自从大教堂之子出现后,任何不相信他们幻象的人都消失了。他们说他们是为了和平而来,但我们知道的不一样。妮可

大教堂之子教会(英文名:Children of the Cathedral)是新加州的一个宗教组织,秘密地为主教的变种人邪教同一服务。他们将自己呈现为一个仁慈的宗教运动,并通过提供医疗服务渗透到废土社区,然后利用这些安排来支持主教的军队,并将潜在的皈依者送到大教堂[4] 该组织由墨菲斯管理[Non-game 1]作为同一的公众形象,通过引导人类文化来缓解权力的过渡。[5]

这个名字通常被缩写为大教堂之子大教堂[6]缩写为COC[7]CHOC被用作文件命名约定。[8]

历史[]

大教堂之子的起源存在于一个以墨菲斯为首的末日邪教中,该邪教于2152年被同一军队占领,并承诺为主教的事业服务,形成了大教堂之子的核心。[Non-game 3]

大教堂之子在2156年正式成立,因为主教看到了建立一个仁慈的宗教在废土上传播他的教义的好处,作为倡导者,渗透者,以及同一的第五纵队。传教士们慢慢地散布在废土上,充当着他们的眼睛和耳朵。[Non-game 1]他们的权力基地建立在洛杉磯避難所之上,隐藏了同一在现场的行动。[Non-game 4]虽然墨菲斯因与大墓地开膛手的关系而臭名昭著,但大教堂之子成功地隐藏了他们的出身,躲避了窥探的目光,尤其是天啟追随者[9]

在随后的几年里,大教堂之子会慢慢地在废土社区扩张,建立了诊所和医院。他们为那些需要帮助的人提供的服务很快为他们赢得了体面的声誉,尽管这是一群与众不同的人。[10]唯一对他们的意图持怀疑态度的是天啟追随者,他们观察到那些不一定认同他们理想的人经常消失。[11]

大教堂之子在2162年3月3日被摧毁,因为放逐者暗杀了主教,大教堂被核火吞没。[Non-game 2]幸存的教徒逃离他们的医院,加入了在废土上撤退的同一残余部队。在随后的几年里,一些人逃到了丹恩城,许多人在途中自杀,因为无法忍受他们的领袖去世。[12]

社群[]

我们知道有一个更高的层次,一个人类应该努力达到的辉煌的地方。我们的目标是找到比现在的生活更好、更充实的生活,而不是被困难和冲突所破坏。墨菲斯

大教堂之子的成员们因为对圣火的普遍信仰以及它对治愈土地和人民的无尽追求而团结在一起。通过遵循大教堂的教诲,教徒将能够找到一个更好的,更充实的生活,没有在废土上破坏生存的困难和冲突。[13]

在进入信徒行列之前,新信徒需要花几个星期的时间进行冥想和禁食。或者,一个未来的孩子可以自愿去老人那里做服务工作,包括治疗病人,喂饱饥饿的人,教育年轻人。[14]被接纳的成员被期望保持他们的思想健康和纯洁。为了实现这一目标,大教堂禁止饮酒和吸毒。[15]作为对他们服务和纪律的回报,大教堂将满足他们的所有需求。[16]

当然,就像任何一个强大而有影响力的派系一样,大教堂之子吸引了各种各样的人。一端是该组织的首领,大祭司墨菲斯,他被认为是一个腐败的机会主义者,[Non-game 5]还有许多被大教堂用作士兵的暴徒。[17]大教堂之子还雇佣枪手,为他们提供食宿和现金,以换取他们的保护。[18]不需要相信大教堂的信条。[19]

另一边是像桑代克这样的人,他们是利他主义者,坚信无私的服务和分享。对他们来说,美德本身就是回报。[20]两者都以高效率和专业精神组织起来,将大教堂之子与其他邪教区分开来。他们的医院运转正常[21]

神职人员结构[]

那些希望为大教堂服务的人,在满足上述要求(几周的冥想和禁食或自愿为长老服务)之后,开始了他们的旅程。[14]所有次要的职责统称为助手。[22]

对大教堂忠诚的追随者可以成为侍从。一旦他们的教化完成,他们就会被带到内室,接受毒品注射和酷刑。这个过程是为了把他们的思想推向崩溃的边缘。那些灵魂完好无损的幸存者将被授予适当的等级和紫色长袍作为他们地位的标志。[22]那些没有参加的人被留下来当劳工和士兵,在他们破碎的心灵中填满了大教堂的教义。这些“僵尸”在大教堂周围特别常见。[23]

领头的是内部秩序,由墨菲斯和其他十二位大祭司组成。他们是伟大的黑暗之神的代理人,将他的话语传递给其他教徒,同时也是监督邪教扩张及其日常运作的管理者。[3]他们和他们的代理人也是唯一获准进入大教堂内殿的人。[24][25]大教堂被毁的时候,13位大祭司包括墨菲斯,神父拉舍尔[26]和长老简恩中樞市[27]

教义[]

Trinity Test - 1945

"圣火象征着旧世界的死亡和新世界的开始。它是决定生死的力量。还有什么比这更值得崇拜呢?" --桑代克

另见: Glossary of Children of the Cathedral terms

作为一个宗教,大教堂之子有三个核心教义:

  1. 使地球焦灼的核武器是神圣的,因为它们摧毁了旧世界的邪恶和堕落(详情见美国中國)。[28]通常被描述为正义,[29] 因而他们称呼核武器为圣火,带来旧世界的死亡和新世界的新生。[30]
  2. 人性本身是有缺陷的,这让人类变得恶毒、暴力和愚蠢。这导致了邪恶和贪婪的自我延续,[31]导致了分裂和冲突。[32]
  3. 被冲刷的星球的重生可以通过接受主教(第二次圣火)的全部来完成。跟随他的光,用无私取代自私,[33]净化不忠的人,重生的纽带就会到达,[34][35]让地球重生,让人类繁荣。[36]这将是所有人在一个旗帜下的统一,而不管他们的种族、性别或其他个人特征 - 并把不忠的人从世界上清除。[37]这种同一将把教徒提升到更高的生活水平。[38]

对主教作为圣火或夜神[6]的崇拜是教徒的共同元素,会被用来复仇、保护、宽恕和报复 - 要么是主教的头衔,要么是圣火。教徒的敌人也会以主教的名义被杀,为了信仰,为了坚信"必须用敌人的血来滋养的信念"。[39]

那些在为教徒服务的过程中进步得足够远的人,能够直接学习一些同一将被带入存在的方法: 有价值的仆人会在病毒桶变成超级变种人。虽然流失率很高,但产生的变种人比普通人更大、更强壮、跑得更快 - 最重要的是,远离了在普通人中造成如此多冲突和痛苦的恶习。[40]

超级变种人被其他教徒视为神,[41]并被大教堂接纳为那些不分享信仰的局外人。[42]

屍鬼在教徒的教义中占有特殊的地位。他们被认为是神圣的,因为他们的残缺不全为过去的人在现在的罪恶作了见证。[43]

教义的多样性[]

大教堂在解释其核心原则方面给予了很大的自由,大多数大祭司根据核心原则发展自己的教义。

墨菲斯[]

FO01 NPC Morpheus N

"同一是我们对更高层次生活的追求,是我们与同胞的统一。" --神父墨菲斯

墨菲斯的布道集中在大教堂之子作为进化的使者角色以及土地及其人民的治疗师,强调寻求统一:追求没有困难和冲突的更高层次的生活,与人类同胞和超级变种人的统一。[44][45]

所有教众的终极目标,都是通过践行主教的愿望,使這種统一存在,随后实现地球上的和平。[46]


简恩[]

其他大祭司在他们的教义中代表了一种更实际的方法。长老简恩中樞市医院的负责人,回应了墨菲斯的教义,同时提供了一条通往更高生命的具体道路。通过为子孙后代工作,重建地球,使其成为一个更美好的地方,可以获得满足和实现的生活。[47]

面对逆境的毅力是关键。简恩认为,教徒可以通过坚持和努力完成任何事情 - 如果需要的话,可以动用军事力量。虽然和平解决是可取的,使其他人在没有暴力的情况下加入,但那些抵抗的人将受到旨在摧毁他们的激进十字军东进,这是大教堂之子事业的障碍。[48]

拉舍尔[]

另一方面,神父拉舍尔更关注个人发展,而不是服务。变异不是因素: 每个人的出生都是父母DNA的突变,每个人都是突变体: 重要的是,他们被引导在一条道德和富有成效的道路上。[49]道德的进步可以通过痛苦来实现,痛苦是宇宙中最具启发性的力量。这些忠实的信徒将被打碎,然后重新塑造成主教旨意的工具。[50]忍受痛苦可以净化心灵,防止颓废和安逸,促进在恶劣的废土上生存所必需的进化。[51]那些死于痛苦的人是必要的牺牲。[52]

拉舍尔的哲学并不专注于简单地忍受身体上的痛苦。正义也是通过斗争、创伤和恢复而获得的,直到一个人毫不犹豫地接受了主教的真理。[53]达到这种境界的奖赏是奉献。在那之上是洗礼,终极的荣誉,通过忍受痛苦、获得智慧和履行服务来完善自己: 痛苦是知识,智慧是服从,服务是勇气。最后,拒绝了毁灭人类的光,并向所有人平等的黑暗承诺自己。[54]

