Please Read The Following Information.

April 27

The NCR is a thriving community now, with well over 1,000,000 million people living in it's boundaries. It's most valuable city is Lancaster, a major trading town and research center. The research begins on antibodies and vaccines to cure common diseases. Project is making good progress

Population: 50, 000

April 30


Accident in research lab, virus released, contamination protocol activated. Scientist believe it to be alright. Research continues.

Population: 50,000

May 10

Scientist find out there wrong, when the first victim of the virus is killed, a little girl named Dani Jolie. They cover it up and calm the public about her mysterious death. They radio the NCR and they order a complete quarantine. All research is stopped and immediately re directed to the cure for this new virus.

Population: 49,999

May 15


NCR shuts down Lancaster's borders, heavy gates block anyone form entering or leaving, snipers are posted around the town, killing anyone who manages to get out. Inside the town is mass panic as the virus begins to claim more lives and the borders are shut. Ghouls remained unaffected by virus, becoming the source of much hatred.

Population: 49,499

May 30


Virus has become an epidemic, the town has degenerated into chaos. A cult forms, it appeals to many people as it blames the scientists and ghouls for the virus. Scientists have barricaded themselves in the research lab, three quarters of the staff has perished, but they continue to research a cure.

Population: 38,000

June 17


The cult called Followers of Rein begin a mass extermination of everyone in the town, believing people not of the cult are the cause of the virus. The scientists all are dead now, but they managed to save their research, it's almost complete, if only someone could get to them.

Population: 35,000

June 30

There is no hope. That's what most people believe now, fires rage, cults and gangs murder, the virus tortures people, there is no way out.

Population: 10, 000

The Plague
(A Deadly Virus)

First off there are three types, you can only be infected with one, and two of them are fatal. One percent of the population is completely immune and are carriers(not including ghouls).

Type 1: The most common and most deadly. There are virtually no warning signs, it takes 24 hours from the start of the infection for it to kill it's victim, extremely contagious, any bodily contact can transmute it. The moment of infection the person will start bleeding profusely, sores will open all over the body, vital organs shut down, within four hours they enter a coma, and in 24 they die.

Type 2: The least common, but still deadly strain. Victim life span varies, but three months is average. It causes sores to open up all over the body, slowly eats away at the flesh, acute hemophilia, and eventually causes vital organs to fail.

Type 3: Rare, but more common than Type 2. It's not fatal, causes sore to open all over the body and acute hemophilia.

Carrier: Rarest, They don't get infected but spread Type 1 by body contact. Just touching a Carrier can result in Type 1

Factions
(Those crazy gangs and cults)


Followers of Rein: Easily the biggest cult, their leader is one Lenox Rein. They are well equipped with Flamethrowers, mini guns, grenade launchers, RPGs, and other automatic weaponry.

Appearance: Wears hoods and masks, all armor(Leather to Combat) has the Bio-Hazard symbol on it.

Zombie Slayers: A gang of extremely racist non-ghouls. Since ghouls can not be infected they believe their the source, their mission is the genocide of ghouls. Their leader is one Joseph Hector.

Appearance: All human, clothing and appearances vary, but the all have a red target symbol painted on their chest

Corpse Walkers: Most ghouls belong to this gang, it's an anti-human gang determined to get revenge for the acts against their kind. The leader is Travis Napier.

Appearance: All ghouls, clothing and appearances vary, but all have a white skull painted on their chest

The Protectors: They want to find a cure to the point where they kill those who stand in their way. This gang is often at war with the Followers of Rein, it is the second most popular gang. They won't care about civilians in a firefight, nor help them, but they won't actively kill them. Lead by Lennon Bruce.

Appearance: Their clothing can vary, but they all wear some kind of helmet, and paint white shields on the chest of their armor.

That just leaves the rest of the people trying to survive.

Lancaster
(The quarantine zone explained)

City of Rein: This is a large portion of Lancaster, it holds the Follower of Rein.

The Hot Zone: The portion of the city that separates the Followers from the Protectors, battles are frequently held here, fires rage, most dangerous place to be in. Research Lab is located here.

Haven: Holds the Protectors, despite it's name, people will be killed on spot if they approach it.

Grovewalk: The largest zone of civilians, it is also the safest, though it is frequently attacked.

City of the Living: Holds the Zombie slayers, a ghoul might cross into it's border, but do not expect to be in there long.

The Dead Zone: The zone in between the Zombie Slayers and Corpse Walkers. Since Corpse Walkers don't like humans and Zombie Slayers don't like ghouls, this is a place for nobody.

