Chosen One (Fallout)/Synopsis

== Biography ==
=== Family Ties ===
The bloodline of the wasteland's most influential tribesman extends all the way back to the Vault Dweller and his wife Patricia. As the son of the village elder, the Chosen One is a member of the third generation of former Vault 13 dwellers living outside the vault, similar to how his grandfather was the third generation to live in a vault.
=== The Quest ===
The Chosen One was trained from birth to become the tribe's champion, and, in the future, their elder. Part of these trials were drug sessions with Hakunin, with the final stage of the Chosen One's development being the Temple of Trials; a trial the Chosen One's mother had also completed long ago. After completing his training, the Chosen One was sent out by the people of Arroyo to find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit, which was believed to have the power to make the failing village thrive once more.
=== Exploits in the Wasteland ===
In the course of the Chosen One's journey, he changed the wasteland in many ways, both great and small. His exploits brought excitement to the boring Klamath, he ruined Rose's unique cuisine in Modoc (by shooting her deathclaw in the eye, no less) and earned the friendship and protection of John Cassidy.
In his travels further south, he exposed the Broken Hills' anti-mutant conspirators' attempt to rid the town of super mutants, thereby earning the loyalty and friendship of the sheriff, Marcus, who joined him on his quest. In New Reno, he sired an illegitimate son, who would eventually become the feared and powerful leader of the Bishop crime family.
Some of his most important deeds took place in Shady Sands, once he entered NCR lands. By killing Darion, leader of the New Khans, he arranged for the Vault 15 squatters to voluntarily join the NCR. This proved that President Tandi's policy of peaceful expansion can be successful, which resulted in a campaign for the NCR's further expansion.
=== The Enclave ===
Eventually, the Chosen One found the G.E.C.K. in Vault 13, but he also discovered that there was more at stake than just the future of his village. The Enclave, a vicious para-military organization formed from select members of the pre-War government and the military-industrial complex, abducted the tribals of Arroyo, in order to develop a biological agent capable of wiping out the entire human race, outside of those specially inoculated.
His journey to defeat the Enclave took him to Navarro, where is was documented that he infiltrated the military base, where he was caught by its drill sergeant without the Enclave's regulatory uniform. Taken for a fresh transfer, he was given the world's loudest berating. While there, the Chosen One freed Xarn, killed the Enclave scientist Dr. Schreber, and repaired a cyberdog named K-9; later leaving him under the care of a mechanic named Dorothy.
The Chosen One reached the Enclave's headquarters (the ancient Control station Enclave) through the use of an old tanker, the PMV Valdez. He destroyed the oil rig by triggering a meltdown of its reactor, and freed both his people and the captured Vault 13 dwellers, killing both President Dick Richardson and Frank Horrigan in the process.
=== Legacy ===
With the G.E.C.K. in his hands, the Chosen One, along with the Arroyo tribals and the Vault 13 dwellers, founded the city of New Arroyo and reunited the two bloodlines that had been separated for three generations. The village elder, pleased with the reunion, found peace and passed away a few months later, leaving the leadership of the village to the Chosen One. With the combination of the vault dwellers' technical know-how and the tribals' survival skills, New Arroyo thrived under the Chosen One's rule, and grew into a powerful civilization.
Inspired by the Chosen One's example, Marcus wandered east after Broken Hills dispersed, eventually founding Jacobstown in the Mojave Wasteland. He and the Chosen One would never hear from each other again, but if the Courier asks about The Chosen One, Marcus replies that he has has a feeling that everything worked out for him in the end. The Chosen One was also remembered by other individuals. While not being born at the time it happened, Klamath Bob still would tell stories about the tribal that visited the town of Klamath and stirred up the place, and Cannibal Johnson would reminisce of his visit to Navarro.

