Fall of Vietnam


Story

Before the war, America decided to make a vault. This one would only be knoen by certain Vault-Tec committee, and there was to be no record of it. There was a reason America didn’t target Vietnam. After the bombs fell, the residents of the Vault -- codename Vault Red -- would rise up from this secret vault in Vietnam and eradicate all remaining enemies. It’s was called Operation Red Ravager (bad name I know).


You are one of the (hopefully) many Brotherhood of Steel soldiers in the secret unknown vault in Vietnam. Before the war you all were willingly drafted, and you know what’s happening. You were given rations that provided enough for you to survive 5 years after the bombs fell. The only way out the Vault is through the front door, which was sealed and programmed to reopen at its predetermined date, or the ocean. Your story will begin the day of release.

Once opened, your main objective will be to finish of all Jingwei forces, or Scrappers, and find and kill Jingwei if he isn’t already dead. There is no scheduled evacuation for you, and you have no idea that won’t be getting picked up, ever.

Name: Oliver Reeves

Age: 24

Physical Appearance: 5'10, tan skin, black short hair, fast for his size, as his legs are long and relatively thin. No scars besides a bullet wound.

Classification: Recon/Scout

Brief History: Oliver was born to a middle-class Seattle family. He always had a love for the army, but never quite got along with his parent. His father especially, didn't get along with him. In fact one day, they got into an argument and Oliver's father shot him in the torso with a pistol. After leaving the hospital, he and his mother moved to California, where he became an army soldier at age nineteen. Once he heard about a secret agency called the Brotherhood of Steel and their operation, he left to Vietnam.

Vault life was hard to adjust to at first, but he soon adjusted to the dim lights and bland food rations. Now that the door is about to open, he's both excited and nervous to finally do what he had came there to do. He has high hopes of making it back to America so he could see his mother again.

OOC: Nice rp, I guess ill join. (Wasn't the BOS formed after the great war?)

If you need help with names I will give you one. The Red Ravages sound awfully close to my fictional group the Red Savages. lol.

Jackie's folks were killed in the explosion and Jackie had to leave on his own. Eventually Omerta found him but things wasn't going so well for him there. Then, the Enclave came and tortured him for being kin to a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. Jackie retaliated and pretty soon he had nowhere else to go to but Nam. That is why he enrolled.

(Sorry for the short bio, but I'm not feeling very creative ATM)

Race: Caucasian
Classification: Recon

After hearing about what was going on over east, he decided to become useful, and enroll into the military. In his mind, he also believed this would atone for his previous sins. Used to be a simpleton who was very naive but over the years became more harsh, although maintaining a sense of twisted humor. Speaks with a thick southern accent.

Name: Karina Nonna

Brief History: Family members immigrated from Russia when she was just five, they were hoping for a better life. Growing up was rough, her family was poor, but they managed...barely. When fourteen her father died of a stroke, when nineteen her mother hanged herself. With no where else to go, she enlisted in the military. She went into the army, she was treated fairly, but most of them thought she wouldn't do well in combat and tried to keep her out of it.

She proved herself several times, earning their respect. Her outstanding achievements landed her a place in Vietnam as part of the “Brotherhood Of Steel”. She had been waiting five years to be let out of the Vault and she doesn't care whats out there when it opens.

((Tried keep it brief))

I think we should assign a leader as well as a second in command. Who's up. I'm thinking of being a lader, butn thats only if I choose Infantry (I want the classes to be balanced).

And no need to keep the Bio's brief. I read all of them and longer ones are usually juicier.

I'm thinking you should be the leader(I had assumed this since the start) it makes things easier because you are the GM. It could work with somebody else as the leader, but it would be harder, so your the leader. I was thinking I would be second in command, oldest one and all. But by no means does that mean she best suited, so if anyone else would like it, go ahead and say so.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Are we a platoon or company? How will ranks be distributed and what type of divison are We

Well, the answer to that question depends on the amount of people that sign up, doesn't it? So far we're barely more than a Fireteam.

I'll sign up

At the age of 22 he had achieved this and rose to the rank of corporal. When the great war had started he was approached by his CO and given his orders for the mission. Which would see him sent to Vietnam and locked underground.

Despite being raised with western ideals, he was drafted into the Chinese army at a relatively young age. Several years later his parents fled to America to escape the increasingly ruthless communist government. Jun followed and as a result was marked as a traitor by the Chinese military.

The United States, eager to gain someone with insight on their enemy’s methods, quickly enlisted Jun into their own military forces. While he was helping out on the war front, his parents in the states were murdered by Anti-Chinese extremists. It was not long after that Jun was approached by the Brotherhood of Steel for a special mission in Vietnam.

Looks good to me, how many are you waiting for?

Eight people seems like a solid number to start with. It won't be too hectic and I don't think we'll be able to get enough forum posters to be considered an entire platoon.

Eight people sure would have a lot of killing to do, but I guess it worked in Inglourious Basterds:


"We're going to be doing one thing, and one thing only... killing commies."

Eight people is pretty solid. We could RP that there were more but K.I.A or something..

It's like Saving Private Ryan..

Or we could just cover the events of just one fire-team.

Eight people is a good number of people. I'm still figuring out how any one else could joi since we were after all a predetermined squad. Oh, well.

We are now no longer a Fireteam, we are a Squadron, 81st Guerrilla Division, and eight is a solid start. Before I make a new thread however, it just doesn't seem right to have a Recon squad leader, what do you guys think?

We could say there are a few other BoS soldiers who will stay behind in the vault. This leaves room if anyone else wants to join as someone who's catching up to us. If no one else joins, those soldiers could be killed in an ambush.

Although I wouldn't have a problem with a Recon squad leader; squad leaders usually stick as head of their troops and are not running off to scout out their enemies. It's your choice however.

Well re-con will be will be finding the enemy for the infantry with a fair amount of distance between us so they'll need a leader for when we are seperate.

So how about this, we have one leader of the group, me, and a leader for the Infantry for when we separate. I wanted Ytt to be my co-leader but he is also recon so... After we finalize this I will make the actual RP thread.

I wana take role as a leader!

I'm fine with HomicideHomer being the Infantry leader, just need the thumbs up from Zollum and Alex man I guess

*Sigh* I'm OK with HomicideHomer being Infantry leader.