功利主义[]

Flower

一朵统一玫瑰,它的颜色代表圣火、和平与和谐。[55]

除了极端的和平主义、好战主义和通过苦难获得启蒙之外,大教堂内也有温和的立场。维奥拉修女是一位哲学家,她提出了功利主义哲学。她认为天启是既成事实,是一个堕落、分裂的世界拒绝和平与团结的结果。她相信大教堂之子是唯一可行的选择,在一个被孤立的、冲突的派系分割的新加州中创造一个统一的世界。这是一个从事实中得出的结论:追随者和兄弟会满足于袖手旁观,中枢市充满了寡头斗争,而大墓地则是一片被部落团伙撕成碎片的废墟。[32]

她对冒险家和当地民兵铲除怪物和强盗的努力表示赞赏,她认为有必要进行更大规模的协同努力。大教堂之子将给混乱的废土带来秩序,确保它的生存,防止怪物再次伤害人类。他们会清除人类心中的自私,同样的疯狂驱使人类释放自己的天启,允许所有人为共同利益而工作。[33]

有能力的人会被提升到可以帮助社区的职位,[56]作为一个有序社会的一部分,让所有人都能在最适合自己的角色中脱颖而出: 雄蜂,士兵或女王。[57]

如果结果是一个统一的世界,征服废土是必要的牺牲。她认为,尽管它不可避免地会有不完美之处,但它比22世纪放荡的新加州更有可能保持统一,[58]将继续发展成强大的飞地,最终强大到足以重新开始天启。[59]因此,团结是人类免于自我毁灭的必要防御,这与自称英雄不加思索地杀死敌人的行为没有什么不同。[60]

同时,她不相信暴力是合乎道德的。它唯一的理由在于没有更好的方法来实现大教堂的目标。[61]推而广之,主教的行动,在她看来,是统一新加州唯一可行的办法。即使是表面上的种族灭绝,实际上也可能是变相的救赎,特别是如果它的威胁能够确保人民的合作,甚至最终揭示更安全、道德腐蚀更少的方法来实现统一的目标。[62][63]

她哲学的顶点是她所认为的和平的悖论: 任何斗争都要付出代价,最大的斗争必然付出最大的代价。[64]这场斗争是一种义务,对你自己和你的孩子来说,是一种改善你生活的义务。以世界的悲惨状况为借口而放弃这种责任,是怯懦的表现。[65]

外部关系[]

Fo1 Cathedral Front

大教堂的正面,信徒们在其前磨磨蹭蹭。

大教堂之子教会最引人注目的努力是在废土上的聚落建立了医院网络,以通常费用的一小部分在废土上提供希望和一些最好的医疗服务。[66][67] 他们的服务在废土居民中很受欢迎,特别是当他们以低得多的成本达到当地医疗服务的质量时。例如,垃圾城莫彼得医生失去了他所有的生意,因为他自己的商业行为和价格欺诈。[68]

作为一个宗教运动,大教堂之子自然反对其他团体声称类似的哲学或宗教基础。天啟追随者被认为是无知的傻瓜,走的是一条只会给人类同胞带来痛苦和苦难的错误道路。[69]同样的,鋼鐵兄弟會也被认为是误入歧途的,缺乏真正的正义。[70]

与玩家角色的互动[]

  • 这些大教堂之子在整个新加州的医院里都能见到。其中最大的一个位于中樞市,他们取代了赤紅商隊办公室,提供免费治疗和简恩,中枢市行动的负责人,是德克的暗杀目标。
  • 一个较小的诊所是由两个大教堂之子在大墓地运作,提供完整的治疗以换取固定百分比的瓶盖
  • 另一家诊所出现在垃圾城,在莫彼得医生的车库旁边,以极低的价格提供治疗服务。
  • 大教堂之子控制的最重要的位置是大墓地内城区南部。大教堂是其运作的中心,居住着邪教的主要成员: 墨菲斯, 拉舍尔, 医生, 当然,还有洛杉磯避難所主教

科技[]

大教堂之子教会的科技水平各不相同。他们的普通成员通常装备简单的近战武器和盔甲,如长矛皮甲,大多数吟唱者只穿着长袍。野外行动的保镖配发了沙漠之鹰.44手枪作为保护,步枪、炸药和弹药则藏在储藏室里,以备将来征服新加州时使用。[71]然而,他们的医疗技术是先进的,因为他们能够在现场为有需要的人提供各种医疗服务,要求很少甚至没有回报。[72]

那时,大教堂之子享受着高质量的生活。大教堂是运动的中心,是一个干净、完全适合居住的地方,有食物、水和药品,有自己的发电机,工作电源,修复的Mach IV电脑,为该组织的资深成员提供舒适的住所。[73] 此外,夜行者提供的保护是无与伦比的(除了钢铁兄弟会的突击圣骑士),这是由天然的超级变种人耐力,高端武器和提供给大教堂和拱顶守军所有成员的标准发行隱形小子的组合实现的。[74]

登场[]

大教堂之子出现在辐射中,并在辐射圣经中被提及。他们被提到过,他们的一件长袍出现在辐射2中。在辐射:新维加斯的黑山电台的节目中也间接提到了这一点。前成员将出现在范布倫

幕后[]

  • 在最早的13号避难所时间轴中,大教堂被命名为城堡,相应地,邪教被称为城堡之子。
  • 最早的教徒,DumarZack Barstow似乎已经被用作脚本和消息文件系统的测试平台,Dumar的“脚本”文件只是一个未编译的纯文本文件,而Zack两者都有,但脚本文件也有硬编码的对话选项。GENINT.INT文件表明离散命名初始化的想法很快就被放弃了。
  • 在早期的设计中,在城市重新概念化之前,大教堂之子是晒骨场的第五股力量,因为激烈的地盘争夺战而分裂。在开膛手利刃帮之间,被内城区困住,天啟追随者在场边。大教堂之子将被分成几个等级,从初学者开始,然后他们可以成为学者,传播同一的教义,或者由长老领导的文士。[75]
  • 教徒将对追随者发动一场秘密战争,并最终在没有玩家干预的情况下征服他们(可能取决于希瑟]间谍情节的解决方案); 她的文本文件也充满了为翻译人员提供的上下文解释),与新人Ronald, Caroline, Myles, Alisha, Thomas, Gabriel, Charlene, Ekdar, Hopper, 和Radek领导进攻。学者TheslinSlaterauanutEikenkoffSpikavarVaraloneQuinonosZiegliffJonesSmithe出现在追随者的总部偷取情报。[76]
  • 大教堂之子侦察兵和守卫也会出现在晒骨场,对玩家的行动做出反应(如清理开膛手),并将他们引导到Orfeo,一个大教堂之子晒骨场特遣队的高级成员。[77]尽管人们普遍认为奥菲奥是墨菲斯的早期化身,但墨菲斯早在1995年2月就已经有了概念,[78]并且脚本清单都说明他与奥菲奥无关。[79]
  • 超级变种人也将是一支独立的力量,由Uthern领导,包括Thinker Nightkin,超级变种人侦察兵,[80]和普通的超级变种人,他们也会出现在追随者的图书馆里,偷他们的书。有趣的是,这些是低智商的变种人,但仍然被描述为夜行者[81]
最终删减设计
  • 最终设计中也有删减的内容:大教堂之子最初将逐渐在城市中传播他们的影响力,从内城区到沙蔭市建立诊所。所有这些功能都被取消了,只剩下垃圾城的诊所。[82]

辐射圣经

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Fallout Bible 0: "2156 The Master sees advantages in establishing a benevolent "religion," the Children of the Cathedral, and using them as spies in settlements throughout the wastes. Missionaries from the Children of the Cathedral spread slowly across the wasteland, acting as eyes and ears for Morpheus and the Master."
  2. 2.0 2.1 Fallout Bible 0: "2162 March 3 Vault Dweller kicks the Master's ass."
  3. Fallout Bible 0: "2152 As their influence slowly spreads throughout the wastes, the Master finds humans, doomsday cultists, and rather than dip them in the vats, he demands their obedience as spies - their leader is a man named Morpheus, and he pledges his followers to the Master. Morpheus and his cultists form the future core of the Children of the Cathedral."
  4. Fallout Bible 0: "2155-2156 After capturing a caravan of strange-garbed travelers (vault dwellers), Master learns the location of the Boneyard Vault, the future site of the Cathedral. He conquers the inhabitants and sets up operations there, and the human cultists begin to use the Vault as their powerbase. Within the Vault, the Master learns of other Vaults, and realizing their human occupants are ripe for transformation, begins to send out patrols to Vault locations in search of these other Vaults."
  5. Scott Bennie, Fallout Bible 8: "I almost regret not doing more with the Cathedral, but I did my best not to throw in side quests because I thought at that time the player would be pretty much streaking for the endgame and any quests at this point would be more annoying than useful. There's a time for speed bumps, and there's a time when you have to let them cut loose. So the Cathedral's mostly for color. I tried to come up with a few NPCs there who weren't despicable; I thought it'd be more interesting if the cult attracted a few people who weren't stupid and thuggishly evil. That way, they'd contrast better with people like Morpheus (whose dialogue was written before I came on the project) who *was* an opportunistic scumball."
