I dig the fact Chris was a negotiator, that's the word your looking for right?

Ah yes, thats the word!

Thank ye.

Good character. :] Negotiator's certainly a new background from what I often see-though, actually, a lot of people have done things I don't often see. Pretty cool.

Anyways-if everyone is alright with it, we'll be starting today. I'll get my second character done with as soon as possible.

Sweet, though if we skip how long will the jump be later in the RP?

Dont we get like a post or two before the bombs drop?

That's what I thought was happening.

That's indeed what's happening. We'll be starting from the very beginning-right before the Great War starts. I think Boradam asked in that manner because earlier, before I was given feedback on the matter, I offered the second possibility of skipping some generations of the vault and starting later-as they're about to open it. Basically the beginning of its personal end. Someone and/or some people stated they preferred starting from the earliest point in the Vault 114's story, so that's what we'll be doing. :]

Hope that fixes any confusion.

Well, I'll be watching.. and waiting... :spotted owl:

Im new to the forum RP thingy, are we gonna start in this thread or a new one?

This is the thread we will start it in I believe.

I thought this was just an Interest check thread. Usually the GM asks an Admin to close this thread and we start on a new thread, or something like that.

so is Tickchtock writing the first post now?

EDIT: DB Assassin is correct-this is just an interest check thread, in which I decided to let everyone write their character sheets. That way we could all start more around the same time.
Once I post up the new thread and all that, remember to post your character sheets before actually writing up your post. I'll start working on everything now.

Decided to make the other character real quick first, as I wanted to make someone who shows a semblance, in one or two ways, to how the scientists expect the whole of the population to eventually act and think.

Name: Cherise Turtle Toft
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Skills, Talents: Has the best health of the whole of the vault, notably good looks, and somewhat higher than average intelligence. However, all of her physical abilities are rather poor, particularly anything outside of the senses-both from a lack of motivation and simple inability. It's even possible that she will need glasses, eventually, later on.
Ranking: 401
Position: Vault Dweller
Appearance: The young woman has an unusually symmetrical face-compared to the average person-that is one reason for her attractiveness. She owns a feminine, well shaped jaw line and face-with smooth, pale skin that reddens ever so faintly at the cheeks. Her eyes have that a sort of "puppy" look-slightly bigger than average with large, dark, blue tinted green irises. Her features in general often follow, loosely, the popularly desired look of a woman just before the Great War. With full lips, often a deep crimson color from prudently used lip stick, high, yet not extremely pronounced cheek bones, and a nicely shaped nose that turns up just a bit at the tip. Her hair is of a light shade, though varying vastly in color-as it mostly consists of a light, golden blond color-having a few streaks of a more brown, dark sort, as well as nearly red browns, and highlighted by numerous, white blonde colors. Whatever her hair's actually like, Cherise puts considerable effort into ensuring it looks as how many find attractive-a short hair style with curls at just the right spots to give a flowing, curvy, and thick look to it.

Even her body shape has maintained, usually, the expected look. A thin waist, a flat belly, and a somewhat sizable bosom and bottom. Only slightly maintained due to her inherently exceptional health. Currently, however, that flat belly and general hour glass shape cannot be seen-as the new vault dweller is well into a teenage pregnancy at this point. To where her belly has swelled into a far less attractive, glaring bulge.
Personality: While to many she's charming, those who give a more in depth and extremely observant look at her will realize that Cherise is, quite simply put, "odd." Having grown in a wealthy, and purposefully ridiculously sheltered and mainly closed-off, environment, there are many things she doesn't understand. Many things one would have learned from formal education she doesn't know-once one passes basic arithmetic and reading, often Cherise has no idea what you're talking about. In some ways, the seventeen year old will sound like a child-when it comes to knowledge.

She has a series of things that she sees as truly "evil"-six included, especially outside of marriage, despite the obvious fact she herself is no longer a virgin and single. Most of what she sees evil was simply what her father didn't want her to do, and thus made severely forbidden to the point it could be considered unholy. On the matter of her father, actually, she often romanticizes about him-remembering him fondly and without flaw. For Cherise, Mr. Toft seemed like the only one who was always there for her-and it's possible she holds a daddy and now also guilt complex due to her past and due to her actions. Though if she does have shame, she doesn't show it.

While Ms. Toft can be extremely charming, even flirting around men at times, her behavior toward an individual is often based on their social status. Being a Social Darwinist and classist, she'll treat those above herself as if they were all God-like celebrities-whether they are considered by others to be such or not. To those roughly equal to her own status, she treats them often without formality but still kindly and with respect. For anyone beneath her? She might have rigid manners she politely carries through, but it'll be through gritted teeth if so. More often than not, Toft will insult or at least all too plainly look down upon such people. Both face to face and behind their back. In all cases, she'll treat men more sweetly than women-feeling men are superior and that, if she wants to be successful in life, she must marry a man and bring up a more proper family. This fact hardly effects those she looks beneath of, but anyone else will notice a severe difference. If they pay enough attention.

History: Cherise Turtle Toft's father was a tactical man, a controlling man, and a somewhat emotional man-as much as he suppressed the final trait when required. Toft's mother had evidently outstanding genes, and when the man looked into it this was especially the case with her history of health. So as a result of a medley of wanting a healthy child and a much more primitive feeling of lust, he used charm and (later on) other less loving forms of manipulation to coax her into a marriage where he held most of the power in the relationship. The couple only had two children, though the second was only birthed shortly before the war-and thus never really in Cherise's life. As a result, the man fixated on Cherise-more than he did with most other things, including her mother.

Through the same manners of manipulation that the mother had received, and having been born into such a family, Toft was almost entirely influenced by her father. It was because of this that she has a sometimes has an oddly ignorant view, and why she views social standards the way she does. However, her father was also a doctor involved in many discoveries and projects-even loosely participating in a few genetic issues. Therefore, it was also when he began to use her for certain tests-ensuring she could stand many illnesses and the like. Every time she succeeded in remaining healthy or recovering quickly, which happened nearly every time, her father treated her like a prodigy-especially when she was one of the few who was utterly unaffected by the pandemic of the New Plague-and yes, he exposed her to it. He also, having rather "traditional" views, insisted on her focusing more on female activities-namely looking pretty, being "proper" according to the standards for women(in his view), and cleaning the household. Based on this logic, she was told and did drop out of high school immediately-and before then had been failing most classes anyways, due to discouragement to care about it.

Despite the almost concrete dependence that she formed with her father, due to the style in which she was raised in the family, there was also a rebellious side created from the way she had been raised. It created a sort of irresistible attraction to the deeply scandalized taboo, taboo only because of her father's views, that aforementioned father always spoke against. This included any remotely sixually suggestive actions with a boy-from dating to six to marriage. This was due to the fact that Toft's parent wished to choose her spouse in a way that would be economically and genetically beneficial. However, that particular plan of his was ruined when she was impregnated by another boy who had recently shown persistent interest in her. The boy promptly lost interest and did his best to avoid her when realizing, to a full extent, of what Cherise's family was like-that was, an often wrathful and almost dictatorial father with a wife who was so obedient and complacent that one might think she had had a lobotomy.

Panicking, Cherise took a large sum of her father's money and left before he could ever know of the reality. It was this that prodded her to apply for Vault 114, and she's currently, temporarily waiting for the call to enter by living in a rather unpleasant apartment. By now she'll be having the child soon, and still isn't sure what to think of it.

Due to the way she was brought up, she knows little of anything other than cleaning-and in her current position, isn't willing to be a janitor. While this doesn't mean she won't be obtaining a job in the vault, her cushy position for simply having nice genetics(and that is the only reason she managed to make it in) has allowed her not be forced to take one up. And thus she'll be rather picky about it.

Is it too late to join?

It is never too late.

I think.

Indeed, this RP is always open to new characters and players. :] Though I'm just about to write up the first post to start it, as a note.

Name:Dominic Gambino
Gender:Male
Age:34
Skills:Dominic as a high ranking member of the Cosa Nostra is the Vault's secret antagonist. The fact that he worked for the Cosa Nostra is unbeknown to his fellow Vault Inhabitiants. Dominic is egotistical and ruthless in his pursuit of Wealth. He plans to take out another member of the Vault, but won't reveal who it is. He is strong with Pistols and Rifles and is very muscular.
Ranking: 47
Position: (Scientist, or Vault Dweller? If the latter, what is the character's job in the vault?)
Appearance: http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/669/1409023-tr_mafia2e3_061610_1500_16_super.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/trueenglishgent/mafia-2-demo-impressions-pc/30-57761/&usg=__DJe9p71tKPRYNi3P5WhPrpNCc6g=&h=337&w=600&sz=18&hl=en&start=22&zoom=1&tbnid=rSe4V74qNoGc2M:&tbnh=79&tbnw=140&ei=x5U3TciDG4K2hAfX16z7Ag&prev=/images%3Fq%3DVito%2BScaletta%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1B3GGLL_en-GBIE407IE415%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D516%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C518&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=752&vpy=256&dur=312&hovh=79&hovw=140&tx=113&ty=88&oei=qZU3TceRJtKwhAe4lYigAw&esq=11&page=2&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:22,s:22&biw=1366&bih=516
Personality:Dominic's methods to obtaining wealth are irrational as they are inhumane. He is zero-empathetic and will destroy anyone who stands in his way. Despite this, Dominic does show some morality. He doesn't kill innocent people and only takes out targets that are significant to his plan.

History: Dominic was born in New York and was always fascinated with the Mafia, growing up on the streets he idolized them but was discouraged by his parents that they were bad people. He saw the bloodshed and anarchy that they created, but this only further inspired him to join them. He wanted the glamorous lifestyle, with $1,000 suits and Speedy cars and a reputation so big that no one would give you trouble. That's what he craved for the most, the fear the Cosa Nostra imposed upon others. He wanted to be that domineering presence that showed superiority. He began to work some small time jobs when he was young for Tony Forelli who was like a father figure to him.

Tony showed Dominic the world of organized crime and implored Dominic to join the family once he was old enough, of course Dominic accepted. He became obsessed with hunting down his targets and the attention Tony showed him. Tony sat Dominic down and told him it wouldn't be easy, and once you're in you can't go back. Dominic didn't even ponder at the thought of it as he began to attend the Family meetings, in the process learning some traits of business along the way. His first contract was when he was twenty three as he had to take out Joey Clemente a rival mobster in the Clemente family. Dominic showed prowess and picked off Clemente with a Sniper Rifle as Tony's admiration increased for him, Dominic was taking care of a lot of the contracts that were given to him by the family. He wanted to make it to the top.

Dominic became a Made Man and ruthless enforcer for the Forelli Family and eventually became a Capo, but he was so secretive about his operations the general public didn't know. When the prospect of a Nuclear War had became apparent Dominic ensured his safety and brutalized one of the scientists to make sure he had a place for him in the vault, but the scientist was compensated with wealth. Two days before he entered Vault 114 Dominic began to prepare. He held his M1191 firmly, as Tony Forelli the Don of the Forelli family entered the room. Tony was disgusted with Dominic for not informing him he planned to enter a vault as they had not recieved entry. Tony promised Dominic he would regret this. The ruthless Dominic plunged a bullet into his former boss's skull as he left his home quickly. The Scientists were willing to leave Dominic into the Vault in exchange for funding he could provide for them. Dominic planned to continue his operations inside the Vault and recruit a few people to his cause.

I'll probably have to post tomorrow guys. Homework and the like.

Im intersted, is there still room? I read you were writing the first post and I would have written up a character but I just wanted to ask first.

Yep. Were just starting so you won't miss anything, go ahead and write it up.

I'm not the GM, but I'm pretty sure she would say the same thing.

Mouseking- Absolutely. :] As Yttrium said, the RP will always be open to both new characters and players. We've only just started, anyways.

Oh, and this is to everyone-for the record. If I'm gone, and you know I've already said you can or can't do that (and someone asks), you're allowed to deal with the situation yourself. So long as you're positive about the answer and all that jazz.

Lone Wanderer- I assume he would be placed as "Vault Dweller?" Fix the Position slot in the character sheet and you can join. :]
As a warning, though, don't go crazy with this. Also, I'd prefer you actually have a specific scientist who knows about him. It can't be my own scientist character, Ms. Appler, as she wouldn't go for that kind of thing. She's got plenty of Mr. Gutsys(and, if needed, other robots) around that she's not going to risk her job, well-being, etc. for the money/promise of temporary safety from a clearly violent man. As mentioned before, the Vault's whole administration wouldn't willingly let anyone in who's both a) not taken the ranking test(it sounds like that was the case, but I could be thinkin' wrong) and B) is violent enough to cause serious harm and/or death. Not when they're trying to use all the good genes for the best result and such. So just keep that as a reminder, if anyone causes serious trouble (and are caught), they're screwed-being stuck in a vault with both human and robotic guards, and some other deadly things.

And, of course, your character can cause trouble, I just wanted to make sure you understood the risks. As I will let characters have "forced" deaths(one's without the player's consent) if there's no hope for them and they don't take the opportunity to escape(there will be a warning if such a situation is about to happen, in which you can escape if you want to ensure safety, or risk a 99.9999% chance of death). This is simply to be realistic-although realism isn't really Fallout's thing, I know.

Question, what would a room be like around Tes's ranks?

Well, after some quick research, Tick's pregnant teen says she's living in a rather "unpleasant" apartment at rank 401. I'm not sure what unpleasant means but if I had to guess at your rank...slight above the bare necessities. Can't be sure though.

See, I thought ranks/rooms below something like 993 were supposed to be the lousy ones? Otherwise I will move the twins up a little higher

Yeah well I would say at around 900's you might have a two bed one bath apartment with maybe a computer and some other luxuries. But I can't be sure.
