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.

Name: Laura Coldshort

Gender:Female

Age:32

Race:Caucasian

Appearance: Shoulder length brown hair tied back into a short pony tail, she has pale skin and blue eyes. Her left arm is marked with a myriad of burns and small scars from an explosion in her childhood, though she's covered in small marks from general life in the wastes. She's built small, though that's not to be mistaken for weak, as almost all of it is muscle. She wears simple close fitting clothes, earthy brown in colour and made of resistant cloth. It doesn't offer any protection against bullets or knives, but it keeps her safe from the harsh terrain of the wastelands. She does however, wear a large pair of black military boots, thick soled with steel plates in soles. On the back of the boots in tiny lettering is the phrase "These boots were made for stompin'"

Skills:Barter High
Speechraft High
Demolitions medium
Small arms low

Weapons: She carries a magnum holstered at her hip, though she almost never remembers to load it. She carries with her a large selection of explosives, from grenades on belts across her chest to a satchel of demolition charges, she carries the basics of explosive production as well, in the forms of the various powders and volatile chemicals required, and has been known to jury rig almost anything to go boom.

History and Background: Laura grew up in a small mining town, providing precious coal to the local towns around it. Her parents were in charge of the explosives used for opening new tunnels, and Laura quickly grew into the trade. It was on a routine charge set that the town was attacked by raiders, being deep in the tunnels Laura was spared the initial assault, and after realising that fighting was her only escape, she booby trapped the labyrinth of mining tunnels she called home. For a week the raiders tried to flush her out, losing men and women with each doorway, tunnel and cave they searched. Eventually they cut their losses and ran. After spending some time to bury her family and friends in the mines, blowing the entrance closed with what little explosives she had, Laura left. She soon took shelter in an abandoned fort, driving off the local mole rats that inhabited it, and took herself to training from the instruction manuals that survived. Several years later, and with a stock of home made explosives, she began to ply her trade as a mercenary for hire, and eventually took on help, forming the mercenary company known as "Coldshort's Company".

Well theres my little bit, everyone happy?