City of the Dead: Home to the most ghouls and the Corpse Walkers. Humans not welcome.

*These zones are after June 30, and outlines the areas of the towns. A person could be anyone of these zones. Small pockets of civilization could exist in The Dead Zone, though it would be safer to live in Grovewalk.

Landmarks:
(Important Places)

Town Hall: The town hall where the governor, Eric Dax use to reside.

Town Square: The large area in the center of the town where events are held.

Research Lab: Where the cure is located, in The Hot Zone.

How It Will Work:

Players will start out on May 10 it will show their daily lives, doing whatever they do(Chef, Bartender, Mechanic, Plumber, Technician, etc.) and watch as the town slowly disintegrates into chaos. They will be brought to each other, at first just for survival, but as time goes on they will begin to rebel, wipe out the gangs and save Lancaster from utter destruction.

That's all, thanks for reading. Here's my CS:

Name: Jack Shepard

Age: 27

Race: Human, Caucasian

Plague: Type 2

Job: Mercenary

Appearance: Tan skin with long black hair(shoulder length), has green eyes and a crooked smile. About 6'3, muscular body.

Personality: Quick tempered and violent, slightly sadistic and cares more about himself than others.

Addiction: Addicted to Psycho

Weapons: SPAS-12 and Colt Python

Clothing: Leather Armor and Red Bandanna

Bio: Jack used to be a raider, but when noticing the increasing power of the NCR he decided to take his chances as a mercenary instead. He's lived in Lancaster for eight years now, as it gets the most traders it gets the most jobs. The death of Jolie has made him slightly suspicious towards the research department, then again, he's suspicious of everyone.

Name: Toad

Age: Unknown, at least 50 but he's a Ghoul...it can be hard to tell

Race: Ghoul

Plague: Immune, finally a Ghoul catches a break

Job: Bartender

Appearance: Ghoulish I suppose. Holding together better than most but still not going to win any beauty pageants

Personality: Friendly but very very slow to trust others. Has not shown any propensity towards violence...but his guns seem well used and he has some stories to tell, if one were so inclined he could always get a new story.

Addiction: Most drugs don't do much for us Ghouls

Weapons: Two revolvers. One snub nosed one standard. Doesn't dual wield, left arm probably not strong enough. Snub nose draws less attention.

Clothing: Khakis and a Red/Black plaid button up shirt. Gloves when bartending (hurts tips if you leave bits of flesh or spots of blood on customer's glasses)

Bio: Toad has memory problems sometimes. Been a live a long time and the fact that he's basically rotting slowly doesn't help much. Came from out west. Been traveling, settled down here some time ago. Usually Toad gets along pretty well with everyone, everyone who isn't a bigot at least.

Accepted.

I have a few questions, what year does the RP take place in and is the world still a Wasteland?

It's about 2400, and the world is still mostly a wasteland it would take thousands of years before that changed.

Name: Ryan “Ray” Rayneld
Age: Unknown (What year is it?)

Race: Ghoul

Plague: I am immune!

Job: Scavenger

Personality: Despite being a Ghoul Ray is very friendly towards humans, even the ones who are bigots, of course he will usually ignore bigots but he will do nothing at all to harm them. Ray does not like to hang around humans, but he still likes them. The only reason he does not like to hang around humans is because they stare.

Addiction: Ray has no addiction but if there was one thing that he would be addicted to it would be Vodka, he loves the stuff.

Weapons: M1911

Clothing: White Undershirt, Brown Hoodie, Blue Jeans and Brown Boots, Leather Gloves.

Bio: I will work on later I have to go right now.

I have to ask, shouldn't Type 3 be the rarest? Seeing as how its not fatal?

Plague: Type 3

Job: Police Officer

Appearance: Brown hair, hazil eyes, tanned, scars on his face

Bio: Son of Nikolai Romanov, Dmitri is disliked by much of the town because hes a Russian (some believe Russia started the nuclear war). He grew up wanting to be a Doctor, but his father was killed by a local gang, so he joined the police force. He later gunned the entire gang down outside of town with two other officers, although one of the officers was killed. He lives in a shanty house, and is married to a beautiful 23 year old woman named Elizabeth Romanov.

I like it sounds quite interesting

Age: 20

Race: Human, Female

Plague: Carrier

Job: Waitress

Appearance: Slender Build, Blonde hair that reaches about two inches down from her shoulders, Brown eye's. Small scar across her left cheek. Would probally be considered good looking by most.

