Haha, you lucky bugger... I really feel like stealing Herbert "Daring" Dashwood's saying by saying this: "Argyle! You magnificent bastard!" Although, replace Argyle for Ambrose because he came up with such an idea...


Heh, I'd actually been toying around with this idea for a long time, I've just been hesitant about posting it because I wasn't sure how it would be received. After the last rp I tried starting up, the City of Shadows, bombed, I sort of lost heart. However, hopefully this one will get off the ground! I haven't done much of anything around here for too long, so I figured what better way to come back than with a bang?

Name: Sam Tyler. (If anyone knows what that name is from, your my new best friend.)

Gender : Male

Race: Caucasian.

Age: 24

Eyes: Lime green.

Faction: None.

Clothing/Armor: Leather Armor, Aviator sunglasses, black bandana wrapped around his head (Worn in the fashion that you would wear Red's Bandana.)

Appearance: Hair: Short almost buzz cut, brown hair.|Body Type: Noticable muscles, but not to the point where he looks like he's some macho body builder.|Complexion: Average caucasian pigment.|Height: 6'2''|Facial Features: Looks like this guy. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3602/3294864470_fdb29ae1b8.jpg If you know who that guy is, you can also consider yourself my best friend.

Weapons: Customized Chinese Assault Rifle (Increased damage), a combat knife, and a mean right hook.

Equipment: 6 purified waters, some Yao Guai meat, a box of Dandy Boy Apples, A box of Fancy Lads snack cakes, 8 stimpaks, 2 med-x and 3 jet.

Personality: Great sense of humor, Jokes around alot. Keeps spirits high, But can be serious if the need arises.

Background: Sam doesn't have much of a story to tell. When he was 16 years old, his father abandoned him, and dissapeared out into the wastes. His mother had died giving birth to him, so he had no one to take care of him. He wandered the wastes, killing anything that threatened him. He was a merc. He did what had to be done, if it payed well. He refused to take a contract that involved killing innocents, no matter what the pay may be. He liked to have a reason to kill, he wasn't cold-blooded, but he wasn't a saint either. He was eventually called in, to meet at the old Train Tunnel, so he finished eating a meal, and headed up to greet the Lone Wanderer.

Sorry about the shortness, i'm kinda tired.

No idea about the pic and the length is pretty good.. Isn't Sam Tyler that guy out of Life on Mars? Or, whatever, something weird like that... Or is there more Sam Tyler's then I'd think?

Wow, you guys are both right. I didn't think anyone has ever seen that. Maybe its just because i've only seen the American version, and it's not very popular in America. It got cancelled after like 17 episodes, which really pissed me off because it freakin' rocked. :( oh well.

I may join, i dont know. If i can think of a good idea for an underpowered character.

Name: Jean Taylor

Gender : Male

Race: Ghoul/African (Not African American, but pure African, yeah I usually choose african characters.), Liberian to be exact

Age: However old an original ghoul would be, was only 41 when he became a ghoul

Eyes: Hazel Brown

Faction: The Guardian Angels (A group that protects and guards their African land from foreigners)

Clothing/Armor: Chinese pilot jumpsuit, has a patch on both arms that shows two crossed spears and an elephant in between that reads "Anges Gardiens" (Guardian Angels), he wears a http://www.claytor.com/photographs/images/picTuaregAlgeriaTomClaytor.jpg around his face due to the still insecurity of being a ghoul, Kevlar vest underneath jumpsuit

Appearance: Hair: N/A |Body Type: Medium build, slightly above average strength |Complexion: African pigment, dark|Height: 5'11''|Facial Features: A dark ghoul

Weapons: African-refurbished M1 Garrand, .357 Magnum Semi-Auto Revolver in terrible condition, Ivory Combat Knife

Equipment: 6 purified waters, some Yao Guai meat, mac 'n cheese, 2 boxes of Fancy Lads snack cakes, 6 stimpaks, 2 med-x and 15 jet (is secretly a jet addict).

Personality:Very kind, generous, but can be very, very beligerent when drunk, which happens a lot.

Bio: Being one of the few African's alive during the great war, Jean has been through a lot, and he is a huge patriot of Africa. Jean came to the US from Liberia via a small boat that took weeks to get to the coast. When the boat did land, only Jean, and four other people survived, and he was the last of the Guardian Angels that were on the ship. Along the five people's journey to settle into America, they were captured, and experimented on by the raiders. Due to the experimentation, Jean being the lone survivor has a great hatred and loathing for the raiders, and cannot stand them one bit. Once he escaped Jean worked as a bartender in Rivet City, and then heard about the "call to arms". Immediately Jean "signed up" and was on his way.

Name: Leonid “Leo” Volsky
Age: 32
Race: Russian
Gender: Male

Appearance

Short Brown hair
Moderately tan skin
Clean Shaven
Several scars on his body from being a slave
5’ 10” Tall
190 lb.
Muscular toned body
Strong facial features
Bullet Scars on left shoulder, and two on his chest (Only visible when shirt is off)

Armor/Clothing

Ushanka
Soviet Uniform

Weapons

AK-47
MP-446 “Viking”
NR40 Fighting Knife

Misc

x7 Clips of 7.62x39
x8 Magazines of 9x19
x1 Canteen full of water
x4 Bottles of Vodka
x4 Brahmin Steak
x5 Insta-mash
x2 Cleaning kits (For both guns)

Personality: Leo is a tough fighter. He does not trust very many people, and those he does trust are very close to him. He may come off as an [censored], preferring to stay quiet and calculate the situation before speaking. Though he has seen other Russians who have come from Russia across the Bering Straights, he still does not trust them. Knowing that Russia is in an even worst situation that the US.

Bio: Traveling all the way from Mother Russia to the US, after fighting with the remnants of the Soviet Military, Leo has had a very interesting life. First he was a Caravan guard, going from Shady Sands to other small settlements in the NCR. After that, Leo moved out into the wasteland, and was caught off guard by a team of Slavers. He lived as a slave for five years, gradually escaping after he killed his owner and took back his belongings. While being chased by his former owners guards, Leo joined a Mercenary team out somewhere in what used to be Kansas. They did a few jobs, keeping people in line, and doing other things that they would kindly except payment to do. But while out on his last job, Leo was double crossed by two of his team mates after the job went south, and their team leader was killed by a Sentry Bot. They shot Leo in the shoulder and twice in the chest, leaving him for dead.

After a wasteland doctor found him almost dead and unconscious, the doctor brought Leo back to his settlement where he patched Leo up, and let him recuperate before leaving the wasteland doctor, and the settlers forever.

Leo now finds himself on the East Coast, willing to help in the fight against Ronto’s forces. He is determined to return to Mother Russia some day, but now his home is here in the US.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought I'd try with a 2nd character. See which one I like better? :P

Name: Dante Alighieri (If you know where I got this name, you get something special?)
Age: Between 26-32
Race: Italian
Gender: Male

Appearance

Long Blonde Hair reaches his shoulders
Blue Eyes
Clean Shaven
Moderate Muscular build
5’ 10” tall
185 lb.
Moderately tan skin

Armor/Clothing

-OD T-shirt
-Black Leather Jacket (Leather Armor modeled into a vest)
-White thin puffy shirt
-Brown stitched leather pants
-Tall Brown boots (Reach the bottom of his knee)
-Dark Brown stitched cape w/ Blood red cloth on the inside
-Small multi-color beaded necklace w/ mysterious pendant on it

Weapons

-x2 Rapier Sword
-x2 Combat Knifes (hidden in each boot)
-x1 Silenced 10 mm Pistol
-x1 Scoped M91/41 Carcano Rifle

Misc

-x1 Canteen of water
-x3 Yao Guai Meat
-x4 Wine
-x4 Powdered Eggs
-x3 Brahmin Steak
-x3 Special papers given to him that read: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY on the top
-x4 Magazines of 10 mm
-x4 Stripper Clips of 6.5x52 mm

Personality: Dante is a secretive person, he mostly keeps to himself in social situations but can speak when he feels the need to. When in combat, Dante is usually not seen in the heat of battle or seen at all for that matter. At times, Dante can have a short temper with the people around him, and will sometimes start calling them names, in his native language of Italian. Most are thrown by what he says, because for one they don’t understand him. Most find him a bit scary and sort of an [censored]. He is good at taking orders, but if it doesn’t seem right to him, forget about him doing it.

Bio: Not much is known about Dante’s life. The only known thing about the man is that he travelled from Florence, Italy which surprisingly wasn’t bombed like other Italian cities. How he got here, no one can say for sure. When he did get here, Dante took on the job of hired gun. Though he doesn’t really use guns all the time, preferring to kill his victims up close with a knife or sword, he is a successful mercenary/assassin. His rates are high, and not many can pay him so most of his contractors are fairly rich wastelanders who have made it one way or another.

Dante now finds himself, willing to fight against the forces of Ronto and help defend against the invading forces. Though he is really on neither side, Dante is all but willing to fight for the forces of Ronto, if they pay him enough. Same goes for the Brotherhood of Steel and others.

I have seen the english version, that's the only version I saw. I loved it soo much. I was so pissed when I found out they were cancelling it. But the last episode was freakin' awesome. Atleast it went out with a bang.

Name: Alex Reuven

Gender : Male

Age: 59

Faction: Brotherhood of Steel

Clothing/Armor: He typically wears an Armored Vault Suit, which while not offering much protection, provides quite the sight for the regular traveler or visitor to the Citadel. The suit always appears to be clean as well, as he has dozens of spare suits he secured from Vault 101. He likes wearing them, because even though he no longer has an ounce of his way of thinking from the Vault, it's still nice to reminisce of a peaceful age. When he goes into combat, he wears a specially designed suit of power armor designed by the Brotherhood of Steel to fit him. It looks like a regular set of power armor, but is a dark blue in appearance, with 101 on the back in white. His appearance on the battlefield usually spells the end for his opponent, and he wants them to know that. He's instantly recognizable anywhere he goes, even of most people don't even know his name.

Appearance: Alex is an average man in terms of height and weight and has a face that is near unrecognizable without the suit. He's altogether a rather forgettable person, until he dons his armor. Despite his age, he still has a thick layer of muscles, which in turn is covered by innumerable scars, though his face is mostly untouched. He has dark, green eyes that tend to pierce people straight to the heart when he stares at them, and his hair is a dull, dirty brown, though it's been graying and by now is quite noticeable. He usually has an easy smile on his face, but it doesn't seem to be genuine, as the smile never extends to his eyes. He's missing one finger on his left hand, and a chunk of his right ear, but typically no one notices these features.

Weapons: Though he has a massive collection of weapons, some strange and unique, others common, he almost never uses them, preferring to leave them in display cases in the Citadel for people to look at. When wearing his Vault Suit, all he carries is a 10mm pistol. When in combat however, he carries a laser rifle with an improved output, allowing it to cut through even power armor. It's part of the new wave of laser weaponry, designed after the discovery that plasma rifles tend to blow up with age. He also carries a laser pistol at his side, and rumor has it that this pistol used to belong to Elder Lyons himself.

Personality: Very few people ever talk to him long enough to judge his personality, but from the outside he appears to be a pleasant and virtuous man, willing to lay his life on the line to save others no matter the circumstances. This is, of course, not his true personality, but it's all anyone aside from the oldest members of the Brotherhood, such as Sarah Lyons, ever see.

OOC: I would put a bio, but... Given the character, I think it'd be easier to come up with your own history for him. After all, there's so many rumors these days, who knows exactly how things really went.