Faction 	Outcome 	Canon
Arroyo 	"After the Enclave's destruction, the refugees of Arroyo and Vault 13 resettled, building a new community with the aid of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. Finding themselves hundreds of miles from their Vault, the members of Vault 13 chose to join the villagers in establishing a new community, and their technical expertise, combined with the villagers survival skills, allowed the new settlement to grow and prosper. Two generations of the same bloodline were re-united, and their savior, the Chosen One, became Elder, presiding over the village in the years to come." 	Yes
Arroyo 	"Arroyo's elder lived for many years after the destruction of the Enclave. She was pleased that the ancient separation between Vault 13 and the Vault Dweller had been reconciled, and many were the times she told you that she wished the Vault Dweller were alive to have seen the reconciliation take place. The Elder passed away in her sleep, certain that the safety of your new village had been secured and was now flourishing. Many of the older Arroyo residents believe that she now lives in the vault of the sky, telling the Vault Dwellers of your brave deeds." 	Yes
Modoc 	Modoc & Slags make peace: "Relations between the Slags and residents of Modoc flourished. Between the two peoples, Modoc prospered and became a major farming community, supplying all the outlying regions with food." 	Yes
Modoc 	Modoc has a drought: "The drought lasts for another seven long years. Even though the residents of Modoc attempted to weather the drought, their dreams along with their crops withered to dust." 	No
Modoc 	Slags raze Modoc: "Armed with flares and clubs, the people of Modoc invaded the Slags' underground city. The Slags were quickly defeated, and the Modoc residents slaughtered every man, woman, and child they found. Rumor of this vicious attack spread far and wide, and fear motivated Modoc's neighbors to attack and destroy the town." 	No
Modoc 	Slags are destroyed: "The extermination of the Slags only created new problems for Modoc. Unable to find the Slags underground cistern to sustain the crops, Modoc was hit hard by the resultant drought. Over the next several years, the people of Modoc either moved away or died of starvation." 	No
The Den 	Metzger dies: "With Metzger gone, slavery disappeared from the area. Becky's Casino Bar grew quickly, and Rebecca Dyer's reputation as a honest casino and bar owner brought her the business needed to buy out her competition and expand. The Den flourished, and it soon gained a reputation for being a tough, but honest, community." 	Either
The Den 	Metzger & Becky die: "Without any viable economy, the Den soon vanished into the wasteland." 	Either
The Den 	Big Jesus dies: "Metzger's business in the slave trade soon faded with the removal of the Mordino family. The Den continued to attract criminals, and Metzger's business practices delved further into drugs and prostitution. The Den soon became a rallying point and a safe haven for raiders." 	Either
The Den 	Metzger & Jesus live: "Metzger's slave trade in the Den expanded greatly, giving him influence and power throughout most of the area. Breeding pens were started and eventually no one was safe from the threat of being enslaved. Travelers avoided the Den, hearing of the evils committed within its walls." 	Either
Vault City 	Broken power plant: "Over the next few years, the background radiation from Gecko's power plant began to cause mutations in the Vault City population, forcing the Citizens to relocate to NCR. NCR, however, recalling past animosity, relegated the Vault City refugees to the status of second class citizens." 	Either
Vault City 	Independent Vault City: "The correspondence between NCR and Vault City continued, and a few years after the destruction of the Enclave, Roger Westin assumed the head of the NCR council. He immediately set limits for NCR's expansion north, and in a landmark settlement, passed an amendment that formally recognized Vault City's independence. Shortly after this settlement, Westin suffered a heart attack and retired from politics. He moved north to Vault City for medical treatment and eventually married Joann Lynette in the following year." 	Either
Vault City 	NCR invade Vault CIty: "In the years to come, Vault City suffered greatly from raider attacks. Eventually, the situation grew so desperate the Citizens were forced to request aid from NCR. Within a month, a large detachment of the NCR's military was stationed in Vault City. The military presence quickly became an occupation force, and Vault City became the first of NCR's border territories." 	Either
Vault City 	Vault City joins NCR: "In the years following the destruction of the Enclave, Vault City continued to stagnate, choking on its own isolationism. Its Vault 8 generator, which was never intended to support such a large population, prevented Vault City's necessary expansion. Eventually, the city was absorbed by NCR, which had spread steadily northwards since its founding." 	Either
