I was not concerned I just wanted to make sure ya knew that, somepeople have played through NV without ever making a character that is the opposite gender and never realized there was reason there is never any female legion troops.

I gotcha. I just wanted to instill some faith in you.

Play a female if you want I couldn't care any less.

About when's the OOC gonna come up today?

Should be within the next hour or two.

I'm terrible at OOC's though. Lol.

It has been two hours, Your time is up contestants!

Seriously though Swallowtail if you want I can make an OOC up for you and you can post it and take all the credit.

Am I late for the fallout Party, I can help with lore,,, and uh shoot things!

If someone wants to make one, go ahead. I don't want to be called the one who runs the show.

Ah shit son...

Should I maybe make the OOC? Seeing as how everyone is so quiet. I ma eager to form a good, but open and spirited Plot. I am a Fallout Fanatic and know Lore better then most I have ever talked too. (I don't mean that a a slam to anyone or as a cocky remark, I literally just know a lot about Fallout in every way, big or small) If any of you would like to converse more on a plotline in a more fluid manner, add me on these:

Skype: austin.napier85

PS4: UrsaMajor

Steam: UrsaMajor

Raidcall: UrsaMajor95
(Yes, I love the name UrsaMajor. It is an old nickname and I love the Constellations.)

I am going to add you on steam... because reasons! I am Bacon Cat, not to be confused with Catbug

nvm, there is a lot of UrsaMajors

There is also a lot of Bacon Cats. Haha.

well my avatar if a cat eating bacon, hard to miss :P

Ah, I sent one. A pleasure to add you you on Steam by the way.

I do apologize, but honestly... WHo is making the OOC!? I am the kind of Lore Keeper and Fallout Fanatic who gets to thinking about a plot and Characters and can't stop.. I have been trying not to over-hype myself by turning my attention to my Original Warframe, Warframe Character Design Project, but it just won't work.. I have this idea for implementing the War for the Hoover damn, in a side-note, rather then directly.

The reason for this being, is because if we want out characters to have different and opinionated Moral standings, we can't do the Merc concept. I like that concept as well, but someone mentioned it giving us moral freedom, when that isn't true. Our character being hired as Mercs would mean we would have to form them with what is called the "Merc Morality" which is a form of either True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral Morality. Thus it wouldn't give us freedom. If we were to however have our characters say run across a single, or series(for the fact we may not all meet up right off the start), of events involving skirmishes, objectives, or occupation attempts by the members of the war, and having the war's intensity or complexity revealed to our characters indirectly, we could then truly have total Morality freedom and our characters would be free to choose whatever course of action fits their character design and moral standing best.

This is just my opinion and my way of looking at the writing. (I am not pushing it, or forcing it on you all.)

This seems like it would end up being players against each other, then. Which I'm totally fine with. I will do the OOC if no one else is. I will post the prototype here and we can all edit it together. I will just do the CS template and general rules, the plot we will have to work on.

I can start a skype group if you guys all want to chat about the plot

Here is what I have so far. Also, Swallowtail: Do you want me to be the mod?


1. No godmodding. Don’t have your character jump straight into a pit of radiation or charge an armed Supermutant barehanded and expect them to turn out fit as a fiddle. Any PC death will be discussed and only allowed to happen if A. The PC was definitely, definitely going to die or B. The PC agreed to the death OOC.

2. No auto-hitting, except in the case of minions. Killing a gecko or two automatically is just fine and well within your PC’s capabilities, but wailing on a PC or an enemy that would not be so easy to take out without said PC’s or the mod’s permission is forbidden. If you’re not sure, ask.

3. Sex is to either fade to black or be taken to a PM thread. No exceptions.

4. Try to stay on track. If you want your character to suddenly have a huge meltdown for utterly unknown/minimal reasons and force everyone else to backtrack because of it, that’s an automatic shutdown. Your character can be unstable, definitely, but be prepared for the consequences if you decide to act upon that in a way that would only bog down the plot for everyone else.

5. Know your lore. Try to avoid any kind of inconsistency with the lore of Fallout and your character's actions, background or knowledge. Just ask if you don't know too much, but certain petty inconsistencies won't be too much of an issue.

6. At least one or two good paragraphs per post, please. Give plenty of room for PCs to react and respond as they see fit.


(Character image here, if you’d like to have one.)

(Name goes here.)

Age: (At least 18)

Gender:

Specialty/Archetype: (Think of what your character would put on their resume, if they had one.)

Appearance/Gear: (Anything you’d like to add that is not in the picture/in case you do not have a picture. Scars, tattoos, clothing/armor, weapons, physique, etc.)

Personality: (Give us a good, in-depth idea of what we should expect from your character.)

History: (At least a solid paragraph.)

Other: (Affiliations, current occupation, etc.)

I do think a Skype group would be great, that way we can actively discuss it back and forth, rather then waiting for the limited replies we are getting in here...

Secondly, I am fine with the Rules as they sit so far, and I am fine with the OOC. Though, don't give everyone a specific sentence limit or maximum for their Personality and Background, as some people may only want to put little details, or just the bare important items and have the rest just come out in-Rp. I do think you need to add one more rule. #) No breaking lore, never disrupt a fact or something of importance that has been set previously by games, books, comics, or written history in the series and it's universe.

I have a big problem with people breaking lore, or bending certain things, so I want it to be clear NOT TO DO IT.

Added the rule, and I partially agree with you on your opinion on the CS in terms of a lot of a character being formed IC, but I just want to be sure people are able to write up enough on their character that they have enough to work with later on. They can be as mysterious as they please, but just giving bare-bones snippets of an entire life just rubs me the wrong way. What does everyone else think about the history/personality minimums?
