» Wed Apr 17, 2013 3:47 pm This character will be for my first ever playthrough of the original Fallout game, no spoilers or anything please, who would you choose as your volunteer! I can't decide what kind of character to play, since I've heard that you can actually roleplay and don't just have to take the best combat oriented character you can create! Exciting!
Volunteer #1
'Chief' Miller
Male, 31
I'm sure you've all met the Chief at some point during his rounds. He's pretty much single handedly kept order in this vault for the past decade. He is one of the few dwellers allowed to carry a firearm on a daily basis and certainly the only one amongst our volunteers, although this might not count for much though, no firearm having been discharged inside the vault in living memory! You should take into account the Chief's medical condition before making your decision - he is a cronic insomniac - I've often found him sleeping at his desk in the middle of the day but not nearly as many times as I've found him aimlessly walking his rounds in the early hours of the morning, what effect this will have on his quest outside the vault I could not say. I fear that if the Chief were to leave, the vault may descend into chaos, I can't think of anyone else adequate to fill his position.
Volunteer #2
Aiden
Male, 24
The youngest of our male volunteers. I can't think of any better way to describe Aiden than a downright dirty scoundrel. If anything of yours ever goes missing the first place I would suggest looking for it is underneath Aiden's bunk. Getting Aiden out of the vault may actually be beneficial - the chief and I will have to deal with much fewer headaches for a start - however I wouldn't trust him to ever return with what we need. Sure, he can sneak around pretty good, talk his way out of trouble and as the Chief found out only last month he can handle himself in a punchup, but are we risking too much by sending him on such an important mission?
Volunteer #3
Doc Jacobs
Male, 35
The oldest of our volunteers. The Doc is pretty much our vaults only medical practitioner! In my opinion we can't afford to lose him, what if there were an emergency while he was away? Regardless, as usual, the Doc is complaining of boredom. He insists that if any of the other volunteers left the vault they'd be back within a day to have him stitch up their scraqed knees. To save time, the Doc suggests that he goes himself and stitches himself up along the way. Before making your decision please remember that the doc is a recovering addict (another symptom of his boredom) and I can't help but think his judgement is somewhat imparied due to his delicate state of mind!
Volunteer #4
Mouse
Female, 18
One of our most promising young scientists. Intelligent, charming, punctual and always reliable. Whenever she isn't studying she is helping the Doc with his duties. She may sound like the perfect candidate, but I fear the fragile little thing wouldn't make it 10 feet outside the vault door before she is eaten alive! If she found the vital equipment we need I'm not sure she is even strong enough to carry it back with her. What do you think?
Volunteer #5
Rodriguez
Male, 34
I don't know where we would be without Rodriguez. Ever wondered what keeps the vault power, air and water running? Well, its Rodriguez the maintenance guy. The vault would probably have collapsed around us long ago if it weren't for him. He knows more about the tecnical side of the vault than anyone else and is best qualified to look for the equipment we need and to fit it upon his return. The problem is, he isn't much good at anything else, and I'm sure that is why you've never heard of him before! I'm not sure he has any friends and god only knows what his hobbies are. Before making your decision please take into consideration the fact that if something else breaks down around here while he is out we'll probably have to dig out the manuals!
Volunteer #6
'Snake' Jones
Male, 30
Snake is the reason gambling is banned here in the vault, otherwise he'd be running this place like a king by now. He's also the reason we have a 100% smoke free environment - he long ago hoarded all of our tobacco supply and attempted to sell it off at insane prices. His plan backfired when nobody could afford to buy them and it became apparent that tobacco cravings really *don't* last forever. Now he has thousands of little white paper sticks filling up his bunk and nobody to sell them to. I must point out at that Snake has only volunteered his services on the condition that he be rewarded handsomly upon his return. I'm also afraid that he may even attempt to SELL the needed equipment to us if he should find it, and no doubt for a rather ridiculous price. That said, if there is a deal to be done out there for our survival, he is probably the best man for the job, he certainly has plenty of experience.
Volunteer #7
Big Mack
Male, 28
If beating something to a bloody pulp is required to save our home there is no better man for the job than Mack. I'm afraid to let him out of solitary confinement since it took more than 20 men to get him in there in the first place AND we had to take him by suprise! Lets just hope he doesn't have to converse with anyone along the way, with Mack it's always a case of bash first, ask questions later. I suppose with Mack and his foul temper out of the vault the place will be a lot quieter but the thought of him succeeding and us having to treat this brainless thug as a saviour for the rest of his days is not one I relish.
Volunteer #8
Olivia Madison
Female, 32
Undoubtedly one of the most famous faces in the vault. Olivia is a born leader, she is a tough as nails negotiator and smart enough to match wits with anyone. I'm sure she'll lead the vault someday (sooner rather than later too). I'm just not sure of her ability to handle herself if things get rough out there. She is actually insisting that she undertakes this mission as an official representative of Vault 13 and not just some beggar, scavenger or thief (her choice words used to describe some of the other volunteers). I can't fault her enthusiasm, she has already nagged the Doc into giving her some kind of rudimentary first aid course and I caught her badgering the Chief for some basic firearms training this morning!
