WSG/Chapter 4 - Super mutants
From Create Your Own Story
Faction: Super mutant. Also known as super mutants, super-mutant, supermutant and mutants
Social structure: Tribal with hierarchy (Please see expanded notes)
Society:
Super Mutant society varies depending on location.
Super mutants can be divided into three generations:
Generation 1 - Generation 1 super mutants have two sub groups: West Coast Super Mutants and Night-Kin West Coast Super Mutants
The Generation 1 West Coast super mutants are the most intelligent of the supermutants, and normally form the leadership of most supermutant groups. While there are super mutant communities, normally mostly generation 1 super mutants, many of the super mutants in the wasteland will be tribal. These normally act as the tribal leaders.
Generation 1 Night-Kin West Coast Super Mutants, while intelligent, have suffered mental damages from constant use of Stealth Boys. All have varying degrees of schizophrenia and are hostile to all non-super mutant creatures. They are often found either living alone, or in small groups, either with other Night-Kins, or with feral ghouls. Some can be found in super mutant communities, but are rarely found in super mutant tribes.
Generation 2 West Coast Super Mutants are super mutants converted from wastelanders, rather than those converted from the vault dwellers. The radiation impacts resulted in more brutish, less intelligent super mutants. These super mutants act as the common tribal members, under the leadership of the generation 1 super mutants, or act as the common laborers in non-slave controlling super mutant communities.
Generation 3 Vault 87 East Coast Super Mutants so not have any real society. They live similar to feral animals, killing and eating anything that is not them. While they do travel in groups, the groups could be more accurately described as packs. No real society has ever been observed among these super mutants.
Warning for wastelanders: Super mutants appear to enjoy eating non-mutated humans. They have not been observed to eat feral and non-feral ghouls. Caution: sometimes they do not bother to kill the victim before consuming.
Special warning for female wastelanders: While females need to worry about being eaten like all other wastelanders, they are also prone to sexual assault. It is unknown why super mutants sexually assault their female captives, since it is believed that they are sterile and asexual. If pregnancy has resulted from any copulation between a human female and super mutant, it has never been documented and has no viable confirmation from a credible source. At this time it is believed it is not possible for pregnancy to occur in assault victims. Many female victims of sexual assault do not survive the assault. Super mutants have been known to kill their victims during the act of copulation or during the act of climax in often brutal ways. Some victims have survived, but were maimed during the act. Others have survived with little physical damage. All female captives that have been rescued have undergone some level of sexual assault. Please use caution when near any super mutant inhabited area, as more than your life can be at stake.
Special note for male wastelanders: While it has been unconfirmed by reliable witnesses to date, it is also rumored that male captives have been the victims of sexual assault by super mutants. True or not, please remember that like all wastelanders, super mutants rarely leave captives alive for long, as they normally consume them before escape or rescue can be attempted.
