Fallout: Into the Mutant's Den

[Foxfyr]

WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS SAVE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE VOICED THEIR INTEREST BEFORE THE CUTOFF.  IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE THE CUTOFF BUT STILL WISH TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE SEND ME A PM AND I WILL PUT YOU ON A WAITING LIST IN CASE A SPOT OPENS UP.





The Capital Wasteland. Those who’ve played Fallout 3 will immediately recognize that name and recall the images of the irradiated desert surrounding the scorched and crumbling metropolitan ruins of Washington D.C. It’s a place I’ve spent many hours exploring (and dying) in myself, and by degrees I came to think that such a fascinating place with such a rich mythos might be a good setting for our own unique adventure.

This RP will be run by BigBadWolf and myself.  I am the one who guides the story, Wolf will be the one in charge of the combat system (which he will explain).  But before I go into any more detail on what my plans are, allow me this: For the benefit those of you who are unfamiliar with the story of the Fallout Universe, and for the sake of this OOC, I’d like to take the time to set the stage for you. A bit of a history lesson but bear with me, please.





Background:

War. War never changes.



The year is 2275, or so it is believed.  Ever since the bombs dropped nearly two-hundred years ago, lighting up the planet in bursts of nuclear fire, time held little meaning.  Major cities in China, the USSR, and the United States were rendered into nothing more but dust and rubble in less than two hours.  The resulting nuclear winter killed off nearly everything else.  The geography and climate of the Earth was changed significantly. Entire mountain ranges were created as the ground buckled and moved under the strain of the cataclysmic pressure produced by numerous, concentrated atomic explosions. Rivers and oceans around the world were contaminated with the resulting radioactive fallout released by the relatively low-yield nuclear weapons used by all sides, and the climate changed horrifically. All the regions of the Earth, regardless of their location, suffered from a single, permanent season once the initial dust blasted into the atmosphere by the nuclear explosions had settled - a scorching, radioactive desert summer.



Throughout the United States, underground bunkers were established as safe havens for those rich and famous enough to afford them.  These people resided in their shelters for well over a hundred years before even the first Vault Dweller stepped foot onto the Earth’s surface.  Some established fortified cities thanks to the Garden of Eden Creation Kit that each Vault was supplied with.  Most either suffered problems during the century that resulted in the annihilation of the entire population residing within or deemed the anarchy of the world to be too dangerous and opted to seal themselves in their reinforced shell.



Those who were showered with high levels of radiation and were unfortunate enough to survive became Ghouls, though their body and minds decayed over the centuries, the radiation all but stopped their aging.  Every ghoul that is alive today were the very same people who had witnessed the day the Earth was cast into a Nuclear Holocaust.  There are also a wide array of creatures who had managed to survive the radical climate change, though their appearances scantly resemble their former ancestors.  Their forms changed by the radiation to suit their needs to survive the wasteland with savage claws and sheer size.



Despite the hardships of the global cataclysm, a small percentage of humanity was able to endure.  These people were forced to carve whatever shelter they could to protect them from the horrors that lurked in the wastes, be it murderous raiders, savage creatures, or rogue robots.  All but a select few of this class live impoverished and struggle to maintain law and order within their city walls.  Some embrace the lawlessness of the land, becoming raiders or slavers that seek nothing but their own survival at the cost of those around them.  Fewest of all make a living by wandering the wastes, living day by day immersed in the dangers of the land as they seek their own means of survival.  Scavenging the ruins of a dead planet for food and goods, their shelters consist of whatever they manage to come across by nightfall and are rarely revisited.



Such is life on the ruined planet, scorched by the technology of humanity whose few surviving descendants are forced to reap what their kind had sown so long ago…

Our Story:

Rivet city is the largest human settlement in the Capital Wasteland, carved out of the remains of a ruined aircraft carrier.  The only way to access its interior is through a motorized gangway and when combined with the significant number of patrolling guards, it makes it one of the safest places to reside.  Everything from merchant stalls to a well-funded science and medical lab could be found nestled in the belly of the armored hauls.  Most of the ships interior is accessible to its citizens, though there are still several places that have been sealed from even security personnel.  Although most of these sections are locked off because of the damage and decay it had suffered over the centuries, there are a handful that are done so due to the volatile contents that lie dormant and away from prying humans.

