I'm sure many of you know me from New Manhattan, which unfortunately ran its course after 13 threads. I was blessed to be part of it, but like most good things, it ended.

After some thought, I decided to make an RP in a established area. The world of Fallout 1 is captivating and very well done. This is pre-NCR, so raiders control the land. This time period makes for a perfect RP. If you haven't played Fallout 1, I will explain the world later on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBNKa2KXZE This will take place during the time of Fallout 1.

Shortly after the bombs dropped, they left Los Angeles and went north, starting a farm. Alex was born the same farm that his grandparents built. Alex showed great promise, and read all he could on the world before the bombs. In doing so, he became incredibly adapt in repair.

When Alex turned 20, he grew restless on the farm. He grew tired of farming and wanted a better life. One night in 2156, Alex ran away from the farm, carrying only water, some clothes, and several books. On the way, he came across and old pre-war home that was still standing and locked. He kicked open the door and found even more books. He also found a Desert Eagle, three suits, and three fedoras, all of which he still has today.

Alex wandered endlessly for a year, living in old pre-war homes, until one day, he came across a water caravan from the Hub. After fixing the boss' gun, he hired Alex into the caravan on the spot.

Shady Sands: Founded by former residents of Vault 15, it is completely self sufficient. Due to the GECK, they grow their own food.

2. No Ubering.

3. Ask Questions.

qeustion: is this Rp going to be set Before or After (or During) the events of Fallout one ?

Seems pretty fun.
I'll wait out and see where it goes.
Reserve

Slightly before, mostly during, and if this RP is still strong, after.

cool so we might see the Vault dweller during ours travels

will be making a chr sheet soon....

ps.I have played fallout 1 (own fallout 2) so I know most of whats during the games- and what the Vault dweller did (e.g fixed water shed in Necropolis )

Sounds good old man, consider this a reserved post whilst I decide whether or not to take part.

RESERVE ME, GOOD SIR!

Will there be any custom settlements as the Fallout 1 world is severely lacking?

I might permit small camps and towns, but small is the operative word.

(think this is longest CS I have ever done)

Name: Emil Barkley

Age: 26

Appearance: http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af259/Par1ah/smk.jpg

Personality: Kind, gentle, and willing. Mostly opposed to violence but will take action if needed.

Race: Caucasian

Occupation: None, tribal

Residence: Tribal camp in the desert

Skills: Medicines, Melee weapons, Survival

Gear: Military knife on an ankle holster, and a small bag of throwing knives in a pouch on his belt. Canteen of water and medical pouch filled with many kinds of medicines ranging from pills to plants.

Weapons: Military knife and throwing knives

Backstory: Emil never knew his parents. As far as he knows he was born into a tribe of raiders and was raised by a man named Jim Farcey. While most children at the time were learning how to hunt and kill, Emil was learning how to crush and blend certain herbs to make medicines. He was learning night and day about what plants were poisonous and what plants could be used for healing, and Farcey was his mentor. By the time he was an adolescent, he was one of very few doctors in his tribe. Whenever a tribal went out on a raiding trip and came back injured, Emil would be able to heal them up within the week as long as the wounds weren't severe.
When he was about seventeen, the tribe was attacked by a rival group of raiders. Majority of the tribe was killed, Farcey being one of those who were killed. Emil and the remaining few traveled far until they thought they were safe from other raiders. Emil regretted not learning how to protect himself and realized that getting out of that situation alive was pure luck. He halted his continuous learning of medicine, and took up the challenge of using knives as a primary weapon. He wanted to specialize in throwing knives, but it was extremely difficult training. It took years until he was twenty-four when he finally mastered the skill.
Emil decided to refresh his skill in medicines and was once more a doctor. He had lived with the three others from his old tribe in the middle of the desert, hunting animals and gathering whatever crops they can find for a bit longer. Emil soon decided he had to move on and try finding a better life, and use his medical skills to make a living, so he got his things together and made way for the Hub.

Both of you are accepted.

Name: Xavier Birchwood

Age: 129

Appearance: A ghoul, lost most of his black hair and teeth by this point and wears a duster of the remains of what was once a fine black suit.

Personality: Bitter, though he has been a ghoul longer than a human being he still has fond memories of his former self and indeed the former world.

Race: Whitish/green

Occupation: Works on water purification systems for the Water Merchants in the Hub.

Residence: The Hub Downtown

Skills: Repair, Science and Bartering

Gear: Typically carries a toolbox and a complex array of gear, some of which having functions some can only guess at.

Weapons: Wattz 2000 Laser Pistol

Backstory: Born in 2032 in New Hampshire, Xavier was a gifted rocket scientist and completed his apprenticeship and training working with those who would later go on to form REPCONN after the success of putting the last man on the moon. He worked with REPCONN for another decade before being approached by members for an unspecified branch of the Federal Government to work on a secret project called Hermes-13 to put a man on Mars; he fell deeper and deeper into 'politics' and became cruel and indifferent to anything. In 2073 a surprise blow to the 'branch' occured when elements beyond their control saw the Hermes-13 and much of the space programme mothballed; Xavier returned to REPCONN for the time when he would be called on again and continued to design rockets. In 2076 he and members of the 'branch' secured Bloomingfield Space Center and the Hermes project was restarted for nearly two years until the Great War began and the skeleton crew that remained at Bloomingfield survived but all either succumbed to radiation or become ghouls.

Since the war he has lost his old colleagues and roamed the wastes trying to stay alive until civilisation began to return and his skills as a technician and scientist become valuable again.

Sweet How many people do you want to be in the RP?

Looks cool. I don't know much about fallout 1, but consider me reserved.

Edit no reserve for me.

Im... intrested, but what exactley is the stucture? what will we be doing?

This, unless your just going to be doing a sanbox one.

And is Maybe the title or are you saying Maybe as in Maybe Sign UP

Maybe is the title.

I don't really have a preference to be honest. I'm going to wait a bit longer however, until I start the RP.




Kind of like New Manhattan, I provide the main overeaching plot (which is the Fallout 1 plot), and the RP members make the little details and interactions. In short, a sandbox RP.



Its a bit confusing, so maybe I'll change it to, "Maybe you'll think of me." I want to get a quote from the Fallout 1 theme song, "Maybe."

@ The Enclave, great CS, but a ghoul in the Hub would most likely live in Old Town. Accepted.

Ah yes, I'm not as familiar with Fallout 1.