Vault City 	Turn Vault City hostile: "The slaughter of Vault City has become the stuff of legend. One day it was a thriving community, and the next, the bodies of its Citizens lay strewn throughout the streets. It looked as if raiders had sacked the city, but no bodies of the attackers were ever found. Their Vault was plundered of all its technology, and refugees from Gecko soon moved into the broken walls of the city." 	Either
Vault City 	Turn Vault City hostile & fix power plant: "The slaughter of Vault City has become the stuff of legend. One day it was a thriving community, and the next, the bodies of its Citizens lay strewn throughout the streets. It looked as if raiders had sacked the city, but no bodies of the attackers were ever found. Their Vault was plundered of all its technology, and the inhabitants of Gecko soon moved into the broken walls of the city. In a few short months, they had rebuilt the city and restored much of the systems that had been damaged by the raiders." 	Either
New Reno 	Impregnate Leslie/Angela: "Not long after the destruction of the Enclave, the Bishop Family of New Reno was blessed with a child. This child seemed to have little in common with the Bishops, preferring instead to spend his days exploring the wastes. When he turned thirteen, he seized control of the Bishop Family and led them to victory over the remaining New Reno families. He died quietly in his sleep at the age of 73, never having known his real father." 	Yes
New Reno 	Impregnate Leslie/Angela & tell Leslie to move: "In the years following the destruction of the Enclave, a new family arose in New Reno, following the example of a simple tribal that had once visited their city. They were few in number but surprisingly resourceful. Driven by religious fervor, they took control of New Reno and put the other families to the spear. After their victory, they sent out many messengers across Northern California looking for their founder, but without success. Many felt that the founder had been taken by the fortune spirits and now dwelled in a golden casino paradise in the sky." 	No
New Reno 	All four mafia bosses dead: "The inhabitants of New Reno were slaughtered, and the city collapsed into ruin. No lights shine there now, the streets home only to packs of wild dogs and vultures. The desert tribes avoid the giant graveyard, claiming the city is haunted by evil spirits. Some say the destruction of New Reno was a judgment from a higher power." 	No
New Reno 	Mordinos wane, don't return for jet antidote: "With their jet production halted with the discovery of a cure, the Mordino Family quickly lost ground in New Reno and were absorbed by the other families. Most became enforcers or slaves, and the name Mordino was soon forgotten." 	Semi
New Reno 	Bishops control Reno: "The Bishop Family of New Reno rose to prominence over the next few years, forming a strong political alliance with the New California Republic and Vault City. Many mysterious deaths and closed-door proceedings surrounded the formation of the alliance, but in the end, New Reno became part of the 'civilized' world. The other families were soon absorbed, and New Reno became a prime tourist location for the new republic. In the decades after the alliance, several Bishops rose to political power and were instrumental in the passage of several amendments protecting gambling rights and prostitution."	No
New Reno 	Salvatores control Reno: "The Salvatore Family of New Reno, having profited from their ties to Navarro, used their laser weaponry to burn the other families into submission. The resultant massacre was dubbed "Ash Friday" and is still celebrated in New Reno to this day." 	No
New Reno 	Mordinos control Reno: "The Mordino Family grew greatly in power as jet's influence spread across Northern California. Within a year, they had seized control of New Reno and expanded their empire, absorbing the Den and other surrounding areas. There was little violence in the conquest, as jet had weakened all resistance to Mordino rule." 	No
New Reno 	Wrights control Reno: "Less than a month after the Enclave's destruction, a mob war broke out in New Reno streets. The Wrights, armed with an arsenal of weaponry that dated back to the pre-War years, leveled the casinos of the other families with rocket launchers. The 'mob war' was clocked as lasting a little over 43 minutes, and when the smoke cleared, half of New Reno had been demolished. To this day, it is commonly taught that the Wright Family were the founders of New Reno." 	No
New Reno 	Wrights control Reno, finish their murder quest: "Within a year of the Enclave's destruction, the Wright Family turned from criminal activity to legitimate pursuits. Several schools and churches were established in New Reno, along with a law enforcement body that crippled the influence of the families. Though New Reno lost much of its edge, the city obtained a certain solidity that appealed to newcomers. Many came to Reno, not to visit, but to live, and the population increased threefold. Today the test scores of New Reno high school graduates are greater than many Californian schools before the War." 	Yes
