[OOC] Fallout: New York (Still accepting :D)

All right; this is a perfect time to talk, to argue, to have character development. Shadowsaint's character, Gabe, is already doing it with the Dogmeat scene; Hjalti and Marcus aren't doing so badly, either. But, well, the Rafts, which are being driven north by Aydon and the Brotherhood NPCs, can be diverted to wherever you want them diverted, or move at the pace you want them to go.

Basically, you can decide where you should go next (Brotherhood is only the most obvious suggestion), and what you can do next. Not to force anything, though, but Max, Vos, Jinx, Tom, Danny, Ahab, and David (Gabe left to clear his thoughts and be awesome) can probably afford to spend a few IRL days talking.

@Letter Bee
I'm planning on finishing up Lawrence now. I'll tag you when I finish.

@Simple Unicycle

Thank you.

[Simple Unicycle]

@Letter Bee I'm finished! Sorry for the short bio, I'll expand it later if that's mmkay.

Paladin Lawrence Wilson

Name= Paladin Lawrence Wilson
Age= 47
Looks= In his power armor. Not in power armor (used James from Fallout 3 because I couldn't think of anyone).
Personality= Lawrence is a shut-in alcoholic who doesn't enjoy being around people, but if forced to will try to find a way to enjoy it. His alcoholism worries many, as they fear he'll eventually die and they'll lose a rather valuable asset to the Brotherhood. Also, having grown up in the New California chapter of the Brotherhood, Lawrence believes in their classic tech-hoarding isolationist behavior. His interests include alcohol, reading up on old world history, and the music of Frank Sinatra.
Faction= Brotherhood of Steel
S.P.E.C.I.A.L= (42 Points spread wisely. Cannot go over 10 on any one stat)
Strength- 8
Perception- 5
Endurance- 7
Charisma- 5
Intelligence- 8
Agility- 5
Luck- 4

Traits= Built to Destroy and Heavy Handed

Perks= Demolition Expert, Lady Killer, Shotgun Surgeon, Size Matters and Terrifying Presence

Backstory= Lawrence was born in a BoS bunker to a Scribe and a Paladin. He was trained from a young age to shoot and fight, eventually gaining his own squad at the age of 19 named the 'Dirty Half-Dozen', consisting of himself and five other men. When he was 45, Lawrence and his squad were moved out east to Boston. After rescuing some Commonwealth Minutemen from a Deathclaw, Lawrence gained the laser musket that he has used since (after modifying it to his tastes, of course). A year later, and Lawrence and his squad journeyed to New York after hearing the situation was better there.
Boy were they wrong.
Anyhow, they chose to stay and train the recruits, and barely go on missions now. That is, until recently, what with the Enclave and all that.

Weapon choice= For melee, Lawrence prefers to use a super sledge (Fallout 3 version, in which it's all high tech). For ranged combat, he prefers to use a modified laser musket (which looks more like a laser rifle, aside from the crank), which he nicknamed 'The Pilgrim'.

Any other info not included in the above= When not in his power armor, Lawrence wears a leather jacket (similar to the leather jacket in Fallout 1 and 2, or the road leathers in Fallout 4).

@Simple Unicycle, Approved, but alert me when you expand it.

@jordy0403, talk in private?

[Eviledd1984]

@Letter Bee Okay should i wait for other people or make a post with my character going on the raft?

@Eviledd1984

You guys are already on the raft, so I think you should wait for other people.

[Eviledd1984]

@Letter Bee Okay,I guess could i have Ahab holding Jenifer's dead body out of grief...probably not.

[Marcus XVI]

You have to remember that all those crazy stunts he pulled off back in the day were done in his prime and not alone. Though nowadays Max still acts though he isn't nearly as formixable on the field as he used to be. His age is catching up to him - which is something I'm going to remind bim in my next post.

[Letter Bee]

@Marcus XVI, Just make sure he isn't alone; Madly33 told me in private that this RP is an AU where the Major Fallout Protagonists weren't supposed to exist; that's what he meant by his mention in the OOC OP that this was an AU, and he also mentioned this in the Original Int. Check.

I managed to get Madly33 to be more lenient, saying that 'more than some' of the major canon events happened, it's just that those were done by multiple people instead of just one person, like in this RP. The reason behind that is because, well, Madly33 assumed that if all the Fallout Protagonists existed as individual super-people, then the PCs in the RP matter less in comparison.

But if you have issues with this rule - it also doesn't help that the exact text of the OOC's OP was unclear - well, we can talk about it on the link I gave you in PM; I'm awake from my nap now.

[Hjalti]

@Hjalti

1.) Yes, although some of the 'Bad Karma' sidequests were done by other people.
2.) Yes, although some of the 'Bad Karma' sidequests were done by other people.
3.) Dude, I heard bad things about that game; I don't think it's Canon at all.
4.) The only thing true is that there is a relatively inclusive Midwestern Brotherhood.
5.) The guy whose father was shot may or may not be the same person who helped the BoS take the Purifier. What is certain was that he was not the same guy who helped Ashur in the Pitt; that really was another character. Another person was also helping Paradise Falls enslave to and fro, and yet another did the Synth sidequest.
6.) The NCR-Brotherhood War still happened, there was no Prisoner (the planned PC).
7.) There was a courier, but not The Courier. Basically, the NCR won at New Vegas because of several 'PCs', such as a Scavenger, an NCR Ranger, and a Tribal, who all tackled their share of sidequests, and parts of the main quest. However, several Legion quests did happen, simultaneously with the NCR-centric ones.
8.) New Vegas DLC: Ulysses got confronted by an entire party and talked down, perhaps because he was outnumbered. As for the other DLCs, didn't care to find out about them even when I did get the game.

[Marcus XVI]

I will again point out that even if the Chosen One did pull off crazy stunts be it alone or with all the possible companions and all that it happened well over 40 years ago. I'm just playing Max with the assumpion he did most if the good things possible and none - or very few of the negative karma options.

Again I remind that the whole thing happened so long ago that Max might well be the last survivor from that part of the story - not counting Marcus and maybe Goris.

Now if you folks have a problem with my character I'm all ears.

[Letter Bee]

@Marcus XVI, Sorry for the delay, and, nothing more; he's cool.

[Lord Coake]

@Eviledd1984 David's a ghoul....

[Letter Bee]

@Lord Coake, Eviledd's dyslexic.

Also, only the PCs and a few NPCs were removed from Liberty City; no Mothers and Children.

[Eviledd1984]

@Letter Bee Edited.

[Letter Bee]

@Eviledd1984, Thanks.

[Trevor1001]

I'll wait and see if anyone else posts. If not I'll post when I get up.
