You, a novice wastelander, come along a ferry, in the southern area's of the waste. Standing aboard it's dock is a
brown haired man, wearing a old duster and sporting a old fashioned Rifle(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2815/screenshot7721.jpg). He beckons to you; "Hey there wastelandah!, woncha come ova here!"
You tread over, and the man, who introduces himself as Luke Jackson (Survivalist), offers you a deal. "A ride on my ferry to a mysterious place,
Point Lookout!" He says, grinning and taking a swig of something from a jar. "Than, a free riva tour via my spectacular river boat! A safari!
Showen ya all the places worth scavengin and asplorin in this great island! Getting ya ready for the harsh part too!"

You ask the man a price. He points to a sign on your right. " Seven-Hundred Caps" It says.
You agree, and meet the other passengers. What could go wrong?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a serious RP about exploring the wastes of Point Lookout. I doubt it's the first of it's kind, but it shall be fun anyways.
It is serious though. If your not a great writer, I.E. your not fluent with english, then this isn't for you. I will except a max of 5 people aside from myself.

Luke Jackson, your beloved tour guide, will be played by me, as will one of the guests. So yes, I have two characters, to a degree.

------------RULES--------------
*No godmodding. You character should be a Novice wastelander, who isn't a seasoned adventurer.

*No great equipment. Don't have guns that would be hard to get, unless you have a reason for them. None of the following: Armor that isn't leather, or custom and weak. Big-Guns, higher energy weapons than the laser rifle and plasma pistol (which must have GOOD explanations(spelling check on that please?)), Unique/DLC weapons, Hard to obtain items, I.E. a Supersledge.

*Personalize yourself. Have a custom gun, a custom outfit, and a unique personality. Do not godmod with this, or try to be funny.

*Don't make a dorky character. A super intelligent war machine named DAH DESTROYER!!!!1, is not a good character.

*Give yourself flaws. It's fun. Really...

*Don't create a ton of characters willy nilly.

*Don't try to change the plot or forward it a different way. You didn't just find the alien blaster. There is not a giant deathclaw on the horizon. I'm fine if your character is the first to notice something, but don't do this over and over. ---Pointing out swampfolk is fine. If we just killed 3, pointing out more is not.

*Let me direct the plot, and just sit back and play along, doing stuff when it's good. It is a lot more fun and easy to keep up with.

*Be realistic. I don't care if in the game you cant headshot a swamplurk with a chinese pistol. If it can kill it, it should.

*You can't carry everything you find.

*You are not the Lone-Wanderer. This takes place after he was here. You don't have a pipboy. Sorry.

*Please fill out every part of the character template.

*You must be an decent+ writer to be part of this.

*You have to use ammo, so try to count up how many shots you've used.

*Don't always try to be the hero. If you just killed an enemy, stay back and back the person up.

*Bad spelling is allowed if doing it to show speech influents. But don't go overboard.

*Let me lead the story, I'll make time pass, you won't.

*Don't post over an over, let everyone have a chance.

-------------Music-------------

Having done a multitude of RP's, part of the fun is scene description.
I may find certain songs, (From Metal to Instrumental), that can be used with the RP for background music.
If I do, in the RP, there will be a way for the characters to hear it (Jukebox, Radio), so you can listen to it while you type.
It adds more emotion.

But let me do this alright?

-----------Images-------------

I play on XBOX 360, so I cannot take pictures from the game. But, If I find a good one on google, or I can employ you guys
to grab me one, that would be great. This would be for certain locations, and when your making your bio, try to find a picture of your character.
So I know what were going off of.

-----------My Characters------------

Name: Lucas Jackson

Race: Caucasian

Age: 42.

Eyes: Blue

Class: Survivalist

Class Description: Luke grew up in the swamplands of Pointlookout. He knows about the flora, the fauna, and weaponry. But he doesn't know
technology that great, besides how to fix and make a gun.

Clothing: Black Duster, old and weathered, with holes in the sides. Bullet holes.

Appearance: (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2815/screenshot7721.jpg), Luke has Brown hair, shaped up and nicely combed. His face is
clean too. Has brilliant blue eyes. His hands are worn and blistered, and across his left is a burn mark, obviously from a gun. He wears his duster to cover up to his neck and legs,
to protect him from the plants and animals of the swamp. He has waterproof boots, for obvious reasons.

