one ally meant having to destroy other factions. Bethesda did not give the choice to side with everyone or no one, so players were placed into one of four (with a few variations) boxes to be able to complete the game.

I am choosing to create my own ending where Nate could use the powers he obtained to unite rather than divide the factions. In my world, all four of the factions could play an important role in unifying the Commonwealth, and each of them has greater importance in making the Commonwealth an epicenter of peace that places like the Capital Wasteland can never be. The next post will detail some of those ideas that led to baseball as the Commonwealth's pastime.

One final note: the universe created here coincides with my Fallout: New Vegas dynasty, if I can make it that far to tell the connected story. Otherwise, it's time to set up this baseball league!
