@Tuxedo FoxThat works rather well for what I had planned actually, if the GM is fine with it, that's probably what I'll go with.


Of course! Sounds like a pretty diverse cast, which should be nice.

Wow. Just skimmed the opening post...nice. Real nice. Is this RP still open? And where do I post my character sheet if it is?


Ey-yup. The roleplay is still open - I haven't posted the OOC yet, but once the map is complete, I'll be making the thread. For now, you can post your character sheets here

Hey @Ordure I was wondering if you'd givein any thought to there being a local radio station? Not that it is really important or anything, just was wondering because...well...you know, Fallout+RadioStation=Fun Times.

A local radio station for each district is my idea - probably with music reflecting the culture. The richer district radio would play classical music, because of the whole "upper-class" thing. The poorer district would play classic jazz and blues, reminiscent of Old Orleans.

Could I play an Enclave operative? I don't aim to use the Enclave as anything other than backstory and occasional mentions. I would like to have my character sent on a mission to gather intel about Orleans, for example.

And there! I think I finished it. Hopefully. I might add and remove stuff as the roleplay goes along and players interact with the world. The roads in the map are in accurate and wonky, but I'd say that's just because the Orleans Order has been paving those roads between districts and the original roads were covered up by the nuclear apocalypse.

OOC will be coming very soon now.

Also, bonus King Louis Savreaux.

I'm planning on possibly using that faction later in the RP, actually - so I'd like if your character was very subtle about it - no mentions of it to NPCs and it's downplayed a little - maybe a small group of Enclave stragglers from the East that have survived instead of a full on militarized group.

I was thinking of only using it as a starting point-the character would be shipwrecked on the little island you showed on the map and originally sent by one of the Enclave's departments, the External Security Bureau, to gather intel. Once he was shipwrecked he would have no backup, no contact, and would have no reason to advertise his allegiance.

Once you chose to bring the full Enclave into play, he would obey your orders.

Would that be okay?

Hmm.. if your Enclave is the Enclave I'm thinking of, they probably won't like the kind of one I plan to bring in later, so no need to follow orders. Your character should be good.

Also, I don't recommend ship wrecking on that particular island off the coast. Maybe somewhere on the coast of the main body of land, because that island doesn't have a good reputation of returning people who've crashed there.

Sounds good. I've just about finished the character sheet. The bio is deliberately vague about the Enclave so that once you bring them into play it could be easier for me to adapt and decide how to proceed.

How about ship wrecking on that little peninsula in the middle of the coastline? Would that be suitable? And would their be any friendly natives nearby? Because I intend for my character to be in need of medical attention ASAP.

That little peninsula is where I plan to put a little Orleans Order trading outpost filled with a variety of ships and people, so that'd be great! There'd be multiple people there with medical skill.

And, a bonus note, I'm thinking about adding a Perks section to the character sheet, to make characters a little more unique than flat stats; so @BilboTheGreat and @Tuxedo Fox can both add up to three perks to their characters spanning all games.

Damn @Ordure, Talk about a badass map-lol blows anything I've ever made out of the water.

Anyways, I'm stoked for the ooc man. Ill go ahead and look up three perks and add them to Nobdy's sheet.

P.S.
-I have to say it, King Louis reminds me of some ancient looking relative of Archer.

@Ordure Oh hey, I also meant to ask you: do perks need to correspond to our SPECIAL? Like, do we have to meet the requirements ect? Or is it more of a generalization? For instance would something like "Shotgun Surgeon" be appropriate for a character who simply has vast experience with shotguns?

It's a mostly reliant on past experience; a man with low charisma doesn't seem like he'd have something like Child at Heart, but if something in his past allowed him to show extraordinary compassion toward children, then I'll fully allow it.

NAME- Tom Carson

AGE- 38

GENDER-Male

APPEARANCE:



Carson wears a suit of battered Enclave combat armour with the insignia removed under a worn grey greatcoat. He also wears a Soviet Army officer's cap. Fond of cigars.

He is equipped with an AK-47 assault rifle and a Walther PPK handgun.

PERSONALITY: Carson is a  man who speaks little but sees much. He rarely loses his cool, having learned long ago that emotional displays can cost you your life. He is well-read, especially in pre-War politics and history gleaned from the Enclave's records. An experienced commander who has led troops in battle, he is adept at battlefield tactics and strategy. 

His main, glaring weakness is his residual prejudice towards Ghouls and Super Mutants that often loses him allies and opportunities he could otherwise have enjoyed. The nature of his missions out and about in the Wasteland have somewhat eased these, but old habits die hard. 

FACTION: Enclave

BIOGRAPHY

Tom Carson is an agent for the shadowy organization claiming to be the inheritors the the Pre-War US Government. The Enclave's last major defeat at Adams Air Force Base had sent them into hiding, and have since been quiet. Many doubted that a faction that had survived the Great War had entirely disappeared after a couple of conventional military defeats. 

Carson was born in 2271, into a family of Enclave soldiers in Raven Rock, north of Washington DC. Although only young when his people suffered the devastating defeats at Raven Rock, Project Purity, and Adams Air Force Base, Carson remembers them well decades later. The journey away from the victorious Brotherhood of Steel cost them many lives, and they endured much hardship. 

Details are sketchy after that. He served in many places, defending the Enclave's interests from San Diego to Seattle and anywhere else in between, rising to the rank of Major.

In 2301 Carson was assigned to the mysterious External Security Bureau, who put his skills to good use. Taking on a cover as a rootless mercenary Major Carson has acted as the eyes and ears on the ground, far away from any support or backup from the Enclave. 

In 2309 Carson was given a new mission, codenamed Operation Methuselah. It seemed simple. Take a  team of operatives and civilian boat to the coastline of Orleans and gather as much intel as possible on the political, military, and social structures therein. To what end? Major Carson didn't know. He never knew. But he would do his duty nonetheless.

So now Carson finds himself ambushed by raiders off the coast of Orleans. Under fire and in a damaged boat, it looks like his mission is over before it began...

Strength-6
Perception-7
Endurance-5
Charisma-5
Intelligence-6
Agility-5
Luck-6

Perks

-Commando
-Outdoorsman
-Negotiator 

I'll edit in an image ASAP.

@Ulstermann

I like it! A dash scarce, but I suppose when I'm giving limited details on the current state of the Enclave, that's to be expected.

Since Tom Carson hates non-humans and Orleans is rich with diversity, his arc should be interesting.

Accepted.

Yeah, Ill have to write carefully to keep his intentions guarded. Don't expect visceral hatred towards non-humans, though; years of working amongst them means he can tolerate them if necessary.
