BackStory:
The Addington Family originally was started by George Hamrick Addington. He was a wealthy buisness man who adored History especially Medieval Europe. He owned a mansion in southern Ohio which he lived in with his wife Elizebeth Cambell and his three sons and daughter which were Andrew Maxwell Addington (18), Kent Rutherford Addington (17), Jack Ryan Addington (14) and Jack's twin sister Emily Cotswalt Addington (14). They also  had a bunch of servants such as house keepers, butlers, and chefs. The Entire mansion was decorated with relics from George's Ancestor's clan in England(which was called Addington). His house had swords from the medieval ages and armor.The Mansion's main entrance had long banners bearing the Addington Crest. The house had old muskets,rifles,pistols that the Addington family used when they came to the New World (America) all branded on the stock the family's coat of arms. In George's Mansion, he was able to buy a private vault to be installed under his mansion that can protect all the inhabitants inside the mansion. The Vault wasn't super advanced like the public Vaults however, it was able to keep all of the inhabitants safe. During the time the inhabitants were stuck in the vault waiting for the radiation to die down so they can walk the earth, George feared for society. He knew that the goverment would collapse and that the world would become a dog eat dog world runned by clans, tribes and armies just like in Medieval Europe. He began to teach the family how to sword fight and use the old rifles and muskets. The people didn't really understand at first why they were needing to learn how to shoot and fight and most servents didn't come to George's seminars. It wasn't until the vault had a molerat infestation. George, his children and two Butlers (Joseph Winestine and Alexander Kenington) were able to get all of the servants to safety and fend off the molerats. In fear, the servants quickly wanted to learn how to defend themselves more than ever. A year later, George noticed the food dwindling. He quickly remember how Lords made plantations and he attempted to convert the recreation center of the vault into a plantation since it was the only place in the vault that had soil. George extracted seeds from some of the foods they had and began to grow a plantation. While George was making the Servants tend the fields the food continued to dwindle and the plantation seemed like a waste of supplies. Most servants resorted to eating the molerats which gave a few radiation sickness. Talks of opening the vault and getting out were not uncommon however no one knew the password to open the vault except for George himself. After a few months, George walks threw his plantation, most plants ended up dying since the seeds from most canned food are bad he see's in the back corner of the plantation a row with potatoes,strawberries,cucumbers,etc. Although not enough to survive for a long time, gave hope to the inhabitants. After another season, the plantation was floruished with fruits and vegtables. The Servants began to worship George and his family. After a few years, the vault began to have the culture of an 19th century English Clan.
When the family finnally opened the vault door (since it was finally safe), they noticed that the mansion mostly stayed intact, the windows were shattered and all of the furiture and art pieces were on the ground however, the walls were standing up and the Addington Banners waved proudly on the cieling. Georges archive of relics of his old family were also intact including armor guns and melee weapons. The inhabitants had a meeting where the organized jobs. George was the Clan Leader, his first two sons and the two butlers (Andrew,Kent,Joseph and Alexander) trained the inhabitants a more advanced self defense now with the Addington Archive and a small army. Jack was in charge of the agriculture and Emily and her mother were in charge of Medicine which Emily learned from the archive how to cure small doses of radiation which helped some servants who ate the radiated Mole Rat meat and she learned first aid. The family was able to create a stable source of agriculture in the backyard of the Mansion and the small army was used as a scavenging party most of the time. Although Emily was able to learn basic medicine and some first aid, most of the books in the archive were proven falsed and made the Addington Family without a doctor.
A decade has passed since. The Mansion finnaly get their first contact with an actual Tribe. The Tribe's name was the Weavers. When the Messanger asked the name of George's tribe's name, he said the Addington Family. The Weavers were a civilized group of tribals which made the Addington feel comfortable around when negotating with the Weavers. The Weavers were able to supply some livestock and a doctors to come to the Estates when needed. The two tribes lived peacefully together for many years.
One day a large group of Weavers came to the front gate of the Mansion. The Weavers were attacked by a tribe from the north. A Tribe of Savages that called themselves The Vatos. They destroyed everything the weavers had, they burned the livestock.The women were raped and made sex slaves, the children were killed, the strong men were either made gladiators or slaves and the rest were killed. One group of Weavers managed to escape aided by Jacob Weaver. George took the Weavers in and made the Weavers Nobles in the Addington Family. The Family began to get attacks from The Vatos. The Addington family did not have any problems in combat however the Addington family had no one to treat severe injuries which made the Army decrease in size. The Vatos knowing this kept doing regular small raids on the Mansion.
Major Crisis began to happen. The Eldest son Andrew was killed in an ambush during a scavenging party however Andrew was able to fend off the The Vatos long enough for the rest of his army to flee and George and his Wife finnaly passed away. The Next person to take control was Kent Rutherford Addington. He gathered a few nobles and the new Addington Blood Members to a meeting. They knew that the Vatos was a threat however they proposed that they send off a small section of the clan to what was known as Kentucy so they can have another Base of operations that can be a fall back point and so they can learn new combat tactics and skills such as medicine and to gain new allies and open new trade routes. Kent put his son Edward Kalen Addington (Age 27) to lead the new base of operations and was accompanied by one of the Weaver Nobles as his Advisor.
This is a new chapter in the Addington family. The future of the Addington family rests upon Edward's sub-clan to gain help and land in the new area so they may fight the Vatos and advance the family.

The Family's Hierachy is a ranking system on how respected a person is and not by combat experiance.

(Only 1)Lord-
(Only 1)Advisor-
(Only 2)Warden-
            Seargant-
            High ClansMan/Woman-
            ClansMan/Woman-

( I might do alteration to the ranking system but this is a base of what it will be like)


The Addington Warriors usually use guns such as repeaters shotguns  and they use high tech bows
and they always carry a melee weapon of choice such as a mace,sword,dagger,etc. The Warriors wear chain Mail armor with a Black Guild Tabard on bearing the Addington crest on the front. They also have the option to wear a Crusader Helmet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I would like your guy's opinion.

+ support and -support and please tell me why and if you are on the fence or slightly leaning   some direction please give me feedback on how you think I should I change this. I will admit it, I am a crappy writter and I wrote this in the middle of the night tired but determined to finish this.

I will actually Make this group if I get atleast a few approvals. Also please say if you would be intrested in joining.

I also bet someone is going to say lol wait for Crussaria to come out to do something like this but, I think it will be intresting in a fallout World and me and Ravanger were talking and noticed in most PA Genre books and movies, there always is a group that is based off Medieval civilization. (IE: Doomsday,Dies the Fire,Reign of fire(somewhat),etc.)

Thank you for reading and Long live the Addington Clan.

What I mean by official is that I don't want to make the PBG before I get approval from the community. And What do you think Jake?
