The General Idea

As a Fallout wiki, it is our duty as editors to include any and all information/canon found within the Fallout universe. So what I would like to propose is the addition of a new category for those characters and factions that are recognized as 'Pure Humans' throughout the current (And possibly future.) Fallout titles. Why should we add in this new category? Because those that are recognized as 'Pure Humans' contribute a large part of the Fallout lore. (Even if what makes a human 'Pure' is left up to interpretation in reality.) ^Skål!

Who Would Fit Into this Category?

This list is only used as an example. Be aware that not every pure human will be necessarily noted in this case.

• The Enclave
• Certain BoS members
• Vault dwellers
• Marie (The Pitt)
• Pure Bred Super Mutants (Up for debate. But technically, the pure strain of super mutants could only be created using humans that had not been affected by any level of radiation. And technically as well, super mutants are still humans.)

Conclusion

So all in all, I believe the 'Pure Human' category should be implemented here, as the whole ideal is an important part of Fallout lore, as well as being a real concept that can be verified upon. (In Fallout, this is what constitutes as a 'Pure Human': A human that is relatively radiation-free and has undergone no form of pre-mature mutation/adaption due to an extended and unprotected stay in the wastelands)

Community Discussion

All feed-back would be greatly appreciated! If there is a general approval of this proposal, a vote will be set up on the 10th of August.

• As much as I remember putting that category, I have to agree with the principal that the Enclave only uses that term to promote themselves. However, I'm not sure if others would agree with the next thing I'm going about to write, but what if the Pure-Human could be simply named as Preserved? No Enclave reference yet it distinguishes the other irradiated humans. Energy X ∞ 16:24, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
  • As I noted earlier, I agree with the principle of a pure strain of humans being up to interpretation. However, the Fallout definition of pure is generalized as being any human that is radiation-free; which is why Vault dwellers - Who have been sheltered from the wasteland and radiation. - are so important to the Enclave and the Master. ^Skål!
• I don't think it's required, especially if non pure humans like Super Mutants are included. Agent c (talk) 16:31, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
  • For the most part, I'd agree with you. However, like I said, what constitutes as 'Pure Humans' is an important part of Fallout lore. And as a Fallout wiki, we should cover everything that involves Fallout lore. Also, I don't think you read my super mutant note properly. I only think that pure strains of super mutants should be noted. Such as Lou. ^Skål!

(←)  Ok, I'm going off track here maybe, but before I came to this wiki and having played Fallout 3 I wasn't even aware there was something like a 'pure human' category. When I heard of it, I made an immediate connection to the Nazi regime and visitors will very likely make the same link. Already for that reason only I'm already not in favor.