Personality: Sarah is a very calm person however she can be easily sent over the edge especially when it comes to loved ones, very loving and caring person which perhaps causes her to be naive at times, is a very good liar, however she is mostly honest. See's things how they are, down to earth.

Addiction: None

Weapons: Desert Eagle, Combat Knife

Clothing: Custom leather Armour as seen in this mod http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2944 for those who don't click its just like the fallout 3 leather Armour but with a bare midriff.

Sarah has never been in a serious relationship before, but is currently trying to figure out which way she swings, there is a guy Rex but she also feels incredibly strongly toward her best friend Amy its tough being 20 years old in a nuclear wasteland. Sarah currently makes a living working as a waitress in a bar called The Lounge she knows and get's on fairly well with Toad the bartender Sarah dosn't mind that he's a ghoul unlike some people, the pay isn't great but its enough for her and her dog Dare and if she doesn't make enough she Gamble's on the side, she's good at it too along with running and climbing. Sarah has lived in Lancaster all her life her parents don't live too far from her, she loves them very much. Her father is the source of her Desert Eagle, he gave it to her on her sixteenth birthday when she left home. Apart from usual life troubles things where going pretty well for Sarah, then the virus hit.

Nope.

To the rest of you, your all accepted. Also I just realized that I forgot to put gender on the CS sheet, but unless you have an ambiguous name, it shouldn't be hard to identify.

Thanks, how many RP'ers are you planning on haing?

Your welcome?

6-9 would be nice, so at least one more.

okay, i was saying thanks for the acceptance.

That's very kind of you, if only people were as nice as you where I lived.

Also I would like to note that this is my Final's week. It probably won't do that much, but I might post very late at night or early morning, like 3:00. Speaking of which I've got Biology to work on. Good god I hate that class.

Never mind, I'm just trying to procrastinate. One more person joins and we can get this going by tomorrow.

Just a quick question-

Is it possible to do work for the factions that emerge later in the RP without joining them outright?

Hmm, I'm going to have more information. PM what you have in mind.

Name: Ryan “Ray” Rayneld
Age: 100 he turned into a Ghoul at age 20

Race: Ghoul
Plague: I am immune!
Job: Scavenger

Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=Ghoul Fallout&order=9&offset=72#/d2l3p1j. I am not that great at describing how a Ghoul looks like so a picture is a ton better!

Personality: Ray like many other Ghouls dislikes humans, though he does tolerate them, the only time he befriends a human is if they are not a bigot and are already friends with another ghoul. For this reason Ray only has four human friends in total. Ray is a nice guy overall, especially to Ghouls.

Addiction: Ray has no addiction but if there was one thing that he would be addicted to it would be Vodka, he loves the stuff.
Weapons: M1911
Clothing: White undershirt, Brown hoodie, Blue Jeans and Brown Boots, Leather Gloves.

Bio: Ray does not remember his human life, when he awoke as a ghoul the radiation had wiped his memory he had no idea who he was. He knows his name is because a letter in his pocket had his name on it. Ray lived in Underworld, a Ghoul city in D.C. Life was great there but he wanted to make a diference in the world, so he left when he was fifty. He befriended another Ghoul who was leaving D.C. and going to New Vegas, Ray decieded to go with him forgetting that he was trying to make a difference. Once they got to New Vegas Ray got into gambling, and got a hell of a dept. Ray decided to leave New Vegas, he did not know where he was going but months passed and he found the NCR.

Name: Vincent Graves

Age: 24

Race: Human, Caucasian

Plague: Carrier

Job: Mercenary

Appearance: Tan skin with short jet black hair, gray eyes, 6'1 and 178lbs

Personality: An enigma, at times Vincent can be very outgoing trying to help his fellow survivors. Other times he can be uncaring, selfish, and malicious looking out only for himself. Has a strange sense of humor and occasionally goes into deep state of depression.

Addiction: Chain Smoker

Weapons: Hunting Rifle, Desert Eagle

Clothing: Modified Leather Armor with several metal plates reinforcing the armor, black leather gloves, and a red & green scarf.

Bio: Vincent has had streaks of bad luck throughout his life the worst being his current situation. Vincent came to Lancaster in search of merc work but has been trapped since the quarantine. He was however lucky enough only to be a carrier of the disease affecting all of the Lancaster populace. In order to keep himself from infecting more people he wears a pair of gloves over his hands which he now never removes. Vincent trapped within Lancaster now spends his days keeping watch over the citizens caught between the fighting of the many groups within the quarantine zone.

Accepted. I will start the RP tomorrow in the evening until then people can continue to join, up to three more people is all that can fit in. First come first serve.

Name: Noah Antwiler.

