[OOC] Fallout: Terror of the Everglades

@Ammokkx@Voltus_Ventus

Ammokkx, thank you for being true to the lore of Fallout. You are right there is no one who is half ghoul, half pure human. the body could not allow it. The necrosis would poison the living half. However, Volt seems to have gotten very lucky with how his body decomposed. Only part of his flesh looks ghoulified. This does not make him half ghoul, this makes him ghoul. He would behave completely like a ghoul when considering environment. In fallout 4, there is a perk called Ghoulish. This allows the player to use radiation to restore hp just like a ghoul. it does nothing to affect the look of the player.

@MarsAdept

Fallout 4 is a mess, but I digress.

If only part of his flesh is ghoulified, but his internal bodily functions aren't, then he shouldn't be considered a ghoul. That's a scarred human. There isn't anyone that just looks like a half ghoul because that's just not how ghoulification works. Your body decomposes wholly, and when you stay in radiation for too long after that point and get unlucky, so does your brain. He has shown to clearly live in a power plant which is irradiated, making it so that the rest of his skin would decompose as well.

I will say that this isn't a bad argument though. If you can shoot down this one of mine, I'll yield.

[POOHEAD189]

@AmmokkxThere is a complete difference between criticizing and being a dick.
Exhibit A: I make a Dragon character

Person 1: Hey, sorry, there's no Dragons here. This is fallout.
Person 2: Don't be absurd. Dragon's don't exist here, did you even PLAY the games!?

Both spoke their mind, only one was being mean about it. You need to learn the difference.

[Ammokkx]

@POOHEAD189 I very clearly did the first. I never accused him of not playing the fallout games. Yes, my wording is strong, but I never made a personal attack. All I did was state facts.

Sugarcoating my opinion isn't going to help me, you, nor the guy I'm speaking to. Making your opinion come over less fiercely than it is only leads to you getting ignored. 'Treat others the way you would like to be treated', right? I don't mind being treated the way I treated Voltus, because it's fair.

[POOHEAD189]

@AmmokkxMe, nor anyone else (that have spoken thus far at least) thought that you spoke in a way that was appropriate. And speaking in such a way won't help me, you, or whomever you're speaking to. It will only make them feel bad, not want to change, just like what actually happened earlier, case in point.
However, I'm not here to fight or hold grudges. Just letting you know for the future. I apologize myself if I made you feel bad by my statements. (Hope we have fun in this RP!)

History: Carver was born in Jacksonville, Florida 23 years before the bombs fell to a family of mixed Celtic and Seminole heritage. His father worked in a steel mill and his mother worked as an attorney for the Mayor of the largest city in Florida. They never had the money to send him to college, and Carver had been working odd jobs since he was 15. The list includes bag boy, courier, zoo attendant, Karate instructor, deli worker, and now Everglades tour guide. For nearly 3 years, Carver was a freelance guide, being paid for the service of taking tourists out and viewing the Florida wilds up close. He came home for his vacation, spending a few weeks with his folks who had him sign up for the ridiculous 'Vault' idea. He was to head back to Brandon the next day when the bombs fell. He and his family made it in just in time. He was frozen in Vault 189.
Next thing he knew, his capsule opened and he fell out, coming face to face with an armed Ghoul who hid behind another capsule. Both seemed surprised to see one another, and after some convincing on the Ghouls part that he wasn't dreaming, he was given a gun. They both managed to dispatch the three raiders that had been chasing the Ghoul, which had led him inadvertently into the Vault, scrambling to find a button to close himself in, which instead opened up Carver's capsule. Unfortunately, the gunfire broke the opening mechanism, leaving his family frozen indefinitely.
He began to travel with his new companion, Chek, a heavily armored ghoul with a shotgun who almost never spoke. They traveled all along the gulf, and after a year of surviving fights against raiders, mutants, and even a super mutant or two, they found themselves back in North Florida.

@POOHEAD189 I count 39 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. You've still got a point you could spend.

[POOHEAD189]

@AmmokkxThank you. I will add that to luck

In fallout 4, there is a perk called Ghoulish. This allows the player to use radiation to restore hp just like a ghoul. it does nothing to affect the look of the player.

@MarsAdept

Oh, and by the way, Ghoulish still kills the player if they accumulate too many rads. And I don't see him dying of rads.

EDIT: Okay, this is really bothering me too much. I think I'll just exit stage right and relieve myself from the frustration. Have fun.

@Ammokkx

Look I've changed it in my CS, it's at the end of the discription.

[Orlan]

Two little problems and off they go, our group of explorers and scavvers will certainly interact interestingly.

[ImpLaughs]

wh....what? So much happened in such a short span of time and over the course of me sleeping and going to work :O

[EurmalEye]

@ImpLaughs I have no idea O.o

[Orlan]

I believe someone left because of inaccuracies... Not too sure because the sun particularly hates Britain at the moment.

@POOHEAD189

Ah, it's probably about time someone tagged barter. We need more charisma in general.

@Orlan

What do Britain and a rubbish newspaper tabloid have to do with the goings on of this thread? O.o

[Orlan]

I meant the giant ball of fire and plasma, not the right wing toilet paper for rats with no self esteem... Actually saw a rat do it's business on it then just slump down rather pathetically beside the newspaper.

[ProPro]

So what you're saying is that the sun hates you, therefore heat stroke is preventing you from being too sure?

[POOHEAD189]

I should have a history done by tonight, my friends.

[Orlan]

Never mind, it is far too warm to debate... Did we all like the Fallout 4 endings?
