Name: Nikola (Nik) Stephenson (some call him the Fixer)
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Height & Weight: 6'3"/205
Build: Mighty
Personality: Nik is pretty down to earth and those who do not know him suspect that he is there to break someone in half. He will if he has to, but he prefers to read or fix things if he isn’t designing some kind of contraption. The child of engineers, he was named Nikola after Tesla. He wears jeans and t-shirts, with boots. He is very confident, calm, and would rather threaten someone and not fight then actually fight. He fights well with his hands, knees, and feet, but is generally peaceful.
Occupation: Techie. He goes from place to place repairing things if he isn’t scavenging for parts and tools.
Weapon of Choice: 10 mm Desert Eagle
Background: Nik was born to a pair of engineers who were in one of the vaults. Nik wanted to see the world and left when he was nineteen. Now he wanders the world, having made few enemies since he knows to kill them and hide the bodies if he can’t avoid the fight. His father was Alexander and his mother Susan. He’ll drink but avoids drugs.

[Ixy]

Name: Kitty Hawk
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Sexuality: Pan
Height: 5'6
Build: Slim, pert, lanky
Personality: Adorer of retro music, culture, and literature. Kitty's attention span is minute and her curiosity is limitless.  High more often than not, she is a purveyor of the unique and a libertine at heart.  
Occupation: Junk collector and gonzo freelance writer.
Weapon of Choice: .45-70 lever-action rifle
Background: Born on a tato farm outside the Commonwealth, Kitty was raised to work the ground, shoot molerats, gather scrap, and fix the fuck out of anything that broke.  Kitty's parents were decent folks, but Kitty's real joy was art-- listening to the radio, painting the fences with wild designs-- their wind generator was always on the fritz, and when she went to Diamond City, she could pore over old books, magazines, comics, and all the music she could stand. 

She had crazy ideas, created technicolor patterns that hurt the eye, made up songs that made no sense-- her parents often wondered if, maybe, taking Daytripper to get through her difficult birth might have had a lasting effect. Trader's stories and rumors about a city to the Southwest permeated the teenage Kitty like arrows through a radroach's ass-- filled her up with ideas about dozens of radio stations, massive old museums, and the world's largest library.  So she ran away-- and found that her journey was to be plagued by exactly the kind of horrors one can expect in the wastelands.

Hi all ^_^ Ambrosia messaged me to see if I'd be interested in joining this game or contributing to the world building! I am quite interested and may be participating both ways if she permits it.

I might be playing as a former Follower of the Word (the guys in the New York Library), figuring it out in the PMs with her.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

We are still recruiting and looking for adventurers, mercenaries, and runaway paladins to join in the toxic wastes!

Here's my character ^_^ No face pic as of yet.

Name: Travis Thatcher
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Sexuality: Bisexual with a preference for women
Height: 5’10"
Build: Slim
Occupation: Scavenger, unofficially a courier, sometimes a guide.
Weapon of Choice: A makeshift spear and a .308 bolt-action rifle. Ammo's expensive so he prefers not to use the rifle unless it's absolutely necessary.
Personality: Insecure, resourceful, introverted. Travis gets nervous in tense situations, and knows he isn't the toughest or strongest around. He's spent a lot of time alone so he's not very good in social situations, preferring to shy away from people he deems intimidating. This can lead him to not sharing ideas for problems when he has them because he's afraid of being shut down. When he does feel like he can open up, he'll go on and on when he talks, rambling about the things he's learned and what he's observed in his life in the wasteland. He often doesn't know he's doing it.
Background: Travis was born to former "students" of Bronx High, scavengers, and once he was seven, they sent him there to live with the other surviving kids of New New York, figuring that there was a better place for him than the Wasteland that they needed to venture into. They told him, once he aged out they should come back and find them in Little Luna.

He left at fifteen, deciding that Bronx High wasn't for him. When he went back to Little Luna to find his parents, they weren't there anymore. Through asking around he found out that his parents had never come back from a scavenging mission near Nightstalker Park. Figuring that they were probably dead, he tried to move on, not confident enough to search for their remains.

