Owyn Lyons is a degenerate who lived on the West Coast. A jet addicted, jenkem enthusiast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem , Owyn Lyons is the lowest of the low in the wasteland. With a pension for feeling down on himself, and depressed about the way his life has turned out, one group has always been the subject of his admiration, and that group is the Brotherhood of Steel.
Owyn Lyons isn’t the smartest man in the world, nor is he particularly observant. In his idol worship, he has mistaken the Brotherhood of Steel for some kind of knightly order of do-gooders, whose goal is to protect the weak and scared people of the wastes.
After one particular bender, Lyons finds himself on the East Coast. Not sure how he got there, Lyons notices the lack of Brotherhood presence on this coast. He gathers up a group of junkies that he has met along his journey to form a new branch of the Brotherhood. Along with this group of junkies, is a young girl that Owyn Lyons has kidnapped. He refers to her as his daughter, but has plans to one day marry her.
With no ability to create power armor, Lyons and his rag tag group of junkies and derelicts basically just nail together scraps of metal, pots, pans, and generally anything they can find to fashion a new set of Brotherhood Armor. They are then almost ready to set out on their goal to rid the east coast of mutants, and generally any evil doers they come across. The problem is, they have no weapons. But this is quickly solved when Owyn Lyons discovers a group of mutants on the East Coast. He trades drugs, and time with his daughter/wife for a good stockpile of weapons, which he then uses against these mutants igniting a civil war between humans, and these once peaceful, level headed mutants.
More notes: I wanted to make it an almost Don Quixote type thing, with a jet addict. But, I quickly discovered I wasn't that great of an author. Also, jenkem is something I added to Fallout lore. It's used a lot by people in war torn nations, and sometimes homeless people. It's pretty disgusting, and I find it kind of humorous. I was gonna clean it up a bit, and try and get it to flow better, but upon re-reading it, I chuckled to myself and thought "what am I doing? Jenkem? Daughter-wife? wtf". I figured NMA wanted some serious stuff, and mine seems a little too off the wall.
