    Fallout: Black Dawn - OOC




    This is the IC.

    The story:

    War, war never changes.

    The year is 2306, and the East Coast of what remains of the USA has seen better days. It has been seven years since the Virginia Incident - an event that had claimed every single living soul within the release radius. Aurora, an android whose purpose was to fire the weapon releasing a toxin to wipe out all living things on the East Coast, had escaped the facility leaving behind the comrades who had unknowingly helped her in her mission, but for whatever reason she spared them by locking them in a chamber that remained sealed until the virus dispersed after a 48 hour period. Immediately afterward she began building her own army of metal followers, ushering all robots and synthetics to flock by her side. Her Black Citadel rises in the South, a beacon for robots and synthetics to head to and a warning for all humans to stay away. Luckily the warhead malfunctioned and instead of wiping out the entire East Coast, the virus only spread through a five mile radius, only effecting the southernmost parts of Virginia. Word has also arrived that someone has organized the many raiders of the Capital Wasteland further North, calling themselves the Titan's Hand, pillaging and destroying small settlements with extreme prejudice. They are rapidly building strength as they make their way towards Megaton and if it fails to stem the attack, the rest of the Capital Wasteland will be overrun as well. Super Mutants fleeing from the robotic forces of the Black Citadel to the South have grouped together and now have formed a massive horde on a collision course with New Troy, a city protected by a giant impenetrable wall or at least believed to be so, and is the only thing standing in the way of the Mutant Horde and Black Citadel forces, aside from the BoS Citadel, to the rest of the Capital Wasteland.

    It seems that dark times have befallen the Capital Wasteland, with its innocent inhabitants stuck in the middle of it all. However, from the darkness shines a beacon of hope. The Ones Who Lived. After surviving Brittney's deadly virus in Virginia, the former group parted ways, anguished about their inability to stop the genocide Brittney had committed. However, "The Ones Who Lived" didn't let their anguish get the best of them, as each of the four survivors now hold lofty positions throughout the Capital Wasteland. Can they put aside old grudges, unify the forces of the Wasteland, and turn the tide against the evil that appears to be preparing to wipe them out from all sides...
    Or will it be unique and talented individuals such as yourself, as before they were great "The Ones Who Lived" were all but wanderers unknowingly walking the path of destiny. Only time will tell as a black dawn washes over the Capital Wasteland.
    ------------------------------------

    That's a rough idea of basically what the older RP was about, I'm thinking of remaining in control of the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel and acting Field Commander Elder Ricard Graves, as that was my main character in the story. Also, I think I'll keep Aurora as an NPC, as well as the leader of the Titan's Hand. I'd like to steer away from other players controlling the enemy armies, as I have plans for them, but would instead like "hero" characters. Mind you, this isn't an RP about a bunch of "take a million hits and punch Hitler in the face" characters walking around. This is semi-realistic within the Fallout Universe. Characters that WILL have a bit of leeway on being semi-God-mod will be the leaders of the different faction/cities of the Capital Wasteland, though they still must remain true to their posts and not galavanting across the Wastes with no rhyme or reason.
    ----------------------------------
    Da' Rulez
    1. No God-modding
    2. Keep it PG-13, swearing (this doesn't mean you can drop an "F-bomb" every other word, stay classy) and romance that comes through the story is alright. If you're gonna get it on with a ghoul or your faithful companion, fade to black or take it to PM (I'm looking at you Kate and Bane haha)
    3. Remember, we're all buddies here, but if you start being a donkey named Jack in the OOC or to my players, you can bet your donkey you'll be booted from the game.
    4. I want a one paragraph MINIMUM, it's easy and this isn't Free. This is a Casual RP. Nuff said.
    5. You already know everything else. Follow the forum's guidelines and we'll all be happy.
    -------------------------------------
    Main Faction/City Positions:
    Elder Ricard Graves - Accepted - (Me, One Who Lived)
    Sheriff of Megaton (One Who Lived) - ACCEPTED - WeskerV2
    BoS Captain of the Guard in Megaton (Megaton has it's own militia, but it has been bolstered with BoS cadets and Knights. He/she is a Paladin) - RESERVED - Deamonbane
    Head Scientist of Rivet City (One Who Lived) - OPEN
    Head of Rivet City Security - RESERVED - Callthecops
    Magistrate of New Troy (Equivalent of Elder in the BoS) (One Who Lived) - RESERVED - Voltin
    Stratego of New Troy (Same as a BoS Captain of the Guard, but a high ranking member of New Troy's forces)* - OPEN

    Wanderers/Mercs:
    Rivet City - General Scales
    Callthecops

    *The Magistrate and Elder Graves don't see eye-to-eye, even though they are actually old friends who both survived Brittney's virus attack, as it is common knowledge that New Troy's main purpose was to cover the BoS Citadel's Souther flank. Since this has put them on shaky terms, the Magistrate allows cadets and a few Knights to be stationed in New Troy to help with it's defenses, but no officers as they believe the BoS want to try to assume command of the city.
    ---------------------
    REMEMBER, you don't have to play any of those roles, your character can be whatever you like and you may have multiple characters. However I'd like if you choose one of the leader positions that you don't double as another leader role. You can have a maximum of 2 possibly 3 characters if you have a good enough reason. I don't want you to swamped from the get go, unless you're sure you can handle it.
    -------------------------------

    My Character Sheets:

    Name: Ricard Graves
    Age: 37
    Appearance:
    Allegiance: Brotherhood of Steel
    Rank: Elder
    Specialties: Small Guns, Big Guns, and Unarmed combat
    Weaponry:
    + Trademark Mini-gun
    + 10mm Pistol (holstered in special compartment on his thigh)
    + Power Fists (The gauntlets on his Power Armor are actually modified power fists that allow for handling guns and other things)
    Equipment:
    + T-51b Power Armor
    + A couple Stimpaks and a roll of bandages in a compartment on his chest
    Personality: Graves used to be a cold man, the perfect soldier, but after his journey with Brittney he began to see life in a new light. Although he is friendlier and far kinder than he used to be, he is still the battle-hardened soldier he's always been. Very unyielding, won't give up no matter what, but won't risk other's lives.

    Bio: Ricard Graves was born and raised in the Brotherhood of Steel along with his younger sister Nicole, climbing to the rank of Knight by the age of 18. His outlook on life became bitter after his younger sister was killed on a regular patrol by super mutants. In a fit of rage, Graves searched for the lair of the monsters that tore apart his sister, killing them all in a hail of gunfire from the mini-gun he chose to carry. He was reprimanded for his recklessness and was put to trial before the Elder at the time. The trial didn't go in his favor, as he was banished from the BoS. Instead of heading for the Outcasts, Graves decided to cut his own path in the Wastes, working as a gun for hire and putting down the super mutants and raiders of the DC ruins for fun. As caps rolled in as much as the blood he spilt, the man became more and more distant from humanity. As fate would have it, Graves was hired to help with an expedition to recover a vault said to house all manner of pre-war tech. The person who hired him was non other than Aurora Chase, the young woman who would later nearly succeed in wiping out all the inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland.

    Though their caravan met many challenges, Graves pressed on and as the days passed, he began to feel truly apart of something. A family if you will and this began to melt the ice that had grown around the soldier's heart. After the betrayal of Aurora, Graves surprisingly didn't revert back to his cold self, but instead immediately went back to the Citadel. Within days he was regarded as a hero and in the next few years of being welcomed back to the BoS and leading many successful missions, Graves became Elder of the BoS with unanimous support. Under Elder Graves' leadership, the super mutants were wiped from the D.C. ruins and most of the raiders learned to keep clear, as they were shot on sight. Trade opened up with the ghouls of Underworld, benefitting both factions with the added support of ghoul guards at the Washington Monument, as well as added help with protecting trade caravans and rebuilding the ruins. Graves also sent troops to bolster the defenses of Megaton, as it sat near the borders of the Capital Wasteland. He is trying his best to position his forces as best he can without spreading the BoS to thin, but with the approaching Titan's Hand, Mutant Horde, and the threat of invasion by the robotic legions of the Black Citadel; Graves is unsure of what to do to rid these lands of the ever growing threats.
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Name: Aurora Chase
    Age: Appears to be around 25
    Appearance:
    Allegiance: The Black Citadel, Herself
    Rank: Queen of the Black Citadel
    Specialties: Energy Weapons, Science, and Repair
    Weaponry:
    + Energy Pistol
    + Her body which is nigh invulnerable and has the ability to reprogram a robot or synthetic to bend to her will by just being in it's presence.
    Personality: Robots don't have "true" personalities, but Aurora seems to be a perpetually depressed/sad young woman. The only time she is happy is when she learns of more robots joining her legion, but has been seen to crack a smile whenever the BoS is mentioned.

