"This is the Salem Minutemen, multiple attackers have just landed along the coast. Were evacuating the town but their cutting through our defenses and our men like nothing. There in some kind of new power armor, carrying plasma weapons and- Shit there here! Fire, keeping firing, for the Commonwealt-" The transmission ended, then all was silent in the Castle. The message had been on an open channel, all the Commonwealth had heard their cry. The recently named Elder Lyons sat across from the General McCoy, the two leaders surrounded by Ambassadors from the biggest towns. They were the Council of the Free peoples. A recently formed Government that united wastelanders from the Commonwealth to the Capital Wasteland. They had been meeting to discuss the idea of using old systems of Government when the message came though.

The General slowly stood. "We are at war, whoever that was certainly didn't like the idea of them calling for help. I might not know much but I know the stories of the Enclave, advanced power armor, plasma weapons, and killing all who aren't with them? That sounds like the stories your mother told me Elder Lyons." The gray haired General replied, He'd known Sarah Lyons when the Minute Men had first met the BoS. Of course now he had her son, James Lyons the was in his fifties and just as selfless as his mother. "That means they will want only one thing, our complete and total destruction." He finished pulling a pipe from his jacket and lighting it, ignoring his doctors warnings about his health.

Lyons simply nodded. "Yes, however if they have already hit Salem then that's going to be their base of operations. We need better information, soldiers to go investigate." With the mention of soldiers the Ambassadors jumped up screaming and shouting about how each of their towns were vital, how the outlying farms would need help and such. The general drew his pistol and fired into the air.

The bullet wedging itself in the ceiling as he blew smoke from the steaming gun. "I'm assigning three of my men from the Castle. If you don't want more taken from you garrisons then you will each cough up two thousand caps. We will hire the soldiers we need to scout and fight in Salem, the rest of the money will go to arming each of the towns and defenses. Those who do not chip in will have their garrisons removed." He finished putting the gun in it's holster. "Sound fair Lyons?"

The young man nodded looking at the other councilors who all mumbled among themselves. "I can also promise Vertibird Evacuation to those who give another two thousand caps." The Elder spoke softly, gently as if this wasn't him forcing even more money out of their pockets. In truth the towns swam in caps these days, with trade booming and many using the money to purchase luxuries. They all paid, now all that was left was to assembled those brave enough or dumb enough to face the Enclave.

-----------

Hello! As you might have read things are rather different in this timeline, taking place sixty years after Fallout four with a few timeline and canon changes. Sarah Lyons lived and served as Elder for many years, the NCR was victorious on the East coast and the Sole Survivor was used to make the Synths as Shaun died. The Institute and Railroad still fight however the are both much quieter as they now fear reprisal from the Brotherhood and Minutemen.

No if you want more detail on all the the things that are going on look here.


Rules:

1. As GM my word is final.
2. No arguing in the OOC, if you have a problem take it to PM.
3. Power armor is rare and you will need training to use it.
4. Avoid power weapons and god modding.
5. Have fun, if you aren't enjoying this then what's the point.
6. It's a wild wasteland, take the crazy with the normal.
7. See rule five again, it's that important.

Sorry for not getting this earlier!

Name: Amara Myers

Appearance:


Race: Human

Age: 23

Skills: Amara is the sort of person who's at home in the ballroom and the battlefield, a strong, hardy young woman who knows her way around guns and melee weapons, as well as unarmed combat. Skilled in speaking and etiquette, Amara is also a social person, able to nagivate high society and the woods. However, her main weaknesses are in science - she doesn't know enough about that stuff - as well as lockpicking; she can do stealth, but not lockpicking. Medicine is also another weakness - she knows only to inject Stimpacks, while she should not be called upon to repair more than her own weapons. And, of course, despite her speaking skills, she doesn't know how to haggle...

Gear: Submachine Gun, Pistol, Double-Edged Sword, Kevlar Vest.

Bio: Amara was born in the frontier town of Christmas Hill, a Wastelander settlement founded after The War, which made its living by exporting timber, game, and fur down to Boston. Her mother, Mary, was a healer and the most beautiful woman in town, although she had to deal with the suffering of having lost her first husband, a trapper named Dustin. However, their lives took a turn when a stranger came into town, heavily blooded and asking for medical attention, which was given by Mary. As it turned out, the stranger was a businessman from one of the more civilized settlements, Diamond City, who had been travelling to escape the responsibilities of his station, and got attacked by raiders. However, his near-death experience, as well as Mary's intervention, had changed him, and he now resolved to do better.

