Isabella Dutch

Name: Isabella Dutch

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Appearance: Is 5' 8" tall, weighing 140 pounds. Has a B/W/H of 38/24/36 inches.

Personality: Friendly and well-mannered, Isabella is no stranger to social interaction. She has had extensive experience talking people into doing what she wants, although she rarely does so with malicious intent. She deals with her problems head on, and generally speaks her mind when. Although, she will generally relent to many arguments when it is clear she can't convince the opposing party. While she doesn't have any sort of superiority complex, Isabella is quick to get annoyed at her fellow Vault dwellers, especially if things don't go her way.

Occupation: Doctor

Biography: Born like any other person in the Vault, Isabella has gotten accustomed to the filtered air and artificial sunlight of the Vault. Her family were all considered some of the Vaults best minds, so Isabella was pressured at a young age to do well in school. She read many books throughout her childhood and adolescence, without having much in the way of interaction with fellow dwellers. However, this insularity paid off, as she was able to pass her GOAT exam and land a job as a Vault Doctor. She breathed a sigh of relief as she began her training, but the world of work was much different than the world of study. She soon had to perfect her interpersonal skills, realizing that the mouth was as powerful as the mind.

Now, Isabella lives comfortably and is familiar with many Vault residents, although she often wonders how life is outside the Vault.

@Dende

I will be working on the character a little bit more than post soon.

[Dark Cloud]

Name: James G Morningstar

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Appearance: A scruffy man who looks about to be in his thirties, His height is about 5 ft 10 inches and 160 lbs, he wears a ragged leather vest with a stained white tee shirt and some ripped jeans, he has large muscles and his features are chiseled.

Personality: You will learn...

Occupation: Mechanic/Inventor

Biography: Before the nuclear fallout, he was a respectable business man who sold and repaired cars and other vehicles after and now he has degrade to a useless mechanic who tinkers with motors and tries to create things, this has kept him sane he has always told everyone that they should open the vault or whatever the men talked about on the radios but mainly he was interested in forging new inventions with the junk they found.

Otherwise he was born to a family who wanted him to become a doctor, he has a little medical training but not a lot.

[Irisity]

Save me a spot?

[Dende]

Gotcha
Edit: Oh, and accepted, both of you

[Darcs]

Yo @Blackmist16, how did he sell cars before the war? To my understanding this is starting 200+ years after The Great War. Unless he was ghoulified getting into the Vault (which, brah-- that'd be cool), he was almost certainly born in the Vault, after the war had already occurred.

[Dende]

Yeah.. Was that added in or did I actually not catch that...

If he worked on cars before the nuclear fallout, he like 230 years old, which would be cool, but nah brah.

I can understand the idea of the vault housing a couple of engines for reasons, and him working on them (making scooters and shjt, idk) and such, but that's the best I can hand you.

(although, a ghoul character would be nice somewhere down the linee)

[ThinkingInk]

I would like to live under the earth with all of you! I'll get working on a character.

[Robo27]

So can I get a spot save as well? Definitely interested in a fallout RP

[ThinkingInk]

Name: Maes MacCannon

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance:

This is the last thing Maes sees in the mirror before starting his day. He stands at 6'3" with a muscular build developed through routine diet and fitness over years. Becoming very comfortable in his jumpsuit and work boots through extensive wear, he is hardly seen in anything else aside from gym clothes. Not many people look his way though, in fear of the daggers he perpetually stares.

Personality: Words commonly associated with Maes are "Temperamental" and "Scary". To others, It seems that his natural body temperature is permanently 10 degrees higher than the norm. If anyone dares to get within arms distance of him, they might come to realize he isn't a bad guy. A gentleman who knows how to have fun with any group. While he despises small talk, having a conversation with him reveals his intellect and charisma. That is, at least, until it gets heated. His assumption of superiority over others might not be far from a complex, but it's found in many people who work as hard as he does. If his record of outbursts and complications with other service members was erased, he would been seen as a high-productivity, stress-besting motivator/workaholic. Because of the latter, which shows no sign of slowing down, the former is usually shrugged off by his higher-ups. At his best, he is a gallant and capable leader that'll do whatever it takes to achieve whatever it is that needs achieving. At his worst, He is a destructive (to both himself and his environment) and chaotic insubordinate.

Occupation:
Primary Systems Operations and Management - "Yeah, sounds cool or whatever but I'm a glorified button pusher most of the time. Why do you think I'm in here turning knobs and reading meters instead of some second floor - dope? I make sure the systems vital to us living stay running and I go maintain them with some other handymen so they stay that way. Oxygen flow up to par? Check. Food storage temperatures within range? Check. There's a fire? Better seal the doors and remove the oxygen until its safe again. What? The lights? Listen, I don't give a radroach's rear about if you are in the dark or not. What else do you need?"

Biography: Growing up was rough for Maes. He was the only child of a mother who helped raise so many other boys and girls as a school teacher for early ages. His father, whom he believes he drew his brutish side from, was one of the toughest men among the Engineering Department - until he lost in a fight with a malfunctioning piece of heavy machinery. After that, it seemed all of the attention he got was negative. He would fight kids grades higher and in numbers. Sneak around after curfew. And in one fairly memorable instance, ordered the Overseer himself to do something not-so-pleasant with his personal record.
Maes made his name known for other things though. The results of his G.O.A.T. raised eyebrows as well as his ability to multitask and work efficiently without mistakes. That's how he ended up young with a supervisory position. His adult years have been filled with routine. Early mornings, early nights. Gym-work-lunch-work-sleep-repeat. Now he is looking for bigger mountains to climb.

