After Brutus and Yulia told their stories, he thought he give his a shot.
"Well, my parents died protecting me. I joined a band of fighters to prove to the world I was worth something. After I seen my comrades die because of me, I wandered the wastelands searching my inner self. After that is when I decided to join the Brotherhood, hoping to become something out of nothing. I dont know how old I am, but Im guessing around 20-21."Delta paused for a moment and said, "Thats about it." He then got quiet and waited for the others to speak.

Huxley waited for a convenient pause, then began. "I remember my parents used to live near the glow...most of my childhood is a blur, but I recall them dropping me off at a ghoul encampment," he pointed off into the distance. "Somewhere to the East, in that direction." He sighed, looking off into the darkness. "After I grew up, I decided to move on and wander. I met many people and traveled all around. I remember moving all the way from California to the mid west and back. When I heard that the brotherhood accepted ghouls, I figured that I could travel and help my kind gain some recognition." Huxley put a hand on his back and groaned, arching back and wincing as a sickening pop shot through the air.
*Edit*
"Sometimes I miss my friends and the regimented organization of the brotherhood is a little constraining..." Huxley turned to his squad mates, then back into the endless wilderness, leaning forward on the tips of his toes, as if drawn to the opaque darkness. "But I know that by joining I must be doing something right."

((So, I was expecting Brutus to reply back by now, but I guess not... Hmm...))
"I am glad you are both with the Brotherhood now," she looked at both of the initiates. "I hope you stick with us and maybe find something to fill any gaps in your life..." she looked off.
"Zaid, did you want to share your story?" Yulia turned to the man.

-My story is going to be kinda long, and it explains a majority of his history. I believe Lifeless was there when my personality split. Blast from the Past was supposed to explain my history.-
Mark was coming from a nearby town where he had gone for a weekly inspection of the town, interviewing people and the such. Mark was veiled in the darkness the only thing that gave him away was the slight glow from the cigaret on his lips. Hearing them all talk Mark decided to make a dramatic enterance, "You all decided to start without me?" he said taking the remains of the cigaret and tossing it onto the ground. Hearing the stories of everyone he decided it was his turn.
"My name is Mark Adam O'brian born on April 12, 2055. I was once a Lt. Commander of the United States Marine Corps. I flew helicopters and assisted with the prelaunch procedures of multiple nuclear silos across the western coast. I was born in Los Angeles California, my mother and father died during or after the war. I was one out of a hundred thousand volenters to under go a cryogenic testing somewhere in the rockies, my memory of the location is gone, maybe for the best." he said taking his helmet off as he came withing the light of the bases lights.
"I can't remember what exactly happened but i do remember how i got the name CFAR and my knowledge of history and mechanics. My mechanics information i received from books and logs left by the engineering team that was supposed to monitor out cryogenic state, i believe i was in a state of some sort... i don't know the next thing i know I've been wandering around the wastelands for two or three years before coming across the brotherhood of steel. I was accepted into the ranks on the west coast, i stayed there for a few months before heading east. i traveled for months through the mountains before coming here to a new brotherhood." he said pretty much wrapping up his life story.
Mark looked at the two initiates that had come to the meeting as well, Mark was hoping that this information would stay between those here, he knew he could trust Yulia and Brutus, but he was worried that the Initiates might talk, "I would prefer that my history stay between those that are here at this moment" he said as seemed a little nervous.

Zaid was abou to tell his story when Mark started telling his so he listened to his story and after Mark finished Zaid took a deep breath and said
"well my story is simple the Brotherhood is all I've ever known my father was one of the early soldiers of the Brotherhood if he was still alive he might have been an elder by now
on one of his assignments with a friend of his he was killed not by the beasts he hunted but it was a shot in his back and when I arrived at the scene his partner was no where to be found and I have been obsessed with avenging my father ever since" taking a moment of pause he sighe and reached behind his back and pulled out a Python Revolver and continued "this was my father's pistol I found it in his hand when he died it still has a few of his own special bullets covered with radscorpion poison
anyway I've set out to find my father's killer but to no avail so by the time I was 18 I did what he has always wanted me to do and I joined the Brotherhood he spent years training me so can join
and I hope that on my missions I would run into my father's killer and settle things once and for all
if you are wondering why I never mentioned my mother it's because I never knew her she died at my birth but my father always said beautiful things about her
because of my obsession I never had a steady relationship
and that's why I like to be alone in my missions
I never relied on my brothers or sisters because I fear that I might burden them
so even when i'm wounded I never tell anyone unless it's serious
I still remember what Mark did to me on my first mission with the brotherhood because I charged head-on at the enemy trenches
I've grown fond of Brutus,Mark, Yulia and several others
and I have something to say to you initiates the secret to tue power is not strength or muscles it's having something to defend and live for I have always seen warriors fighting like giants simply because they have something they love and protect
that's simply my story other than that I love it when poeple depend on me to help them"
and as he finished talking he said in a joking tone "oh and I tried to hit on yulia but failed at it miserably"

Yulia laughed at Zaid. "Yes, I can't say hitting on me will get you very far... besides, Alex and I have an ongoing relationship that I don't feel I need to mar," she smiled and looked to the initiates again. "I'm sure the whole idea of teamwork and relying on us for support has been pounded into you pretty hard, and I'm sure you understand. Or, at least you think you understand. It never really becomes obvious how important it is until you're really in the face of death and one of your teammates is there by your side," her mind wandered off and she looked up to the sky. "Just... never be scared to ask for help, okay? On anything. We're always here for you."

