While I can't reveal too much of the story, the basic premise will be people just arriving to the Vault after a year of habitation in 2078 and using advanced simulation pods to ensure the Dwellers within live long and don't get bored in their Vault, the pods open as the Overseer opens the the Vault, as per orders, opens to the destruction of the Great War. Unfortunately, the Dwellers find the dead are now walking the earth and must survive in the city of Chicago, unable to flee the city. Thankfully, with medical supplies from the Vault, most any mortal wound is survivable, but lose a limb and you may just die. Beware of being bitten by the dead, if you do, you won't come back!

Does this plot sound farfetched to you? Well it is! But, there's a very good reason for all of this and I will select people at random to die, as this is part of the plot. If you're willing to take the time to follow me down the rabbithole, I think you will all like the RP's conclusion.

Age:

Race: (Standard races, obviously no Ghouls or Mutants)

Appearance:

Biography:

You'll be permitted to change your outfit when you leave the Vault and select what you wear in the 'perfect life' simulation, but until then, you'll just have a Vault suit. You may scavenge weapons you find but all Dwellers will be issued by the Overseer (Me) and a person Co-GMing who I'll need to help me with the plot of this RP and general things to help run the RP too. To be GM you'd need to RP my right hand character, but beyond that, you're free to have as many other characters as you can manage. Same applies to other standard players.

I know the plot sounds bizarre, but it does have a plot to it as I'll reveal in time once the RP hits off. Do I have any takers?

I'd join up

Edit: Great, Glitzy! Just submit a character sheet. Do you have any questions or comments? (I can't tell you the plot, but it will be very intricate and the ending will be quite fun IMO)

so is this gonna be zombie survival horror sort of thing? Count me interested although I think we should be-able to leave the city later on....

edit: Also if they were only in the vault for a year why do they need simulation stuff? seems kinda pointless unless.....

Nope, they'll remain in the Chicago the whole time.

Major spoiler for anyone wanting to skip ahead of the plot:

Spoiler

Sharp catch Lewis.

The intricacy is that they are still in the simulation, the Overseer will lead them out but vanish. He'll be found as a zombie, shuffling aimlessly, but in truth he's outside the simulation and when he does go in, he appears to individual characters portraying himself as 'God' giving them a brief moment of comfort in his penthouse he'll use to watch the others. (Think of it as an unreachable skybox to the sporting event). When each character is killed, their body is truly dead in the sim and those left alive from mortal wounds will think the medical aide was just high tech Vault Stuff, but in the background it's actually a subroutine that allows the character to heal. When you die in this sim, you're whisked once more into the perfect simulation, waking in your bed as if it were nothing more than a bad dream.

I'm unsure if I'll make the people they see in the perfect world are NPCs until the person in the zombie sim is killed, then the NPC is immediately wiped and the actual user wakes in their bed. If the people in the perfect world want, they could end up discussing how they all end up having this weird dream about a world of undead, when everyone is killed, they will actually be woken from the simulation and the Overseer will reveal to them all in the Atrium they were part of an elabourate simulation done by Vault-Tec to test what life might be like if a potential major scale nuclear war brought the dead to life via radiation. (Bear in mind this is working from 1950's understanding of radiation, so it's an absurd concept)

From here we can either have that the people revolt, accept this begrudgingly or have no problem with it. Then they can choose to keep using the perfect utopia simulation or brave the ruins of the real Chicago. There can be a group vote to kill the Overseer in the OOC thread, I won't mind.

I'm in... Sounds very intriguing...

I'm very interested.

I read the spoilers and now I’m even more interested, this is going to be fun… Marvelous idea Colonel, marvelous indeed!

Name: Charles Monroe

Age: 21

Race: Caucasian

Appearance: http://oi59.tinypic.com/16c9v02.jpg

Biography: Charles was born in the year 2057… He lived the life of a regular American teenager up until the day his family decided to move into the Vault… His parents were very paranoid and they moved into the Vault in 2076. Charles has hated his life ever since, but now that the Vault is opening Charles is more excited than he’s ever been. But he’s also very nervous, he realizes that once they leave that Vault he’s in for one hell of a surprise. No one knows what it’s like out there, and one can only guess that it’s very hostile.

Interesting bio, but the this is the war happened in 2077, so you MIGHT need to lower the birth year by about 100 years.

Also, Kalarn says he is going to use a more detailed CS, so I may be updating my expectations on CS templates soon.

Oh, wow, how embarrasing ahaha ... I could of swore those ones were zeroes, lol.

And there's no problem there, I was thinking of expanding on my bio anyways...