New Reno 	Wrights control Reno, don't finish murder quest: "Within months after the Enclave's destruction, war broke out in New Reno streets. The Wrights, believing the Mordinos responsible for the death of one of their family, attacked the Desperado casino. The running gun battle that ensued lasted little more than a day, and the Wrights were massacred to the last woman and child. Their mansion lies vacant now, and there are few New Reno inhabitants who remember who once lived there." 	No
Richard Wright 	Expose the Salvatores: "Though the Wright Family never completely recovered from Richard's death, the knowledge that the killer had been brought to justice eased their troubled sleep." 	Either
Richard Wright 	Don't solve Richard's murder: "Though a murderer had been found and punished, the true identity of the man who had killed Mr. Wright's son was never discovered. The murder was never spoken of again and became a closed chapter in the Wright Family history." 	Either
Myron 	"Myron died less than a year after the defeat of the Enclave, stabbed by a jet addict while drinking in the Den. His discovery of jet was quickly forgotten, and now there is no one who remembers his name." 	Yes
Harold 	"You still hear mention of Harold from time to time. Apparently, the tree growing from his head has gotten larger, and if rumors are to be believed, fruit is growing from it. The seeds are said to be remarkably tough, and several of them have taken root even in the most barren stretches of the wasteland." 	Yes
Gecko 	Blow up the power plant: "The Gecko reactor meltdown had terrible consequences for the region. The resultant radioactivity and heat emanating from the reactor killed every living creature within a ten-kilometer radius and poisoned the area for years to come. Vault City's perceived threat from the peaceful ghouls of Gecko was at an end." 	Either
Gecko 	Fix power plant: "Optimizing Gecko's reactor creates a power surplus in Gecko. The Vault City council, unable to expand because of their limited power supply, yields to internal pressure and is forced to take over Gecko to control the reactor. The peaceful ghouls of Gecko become slaves and spend the rest of their lives serving Vault City." 	Either
Gecko 	Fix power plant, don't get reactor holodisk from Festus: "Repairing Gecko's power plant prevented any further radioactivity from leaking into Vault City's groundwater. Though this eased tensions between the two communities, they still maintain an uneasy truce." 	Either
Gecko 	Deliver data holodisk to McClure: "Optimizing Gecko's power plant became the first step in forging a spirit of cooperation between Gecko and Vault City. Gecko's increased power production became instrumental in helping Vault City's expansion. The harsh xenophobia of many of Vault City's leaders faded into obscurity while ghoul and human labored side-by-side to create a center of learning and tolerance where once had stood only enmity and distrust." 	Either
Gecko 	Don't fix the power plant: "Eventually the citizens of Vault City tired of having their groundwater radiated by the ghoul's leaking atomic reactor in Gecko. In a wave of xenophobic fear and hatred, the well-armed soldiers of Vault City slaughtered the peaceful ghouls and shut down the reactor for good. Unable to harness any additional sources of power Vault City eventually stagnated and died-itself a victim of its own hatred." 	Either
Redding 	Sell the chip to LeBarge, Redding joins NCR: "Several years after buying the Excavator Chip from the Chosen One, Marge LeBarge was able to purchase and control both the Morningstar and the newly opened Kokoweef mines. Marge was an easy choice for Mayor, and using her new political power, she made Redding join the growing New California Republic in return for a seat in the NCR's Hall of Congress." 	Yes
Redding 	Deliver jet antidote, Vault City Annexes Redding: "After Doc Johnson helped treat the miners during the Great Jet Scare, the Citizens of Vault City voted Doc Johnson into the Mayor's seat. Under the Doctor's patient hand, Redding forged closer ties with Vault City until, some years later, Vault City annexed Redding, granting Vault City Citizenship to only 10 percent of Redding's population." 	No
Redding 	Sell the chip to McGrew, Redding allies with New Reno: "Several years after the Chosen one sold the Excavator Chip to Dangerous Dan McGrew, Dan used the superior production of his Morningstar Mine to buy the Kokoweef mine and then to reopen the Great Wanamingo Mine. Dan then used his industrial clout to forge an alliance of convenience with the families of New Reno, trading gold in return for protection." 	No
Redding 	Don't sell the chip, Redding is deserted: "The gold-producing town of Redding soon found itself in the unenviable position of a scrap of meat being torn by three jealous vultures. Sooner than many would have expected there was nothing left of the scrap that was once Redding, for Vault City, New Reno, and the New California Republic had laid waste what was once an area of plenty. Nothing now exists but the desiccated husk of what once was Redding." 	No
Broken Hills 	Get Marcus to jail mutant-haters: "With the destruction of the conspiracy to destroy the mutants, Broken Hills began to thrive. Then the uranium ran out. The city, having lost its sole reason for existing, slowly dispersed. The residents carried their riches with them, leaving the place a wind-swept, desolate ghost town. A few hold-outs remained, attempting to eke out a pathetic existence, but eventually, they too, disappeared." 	Yes
