Marcus, I actually own that very same gun. Its semi-automatic, collapsible stock, but they can be bought by civilians. If you insist, I could go with the new Finnish rifle I recently purchased, also military grade but a much older model. Just saying though, the Hungarian AMD isn't as 'military' as you'd think. The weapons on my list are ones I actually own. So why not be more true to life than give myself some Marlin/Remington hunting rifle?

But by all means, I could use a less 'military-grade' rifle.

I just think people will get the wrong impression. There are other semi-automatic weapons out there, and I just think with the AK title, people will think otherwise on it's firing system.

If you want to keep it, that's fine since I'm sure people who are applying, have/will read your explanation for having it, but I'm just thinking ahead. Others who don't see your explanation, might get confused.

I agree with this, sure it might be semi-automatic but it isn't mentioned in CS(which people who join later on will read) and couldn't it possibly be modifled/ adapted to fire Fully automatic? i'm no gun expert but i reckon it could done (by a expert though) which would give you a advatange over others.

it's also kind of unfair for the rest of us who have pistol, rifles or in my case atleast, are unarmed whlist you're running around with an AK

Perhaps later on when we all meet up we can raid a police station , an Army base or simply a gun store and get some better quality / "Army grade" guns the mods can also decide what we get there, making it balanced/ beilevable

Also, I want to point out two things.

First, which one of you (Jonas and Venix) are going to put up the IC Thread? I'm leaving that up to you two, unless you think otherwise?

Second, for everyone else who isn't Jonas or Venix, since it was us three who talked about this already, we're not going to be making a OOC Thread for this RP. We've all agreed before this was posted, that it seems most of the time on here, OOC Threads are the ones that get more attention than the actual IC Threads, which is something we don't want to see for this RP, so we're cutting the worthless fat and keeping what's needed and where people should post more frequently. So when the IC Thread is up, if you didn't catch in the rules, any and all questions you may have regarding the RP, should be PM'd to one of us three.

Sweet! Just downloaded an imgur app and can post my in game character!

So I'll get on that cs soon. When Does this rp start?

It'll start whenever the three of us figure out who's putting up the IC Thread. Until then, we'll all just have to wait and see. Hopefully today or tomorrow?

I dont mind putting up the OOC, it just depends on when we have the correct number of people. we havnt even said who is accepted and whatnot.

IC... Aye, I was wondering whether you guys just said who was accepted through mails or something.

when have 9 -11 people ( Mom & bas when their CS are up/fixed) and possibly a few others intersted I'd say you have enough to start (grayditch started with roughly the same amount) so start when you think you're ready i guess

although i think you should decide who is accepted or not before starting though

I know nothing really about Seattle.

Will that be a problem?

No, no problem, just look up Seattle in Wikipedia, Google Images, Google Earth/Maps, etc. and you'll get an idea that should be good enough where and what you'll be seeing the remnants of.


As for who's accepted or not, I'd say everyone who's posted a CS and hasn't been told otherwise, is good to go in being apart of this. So basically if one of us hasn't pointed out your name, you're fine and are accepted. I've looked through the CS's, and they all seem good to me. If I had any suggestions, I would have already posted them, or just told you that you're not accepted. Not sure if Jonas or Venix have read through all the CS's though.

Is there a deadline to submit a CS?

I'm pretty sure there isn't, but the rp starts either today or tomorrow.

M1911. 49 45. Acp bullets, or seven 7-rounded clips.

Gear:
-Old Vault Tech lunchbox

-Bandages, basic first aid
-1 full and 1 half empty water bottle.
-Old Walkman. Battery is dead.
-Army surplus bandolier. Just holds the basics and is light.

Personality: Helpful usually.
Depressed about the Great War, but doesn't show it. Disciplined and respects those who respect him.

Bio: Mickhail Reed was born in Florida and moved to Seattle with his dad after a job offering opened up.

His dad was a skilled mechanic, and Mickhail sometimes helped him repair many items. Shortly after his father's death of old age, Mickhail became very depressed and joined the Marines to get it off his mind.

