OOC: I often write in the past tense so it made sense to me at the time. I have re-edited the post

OOC: Great work with the character pics :D When i picked Scalatti, I never even knew that Vito's last name was Scaletta, it was a freak occurance :)

I don''t really imagine Ann as Taylor, becuase Ann's hair is shorter and straight. If anything, Chelsey Staub is an axproximation.

Alexander Scalatti

Alex cautiously opened the old army recruitment center's door. It was eerily quiet inside. [censored] it's dark in here! Alex pulled his pistol up and began to scan the room.

Where is the [censored] switch...wait..is that it? he noticed a small lit switch on the far wall. Thats it! He began to walk every so slowly toward the switch, that would reveal the Vault door.

OOC: They actually do look pretty similar.. Although Taylor is stuck in my head, so now I can't do anything about that. Chelsea looks kinda like her sister. Hair can be cut anyway, so that doesn't matter too much. :P

What do you think about the other pictures? What about the rest of you guys, which actors did you see in each role, or actually base yourselves off of?

OOC: Yeah, I saw that in your previous post. I pictured him to be way more rough and rugged. :P

Edit: He kinda looks like Liam Neeson. Hell, if they made a movie on this RP I would so love to watch it. For the actors alone!

@Holy. Not sure if you saw, but Adams's apperance is based off of Benito Mussolini's. Obviously, he wasn't an actor, and is dead, so Statham would have to do if this were a movie (which'd be brilliant, btw). Perhaps John Doman would fit the bill? http://www.durfee.net/oz/images/Galson4.jpg

OOC: Yep. I saw that. Googled a picture of Mussolini too for good measure. :lol:

The actor you suggest seems to look a lot more like Mussolini than Jason Statham does. However, Statham captures that military officer look more, and seems like he's going to spring into action at any given moment. I know your character isn't exactly like that, but that's the kind of vibe you get out of him. Especially after reading that one post where he's simply content to be out killing "impurities" and not some complicated task or order. That really fit Statham into my head. :P

William

“My friends, we do not come here seeking violence. No, we come here today to instigate a great change in our nation – together, we can spark America’s rebirth; together, we can create a miracle; together, we can achieve greatness.”

The voice rang through the small corridors and at least from where the Gauss Project was standing, it seemed like the voice was a million miles away. William whispered to his lieutenant, "Don't lay down the weapons, I'll try a diplomatic approach."

William spoke loudly, "My men have laid down our weapons, please come in! I would be glad to discuss my...terms."

Adams began to shiver, and not just because of the cold air lingering outside the old vault. He was nervous. If this goes wrong, I’ll be responsible. If the Gauss Project win today, this city will be dead forever and it’ll be because of me. No, the Enclave will not fail; not while I still draw breath. He stood up straight and puffed his chest, trying to get his confidence flowing.

A voice echoed through the halls. "My men have laid down our weapons, please come in! I would be glad to discuss my...terms."

Adams whispered to Haywood and Francis. “All right, you two, stand strong by my flanks. Have your weapons at the ready; this could get real messy, and it’s your job to clean up. Understood?”

“Yes , sir,” they said simultaneously. Adams simply nodded.

He began to stride through the narrow halls, his giant shadow creeping along the cavernous rock, before being interrupted by Captain Butler. Adams closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, supressing the anger swelling up. Is he insane? Bugging me now, of all times!
“Colonel Adams, sir, it’s HQ. The President, he, erm, he demands your attention; something big has turned up ,” the Captain said, stumbling on his words. Adams rolled his eyes, sighing

“Tell the good President I don’t have time for other matters right now – this is our primary objective. Are we clear? Good.” Adams forced his voice down to its lowest; he struggled to hear his own words.

Adams came to a sudden halt, and raised his hand, signalling all other Enclave personnel to do the same. He called out to the Gauss Project.

“We stand just round the corner. We’ve walked far enough; how about you make an effort?” Adams spoke, a hint of smugness in his tone.

OOC: Bleh, I hate short posts. >_<

OOC: Im waiting for either Ramendia or Ant1iv3 to post before I have a go with forwarding Rico Traponi and his sub-plot. I'll do a short one with Frank for now.