Broken Hills 	The mutants in the mine die: "The destruction of the mutants ensured the death of the town. Without their strength and ability to withstand the toxins within the mine, the valuable ore proved unattainable. Those who caused this destruction rejoiced at first… until they realized the foolishness of what they had done. They struggled to keep the community flourishing, but to no avail. The winds and the waste scoured Broken Hills from the map." 	No
Broken Hills 	Do neither of the above: "Shortly after your last departure, the powder keg of racial tension in Broken Hills exploded. Racist humans fought against mutants, ghouls, and humans who had sided with the mutants. The few survivors of the battle destroyed the mine, ensuring no one else could profit by it, and disappeared into the wastes." 	No
Marcus 	Marcus lives: "Inspired by the example set by the Chosen One, Marcus eventually traveled across the great mountains to the east, searching for other refugees from the Master's army. You never heard from him again." 	Yes
NCR 	Seal the deal with NCR & Vault 15: "Your help with Vault 15 launched the New California Republic's push to civilize its neighbors. Though there were many more obstacles to overcome, the NCR now had a foothold into the northern wastes." 	Yes
NCR 	Don't seal the deal, Westin lives: "The failure of diplomacy at Vault 15 slows the New California Republic's growth into the north. Embarrassed by the failure, President Tandi is replaced by Roger Westin. When the new government finally returns to Vault 15, they find nothing but a ghost town." 	No
NCR 	Don't seal the deal, Westin dies: "Already weakened by the failure to annex Vault 15, President Tandi was forced to retire when her own Vice-President Carlson accused her of complicity in Councilman Westin's death. As President, Carlson wasted no time in securing his grip on power. Under his rule, expansion slowed, as he was more concerned about lining his own pockets than furthering the cause of civilization." 	No
NCR 	Don't seal the deal, Westin & Carlson die: "Shaken by the assassination of Vice-President Carlson, right-wing elements seize control of the Congress and set the New California Republic on a path to military rule. Eventually the survivors of the Enclave found a new home in the ranks of the NCR." 	No
Vault 15 	Seal the deal with NCR: "With the support of the New California Republic, the Vault 15 squatters soon become self-sufficient and productive members of society." 	Yes
Vault 15 	Don't seal the deal: "The squatters of Vault 15 continued their meaningless, non-productive lives. No one noticed when the desert wastes finally claimed 'The Squat'..." 	No
Vault 13 	Kill Schreber & fix the vault computer: "With your aid, the deathclaws of Vault 13 became a thriving community. When the vault could no longer hold their numbers, a peaceful campaign of expansion was launched to claim the surrounding lands..." 	Either
Vault 13 	Enclave murder Vault 13's deathclaws: "By eliminating the deathclaws of Vault 13 you banished yet another species to the realms of extinction, proving, once again, that genocide is a viable solution to any problem..." 	Either
The Shi 	Turn the Shi hostile: "The Shi, demoralized and leaderless after your rampage through their town, slowly drifted apart. They blended into other towns, hoping to find a place free from the depredations of killers." 	Either
The Shi 	Dr. Wong dies, don't turn the Shi hostile: "The strain of plant the scientists were growing mutated, gaining a measure of sentience. It killed the laboratory technicians and took over the laboratory in which it was first conceived. It took a massive concentration of resources to crush the being, and this left the Shi poverty-stricken. They disappeared into the wastes." 	Either
The Shi 	Do neither of the above: "The Shi flourished, creating a botanical scourge on the radiation surrounding their beloved town. Though this vine could not grow in other soils, the Shi took care to nourish it in their lands. They continued to grow in strength and prominence, forming the basis of a new empire." 	Either
Tanker Vagrants	"As for the tanker vagrants... well, as vagrants do, they drifted on." 	Yes
Enclave 	"The destruction of the Enclave erased all trace of President Richardson from history. Now the title of "President" is used as a bogeyman to frighten children." 	Yes
Hubologists 	Don't get fuel for the Hubologists: "The scientists grew tired of waiting for the Star Father to come for them or provide the fuel they needed. Using a cheap derivative fuel, they launched an abortive effort to reach the stars themselves. Their shuttle exploded moments after take off." 	Either
Hubologists 	Get fuel for the Hubologists: "The scientists ensured a safe and speedy launch of the Quetzel. Unfortunately, they didn't account for having recycled air aboard their ship, and they perished in orbit." 	Either
Hubologists 	Do both of the above: "The scientists ensured a safe and speedy launch of the Quetzel. Unfortunately, they didn't account for having recycled air aboard their ship, and they perished in orbit." 	Either
