A fallen city.TL;DR Summary:
- Fallout inspired
- Set in 2090, Texas
- A group of people have gotten a strange message through their Signal links (SLINKS), which function similarly to a pip-boy. The message is garbled and unreadable, but the title is a set of coordinates. The RP's main/first arc is about traveling to the coordinates to see what is there. There will likely be multiple arcs if the RP is successful enough.
- There will be side-quest like mini plots, which can be given be NPCs or given through various random transmissions.
- Our characters will be human/ghoul like characters. Nothing too overpowered, of course. As long as they would fit into the Fallout universe, they should be fine.
- The RP will not start directly after everyone gets the message, but it will start with everyone arriving in a settlement that has fresh water. That's where our characters will meet before going off on their journey to the coordinates.

Set the World on Fire
“I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart”
The Ink Spots (1941)
In the year of 2050, a nuclear war devastated the United States of America. Outposts and towns hold most of the remaining population, while others wander the wastelands and try to survive any way they can. The year is now 2090, and you have lived most of your life inside a pleasant little town in Texas. You were born, grew up, work, and will probably die there.
At least, until you get a message on your Signal Link (SLINK), from a mysterious source, the only part that you are able to decode is some coordinates in the title. In the hopes of finding great treasures and opportunity. You set out, equipped with whatever supplies you think necessary to travel out and find whatever lies at the coordinates.
The wastelands are a dangerous place though, vagabond. Filled with mutants, bandits, wild animals, radiation, and whatever other dangerous things your mind can think of. It'll be hard to survive and get supplies, especially since most folks don't feel like giving up anything they have. Not for free, at least.
Good luck, vagabonds.
This RP is based off of the Fallout universe, so the technology and general atmosphere of the roleplay will match that.
Out of Character Info:
Our characters will just be normal people that have lived in the wastelands for their whole life. Again, this RP is heavily inspired by Fallout, so back stories, and things about your character should fit into that universe. Characters can start out in the same towns/settlements if you want, or start in separate areas. Discuss that with the character that you wish to start out in the same area as.
As the GM (Co-GM can be decided later) I'll probably roleplay most of the NPCs, but if you wish to make your own NPC, please contact me first, whether it be a quest giver or just a random guy they find in a ditch somewhere. Most of the RP will focus on their journey to the coordinates and the various side missions/quests that they do.
Also, the technology will be very Fallout inspired, so weapons/gadgets from Fallout (3/New Vegas probably) are pretty much fair game as long as they aren't overpowered. Energy weapons, pool cues, swords, brass knuckles, guns, all of these are acceptable. Your character will start out with equipment too, but please use logic and realize that you probably shouldn't start with 900 mini nukes, Fat Man, and power armor. If you have any more questions, just ask.