Weapons: A lever-action 32. Rifle. It has a clip of 14, large for it's type. A small sight, made from carved wood. Has a wooden stalk, and a metal barrel melted across the wood.
The handle is made of melted steel. This rifle is in good condition, and is a good shot.

Food/Water: A trunk of water in his fridge on the ship. 20 bags of Chips, 10 packs of Dandy-Boy apples, and a large case full of punga, are also store on his ship.
He has 7 molerat steaks, fresh caught.

Other-Supplies: Map of the river you'll be sailing. 5 frag grenades. On his boat are a variety of 10 frag mines, 3 bottle cap mines, and 30 odd-some bear traps. A small radio on his boat. His shop's stock. 500 32. bullets.

Perks: Swimming and Boating: Can sail and swim great. Speedy Fingers: Can reload all 14 rounds of his gun in 6 seconds. Repair-Man: Can repair guns, traps, and general appliances.

Weaknesses: Left hand is scarred, and he can't move that wrist well. Has torn hamstrings, and can't run very well. He is afraid of dogs, "cuz they ain't done nuthin good for nu-un!"

Personality: Very "nice", but out for himself. Protects his tour guests, but only for repeat buisness. Otherwise kind, and not know it all ish. Probably cause he doesn't...

Backgrounds: Was born on point-lookout, and was raised by the local tribals. He however, learned not to be a "Mud-wrangler" and left the tribe at 14. Spent his life living in the docks, and trapping molerat and other game. Once, a boat pulled up, owned by a man name Jess. Jess payed Luke 25 caps to hold the keys and defend his boat while he was off on the island. Jess passed away sometime during his adventure. Getting tired of waiting, Luke took the boat, and made it his own. Eventually, he found a second, smaller, but still good boat. This became the riverboat. He sailed his bigger boat for a while, until he came to the capital wasteland. He started his tour buisness, selling moonshine, pungafruit, and small arms on the side.

(I am aware that he has a boat and you don't. But he is your tourguide, and is allowed to have more supplies then you, seeing as he has housing.)

Name: Gules Andrews

Race: Caucasian

Age: 23

Eyes: Grey

Class: Ecologist

Class Description: Gules studies the cycles of the remaining fauna/flora. He knows a lot about the cycles and habitats of various animals in the wastes. He also
knows how to use traps and guns, of which he uses his special dartgun mainly.

Clothing: Black fedora, held on the top of his head. He wears a faded tan-grey lab/trench coat. It is called this, because several pockets have been sewn on. He wears
Grey boots, hooking to the legs of his pants, to prevent getting water in his shoes. He must un-hook them to take them off, a process which takes 30 seconds. Under his trench is a black
belted shirt, afixed with leather to protect him minorly from attacks at the chest. (No picture, sorry)

Appearance: Long brown hair, parted in the middle. Grey, intrigued eyes. His hair is pushed down from his hat. He has pale-ish skin.

Weapons: Unique Dart-Gun, made from a 10-mm Chinese Pistol, surgical tubing, two iron rods (melted into the foundation of the gun), and a small plastic tank to hold poison.
This gun fire both crippling poison darts, and poison 10-mm slugs. These rounds can poison the enemy, but the poison must be refilled. He can use Rad-Scorp or Bloatfly poison.

Food/Water: Small box of dried noodles, 6 bottles of pure water, and a bag of dried brahmin jerky.

Other-Supplies: Two refills of his poison, his research book (can find info on Capital Waste Animals in a short time from it), a pencil, and a pre-war camera/devoloping equipment. 30 10-mm slugs.

Perks: Animal Knowledge: Can pinpoint info on animals based on memory. Light Body: Is light, and can balance and run well.

Weaknesses: Not heavy, can get knocked down easy. Has bad reflexes, can't react quickly as some.

Personality: A bit of a Know-it-all, but otherwise polite and refined. Not shy, but not neccesarily loud and outspoken.

Backgrounds: He was raised in Megaton, as a pretty sheltered kid for the wasteland. Not to say he hasn't seen the horrors, but he didn't have
all sorts of hardships. He did work for Moira Brown for a while, and she eventually made him a research assistant at age 17. He worked for her,
gathering information. Eventually he quit to go work as a researcher of animals, prefering that to cleaning and dusting.

He came across the ferry while studying molerat prey drives.

