When are we going to start this. (Sorry if I sound to eager)


Obviously it will be started, when I post the actual Rp!? :facepalm: I never rush my Rps.

Name: Ansel Morris
Age: 27
Race: Human, Caucasian
Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'8", 164 lbs. Dark brown hair, almost shoulder length. Brown eyes. A body builder by no means, but has enough muscle to do most physical labor tasks.

Weapons: AA-12 Automatic Shotgun stolen from an unmarked supply truck. Also carries a British Variant 10mm pistol, notably with a 15 round clip and an automatic setting.

Clothes/Armor: A wool long sleeve shirt over a plain dark green shirt. Has put a sheet metal and steel wool lining into his outer layer for small scale protection, but nothing major. Wears a wide brim, brown leather hat, jeans, and black smudged boots. Uses a messenger bag to carry supplies.

Misc: Several cans of pork 'n' beans, as well as various rations taken off of dead Canadian troops. Box magazines and several packages of shotgun shells, as well as 3 clips for his pistol tucked into his belt. Single drum canteen full of water.

Personality: Has sort of a "chameleon" personality. Adapts to situations and changes his personality accordingly. Most likely gained this attribute from being an American living in Britain. Whenever alone to be himself, he is an anolytical bastard reminiscent of an Objectivist.

Bio: Ansel was born in Albany, New York. Moved to England at the age of 8 and adapted very well with the culture. Began to see resentment in his home country's actions, and became more and more patriotic for Britain and its territories. Took up game hunting while living in the countryside and is well adapted in self-sufficiency. Volunteered to guard for a goodwill cause to deliver supplies to stranded Canadians, but was himself stranded there after Americans seized the cargo plane and its supplies. Now helping the resistance to end American rule.

I think this may be the first time I've ever played an Asian character, despite the fact I'm Japanese. I've never noticed that before, but now that I think about it, it is rather odd. Ah whatever.

Name: Isamu Sonoda
Nickname: Isa
Age: 26
Race: Japanese
Gender: Male

Appearance: Isa is moderately tall, standing at 5'9". As he exercises quite regularly, he's very fit, looking just as one would expect. His black hair is longer than most, coming down just past his shoulders, and it curls up just a bit at the back. His brown eyes are rather dull and uninteresting, giving off the impression that he's always bored. He has no mustache, but does have a bit of a rough beard. He has several bullet wounds on his abdomen and chest, testaments to his combat experience prior to joining the Canadians.

Weapons: A small, compact Glock, made to be concealed with three spare clips.

Clothes/Armor: He wears a plain, white, button up shirt and jeans. He keeps the top two buttons, as well as the ones on his cuffs, undone. A pair of white sneakers, and an expensive, gold watch. Isa dislikes wearing armor for several reasons, but mainly because he feels that it's unreliable, and makes people take risks that they shouldn't. Plus he finds most modern armor to be uncomfortable to wear.

Misc: He keeps a sling-bag with him that contains a bit of food and water, as well as an MP3 player with music that he likes to listen to, but not much else.

Personality: Isa is a nice enough guy, always very polite and respectful to those around him. He's very good at gaining information and is well suited to deception and internal warfare. No matter what he may think of a person, he always keeps it to himself, preferring not to cause trouble where it's not needed. He's also incredibly observant, often taking information from conversations and slight movements or habits that most people would ignore.

All that said, when it comes to a fight, Isa is surprisingly vicious. He prefers to draw out the pain of his enemies, often torturing them before finally killing them. He takes a certain amount of pleasure in hearing the screams of someone he loathes, and this unnerves many around him when they see it firsthand. He's extremely intelligent however, and rarely lets that side of him become apparent. He has a near infinite amount of patience, and is willing to wait years for a single plan to come to pass. More than anyone else, he plans for the future and not the present.

