Well, I saved this one along time ago in my computer, and changed it around until I felt it was right; which is hopefully now. Just tell me what you think, like any ideas to make it better. But you can also post up a sheet if you want to join, as this will play as both a Sign-Up and Idea Thread!

Timeline!

February 17th, 2355. The People's Government of America is created.

January 1st, 2356. The People's Government is growing strong. Everyone agrees with their views on the Wasteland. Their numbers grow to the thousands.

March 6th, 2340. The People's Government and it's army overthrow what's left of the Enclave. Now being the only form of Government. They take command of America, and start to rebuild.

March 7th, 2340. The People's Government sends a massive assault on the FEV vats in America.

August 30th, 2345. The Western Brotherhood leaves, and goes back West. Reuniting with the main base of operations. The same day, they agree to join the People's Government.

June 28th, 2400. Fifty-five years after the destruction of all opposing factions. The People's Government rebuilds most major cities of America. Communication between each city is set up. Roads are made, cars are fixed and rebuilt.

October 14th, 2406. Communication starts between other countries, including all allied countries, and all Soviet countries.

December 25th, 2500. America is thriving, and is the strongest country in the world. All other major powers are also rebuilt, and growing stronger. World peace has finally started.

July 4th, 2550. The People's Government elects President Garmin. He grows paranoid of other countries growing stronger. Manufacturing weapons begins, including nuclear weapons.

August 9th, 2600. Other countries learn of America's weapon manufacturing. They all start making weapons themselves, starting an Arms Race.

October 12th, 2605. China demands all countries stop making weapons. America refuses, and reacts with force, starting a war with China.

December 31st, 2605. … And so the Great War has a sequel.

Where you come in.

Nobody worried about nuclear warfare, assuming their government didn't want to repeat the Great War. You are a citizen in the city of San Francisco, and you are on a ship going on it's first voyage to another country. Miles away from the coast, others on the ship notice plumes of smoke come from land.

As a child, you watch as your home is destroyed. No one knows the fate of other countries. When the boat can't get a signal out to anyone, everyone assumes the Great War repeated itself. Ten years later, the boat is forced to return to American soil. While most people wait back on the giant ship, a small team is sent out to San Francisco.

The city is flooded almost completely, the murky water covered the ground. There's only one thing to remember while outside in the water; stay away from the deep parts. You never know what's swimming around your feet. Be it human, or animal.

You have two choices; leave the team, and survive as you wish, or stay with the team and create a new society. If you leave the city, you'll die within days. If you leave the team, you'll suffer the same fate.

Basic rules apply.

-My word > Yours
-No ubering
-No character killing, with their consent
-No taking from others without permission
-Try not to kill every enemy with ease. See Stream's “General Combat Guide.” It's nice
-Have fun!

Throughout the RP, the group will come across more information on the People's Government, and the way it affected the world. The truth isn't always as it seems.

My Sheet:

Name: Wilhelm Gustloff (+1 if you knew where the name came from.)

Ethnic Group: German

Appearance: Brown, unkempt hair that stick out in all directions. Big green eyes, with bags under them showing lack of sleep. Stands about 5'9" with a muscular build. Tan skin, from working outside most of his life on the boat.

Weapon(s): http://www.practac.no/images/customtle2.jpg

Armor: Worn out work clothes; a stained white shirt, blue jeans, a heavy coat, and giant rubber boots.

Misc Items: N/A

Bio: It was the first, and the only voyage to another country at the time. The People's Government wanted to rebuild the massive tanker that spent so many years at San Francisco, rather than create one on it's own. The ship soon carried the last survivors of the World. Wilhelm was quite possibly the only teenager to witness the events; and he was the youngest to know what was going on. Not knowing what kind of emotion to feel; anger, sadness, depression... He just watched silently as those around him panicked on the ship. He had no feeling for what had happened, and he didn't know why.

Over the next ten years, he worked as everything on the ship. He cleaned, he cooked, he was in maintenance, you name it. He practically was in charge of the whole ship. And when the time came, he was the one in charge of the small team seeking salvation. He didn't like the idea; but he had no choice. He was sent with a few men to their old home, which was flooded almost completely. Their job was to kill everything....

Reserved

I think New York would be a better city. All the executive Skyscraqers partially flooded... That'd make a great RP.

Anyway, Reserved.

Count me in! Sounds great, I'll write up my sheet later.
We are allowed real life weapons aren't we? Sorry if I read wrong.

I love the idea, but I have too much happening to join, sorry.

All right, some people want to join!

Because of the new weapon manufacturing, Ian, you don't need to stay within Fallout weapons, or armor. But nothing crazy; at first. Also, made-up weapons are allowed to a certain degree.