He was issued armor that was used in the Shang hi campaign in China and an Assault Rifle and M1911. When the war ended, for him anyways, he returned home and bought a new house. While he could have kept his armor, he didn't want to. He got to many nightmares of his victims and their blood that splattered it, so he turned it in. He did, however, keep the M1911 because of its reliability.

In his new house in a small suburb of Seattle, he stocked up on water and supplies when the air raids started up.

After a while, he got tired of the drills, but it all changed on October 23rd, 2077. He heard the bombs drop, the ground shake, and the news station quickly turn to scatter. Safely in his basemant, or so he hoped, he silently heard the world as he knew it fall apart. He decided to stay underground until he felt the radiation cleared up. Now after 8 months, he thinks he needs to emerge and take a look at what was once Seattle...

No, but when there is, it'll be clear that there is.


Sorry man, but no military-types at all. His skill in weapons use, military tactics, etc., would be much greater than what the rest of us have, and we don't want that for this RP, we want the Average Joe/Jane of America with different skills. Like I reminded Jonas, the highest type of person we want in weapons skill, is a Cop type.

The reason why this is, is because when it comes to military type characters, and this sort of RP, the player with the soldier character, sort of tends to be the one to suddenly start building up the military with all his knowledge and skills. And usually it's one of the things that's created right away, and seeing as part of this is survival and building things organically and not jumping too them, the "military" should be nothing more than rag-tag survivors coming together to give some focused protection. Not a trained, learned, ranked, or led military organ like what usually happens. So you're going to have to change that.

Not even like a private ranked soldier? Fine.

I'll try to edit it.

Um, am I accepted? I posted on the first page.

What do you think?

Bio: Mickhail Reed was born in Florida and moved to Seattle with his dad after a job offering opened up.

His dad was a skilled mechanic, and Mickhail sometimes helped him repair many items. He had general knowledge of repairing cars, electric switches, and even a few pistols and rifles demonstrated in his weekly magazine of "Firearms Today." Shortly after his father's death of old age, Mickhail became very depressed and began to finish up his dad's last work, including an M1911 with his dad's last name carved in in, "Reed."

In his new house in a small suburb of Seattle, he stocked up on water and supplies when the air raids started up.

After a while, he got tired of the drills, but it all changed on October 23rd, 2077. He heard the bombs drop, the ground shake, and the news station quickly turn to scatter.

Yes, Unless another GM said about anything then you are accepted : )

And Your Mom I dont see anything wrong now so Im good unless the Doc or Jonas has anything to say.

Thanks, Venix. Jonas, Doc, do you have any problems with my CS?

If this is 8 months after the bombs, will the animals be mutated already? Or will they be in an evolving state?

Im guessing in an evolving state, maybe some fully mutated, but at first it will be about plain survival

edited my sheet, even put 'civilian issue' for anyone who looks over it. So, we all clear? No military ANYTHING involving career or gear.

Also, to the above poster (not you Venix ), due to the high amounts of radiation (and the fact that this RP is supposed to be about serious nuclear holocaust survival in the Fallout world) there will be varying degrees of mutated animals. In fact, Doc, why don't you and I start coming up with some ideas of what we'll be up against. I know we've already talked a bit about it, but I think we need to flesh it out a bit more, what do you think?

An increase in the size of ants would be a good idea. 8 months exposure from radiation? A good 3 inches thick and 2 inches wide would seem rather realistic. However, to be an even more challenge, greater lengths could work. Also, maybe ants near garbage sights, toxic dumbs, or other highly radiated areas could be about the size of a toddler.

I don't know anything about Seattle either, that's what Google is for! LOL I checked out the city through google maps and that's how I got the idea with the University.

Btw., if my CS is accepted, I wouldn't mind if other characters also started out in the University Fallout shelter. I imagine it to be a big basemant with various rooms and with quite a lot of people down there. Now, if you think that it's not a good idea and my character should shelter alone, then I can revise my CS. Also, maybe the resources in the University could play a role in the RP.