Bio: Born in Japan before the invasion by China, Isa was a member of the Kobe sect and part of the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza. He kept a low profile as a member, but nonetheless reached a respectable rank and earned the respect of many of his peers. When the Chinese invaded, the Japanese gave up mostly without a fight, preferring internal resistance to outright warfare. The Americans, facing not only Chinese but also Japanese resistance, backed off. In many respects, the Chinese occupation was a terrible thing, and a great blow to the pride of Japan, but on the other, it also signified the end of many long years of American oppression. The Yakuza were only too happy to cooperate with the Chinese as they quelled resistance in some of the more impudent cities.

However, even as they were aiding the Chinese military, the Yamaguchi-gumi were plotting. They were plotting their own independence and the independence of Japan. They began playing both sides of the conflict, sending information to the Americans while also aiding the Chinese in finding American spies on Japanese soil. It was an elaborate ploy by the Yamaguchi, but as always, they were planning ahead. Even farther ahead than the Americans or Chinese could expect.

Thus, Isa was dispatched to Canada to aid the resistance there in any way he could. While not understanding the point, Isa was only happy to oblige. After saying goodbye to his family, he was wished good luck by the head of the Yamaguchi itself. Filled with pride, he left his home country, willing to do whatever it took to bring pride to his family.

OOC: Jeez, I dunno about this sheet. I started having second thoughts about halfway through, especially the bit about the bio. I can imagine my grandmother ranting about me even mentioning the Yakuza, even if it is a work of fiction. Oh yes, and I have honestly no clue about most of Fallout lore, so if I got something wrong in my history, you'll have to forgive me.

this is the most diverse RP I've ever been in; pre-war, FIGHTING the Americans, different location... I have really high hopes for this one.

Very good then. I think I may sprinkle a bit of Japanese into my character's dialogue as well. Not much, just a word here or there. I suppose you should also imagine my character speaking in a rather thick accent, all things considered.

Sounds good, keep it to a couple of words, and it should work out.

@Stream: Most of my Rps in the past were always diverse. :D

So we have a Canadian (Obviously)
A Russian girl.
An American guy.
And a Japanese guy.

I never knew that Canada was the second melting pot of the world.

We're more of a tossed salad than melting pot. :D

MY character is almost done, Canadian male for those curious.

I was thinking about joining with a Mexican/Asian character... guess I can scrap that, or it'll just get too much o.? I'll reserve a spot for now, even though I know I said I wouldn't join any RPs until I knew a bit more about Fallout lore, but this looks just too promising. Hope I can deliver *bites fingernails*

I have no problem with you joining. As long as you can write a decent paragraph or more, I'll be happy :)

On a different note: I'm beginning to think this story is getting full of players, so what I need from ALL of you, is too keep track of your character, and the situation. With a big group of players, sometimes things get backed up, and the Rp goes down. So if you can keep track of what your character is doing, and the situation around them, this Rp should run smoothly?

Of course. I won't be able to post all that often, but I think the length of them should make up for that. Hopefully. :P

Don't worry, it won't be heavily lore based. I mean the whole idea of the Rp is anti-lore.! There was no resistance group in Canada, and the only sabotage was of the pipeline. So I don't think we can break lore anymore than it has :P

I just realized my character has no defining attributes or skills. Huh... maybe I should've thought that one through.

Your not a soldier, your just an everyday joe sent out to fight Americans. I don't think any rebel group has any good fighting attributes when they start out. So don't worry about it.

Ok, so I have decided, (and wasteland scholar already got me on it. :P) The Rp will start in two locations. Since we do have a large group of players, I will split you up into even groups, as more are sure to still join. Once everyone who is interested has joined, I will post a list of who starts where, and at what time of day it is when they start. It may make it a bit more difficult to remember who's where, but if you do what I asked above, we'll have no problem with keeping the Rp running smooth :D

Sounds good to me. I'm actually not entirely sure how to start my character; whether he should start having already been apart of the resistance, or just now coming into contact with them.
