Criminal Origins

Post » Mon Jan 11, 2010 11:15 pm

Plot

Date: October 24th, 2437.
Setting: Miami, 1 day before 'The Incident'.

Ironically, Miami became a peaceful place after the war, and all of the major crimes seemed to stop. Because of the scarcity of essential items, people had become more set on surviving, and helping eachother, rather than involving themselves with pointless violence. There were no raiders, no super mutants, no slavers or Enclave. Occasionally there were a few petty crimes, such as stealing, but the need for violence was rare.

Over 300 years after the bombs dropped, many pre-war machines and items had been re-created. Many cars were now operable, many buildings had been re-made and reinforced, and everyone seemed to be getting along. But that all changed, on October 25th, when the police discovered an unexplainable chain of murders, that sent the city into a downward spiral of chaos and violence.

That's where you come in.

You eventually find a man named Ryan Winchester (My character.), who's looking to put a stop to the chaos. After some time to sort things out, you join forces with him, and search throughout Miami to find the cause of the madness.

Will you survive, or will you fall victim to the mass psychosis?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules and such.

Alright guys here it is, the sign-up thread. I'll provide you with a character sheet, but if you want to make your own, go right ahead. Although I do need you to include some of the things in that are in my character sheet, in yours, if you make one. I'll put an asterisk before the required fields. (Besides the obvious ones...)

----------------------------------------

I would like everyone to read everyone's character sheets. It grants a better understanding.


(Edit out the notifications in parentheses.)

Name:

Age:

Gender/Race:

*Occupation (Job):

*Primary Skills (Maximum is now 4, but that doesn't mean your only good at 4 things. You do not have to only use Fallout skills, but don't be too specific, like saying "Running on red walls at night". You get what i'm saying.):

Appearance:
-Facial Features & Hair:
-Eyes:
-Build (Athletic, slender etc. Include height):

Clothing/Armor (No power armor, average clothing is preferred. Example: Sweatshirt cargo pants and some sneakers etc.):

Weapons: (No super powerful weapons, use simple ones like handguns and hunting rifles. I'll tell you if they're suitable or not. P.S. Use the environment as your weapon.)

Misc Items/Food & Drink:

Medical Items:

Personality:

Bio (Don't have your entire family brutally slaughtered when you were young.):

-----------------------------------------------------------

Rules.

1. You must have exceptional grammar. As in; begin each sentence with a space and a capital letter, space after using punctuation, do your best to spell correctly, don't allow paragraphs to become to large (Double space and start a new paragraph.), and I would prefer that you seperate your dialogue from your paragraphs. Example:

Jack ran into the sewer and met up with Carl.

"I think I lost them..." Jack said, gasping for air.

"Alright, lets go." Carl replied, as began to walk away, motioning for jack to follow.

End example. Yeah, I know, alot for one rule right? Don't worry, they'll get shorter.


2. No godmodding. Don't walk over to a pack of psycho killers, and say you killed every one of them with out any help, and with your barehands.

3. Do not control the story. This is not your rp, don't create a bunch of main events, or create an ending, etc.

4. Don't kill another user without their permission. Simple enough?

5. Keep the OOC to a minimum. If you have any questions, don't wait until the Rp thread to ask them, post them here.

6. The Golden Rule: Have fun!

----------------------------------------------------

I'll post this awhile, then i'll start making my character sheet, so you guys can have some time to read this over and create your character.

No matter how much he tries to hide it though, his brother can tell all he wants is someone to fight again.

Name: Leo Wilkinson

Age: 18

Gender/Race: Male, Caucasian

*Occupation (Job): Police Officer (just applied)

*Primary Skills: Athletics, Small Guns, Hand to Hand and Driving

Appearance
-Facial Features & Hair: Brown hair which is flat because of wearing hat. Stubble on chin, young looking face with dimples when smiling.
-Eyes: Blue with a nice glint when smiling.
-Build: Broad shoulders, chest stuck out. Athletic look. Below average height however.

Clothing/Armor: Police Uniform (you know, the black shirt with the hat and trousers =P)

Weapons: Police Baton. Pistol which he will only use in life or death situations

Misc Items/Food & Drink: Cross necklace. Water bottle.

Medical Items: 5 Stimpacks

Personality: Very kind and helpful, likes to make conversation. Isn't the bravest person but will do whatever he can to help. Likes to sing.

Bio: Born into a quiet and comfortable life. Leo's parents loved him to pieces, they thought he was the nicest boy ever. He had a good childhood, never got into trouble. Gets angry rarely. Made friends with everyone and liked to visit people. Got a motorbike for his 17th birthday and learnt how to ride it in a month.
Later on he wanted to serve the community by becoming a police officer. So after two years he enlisted.
But at the worst time ever, a dangerous murderer was on the loose. Although it didn't intimadate him, Leo wanted to help take down this mad man and make the community a safer place. So Leo trained hard to get his accuracy with the gun better. Took a few Karate lessons before he even joined so he was alright with hand to hand or melee too.

Quick question: I'm basing my character around close assault, i.e. forcing hand to hand and disarming, accurate pistol shots. Is it OK to attack weapons based characters and "disarm" them?