Over the next few years, as Amara grew into an adolescent, the businessman, whose name was Sirius Smith, visited the small town in order to 'explore business and investment opportunities', paying for a new school and a sawmill, as well as a tannery that made everyone involved more prosperous. Not merely that, but he asked Mary to marry him, and Amara to become his daugther. Amara was 16 then.

Diamond City was a different place than the frontier, but Sirius was truly a good person and tried to make them feel at home, as well as protect them from anyone who would treat them badly because of their origins. And, of course, Amara was a strong, spunky woman with a core of steel, and who learned how to navigate High Society quickly. Of course, she never neglected her weapons training, and as she grew older, she returned many times to the frontier in order to 'toughen herself up'.

Now, however, a true danger has come to the Wasteland, and Amara, feeling the call of duty, has begun inquiring how she can help...

Misc: Nothing yet.

I am interested. I will make a Character as soon as I find the time to.

I hope this is okay...

@Zetsuko Not that I am GM, but pre war would make you well... 300 to 500 years old minumum. This is from what I gathered some years after fallout 3 not the begining of the war. Having read your bio I can see that your artifact is rather overpowered, you have cited no draw backs and as it only needs a bit it isnt like you wont make more. If I was GM I would say add more draw backs.

Name: Michle

Skills: Sharpshooting, Lock picking, Climbing, Running
Gear: Sniper Rifle, Pistole, Lock picks, Knife

Misc:

@User I'm going off how it is in the game. Alec's artifact isn't really meant to have the strength side effect. Which only leaves it to stop radiation and ageing. Was it the serum or the amount he could get that was overpowered?

@Zetsuko Right say I have it, from what I gethered its after fallout three, like 100 or so years after Fallout three, so your old as fuuuu with no draw backs. Just say your a ghoul or that it needs more blood the more you use it.

@Zetsuko I kinda of agree... Perhaps the artifact makes him linked to anyone who drinks the serum or is attached to the cat? Meaning they have to stay together. Also nothing is radiation proof, resistant however I can do. Otherwise it seems alright, though since he's research assistant I assume he's not very talented with combat.

@Letter Bee Approved.

Name: Adamine Valhalla
Appearance:
Race: Human
Age: 21
Skills: Adamine is extensively good in sniping and wielding a machete, she's agile and quick witted with a sneaky side. She's good at both taking apart things putting them back together with a knowledge about how most electronics work, she worked on the computer assets of the power suits that the Atom Cats made, along with restoring and repairing old pipboys, stealthboys and computers, she's often off collecting circuit boards, wires and fusion cores to complete her tasks for the Atom Cats.
Gear: Sniper rifle, machete.
Bio: Adamine is a former member of the Atom Cats, she's a power armor engineer, though not owning her own suit she builds and modifies others, her area of interest is her sniper rifle which she's constantly customizing with long scopes, hair triggers and extended mags, she likes to constantly be cleaning her weapons, she's normally pretty standoffish but when she gets to know you she can be rather friendly. Having been raised with the Atom Cats since birth she was used to dealing with both power suits and all the technology of the old world that survived the war and the years to follow, Adamine doesn't hang around the Cats as a group, instead she has her own garage where she works on the tasks she's given, her life growing up was simple and rather easy considering the world they lived in. Her mother who was also an Atom Cat died shortly after she turns five, killed by an angry deathclaw, she was raised by an elderly man who also had adept knowledge of technology, he would constantly quiz her on models of power armor and the different mods that could be added to them. Adamine doesn't mind being alone in her garage though she longs to adventure else where, having grown bored with her responsibilities Ada takes her dog Ghost and often leaves, going to explore with the excuse of gathering parts.
Misc: Ghost, Adamine's dog companion, as pictured above (?)

@AdamantiumWolf I'd ask that you go a little in depth on the back ground. Maybe a little more on skills as well.

I'll finish it in the morning, still practically night here

@Apollosarcher hes already got the attachment to the cat. Anxiety with increasing severity the longer their separated. As for the radiation proof suit, it was 1am and i couldn't think of the words "modified hazmat suit".

And he's mostly good with shooting and hideing. His hand to hand just keeps him from getting beaten down to easy.

@Zetsuko Fair enough then.

Finished my character.

@Mr_pink Looks good but which Brotherhood was he part of?

@Mr_pink Looks good but which Brotherhood was he part of?

Mid-west

@Mr_pink Alright you can move it over into the character tab.