Age: 30

Race: Human, Caucasian.

Plague: Type 3

Job: Medical Doctor.

Appearance: Small Sores. Ear-length, wavy black hair, faint beard, green eyes, 6'2, lbs.

Personality: Noah is an incredibly over-work doctor, which causes his gruff demeanor. Seeing as how most of his patients know they'll die, he has no 'bedside manner' leaving a very blunt, aggressive man. He still retains compassion, evident by the continuation of his practice. If treating these poor people lets them live for only a few more days, he will.

Addiction: The Devil Bottle.

Weapons: A Bowie Knife he calls 'The Scalpel' seeing as how it has unfortunately been used as such in some cases.

Clothing: A blood splattered, once white overcoat, which has been weathered and treated to hold medical supplies, and fitted with a bandoiler for ammo. Black vest underneath, thick black pants and dirty, strange-fluid covered boots.

Bio: Growing up his with overprotective parents, who were also prestigious doctors, irked at him. Even though Lancaster was still in the Wasteland, he wanted a normal childhood. Early in his teens he had revived a dog which had been hit by some rebuilt auto-carriage. This caught the attention of some local girls, and ever since, he wanted to be a doctor. Upon telling his parents, they welcomed his with sterile, open arms. The last years of his life was training, which stopped two years prior to the incident when his parents passed. He was asked to help those at the Research Facility, to which he declined. He then set up his own successful practice called 'Noah's No Pain', which still semi-operates, helping those who are inevitably doomed.

Accepted. Nice to see a doctor, it really will give a good look at how fast the virus takes hold of the population. Two more spots open.

I hope some gets the reference in the name...

It's cool if you can't have me aboard the Rp .

Name: Iain Scott

Age: 15

Race: Human

Plague: Type 2

Job: Plumber (gets equipment for proper Plumbers, doesn't actually fix things)

Appearance: Brown hair, short at the moment but grows pretty quickly. Brown eyes, pretty big and easy to perform the sad puppy dog look. Around about average height, but his trainers make him look pretty tall. Skinny arms and slim body. Quite tanned. Has acne on back, he usually keeps his shirt on to hide it.

Personality: Friendly kid who is always nice to anyone who speaks to him, can be pretty shy when there is a group of people is with him. Enjoys parkour, goes out everyday to vault walls,rails and climb buildings. Very helpful, liked by many of the Plumbers.

Addiction: Free Running (strange addiction yes, in real life I free run every day, I love it)

Weapons: Nail gun

Clothing: Light blue beanie, brown shirt, black shorts and white trainers (shock absorbants). Wears white dungarees when helping Plumbers

Arghh, I can't do a biography, it's easier if I describe one in the Rp.

Name: Patrick "Patsi" Colvin
Age: 43

Race: Human (Caucasian.)

Plague: Type 2

Job: Homeless (No official work skills but is kind of like a 'jack of all trades handyman') he works at a travelers' shelter

Appearance: Shaggy brown and gray hair, looks like the bedraggled hairstyle in F3. Hazel eyes, almost grayish blue, he looks empty if you stare into his eyes. 5' 11". Meaty, quite stocky for a homeless man. He doesn't grow facial hair much, and if he has some facial hair it's usually scruffy bits on his chin. More or less scruffed up 5 O' clock shadow.

Personality: Friendly and outgoing, he always lends a helping hand and is really reliable. Sometimes he can be manic and aggressive though this only rarely occurs.(and seemingly random)

Addiction: Alcohol

Weapons: Bat, wrench, knowledge

Clothing: Kind of like this but wearing a dirt covered peacoat. http://www.humboldtliving.com/images/articlepics/homeless_man_dog.jpg

Bio: I started typing this in the 'personality' section on accident, so I think this is written a little funky.
He has some psychotic breakdowns now and again, and he's slowly becoming more detached from everyone due to his manic states. He thinks he's suffering from schizophrenia because he has sometimes sees things, like this cute little girl (about 6 years old) who talks to him when he gets angry or upset. The little girl is actually his daughter[deceased] who he lost in a train accident 13 years ago. He got amnesia from the wreck and started to lose his memories of her and eventually she faded away into fiction. This caused him to turned to alcoholism which rendered him homeless.

Edit: Grammar, some of the bio, and last name.

Josh might want to tweak your Bio slightly. It seems odd that one would be knocked unconscious in Megaton, Washington D.C. and wake up one year later in Lancaster, California.

You might just stretch the one year to a longer time period...but it would still strike me as odd that anyone would transfer an unconscious body that far....or that they even could in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
