War Never Changes.[/i][/center] [indent] [i]We have all heard the stories of how the world used to be. Fruitful, full of life. People were happy, smiling. You were safe in your home, not having to worry about being attacked. You had clean water to last you your entire life, never once did you worry that maybe today would be the day someone sliced your throat. The life of the people was peaceful, we had atomic cars and robot butlers. But then the bombs fell, and the world we once knew existed no more. The bombs hit North America the hardest, the few were sealed away in radiation and blast proof vaults, walls of steel concrete and soil protected them and their families. But for the people on the outside who were hit in the blast were not so fortunate. The lucky ones died insantly from the blast, the not so lucky, died in the following days from the nuclear fallout, a slow painful death by radiation. It's been two hundred and fifty years since the bombs fell, and since then, North America has started to rebuild. Remnants of civilization have reformed, and the continent has had many conflicts over the centuries since The Great War. From coast to coast it has been 360 degrees battle, enemies on every front and every day a battle of survival. And yet, this is not where our story takes place. Our story takes place on the other side of the pacific ocean, in what used to Japan, where a new Feudal Empire is rising, remnants of the communist China still stands strong, and forces from the Americas are searching for a new place to inhabit in the fairly non-radiated coast of Japan's mainland. [/i][/indent] [hider=Setting] The World: [indent] 2077, the world ended, death by fire. Nuclear fire. The world killed itself, and most of mankind perished. But, man is a creature of perseverance, as such she has fought hand and claw to survive against the new form of nature. Mutated creatures roams what used to be the world, everyday is a fight. Now, it's 230 years later, the year is 2304, Europe is still in ruins, just like it was the night after the bombs had fallen, but America has several factions that aim at rebuilding the world, and so it would seem Asia does. This story takes place in the mainland of Japan, around the area of the city of Yokohama, where a power struggle is about to erupt. [/indent] Japan: [indent] Japan learned it's lesson when it came to nuclear power following the second world war, being one of the few voices of reason the Japanese government and people both pleaded with the rest of the world to stop the nuclear arms race. Having mostly decommissioned their own army they were quick to get annexed by China once the resources started running low in the world, while also being the first to be invaded by America when America launched their counter-assault on China, following Anchorage. Due to this, you will find a lot of Chinese and American influences and memento's in the wasteland.[/indent] Yokohama City: [indent]Formerly the second biggest city in the country, Yokohama used to be a prosperous metropolitan area, with a blossoming business district, many malls and stores, countless shops and restaurants and just as many nightclubs. Due to the pacifist nature of Japan following the war, Yokohama, like the rest of Japan was never targeted by the nuclear strikes of the Great War, thus a lot of it's people survived for a time before radiated monsters, raiders and crazed survivors took over the country. Now, Yokohama is like any other wasteland, desolated and reeking of death. Everywhere you will find radroaches, raiders and mutated creatures. The factions struggling for control of Yokohama and Tokyo. [/indent][/hider] [Hider= The Major Factions] [i]The Nobunaga Order; The Feudal Kingdom[/i] [indent]A order started in the late 22nd Century created in the center of the Japanese mainland, started in a old military base used much like the vaults in America. Inside the base they could find fairly untouched scrolls and weapons from a pre-war time, telling a tale of a time when Japan was a strong country with brave warriors, bound by honor and courage. The Samurai. The Shogun, leader of the Nobunaga Order is a man named Kenshin Ryoshima, a aging man who has lead the order since the passing of his father, whom followed in the footsteps of his father before him, Oda Ryoshima, the founder of the Nobunaga Order. The order started out small, staying only in the Nobunaga Base where they were created for several years, only venturing out into the wasteland to find resources, but eventually, scouts mentioned finding another base, one used by the Americans stationed in Japan before the war, a search party was sent on the Shogun's behest, speaking of metal husks that could turn any man into a metal-machine. The Remnants of T-45d Power Armor. Armed with modified power armor, given to the very best swordsmen in the order, the Nobunaga Order has been battling for the past two decades to cleanse Tokyo to make it their new capital, having several outposts by the coast in Yokohama. As such, the Shogun is seated in Tokyo.