One such location can be found directly below Rivet City’s marketplace.   It was inevitable that some mischievous scavengers would work sneak their way past the patrols and security measures to get to these restricted sections of the ship.  On this particular day, at the peak hours of business, one such scavenger had been rummaging around in one of the ship’s munitions caches for arming jets.  In the process of rummaging, the person caused the payload storage to detonate inflicting massive damage to the surrounding rooms.  The steel floor of the marketplace became a torrent of shrapnel that killed a few but wounded dozens of citizens, travelers, and personnel alike.

The medical clinic is overwhelmed with the wounded and dying, although they had enough supplies to stabilize most of them, they do not have what they need to ensure their survival by the end of the week.  The Rivet City council knows of a reserve of medical supplies located in The Capital Mall, but lacks the able bodies to retrieve it.  It was impossible to find a group of volunteers to do it because The Mall is now a bombed-out warzone occupied by Super mutants. The park itself has been replaced by a series of trenches, fences and bunkers in fortified positions where the Super mutants  are entrenched. Crossing this part of The Mall will involve heavy combat, but the various Metro stations on each side of this zone offer relatively safe passage.  Seeing no other choice, they send out a radio broadcast across the Capital Wasteland offering a generous reward for all who aided in the mission to retrieve the medical supplies.

How should our applications look? Name, Age, Gender, Personality, Appearance, Background. Am I missing something?

[Ironwolf85]

could be interisting, let's see where it goes...

[Foxfyr]

BigBadWolf will provide the character templates... whenever he gets on next <_<;

[TheHangedOne]

You know, just the other day, I was thinking it would be fun to play a Fallout RP. Count me in, please!

Edit: Addendum: Something that may be of interest, it allows you to plan out a F3 character build online. Very simple and easy to use. http://vault106.com/

Color me interested in this.

[BigBadWolf]

To clear things this will be a system based game, but don't let this frighten those who are unfamiliar with. Before I continue I can help anybody with the system, so you can ask here or PM me. But I preffer to use this topic. So the rulebook can be find here:
http://www.paforge.com/submissions/fallout/fallout_pnp_2_0.pdf

When I refer to pages in the book it's the pdf's page number not the book's itself. This way you jump the right page.

Before I move to details later today I'll post my character here so you will see how should it look like, and I hope it will help to create your own. I post here a short guide how to make your character. For those who played any kind of Fallout game it will be enough but I tried to made this useful who don't have any experience with Fallout yet. There is six not so difficult steps to create your character. (Every character will be human and I created these steps to consider that)

Step 1

First you must decide what kind of character want to play. If you had the basic idea of your character it will help a lot to create the system based elements. So what is required:

Name
Age
Gender
Appearance
Background
Personality

Step 2

For now every character will be human so you don't have to choose race. So the first step to create your primary statistics. I'll also refer them as attributes. A character has the following attributes (more info at page 15):

Strength
Perception
Endurance
Charisma
Intelligence
Agility
Luck

Each of them starts at 5 point and you can distribute 5 points them. So you can raise a certain attribute. However you can decrease them too and the point you have subtracted can be added on a different attribute. For example you don't want a strong character so you decrease your Strength by 1 and that point can be added another attribute. Each attribute can not be lower than 1 and higher than 10 (and is true in later too). You can check yourself after you adjusted your attributes by sum them. If the result is equal 40 then you distribute all of your available points.

Step 3

You've now got the primary statistics, now you have to calculate the secondary statistic. (For more detail see page 17):

Hit Points (HP): 15 + (STR + (2 x EN))
Hit Points per level: 3 + (1/2 * EN) (rounded down)
Armour Class (AC): AG
Action Points (AP): Based on Agility, see the table below.
Carry weight: 25 x STR lbs.
Melee Damage: Based on strength, see table below.
Poison Resistance: 5 x EN
Radiation Resistance: 2 x EN
Gas Resistance: 0 / 0
Electricity Resistance: 30%
Damage Resistance: 0%
Sequence: 2 x PE
Healing Rate: Based on Endurance, see table below.
Critical Chance: LK

Action points Agility     AP    1 5 2 - 3 6 4 - 5 7 6 - 7 8 8 - 9 9 10+ 10

Melee Damage      Strength         Melee Damage    1 - 6 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10 5 11 6 12 7

Healing rate Endurance Healing rate 1 - 5 1 6 - 8 2 9 - 10 3 11+ 4

As you see these statistics based on the attributes. If you not satisfied with your secondary statistics you may adjust you attributes, but make sure you not break any rule what was described there.

Step 4

It's time to calculate your skills (for more details see page 19). There is not much to do just calculate them.