[Dende]

Nice CS Man accepted, and sure you can have a spot!

[Voltus_Ventus]

Expect my CS to be finished tonight, or tomorrow morning. I've been busy with life and other RPs but I really want to do this. So if you famous spare just a bit more time, I'd be grateful.

[Dark Cloud]

Yeah.. Was that added in or did I actually not catch that...

If he worked on cars before the nuclear fallout, he like 230 years old, which would be cool, but nah brah.

@Dende

((Okay you know I am just going to take a deep breath....))

This is now pissing me off there are always such things as cars or engines or anything mechanical and first of all how does anyone else have a flipping occupation if it's been 250 effing years.

Explain that to me, oh and he is also an inventor I just thought it would be cool and shit but...you know what I guess not, and BTW maybe people should pay attention to theses things before they happen.

[Darcs]

@Blackmist16 Bruh have you ever played Fallout?

[Dark Cloud]

@Darcs

Yes I have I will make a slight change to the sheet.

[Dark Cloud]

@Darcs

There it's fixed.

[MelancholyMellie]

Name: Agatha "Bewo"

Gender: Female

Age:64

Appearance:Her snow white hair is matted in several spots, hands gnarled and wrinkled from years of constant use. She has a small hump in her back formed from years of crawling through vents and shafts. She has on an older style vault suit that is stained with grease, sweat and blood. She rarely washes and appears to be generally senile and unclean.

Personality: Distant, flat affect, emotionally labile if provoked or approached without warning.

Occupation:No true job, lives in the deepest parts of the vaults maintaining machinery as she sees fit.

Biography: Agatha, or Bewo, as the dwellers call her was born to a pair of brilliant scientists. Her father a trained physician pioneered vault medicine technology. Improving upon the original StimPak design, increasing its functionality and ease of use. Her mother one the opposite spectrum was a celebrated engineer. At the 100 year mark of living in the vault space had run low. Her mother and a small team of engineers studied the vaults original schematics intensely. After years of calculations and testing various scenarios they were finally able to expand the vault, breaking through the earth below opening up space to expand the vault ensuring that future generations would have the space they need to continue to grow.

Unfortunately brilliance often has a dark side. Agatha's mother at the age of 42 had a schizophrenic break when Agatha was only 9 years old. She murdered her husband, Agatha's father, in his sleep. Luckily a passing dweller over heard his muffled cries and decided to investigate. He was able to catch Agatha's mother and bring her to justice. Found guilty she was executed leaving Agatha orphaned.

Growing up in the small orphanage Agatha kept to herself, developing an interest in machine at a young age. During a middle school mock G.O.A.T test Agatha was found to have off the charts intelligence and incredible aptitude for mechanical work. The head machinist was notified and he quickly took the young girl into his care. She was groomed as his replacement and 10 short years later at the ripe age of 23 Agatha became the lead mechanic in charge of the maintenance and safety of the vault. She did her work diligently and thoroughly. During her time as the lead mechanic Agatha made several upgrades to systems in place that improved efficiency and safety ten fold. The vault at 160 years old was running better than ever.

However it all came crashing down 10 years later. The deepest part of the vault, the area her mother had helped create was having a mechanical failure in one of the power rooms. A room designed to run independently. It was crucial it be repaired before sectors lost power. Agatha trusted only herself for this job and ventured down to the depths alone. Unfortunately she was unable to get there in time and the depths of the vault lost power. Water filtration systems, oxygen recycling and food production for the bottom part of the vault was brought to a halt. The few dozen families living in that section were able to relocated safely while the maintenance team assured everyone that Agatha would be able to handle it.

Lost in the dark Agatha had a minor breakdown. Her mind panicked and shut down. she knew how dangerous the depths were without power. Some time later hours, days or even weeks she was able to finally come to her senses and find her way to the power room. Working by the light of her pip boy only Agatha was able to repair the automated system and get the power plant running again. It had taken her 4 days since she left. 4 days alone in the dark. A rescue party found her hours later, and were overjoyed having thought her dead. Their joy quickly faded however as they saw the shell of the woman in front of them. It seemed the demons that had haunted her mother had manifested within her.

She wasn't violent but she wasn't all their either. Agatha muttered to herself and refused to be taken away from the power plant. Instead she chose to stay. The team gave up trying to take her after a a particularly vicious struggle. Instead they chose to leave her as dead, reporting to the overseer that they had found her dead in the depths. A small memorial was held for her honoring her sacrifice in restoring power to the vault.

Years later reports of a small woman living in the maintenance shafts of the deeper parts of the vault began to crop up. The kids began to call her Bewo, the demon of the vault. Mothers used this as stories to scare kids into behaving. "Play nice or the Bewo will get you." Agatha has no malicious intent though. Instead her life is spent maintaining the systems behind the scenes. Her fractured mind only put at ease when she is working with machines. In the years since her demise their has not been a single mechanical issue.

@MelancholyMellie

I clap to this character.

I mean for...

[Dende]

As do I! And I mean clap to it.

It gives the vault some more backstory, and we have an OLD character. Accepted.

And Blackmist, here's the deal, I'm sorry that I missed it, however, you can't instantly start getting angry about these things. Fallout is Fallout. You can just Google vault 101 and likely get a good idea of how vaults work.

Regardless, I imagine not everybody knows everything about it, and I'm alright with it, as this is early in to the whole thing.

Also, people with WIPS, if you could please, finish up in a timely manner, that would be FANTASTIC.
