"Aye," another small man answered, having just come out onto the street alongside the Halfling.

"There will surely be much time for building, sooner or later, and if there isn't we'll probably be dead and it will be someone else's problem."

The Halfling said this without any trace of melancholy, it was a simple truth. There either would or would not be time to build. One did not build a city expecting all things to fall apart. You need optimism, persistent optimism, even in the face of a swift violent death. Particularly now.

Thiago patted himself down absent mindedly as he made to catch up with the other Halfling, ensuring that while he quickened his step he didn't lose one of his tools. That would be the very last thing he needed. There would be no New Sauerabfel without his tools.

"I am called Thiago," he said to the other, placing his hand lightly on his shoulder, "A builder from Sauerabfel, in better times. Today another hopeful traveler. Perhaps when things are more stable we make you a bakery yes? Fresh warm biscuits can quickly make a house a home."

What kind of RP mood are you in?

@Andreyich

Hit me up if you want to actually launch one sometime.

I played the hell out of the old West Coast ones and Tactics.

California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and then a little bit in Florida.

Had an RP I ran twice set in Florida, before F3 came out, about the Eastern BoS invading a semi-built up Florida in their search to gather up technology and hunt down a certain bit of rumored tech.

We could probably come up with something.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

Any particular sort of Fallout shit?

I used to do a ton of Fallout RPs

Thiago Proudfoot of The Sauerabfel Hills

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Race: Halfling



Background: Thiago comes from a long line of builders. His family built into the hills of Sauerabfel for decades and learned precisely how to develop things to be safe, solid, and homey. Placing trees in a natural way and at the proper distances that their roots would grow strong to support themselves, the hills, and the earthen homes of his people. Managing water that they might easily water their crops, swim in lakes, and nap beside rivers. Dotting bushes and flowers about to draw in visitors. Lovely.

That would have been his life as well were it not for the fall. Sauerabfel relied on trade and tourism and had never had any issue drawing either. It had been bustling in time of plenty but when the wars came and kingdoms fell it quickly followed. Some families left for the protection of a larger city. Others sold off their goods and fled to try to support family elsewhere. It was as a rock rolling down a hill gathering speed as it goes. Fewer and fewer halflings, fewer travelers, and soon the roads grew too dangerous for even larger traders.

Thiago was one of the last to leave that might actually have a shot at establishing himself elsewhere. If there were anywhere left to establish. He left behind an all but deserted Sauerabfel Hills, populated only by those too old to leave and a few small families hoping to hide out in the smaller more hidden burrows.

He wants to build again. To participate in establishing a new home for himself and perhaps eventually resettle the remaining halflings of Sauerabfel or maybe at some far flung date even return to the hills with a team and bring it back to life.

Inventory:

Armor and Clothing

A Green Patchwork Cloak, useful for breaking up his shape as he travels. Unseen is unbothered.
A Brown Vest, helps keep warm during cold nights and has plentiful pockets
A Leather Utility Belt
A Beige Doublet
Brown Breeches tied off at the ankles

Weapons

Thiago carries two hammers, a knife, and a sling with stones on his belt. These can be used as weapons but he tries to avoid doing so. He is no warrior, preferring to talk his way out of things or sneak away.

Miscellaneous

Thiago carries a few builder's tools and food enough to get him through a few days. He scavenges for the rest as best he can and carries around a bit of old dried wolf hide in case things get really desperate.

Goals: Thiago wants to ensure that future generations of his people have a safe place to gather and that their culture is not lost. He believes he would make a fine leader and harbors aspirations to one day return to the Sauerabfel Hills to rebuild it and become mayor of it. He can almost see himself walking through the hills, waving to visitors from lands near and far, garbed in some sort of stately robe. Holding fine feasts, carousing with representatives from lands near and far. It seems so impossibly far off the way the world is now, but he's a halfling and so if there is one thing he has it is hope.