BIC:

Don Frank Vercelotti

After what seemed to be an hour, Frank was finally suited up in his sharp business outfit, and strolled out of his suite, leaving his ex-maid, and new personal concubine Amelia laying on the bed, dressed in her bare minimums, covering herself in the soft silk sheets.

Damn, that girl is wild. Frank grinned to himself as he left the suite and entered his office. They had been making vigorous love for the past hour, and once they had finally finished, Frank felt much less stressed than before, like a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He felt genuinely happy for a change.

Taking a seat in his plush office chair, Frank pressed on his radio to call one of his men. The one that he had dispatched down over to the Jersey shore docks. He had been waiting quiet some time for a status update and hadn't received any recently. He was almost sure that the man had run into trouble of some sort, but didn't want to distract him with a call.

If I send in anyone else, I'll only be risking their life too. Especially now that the Enclave are out there, heck. Anything could happen. Frank thought bitterly, twirling a fresh cigar between his fingers as he sat there. The happy sensations he had been experiencing minutes earlier were a far cry from his current state. He was thrust back into the tension that comes with being in the position of the Don.

Such a position wasn't made for just anyone, and the benefits came with their price. It's just business. he mused grimly.

Justin stared over the city through his window, watching as people were moving into the old buildings of Arcadia, shops would soon open, then residencies. His terms for living in the city would be fair.10 caps a week for living in Arcadia, 50 for living in the hotel, and a 5 cap 'electricity tax'. He set aside the finest guest suites. One for this 'Colonel Adams' and the other for the expected two troops. in each room he set a bottle of chilled wine and a glass for each. A cigar and Pre-War newspaper were also set in the Colonels room. Now he simply waited to for a message of an arriving vertibird.He hoped this would go as he planned. He knew the Enclave seldom played fair with outsiders, but if you wet their lips enough, they'd be your best friend, and this was exactly what he wanted to do. This 'Colonel Adams' sounded like a rational and more diplomatic man than the President, based on messages he listened to. He looked down at the street, seeing a group of children playing in an old playground, his heart pumping worriedly, hoping he was making the right call.

OOC: I guess that I will break the tension.

Alexander Scalatti

Alex knew that the GP was in the building, and now he knew for sure. Adams was communicating with them. As far as Alex could tell, they were all holed up in the office.

"Idiots!" Alex muttered to himself. Alex walked toward Adams and whispered into Adam's ear. "Distract them, lemme open the vault door."

Alex inched slowly trying not to attract attention. Ha, those [censored]s did'nt even know where the switch was! They tried to burn open the floor! He reached the switch and opened its keyboard. He typed in a very short passcode that he never told anyone. Suddenly, part of the floor opened up and some stairs were revealed.

Alex ran as fast as he could down the stairs. Right as he went down the stairs, there was some corridors. He followed it as long as it went, right to the vault door.

"Now, for the moment of truth." Alex went over to the vault entrance panel and typed in the passcode.

-Don't-Mess-With-Mr.-Inbetween.

An alarm sounded.

OOC: I'm thinking of something like Vault 112 where the recruitment center is there, you push a switch, the thing opens, you go through an underground tunnel and the Vault door is there. So yeah...waiting for another move since I got nothing to do.

OOC: The Gauss Project is near the hidden steel door, cramped up, the APC they took hidden from sight.
William

William heard a steel door be opened and he perked up. "Somebody's here. Take 1/4 of the squad and head in the vault." The medium sized group of soldiers stealthily followed whoever opened the door. Suddenly the alarms went off, startling William and the rest of the squad. He smiled. "Scalatti's here."

He hoped that the 10 people that followed Alex would be able to capture the GECK. William waited to deal with the Enclave squad heading to Vault 109. “We stand just round the corner. We’ve walked far enough; how about you make an effort?”

William gave out a small chuckle. "Why don't you move around the corner. By the way, I have a surprise for you."
He tossed two pulse grenades around the corner hoping that the Enclave soldiers didn't lie about their locations. "If you can hear this, those pulse grenades should have rendered nearly all electronics useless. Just so that we have no trouble."

OOC: If it makes you guys feel any better, I look at this all the time and am still basically current, its just that the past week of my life has been damn near Phenominal. I launched a new business at sixteen about three weeks ago and it has only found positive people and organizations since. At sixteen I attended a youth commision meeting that was AMAZING and I met AMAZING people, but my mom is upset with me. Nonetheless, this will prob be a post by like 6:40 in the morning (U.S.) time.

