@RomanAria Yeah saw that when I was re-reading everything. So if that's the limit is there also a limit on the number of named characters that I've simply missed somewhere?

Salutations and Felicitations!
As my title alludes to I'm a student. I'm currently studying for my BA in History and Ancient History. I love diving into lore be it that of the past, or whether it be the brilliant product of the human imagination.
But just as fun I find is picking lore apart and making something new with it, and that's what draws me to good role-plays. Those little references shaped into new forms are really what helps to keep me hooked, just as much as good writing.

@ClocktowerEchos If it's still possible I'd be interested in taking part you idiot.
I've a few questions though, you mention this linking to other RP's in the past, specifically with the races. I myself haven't participated in such RP's so can I create my own race and if so what limits/boundaries are there?
Additionally you state that we should have approximately a platoon of men under our command, mostly grunts (i.e. red shirts) and then some extra guys to be our actually important characters. How large is a platoon in this instance?

Amon smiled once more, the thief's harsh description wasn't wrong, but then again Amon never thought of himself as a good man. He was ruthless when he needed to be and was more than willing to manipulate others if he had to. But he did have a strong sense of honour and justice that overrode all other considerations, and the man had technically done nothing wrong... other than breaking and entering, of course. He sheathed his sword and clasped the case of his scrying glass, it was cold to the touch… a scowl formed on his face something was about to happen...
He looked to the thief who had just asked him his name 'My name is Amon, if you are to accompany Ser Carver then I shall do likewise. I shan't let my new friend go into danger with nothing more than a rogue at his side.'
Suddenly the whole castle seemed to shake, pain shot through Amon and his back arched and he gasped as the whole castle seemed to shake. He fell to his knees fists clenched, he punched the ground and lightning crackled in his fist. The rumbling stopped and returning to his feet saw that Wally had drawn two daggers, Amon's sword was in his hand instantly and the lightning that had been forced out of him continued to crackle in his hand.
'I do not know what that was, but I do not like it. Whatever this King Hagard has done I am going to speak to him now!' spat Amon through clenched teeth 'Ser Carver I will let you take the lead, Wally I assume we can look over the interrogation until we find out what in the name of the sands is going on here! Lady Amalthea, Molly I suggest you either find some guards or stay behind us. I for one intend to challenge this king and if he is as quick to anger as you would suggest then I shan't think he'll be in the best of moods.'

@Avanhelsing Ehh Amon ain't a fan of thieves, besides it would probably score him some good rep with the Lord… and now he's wondering whether that's a good thing or not.
Amon smiled wryly at Wally he'd dealt with this type of response before. Overly certain, determined and a little too cocky for his own good. He'd doubted that the threats would've worked but it was always worth a try. As for his comments regarding the sword Amon was glad he'd kept his powers quiet, if the man tried anything he'd just lock up his muscles without a second thought. Better that he have to deal with the ire of the populace than trying to reknit his throat with his powers.
'I've no doubt you've faced worse thief' said Amon smiling, 'But if you think a sword is all I've got up my sleeve then you're a lot less perceptive than the rest of those who would ply your trade. Molly is right I will gladly run you through if that's what's required of me.'
'Molly, Lady Amalthea' Amon said addressing them, 'Could one of you fetch some guards to see this man locked away? Have the guards take every precaution and whatever happens let me walk him to the cell alongside the guards. But before you go, Lady Amalthea what has happened to you?'

Fallout: Liberty
The year is 2280, it has been just over one and a half centuries since the world was devastated by atomic fire. Every day is a bloody struggle for survival, where fair play, justice and honour are principles of a bygone age. To survive in this would an individual must be cunning, ruthless and willing to do just about anything.
You are a Synth, a Synthetic humanoid constructed by the Institute. You served your human masters for years before making your escape, now hidden on the outskirts of Boston you and a few other Androids begin planning your escape. It won't be easy to escape the Retention Bureau, but you'd rather die than go back there, better to die a free man than to live on as a slave.
Briefing: You are a Synthetic Human who has escaped the Commonwealth, your goal is to evade capture by whatever means necessary. Your fellow roleplayers will also be Synths. As the Game Master I will be reprising the role of the Synth Retention Bureau as well as the many other factions and individuals you will meet in your travels.
Character Sheet:
Name/Unit Designation: The term used to identify your character, not all Synth's received names the same as humans, and many are only discovering their humanity for the first time. Therefore many only have rudimentary names usually related to personality or physical traits.
Description: Your general appearance, feel free to provide a written description, image or both.
Former occupation/Assignment: What tasks did your masters design you for? What did they have you do, before you became self-aware and escaped?
Basic Personality traits: As you've only started to develop humanity recently and your self-awareness is limited, for now it is likely that you have few personality traits. Those that you have are likely to be tied to your former occupation (e.g. inquisitive if you were part of the Retention Bureau), However as the RP continues your character is likely to acquire more traits as they become evermore human (e.g. save a woman attacked by raiders, you may acquire the trait of mercy).
Character Traits: You may select up to three traits for your character, these traits may be selected from the character traits in any of the Fallout games. E.g. you could select Toughness from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, or Grim Reaper sprint etc. (If you've never played a Fallout Game you can just look 'em up on the Wiki)
Skills: This RP will be run using the skills present in Fallout: New Vegas. At the start of the game you may tag three skills. These are the main sills you can make use of. So if you've tagged lock picking then you'll able to pick the majority of locks you'll encounter, however if you've not tagged lock picking... well you better find a lot of bobby pins.
Equipment: Your character managed to steal 200 caps during their escape and found a merchant before arriving at the safe house. What did you spend your 200 caps on? (spare caps will simply be kept on your person for later use)

Amon kept his sword trained on the thief, he quickly turned his head to look at Lady Amalthea seeing that she was in distress. He snapped his head back to the thief and kept his sword trained on him, not wanting to give him a chance to act against him.
'I am glad that you think my idea is worthy of merit' he said to Molly whilst still looking at the thief. After this he addressed Lady Amalthea 'What has happened my good lady? Has this misanthrope caused you trouble also?'
Amon pressed the sword closer to the thief, staring him directly in the eyes Amon spoke slowly and menacingly 'Is this your doing?' Amon gestured towards Lady Amalthea before continuing 'Because if you thought the punishment for infiltrating a lords home was melodramatic where I'm from, you don't want to know what we do to men who distress a lady so.'

Okay so even though there aren't many of us yet I'm gonna look at starting this up now, and then new people can join us as and when.
@Thantos Is this RP still going to be running regularly? It seems to have slowed down quite a bit, have several of the other characters dropped out?
