New Fallout RP, Plan Away! Options

[Dantrag]

So here we are, folks.

I vote Capital Wasteland as the setting, simply because I prefer it to the New Vegas setting. It just has more of a dismal feel to it in my opinion.

I guess for those less knowledgeable of the game, we could choose some other city in the States and make up the setting as we go, but that does get a little difficult sometimes.

As far as roles in the group goes, here's a few ideas:

Scout
Sniper (sniper could have a spotter, I guess)
Doctor
Repairman/Scientist (we could split this into 2 roles if necessary)
Demolitions expert
Heavy gunner
Scavenger
Diplomat (think barter/speech skills. basically the business/social savvy one of the group)
Survivalist (the ultimate outdoorsman)
Brute (melee/hand-to-hand expert)

EDIT: added grif's suggestions, changed 'thief' to 'scavenger' per urienashtram's advice.

Welcome aboard, CMX. It's good to see more interest in the RP section.

Dantrag, I'm thinking Damon can put up an act that he's still hammered and draw Jericho to present his back to Keara.

[CMX]

Thanks for the help guys and gals. Ill be posting and reading up on your current events.

Edit: So y'all were in megaton, and a shootout occured due to a botched scheme to jack equipment from a ....armory/barracks? If this isnt correct, please help me fill in the blanks. Im reading the playground as we speak. No idea what is solidly going on, and help from the roleplayers would help me as far as how to introduce Chris to the group(?).

As far as I know, there aren't any gals here.

Anyway, yes that is correct.

We're a small time merc company 'hired' by a shadowy guy on retracting some kind of technology on a settlement. As you can probably guess, we were framed. And now, we're going to be captured by the Regulators. Luckily, Keara the Scout is sent to Megaton as an envoy for help.


And since Lord Revan and Dantrag are planning for their characters to meet in Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton, I'm thinking maybe you could too. In the recent post of Lord Revan, you would find that he challenged Jericho to a drinking duel in the Brass Lantern and that a small crowd gathered, watching and betting. Maybe you were watching them have at it?

The possibilities are endless.

[Lord Revan]

On second thought, Damon can just sneak out the back while Jericho's attention is elsewhere. He can rejoin them somewhere near the entrance of Megaton.

OK, back to work for me!

If we have too many people here, we could have people roleplaying as important figures with the regulators (e.g my earlier post).

Also, I'm glad to see more people joining!

[ureniashtram]

I just noticed TODAY that I completely overlooked your post, Grif! I just edited mine. Sorry Grif!

[ureniashtram]

Guys, I'll be out for a while. I don't know how long, but it'll be pretty LONG. I'll make sure to stay in touch, though I doubt that. Take care of Alexei and Marcellone for me, will ya? Thanks and adios! Bin adieu! Sayonara! Buh-Bye! ( and the list goes on..)

[Zalphon]

Got room for another?

[grif11]

It's good to see you back to roleplaying!

I'm sure we can squeeze you in, but I'm losing count! Lets see, me, ahrenil, jack, ureni, dantrag, revan, CMX, arcry and you. wow. I think we need a player cap soon.

This is the busiest I've seen the rp section!

I'm running the RP in a guild in a MMORPG I'm in (Everquest II), so I'm devoting some time to that and also having to work on Legacy again (been going through writer's block)...

[Zalphon]

Name: Brian Wolfe
Race: Ghoul
Gender: Male
Age: 139

Height: 6’
Hair Color: None
Hair Style: None
Skin Color: Green mostly.
Eye Color: Blue
General Appearance: A tall, ghoul in purple robes which he keeps the hood up in.

Class-Type: Doctor

Weapon(s): Glock 86 Plasma Pistol (one-hundred small energy cells)
Armor: Purple Robes
Medical: Surgeon’s Kit, First-Aid Kit, Five Stimpacks.
Literature: Doctrines of the Children of the Cathedral, Journal
Misc.: A necklace with one of the Children of the Cathedral Badges in it.
Nuka-Cola Bottle Caps: One-hundred, fifty-two (152)

Biography: Born in the Hub in 2141, he never truly fit in. He was always one of the smarter kids. He never truly made any friends with anyone. It was rare to see him without his nose in a book or taking small objects apart, only to put them back together.

When a member of the Children of Cathedral came to the Hub, he was quickly recruited into it. His faith in the Master was unquestionable. It was due to this that he quickly raised in rank.

He quickly became one of the favored initiates of Father Lasher and was often considered to be a gift of the Master due to his disciplined and pious nature. Within a year, he was already a Scholar which was when he was sent to the Hub.

Many came to him, recognizing the familiar face, but seeing how much it had changed. His eyes no longer showed fear and contempt for the denizens of the Hub, but joy and hope. Several of the people he knew as he grew up joined the Children of the Cathedral after seeing his transformation.