    Bio: Aurora was put into service by the Institute decades ago, her primary objective to release a toxin that would wipe out the entire East Coast, but leave the Institute unharmed thanks to it being sealed in a extremely protected environment. However, Aurora was never able to complete her task for years, every party she took being killed by the challenges along the way. This all changed once she hired the former ex-BoS Ricard Graves, who now is the Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel, along with three other individuals just as unique and talented in their own rights. Although there were many dangers along the way, Aurora was surprised that they had finally made it to the vault and with that surprise came a realization that broke her programming. She genuinely cared for these few humans and at the moment they realized she had betrayed them, the android sealed the group in a chamber to shield them from the poison. If her body were able to cry, she would have appeared to be sobbing, as crossing the ones she had grown to care for was to much for her. To help alleviate the pain of what she had done, Aurora was able to remove her tracking chip and change the parameters of her programming to stop the Institute from simply shutting her down, setting her sights on something grander than what her creators ever thought possible. Aurora soon discovered she had the ability to reprogram any robotic entity, amassing a massive legion of all makes and models.

    As the humans she betrayed carried on with their lives over the years, so two did Aurora, her robotic followers building a fortress that was bigger than the BoS Citadel, New Troy, Megaton, and Rivet City combined. The entire complex took up an entire square mile, terrifying to even those who could only see a speck on the horizon. Inside the fortress, her legion grew in number and in impatience. Some wished to eradicate all organic life, but gladly obeyed their Queen by refraining from attacking any organics who were not in the borders of the Black Citadel's territory, which took up almost the entirety of Virginia. With unquestionable power and almost infinite soldiers, Aurora remains in the central keep, biding her time as she watches the Capital Wasteland staggering on. Unknowing to the fact that judgement would soon leave every man, woman, and child not but dust in the wind.
    ------------------------------------------------
    Name: "Kronos"
    Age: Unknown, but believed to be at least in his mid thirties.
    Appearance:
    Allegiance: Titan's Hand
    Rank: War Chief
    Specialties: Melee Weapons (Swords and other Blades for the most part), Explosives, and Small Guns
    Weaponry:
    + Pump Action Grenade Launcher w/ incendiary and regular shells
    + .44 Magnum
    + Shiskebab
    + Assortment of throwing/combat knives
    Equipment:
    + Horned Face Mask (Functions like a power armor helmet)
    + Armor (Recreated power armor)
    Personality: Insane
    Bio: No one knows his true name, but everyone outside fo the Capital Wasteland up to the Institute has heard his self-proclaimed name. Kronos believes himself to be a divine being, aligning himself with the belief that he serves the Gods or God, he's unsure how many there are as he reads through the remains of old books. You'd be hard pressed to disprove his claim, as every opposing force has been wiped out by his army of raiders, and those foolish enough to challenge him to one-on-one combat met an even more brutal fate. By all means this man is insane, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Nobody knows where he came from, but within months of BoS scouts reporting a large group of raiders to the north, Kronos's forces have swelled to well over three thousand blood crazed followers. Actually, no one even knows what he looks like, as he wears a custom-made suit of power armor that makes him appear to be a demon in the eyes of his enemies. This could be due to the fact that the dark red hue of his armor is really layers and layers of the blood of those unlucky enough to cross paths with the mad man and his murderous army. He does not fear death, nor do any of his forces, only adding on to the terror when he marches his forces in your direction. Outward scouts say the mass of murderers are preparing to invade the Capital Wasteland and the first target in their sights is Megaton, which if taken will be a prime base of operations until the rest of the Capital Wastes bows down to Kronos. He is well aware of the dark legion that awaits in the south, but he believes them to be a blessing from his lord(s), and will gladly aid them in overtaking New Troy.


    EDIT: Great CS Wesker, accepted for sure.

    Ooh... a young Sean Connery! I should have a CS up shortly, as I have to study up a bit on the universe...
    It is for people like me that, on the eighth day, God said," Let there be firearms."

    And God saith unto him,"And here is my Eleventh commandment: Thou shalt not get caught."

    To those that dare take me too seriously, I say," I am the living proof that God hath a sense of humor!"

    Haha, just had too. He has the perfect look of a clean cut tough guy/badass. (because Sean Connery is the real OG!) Take your time man, no hurry. Same goes for you Scales, still gotta wait on all other parties to make their characters.
