[OOC] Fallout - The Empire Wasteland

[TheYouthPastor]

"War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over."

- William Tecumseh Sherman

War never changes. In the heart of the big apple fires burn, war drums beat, and forces move on the ground that threaten to rip Manhattan island apart. Here the combined forces of the Wastelands greatest mercenaries are in a brutal stalemate with the Raider Ramsay. Out of the rubble of the New York Museum of Natural History, and on the backs of slaves, Ramsay has built an empire. Rileys Rangers, The Talon Mercenary Company and The New San Antonio Freelancers exchange fire, and lives with Ramsays followers while on the horizon something far more sinister stirs. From the west, an army of slaves and integrated tribals march under the banner of Caesar, Led by the Legate Circe. This is all foreign to you, however. Your only concern has ever been your home, Vault 148.

Hey pastor, can you give me a run down of the other characters?

[TheYouthPastor]

Sure thing, @Voltus_Ventus

John Kard was the adviser to the former overseer. He opposed the opening of the vault fifteen years ago and brought the vault out of chaos in the wake of the raider attack.

Elijah Coffee led the vault security forces during the raider assault and at great personal risk led a team of security to rescue a group of vault dwellers trapped in hydroponics. He took grenade shrapnel to the shin which to this day impedes his movement.

Janet Jones worked hand in hand with John Kard to re-establish leadership after the attack. It was initially her idea to establish a council in the first place.

Isaiah Deitz was a reluctant member of the council, only joining at the repeated request of John. He is brilliant, far more brilliant than his job in hydroponics allows him to be, but he hates making decisions about vault policy. Government is not his forte.

Gregory Morgan recently took the place of Councilor Maddock, the original Director of Maintenance. He has a gift for machines and people and is one of the only reason those who work in maintenance are content with their hard and thankless job.

Perhaps you should post the OOC link into the interest check???

Hey everyone! I will be the Co-GM to this (hopefully) glorious roleplay. I will be posting my character in the Character Tab momentarily.

I have set up a google sheets spreadsheet for us in order to keep track of our characters locations as well as current inventories. It can be edited by anyone and I'll keep a link for it inside my signature from now on. It should help keep things clear when writing out your IC posts. :)

Fallout RP - Current Locations and Inventories

Edit: Let me know if you are not able to edit it.

Edit 2: @gowia You should have access to it now. :)

@Mike Wasowski

made request for access to sheet.

[Voltus_Ventus]

There are a lot of engineery type people in our little group and none of us are gun nuts, I think this should be rectified.

[gowia]

@Mike Wasowski got access :)@Voltus_Ventus im happy to edit mine, but it will require some time. Also what are gun laws in the vault???

[TheYouthPastor]

Security are the only ones allowed to openly carry loaded firearms, however Due to the small population and evident threat of the outside all vault citizens are offered basic fire arm training. Feel free to edit YCs since we haven't started yet, but all players will be assigned to maintenance for plot purposes. This makes sense since you are posted where you are needed, not necessarily where you are skilled. We're still waiting on two players to post their characters. If they don't post by this evening then I will continue without and re-open applications. @gowia @Voltus_Ventus @Mike Wasowski

[gowia]

Okay...i will edot mine to be former sercurity. Now maintenance.

Changes made, let me know if it is okay.

[TheYouthPastor]

[gowia]

[thegreenleafe]

Picture:Jimmy

Name: Jimmy Jiminez

Sex: Male

Age: 43

Personality: Gruff and reserved, even with whiskey coursing through his system.

Biography: Years before the opening of the vault by John Hargrave and the massacre of Vault Staff, Jimmy was married to a wonderful wife, Destiny, who worked in the Kitchens. It was a cat and mouse affair but Jimmy finally mustered up the courage to ask her out. Their love blossomed and soon he asked his wife to marry him, sadly he had no ring passed down from father to father so he made his own out of tungsten carbide to symbolize unbreakable love. Years after they had a daughter and when she was fifteen years old the vault was opened and raiders flooded in. His daughter and wife were taken and the only way he could get them back was to trade weapons. That forced Jimmy to break in the armory an steal some sub machine guns. When Jimmy received his daughter, Emma, she was hooked on drugs and was brutally ravaged and his wife was in worse shape, she was dead. His daughter was pregnant from the encounter and killed herself only months later by ODing on Med-X. This crippling loneliness left Jimmy to turn to the bottle swallowing his feeling with each tumbler of whiskey.

-Drunkard

-Jury Rigger
-Crafty

Starting Inventory: Flash engraved with "Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them." Repair Bag with tools and the odd piece of equipment or two.
