Vault-Tec City Coalition

The Vault-Tec City Coalition is a small nation growing within the Palo Verde Valley, consisting of it's capital of High Valley Hills, Cog City and several smaller settlements. Growing out of trade relations between High Valley Hills and other settlements which grew from their local Vaults,

High Valley Hills is a settlement located at the Northern end of the Palo Verde Valley. Established by the dwellers of Vault 115 following the clearance of a raider camp set up at their door, it aims to be a beacon of light amongst the desolate wastes. Most records from within the Vault lie as corrupted files, lost to the binary mists of time. It's a society where one lives or dies by their next pay check, with segments of it treated as being lower class citizens, even more so than those living in the outer city.

Legalities
If the crimes committed are clear cut after the scene, a sentence may be given on the spot by the Marshal. If a Marshal is unavailable and the situation must be resolved with haste, the highest ranking member of Security attending the crime scene may pronounce the sentence. If the crime and sentence are not as clear cut, the Marshal handling the case can take it to a "court": both the prosecution and defendants build their case before bringing it before a High Marshal, who then weighs the evidence and circumstances before making their judgement.

Alderman
You report directly to the Overseer, serving as one of their appointed staff. A subordinate of the Overseer of the Vault and the City, you are the primary face of the settlement. Handling the day to day dealings of the denizens of our fair city falls to you. Those wasters outside the walls are an unknown factor, so it falls to you to maintain relations with the Wastelands many players. Balance the budget, but don't step on the Merchant's toes. Organise defences, but do not encroach on the Marshal's office. Most of all: don't lose your head.

The bare minimum:
 * Lead the settlement
 * Delegate to the citizens
 * Advertise the settlement over radios
 * Take what the Preacher says seriously

Marshal
You report to the Alderman, the High Marshals, and the Overseer. As the head of the security forces, you are the face of justice in the settlements. Uphold the law, or bend it to suit your needs, you set the precedent for how justice is doled out in the settlement, so bear that in mind when you sentence that pickpocket to death. Maintain the armoury and keep that watchful eye on the elevator to the Vault below. Whatever you do, don't lose your head.

The bare minimum:
 * Watch the gates
 * Watch the armoury
 * Watch the Vault
 * Give orders to Security teams

Merchant
You report to the Alderman and the Overseer. The CASP system is your responsibility, the lifeblood of trade inside the town, and those who reside outside of its walls. Trade deals fall upon your shoulders to negotiate with those around the town, so ensure you never give more than you've got. Of course, selling the town is the worst thing you could do, so it should go without saying that you can't do that. Negotiate with the traders of the wastes, extort them for the shirt on their back, or set them up for life, it's up to you to decide. Just don't lose your head.

The bare minimum:
 * Run the shop

City Security
You report directly to the Marshal and indirectly to the Alderman, High Marshals and Overseer. Day or night, you watch the walls with diligence. The wastes outside are lawless, but that's not your problem until they drag it with them, inside the outer ring. There, you dispense justice with an iron fist, dragging those that would break laws penned by the Overseers to serve their sentences by any means necessary. The citizens of the inner ring are rarely a concern and should get off lighter than their counterparts in the outer ring.

The bare minimum:
 * Watch the gates
 * Stop known criminals from entering
 * Search, and detain certain suspicious individuals who are reported, witnessed, or have used action/ expressed hostile intentions.
 * Protect, help, and rescue the residents who are in any sort of dangers.
 * Abide by and enforce the laws. No matter what the scenario is.

Roadie
You report to the Merchant. Operate the shop when the Merchant's asleep or just isn't there, push and pull those crates to and from the CASP elevator like your life depends on it (and when your paycheck is based on performance, well, it certainly does). If there are no crates to pick up, head out into the wastes and start scavenging for anything you could sell at an extortionate price.

The bare minimum:
 * Ferry crates back and forth
 * Run the shop when there isn't a Merchant

Researcher
You report directly to the Alderman. Doctor, Scientist, Roboticist, each of you under the Vault's employ stands under the title of Researcher. The Vault's servers are regularly wiped by some glitch in the system, and it's down to the Scientists to restore these data files. To be a Roboticist is to uphold a tradition in the Vault that bears itself a marred reputation, so don't lose your head. The Medical Professionals, even those who handle quarantined patients, are the clinical cornerstone of the town, so long as the price is right.

The bare minimum:
 * Use the R&D terminal for research
 * Make meds
 * Print Auto-Surgeons

Preacher
You report directly to the Alderman and indirectly to the Overseer and the Deus Ex Machina. You hear It's myriad demands and must work to fulfil them, by any means necessary. The more you convert to join the Hoistway, the more who serve Its divine will, the easier these tasks will be. The spiritual health of man, mutant and machine is your priority, for those healthy in mind are those who can greatly serve their betters. And the only one better is It.

The bare minimum:
 * Preach about the Deus Ex Machina
 * Obey Its commands

Innkeeper
You report directly to the Merchant, and indirectly to the Alderman. Yours is a simple life, pouring pints and renting rooms out for the masses. Those hungry mouths are buying food somewhere, and it's your job to fill them with whatever food you can prepare. It's a simple life, but a rewarding one. Ownership means you have the legal rulings over your area of operations, what has been told by you for the visitors. What goes within the walls of the bar is subject to your rulings, so long as it coincides with laws and rulings made by officials and the Security forces.

The bare minimum:
 * Tend the bar and the operation area. Attempt to try and keep the Inn/hotel busy!
 * Keep the bar clean, freshened, and dazzling. Bring your ideas of the bar to reality for that time.
 * Rent out rooms to the people of the wasteland.

The Citizen Roles
You report to the Alderman and are held accountable by the Security teams. You may lead any one of many different lifestyles, each one vastly different to the last. As such, you're on the payroll of anyone who hires you. Or, you're striking out on your own in our concrete jungle, making a name for yourself and your business within our walls. Perhaps you're a refugee from some faraway location, on the run from a threat unknown, or a settler from some far off town, setting out for a fresh start.

The bare minimum:
 * Don't associate with criminals, conspirators, and harmful foreign agents.
 * Accommodate for your fellow denizens and buildings if a position is opened, damages/vandalism made to the town or if a cry for help sounds out. Be a part of the societal structure of your home.
 * Given the rights inside the city, follow the laws of the city. This includes the ruling of the resident’s home.
