Brotherhood Hopeful

Brotherhood hopefuls are uninitiated recruits hoping to join the Brotherhood of Steel at Fort Atlas in Appalachia.

Background
Unlike Brotherhood initiates, Brotherhood hopefuls have not officially joined the Brotherhood, and are still hoping to be initiated. Although most commonly found around the exterior of Fort Atlas, they can also be found paired with initiates at points of interest, such as checkpoints on main roads and crashed Vertibirds.