And I picked San Francisco to stay truest to the original Fallouts, with the boat and all.

Sorry for grammar mistakes, I'm in my ipod.

Heh,im in,because i dont think Pirates is going to even make it to the first thread.

Name: Caine Deckard

Race: Human

Age: 18

Appearance:

-6'1, 165 pounds.
-Shaggy, long blonde hair.
-Tan skin.
-Green eyes.
-Skinny from starvation but toned as well.

Misc Items: Zippo lighter, packets of dried food and pepperoni sticks, chewing gum, canteen full of slightly irradiated water.

Bio: Not many know a lot about young Caine's background, how he came to be the young man he is now, Caine being included in that group. Small flashbacks or "brain farts" as he refers to them reveal small chunks of his turbulent past. One of the things he came to remember recently was his mothers death, or rather her murder.

He witnessed a junkie hopped up on psycho beat her to death with a lead pipe in the middle of someones living room. After he remembered that particular part of his life he decided it'd be better to start over again, and let the past remain a mystery...

If his mind would let him. On a ship destined for a better place (he'd hoped) Caine, along with everybody else aboard spot large clouds of smoke starting to form near his old home, San Fransisco. Everyone begins to panic, shouting things like "Have the Red's struck again?!" and "Oh god my family!" while Caine simply leans over the side of the ship, peering at the mysterious black smoke and thinking "Glad I decided to move on from that place..."

Accepted, you two. Only one more spot left, because of the people who reserved. This is my first RP, and all. I don't wanna start off with so many people
I forgot my own Sheet, and I'll post that soon in the OP.

Thanks for answering the question . Anyway here's my sheet.

Name:Iain Scott
Race: Caucasian
Age: 20

Appearance: He has grey-green eyes, curly blonde hair. He is athletic, with a small-featured, delicate face.
Weapons: Repeater (dark brown), Colt pistol, Machete.
Armor: Black Short Sleeved Shirt, Dark Blue 3/4 shorts, White trainers.
Misc Items: Tennis Ball, Chain necklace, Chewing Gum

Bio: Doesn't have a great memory of what happened when he was a child, only that he was in a hurry for something. Parents took him to a boat, but only Iain was allowed on it. Had to abandon his parents and start a new life on a boat. Sailors would sometimes tell him how to shoot, they only had Repeaters because it was an old fashioned boat. Learning the ropes of the boat and became a good sailor.
Captain made an announcement that they were going to take some people to San Francisco to see what had happened there. They got the willing passengers then set sail to see land for the first time in years. Iain became excited of this, to learn about the history of what had happened and his old hometown.

I can change the bio if your not happy about me being a sailor in the ship your all on.

Reserved before someone takes my spot!

Accepted, Ian.
And, I guess that's it.
We'll just have to wait for the others' to post their sheets, and I'll start this RP up.

Name:Lydia Burke
Race: Caucasian
Age: 19

Appearance: Short and thin with large Hazel eyes. A small, pretty face. Short-ish Brown hair curled into a classic 50's hairstyle.
Weapons: Whatever blunt melee weapon she can find. Currently, an old Candlebra from the ship's restaurant.
Armor: A Green dress with sensible Black shoes. Stained and torn in some places.
Misc Items: Earrings, Watch, a few Bottlecaps, a large handbag full of Medical Supplies.

Bio: Being the only young girl on the ship, Lydia didn't have many friends. The boys gave her quizzical looks when she chose to cook or play instead of fighting.
This time alone meant Lydia grew to be an exceptional Medic, and so was chosen to aid the scavengers on their mission through the city.

Lydia is quiet, a bit of a recluse. She'd never really got on with anyone on the Ship. Lydia is timid and shy, exactly the person you'd expect not to survive a Nuclear Holocaust. Inside she is kind, but outside she is hard as a rock. Her face is a constant mask of indifference. Although most on the ship thought of Lydia as odd, they soon changed their minds when they were in need of Medical assistance.


Is that alright now? ^_^

Bio: Keith was just a teenager when the second war erupted. By the time he actually got on the ship many of his friends were dead or nowhere to be found, trampled or pushed aside. That night on the ship, Keith cried all night, he had lost his parents. After a few years, when he was old enough to actually start working, he became a mechanic. He and his coworkers fixed any of the ships problems that the Peoples Republic overlooked.

When the captain announced that they were going to land at San Francisco Keith was overjoyed. He would finally be able to see land again, after so many years. But then the captain began handing out weapons. He became scared what were they going to see? Would there still be a war going on? The ship then docked and they were ready to step out to the "new world."

Accepted, both. But TeeHee, if you'd kindly add on to your bio; that'd be great.
