I'm not super familiar with the game Fallout. Would it still be possible for me to play in this RP? I've been reading about it a little bit, but some parts a little confusing.
The essential information is that we're writing in a future of an alternate history, where basically atomics became more prevalent, up until the year 2077, even to the point that cars were powered by atomic engines.
In October 2077, the Sino-American war between the United States and China and their allies literally "blew up," as both sides began launching nuclear strikes against one another, causing grand annihilation on a global scale. Most of the world was decimated, while others survived in numerous ways, especially those in secure locations callled "vaults."
Fast forward around two-hundred years, and vault dwellers have made their way out, and the survivors of the nuclear apocalypse have begun to eke out an existence in the new, desolate world. Some groups have gathered into their own governments, some are just looking to survive on their own.
But at the end of the day, violence is a way of life, because War... War never changes.
Lol.
As a quick "up-to-speed" video on the history of Fallout, here's a pretty good one:
