Noting first and foremost so people may not need to ask as much. At any given time someone may join in, just make a CS and pop it out there.

Notes Before the CS:
-Manhattan like anywhere in the waste is ravaged in war, the Brotherhood of Steel and their Outcasts fight for technology in the ruins of the city. The NCR still fights the local populace of raiders and fiends, trying to act as peaceful lawmen though have declared a chunk of the city basically under martial law of their men. New groups are constantly rising and falling but these three dominate in major sections. Mercenary bands exist everywhere, fighting for the factions that pay most and constantly killing civilians in "crossfire." Besides, they don't need their caps anymore... It is your option to work in these factions, or to try and take everything over on your own but ultimately the objective is to make a single force dominate or if you are a badass of the wastes: a single man. (Or woman!)

Factions: The three major factions are above. It's rumored the Enclave have a presence but it's not confirmed. You may NOT play Enclave.

Brotherhood of Steel: Protectorates of the wastes the BoS stand to strip the technology away from savages that turned up after the waste. Though they aren't open to outsiders they do offer them smaller jobs as runners that allows them to eventually gain a type of citizenship with their faction. Starting in the BoS allows you to be no higher than a Knight. Your power armor can not be T-51, only T-45.

Outcasts: After the standoff in Washington when the Outcasts reported the behavior of their old brothers they were shocked to find they were occused of being in the wrong. This caused an uproar, no longer was a single chapter cut in half but the BoS as a whole was now torn and the war spread everywhere in the US, including Manhattan. The Outcasts have no interest in the wasteland savages though also hire runners. Being an Outcast runner paid better by far but earning their respect was near impossible if you didn't bring them exquisite things. Being in the Outcasts requires you to be new. If you were a Paladin for the BoS you were reborn in this new family. But hey, better than being an initiate (Though initiate is an option aswell.)

New California Republic: The NCR is bigger than the BoS and Outcasts combined. They have thousands of troops and conventional weapons, never so much as bothering with energy weapons. These men and women try to be old world military but fail to get the respect of the local populace. Being in the NCR you may be at most a Sergeant and are restricted to NCR gear and weapons.

Pip Boys-
The pip boy no matter how you got it, is now yours. This nifty device sorts your equipment and picks up radio waves. If you're skilled it can also hack into computers better. You can use older models or invent your own. They can he handheld, on the arm, or anything else that is completely convenient. They shouldn't be awkward like on your backpack or leg. Just saying.

Gear- Your limits are your imagination. Any weapon can exist here but no starting with things like explosive launchers such as a fat man, grenade launcher or missile launcher. Armor is not restricted by much but power armor is only for full faction members. T-45 Max.

Player made factions: Your faction can be a street gang or a mercenary group or really anything you want! If you want a faction with power armor run it by me first and we'll see but most likely not to be honest. You may at most control a single city block and you need to define your objective. Even a caravan could take the city.

Any other details you may need just ask and I'll answer. Otherwise, you'll learn more in the story itself which is much more fun. ( So don't ask too much! ^That is limited for a reason in info.)

Negs: (Works opposite of tags, you are weak in this skill! For every tag you MUST have one neg and can have up to three tags. Choose wisely,if you're bad with explosives I'll likely force a mine to blow if you try to diffuse it.
Gear: Keep it reasonable guys, three mags too a weapon. One primary, one secondary and a melee at most. You may give up one for something else like grenades (max three.) Or anything else. You think would be vital.
Faction: One faction, and your status. There's a difference between BoS and a BoS runner

And hey, don't put down a bio or personality. Does someone want to know? I guess the characters should find out then huh?

Can I write a few suggestions as to what I think feels wrong about the OP?

If you'd like to then of course, it's within your right.

Site is glitching out sorry for the odd double.

Thank you, I just didn't want to jump in and go, this is wrong, or that. First off let me say I've been very active on the Bethsoft FanFiction Forums I'm even building my own personal setting for a unseen location.

Now I don't see a year for RPers to grasp when they are, decide on a year. Something around the games, maybe ten or so years after. Or even some years after the great war. My first Fallout RP was set twenty years after the great war, with the remnants of Texas Rangers doing what they can.

Personally all the factions seem out of place, the Outcasts we're just for F3, though I see them setting up shop here more than anyone else. I'd rename them though, Paladin Casdin was the founder. Name them after him.

Then the only other Brotherhood members Lyons, would be too busy playing hero to move out here. And NCR would take decades. As they are fight wars on various fronts. They'd have to conqueror the wasteland all the way from California just to be reasonable. Of course Basing factions on already existing ones would work much better.

I don't mean to ruin anything for you guys, I love the Fallout series. That's why I think let RPers create their own Factions, get them to brainstorm a little. Make sure their involved as well. I know I came in here to offer suggestions, and I'd love to join as the other Fallout RPs I'm in might be dying off. We've had one for over a year already going. Though until I know for sure, I simply wouldn't have that time, not now anyways. They don't have to ruin them if they don't want.

The Outcasts are here for the reasons explained above, and it's a reasonable estimate to say it'd be around a decade after. The series is rather centeral in it's time frame. And they kept the name for the proud bearings of the originals. The outcasts called themselves such and were never afraid to say it's what they were hence why it was kept.

I never said Lyons was out here, the BoS are everywhere and again it was explained in the Outcasts description why the fight was here as well. Neither of the leaders are the same, these are completely separate chapters torn by internal conflict. It's was to be explained in the story itself how the NCR got so far east and for the sake of that I won't explain it here because this entire system to to let people learn from the wastes. If they want to know, their characters will ask.

Fair enough, it seems a little hard for me to swallow. But it is your RP, I just voiced what I felt was wrong in my opinion. Either way I hope this lasts for a good long while, I always love reading Fallout RPs.

I understand but that's what Rps are for. They often have a "What if" factor involved. Now I just wait for those of the interest checks to pop in.

Gear: 9MM pistol 2 mags, Varmint rifle with suppressor and 2 mags, trench knife (Let me know if any of this is too much, figured the varmint rifle would be what I used as a ranger in the back story, hence the suppressor.)
Faction: NCR, ex-ranger. Well liked.
Appearance: Approximately 5'10" weighing about 180 pounds. He has dark black hair and green eyes. A scar runs from just under his right eye down his cheek. He generally has a small beard to help hide it, as some women and kids don'ts like it. He typically wheres a ranger hat and his old ranger vest outfit minus any insignia.
Other:

Two basic weapons and a knife isn't too much. If he were still NCR the suppressor would be a problem but since not that's fine aswell. Looks good, accepted.

Alright, thanks. Looking forward to this one.

Of course! As well as the sewers and any notable location you want. I will be using dice to decide certain things as a GM hut this isn't tabletop so be wary of what you may find down there.

Nyther, I asked that for Factions you specify between being a Runner and a member of the faction itself. Right there it just says outcasts, but your character appears to be a raider. If it's a runner please fix that and accepted. If it is a full member specify rank and you'll be outfitted like an Outcast.
