Brotherhood of Steel Initiate

Born from the terrible revelations of the Mariposa Rebellion, Roger Maxson formed the Brotherhood of Steel so that his people—and eventually the rest of the survivors in this new world—would have something to believe in. With its own mythology, creed, and hierarchy, the Brotherhood of Steel’s primary goal is the recovery and preservation of the technology of the pre-war world. With the Great War disrupting humanity’s access to technology, the Brotherhood’s knights and scribes do all they can to secure the technology of the past, for the needs of future generations.
You may be a descendant of a knight or paladin, born into the Brotherhood and a firm believer of their doctrine, or you may be a new recruit, pledging yourself to their cause and looking to rise through their ranks.
Although the Brotherhood share a common goal, their chapters across the wasteland can have different beliefs and protocols, and they aren’t as unified as they seem from the outside. While the West Coast Brotherhood of Steel warred with the New California Republic over reclamation of technology and the NCR’s expansion efforts, the East Coast chapter was effectively isolated when it prioritized charity over the exchange of technology and the preservation of pre-war equipment. Elder Lyons’ mission became humanitarian, and while that earned them isolation at first, Arthur Maxson led their expansion of influence from Washington D.C. to the entire Eastern Seaboard, refocusing their efforts on technological recovery and development.

Trait: The Chain that Binds

You gain one additional Tag skill, which must be one of Energy Weapons, Science, or Repair.
Additionally as you rise in rank within the BoS you can, once per Quest, call upon members of the Brotherhood to help by performing a non-critical task for you. Example: The Brotherhood could protect a settlement on your behalf while you and the party raided a military base (the Quest goal) to find a hidden technology - thus preventing collateral damage from Raiders that otherwise might split the focus of the party.
As a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, you are bound by the chain of command: The Chain that Binds. You must carry out the orders of your immediate superiors, and you are responsible for your subordinate siblings. If you do not carry out your duty, you are expelled from the Brotherhood and your technology will be reclaimed—by any means necessary!