EDIT: Holy, I'm glad you could pick up the moderating slack, I was getting tired of being [censored] anyway and that break felt good :wink_smile: Also, my is funny because I always wanted Evander to be a badass, but I was actually going for African-American badass like Samuel Jackson/Denzel mix. All the others are spot on besides Al Pacino/Frank who I thought would be more of a pretty boy, like DiCaprio. It was humorous though :thumbsup: Either way, do keep Thomas Jane...he's cool.

OOC: Well, before he became Don, I had that sorta image for him. A pretty-boy like Dicaprio, but when he became Don, you might have noticed that his character changed quite a bit. He's not as much of a carefree wisecrack as he used to be. He's more careful and calculating now. Also in a perpetual state of stress, which brought in the image of http://www.stageandcinema.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/MichaelCorleone.jpg in The Godfather.

Evander Jamison

Evander saw as the girl fell to her knees, now weak and about to keel over. Her apparent wolves broke off, one watching her while the other growled ferociously at him next to the now alert and apprehensive mirelurk.

"Listen buddy, everything is u-under control. You mind your business, we mind ours."

"Well, by business is the safety and sure protection of the citizens of the United States. I'm not shooting anyone, but do you mind telling me why she isn't fishfood yet?"

Evander was puzzled to say the least. He never seen two wild animals and a crustacean so calm near their supposed enemies before. He looked over to Maxwell. "I think we should just continue and let this quagmire remain unsolved."

OOC: So sorry it took so long, my mom was PISSED this morning!

OOC: Don't worry about it mate. We understand. ;)

P.S: It said dark in the character sheet, Ant1iv3, but you never said that Evander was African American.. You mentioned he had a southern accent too, so I assumed he was a heavily tanned southerner. :P

Now in my head Im torn between Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, and Will Smith. Because Denzel came in a post-apocalyptic film before, as well as a father figure. While Evanders personality traits seem more akin to a Samuel L. Jackson character. But he's relatively fit, and pretty bad ass, a lot like Will Smith in I Am Legend... Don't know who to stick with, so he's in a flux for me. :shrug:

BIC:

Rico Traponi

"Well, by business is the safety and sure protection of the citizens of the United States. I'm not shooting anyone, but do you mind telling me why she isn't fishfood yet?" the soldier demanded.

Rico's muscles immediately relaxed, and he lowered his gun instantly, realizing that the armored men were here to help and not harm. Blushing slightly, and stuffing his hands into his pockets, Rico opened his mouth to respond.

"Well to tell ya the truth; I wanted to know the very same thing myself" he said, looking down at the wreck that was the woman now identified as Lyn. "But we're okay, trust me" the mafiosi chuckled lightly, standing next to the woman, and leaning over slightly, in attempt to show her that everything was okay. "Mind explaining what's going on by the way?" Rico asked the armored man casually. "Why all armored up, something big going down?"

Lyn Grave

Lyn was still sobbing, with less intensity now. The initial shock had worn off, and Lyn needed a bit of time to regain her composure. She got back on her feet, slowly and unsteadily. It can't be possible that they are in contact with the Brotherhood back home...They are too far apart. I have to tell them what is going on...I can't have them hurt my friends...

"Th-these animals are my friends. They won't hurt you, as long as you don't hurt them, and the reason for that is because...I'm a beast lord." She hesitated before revealing what she was, knowing that the Brotherhood back home killed them, and have a grudge against them to this day. Lyn hung her head down, expecting a violent response from the brotherhood members.

Rico Traponi

Rico raised his brow when the hapless woman raised to speak.

"Th-these animals are my friends. They won't hurt you, as long as you don't hurt them, and the reason for that is because...I'm a beast lord."

This chick has had way too many chems lately. Rico thought, rolling his eyes and shrugging off the seemingly ridiculous statement. But then he began to contemplate deeper on the matter, as he stood there, hands in pockets, looking into the air thoughtfully. Wait a second, she might not be screwing around here. These creatures seem to be docile around her; no ordinary person can be around things like these without getting their heads ripped to shreds. he mused silently.

"I think I'll let you explain that bit to the Don yourself" Rico chuckled, picturing the look on his face when he gets a load of what the woman was going to say to explain the animals' behavior. Priceless. he grinned in amusemant.