Small guns	5% + (4 x AG)
Big guns	0% + (2 x AG)
Energy weapons	0% + (2 x AG)
Unarmed	30% + (2 x (AG + STR))
Melee	20% + (2 x (AG + STR))
Throwing	0% + (4 x AG)
First Aid	0% + ( 2 x (PE + EN))
Doctor	5% + (PE + IN)
Sneak	5% + (3 x AG)
Lockpick	10% + (PE + AG)
Steal	0% + (3 x AG)
Traps	10% + (PE + AG)
Science	0% + (4 x IN)
Repair	0% + (3 x IN)
Pilot	0% + (2 x (AG + PE))
Speech	0% + (5 x CH)
Barter	0% + (4 x CH)
Gambling	0% + (5x LK)
Outdoorsman	0% + (2 x (EN + IN))

Again you may adjust your attributes. Once you've done you must choose 3 tag skills. Whichever skill you choose it gets a +20% bonus and later you can increase this skill twice faster than non tag skills.

Step 5 [optional]

You can choose traits to your character if you wish. You can find the traits list and descriptions in the rulebook at page 12. You could have maximum two traits, but you can choose only one or none at all.

Step 6

Now that your character statistics is done, you need to buy your equipment. In the wasteland real money is a rare thing so they use bottle caps as money. You can find the equipment list at page 75. Consider each item price as bottle caps. You start with 5000 bottle caps. You can buy anything, however you had to explain in your background if you buy high tech stuff.
To make things easier I also created four starting kits for various types of characters, so you can pick one. Or you can pick one keep most of the items and sell a few of them. You will get their value in bottle caps and you can buy something else. I also added a few useful equipment, which are not in the rulebook.

It's good, but as you see we use the older but more detailed system.

[schnookums]

Might be interested in this. I will ask the inevitable questions; adult content, or just violence and explodeyness?

[Kaizen]

I'm interested.  I'll start reading the rulebook and coming up with character ideas.

[elfguy]

I don't typically play system games but Fallout 3 is one of my most fav games ever so I will get something up for this.

Name: Jane

Age: 20

Gender: F

Appearance: http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Girls-with-6-packs-23.jpg

Background: Jane was born in Megaton, and lived her childhood there. However, all her life she's wanted to leave the closed walls and explore the wasteland. At 16, she equipped herself, and left town. Through her travels, she got very familiar with the various locations of the wasteland, and got pretty good at handling herself. However, the loneliness was hard to endure, so when she heard the call for a group of volunteers, she decided to accept.

During her travels, the very first serious weapon (other than wooden bats and steel bars) was a super sledge, which she found on a group of dead Brotherhood of Steel members. Her already fit physic allowed her to use it almost exclusively, and through fighting mostly with the heavy weapon, she has become quite strong.

Personality: She is outgoing, very social, and playful. However, if pushed, she can get quite dominant and ruthless when the need arises. She's not the most intellectual girl, preferring action over long thought processes, and often speaks her mind openly, even when she shouldn't. She is fairly skilled with various weapons, but often prefers to take a good melee weapon and bash her enemy's skull open. She is strong enough to defend herself in the wasteland. She is also very resilient and rarely turns down a challenge.

[TheHangedOne]

Name: Grim
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Blonde haired, blue eyed, with a  medium build. He bears a small scar on his forehead that looks like it could have been from some sort of slashing attack. He has several similar scars on his chest, though his clothing hides it.

Personality: Eccentric and neurotic.
Background: Grim was born the son of a traveling merchant, and it was expected that he would, one day, take over the business. His father made sure he led a good life, and learned much about  business... lessons which, really, he didn't pay much attention to. Ever since he was a teenager, Grim has been rebelling against his father, not wanting the path in life he follows to be picked  for him.

So one day while his father was leaving for a particularly long journey, Grim decided he was going to help himself to the private cap stash in the house, leave his father a note, stock up on things around his town, and headed north. He has recently arrived in the Capital Wasteland, unsure of where he has come from, or where he is going.

Being an introvert has led him to take well to the lonely existence of traveling, though necessity has often seen him working with others. After all, it is very, very easy to get killed out in the Wasteland.  Grim only just arrived to Rivet City, having come here with a group of other travelers who continued on their way elsewhere. He didn't really trust them much, but oh well. Who can you trust these days, anyways?

He has adventured for nearly a year now, and he continues to adventure, hanging onto what some may call a childish and foolish hope. He hopes that one day, he will find a place that is perfect. Maybe not Eden, or Paradise, or any of those things people talk about... but just some place that is perfect to him.

His special gun (the modified MP5) was designed by an expert weaponsmith in his home town for him.

Name: Kitai
Age: 23
Gender:  Female
Appearance:

Background: Ever since she was a child, Kitai had been a trouble maker as she grew up in the city of Megaton.  She was notorious for getting into places where she didn’t belong.  Both of her parents died when she was young when their trading caravan was overtaken by Super Mutants.  She had opted to remain home from that particular trip, a decision that saved her life.  For the next few years, she was raised by a family friend, Doroga, who worked as a merchant in the town.  Although Kitai lived on her own, Doroga looked after her and hired her as an errand runner just to give her something to occupy her time.  The layout of Megaton allowed Kitai to hone her abilities in parkour for the sake of getting around quickly while performing her task.  As she grew, she became bored with simply running errands and had taken up the art of larceny.  It was only a matter of time until her skills were noticed by those like her and she was offered a membership to the Thieves' Guild.  After being told all the benefits that comes with membership, Kitai eagerly accepted and enjoyed all the new toys and fences she had access to.
Personality: Whereas stealing is a way to provide for her basic needs, mischief is her primary form of entertainment; she lives to see the reactions of her victims.  Kitai’s actions are well calculated to be both efficient and flawlessly timed whenever possible, she does not lend herself well to impulsive decisions.  Despite her lighthearted nature, it isn’t uncommon for her to get on the nerves of other people at times due do her skepticism, sarcastic comments, and foolish games. Despite whatever hostility she incurs from her friends, Kitai is always willing to apologize or forgive and will remain unyieldingly loyal to them.  Although she is a kleptomaniac, she still has a conscious that makes her tolerable to the citizens and prevents her from joining a gang of raiders.  All of her marks are able to spare what she takes, only affected by the inconvenience of having to replace it; though there are a few instances where she sees something particularly eye-catching that she cannot resist but to own.  Kitai goes to great lengths to avoid injuring anybody she steals from, unless she considers them to be bad people.  In the latter, she holds no reservations to taking all she can and will not hesitate to defend herself with lethal force.

Appearance: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/290/0/5/Post_Apocalyptic_by_poibuts.jpg
Background: Maka was raised by Jason, one of the guards of Rivet City, after he saved her from the raiders that killed her father taken her mother just outside the border of Rivet City. Growing up with Jason as a role-model Maka became familiar with weapons and eventually joined the security forces when she came of age. With the recent accident, Maka was stunned by the lack of volunteers willing to go and retrieve the medical supplies needed. Maka had her mind set to go however, for Jason was one of the ones injured in the accident and needed those supplies. She also knew that if Jason was able he would of went on the mission himself, no matter how bleak the odds were.
Personality: Maka is a stoic and brooding individual, who always expects the worse. She is distrusting of strangers and never gives people the benefit of doubt. Even among people she knows she is mostly quite and aloof, as if unsure if her interacting would upset people.

Do technical traps like gun turrets count as traps or as subjekt to the repair skill?

Wolf is going to have confirm this, but I would assume those remain under the traps skill.

[BigBadWolf]

I'm glad to see so many people to intrest our game and even the system based thing didn't chase them away. I'm sorry I write this late, but my internet connection died so I couldn't post my character as an example, but I see you figured it out nicely.
However I have intentions to make some kind of character sheet, then I can PM the code who feel s/he would post that way. I think when all character is ready we could start another thread just for the characters.

[BigBadWolf]

Do technical traps like gun turrets count as traps or as subjekt to the repair skill?

It's repair skill. Some technical traps could be disarm with the traps skill, like explosives. But very high tech or very complicated traps require repair skill and a turret is rather a defense system than trap.

[Foxfyr]

I would like everybody to have character sheet up by the end of Wednesday so that we fan finally get this RP rolling.  If Ironwolf85 and Schnookums do not have their characters up by then, then I will likely pull in some people who are on the waiting list to fill their slots.  If you need more time for whatever real life issue arises, send me a PM so that I know you still intend on filling one out and the cause for your delay and I'll take it into consideration.

Name: Christian Aerlon (The pocket man)
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance:
He is a tall guy with short brown hair and brown eyes. He looks at least 30 years old or more, because his tough life. His clothes look dirty but if someone examine them with care it will turn out that they are in good condition. They could also notice that his clothes have a lot of pockets. Larger or smaller they are everywhere. Even on his armour.

Personality: He usually silent and don't like being in the center of attention. At least not any more. He couldn't trust people easily he rather trust machines.

Background:
Christian was born in a small town named Twilight Star. From his childhood he was interested in any kind of technology. Lucky for Christian Twilight Star was founded just about two hours from a ruined city. Most of the people of Twilight Star were scavengers, who went to the ruined city and brought back anything what has a value.
From a young age of 12 Christian frequently accompany his father on his trips to the city. But Chris not just wanted to find valuable items but to make them work. Mostly he figured out things on his own since there wasn't anybody who could teach him. At the age of 20 he was a good technician and became a big help of the city.
Twilight Star flourished and more and more people settle down. Of course the town's wealth didn't remained unnoticed. Raiders began to attack the town. The townsfolk tried to resist but it was futile. The raiders took what they worked so hard and killed many of them.
At that point the leaders of Twilight Star started to pondering the idea, they had to leave the area. But a day before they could make the decision something unexpected happened. A vehicle, a functioning vehicle arrived in the town. They were members of the Brotherhood of Steel. They made the deal with leaders. They ensure the protection of the town for exchange supply and fresh recruits.
Amazingly the Brotherhood kept his word and not just defended the town but also wiped the raiders out of the area. It was time for Twilight Star to keep up bargain. Christian was the first ones who joined the Brotherhood. His parents and the leaders didn't like the idea, because he was a fine technician. However Christian couldn't be happier because he knew he had the opportunity to work and to know the most advanced technology in the wasteland.
He learned much at the Brotherhood. But maybe the most important knowledge he acquired the ability of reading. He also learned how two drive various vehicles and of course how to repair them. They also taught him how to fight, because no member of the Brotherhood could be lack of fighting skills.
As time passed he became a leader of a squad. They completed a few successful missions. Then trouble struck again. After a mission on their way home to the bunker Super mutants attacked them. They caught them by surprise. Three men of his team had died the rest were injured. There was no way to save their equipment and the Humvee so as the leader he decided to destroy it. So the mutants couldn't use it either.
The managed to reached the bunker, however the general who was in charge in the bunker was very displeased with his performance. The Brotherhood examined what happened and they decided it was Christian fault. He was the leader and on top of that he drove the car. The rules of the Brotherhood of Steel were very strict. It helped a little that Christian destroyed the Humvee and probably this act saved him from execution. However just throwing him out wasn't a good idea because he still was one of best technician. So the general decided he make an example out of him.
At sunrise in front of the whole bunker they told the charges against Christian, then they burned a sign on his left scapula with an incandescent iron. Then they placed him one of the Brotherhood's labour camps. It was the Brotherhood terminology to salves. However in these camps were raiders, bandits and other defeated enemies of the Brotherhood. Because of it they made his life a hell. Every day they beat Christian and he was frequent guest in the infirmary.
But after two months of endurance and planning he managed to escape from the camp. He left the area and headed east. He knew very well he can't return to his home because the Brotherhood would look him for there first. So he started wander in the wasteland. He accepted any kind of work. Mostly he helped towns and cities to repair whatever was needed. Of course he avoiding any kind of contact to the Brotherhood.

Name: Jane

Age: 20

Gender: F

Appearance: http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Girls-with-6-packs-23.jpg

Background: Jane was born in Megaton, and lived her childhood there. However, all her life she's wanted to leave the closed walls and explore the wasteland. At 16, she equipped herself, and left town. Through her travels, she got very familiar with the various locations of the wasteland, and got pretty good at handling herself. However, the loneliness was hard to endure, so when she heard the call for a group of volunteers, she decided to accept.

Personality: She is outgoing, very social, and playful. However, if pushed, she can get quite dominant and ruthless when the need arises. She's not the most intellectual girl, preferring action over long thought processes, and often speaks her mind openly, even when she shouldn't. She is fairly skilled with various weapons, but often prefers to take a good melee weapon and bash her enemy's skull open. She is strong enough to defend herself in the wasteland. She is also very resilient and rarely turns down a challenge.

I checked your character and find a few problems. You miscalculated your Gambling and Melee skills. Your critical chance is also lower with 1%.
The leather armor costs only 700 not 900 which means you have 200 bottle cap extra.
In the super sledge hammer description the book mentioned the item is produced by the Brotherhood of Steel. You should write a few words in your background how your character could obtain one.

Name: Grim
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Blonde hbaired, blue eyed, witha  medium build. He bears a small scar on his forehead that looks like it could have been from some sort of slashing attack. He has several similar scars on his chest, though his clothing hides it.

Personality: Eccentric and neurotic.
Background: Grim was born the son of a traveling merchant, and it was expected that he would, one day, take over the business. His father made sure he led a good life, and learned much about  business... lessons which, really, he didn't pay much attention to. Ever since he was a teenager, Grim has been rebelling against his father, not wanting the path in life he follows to be picked  for him.

So one day while his father was leaving for a particularly long journey, Grim decided he was going to help himself to the private cap stash in the house, leave his father a note, stock up on things around his town, and headed north. He has recently arrived in the Capital Wasteland, unsure of where he has come from, or where he is going.

Being an introvert has led him to take well to the lonely existence of traveling, though necessity has often seen him working with others. After all, it is very, very easy to get killed out in the Wasteland.  Grim only just arrived to Rivet City, having come here with a group of other travelers who continued on their way elsewhere. He didn't really trust them much, but oh well. Who can you trust these days, anyways?

He has adventured for nearly a year now, and he continues to adventure, hanging onto what some may call a childish and foolish hope. He hopes that one day, he will find a place that is perfect. Maybe not Eden, or Paradise, or any of those things people talk about... but just some place that is perfect to him.

His special gun (the modified MP5) was designed by an expert weaponsmith in his home town for him.

Name: Kitai
Age: 23
Gender:  Female
Appearance:

Background: Ever since she was a child, Kitai had been a trouble maker as she grew up in the city of Megaton.  She was notorious for getting into places where she didn’t belong.  Both of her parents died when she was young when their trading caravan was overtaken by Super Mutants.  She had opted to remain home from that particular trip, a decision that saved her life.  For the next few years, she was raised by a family friend, Doroga, who worked as a merchant in the town.  Although Kitai lived on her own, Doroga looked after her and hired her as an errand runner just to give her something to occupy her time.  The layout of Megaton allowed Kitai to hone her abilities in parkour for the sake of getting around quickly while performing her task.  As she grew, she became bored with simply running errands and had taken up the art of larceny.
Personality: Whereas stealing is a way to provide for her basic needs, mischief is her primary form of entertainment; she lives to see the reactions of her victims.  Kitai’s actions are well calculated to be both efficient and flawlessly timed whenever possible, she does not lend herself well to impulsive decisions.  Despite her lighthearted nature, it isn’t uncommon for her to get on the nerves of other people at times due do her skepticism, sarcastic comments, and foolish games. Despite whatever hostility she incurs from her friends, Kitai is always willing to apologize or forgive and will remain unyieldingly loyal to them.  Although she is a kleptomaniac, she still has a conscious that makes her tolerable to the citizens and prevents her from joining a gang of raiders.  All of her marks are able to spare what she takes, only affected by the inconvenience of having to replace it; though there are a few instances where she sees something particularly eye-catching that she cannot resist but to own.  Kitai goes to great lengths to avoid injuring anybody she steals from, unless she considers them to be bad people.  In the latter, she holds no reservations to taking all she can and will not hesitate to defend herself with lethal force.

I've checked your character and find the following problem:
- It's not really a problem I guess it was nowhere to find. Humans gain perks every 3 levels, so your Skilled perk modifies this to every 4 levels not 5.

Note: The scalpel grants the bonus only when the injury requires thew use of it.

I began to check your character and it looks like you didn't modify your attributes according to your traits. You should add 1 to all except Perception because of the Tech wizard trait. Because of this I didn't checked your other stats.
As for the Reaver armor you need to say a few words about it. Reavers are smaller than the Brotherhood of Steel but they worship technology even more than the Brotherhood boys.

[BigBadWolf]

Yes they may agreed to that bargin. But lets say she needed that armor and the price was higher then it should be. (In game terms it change nothing so it won't cost you more money)

[Ironwolf85]

nah I got enough rping going on lately. might join when my schedule's more free

Work in progress. I got the hard part done. Now just the easy crunchy bits left.

Name: Maka
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/290/0/5/Post_Apocalyptic_by_poibuts.jpg
Background: Maka was raised by Jason, one of the guards of Rivet City, after he saved her from the raiders that killed her father taken her mother just outside the border of Rivet City. Growing up with Jason as a role-model Maka became familiar with weapons and eventually joined the security forces when she came of age. With the recent accident, Maka was stunned by the lack of volunteers willing to go and retrieve the medical supplies needed. Maka had her mind set to go however, for Jason was one of the ones injured in the accident and needed those supplies. She also knew that if Jason was able he would of went on the mission himself, no matter how bleak the odds were.
Personality: Maka is a stoic and brooding individual, who always expects the worse. She is distrusting of strangers and never gives people the benefit of doubt. Even among people she knows she is mostly quite and aloof, as if unsure if her interacting would upset people.