[/indent] [i]The New Communist Party Of China; The N.C.P.C.[/i] [indent]Believing in using the formerly Annexed Japan as their area to gather a army strong enough to take back the mainland China, the NCPC is lead solely by prewar Ghouls, generals and officers from the old Chinease army who had survived the nuclear blast. Their ranks are compromised largely by ghouls, but also by other sympathizers of the communist belief. They were unoffically formed as soon as the radiation had settled and those that weren't dead from the blasts had been turned into foul beings. Their struggle came from their brethren turning feral, but former scientist now turned into ghouls, the same that had created the stealth technology that had given China an edge in the war were quick to work on medicine that would slow the rate of which the brain of a ghoul will rot away. They are based in Southern Japan, where they have been gathering resources and recruits for their order. The chairman of the NCPC is a ruthless general known as Wei Lou Xin, a commander at the battle of Anchorage who still can clearly remember the days of Chinese Strength. They utilize mostly prewar weaponry, assault rifles, handguns and mounted machine guns. It is even rumored that they are in possession of tanks, yet it can not be confirmed.[/indent] [i]The Yokohama Settlers:[/i] [indent] The 'Natives' of Yokohama city Descendents of the first settlers on the land after the radiation had settled. They are mostly peaceful, but they do sport a medium sized militia of roughly hundred soldiers, using scavenged weapons and armor. They are under the command of Major Junn, a deserter of the Nobunaga Order, who has taught the settlers a thing or two about martial skills, and in his honor the militia has taken to calling themselves the Junns.[/indent] [i]The NCR[/i] [indent] The New Californian Republic are well known in America, they're a military power able to fight the Brotherhood of Steel, Ceasar's Legion and Raider gangs all at the same time without loosing ground, truly the closest thing to the pre-war Military power the world has ever seen. However, due to the multiple fronts of their battle in America, the NCR are spread thin and are running out a resources – most notably they are running out of ways to keep civilians safe. A recon team of 100 soldiers at 150 settlers to grow crops and build a settlement have been deployed, these soldiers range in skill from privates to hardened soldiers, from carpenters to electricains, farmers, physicians, artists, anyone who could pay the fee to go was allowed. They are lead by a five man council of Veteran Rangers who are not afraid to use their Big Iron to put down anyone who would go against the wishes of the NCR. However, due to the distance between Japan and America, they are limited in resources and unable to. The Five are sure to spread the will of the Republic to the Japanese Mainland. [/indent] [/hider] [hider=The Plot:] [indent]The plot behind this story is to survive, and explore a brand new wasteland. To interact with the factions, and the other players. While the I would like to do this completely sandbox-esque, I realize this is not possible, and thus will create plotlines as the game progresses, sadly forcing the players into groups, or a singular group. What plots there will be depends on the players, what characters you play and how you play them. If everyone decides to play as Communist, I will create a plot focused around this. Plot points will be added into this section when they appear in the IC.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Character Creation] [indent] You are free to create any kind of character you want, human, synth, mutant, ghoul, intelligent Deathclaw, whatever you want, as long as you can sell the character to me, as long as you can make me believe the character is plausible within the Fallout universe. And there are a lot of unbelievable things in this universe.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Rules] [indent] 1. All Guild Rules apply. No smut, no on-screen sex, keep it PG. Cussing and mild-gore is A-OK, it is fallout after all. 2. No arguing in the OOC. Your characters can have all the spats they want, I encourage that. Friendly trash talk in the OOC regarding the IC is fine. (My dad can beat up your dad's Deathclaw.) 3. GM Word is what goes. If you want to argue against one of the decisions, send the GM a PM, OOC complaints will be ignored. 4. The information provided on the OOC / IC / CS - OP is subject to alterations at any time, so make sure to check back often. 5. Have fun. Seriously, I'll feed you to the ghouls if you're bored.