---------------------STORY?--------------------
STOP, make sure you've read my bios.

Our story begins with us all on the boat, eating food Luke has given us free of charge, discussing our backgrounds.

We will start when we have 6 people.



THIS IS THE SIGN UP TOPIC, NOT THE RP!!! SORRY FOR NOT MAKING IT CLEARER

Ehh, it seems a little 'iffy'. Couldn't there be a better plot like a reason to be going there? like maybe they go to find treasure or something.. I don't know. This might not be the best RP.

The El Dorado of the Wastes! That sounds awsome for an RP or FanFic

Yeah, this Rp seems a bit bland and vauge. Maybe something more adventurous with the plot, rather than some stranger coming up and telling you about his boat.

Haha, you made it seem funny like that..

I'll be working on the character, just want to reserve my spot, as it takes a while for me, as I enjoy going into detail.

Name: Kevin Cottonfield (Kevin, for short)

Race: Caucasian

Age: 25

Eyes: Brown

Class: Repairman, Basic Firearms training.

Class Description: Has the well known ability to repair almost anything. High tech equipment is harder for him to work on. And he knows the basics of shooting, so he can defend himself when put into a violent situation.

Clothing: Known for wearing an easy to recognize bright orange sweater, and a pair of ripped tan cargo pants. Oh, and some old tennis shoes. Carries an old rucksack, for carrying.

Appearance: Brown, grown out hair. Think of as short, but grown long hair. Also is rather tall, roughly 5 feet, 11 inches. Slender in physical appearnce, and

Weapons: Cleaned Hunting Rifle with Scope. Holds 5 shots, has currently 4 clips. Also keeps a knife for mostly emergencies.

Food/Water: One bottle of dirty water, and some bubblegum.

Other-Supplies: 3 Mentats, and some repair tools (1 bottle of Wonderglue, some scrap metal, and a screwdriver)

Perks: Bare Essentials - able to fully repair items, as long as there is Wonderglue, scrap metal, and a screwdriver.
Men-tal Rage - When he suffers from Mentat withdrawal, and has no bubblegum, he cannot repair succesfully, and deals extra damage in combat. (Not too much to be uber, but enough to make his knife more helpful in defence.)

Weaknesses: Addiction to Mentats. When he suffers from withdrawal, he cannot repair as good as normal.
Curiosity. Happens to enter that dark scary tunnel despite the warning signs.
Suicidal Charge. Always the first to do something stupid, or not something he should do.
Sympathy. Tends to double check people he shot, and can fall for traps easily. (Similiar to Curiosity)

Personality: Rather outgoing, and willing to start talking to people he doesn't even know at all. If he doesn't get his hands on some Mentats or Bubblegum, he will start to get mad, and doesn't care for helping, unless there is some goodies involved.

Background: Born in an abondoned trailer, by his mother and father. He learned how to repair fairly well, as his dad was friends with Crazy Wolfgang, and tended to give Kevin gifts. Usually junk other wastelanders wouldn't buy. His family lived rather safe, in a small community which centered around a trailer park. The park was fortified and barricaded, to protect themselves from Super Mutants, and Raiders. So, Kevin lived a fairly peaceful life.

When he was 16, he was enforced as a guard for the park, and encountered several raider encounters. He managed to successfully take down the raider attacks thanks to his helpful hunting rifle that his mother gave to him as a gift. He kept on modifying it, and perfecting the weapon. Finally, after three years, he decided to leave the park and travel the wastes, hopefully find his fortune. He gathered a small bunch of caps, and was looking for a change of pace, something out of the Capital Wasteland.

Finally, at 25 years old, he came across Lucas, and was automatically ready to sign up. He paid his 700 caps, and got in. Now, he is waiting, and ready for the adventure of a lifetime.


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

Here it is, and sorry for the double post

Why would a novice wastelander pay 700 caps to a stranger to take him on his boat out on the irradiated water?

Fixed.

Haha, there are some big problems in this RP. But, there are currently no other openings for a interesting RP. There's that Merc War thing, but when the OP said his character had Hellfire Armor and a Plasma Rifle, I just didn't bother. So, anunkownrandomghoul, if you know any RPs I can join, send me a link, and i'll go there instead. Since i'm still a beginner to RPs, I don't want to totally start one from scratch. Yet....

