Marooned Mennonites

Description
Forced off of a cozy agrarian world by an unfortunate incident involving the local head of the Amish Mafia, this dwindling family unit decided to hitch a ride on the next shipping freighter to get the hell out of dodge, if you may pardon such harsh language. Annoyed with their chipper attitudes and constant staring, the disgruntled captain of their hauler simply dropped them, the lovestock, and their meager posessions off without a word before jetting back off into space unceremoniously.

Your faction will be a colony.

(( Since one cannot force the trait 'incapable of violence,' for roleplay purposes you should have the majority of your starting folks with this trait. Not all is recommended of course, to represent the one firebrand youth who would at least attempt to protect his or her family unit. The shotgun and bow are primarily intended as hunting devices, but again, it is human nature to want to protect one's kin, even if that goes against your upgringing at times.))

(( Good luck, and godspeed, please let me know what you think :D ))

Haha. I live in the deep south, so the randomly super nice Mennonites who helped us after a storm destroyed our house... big surprise how nice they were. They were surprised we weren't used to Christians being kind. If all Christians were like that... That'd be great. :)

Anyway, I don't know if I will use it, but if I do, I'll let you know ^^
I'm glad I stumbled across it because it make me giggle. :)

I sincerely appreciate that! this was more or less something that started as a joke, but playing the game as a 'pacifist' is more or less impossible. As such it's mostly there for roleplay purposes, though I imagine it's possible if you say like, let newcomers do the violence or what not. If you do try it, please rate it! I'd love to see other people's stories. I'm definitely gay and non christian too, lol, so no worries there :D

This... is well put together. Stumbled across it by accident and I read it... really well done.
I'm not using it, but rate up because well done!
Met some Mennonites from Pensylvania once... nicest people I ever met and didn't change how they treated me for being gay and non-Christian.

Ironically I started and shortly after I began playing another mod I had activated, a hoard of bloodthirsty chickens came through and tore everyone apart with their beaks.
