Followers of the Apocalypse

Overview:
The Followers of the Apocalypse, Followers for short, have come to the area known as YUMA to do as they always have. Provide anyone and everyone with medicine, knowledge, and in some cases, even technology. They are not a militaristic unit, they are not here for the purposes of trying to take over more land. They are simply here to help those in need. In doing so, they will also collect donations and additional funds by selling medicine. Yes, the followers are a non profit organization that tries to give away as much as it can, to teach as many people as they could for free. However, they are not blind to human nature, and they are not blind to how the world works around them. As such, they will still sell things that are not mandatory.

Guidelines:
In general as a follower, you have followed close to the teachings of humanitarianism, and a disdain for conflict that similar to pacifism, but not quite. In any and all causes, violence is a very much last ditch effort, and should only be used to protect ones self. But yes, that does mean that the followers, even the doctors, are not strictly pacifists. Especially the guards, who are mostly hired mercs, the things they can do are a bit more loose, as they do not need to take the Hippocratic oath. In either cases, protect yourselves, protect your fellow doctors, and keep the waste land healthy.

Roles:
Although it doesn't seem like it, the followers do indeed have a somewhat loose command structure, as does any hospital and or medical team really. But then again, doctors are not really forced to do the things that an admin asks them to do. However taking certain actions that lead to an admin trying to stretch their authority, should be sign enough that you're doing something a bit on the wrong side.

Follower Admin:
You are basically, the best of the best. You are in your position to oversee any and all followers in the current area. You have gained your position through nothing but skill, through proving your ability to lead, and a deep understanding of the followers philosophy and medical practice. It could be in one specific area of medicine, or a more broad understanding in general. Fact of the matter remains, you know enough to be proficient enough to help the doctors with whatever needs they may come up with, from technological to medical. As an admin, always remember you will be representing the followers more then anyone else, and the doctors under your eye are your responsibility.

Follower Doctor:
You have taken the time to study under another doctor, under a follower Admin, or directly at the university, and now you have become one yourself. You have shown the dedication needed, and the knowledge required, to become a doctor in a field of medicine, and now you are here. As a doctor, you are trained in chemistry to make medicine, but not all doctors will know things or specialize in IT. However, as a doctor you will be asked to follow the Hippocratic Oath. If it needs to be spelled out, you are not to intentionally make anything, or do anything that will lead to direct harm of your patients. In short, if you as a follower, decide to make a chemical bomb or a weapon, expect your status as a doctor to be removed immediately.

Follower guard:
For whatever reason you have been hired, or even volunteered, to protect the followers. You could be a mercenary, you could even be a gang member, the followers are known for working with such parties, as is the case with the Kings in New Vegas who provided the followers with protection in exchange for services. However, always remember that your primary job is to indeed protect the followers, don't take any actions that would lead to hostility towards the faction. That includes being overly hostile to the people that you may, or may not dislike. Even as a guard, you still represent the followers. Now, some extra things that should be said.

Always remember that your job is to protect the followers. You should not be taking any conscious action that would put the hospital in harms way. You should not be taking actions that would put a doctor, in harms way. You are not to valid hunt someone that attacked the followers. keep them away from the vicinity of the hospital if need be, but do not go on a manhunt. It should be very obvious that doing so should leave the followers unguarded, and if you happen to die, you'll be putting the followers in an even worse spot by leaving them borderline defenseless.

Same thing can be said about something like bunker rushing. Your job isn't to go diving into a bunker, unless the resident EMT is checking for bodies to retrieve. Your place is at the hospital, protecting any of the resident medical team.

You are the first and last line of defense for the followers, but do not let this go to your head. Stay calm, stay level, don't rush to lethal. If a situation can be de-escalated, then do so. Remember that lethal should always be a last option.

Follower Volunteer:
So, you don't feel like guarding, and you don't have what it takes to be a doctor yet. So now you have chosen to do... well anything on the miscellaneous side. Whether it be farming or training under one of the current doctors. You don't really have a job specifically, so feel free to help just by asking if anything needs to be currently done. Just remember that even as a volunteer, you represent the followers, so try to not pick any fights.
