[OOC] Fallout: The New World

[Hillan]

Fallout: The New World

War..
War Never Changes.

We have all heard the stories of how the world used to be. Fruitful, full of life. People were happy, smiling. You were safe in your home, not having to worry about being attacked. You had clean water to last you your entire life, never once did you worry that maybe today would be the day someone sliced your throat. The life of the people was peaceful, we had atomic cars and robot butlers. But then the bombs fell, and the world we once knew existed no more.

The bombs hit North America the hardest, the few were sealed away in radiation and blast proof vaults, walls of steel concrete and soil protected them and their families. But for the people on the outside who were hit in the blast were not so fortunate. The lucky ones died insantly from the blast, the not so lucky, died in the following days from the nuclear fallout, a slow painful death by radiation.

It's been two hundred and fifty years since the bombs fell, and since then, North America has started to rebuild. Remnants of civilization have reformed, and the continent has had many conflicts over the centuries since The Great War. From coast to coast it has been 360 degrees battle, enemies on every front and every day a battle of survival.

And yet, this is not where our story takes place.

Our story takes place on the other side of the pacific ocean, in what used to Japan, where a new Feudal Empire is rising, remnants of the communist China still stands strong, and forces from the Americas are searching for a new place to inhabit in the fairly non-radiated coast of Japan's mainland.

Setting

The World:

2077, the world ended, death by fire. Nuclear fire. The world killed itself, and most of mankind perished. But, man is a creature of perseverance, as such she has fought hand and claw to survive against the new form of nature. Mutated creatures roams what used to be the world, everyday is a fight.

Now, it's 230 years later, the year is 2304, Europe is still in ruins, just like it was the night after the bombs had fallen, but America has several factions that aim at rebuilding the world, and so it would seem Asia does. This story takes place in the mainland of Japan, around the area of the city of Yokohama, where a power struggle is about to erupt.

Japan:

Japan learned it's lesson when it came to nuclear power following the second world war, being one of the few voices of reason the Japanese government and people both pleaded with the rest of the world to stop the nuclear arms race. Having mostly decommissioned their own army they were quick to get annexed by China once the resources started running low in the world, while also being the first to be invaded by America when America launched their counter-assault on China, following Anchorage. Due to this, you will find a lot of Chinese and American influences and memento's in the wasteland.

Yokohama City:

Formerly the second biggest city in the country, Yokohama used to be a prosperous metropolitan area, with a blossoming business district, many malls and stores, countless shops and restaurants and just as many nightclubs. Due to the pacifist nature of Japan following the war, Yokohama, like the rest of Japan was never targeted by the nuclear strikes of the Great War, thus a lot of it's people survived for a time before radiated monsters, raiders and crazed survivors took over the country.

Now, Yokohama is like any other wasteland, desolated and reeking of death. Everywhere you will find radroaches, raiders and mutated creatures. The factions struggling for control of Yokohama and Tokyo.

The Major Factions

The Nobunaga Order; The Feudal Kingdom

A order started in the late 22nd Century created in the center of the Japanese mainland, started in a old military base used much like the vaults in America. Inside the base they could find fairly untouched scrolls and weapons from a pre-war time, telling a tale of a time when Japan was a strong country with brave warriors, bound by honor and courage. The Samurai.

The Shogun, leader of the Nobunaga Order is a man named Kenshin Ryoshima, a aging man who has lead the order since the passing of his father, whom followed in the footsteps of his father before him, Oda Ryoshima, the founder of the Nobunaga Order.

The order started out small, staying only in the Nobunaga Base where they were created for several years, only venturing out into the wasteland to find resources, but eventually, scouts mentioned finding another base, one used by the Americans stationed in Japan before the war, a search party was sent on the Shogun's behest, speaking of metal husks that could turn any man into a metal-machine. The Remnants of T-45d Power Armor.

Armed with modified power armor, given to the very best swordsmen in the order, the Nobunaga Order has been battling for the past two decades to cleanse Tokyo to make it their new capital, having several outposts by the coast in Yokohama. As such, the Shogun is seated in Tokyo.

The New Communist Party Of China; The N.C.P.C.

Believing in using the formerly Annexed Japan as their area to gather a army strong enough to take back the mainland China, the NCPC is lead solely by prewar Ghouls, generals and officers from the old Chinease army who had survived the nuclear blast. Their ranks are compromised largely by ghouls, but also by other sympathizers of the communist belief. They were unoffically formed as soon as the radiation had settled and those that weren't dead from the blasts had been turned into foul beings.

Their struggle came from their brethren turning feral, but former scientist now turned into ghouls, the same that had created the stealth technology that had given China an edge in the war were quick to work on medicine that would slow the rate of which the brain of a ghoul will rot away. They are based in Southern Japan, where they have been gathering resources and recruits for their order.

