War. War never changes.
Following the total atomic annihilation of the great war, the remnants of humanity engage in a worldwide struggle for survival, those that survived did so in huge underground vaults. Sealed away from the radiation and terrors of the wasteland, these vaults were able to sustain their dwellers for months or even years to come. Upon hearing the all clear signal from vault-tec, the vaults would be instructed to open, as the world would be deemed safe to inhabit.

But the all clear never came.

One of those vaults still exists today, a bunch of misfits all riled together and thrown into a separate vault. This vault is lead by the leader and reaper, Ridgedog. And the rest of the vault is full of misfits, rebels, and... generally people that don't really know what they're doing. The government decided that this vault be miles from civilization, Ridge himself, thrown from vault-tec, still watches over the vault he's been left in charge of. The vault that was planned to be destroyed by now. The vault that shouldn't be.

------------

Vault - Floor 04 - 1:00 PM

Ridge stepped up from the staircase, coming up from the basement. His walk was purposeful, his stride long but slow, taking in the details of the vault around him. His arms, brought behind his back and clasped together, showing his authority in the vault. He was checking up on everything.
He walked past a certain door, and just as he stepped past, the entire door flew from its alcove, slamming into the wall across from it with a loud THUD. The sound of metal crashing against metal rung down the corridor. The reaper stopped for a second, and uttered a single word to himself.
"Duncan."
He continued walking a few steps, when Xephos flew from the open hole where the door used to be, flying into the wall and falling onto the top of the door, yelling as he went.
Ridgedog turned, to see Honeydew, the janitor, standing over - well, as best he could, being as small as he was - his space friend. "How am I supposed to clean this up?!" he yelled. Lalna, the scientist, then came into the doorway, laughing and resting against the wall to keep himself up. Xephos also sat up laughing, getting a whack round the head from Honeydew. Ridgedog rolled his eyes, and continued walking.
Hannah, one of the group known as 'derps', which was lead by the fox tailed girl, came from inside the computer specializing room, holding a clipboard in her hands. She walked past, saying hi to the reaper as she went, and after a quick check from the reaper as to how the tech in the vault was doing, she walked into the elevator and went up to the 03rd floor.
Ridgedog continued, walking towards Exza's room, but as he turned the corner, he found the fox tailed girl stood there, leaning against the wall and looking at him with a slight smirk. "Heyyyyy Ridge~" she greeted, her tone showing she was in one of 'those' moods. At this point, Dan - another of the derps - and his 'colleague' Gav, turned up, greeting them. Exza then greeted them, before turning back to Ridge and starting to annoy him, like usual. Dan and Gav continued towards the big door, to get it fixed. They were the vault engineers.
Dan looked back, slightly suspicious, before looking down at his arm and typing into his pip-boy. His lizard eyes looked quickly between Ridge and his pip-boy. Exza's own pip-boy, which was decorated with doodles and such, then got a message. She looked down at it, punching in some buttons.
Ridge then looked from the fox tailed girl, to the sound of the elevator, to see Sips (the local jet dealer) and his stupid sidekick, Sjin, coming down the corridor towards them. Sjin was looking crafty, trying to hide behind Sips.
Ridge sighed and walked past, knowing full well where the two were going and who they were going to. He decided not to interfere this time, he was checking up on the vault, and was tired from a raider attack the day before.
The reaper continued, walking past the 'secret' room, hearing a low, hungry growl from the cage beyond, where Lomadia was kept.

Ridgedog continued, walking into the elevator and turning swiftly so that he was facing the corridor, seeing Exza sharing a drink of gin with Lewis and Dan. The lab assistant, Lewis, who also did any spare job available, was always drunk, and most of the time, held a bottle in his hand. Ridge pushed the up button, going up to the third floor.
He walked up a little, turning right and going to the mushroom storage, where Zoeya was working hard. "How is the mushroom production going?" he asked, looking around.
"All good chief!" Zoeya answered cheerily. Teep, the dinosaur, came up to Ridge, getting a stroke on the nose by the reaper, before he turned and walked back out of the room.
He then made his was to the kitchen, to hear Nilesy rambling about various cooking stuff. Not really anything the reaper was interested in. He was used to the Scotsman's rambling by now. He greeted the canteen staff, and then made his way up and across the room to where Martyn and Toby were working, the wires connected from the walls into the blonde haired guys arms to keep his strength up. The hydroponics chamber. He watched from behind the glass to see the forest spirit's hands glow a bright green, and help a sprout grow into a little berry bush. Ridge nodded at them through the glass, and they nodded back.
He then continued, making his way back up the corridor towards the bar. Turning right, he went in to find Matt (another of the derps, and the barman), stood behind the bar 'sampling' his own product. The reaper watched as the tall, beanie wearing boy downed half a bottle of his own drink, before nodding to himself and putting it into a bottle behind the bar. Back there he had pots full of new concoctions of drinks, which he would then test himself. He owned his own micro brewery. To the right of the bar, sat the stage, where Arin and Danny (aka, the 'grumps') were practicing for the entertainment that night.
Ravs, the leader of the bar staff, was pouring out drinks for two of the vault members. Mark, the pink haired, deep voiced guy, who worked in the radio station, and Jack, the Irish guy. "Hey" Mark greeted, turning back to his drink and having a sip. Ridge nodded to him, and then Jack before walking out. The Irish, metal eyed man yelled drunkenly after him, slurring his words. He was known as the 'crazy dweller', due to obvious reasons. He would randomly go around yelling at people. "Come back here you yella' bellied man! I'll take ye! We got the lucka the Irish! Weheeeey!" Ridgedog chose to ignore him. And made his way to the water purification chamber.
Abbi - another derp - and Susy - another grump - were both working hard. The reaper asked how production was going, and other than having to rush a couple of things, it was the all clear from the water station.

