Alaskian Ark Dwellers

History
Late in 2270 a vault known only as The Ark came lose from the ice shelf in to which it was built. Unknown to anyone other than the overseer this was in it's design. The Vault floated across icy rivers, seas aand lakes untill eventually it came to rest in the Alaskian Wasteland. Most of the dwellers, including the overseer and his daughter of the vault had either died as when the vault fell from the shelf or had later been massacred by an insane fellow dweller in a gas mask. The insane dweller had somehow escaped the vault befor it reached it's final resting place and was now lost to the surving dwellers. With no guidence the dwellers went in to a state of panic and some turned on each other. However, before a civil war had broken out the dwellers realised that to survive they would all need each other. For now at least. The elected a new overseer to watch over them and thus, the Alaskian Ark Dwellers were born.

However, after a few years of living in the vault life beccame harsh, since it has come to rest in the frozen Alaskian wasteland all of The Ark's automatic systems had shut down, meaning no food or water. It became clear that the Dwellers would have to hunt for their food in order to survive. The surounding area had a few wolfs and bears, but there was nowhere near enough to feed the whole Ark, whats more the fall from the shelf had also cause many hallways and rooms to vave in and, dispite that may died prior, The Ark was still basically full. Eventually a Comprise was reached, as there was too little food and atleast double the amount of people to realistically survive in The Ark, the overseer ordered that half the vault was to be killed and eaten by the other half.

Naturally many disagreed with this, but everyone was cold and hungry so most were already tearing at each other's throats and gladly welcomed this. All who objected were rounded up and sealed off in a room, while the overseer searched for a way to chose who was to fill the remaining few needed to kill off exactly half of the population. He chose simply to let them all fight it out, other than a chosen few friends, his family and his security team. This way he knew only the strong would survive.

After the last of the 'meat' had been 'taken care of' the Overseer ordered them to be slaughtered. Keeping the meat freash wouldn't be a problem, as the frozen wasteland kept it cool.

Another problem was keeping warm. Although most of The Ark was still warm the wasteland was well below freezing, this iussue was easily fixed. The Dwellers simply wore wolf and bear skin over thier winterized combat amour (a huge supply of weapons and amour had been found in a back room of The Ark.).
