The Rust Queens

Faction Profile: The Rust Queens "The Brotherhood has their steel, the NCR has their laws, and the Legion has their chains. We? We just have a mutual understanding that if you don't take what's yours, someone else will eat you alive." 1. Appearances: The Rust Queens sport a chaotic blend of post-apocalyptic punk, salvaged athletic gear, and makeshift armor. They don’t care for uniformity, but intimidation and utility. -They favor heavily modified leather and spiked shoulder pauldrons. Lower body wear consists of tattered combat shorts and heavy-duty combat boots. -Headgear: The queens wear masks either scrapped or made from bone (especially skulls). Almost all of them have heavily scarred skin from wasteland elements and scrap-metal welding, as well as long messy hair that flows out from their masks and down their shoulders. 1.

They view the NCR, the Brotherhood, and regular settlers as "sheep" waiting to be sheared. They are loud, arrogant, and possess a pitch-black sense of humor born from surviving the worst of the wastes. -Anti-Authority: They absolutely despise any faction trying to bring "civilization" back. To them, the old world died for a reason, and trying to rebuild it is a fool's errand. 1. Wasteland Pastimes: When they aren't raiding caravans or shaking down nearby settlements for tribute, the Queens have a surprisingly vibrant (and violent) culture. -Scrap-Welding Derby: They love modifying vehicles and armor. A favorite pastime is taking old car frames, adding flamethrowers, and pitting them against each other in makeshift
