Sorry Lone, good point, I totally forgot about that. I guess since your character isn't a doctor it slipped my mind. Between Hayley and Ellie we should be good then medically, though I'd still be happy to have a full on M.D. on board for major surgeries

Well the way I intro'd my character, and her backstory made her pretty much a doctor. The only reason I didn't say she is STRICTLY a doctor is because:

1) She's from the Pitt. They are built on top of a heavy raider background and nowhere near enough time has passed for them to actually escape that background. Therefore, although they HAVE civilized somewhat, I was trying to have her be a rough-and-tumble kind of character rather than a labcoat. She's meant to be more of a field medic "Make do with what you've got" kind of healer. Hence why she was hesitant to use any Med-X on Rebecca during our entry post because she's used to having next to no supplies and she didn't deem a superficial wound like that worth using med-x on (even though Rebecca being "A fucking pussy" in her eyes made her use it because she realized her companion couldn't take pain like most Pitt soldiers could.) and she knew that there was always a possibility way down the line that they would REALLY need the meds.

2) Nobody else knew how to pick a lock >.> I don't believe a single character here, other than my own, has the lockpicking skill. So I figured that it would fit in with the brutal field medic thing, claiming that on more than one occasion she had to actually break into a hospital (Seeing as you wouldn't be able to just tear down the doors or shoot the lock open) to get supplies or access to tools they didn't have.

I know, together we can transfer your brain into a Robo-brain body if you get too injured. I'll just need a schematic of the human body, in as much detail as you can give me...

Hello anyone here?

Yes we're here...

With your app in it's current state I find it unlikely that it will be accepted.

This RP is holding a high-casual standard and, no offense, your app looks like it was thrown together in five minutes.

How could a super mutant fit in "LA Riot armor" when they're three times the size of any human?

And you should at least try to get a little more backstory... just saying "He did odd jobs for money. Ended up in california, got turned into a super mutant. after the master was beaten he roamed around and helped people" that doesn't tell anything about the character...

You should think of everything that happened to the character during his... 144 year long life. there HAD to have been a good amount of stuff that shaped him into what he is this day.

Sorry, I dont mean to sound like a bitch but there's a good chance that's what's gonna be said about it if the GM takes a look... I don't wanna leave you hanging.

^This.
Pup pretty much summed up everything pretty well though I will add, as a Super Mutant in this RP myself, you're going to be held to even higher standards than that to make sure you won't abuse the mechanics you have to work with.

Just an idea for when we get to Philly: as one of the few groups not to be seriously effected by the bombs, Amish have taken over, through cultural spread, not militarily, as they are pacifists. At least having Lancaster relatively untouched and the people still living relatively the same would be pretty cool. Kind of a commentary on how the technologically advanced people lost it all, when the backwards people survived.
Not sure how they'd survive raiders, though. Probably feed them, give them supplies, treat their wounds, and say goodbye.

I actually agree with that... that is an awesome idea... The amish would be the best suited for a situation like this so they would practically thrive once they adapted... They could be horrible xenophobic, and refuse to allow any technology at all in their civilization (So the bot's fucked, as is anybody with energy weapons) And they could have a kill-on-sight rule for mutants...

Or maybe they all have some form of mutation...

I wanna see some mutated horses... That was one thing I wished fallout would do: Add more mutated wildlife... Not just livestock and some stupid scorpions rats and mole rats....

What about Deer? I could see a stag going the route of a bighorner... Getting to the size of a clydesdale, with razor sharp antlers... Hawks large enough to carry off a small child... Massive *shudder* snakes... now that I have that last one in my head I can just picture an eastern diamondback with a rattle as thick as my head...

Ghoul Amish? Awesome, but they'd probably see it as a curse from God and banish them. As for the kill-on-sight policy for mutants, I don't think so. Maybe just run them off with torches and pitchforks, Frankenstein style.
The deer are a nice touch too.
I'd like them to have atavistic horses with scales and snake eyes. How about dolphin sized bass with razor teeth?

Actually, I was going to put 20' Rattlers with hypnotizing rattles in the Atlanta outskirts. With 30' Kingsnakes that could crush and eat Yao Guai. And of course Yao Guai like Brown bears. And coyotes with poisoned fangs (or just super high bacteria levels so it gets infected withing 10 min or so.) And of course Dandelions that grow 6-8' tall, feed on radioactive material, and drop millions of radioactive seedpods that choke you and poison you if you inhale them. (I already have the sheet written for that one.)
Name: Dandelion
Description: 6-8 foot tall weeds. They have the ability to selectively absorb radioactive minerals, leading to them being several times more radioactive than the soil.
Abilities: Drop radioactive seeds. If inhaled, cause choking and radiation level increase. Sickly sweet scent: Attracts people and animals, but makes them light-headed, eventually passing out. Strongest in daytime.
Loot: Radioactive plant fiber.

GUESS WHO ISN'T SLEEPING TONIGHT!

I'M JUST GONNA WALK OVER HERE AND LAY IN THE FETAL POSITION WHILE SOBBING

[TheUnknowable]

Just be nice to them, and the king snakes won't hurt you. They actually eat rattlers too, so, keeping one as a pet would be good.

[TheLonePup]

anybody who tries to keep one of those as a pet is getting a bullet to the skull... that is an entire DISTRICT of nopesburgh

Hm... I wonder how one of those would take to centaur-ification.

Too bad I have the animal friend perk >.> they won't give a shit :p

NO! FUCK NO!

But it'd be great! Giant snake throat tentacles to tear its prey in half, poison spit from a football field away, it could slither beside the train and watch over us while we sleep.

That's a good point, are centaurs animals?

Something tells me the Laser Gatlings on the train would have overheating problems if that happened.

Good, you can have Bob, the friendly King Snake as a pet.

[TheLonePup]

I'm... I'm just gonna go cry in the corner now... I'm not going to get any sleep tonight thanks to you two....
