[OOC] A Life in Salem - A Fallout RP

[Prizrak]

So reading through these posts, is this a slice of life RP? I'm going to wait for @Andronicus23 to reply before doing anything, but there doesn't seem to be a coherent plot.

@Stitches

Agreed, I kind of wish there was at this point.

Quite a few people are busy this weekend (myself included) So things have sorta slowed down but should pick back up on Monday. :D

[Stitches]

Well I put in a filler post for now just to keep things moving. Once Summer's been fixed up I'm planning to just sort of...carve my own path here since it seems pretty freeform.

[2sky11]

@Stitchesthats correct. We are going freeform, you can form own path. No one is beholden to just one path. You can go on as many or as few arcs as you want. As long as you're respectful of everyone you'll be fine. Town will always be here for you to come and take a load off as you rp

[2sky11]

and more General plots will be seen very soon but as stated before it's is up to you whether or not you go along with it. Don't want to force anyone into anything. This is about writing and having fun while doing so within a fallout universe

[SkrtWithAWeapon]

@Kouropalates@DinoNuts Celeste has addressed both your chars, so whoever wants to reply first...;)

Added a very small post, just to keep the scene at the inn running smoothly.

X2-88 "Abel"

Name: X2-88 "Abel"

Age: 9

Race: Synth

Sex: Male

Skills: Unarmed, Robot Strength, Energy Weapons, Repair, Science

Personality: He speaks in an animated, robotic style fashion. His personality has a synthetic tinge and you can tell that he is not human-but that is more obvious by the robotic bits sticking out of his face.

Weapons & armor/clothing:
Abel wears a Courser Uniform and uses a Institute Laser Rifle. He also has built in Power Fists. Like all Coursers, he uses a Stealth Boy in battle.

(Previous) Occupation(s): Institute Courser, now Wanderer

Faction (Minutemen, Institute, BOS, Railroad, None. Etc): None

Backstory: X2-88, or Abel was a new style of Courser made before the Institutes base was destroyed. X2-88 is designed for high-risk assault and retrieval operations above ground. X2 is very capable at engaging enemies at range and is equally capable of direct assault and more subtle approaches.

After the destruction of the Institute base, he continued to be an operative for the Institute until he was deprogrammed by a member of the Railroad. He learned of the truth of the Institute and how harmful what he was doing was to Synth kind, but deep down he was still loyal to both the Institute and the Railroad. Confused, he decided he wanted nothing more than to live his life and abandoned them all. He has since worked for a guard for Diamond City, but after his face was damaged and he was revealed to be a Courser he was shunned, he abandoned them all and became a lone wanderer.

He has traveled across the Commonwealth, eventually reaching a new town: Salem. It is here were he will see if they can accept a Synth as a normal man and if he can find a place for himself.

@Grecdid the railroad do a mindwipe on the synth? like would he recognize members of the institute?

[Grec]

@2sky11 Not a mindwipe, just getting rid of his indoctrination slave loyalty.

[2sky11]

@Grecmy question then would be what would he do if he saw someone from the institute. I only ask cause we have two characters who live under the radar and no one in town knows they are from institute

[Grec]

@2sky11 He'd probably avoid them and not draw any attention to them, he doesn't want anyone to know he had anything to do with the Institute asides from being built by them and revealing the identities of Institute members would do just that

[2sky11]

@Greched probably recognize mine, since he was part of SRB, the other character it's possible he might not as he worked with FEV in biological and he had taken leave of absence from work close to the end.

Approved

We have a new NPC, she'll be waitress/cook at the diner

Betty- Waitress/cook

Betty is somewhere between 17 to 19 years old. Not entirely sure as she wasn't raised by her parents but an older couple that had found her abandoned on the road. She has kept on the move and joined the Children of Atom to keep herself safe and fed. Though after an Inquisitor showed up, she decided it was time to leave and made her way to Salem. There she found a job at the diner and now works as a waitress and cook. She has plenty of attitude, and she says what's on her mind. It tends to get her in trouble, but she doesn't care.

[Grec]

@2sky11 Joining the story seems to be a little daunting atm, what's something I absolutely need to know?

[2sky11]

@Grec
avoid the crater and lighthouse to the south of salem. Also, stay out of museum of witchcraft, it is hinted that deathclaws still inhabit location. As you come into town, close to the diner you will see a wall being built. There is a super mutant in town, but he is friendly. Also, barney Rook is an NPC and he's pretty much mayor of town

@Andronicus23 Steve said for Cost price, not for a Price. I guess they don't have that term in Mercia but it means sold for the price it costs a manufacture.

Edited.

Changed Arthur's response as well slightly.

[Kouropalates]

I know this really makes no difference in the grand scheme, but I just want to point out that in the order of things, Nut was meant to go first in speaking to Skirt IC. I don't know why, but the fact it got overlooked has be a bit bothered. Not mad or annoyed at anyone, just more bugged the oversight itself happened.

[f8lcobra]

I know what you're saying, and if it was Brandy, i apologize. She has been iverlooked a few times too.