I've checked your character and find only one wrong thing. The combat knife costs 165 so you have 30 bottle caps.

[BigBadWolf]

Edited, No problem and she is a alread bad at bartering so she may have paid signifcant more

Your attributes still wrong. The sum of them must be 46. Everything start with 5 (35) you have 5 free point (40) you have the gifted trait (47) you have the Tech wizard trait (46). If I don't misscounted the sum of yours only 44.

[SheenaTiger]

okay, was informed that one spot is open and i am allowed to post a character ^^

i reserve this post and edit it later to put my character up, i first have to build one ^^;

Name: Hitomi (hito: intellect, wisdom ;mi: beautiful) Shizuka (shizu: quiet ;ka: summer or perfume,smell)
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Hitomi is a rather small young woman. She reaches roughly a height of 1.54m and often people overlook her or think of her of being younger then 20 years, at least most recognise her as an adult and not as a child. Most times she wears clothes that are made for people taller then her, since they are more easy to get, and if possible she shortens them a bit and pulls a belt tight around her waist so the pants will not drop to the ground.

Personality:
Hitomi is a rather shy person, but she loves to explore and experiment with all kind of electronical stuff. Later one generally is a trouble-bringer for her, but she does not care about it.

Background:
Hitomi was born in a vault located south of Tenpenny Tower. It is one of those many experimental vaults, equipped with many high-tech-stuff but with nearly no spare parts to repair any of them. As most of the inhabitants of the bunker were technicians and scientists, they had a quite high standard for education and carried it over to their children. For most children, along with Hitomi, the most fun time was not playing game but oing experiments and homeworks, not that there was much else to do for them.

Hitomi was especially eager to explore the vault and pick up many stuff to repair and experiment. At one time she found a stash of old, no longer functional Wattz 1000 Laser Pistols. Over several months she took them apart and used all but one as spare part material to repair one of them, without having a blueprint for them. In the end she managed to repair that one Laser Pistol and began to train with it in secret. Sadly she never was really good with weapons and one day she had a really bad day and destroyed several important parts of equipment. The elders of the vault were angry enough to decide for a really severe punishment. Sincec they not wanted to risk more equipment Hitomi needed to vanish, though nobody inside the vault would ever kill a person, so she was simply thrown out of the bunker, into the unknown while the people inside prefered the clean and safe vault instead of the unknown dangers.

Having only a very low amount of equipment she could pick to take out into the unknown, she loaded herelf with as much as she could carry and stumbled into the wastelands around Washington. It was much more luck then actual skill that she stayed alive. The most dangerous things she saw were shy dogs, wild Brahmins and some rats. Somehow, without knowing she did, she managed to nearly reach Rivet City as her PipBoy got a signal.

[Tydorei]

Tydorei,

Yar Yar Yar

That could give us a good starting point.

Yeah, that's cool.

And big bad fluff says I have some spare bottlecaps. Cool

[Foxfyr]

IC is up!

At this point, make your way to Rivet City.

Here is a map if you need it.

For those who are already in the city, please go into detail of what happened and where you were when it did.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[BigBadWolf]

I just wanted to ask what happened to everybody? The game starting to die.

[SheenaTiger]

i am waiting for someone to post too o_O

[TheHangedOne]

I've been waiting, too, and am still quite interested in continuing the game.

[SheenaTiger]

well, i would have to make a double-post... and i hate doing such stuff -.-
so all i can do is waiting

[elfguy]

I could post but I was waiting for the group to be brought together. It seemed to me that there would be a point where the people on the bridge would be let in and meet up with the Dr to get their mission explained and accepted.

[Foxfyr]

I apologize for the delay, but I am currently on vacation and haven't had time to make a post to continue the story.  Not to worry though, I haven't abandoned this RP and will be able to get the next post up on Wednesday or Thursday.

I appreciate your patience with all this.

[TheHangedOne]

I hope it's been a pleasant one, Loki. :) Not sure about everyone else, but I'm still in.

[Foxfyr]

Thank you for your patience, if you are still interested in continuing, the enlistment post is up! :-)

[TheHangedOne]

Just so everyone has a heads up, their is a category four hurricane coming my way. It's projected to hit the area I live in this Friday. if it hits, their is a very good chance that, amongst other things, we'll be without power, indefinitely.  I may be jumping the gun--I have a bad habit of doing that-- but I figured I would give the heads up, just in case bad stuff happens.

Thanks for the heads up, I hope things turn out fine for you and rest assured that your place will be waiting for you once the storm passes.

[Foxfyr]

I just sent PMs to the people who have yet to reach the check-in point.  I'll give them a day or two to respond before I continue the story.

[TheHangedOne]

News time, kiddies*Does that in his best Three-Dog voice.*  The hurricane passed me by without any incident. I slept thruogh it. Everything is groovy.

[Haibane]

Is this game still running? Is there space for another character?

[SheenaTiger]

my guess.... it looks like 1 or 2 spots are open again since it seems not all people kept playing after a first (if any) posts...

[Haibane]

Thanks, sounds promising. I'll wait for the GMs to say yea or nay.

[Foxfyr]

There is still an opening or two, feel free submit your CS for approval. :-)

[Haibane]

I'd be happy to take the character of someone who has dropped out if their interactions are significant.

[Foxfyr]

We don't have any real character interactions at this point in time, we are in the process of getting to know one another IC.  Tydorei has not officially left the RP yet and I don't think there are any unused character sheets at the moment, so it looks like you will have to make your own.

[badbabysitter]

I love the game.. in fact Fallout 3 was my introduction to videogaming and have played it to death


If theres any room for another character I would love to be a part of this

[badbabysitter]

Okay.. I got a headache afterahwile.. making characters in systems isnt my strongest point and I gave up after a bit , but here goes with what I whipped up

Name:   Peaches
Age:  somewhere between 17  and 20, she doesn't know
Gender : All female



Backround:

Peaches is a runaway slave. Being a slave is all she has ever known. Her parents were slave and more then likely their parents were too. She never knew her mother and can only assume her father was a slaver or a slave owner. Untill recently all she knew about her life were orders and the collar around her neck.

She always was a slender girl, smaller then the others and knew this was a liability  for her chances of survival. So she decided to use her own charms to stay alive, and has become a bit of a party girl. Ever eager to please she acts as a consort, geisha and advisor. This being due to her sharp mind as well. She's never had to work hard, hence her low strength

She hated her last owner, with a passion and decided the constant beatings were enough. That she was either going to escape and die in the wastelands or die at the hands of her owner. She prefered the idea of dying on her feet rather then her knees.

She got her owner and her guards stinking drunk one night and strangled him in his sleep and unlocked  the collar. Stole  the tommy gun, armour and gear and fled off into the night.

She's just made it to civilization and is willing to do almost anything for safety and shelter from a past she is certain t come back to haunt her

Personality:

Peaches is a sex

• bomb and she knows it. Her body is her weapon, and her mind is just as sharp. She knows how useless she is in a stand-up fight, so teneds to manipulate situations so she'll never have to be in them. But if push comes to shove, she's ready to make a gooey mess outof anyone with her Tommy. And allways carries her switchblade in her corset.
  
  She choses her words carefully and for the right effect..her role is to convince people to do what she wants and could probably come in very very handy in settlements and bartering
  
  She likes women just as much as men, but is always confused why they get so jealous

I've checked your character and find the following problems:
- Your melee dmg, poison resistance, radiation resistance, sequence, healing rate and critical chance are missing.
- Your throwing skill is 32%
- Your repair skill is 24%
- Your pilot skill is 28%
- You didn't' choose your tag skills. You can choose 3 skill which get +20% bonus and the will be increasing twice as fast as the other skills.
- The Thompson has a 6 minimum strength which means your character couldn't use it due to her strength is 3. However we can say that she just got a penalty when she use it -10% every point of strength which need to be used the weapon properly. In this case she's got a -30% penalty. So I suggest choose another lighter weapon.

[BigBadWolf]

I created a character sheet thread here:
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=81986.0

I ask you to copy your character sheets there, but do not post anything else. This thread for the sheets only. You can manage here all the changes (equipment change, money change, injury, level up etc.).

[badbabysitter]

okay, I'll do some tweakng..  game mechanics are not my strong point... but since the " GN" still needs to find a way to introduce my character, it gives me plenty of time

[SheenaTiger]

hmmm...i think the mechanics to create a character with this rulebook is quite easy and straight forward, nearly no math included in terms of distributing points. i know worse or at least more complex stuff ^^

[Foxfyr]

Sorry for the delay everybody.  Real life issues involving me trying to secure a job has me too stressed out and preoccupied to gather up the willpower to RP for the time being.  If nothing else, I'll make an outline containing what will happen in the meeting with Dr. Li and somebody else can put it in post form if I have any volunteers.

[TheHangedOne]

If you think I can handle it, I would be willing to do it. Good luck, Loki, I hope life settles down for you.