He inherited some of their skills and the goodwill of the people of Little Luna, and moved on to the Library. There he became a Follower of the Word, before the Brotherhood came in and raided the library. He enjoyed reading the books there, and one of the Followers figured out how to access the old computer system and see memberships, what books were checked out to who and their address. They determined which books were valuable, and Travis volunteered to go rifling through those addresses to look for them. If the buildings showed promise, that was. He skulked alone, looting as he went and collected books to return to the library. He liked the comics the most.

After the BoS raided the library and sent them scattering, he went back to Little Luna, scavenging nearby and delivering messages between there and the other settlements in the area. He typically did scavenging requests, having become familiar with the area from his Follower days, and was known for being able to find just the thing you were looking for. In the last few months he's taken to wearing a hood and mask, saying that he got a wound on his face during a scavenging mission and that it hasn't healed properly.

[MetroFallout]

Name: Kenneth “Driver” Reyes
Age: 43 
Gender: Male
Race: Human 
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Height: 6ft
Build: Athletic
Personality:


Usually going by his family name of Reyes, he is a rather reserved and quiet individual, prone to staring off into the distance in thought when not concentrating on a task. When asked what he’s thinking about, he typically snaps back as if he was listening to some unheard music.
Generally stoic but is known to have breath-takingly extreme fits of violence when faced with unavoidable confrontations with hostiles within the bounds of his rules of engagement as dictated by his contracts.

Occupation: Mercenary/Caravan Courier for large packages

Weapons of Choice:
Custom .45 ACP long slide pistol with laser sight “Red-Eye” (holstered on right hip, right-handed holster),
Wattz 1/600 “Red Glint” recharger laser revolver (holstered on hip, right-handed holster cross-draw on left-hand side, functions like a six-crank laser musket in pistol form with recharger ammo)

Background:

Born in New Canaan to a moderate Mormon family, Kenneth had a relatively unremarkable childhood as a New Canaanite. As was common in children, he yearned for adventure and chafed in school, longing to go on his Mission that was traditional for New Canaanites to go on. Still, he excelled regardless and when it came time for him to venture out into the wastes as a missionary, he did so with enthusiasm, his trusty “Red-Eye” on his hip.

When he returned from his Mission, Kenneth  was a changed man and his faith had shifted away from Mormonism. While he kept his Christian Faith and most of his beliefs, having first-hand experience of the world beyond the immediate area around what used to be the Utah state border opened his eyes to what things were like beyond his community.

Setting out into the world after declaring his intention to live apart from the other New Canaanites, he eventually joined the Desert Rangers to fight for true Old World values like freedom,justice and emancipation from oppressive tyrants rather than staying cloistered in their little enclave.  This put the Rangers squarely into conflict with Caesar’s Legion, being that they are a society of slave-driving, misogynistic, genocidal, and fanatical fascists. During this time, he came across his fair share of Pre-War tech in the search for game-changers to the conflict, the most significant of which being V.A.L.E.R.I.E Unit 07 ( Variant Assaultron for Long-range Extended Reconnaissance and Intelligence Extraction), his partner in the Wastes ever since he managed to re-activate her after spelunking in the Sierra Army Depot at the Experimental Robotics Lab.

Unfortunately, as time went on, the Desert Rangers could not hope to fight even a guerilla war against the massively numerically superior Legion and had to find backup. This backup came in the form of the NCR Rangers. Under the Ranger Unification Treaty, the Desert Rangers would be folded into the NCR Rangers’ ranks in exchange for protection of the Mojave from the Legion.

While he understood the reasoning behind the signing of the treaty and had nothing against the NCR, it was not something that he’d signed up for and he left the Mojave after attempting to work things out with the NCR and ultimately deciding that it wasn't for him, eventually ending up on the East Coast with V.A.L.E.R.I.E by his side.

great, lemme brainstorm a bit and get back to you.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

If anyone has some interest in joining please reach out to me or Mr BadGuy. We have different side stories lining up that would let a character be invited along the way or even stumble upon the group. 

One of the factions that we are adding to the game is the Brooklyn Boys, a group of BoS defectors similar to the Outcasts that run the settlement on the Brooklyn Bridge.