The chairman of the NCPC is a ruthless general known as Wei Lou Xin, a commander at the battle of Anchorage who still can clearly remember the days of Chinese Strength. They utilize mostly prewar weaponry, assault rifles, handguns and mounted machine guns. It is even rumored that they are in possession of tanks, yet it can not be confirmed.

The Yokohama Settlers:

The 'Natives' of Yokohama city Descendents of the first settlers on the land after the radiation had settled. They are mostly peaceful, but they do sport a medium sized militia of roughly hundred soldiers, using scavenged weapons and armor. They are under the command of Major Junn, a deserter of the Nobunaga Order, who has taught the settlers a thing or two about martial skills, and in his honor the militia has taken to calling themselves the Junns.

The NCR

The New Californian Republic are well known in America, they're a military power able to fight the Brotherhood of Steel, Ceasar's Legion and Raider gangs all at the same time without loosing ground, truly the closest thing to the pre-war Military power the world has ever seen. However, due to the multiple fronts of their battle in America, the NCR are spread thin and are running out a resources – most notably they are running out of ways to keep civilians safe.

A recon team of 100 soldiers at 150 settlers to grow crops and build a settlement have been deployed, these soldiers range in skill from privates to hardened soldiers, from carpenters to electricains, farmers, physicians, artists, anyone who could pay the fee to go was allowed.

They are lead by a five man council of Veteran Rangers who are not afraid to use their Big Iron to put down anyone who would go against the wishes of the NCR. However, due to the distance between Japan and America, they are limited in resources and unable to. The Five are sure to spread the will of the Republic to the Japanese Mainland.

The Plot:

The plot behind this story is to survive, and explore a brand new wasteland. To interact with the factions, and the other players. While the I would like to do this completely sandbox-esque, I realize this is not possible, and thus will create plotlines as the game progresses, sadly forcing the players into groups, or a singular group. What plots there will be depends on the players, what characters you play and how you play them. If everyone decides to play as Communist, I will create a plot focused around this.

Plot points will be added into this section when they appear in the IC.

Character Creation

You are free to create any kind of character you want, human, synth, mutant, ghoul, intelligent Deathclaw, whatever you want, as long as you can sell the character to me, as long as you can make me believe the character is plausible within the Fallout universe. And there are a lot of unbelievable things in this universe.

Rules

1. All Guild Rules apply. No smut, no on-screen sex, keep it PG. Cussing and mild-gore is A-OK, it is fallout after all.
2. No arguing in the OOC. Your characters can have all the spats they want, I encourage that. Friendly trash talk in the OOC regarding the IC is fine. (My dad can beat up your dad's Deathclaw.)
3. GM Word is what goes. If you want to argue against one of the decisions, send the GM a PM, OOC complaints will be ignored.
4. The information provided on the OOC / IC / CS - OP is subject to alterations at any time, so make sure to check back often.
5. Have fun.
Seriously, I'll feed you to the ghouls if you're bored.

@Hillan

Hey Hillan, can I just check with you if the Nobunaga Order uses any form of firearms, or simply feudal weaponry such as swords and bow and arrows? Would no doubt be challenging to fight against though who use firearms and armour using such weapons.

[Hillan]

They do use firearms, indeed, but they do stray away from laser weaponry.
@Garden Gnome

[Kidd]

I'm gonna be posting a character, but I'm still working on figuring out exactly what I wanna do. Should have something ready by tomorrow if not tonight.

[Catchphrase]

Can I make an Australian character?

[Hillan]

Can I make an Australian character?

@Catchphrase

You come up with a reason for them to be present, go for it.

[Catchphrase]

@Hillan oh I'll think of something, thanks for the ok

[Kidd]

Alright, I hope she's okay. If anything about her clashes with what the Junns should be, let me know, and I can fix it up. I was also struggling a little bit with weaknesses, so anyone is free to throw suggestions at me:

---

---

Yukiko Iwaizumi | 22 | Human

ABILITIES & SKILLS

• Armed and unarmed melee: as a member of Major Junn's militia in Yokohama, Yukiko was trained in basic combat. While she is relatively young and still learning, she gets better everyday.
• Scavenging/Scouting: her primary role in the Junns right now.

EQUIPMENT

• Naginata, usually in her hand.
• Her outfit is mostly dark in color: black boots, black leather vest over a white tank top. Occasionally, she wears a dark green coat over that. Most notable, though, is the bandages on her palms and fingers and bamboo arm and shin guards.
• Binoculars: a small pair in her coat pocket or dangling around her neck.
• A plain green bag: emptied before she ventures out so she can easily carry anything she scavenges for the Junns

LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES

• Novice: she's relatively new to the militia and she's prone to making rookie mistakes. Due to this, she is eager to please and can occasionally bite off more than she can chew trying to prove herself.
• While the average size for a Japanese woman, she is relatively small compared to men and women of America's forces. This puts her at a strength disadvantage should she ever engage in combat.
• Dependent: she needs her community and--while she tends to do solo missions--she doesn't work alone very well, tending to second guess herself in high tensity situations.

SAMPLE POST

Yukiko leaned heavily on her polearm, breathing heavily as she recovered from the battle she had just barely survived. Slowly, she stood to her full height of 5'2". She swallowed as she eyed the three bodies around her: two men and a woman, clearly untrained in combat but desperate for the supplies in her green bag. Luckily for her, they hadn't been armed with anything more than swords and she was able to fend them off; however, she wasn't proud of the fact she had to take their lives. Soberly, she crouched by each one, closing their eyes and muttering in her native tongue, "I hope you find happiness in the next world."

After a moment of silence, Yukiko proceeded to search the bodies. If she didn't take the loot, she knew someone would come along and take it themselves. Besides the short swords, she found nothing of interest; and so, she slipped what she had in her bag before standing again. After a final, solemn look, she reshouldered her bag and turned to continue home.

NOTES

Yukiko joined the Junns after losing her parents as a way to fend for herself; she has since grown fond of her fellow soldiers and works hard to contribute as much as she can to Yokohama.

[Garden Gnome]

I'll see if I can get a character up.

[Hillan]

Yukiko Iwaizumi | 22 | Human

@Kidd

Mind a few nitpicking things I could point out, such as the choice of weapon isn't exactly something a 'amateur' would use. But it's the wasteland. Anything that's sharp or blunt will do, I suppose. Though, I reckon within the IC you should mention she uses a cruder version, maybe some form of sharpened farmer's tool that has a similar design?

Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Yukiko is accepted.

[Kidd]

@Hillan Nitpicking is totally fair! I want her to be good for the RP.

I'll find a better reference for the weapon and add her. I can definitely go with something completely different if you'd prefer. I just figured any weapon could be difficult to start with and I wanted something traditional with range. She'll learn eventually, lol, even if it's not over the course of this RP

[Jangel13]

Question, what about power armor? I loved making my own power suit from scratch

[Catchphrase]

I've lost interest

[Chronothesis]

| NAME: |

Aaron Ashworth

| EPITHET: |

| RACE: |

Synth

| AGE: |

16

| ABILITIES & SKILLS |

• Aaron use's a weapon that seems to have not been used for over two hundred years, the bow. His skill in archery is most adept, even though ammo for this weapon is scarce, Aaron can simply make his own arrows. Aaron's travels have proved that most forests were left untouched (he didn't know that he was exploring dead forests for 22 miles), excluding the effects of atom bombs. Somehow he still finds it baffling that a bow and crossbow are rarely used as it is extremely easy to make.
• Repairing contributes mostly to his bow, not wearing much armor, he finds it extremely awkward to wear those leather pads and he finds it slightly offensive when old-wear, much like baseball padding is used as armor. Aaron also adds things to what he has repaired, covering a hole with some sort of new material, anything like that he usually does when he finds the right source of material and time.
• For survival reasons, Aaron has learned how to...make the most out of his food and beverages. He has a line between eating things like a mole rat, to a bloatfly. Both are disgusting, but...survival? He hate's eating in the Wasteland but he has forgotten that he doesn't have to eat because he is a synth.

| EQUIPMENT |

Aaron is equipped with a quiver and satchel. Within the satchel is purified water, elastic bandages, and various books that help him survive the wasteland. There are multiple maps he had created when he traveled, one of them was Las Vegas, though walking and adventuring so far he deems that map useless for now. The quiver hold's two different types of arrows, flammable and normal. The quiver only holds six arrows at a time, unlike traditional quiver's, Aaron has made a quiver that goes around his hips and when running or walking the arrows won't inevitably fall out as the arrows are strapped in against the quiver itself. There is also a bottle of oil that he use's to dip the arrowheads into to make flammable and! a lighter.

| WEAKNESSES AND LIMITATIONS |

Though, knowing how to fight he does not use his profession in archery as much. He cannot kill willingly without knowing if this person is truly deserving of death, basically a pacifist in the wasteland. Aaron cannot experience the emotion of aggression, without aggression he cannot derive the will to fight though he does have the ability to kill wasteland creatures but not the peaceful one's (the mutated deer). Learning from experience, Aaron know's that the world he currently live's in is extremely dangerous. He is always in the constant feeling of fear and cannot leave it without having the true sense of safety, thus he is bound to become timid around others and is less cooperative.

| SAMPLE POST |

Aaron leaned against the dead tree, snow falling lightly. The winds were blowing with a light tune and no one seemed to be in sight at the current moment. His fire crackled, the heat radiating from the flames. Aaron stared at the snow, each small speck falling to the ground. Aaron could feel the bitter cold against his legs as he sat, no blanket, no jacket, but the fire to keep him warm. Aaron was in a tough time and could not handle it for long-- his things were stolen and he planned to get them back, he didn't know how.
He felt guilty for letting his things go away just like that. All his hard work was gone but he shouldn't have left it so openly, even in the wild. There was this sudden urge to cry but Aaron was too stubborn and confident to let himself down. He'd have to restart, try again from point one, even if it means to steal.
His eye's began to flicker, flickering away much like the fire beside him. The whisper's in his head confused him but he couldn't put much thought into the current situation, his mind was slipping away. His mind taking a rest from the reality outside. " Shhh... "
The last thing he could remember was the crackle's of the fire and the tune of the wind. They both played so softly together, though in reality... the cold got to him. His eye's fluttered almost every second whenever he was conscious, his mind was dozing off into that sleeping abyss he was so casually familiar with.

| NOTES: |

Aaron is the replica of one of his creator's son, for experimental purpose's the creator decided to give Aaron a free-thinking mind to study how synth's gain the ability of learning. Of course, learning out of the bounds of what they are actually enlisted to or what they are set to.

Curved Bow

The 'flammable' arrows are just covered in oil.

@Hillan

I've got a question. Does the warriors of the Nobunaga Order wear samurai armour or anything like that? I mean they are modelling themselves after the ancient samurai, aren't they?

[Hillan]

@Hillan

I've got a question. Does the warriors of the Nobunaga Order wear samurai armour or anything like that? I mean they are modelling themselves after the ancient samurai, aren't they?

@Garden Gnome

Indeed they do, they use metal armor modeled to look like that of Samurai's. It's a fair bit deformed and not really an exact match, as their ideas of what a samurai is really isn't more well informed than the Ice-Hockey fans in the Capital Wasteland.

And the elite warriors dons modified versions of T-45d Power Armor.

| NAME: |

Angelo Ortega

| EPITHET: |
| RACE: |

Human

| AGE: |

22

| ABILITIES & SKILLS |

Angelo has a talent in terms of charisma, he is able to convince people to go his way and follow behind him. He knows just what to say to get people to trust him and believe in what he is saying to be the truth. The other Talent that he has is stealth if he cant win people over with words then he will simply steal what he needs from them without their notice.

| EQUIPMENT |

Angelo carries with him a bandoleer with shotgun shells on it for quick reloads for his own combat shotgun that he carries in a holster on his left leg. If close combat isn't an option then Angelo also has ammo pack with ammunition for his long barrel hunting rifle that he carries on his back thanks to a strap on the bandoleer. He also carried a messenger bag for anything else he may want or need in the future.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

The reason Angelo needed to convince people so much is because Angelo has Coagulopathy a bleeding disorder so he has a weakness to actually getting injured if he doesn't stop the bleeding fast he could bleed out in moments if the wound hit a vital organ so he has less then tolerable endurance.

| SAMPLE POST: |

Angelo sighed as he was looking through the desk of an abandoned gas station. Angelo thought that it being a gas station that it would have at least a few caps or something interesting even some ammo would be appreciated. Unfortunately he found nothing that would help him just another empty building from the old days. Angelo then packed up his things and got moving he couldn't let this bad spot tarnish his treasure hunting. Once Angelo was out of the building however he heard the familiar sound of burrowing and he sighed loudly "why did it have to be mole rats" Angelo said angrily as he loaded his shotgun and started to move away but not before he saw the first one pop out of the ground near him and he quickly shot it in the face, that was one of the advantages of having a combat shotgun. Then he saw the next one coming towards him and because he was at a distance Angelo had to aim down the sights to take it down one shot injured it then the second killed it. Then their was one more but It popped up way to close and bit Angelo in his leg and he groaned loudly as he shot it in the face. When Angelo was satisfied that he finished them off he quickly pulled up his pants and saw that he was bleeding. Angelo quickly got into his messenger bag and grabbed some gauze wrapping it tightly around the wound to stop the bleeding. After a few minutes he sighed but he had to change it again because he bled through the first wrap. Once Angelo was satisfied with the second wrapping he went on his way looking for better things to find in this place....

| NOTES: |

Hates when men disrespect women

[Chronothesis]

Buuuuuump.

[Jangel13]

yeah im not sure if im approved yet

[Hillan]

| NAME: |

Angelo Ortega

@Jangel13

Accepted.

@Chronothesis The synth would have matching weaknesses to the human it was modeled after. They are created to replicate and replace humans after all, he would have needed a 'base'. DNA to be created after. Besides, you said that he wasn't programmed to know how to fight, or to be aggressive, that's a weakness / limitation. Any weakness a human could have a synth would, too.