He nodded, moving out of the room and to the elevator. When he goes up to the next level, Strippin' came into the lift. Ridgedog went with him to his gym that was to the edge of the large area of living quarters. Strippin' was in charge of the gym, and spent a lot of time in there. They chatted for a couple of minutes, before Ridge wished him a good day and then walked down the corridor towards the nursery, when Kim - the one in charge of the kids and their education - bumped into him. She was taking the kids to class. Ridge walked with her to the classroom, asking about test scores, the estimated of each child's S.P.E.C.I.A.L, etc. When they were done, he turned to the kids, nodded, and walked back out the room as all the kids called after him "Bye Mr. Ridgedog!"

The reaper made his way up to the first floor, spotting the 'tunnel snakes', AKA, Hatfilms. He walked up to them. "Evening gentleman." He greeted, though not in a happy way. He looked at the three, the leader, Smiffy, standing taller than everyone but himself. The second, Ross, the middle man who didn't get too involved with anything in the vault, and always managed to weasel his way out of trouble with Ridge. And the last, Trott. The scrawny bitch of the tunnel snakes group, who did everything the other two said. They all attempted to be 'funny guys', to which Ridge wasn't too happy, and simply walked away.
He walked past and into the security office, where Zylus, Tom Angor, and Rythian were talking about security, and the measures it would take next time to avoid another raider attack. Ridge walked over, asking how everyone was working in the vault and other various questions. After he was satisfied, he made his way to the back of the room and into the armory. After checking that all but one gun was in its place, he made his way back out and spotted the tunnel snakes again, hearing them talking about going to Sips to 'pick up'. He yelled at them, seeing them running towards the lift and going down the levels.
Ridge shook his head, going towards Totalbiscuits room, upon entering he found the man laying in his bed, complaining about life and most things in general. He thought it best to leave the man to his thoughts, and made his way down a rather long corridor to Gamechap and Bertie's room. He didn't have to enter, he could hear the two loud and clear from outside, and thought it best to leave before they came out. He turned and walked back down the corridor, making his way out to the main corridor, and up to the radio station and recording room. He greeted them, asking how transmissions were etc.

He then made his way through the studio to the recording room, when Mark walked in, greeting the reaper. "Hey." the pink haired man said, his kitty tail flicking from side to side. The reaper greeted him back, before walking back out and into the empty corridor. He stood at the top of the corridor, looking out across the level. Before nodding, and walking to the right, down a small corridor to his office, the atrium down below being overlooked. The vault was in good shape. HIS vault. He smiled to himself, and turned, walking back into his office.

Yes the vault was full of misfits, people who didn't belong anywhere else and were cast aside to a vault that was supposed to dwindle away, left to rot by vault-tec, by the world. But it didn't. Ridgedog helped pick those people up off the floor, giving them jobs that matched their strengths, helping to give them a reason to carry on. And through that, the vault grew. It continued, thriving as best it could in the ruined world.
Time would tell if they would survive, if they could bear through and make it to the point where the earth was habitable again. When everyone could have a real home.
The reaper was waiting for that day. The day when he could repay them for the kindness they all had shown him once. And still continued to show him. He just hoped one day he could make it up to them, after all, he was one of those who helped destroy the world. The demigods. And when he refused, stating that he had been helping a small town called 'Tektopia' with various things, he was demoted to a reaper by vault-tec and cast aside.

All he wanted was for one day to make it up to his friends, to the people who lived in the vault with him.
It's what he needed to do.
