This looks fun.
! I think I'll give my hand at it.
I'd like to tell you the story of a man. A man called Garrett Neilson. Now, Garrett Neilson once lived in New Reno. He was an avid gambler, sadly, he svcked. After building up a large amount of debt, he turned tail and ran. After hearing some tales about a place called "The Pitt", a city that wasn't destroyed by the bombs, he set off to make a life there. They were lies. After fighting his way through a pack of wild dogs, dodging mines and almost being killed by a sniper, Garrett was enslaved. He was forced to work in the steelworks, until the former Ingot collector was killed. As the outsider, Garrett was volunteered by his new, loving chums for the job. The steelyard was a death trap, filled with weird mutants and crazed people. After a few days of survival, he managed to collect a few ingots, and a few weapons. After turning in his bounty for a new, crappy slave uniform, he found out about a competition and perhaps his ticket out of this dump.
Before entering this arena, though, he decided it would be best to 'train' himself a bit more in the Steelyard. A few more days later, Mr. Neilson was a killing machine, armed with some of the finest weaponry in The Pitt. As he made his way to The Hole, the slaves looked on him in awe. The first fight was easy, a group of poorly armed slaves. Their attacks simply bounced off Garrett's power armour whilst his unique AutoAxe tore through them. The next fight was a bit harder, he was facing two, well armed, slightly mutated and feral men. The first had a flamer which did very little damage to the power armour, however, the second brother had a glove of sorts which managed to penetrate the armour. But, they both fell to a couple of well aimed shots from Wild Bill's .32 caliber pistol (Garrett robbed it, yay). The final fight took awhile, he was fighting Gruber; A former slave who had previously won his freedom and only came back to The Hole due to his bloodthirsty nature. In the end, after a huge dose of radiation and punishment, Garrett prevailed.
He left The Hole and was rewarded with his old equipment. However, most of his old stuff was nothing compared to his new equipment, all apart from his .223 pistol. He set off to meet Ashur, but before he could get there, he was intercepted by a slave called Midea. She informed him of a plan to aquire something for Wernher. He wasn't really listening and vaguely understood what she said. With that spoken, he set off to meet Ashur. When he arrived, he found out this Ashur guy was quite a nice chap. Garrett didn't really like him though, he was expecting a cold, harsh guy. So when he left, what Midea said struck him like a tire-iron. With the help of his .223 pistol, he 'stole' the baby next door and set off to the Steelyard to meet Wernher. He met some resistance, but the Raiders had a pretty poor assortment of guns. He made it there without a hitch, gave Wernher the baby and set off. Garrett didn't like The Pitt much, it was boring, dark and grimy. Besides, he'd heard of a much better place called D.C.
He left, lugging a truck load of items with him. He set off to D.C., meeting a few randomers along the way including a man who tried to hold him up with an empty sawn-off. A couple of 10mm rounds later, he was down. After days of walking, he made it to a little town called 'Megaton', known by that name due to the bomb in the center of it. Using his skill in speech, he managed to convince the Sheriff, Lucas Simms, to cough up a fair amount of cash to disarm the bomb. Neilson knew very little about nukes, but he did know that if he waved a spanner around inside and pulled out some wires the bomb wouldn't work anymore...Or it'd explode. Either way, it was all good, apart from the second choice. Due to a HUGE amount of unexpected luck, Garrett disarmed the bomb, got a house AND plenty of caps; The caps didn't last long though as he spent them ALL on drugs and booze.
Days later, after constant binge drinking and drug abuse (drugs supplied by his good friend,
), he ran out of cash. Again, he ran up a huge debt with a 'powerful' man, this time it was one Colin Moriarty, owner of Moriarty's Saloon. An argument followed, then a gunshot and then a lot of running.
Basically, I killed Moriarty. And due to roleplaying, I can never really go back to Megaton and I left a lot of stuff in my house. But, I'm rolling with the punches, at least I've got my .223 pistol and a few other nice things. At the moment, I'm heading for D.C., not sure where in the city, but Gob mentioned something about 'Underworld' to Garrett, so he'll try and find that. Yay for Garrett.
EDIT: Oh, am I suppose to ask you a question, Kikai? I guess so. Here goes. How did Kane manage to get his hands on 'Sovereign'? Did he make it himself? Find it somewhere? Or a mix of the two (found a funkeh laz0r gun and pimp it out)?