Huxley listened intently to the conversation around him, his hairless brow furrowing when Yulia began to speak. "So, what exactly is it that we are fighting for?" He shambled in front of her, a puzzled look washing over his face. "I haven't been assigned any missions and we could all be looking for lost technology or new civilizations." He paused briefly, then reconsidered his words. "Sorry if I seem impatient, I just feel like there's a lot to be done and we can hardly afford to wait around in our comfortable bases for the world to come to us."

((Okay, I'm not sure how to put this in RP form, but if you really want to get out and do something, then you should TOTALLY make a RP. If you have any good ideas, don't be scared to think them through and toss the idea at Wasted or Ender (whoever is around at the time). Also, for more information you can look at the History of this guild and the Brotherhood in the form and/or on the front page.))
Huxley had brought up a good point, so Yulia smiled. "We are looking for a better future. We think ourselves apart from the other West Brotherhood because they craved power and conquering, but we want to better the world and make technology to help us in that. We aren't driven mad by worshiping it like the Ravers, or any other extremes..." she looks off again. "We do have our own flaws, though. I believe we should be out there doing things, but it isn't always possible... People aren't always willing. I don't know. I..." she stopped and just let out a sigh.

((sorry for not replying guys, things came up this weekend that i didnt have control over, let's just leave it at that.))
Brutus had remainded silent for a long time, letting Yulia answer for him with similar ideas in mind.
"You all raise good questions and points. What are we fighting for? Why do WE have to be the good guys? Why must WE risk our lives for the sometimes thankless and harsh people of this world? I cant answer this question for anyone else but for me, it's because I know it is right. Most mutants donthave the capacity to speak, let a lone develop morals like myself. Dont get me wrong I dont consider myself intelligent, just more so than most mutans. At any rate, I know whats right and wrong. I know what I did years ago in the master's army was wrong, and am happy to know what Im doing now is right. I am a simple soul however and a bit of a gentle giant. As far as life goes I only want good times, good food and good friends, that is when Im not bashing in skulls and ripping people in half."
Another chuckle came from Brutus.
"We do need to be able to work together though and try to work as a team. It's ok to be an individual but it isnt ok to think you can do everything yourself. We must all know our limits and do our best to not over or under estemate ourselves. Both can be lethal in battle and it's not something I will allow. One thing I am tired of, yet understand is the fact that everyone thinks they're the worlds biggest looser, that tey're gonna get everyone else killed. Trust me young ones you will not let us down. We expect certain things from you, but we dont expect you to kill a mutant with a shotgun from four miles away. You willl be give tasks we believe you can accomplish unless you volunteer for something more difficult."
Taking a deep breath Brutus shifted his weight between his legs a few times while thinking.
"Im glad you were able to get here CFAR, fashionably late as always, kidding of course."

Huxley sighed and frowned as Yulia spoke. "Have you ever been to California? You shouldn't speak so lowly of the brotherhood that I once knew." He began to feel up and down his leather armor, shoving his fingers clumsily into the groaning folds and crevasses. Eventually he pulled out a crinkled black and white photograph of several ghouls and a hulking figure in power armor. "That was Paladin Krinsk. I remember just before I started wandering East, he showed up at our encampment and gave us all manner of guns, food, and equipment." He stuffed the photograph back into the folds of his armor. "He said we would need them because raiders were getting more aggressive. The Californian brotherhood is full of honorable folk, they're just spread a little thin."
((Don't worry about it, Lifeless, I'm joining the Raiders in Junktown RP. Huxley just isn't used to sitting around in one place for any extended period of time.))

"Well, speaking of places, have any of you heard of Pennsylvania? Thats where I come from" Delta said. Pulling out a picture of his so called house, he rambled on, "This was my home, more like ruins now. I spent most of my time in there, before the Raiders took it over. Anyway, things are looking better for me since I joined the Brotherhood. Friendship, family, everything that I never had, I have now. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for accepting me."

Yulia looked at Huxley. She flexed her fingers and addressed him.
"Yes, I've been there. Yes, I've known them. I lived the majority of my live near or in California. I knew the Brotherhood there to once be pleasant, but they seem too far gone. There are a few good members of them, people I hope are still trying to better them, but I'm sorry... They would never share there technology with anyone, even if it could make the world more functional, they have no respect for anyone outside of the Brotherhood, hate Mutants, and they disregard any field of study outside of technology," she sighed. "They aren't that much worse than us, but the reason we started a Brotherhood here was in the hopes to help more people than ignore..." Yulia looked off and smiled at Delta.
"I have read about it, before the Great War happened... It was one of the founding states of the United States! Wasn't it? The Raiders are like rats... they move in and make everything a mess and gawww..." she clenched her teeth and her fists. "They are just weak. That's all. Sorry," she looked off.
"I think I should get back to the medical bunker... if that's okay with you, Brutus? If there is anything else, I'm willing to stay."

"I spose you can leave if you want Yulia. I know how you are with crowds. It was nice getting together though. There isnt much fo a need to saty here anymore, I just wasnted everyone to get to know everyone else."
Brutus sighed and looked at the stars again.
"I've been all over the place and have traveled the wastes for a long time. It is possible I have gone to any of these places but im not sure if I have or not. I never stayed in one place long enough to care about it's name. I tend to get fairly antsy heere too. I may have to go and take a walk sometime soon just to feel like my old self again."

"As long as I'm doing something, I feel secure. I spent most of my youth traveling and learning how to hate where I live enough to try and change it..." she turned around. "I'm going to go to my station now, if any of you want to talk or need something, I'm usually free. Don't be scared to drop by," Yulia gave a small smile and wave before she shoved her hands into her pockets and ran for the doors.
