Accepted

Name: Aiden Park
Age: 28
Race: Asian

Appearance: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1152/33036768.png
Clothing/Armor: The Armour used for appearance. A black trench coat with combat armour on the interior.

Personality: Aiden is a bit friendly but also very intelligent and calculating. He always thinks ahead but also an avid humanist like most Followers and because of this, he doesn't take contract killings, despite his skills are geared towards it.

Bio: Aiden was born just a year after the rise of the Courier to two Followers of the Apocalypse members, a guard and a nurse. Because of this, at a young age, Aiden was taught by his mother and father how to shoot a gun, set traps, hunt, and tend to the wounded. When Aiden turned 18 years of age, he was a decent field medic and a very good shot with a specifically customized Intervention Sniper Rifle.

Later at 20 years old, Aiden acted as both a field medic and sniper for a small caravan. But the bullets and blood wore its welcome and Aiden stayed back with the Followers. There, in the Old Mormon Fort, he found Evelyn Haru, a new Followers of the Apocalypse member. The two quickly became friends and eventually started to date.

But after a failed operation left both Aiden's mother and father dead by one of the Follower's hands, Aiden left with Evelyn from the Old Mormon Fort and the two became owners of the A&E Caravans, a small two Brahmin caravan that has a route from Goodsprings to the New Vegas Strip, circling south. Although they are occasionally harassed by bandits, their guns do well to drive them off. But lack of experience with CQC fighting left both Evelyn and Aiden in a bad situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Evelyn Haru
Age: 27
Race: Asian

Appearance: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/38733-1-1292530551.jpg(The photo in the middle, from Jade Companion)
Clothing/Armour: The duster shown in the picture above. No hat and has a bit of leather underneath the duster.

Personality: Evelyn or just "Evie" is very upbeat about everything. She's very friendly to people who she's just met and has a very positive view on life. Just like Aiden, she's highly intelligent but in more practical things like tracking and hunting rather than science and medicine. Hates killing people, of course she forgets this when bullets are flying around.

Bio: Evelyn was born and raised in a very easy life and good family in New Vegas. Her father was a gambler but very nice and providing to the family while her mother was a bartender to one of the casinos in New Vegas. She never truly knew the bad things about the wasteland, even when her father took her out for Gecko hunting.

But the times at gecko hunting strengthened her already keen sense of tracking and hunting. When she turned 18, Evie headed out to Goodsprings, armed only with a Hunting Rifle and a couple medical kits. She stayed there for a bit and helped getting food and made a bit of money from hunting geckos and selling their hides to leather armour makers.

But many years later, when Evie was 26 years old, she began to want to go back to New Vegas. However, she was shot and severely wounded in Freeside by a couple bums. The Followers brought her to the Fort and treated her wounds. She was very grateful that she joined the Followers of the Apocalypse. At that time, Aiden came back to the Followers and the two became fast friends.

She truly loves Aiden and followed him without thinking twice when he decided to set up a small caravan. Evie has fun there and acts as the navigation expert, and acts as the better of the two when it comes to hunting.

Axepted.

he excels mostly in combat but does odd jobs as well examples being robberies smuggling and others of the like and enjoys a challenge so long as he gets paid or something equivalent like ammo, weapons, training, tech etc

Alright your good!

And the reason I am accepting people with small bio's is because this RP will take course over twenty years, that means that we will be developing our characters a lot.

cool then seems fun

Yep! Just to let everyone know your first post will be you going to the Freeside Warehouse for the meeting, once everyone is there I will post what the guy says for the meeting.

is that going on the sign up or am i missing the actual rp thread

The IC thread will be posted soon, I just making sure everyone knew .

ok got it

Seems like a great premise. Let me know if something needs to be altered or if I'm too late.

Name: Seth Horn

Age: 20

Race: Mixed (African-American/Caucasian)

Appearance: Short cropped hair, light tan skin. Deceivingly kind hazel eyes and grin he often wears when attempting to put others at ease..

Clothing/Armor: Tattered leather armor when scavenging or hunting, Pre-War light gray suit he wears when visiting The Strip. Brotherhood issued T51b power armor he only dawns when heading into particularly hellish jobs.

Personality: Generally the agreeable type, Seth can get along with most reasonable folk. Should he feel his life is threatened, however, he can turn into a genuine bastard. Has been known to smack overly mouthy types.

Bio: Raised in the Brotherhood, Seth does share some of their ideas of preserving technology and a healthy xenophobia toward outsiders. Around age 16 he began to resent the Brotherhoods highly regimented style of living, often imaging what life in the Mojave would be like without their many rules.

While most young recruits go through this phase, very few act on such urges. Seth struck out on his own on his 20th birthday, the very day after earning the title of "Paladin", something practically unheard of. Now a gun-for-hire in a land where extensive combat training is equal to a Harvard education in Pre-War America, Seth has no problem finding folks in need of killing for caps.

Hopefully its not to late

Name: Drake Tanner
Age: 24
Race: Caucasian

Appearance: Blonde to Strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and on the short side, coming in at on 5'7 and a half. Also on the skinny side, very skinny.
Clothing/Armor: Basically rags, and a trench coat worn over top, underneath the rags though is a combat vest.

Personality: He can be harsh and will put others down with ease if they tend to be unagreeable. Generally he is not the violent type but when in fights he has generally been on the losing side most of his life, this has lead him to fight very dirty and be very cruel, he remembers much and is almost never forgiving. Although he is a happy go lucky fellow and can be sometimes incredibly unpredictable to due his mental disorders.

Bio: Lived his childhood life as a street bum, and has managed to spend the last 3 years of his life begging for money after losing every thing on the New Vegas Strip.
His childhood was not a pleasant one, but was by no means the worst childhood, he grew up with a loving mother and an imprisoned father. Left his home at 16, did odd jobs, mercenary work and the crimal side to make by.
He is also mildly (to moderately) Schizophrenic, Minor Dissociative Personality Disorder is also a problem of his.

You're not kiddin!

Name: Eugene Lark
Age: 31/?
Race: White

Appearance:
5'8 Slim with mild muscularity. Covers face often with scarf and wears a trader's hat and reading glasses non-tinted 48 versions. Scarf covering face, trader hat, and reading glasses non-tinted 1948 editions.

Personality:
Mild and self-humorous. Find's that the best entertainment comes with projectiles, and projectile weaponry. Not a tough guy to be confused. He merely has no fear, and with scars to show it.

Bio:
Eugene does not talk about himself often. Others usually trade with him and this leads them to believe he is a trader from up north. Eugene said once that it "was cold up there," where he came from.
Even after the bombs fell." Eugene collects books as a hobby, can usually be found cleaning his special edition reading glasses, and smiling.
