Name: Nick Parker

Age: 30

six: Male

Basic physical appearance and attributes: About 5' 10''. Very short black hair and dark, ominous brown eyes. Has an athletic and somewhat strong build but more of a smooth and slick build rather than a bulky and muscular body. Somewhat friendly, very charming, and rugged looking. Has a very prominent scar on his right cheek and several burn marks on his left arm.

Weapons

SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle w/ detachable scope, silencer, night vision scope, and desert camouflage.
Uzi 9mm w/ silencer and desert camouflage
Combat Knife

Armour
Thin cotton interior, thick leather exterior body armour with a wide range of flexibility. Has one screwdriver and 10 bobby pins in one pocket at all times and a strap to keep ammo.

Personality: Ruthless, very smart, and a natural charmer. Nick is outwardly very secretive, but however friendly to keep charming the person but inwardly, calculating and relentless. He's very persistent and can track down his targets relentlessly and carefully plan every infiltration. However, Nick's OCD ends up interfering with his work and has severe PTSD, causing terrible flashbacks and torment at night or in darkness.

Occupation: Infiltrator, Assassin, Thief.

Faction: Greyditch

Back story: Nick was born in Rivet City from an average family, with no real special traits or anything remarkable about him except for the mild OCD he inherited at birth. Until he turned 10 years old. In his family, it was a tradition to give the first born child a gun at 10 years old. When he got the gun, Nick proved to be a remarkable marksman genetically. Of course it still took him years to get the hang of shooting a gun but it became his sport, going Mirelurk hunting with his father once in a while.

But as the years went by, Nick started to wonder about life outside the Rivet City area as he had never before gone out of the D.C ruins except for those rare occasions when he went Mole Rat hunting. At 18 years of age, he left Rivet City and headed off to Megaton. There, he worked for a couple years as a mercenary for caravans and when he gained enough money, Nick bought a one of a kind sniper rifle, the SVD Dragunov and an Uzi 9mm.

With those two guns, he excelled in his trade before somebody saw his potential as an assassin after his excellent skills with a sniper rifle. Nick began to make a name for himself throughout the Wasteland.

But tragedy struck when a squad of assassins lead by Nick were butchered by a MASSIVE raider assault on the squad near Megaton. Although many raiders died in the assault, his squad was completely wiped out. Tired, beaten down, and dying, Nick was treated back to health in Doc Church's clinic but the faces of his dead friends still haunts him, making him overprotective of his new squad.

He settled down in Megaton, working as a freelance assassin, trying to continue like his squad would've wanted him to. But new blood started to join up with Nick again, and 4 assassins work as a squad now with Nick. But with his PTSD from Nick's dead squad, he acts like an overprotective father, never allowing for any dangerous mission. The most hyperactive and innocent one, Katie, is now pursuing a romantic relationship with Nick while he rejects her from the fear and torment of losing his current squad.

I haven't been on all day, but thanks for approving! I was worried he'd be a bit too overpowered, but I figured fighting wasn't a huge part of this. Not yet anyway. Can't wait!

@ Infantry. Yeah mate, If a character dies then I think it's ok to submit another. All the same rules from the signup would still apply. (approved by mysef and skirt, etc)

@ 'Zerker: Nice CS there mate. I can see Nick setting himself up in one of the ruined buildings on the outskirts of town, guarding the approaches to town and giving it the over protective father act for the whole town :thumbsup: . Provisionally accepted, just got to wait for Skirt to approve it too. EDIT: Could you write up a CS for Katie as well though please? I'm guessing she'll be an integral part of Nick's story.

@ Ergy: Good to have you involved mate. He isn't overpowered at all, it's a very good CS. And you figured right, there won't be much combat to begin with.

This will be my first RP,go easy on me

Name:Known only as "Drifter" Real name:Vincent Summers

Age:Middle aged,appears to be in his 50's

six:Male

Basic physical appearance and attributes:An old man with a tough demeanor,physically fit for his age despite his heavily deteriorated leg.

Weapons and armor:Lever-action rifle,Sawed-off shotgun,and his trusty old 44 Magnum.He is garbed in a Wasteland Settler Outfit,which is now not much more than rags.

Personality: A cold and unforgiving man,known to shoot first and ask questions later.He keeps to himself,although he has a soft spot for damsels in distress.This has gotten him into much trouble over the years,but this old dog just won't learn.

Occupation:Wanderer

Faction: Greyditch

Backstory: Drifter was born down south under then name of Vincent Summers.He was raised by his mother Shawna,a chem-addicted prosttute doing her nightly work in the Sunset Hotel,where they also lived.One night,when Vincent was 8,Shawna picked him up,gave him a kiss and told him to hide in the closet.After the crashes and screaming stopped,he crawled out to find his only parent lying brutally murdered in a pool of blood.The hotel owner found him there,cradling his mother in his arms.The hotel owner,who went by the name of Tim,raised the boy as his own in his household not far from the hotel.Vincent grew up quickly,by the age of 12 he had joined the ranks of a local gang,and spent his nights with his friends,harassing local traders and pickpocketing the unwary.When Vincent was 14,he was fed up with living with Tim and his wife Sonia.He stole Tim's 44 Magnum,50 caps and enough food for a few days,and strode out into the wasteland.

For the first few years,Vincent's life was rough.He survived on the hospitality of traveling merchants,and he picked up whatever information he could use to survive from them.When they inquired his name and origins,he simply replied that he had none.He would sit at their campfires,eat and listen,and then be gone,like a shadow into the night.Traders on the southern roads took to calling him Drifter.Vincent stuck to the roads,keeping his trusty 44 Magnum at his side,and living off the land.He did not know where he was going,nor did he care.He was simply going.After years and years of walking,he saw a trader on the side of a path one day,feeding and watering his Brahmin.When Vincent inquired where he was,the trader told the young man he was in Tennessee.Vincent kept on walking through Tennessee,eventually coming to a settlement called Ashy Hills.Here,he met a woman in the local saloon,by the name of Tara.Vincent caught Tara's eye,and she came over to talk to him.She told him she was traveling to D.C. to meet up with her brother Gage,and would love a big,strong man such as him to accompany her.Vincent was instantly in love.Vincent and Tara set off a few weeks later.Tara took a liking to Vincent,and they soon fell in love.Vincent had never been so happy in his life.While traveling through the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia,Tara and Vincent encountered a lone deathclaw.Tara fled,but Vincent stood his ground.The Deathclaw charged at Vincent,and took a strong swipe at him with his huge claw,decimating Vincent's leg,before rushing towards Tara.Vincent rolled over,in a daze,to see the Deathclaw catch up to Tara and rip her apart.Vincent blinked back the tears and started firing madly with his 44 Magnum,catching the Deathclaw in the eye.As the Deathclaw thundered towards him,Vincent managed to load his last bullet in his 44 Magnum and felled the beast with a perfect shot to the head.Dragging himself towards Tara's body,he could not help feeling a strong sense of Deja Vu.

Vincent wrapped up his leg and stumbled on towards D.C.When he finally got there,he didn't know what to do besides hunker down and do what he did best,live off the land.After another 10 years of this,Vincent began to notice how old he was getting,and decided to find a quiet settlement to hunker down in for the rest of his years.A trader pointed him in the direction of Megaton.On his way there,he snatched a flyer,drifting in the wind.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CAPITAL WASTELAND.

I, Colin Moriarty, am pleased to announce that I have recently acquired the abandoned settlement of Greyditch.
There are several exciting opportunities for skilled workers within this new community.
We need builders, masons, plumbers, carpenters and other tradesmen to rebuild the town.
There will also be positions for cooks, farm hands and shopkeepers.
In return for work you will receive food and accommodation, at greatly reduced cost.
If you are interested then please come to see me at my bar in Megaton, or report directly to the welcoming committee in Greyditch.



Vincent didn't think that sounded too bad.He realized he wouldn't be of much use,but he could certainly find some sort of trade.Excited to finally belong somewhere,he ambled on in the direction of Greyditch.

Character Sheet:

Name: Jesse Christophe

Age: 42

six: Male

Basic physical appearance and attributes: Tall, gruff looking bearded man with several scars across his face and body. Brown hair cut very short, and deep set, dark eyes. Skin tanned from exposure to the sun. Usually wears a a T-shirt and cargo pants along with boots, but throws on a duster when going outdoors.

Weapons and armour: Chinese Assault Rifle slung across back, and .44 Magnum as back-up. Relatively experienced in hand-to-hand combat.

Personality: Grim and bitter most of the time, but has a strong sense of right and wrong. He is very caring and emotional, but never shows it; keeping to himself at all times. Very reclusive and enigmatic, but polite and courteous at the same time. He is however a very heavy drinker.

Occupation: Ex-Regulator

Faction: Greyditch

Backstory: Jason is a third generation Regulator who has finally gotten too old to go on. He wants to continue the legacy of his name, but as he has no offspring; is resigned to life of loneliness. Although a successful Regulator in his time, he feels like his life was a waste, and often contemplates suicide. He came to Greyditch for one final effort to make a difference in the world. To help guard a new and upcoming settlement, and perhaps have his name live on forever; in it's prosperity. And maybe... just maybe... he could find a mate, and have a child of his own, who he can make a Regulator.

(I know it's not all that developed, but It's all I can think up for now. How do you like it?)

Name: Pawnee

Age: 18

six: Male

Basic physical appearance and attributes: 5’10. Lanky. Short brown hair, brown eyes. Tan skin. Large burn marks on both arms. Tattoo down the center of his back, tracing his spine, in a tribal design. Very good with guns, explosives, and setting traps. He can barely read and has little clue as to how to use most terminals.

Weapons and armour: Chinese Assault Rifle. 10mm. Two frag grenades. Three mines. Bouie knife. Merc Veteran armor and wasteland wanderer’s robes. Always travels with his dog, Buck.

Personality: Cocky, cold, and unpredictable. May insult others just to get a reaction. Overtly disrespectful to those in authority. Obsessive when it comes to his dog, Buck, and his possessions – always worried someone will steal them.

Occupation: Scavenger / wasteland hustler :D

Faction: Moriarty? More of an opportunist – will side with whichever side presents more personal opportunity.

Backstory:

Pawnee grew up in the backwoods of Virginia. His mother and father died when he was thirteen, and he spent the next three years scavenging the wasteland with his older brothers, Lakota and Cree. Both of Pawnee’s brother’s joined up with a band of raiders down in Norfolk, but Pawnee hated their leader, Chomper. Late one night, Pawnee killed Chomper as he slept. He then ran away from Norfolk and his brothers, slowly wandering north towards the capital wasteland.

Along the way, Pawnee found a puppy, who he named Buck. He has raised the scrappy golden retriever ever since.

Upon arriving in the capital wasteland, Pawnee settled in Big Town. For a while, he made a living scavenging from the wasteland and selling his scavenge to Big Town residents at lower prices than the caravans. Soon, he fell in love with a local girl name Bittercup, and the two of them were together for several months, until Bittercup went missing.

Pawnee has spent the past month on an extended scavenging run. While scavenging, he’s also been searching the wastes for Bittercup. He has decided to take a break in his search to follow a mysterious flier to the town of Greydicth in search of wealth, fame, and clues about what happened to his lost love.

@ 4bucks, Holy Assassin, Surfer & Paladin Lewis. All really good CSs guys. I'm provisionally accepting all of them, but Skirt will have to ok them too.

Paladin Lewis, could I ask you to write up a CS for Sue as well please, It doesn't have to be as in depth as James's sheet, if she is going to be more of a background chr, but I'm guessing she'll be involved with the town too. Cheers mate.

Heh, that would be cool. Although Jesse isn't exactly much of an assassin. He's pretty much the ideal caricature of a retired bounty hunter.

(And since I didn't exactly make it clear; he wants to be a guard of some sort. If there's no possible post like this; I could edit in some other skill which he might come to apply for)

Assassin -- well, I was generalizing, as a joke. ;) Also, pretty much every job you can think of is open. Greyditch has been empty for a very long time, I'm sure there are all kinds of hostiles -- human and otherwise -- that still use it as part of their game trail.

Assassin, as skirt just said, pretty much all jobs are still available in town. If you want him to be a guard then have him approach Joe IC and ask about it. Joe is head of town security, so he'll be able to help. :thumbsup:
