Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio
Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.
Hey everyone! I will be the Co-GM to this (hopefully) glorious roleplay. I will be posting my character in the Character Tab momentarily.
I have set up a google sheets spreadsheet for us in order to keep track of our characters locations as well as current inventories. It can be edited by anyone and I'll keep a link for it inside my signature from now on. It should help keep things clear when writing out your IC posts. :)
I've got a party nearly finished. They sit somewhere between the radicals and the more centrist parties. I just need a logo. Does Civitas have a national animal or something patriotic to that effect?
It's national animal is the Badger.
Once the election begins I will send each party a list of party membership, some national statistics and a number of posts they are allowed to out before the debates. In effect each post is your chance to write something that will make you seem amazing. Describe a party fund raiser, a march with your supporters or simply a dinner with an 'average' family. Its up to you.
Personality: I prefer not to restrict myself here so I will be brief. Jack is hard working and pragmatic. He has no time for useless things and is willing to teach so long as someone is willing to learn. He can be cold and harsh when working but then friendly and smooth when relaxing. For him personal and professional are two separate worlds and he keeps them that way.
Bio: Jack was 16 when the former overseer opened the vault. Before that Jack had been your average guy. The GOAT put him into sercurity and he spent the few days of calmness afterwords learning the basics of policing a vault. However when the bandits came Jack was forced to learn about fighting the old fashioned way. Either live, or die. During the fighting he learnt how to shoot, maintain a gun and kill with both firearm and knife. Some would say Jack saw too much violence for someone in his late teens but at the time, Jack was all they had to use. He ended up with an assualt rifle, which he kept notches in fir each of his kills. By the time the vault was finally shut Jack had over thirty notches and an almost racist view on the outside world. In his mind he had helped save the vault from the outside world.
After that Jack spent a number of years helping to rebuild. Eventually though the vault struggled for numbers and Jack ended hiding his assault rifle and its ammo in his room, since all of the outside contraband should have been a accounted for, and forced to pick up a wrench for the vault. In this spare time he started the Vault Fighting Ring and has made most of his money fighting there, rather than the pitiful allowance from vault work.
Skills/Traits: Calm Under Fire: Jack grew up essentially under fire. He knows hpw to stay calm and collected even when death could by just around the corner.
Marksmen: Jack was damned good at killing, he became adept at shooting and is quite an acomplished gunman. He rarely misses.
Apprentice Gunsmith: Jack has had too maintain, strip and clean his own rifle. This means that he can do that for others and knows the basics of how a gun works. He is by no means an engineer though.
Charismatic: Jack is vocally anti-open vault and has been known to speak to collegues about the dangers. Reminding those of what happened last time it happened.
Untrusting: Jack doesnt trust easily, especially those from outside of the vault, and this comes from the violence of his life.
Mild PTSD: Jack feels at home when he is fighting. The adrenaline, the suspense. Violence makes him feel alive, the reason behind the fighting, and this means he struggles to relax and despises the calmness of the current vault situation.
Inventory: Assault Rifle: Jacks personal firearm which he liberated from a bandit. It has a number of notches in the top of the wooden foregrip. As well as 3 magazines of ammunition.
Standard Issue Vault Sercurity Jumpsuot: Standard black jumpsuit with 'Sercurity' emblazoned on the back and extra armour sewn into the chest and joints. He was not asked to gove his jumpsuit back despite reassignment.
Standard Issue Pip-Boy 3000: not much too say here...
Combat Knife: Another liberated gift from bandits that Jack keeps on his person. He has never drawn it on a vault member and never intends too, he does use it as a tool but does not want to use it on anyone he holds dear.
Party Name: United Territories of Civitas Socialist Party
Party Acronym: UTCSP
Party Motto: "What people need."
Party Logo:
Party Ideology: The UTCSP follows a largely Socialist ideology, dedicating itself to improving the standards of living for all citizens of the UTC, lower the unemployment and homeless figures and install proper government oversight and safeguards into the corporate world in order to stabilize and safeguard the national economy.
-Government Involvement:The UTCSP has long made its displeasure about the short sighted budget cuts the prior government made to programs dedicated to helping the people of the UTC known. One of its primary goals will be the reestablishment of these programs where possible while considering how they could best be restructured to help those citizens in need.
-Economy: The UTCSP acknowledges that the economy is a complete mess and needs to be sorted out, but this is not the kind of thing that can be fixed if you charge into the situation blind; The former government did that and look at where we are now. While the UTCSP have to date not committed themselves to a plan to fix the economy, they are gathering what information they can and are discussing several possible plans of action. First and foremost will be the establishment of proper corporate oversight and enforceable business safeguards in order to get a better idea of where to start sorting out the economic mess.
-Taxes: The first course of action will be the reestablishment of the Millionaire and Mansion taxes, as well as the removal of several tax cuts awarded to the upper classes. Once the wealthy start to pay their fair share, the tax burden on the middle and working classes will quickly find itself lessened.
-Military:A plan is currently being considered in order to strengthen the Military, but the party is being quiet on the details for the time being until they can discuss it properly with military experts.
-Environment:The loopholes that greedy capitalists have been exploiting to do as they pleased must been ironed out as soon as possible. Their continued existence is clearly a sign of how short sighted and corrupt the former government was.
-Citizen Rights: There have been discussions on lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 on the grounds that the younger generation should have a say in how their country is run, but the party clearly has bigger, more pressing issues that need to be dealt with first.
-Education:The UTCSP consider education to be quite important and will take the time to review the current standards of the nations education system before making any plans in that direction. While the main goal of the party in this direction will be improve the system to the benefit of the children that are going through the system, they have shown a willingness to talk with the teachers unions on the matter as well.
-Health-Care: People are more important then profit. While they have not dedicated themselves to a single plan, the UTCSP has made their intentions to improve the status of the health care system by whatever ethical means well known.
-Emergency Services: While the budget of the Fire Department was quite clearly oversized by the former government, the Department has put its funding to good use. As such, the UTCSP will attempt to tailor future budgets so that the Fire Department can maintain its high standards. The Police Department, while well funded for its size, is clearly understaffed and in need of reorganization.
-Immigration: While other parties might be focused on how best to keep those seeking a better, safer life out of the country, the UTCSP is more invested in helping those already within the country illegally become a proper citizen and develop the skills needed to improve the UTC. Everyone who is in the UTC should have the right not to be exploited or having to live in fear.
-Other: The UTCSP is a relatively new party, being founded three elections back with the goal of improving the standard of living for all citizens of the UTC, but mainly those of the working and middle classes. They have long been a loud voice announcing the hypocrisy of previous governments cutting benefits and help programs to people in need to save money while at the same time giving the rich and wealthy tax cuts and outright removing taxes from them while raising taxes for everyone else.

Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.
