Built twenty before the Great War, Fortune City was meant to play the role of a second Las Vegas. Built on a large man-made Island a fair ways off the coast of California, Fortune City attracted thousands of gamblers on a daily basis, raking in much cash for those that owned the casinos present. It was a public fact that most of the investment that went into Fortune City was from Walter Michael, a CEO at Robco whom aspired to surpass the works of Mr.House.

Fortune City was completely untouched by the nuclear blast of The Great War, it's population instead being killed off by both, riots, and radiation. With no one to tend to the city's needs, the bridge that connected it to California eventually collapsed.

Five years after Benny took over New Vegas, the NCR seized control of Fortune City. Three years of restoration were attempted, but the farthest the NCR ever got was building a dock on the island, for it suddenly found itself in a four-way war against Caeser's Legion, The Brotherhood of Steel, Benny's Empire, and stray armies of mutants.

Now, Fortune City is nothing more than a super-prison that the NCR profits off of, allowing bets to be placed on the outside concerning the survival of gangs and specific people on the inside. This has brought forth the attention of several mercenaries, whom seek to risk their very lives entertaining people sadistic enough to pay attention to the events of Fortune City in return for a potential amount of wealth. The NCR does nothing to step in, letting the denizens of it's super prison do as they please to one another.

Death awaits any whom enter, but so to does the potential of eternal wealth! Come forth gamblers, and test your skills in the most dangerous place the wasteland has to offer!

For those of you whom have played Arkham City, you will see right off the bat where the idea of this came from. That being said, my concept of Fortune City is not to make it a giant free-for-all arena, but as the intro states, a extremely dangerous zone to live in. Characters are either forced to enter as prisoners, or go in for some other reason.

I have not quite created the layout yet because I want some input from those of you that are interested. I will allow three major factions, not including my own, to be made by you folks. This is part of the reason why I have yet to design the layout of the city, as I wish for it to be something that we all make togethor.

Anyways, comment below on your thoughts, ask any questions, and lets all try to design a RP that we all can enjoy!

Just a small question. How did radiation play a role in killing off the gamblers if the island was completely uneffected from the great war?

Was it radiation that seeped into the water? Or rain? Or air?


I do like that arena thought! Reminds me of death race 2 (not the best movie, but the arena in that movie and rp are similar and sound cool).

The radiation would of blown over to the island very shortly after The Great War. Look at the Chernobyl Incident and you can see a giant cloud of it reached The US at one point. Imagine what an entire world of nuclear explosions could do.

Wow this sounds pretty [censored] awesome.

So, you could be a captured Legion prisoner who fights against other prisoners? Sweet!

How will rp pvp work?

Dice? ?

Anything that the NCR would be able to take hostage and make money off of. Super Mutant, Ghoul, Brotherhood of Steel. As long as there is a good back story to support it, I am all ears.

I imagine any PVP that happens will be worked out between whoever is fighting, the way it always has been. I don't plan for this to be 100% PVP though, don't get the wrong idea. I'll have a little plot going on in the back round that players can go with if they so choose, but I want to see what kind of factions and ideas you folks can toss in before I make anything official.

Well as you may already know, prison gangs and inmates usually hang with their race.

Replace race with faction, and wallah!

Legion remnants. Captures by the NCR, they generally hang out together in their "territory" and dislike outsiders or use them to their advantage. Generally good with melee weapons, if one gets themselves a hand on a pipe, blade, or blunt weapons, it will be a hassle to avoid being whacked or dead.

They do not like drugs, and beat down any ally they catch conversing with ncr soldiers or taking drugs.

They wear their hats to show their "gang" signatures, and if not stripped from their uniform, wear it, but it is usually stinky and falling apart.

I will be controlling several major factions that would more than likely be in the prison if this was actually in a Fallout game. To list

-Legion Prisoners
-NCR Deserters
-Benny's Forces
-Mutant Groups
-Various raider groups

The Brotherhood of Steel would probably not be big enough to hold faction status in the city, considering they are so scarce and very hard to capture. Same applies to The Enclave.

If anyone with a good amount of knowledge wanted to control one of the in-game major groups, I would allow them after doing some checks to make sure they know how the factions operate. That being said, I don't want this to be a "Everyone make a faction and have fun" RP,. and those tend to fail for what I hope is obvious reasons.

I will probably have the character limit be set to three, so players can get a full experience of what goes on in the city.

3 seems like a good idea. That way one of your characters can possibly be disposed of later in the arena, and the other two are up to you.

I'd sign up for this, playing a Legion character sounds fun. But can we have a Brotherhood of Steel character as kind of a loner?

Of course. I would actually expect that from a Brotherhood of Steel, since alot of people in the wasteland hate The Order very much, and vice versa.

Huzzah I'll play myself! Except for the you know, training and killing and all that.

It does sound pretty awesome! I'd give this a go, already got an idea for an NCR soldier if this does start.

But dude, seriously, Batman? Haven't you seen Escape from New York... Bloody Batman, what has my generation come to, lol.

I would sign up for this one too mate. Could be fun to RP a couple of super mutants

Good idea mate. If I joined though, I'd want to have some sort of goal. Will each faction have their own individual agenda's/goals?

I have three-four goals in mind already, and would like to hear any suggestions that you folks have. One of the goals will involve gaining territory for whatever faction you are in, while another is based around scavenging old technology for a certain someone that will go unnamed at this time. Along with the NCR, I have two other antagonist in mind for everybody to fight against (or join with). Finally, there will be the whole "breaking out of prison" thing.

I'm glad to see a fair amount of you interested, especially a few of you familiar faces (though it is a small sub-forum I guess). Feel free to offer any ideas of your own for the city. I'll probably have a deadline for faction creation set to saturday night, so that I can get to work on making a map and we can start sometime next week.If you want to make a faction, post it on here and describe as much about it as you can.

If we have more than three offered, we will find a way to mesh some together, and vote for the rest. Looking forward to hearing your ideas.

Up vote.

Rightyo, out of school for ten days, so I'll start getting the city organized and have a map drawn up by sunday. If nobody puts out ideas for factions, Ill create my own and lay them out with the map as well.

We will probably start the RP on Tuesday or Wednesday, so that people can have enough time to submit their character sheets. If anyone wants to submit some now, feel free to, but I advise waiting until I get some official background put out on sunday.

Last call for factions. Around 8 I am going to take everything we have and get into designing the city. Might even have the backround posted up in the morning.

I am probably going to make another thread for sign ups, since this one was just used to see if people would like the idea or not. That thread will also be our OOC.

I'll still do the super mutant faction mate. If that's ok.

Awe, true to Ceasar.

It's alright if our characters not in a faction right? My guy was going to be like free roam, he'd interact with a lot of the factions but not necessarily be loyal to any of them.

That would be perfect! I was actually thinking of making one myself if no one else suggested any, but was very unsure if I would be able to lead four/five factions all at once (NCR and another of the antagonist are the other two) . Glad to see we had very similiar thoughts.

If there are any questions you have about the city to help make the faction, feel free to ask.


@Long It is very much alright Long. One of my characters are going to be along that line as well.

Good stuff, thanks. Looking forward to it.

If anyone would like to play as the right-hand of the person commanding the NCR in Fortune City, feel free to send in a character sheet. Though the NCR won't directly intervene in the gang-wars, they do have several interest on the island.
