I have a lot of plans for the Blue Line once we get to it, so for the Green Line I'd like to see the really big plans everyone else has - and I'll add some flavor and accessory features where possible.

Yeah, the end of the Green Line is going to be a marathon of cities, so we'll need to be interesting and fresh. Some stuff has canon, like Pittsburgh and Chicago, and I know we already have some plans for New York. But there is still Detroit, Cleveland, and Philly we'll need to flesh out as well.

Here's some ideas off the top of my head that might be fun:
-Wild brahmin herds, big nomadic offspring of Montana's current day cattle ranches led by buff ass "bullmin" who constantly clash over grazing territory
-Big ass yetis from North Dakota to Minnesota living off the unkempt moose and deer populations
-Lake Superiour's levies were all sabotaged and Wisconsin is partially flooded, Chinese spy feral ghouls in the dams' mechanisms from the Great War
-Concrete Jungle, trees growing through the sidewalks, everything just picked clean in Michigan since it's already been looted and left for dead as is. Ironically barren in its lushness. The only actual usable stuff is owned by the outcasts of the yetis who wear car parts as armour and carry axels as clubs

Also: I just asked my friend who lives in Portland and he said all the buildings are like one to two stories tall and there are like fourteen bridges across the river in the middle of the town which sounds to me like a perfect excuse to have "jumpers", basically parkour mutants who move quickly across the roof tops and bridges by bounding through the city. North of that is Beavertown (mutant beavers!) and South is all the hipster organic chicken farms (mutant chickens!) Alternatively, Vegan Wastelander Coalition.

Lonepup, I can answer this IC, but I just wanted to let you know, the trolley is NOT a subway. Trolleys travel above ground, not below. The trolley levitates above the ground due to the electromagnetic fields generated by the UNDERGROUND "rail". We'll be traveling across the surface, not under it. Sorry for any confusion.

My bad >.> I was picturing like... a metro or something

My point is still valid regardless... a building or something falls on the rail we'd still splat into it if there isn't an emergency stop

Skills:
Primary: Sneak, Lockpick.
Secondary: Medicine

Uuuuuhhhh...

I should have switched lockpick and medicine going by the way I've been having her so far... but still >.> one of her main skills is medicine... She' just really brutal when it comes to it

Sorry Lone, good point, I totally forgot about that. I guess since your character isn't specifically a doctor it slipped my mind. Between Hayley and Ellie we should be good then medically, though I'd still be happy to have a full on M.D. on board for major surgeries. Or maybe like a survivalist/holistic healer type to help make use of local flora for medicines. Either way though, thanks for pointing that out to me, I totally would have forgotten otherwise.

As for the obstruction issue, I was gonna save this for when I introduce the trolley, but we can just do it now.

Basically, the trolley is going to be 4 trains long. The front train is the control room/war room. On the "face" of the trolley is going to be a large cattle catcher to move smaller obstructions. For larger obstructions, the trolley has a built in proximity detection system to bring it to a slow in the event of a catastrophic collision. So, if a building did fall over the tracks, the proximity sensor would bring the train to a stop, and then we'd use Scrap and Poe to probably just blow holes through it while everyone else worked security/investigated the area.

The 2nd trolley (which is actually a retcon now that I'm looking back at it) is going to be bunks. Basically a gutted trolley car with bunks along the walls and a long table through the center with folding chairs stacked in the corners to save space.

The third car is research and manufacturing, where certain advanced machines needed by Poe and Hayley will be housed, as well as reloaders, workbenches, and tool cabinets.

The final car is storage. Basically a place for equipment, bags, salvage, prisoners, bulk ammo, etc.

The train will have gatling lasers mounted to roof of the top and rear cars. Windows in the cars slide open and can be fired from in the event hostiles pursue the train or attack it's sides. Tenpenny has ensured the train's sides were reinforced to be bullet and explosion resistant. It's not invincible.

I think that's all I had for the train. I'll edit if I think of anything else. If anyone else has interesting ideas for the train, feel free to throw in.

Also Witty, awesome ideas man, I like the way your brain works. I especially like the warring Brahmin herders idea, and the Portland jumpers. They can be wearing skinny jeans and scarves.

I guess I'll be patrolling or building stuff in car three at night, since robots don't sleep. Not sure what the robots in fallout are powered by. Fission batteries perhaps?
Will car four have enough room to haul salvage? I assume so, but as I want to build a high-precision claw (basically handtools built in) and other things, it would be good.

Name:Logan (Formally Victor Logan Smith)

Age:25 (When he was first mutated)/144 (When New Vegas happens)

Bio: Logan was born in Idaho in Vault 99 being interested in working on guns mostly rifle being taught by his grandfather being given a BB gun firing on radroaches every since he was a boy.The young boy would read many books on guns and how a wepon works and the inner workings of a gun.He found this to be very fascinating which would he would get made fun of for this.He later left the vault to adventure out of the vault much to the dismay of the other vaulties.He did odd jobs for the towns people of the surrounding area mostly working as a gun for hire mainly as a sniper which he excelled at then most people.He made his way to California form tales of riches and other items form the old world that could be fixed and sold for a high price.He grew a relationship with a women named Jolene and were to be married after he had stayed in their group of adventurers named The Regallia for seven years.

But a love triangle was going on from a man in their group named Billy who loved Jolene and would always try to find a way to kill Logan. During a exploration that in Vault 04 in Southern California his team was ambushed by some super mutants that were told of his exploration team form Billy.He was turned into a super mutant as was some of his team members although some of them were transformed into Centaurs and Floaters leading him to regret and anger at The Master and his army.

He worked with the Master's Army as a mechanic and solider but mostly working as a sniper watching over the Mariposa Military Base for any intruders and would shot down any wanders or B.O.S.After the fall of The Master he was stationed at a Master Army area a village called Jessup Falls,He didn't follow the other mutants east but returned to his former lover Jolene.Unfortunately Jolene had married and had a child with Billy who lied about his death for the time he was with The Master.When Logan wanted to rekindled with Jolene she didn't want anything to do with Logan who got angry along with being jealous murdered Jolene by snapping her neck.When Billy came back form having a affair with a prostitute Logan was at his home the super mutant stabbed him with a broken steel pipe and squished the head of the prostitute still in his mad rage.

When he came too a few hours later he had a mental breakdown crying in the room filled with bodies of the women he loved and the man he hated.The baby that was a girl was crying her eyes out Logan took pity on the baby bringing it to a old friend of his a man named Joel Burtmen to be taken care of.Logan then wandered the wasteland showing his more friendly side to people but his three other personalities one that is angry and prone to violence and a quick temper while the other one a more sorrowful and quite.The other one is more cold and brash showing no sympathy or empathy for humanity or people suffering.

Right, I'm gonna make a post since I'm gonna be at a con all day.

I didn't get to sit in the ball pit for an extra hour.

Actually i'm going to meet chris avellone and go to his panel!

It occurs to me I may not have been entirely clear as to how scrap do what he do. The parts obviously don't speak to him, he merely projects his own emotions onto them and his thus he crafts items from them his subconscious deems useful in any given situation. For example the bottle cap Dallas dropped that Scrap was seen coddling was his reaction to being surrounded by strange and accusing humans and needing Haylee to reassure him of his place there.

This is also why, thought the reason alludes dear Scrap, the majority of his parts want to hurt others and are subsequently why his expertise lies in weaponry.

Ok, thanks. That means no recharging. You might want to collect them if you kill any though. Spare 200kw generators might come in handy.

Also, the type IIs had rechargable energy cells, so I'll say that's where the Enclave got the schematics for them.

Have a good time but try not to get arrested.

That makes a lot of sense.

Sorry but i am wondering if my guy is accepted?