It was when he was called to return a year later that he was granted an audience with Father Morpheus, the leader of the Children of the Cathedral. It was then that he rose in rank to a Servitor. By that time, the year was 2158; he was merely seventeen years old. He was the youngest Servitor to ever serve the Children of the Cathedral.

He was given a Plasma Pistol and returned his old, tan robes for the purple robes of a servitor. However, this promotion came with a reward. Father Morpheus took him into the hidden vault beneath the Cathedral to meet the Master in person.
The Master smiled at the sight of his new servitor and blessed him. After which, he and Father Morpheus left the Vault and returned to the Cathedral. With a smile and a bright future that he could foresee, he was sent to Necropolis to lead the Super Mutants in their search for pure-strain humans for dipping.

He met the leader of the Ghouls, a man named, “Set”. What started out as mutual distrust slowly turned into barely contained hostility. Set only didn’t attack, because he knew the Super Mutants could wipe them out easily with their energy weapons and big guns. Brian didn’t attack, because he knew these ghouls were serving as lookouts for Pure-Strain Humans.

About three years later, a Super Mutant with little intelligence by the name of “Harry” had a message from Morpheus ordering that he return to the Cathedral and surrender the post to Harry. Obediently, he returned to the Chapel.

When he returned after two weeks of walking, he found Father Morpheus waiting. He warned of a pure-strain human, known as the ‘Vault Dweller’ killing Super Mutants. Brian was ordered to stay at the Cathedral, ready to defend. For a month, there was no word of the Vault Dweller.

However, a month later a super mutant with a burned off arm and a missing eye (the arm was clearly burned off with plasma) arrived at the Cathedral. Father Morpheus got word from the wounded Super Mutant that the Vault Dweller had destroyed the FEV Vats in Mariposa and killed the Lieutenant.

Father Morpheus cunningly had each of the Initiates armed so that when the Vault Dweller would attack the Cathedral, he’d be ambushed by what he thought would be unarmed disciples. A week after, he arrived. Father Morpheus ordered Wolfe to head for the area around the Cathedral to serve as a lookout for anymore.

Forty-five minutes later he heard a loud, echoing sonic boom that knocked him into unconsciousness. When he woke up later in the Followers of the Apocalypse Headquarters in Adytum, he looked in a mirror to see his new form. He not only looked like a ghoul, he was a ghoul…

He hastily left Adytum and went north. For years, he wandered from town-to-town, never truly finding a home. With each passing day, he would pray that one day the Master would return and speak to him again. After many years, he settled down in the town of Gecko.

He met with an FEV Mutant named, “Harold” who told him stories of a man named Richard Grey. Eventually, he left for the town of Broken Hills. It was there he met a Super Mutant named, “Marcus”, one of the ones he met in Necropolis so many years ago.

It was there he reintroduced the faith in the Master. Many Super Mutants were quick converts. Several ghouls and only a single human heard his teachings. However, when he moved on so did their faith in the Master.

Over the years, he learned to accept that faith in the Master was lost… He acknowledged that the Master’s faith was gone; he did not lose faith in him. Brian would always pray to the Master, wherever the Master had gone.

He would selflessly heal the sick and the weak, asking for nothing in return, except for them to return the kindness to their fellow people. Although he aspires to one day resurrect the teachings of the Under-God, Brian accepts that the day the Children of the Cathedral are reborn may never come…

[grif11]

...Anyone else reminded of team fortress 2?

There you go arcry, how about you be a spy or pyroman (or samwich )? or perhaps not...

Welcome aboard, Zalphon!

As far as placing yourself in the story, you could either meet up with Keara, Chris, and Damon, or with Laura, Jonathan, Raymond, and Alexei. One group is in Megaton, the other is captured by regulators somewhere out in the wastes.

Also, if you wouldn't mind posting your character in the character thread for quick reference, that'd be awesome.

[Zalphon]

I'll go with Regulators. It's likely they'd take in a CoC Member...

[Zalphon]

Where's the character thread?

[CMX]

Its under Coldshort's Company.

[Zalphon]

Sorry if I'm not 100% accurate with what's going on, I'm just trying to get caught up

[jack cloudy]

Zalphon, the way Brian acted is a bit odd considering the circumstances. Given how Laura and co had been chased down and all by the regulators after some shooting, I doubt he'll act as if he'd just noticed them.

That said, there is an easy fix for it. We'll just have to skip ahead to our arrival at the Regulator headquarters. Brian could be there and open his eyes as they're brought in. In fact, I think I'll just do that right now. Posting on the company's end of things has been slow the last few days anyhow.

[Ahrenil]

Hey guys, sorry for the delay from me. I'm having a bit of a nightmare time helping my friend pack since they're being forced to move 3 months earlier than they thought they would. Hopefully i'll have some time to sit down and think during the week.

[Dantrag]

where is everyone?
