A Fallout 3 RP
They won't get to me. Why? They don't know me. They don't know what I do. They don't know what I look like. They don't know who I work for. And even if they did, they will NEVER know what I am capable of until it's too late. But for now I have to keep going. Moving. Running. Hiding.
My metal heart ticks on.
SCENARIO
The year is 2273.
Traders have been given a vast number of holotapes and tasked with distributing them throughout the DC Wastes for a sizable sum of caps. They're passed along and handed out, usually ending up in large stock at the Capital Wasteland's many settlements or in the corners of the city, where raiders and Brotherhood Outcasts roam. The content of the tapes asks any adventurers seeking a well-paying job to locate the recently established camp northwest of Tenpenny Tower. To acquire the briefing, the adventurers should ask the guards at the camp for "an employer". Few other details remain on the holotapes.
Our story begins when [a maximum of] 5 people enter the camp and await their instructions from the leader of the camp.
RULES
1: PM me your character sheet (shown below)
2: Do not uber your character (do not make your character some sort of all-powerful God who can do anything).
3: Don't control other people's characters without permission from the other person (not in this thread: I recommend a PM).
4: Do not attempt to move the story along. Sure, go ahead and perform actions and such, but do not make Non-Roleplayer Characters (NRPCs?) say things that change the story. Go ahead and say "Character X gets pissed", but NOT MUCH MORE (PM me for exceptions)!
5: Try to give every post depth. However, keep in mind that sometimes people get bored of you describing your every little action and might skip your post. Try as hard as you can to make good post lengths, but don't worry about it TOO much.
6: Don't say you have a Fat Man. Most combat in this RP will be too bunched up to fire a nuke into. Just for realism. PLEASE.
7: Sniper Rifles are okay to the specific extent that a person wielding one can't say "stand back, I'm going to go off and shoot everyone for you from afar so as to ruin your RPing experience". Provide BACKUP with them, maybe. Be a nice sniper.
8: Don't be an Enclave soldier. It's just awkward.
9: Having fun is a crime punishable by death.
10: I am TOTALLY not being sarcastic for number 9.