My RP 'Local Obsessions' is one of the very active RP's, but we already started. This guy might've tooken my Point Lookout idea. But I don't know. You can join if you want, but you would have to be a Tribal or Swampfolk.

Huh...

The only problem is I would rather start in a fresh RP, rather than hop in something that's currently in play. So, i'll just wait for something new. Don't forget if you are going to start another later on, try to send me a message.

Don't worry, I have more of a plot then you think.
But I'm not gonna give you that many spoilers yet. Please only post if your going to play.

I didn't mean to take your point lookout idea if I did. This Rp is just on the same island I guess.

The rp won't end at the end of the tour. That's barely the start.

Your character is fine, infact, I like the addiction thing.

I hope the rest of you will play too.

As for the paying a possible rapist 700 caps, isn't that what you do in point lookout anyway?

Also, Novice Wastelanders are looking for adventure, they need to do something.

Alright, good to know, and such.

Any plan on starting soon? Or do you want to wait for 4-5 more people?

Well, sort of, but the guy is an amateur surgeon who takes out bits of people's brains and puts them in a jar as a trophy. There's a difference. Right? Uh, right guys?

We will start when we get 4 more people.

And no, we have no proof the Tobar doesn't [censored] while he's preforming brain surgery.

Do we?

Now that you mention it, every time you start Point Lookout, when Tobar tells you to 'Go To Sleep', once you sleep on the cot it fades to black, but if you turn around quickly, Tobar comes into the room. Then everything goes black. We're all [censored] victims.. :cryvaultboy:

Haha, considering that moustache too he has, we might be able to put him in jail for probable cause of [censored], illegal surgery, and soliciting in unauthorized areas. :shifty:

Hope ya like.

Name: Lincoln Kayne

Race: Caucasian

Age: 28

Eyes: Brown

Class: Tracker

Class Description: Using mainly long ranged rifles but has a knack for the pistol. Great at setting traps and spotting them. Good Survivalist.

Clothing: Baggy army camo pants, combat boots, Military jacket with some old war medals, leather briastplate underneath with metal plates sewn on, leather vambraces, fingerless combat gloves, bandana, sunglasses. A gun belt with a holster, and a satchel for special bullets and caps. Also carries a Russian Spetsnaz military rucksack for loot, ammo, and food he finds.

Appearance: His face has a long scruffy beard, a scar going down the right cheek. His long brown hair is tied in a series of braids so it stays out of his face. His body is rather muscular and has a few scars, and one tattoo of an Eagle clutching two rifles adorns his right shoulder blade. He stand at 6'3"

Weapons: 2 of these, http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/Specialty/Images/Schofield.jpg , 1 of the bottom one, Fires .50 rounds http://cimarron-firearms.com/SingleShotRifles/Images/1885HighWall.jpg

Food/Water: Mirelrk cakes, and some bottled water, along with a flask of whiskey
Other-Supplies: Binoculars, rope, 2 bear traps, and a bag of piano wires.

Perks: Survival, Trapping, Marksmanship, Gunslinger: Proficient with the rifle and pistol. Survival and Trapping are both his ways of making it in the wasteland.

Weaknesses: Women, he cannot resist a beautiful brunette, like Sydney who lives in Underworld.

Personality: A friendly fellow to most, but his rugged appearance marks him as sort of a scary fellow.

Backgrounds: Not much to tell about Lincoln. He was born in a small place called Andale, for years he never knew what was going. But when he realized he was eating humans, he ran away, bringing his Father's guns with him. He met up with some Raiders, captured really. He eventually got away because they were dumb as hell.

When he was 22, he found an old cave near Canterburry Commons and made it his home. But then he was ran out by some crazy woman with Fire Ant pets. Lincoln wandered the wastes for a long time before finally building a small home near Tenpenny Tower, and he's been there ever since. But recently he's heard of a strange Ferry down by Rivet City.

Haha, probably the only victory the Antagonizer ever won.

Sounds like a pretty cool guy. Three more left.

Hah ya, she svcks in the game. But recently I've been getting obsessed with old Civil War and Old west guns, they're awesome and I own a few myself, they're really good shooters too. Anyways, thanks, I hope this'll be a good RP. I love the whole Point Lookout setting, but it does need more of a story to it.

Says the man who made it with Panada.

:hubbahubba:

Haha, I remember that.

What can I say, I like my women like I like my coffee... you figure it out :rofl:
