Alan James Sutler

A 62 year old fanatical, sadist and technically the President of America.

Born aboard the Oil Rig in 2222 as the first and only son in the Sutler family, a long reaching family which has traditionally been apart of the Enclave since before the war. Joined the US Army and became a sharpshooter with a Gauss Pistol in Sergeant Granite's Enclave Control Company; helped the Chosen One escape by killing Frank Horrigan, hates himself for not noticing the disguised Chosen One activating the turrets with the Presidents Card. At Navarro after the loss of all his family he was taken pity on by Gannon Senior who took his in, Sulter was even present at the birth of his son Arcade. Joined Gannon's squad and fought with him under Captain Kreger, Johnson and Moreno. Remained at the Navarro garrison after most left for DC, was one of the last there, saw his friends escaping but after being angry stayed behind to cover their escape.

After Navarro Sutler drifted from place to place, waging a horrific guerilla war against the NCR, laying traps and torturing for pleasure many of his captures, found what happened to the Chosen One and tried to kill him in New Arroyo but failed and had to escape. Travelled along the Lonesome Road to DC to try and find the Enclave. After 1 year he reached Raven Rock and was awarded the Distinguish Service Cross, rose to become Colonel, settled down, got married and had a son and eventually stopped having flash backs to the battles in California. Became Secretary of Homeland Security, fought President Eden's sentry bots at Raven Rock before shutting him down, after Autumn died he became Acting President but the Enclave was doomed. Crippled by the lack of the ZAX computer, Raven Rock suffered sporadic power loss, lack of defensive systems and black-outs. Sutler once again was one of the last to leave when the Brotherhood and Prime attacked, still fighting with his Gauss Pistol he self-destructed the bunker; his family were amongst the many dead. Destroyed again he fought valently at Adams Airforce Base, even trying to kill the Lone Wandered with his ripper but the arrival of a Brotherhood Vertibird caused him to flee the destroyed Platform.

After Adams with nothing left, he tried to find survivors but couldn't, he set off back the way he came to California to get revenge on the NCR and the Chosen One for destroying the Enclave.

Quinton: My first and only complete play-through as of now.
I don't really actively roleplay him, as much as he kind of evolved to the character he is. He is originally from NCR territory, where he probably grew up on a ranch. Took the job as a courier for the pay, excitement and chance to travel. Recently came to the Mojave to work for Mojave express. An NCR sympathizer, he sees the faults but believes in the founding principals.
His time on the ranch and on the road thought him a thing or two about guns, repairing stuff and surviving of the land. Gradually evolved into a bit of a sniper throughout his New Vegas adventure, though he use several weapons as backup.

My next character will have planned backstory. She's from Vault-City and values independence. Her political views are a mix of old Vault-City and the NCR (not against the servants system as a penal system, views Vault-City as superior but recognizes their privileged position as a place to educate/aid others and believes a place should be able to hold to it's independence). Left that place because she clashed with those holding to old Vault-city views and the NCR's reforms(and reformists). She did some Courier work which had her ending up in the Mojave, where she decided to stay for now. She had some political ambition, but abandoned those when she left Vault-City.
She skilled in energy weapons and science because of her Vault-City upbringing and I'm kind of stuck on the third tag-skill. Speech, Sneak or Explosives (I'd like to try a bit more with Sneak and explosives this time around, but Speech makes more sense for the character).
Also I'll pump Medicine and Barter somewhat as a secondary.

Because I'm playing an Unarmed specialist using the overpowered-but-nonetheless-incredibly-fun http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36259, my current character, Erminhild, is an escaped cyborg soldier from the Commonwealth. I'm also using the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37228, which fits the theme. Effectively a slave in the Commonwealth, Erminhild escaped to be able to live her life as a free woman. The courier job was just a way to make some caps and get to New Vegas. After Benny shot her - well, vengeance must be had. But after the job was finished - the Platinum Chip delivered to Mr. House - she has no interest in the politics of the Mojave. (I'm just exploring and ignoring the main quest at this point.)

Mako Vlazkov uses traditional weapons, he has a preference for revolvers, lever/bolt action rifles, blades, and bombs. He is a good speaker if money is involved, and he sees nothing wrong with killing and stealing for money.
His mother was killed by his father when he was a 7, he killed his father when he was 14 and went out into the wastes, he joined Talon Company when he was 16 and quickly rose in rank, when he was 21 he led a strike team against the Super Mutants in DC, his team was killed by a Behemoth but he managed to collapse a building on it and proceeded to assault the Super Mutant encampment alone. When he returned to the Talon Company DC HQ, it had been attacked by the LW, he got on the radio and reorganized the troops. After the BoS-Enclave war was over and the Talon Company had taken Enclave installations, he pulled the troops out. After that, with the Enclave tech and scientists, they recuperated and grew into an army.

With these new resources, Mako made contact with the Talon Company HQ and sent over the spoils of war, the Talon Company now had the means of production, new Talon Company Shocktroopers wearing customized East Coast Enclave PA were introduced, but were rare do to the cost. Mako gained permission to take a contingent of the Talon Company to the West, at his disposal were 200 Talon Company mercenaries, 35 Talon Company Shocktroopers, 5 prototype Chimera Tanks (Cheaper than PA for Shocktroopers, oddly enough, but less useful and harder to use), and 1 customized Vertibird. He decided to scout the area and prepare the region for the Talon Company entrance as best as he could, finding a pre-war military installation for HQ was priority, but now vengeance is priority, and Benny will regret messing with the Talon Company.

My first character, Benjamin, was living in an unnamed town in the NCR with his mother and sister(whose personality was almost exactly the same as Veronica's, and who he often got into trouble with). His father, a ranger, was killed in 2279 while on tour in the Mojave by the Legion and his mother became hopelessly addicted to chems. One day, he convinces his sister that they should take their mom's chems and money and hide them in order to make her sober up. After doing this and going out for the night, he comes back to find his very high mother admitting that she was so desperate that she sold his sister to a couple of "men from the east" to get her fix. He grabs all his stuff and goes after, but first strikes his mother and unintentionally kills her.

He spends about a month tracking the men, eventually making his way to the Mojave. He finds his sister, abandoned, but after a month her mind has gone and she promptly grabs his weapon and kills herself with it. With no money left from his trek, he takes the courier job to finance the trip back west as well as a funeral for his sister. After getting shot in the head and eventually finding out that the men who took his sister were part of Caesar's Legion, he decides that he needs to stay in the Mojave to get revenge for himself and his family.

Pretty dark, I know, but I didn't just want to give a character living in a post-apocalyptic a "normal" childhood.

I'm waiting for a Biography going along the lines of this: My character was born in 2052 and somehow survived the Nuclear War and froze there self. They woke up sometime later in the Fallout era, everybody adored him Etc Etc... BULL. Seriously if role played a character like this on the forums, or an MMO well...

One of my playthroughs was with a very intelligent man, a scientist to be exact. But he got fired due to his drug use. He needed some work and so took up the job to deliver the package for Mr House. and well, we all know what happens after that.

fantastic?

He's employed.

I dont think you made it all up yourself *Ahem... Thane, ex assassin im sensing mass effect 2 :L

My Char:

Paladin Carmine - His squad were ambushed and killed just outside goodsprings he survived and then dedicated himself to finding his bretheren and starting a new squad whos goal is to make peace between the brotherhood and NCR, he eventually achieves this and marches on hoover dam to provide support, his best friend Veronica dies in the final battle however, distraught and blaming himself he prospers to be a better soldier and steps down from his roll of squad leader.

Weapons - Laser Rifle/Laser Pistol
Armour - Brotherhood T51-B Power armour and T51-B Power helmet

i forgot to mention that i did indeed take the name and ex-assassin idea from mass effect, but other than that, the rest i thought up (unless somehow ive deviated off of a game i dont remember in the dark recesses of my mind :ninja:

Heck why so bothered with new ideas, mine were..

A: Foxglove Lovelace, a bit M.A.S.H a bit FotA and a splash of 60's thinking.

B: Delaque, name and look based on Necromunda setting, same for the gang up bringing and combat specs.

Most other posts draw very heavily from other parts of FO, and not allways canonically.
It's how the character developes and the stories you make up rather than the outline you draw from imo.

this. +1

Still if you plan the character and it's outlines you can shape the story more, rather than just letting it evolve. Which means you are really roleplaying a character from the get-go.
Evolving the character is also a great way to go.

Wojak

He was the chief of Big Badmuthuhs back in Arizona, before the Legion conguered and assimilated his tribe. He fled west to the Mojave. Now his life goal is to punch Caesar to the dike. (Preferably with a ballistic fist.)

Yeah I agree, it's just I felt just becuase you draw heavily from something already established it does not make it any less unique.

For example I used M.A.S.H as the basis of my character.
All the background of two distinct groups with seperate goals in life, mixed together through circumstances out of their control.
Forming a family after the Apocalypse and creating something along th lines of the FotA.
But with the aim of surviving and supplying medicine and other chemicals to tribes either a threat or less well off.
Creating a kind of commune backed up with military training but a aim of spreading some joy and free love attitude to the wastes.

As I said anyone can post a general glimpse using another universes character;
It does not mean that they have not made up a thousand little details that no one else has to go with it.
Becuase sometimes putting your own ideas in form is far more difficult, despite having such a clear image in your mind.

I always play the good guy when I Roleplay, but doesn't mean I'm not capable of nasty things. XD I sometimes go 'ead 'unting...with NCR as the deer.

My character is the the son of Eve Evilson, my F 1, 2 and 3 character. 3 years before this story begins, Eve dies of elderliness. News of this shocks Charles, his son. One day, his father's friend, Max Stone, comes to visit. He says he's going to travel the U.S and he would like Charles to come along. Traveling, they stop at Nevada to buy food and pump gas into Highwayman. While there, a vendor catches Charles's attention. The vendor is announcing the grand opening of the Lucky 38 and that a man named Mr. House is looking for couriers. Looking back at Max, Charles runs off without giving himself away. After a long trip to Vegas, Charles meets the notorious Mr.House.
Life as a courier isn't so hard until an odd fellow named Benny shows up. He shoots Charles in the head. Hours later, a robot named Victor digs him up and revives him. Long story short, he killed Benny, and helps the NCR take control of Vegas. Later, empty handed, he travels in search of a so-called Sierra Madre Casino. He's kidnapped and he gets treasure for a greedy old man. After, he travels in search of home, proud of himself. But his pride is ruined when he walks into a strange cave somewhere in Virginia. These monsters with huge claws rip him to pieces. He died on 8/27/92 Let Him rest in piece in Goodsprings Cemetery. Unless a certain robot can ummm... pull some strings. *Wink*.

Delilah's bitter about the new face Doc Mitchell gave her, so she helped the Powder Gangers wipe out Goodspings and is helping the Legion, because they shun Western medicine.

Not really, I just made that up. My character did do those things, because she's bad, and she's an idiot....I didn't create a story beforehand about WHY she's bad, though.

Kage DeElephant
An Ex-Mercenary from down south who was banned from his merc group for ignoring policies againts killing women or children. Now he has found his place in the caesar's legion of the Mojave.

Gnl. Hawk
A former general of the U.S Military who was frozen pre-war with the orders to take control of the area in the case that Enclave power is not present.

Giovanni Lazereth
A former gangster from New Reno looking for money, girls, and power in the Mojave area.

Vaughn-A mercenary with his own causes. he works for the NCR because the pay is ok and he has nothing else to do with his time.
he isnt as much a soldier as a contractor who does odd jobs for them.

his parents were murdered by raiders up in Washington state. He only went to Nevada to see Vegas, but he has no intention of letting the legion spread.

He fears that they might spread farther west and eventually take the rest of his former friends and family.

(this is just the current one, i have about 3 others,....i will post them late,r.... they are a bit longer,.....ok a lot longer)

My character in Fallout 3 was an Enclave Official sent to D.C to right the wrongs of the Enclave installments in both Raven Rock and Calvert of Point Lookout; after having destroyed Raven Rock, dispatching a head Enclave scientist tinkering with Sat-Com machinery for her own ends, ridding the world of Calvert and removing the Enclave from D.C at Adams Air Force, he took what equipment and technology he had accumulated over time (including a vertibird) to head to New Vegas. The journey was harsh however and with his vertibird shot down by raiders, equipment worn away to nothing and ammo spent, he had no choice but to walk the wastes with a peculiar chip he had come across in his travels. That's when Benny and the Khans come in, the bullet to the head causing severe brain damage (this, alongside the constant travelling, explains the reset of skills). My character hunts those who oppose him whilst also once more accumulating a vast array of equipment; unfortunately there are no Enclave operatives in New Vegas and as such he must take residence in a dingy hotel room, slowly poisoning himself with alcohol, his only company a stuffed toy that often seemingly speaks back and a myriad of weapons stashed in various places around the room that could go off at a moments notice.

Weapon of choice: Single Shotgun - 2 hands, 9mm Pistol with scope - 1 hand, Hatchet - Melee.
Armor: In public he wears typical civilian attire with a cowboy hat and shades, often using a .357 with extended barrel as a sidearm. In combat or when travelling, reinforced leather and Legion recruit's helmet/hood (the two go together suprisingly well, I think.)

Well, now that it's written down here, I feel a lot better about RPing. Gracias.

My character came from Detroit (where he lived for his childhood) where his Musco-British descendants had been visiting in the year 2077, after they had survived by obeying instructions and hiding in a nuclear shelter they had formed a tribe with the rest of the survivors. he had lived as a helper for the local handyman, he took a great interest in conventional weapons and their maintenance as well as how to live off the land. At the age of 13 a man had arrived in a great flying machine called a vertibird. The man needed fuel, claiming that this was a prototype model he had found in a place called 'down south'. It ran on fusion power and as a result after several failed attempts they had it working again, scavenging replacement parts from nearby pre-war car factories. Nevertheless the pilot had fallen in love with a girl from the village and stayed an extra 4 years. In those our years the strange man told many stories of 'down south' Fabulous lights, amazing sights and hardly any cold weather. On the fourth year of his stay the man announced that he was heading home and some of them could travel with him, my characters family had volunteered to travel with him.

On the way to 'down south' the vertibird or Henry as it was now affectionately called had suffered a critical engine fail and the pilot had to land it, however he landed it too near a deathclaw hive and as a result attracted unwanted attention. It really changes how you see life, watching your family be ripped to shreds by deathclaws. Lucky for him my character had been hiding on top of a nearby hill, borrowing some binoculars looking for landmarks. After 2 days of roaming the wastes he was picked by a travelling mercenary band and trained in shooting straight (nobody from his tribe had any real combat experience). He was told that having combat experience was a useful virtue and shoved straight into a raider hideout. The last chem-addled marauder was reduced to little more then a whimpering insect, in the corner crying in a fetal position, before my character killed him then left. He had asked to have a stimpack, because he had been stabbed repeatedly at first, that was why he was pissed off at the raiders in the first place. The leader had refused and as a result was found the next day with his brains smashed in his gun missing and all the groups water either missing or else the containers would be next to a pile of wet sand. Footprints led straight to a sheer cliff and that was last seen of this Wasteland warrior. Apparently he grew a rough beard, and only takes jobs from people he likes, he is not the bravest of the brave, and does run away often. He has a deep fear of deathclaws, especially since he was stuck at Gypsum trainyard, at the top of a...thing with several deathclaws snapping at his heels and very little supplies (as I have already said.) he needed extra help for that.




Think Charon from fallout 3 but...Y'know, with a personality.

Mine isn't really too epic. Born in New Reno, never knew his dad, mother was a drug addict. Eventually got sick of his mother, left, ended up picking up a courier job from the NCR branch of the Mojave Outpost. At one point after a delivery to modoc he got lost in the dessert and ended up in the rooms of arryo. Inside the cave he found what looked like a shrine with an armored vault 13 suit, a weathered 10mm, and a vault 13 canteen. Stops back in New Reno after getting orientated and getting his pay for his modoc delivery. Finds out his mother died by getting stabbed by another junkie. Not devastated, but regretful that she couldn't have cleaned herself up and the two of them could have been closer. Ends up taking the job to deliver a platinum chip to the Strip. That's where the game begins.

Throughout the game, in his toughest moments, he just reminds himself that he's doing something meaningful most of the time. Afterall "before I got shot my only real skill was walking..."
