Fallout: New Vegas ~Render Unto Caesar🔪~ (Cancelled)

I'm interested, but as a long time fallout fan, I have to say this wouldn't work. It's been shown that if a tribe refuses to join, Ceasar uses superior equient and formations and simply throws an entire legion of thousands of men to crush even the smallest tribe. I understand if you want some kind of alternative timeline, but the tribe wouldn't actually last a week.

This aside, a story of futile resistance could still be good. The only tribe left alone, temporary as it was, was the New Caananites. A tribe of 185 total would have to split it's home and resort to guerrilla warfare, which in it's own way is tempting.

@Sleeth

Perhaps futile resistance is what I was going for.

Maybe?...

Fallout: New Vegas ~Render Unto Caesar🔪~ (Cancelled)

@Mister Thirteen Color me interested. Was doing a Legion Playthrough myself a few weeks ago, actually. Melee+Explosive and nothing else. Lol

Anyway, what are Anuksu's policies on outsiders/fugitives? Kind of thinking I might play a survivor/fugitive from an already-conquered tribe. Might give them PTSD issues about facing the Legion, but should make for an interesting character arc.

@Double

They are a very isolationist tribe. In fact outsiders aren't welcome at all.
Granted they don't try to blow you to high hell like the Boomers, they'll just turn you away and if your caught trying to sneak in you'll be shot.

I'm afraid that you must be a member of the Anuksu, a resident of their compound Hope Point. While I do like your character idea, I can't let you do that. If I make one exception in your case then everybody will want an exception of their own.
I hope this doesn't push you away from the RP.

EDIT: And besides, the whole storyline is deadlocked around the tribe and it's people alone.

___________________________________________________________________________

After recently watching a well done fan film and self-reminiscing about my past Legion playthrough of Fallout:New Vegas, I have been inspired to create a fandom RP set within the Fallout:New Vegas universe.

The RP will be set in the year 2279, two years after the First Battle of Hoover Damn and two years prior to the canon events of the game. The story will revolve around a fledgling tribe east of the Colorado River, their territory perched along the border holdings of Caesar's Legion.

This tribe has yet to meet the wrath of the Legion, but that day shall soon come. As Caesar looks to mass together slaves, gather resources, and claim lands, this steadfast independent tribe will soon find the Legion's greedy gaze upon them.

Faced with inevitable war with with the Legion, what choice do they have? To surrender and be absorbed into the Legion, for their wives and daughters to be enslaved and they to be conscripted into Caesar's armies?

No. They will fight.
They will face the armies of Caesar and defend their independence, their homes, their families, their very lives.
They will stand against the armies of Caesar and fight to the last man, they will oppose the Monster of The East...

ROLEPLAY OUTLINE...

+

Our story begins with an envoy from Caesar's Legion arriving in the tribal village. The envoy presents them with an option, they can surrender now to the Legion and be peacefully absorbed into it's ranks. The men willing to set aside their tribal identity and take up the ways of the Legion will be commissioned into Caesar's armies, while the women and girls will be sold as slaves or serve as Legion wives, and the young boys will be taken in and trained by the Legion.

The tribe vehemently refuses and sends the envoy away, who swears that they will all be crushed by the Legion.

The Legion then attacks the tribes' hunting and gathering parties and destroys their pure water source.
In response, the tribe chieftain gathers together a war party and attacks and destroys a Legion raiding camp. They loot the Legion camp for supplies and weapons, sending couriers back to their village with the supplies taken from the camp.

The war party then forties the ruins of a Pre-War farm, and use it as a forward defensive point from Legion attack.
The chieftain will also send runners to another tribe further south asking for help, as well as scavenging old ruins for food, supplies, and weapons to fight the Legion.

OOC; And that's all I'll be giving away for now. The rest is to be seen and experienced within the Roleplay itself. This should however give you a basic inkling of the plot arc.

ABOUT THE TRIBE...

+

The Anuksu tribe (Uh-nuck-sue) , they are people of solidity and isolation, avoiding expansion and exploration into the dangerous lands of the Mojave, instead remaining locked away in their tribal compound, which they have named
Hope Point.

The tribe first came together roughly thirty years prior, in 2249, when several bands of wanderer sand nomads joined together and journeyed across the desert in search of a place to settle. They discovered the ruins of an Pre-War power plant, and several nearby ruined buildings. Seeing a sturdy structure that could be easily fortified and defended, they settled here, several miles southeast from Cottonwood Cove, on the eastern side of the Colorado River.
Through the years, the Anuksu accomplished much for themselves; they grew crops, scavenged for resources and supplies, and fortified their compound, protecting it from mutant wildlife and savage tribals.

Through the years their population steadily grew, families were raised and a new generation would inherit the tribe.

At this point, the tribe is at it's peak. It's people are well fed and nourished, it's walls and buildings stand sturdy, and the current Chieftan, Horacio, guides the tribe wisely and justly.

RULES AND RESTRICTIONS

+

1. No godmodding, metagaming, raging, cyber bullying, ect.)

2. After 3 days of unannounced activity, your character is neutralized from player status and becomes an AI NPC.

3. Do not interfere with canon characters, ecents and happenings, though that will be hard to do. In fact, the only canon characters to appear in this RP will be Lanius, Caesar, and perhaps Vulpes Inculta, maybe.
Regardless, no killing Lanius and try to avoid referencing or interacting with any canon characters that have no association to Caesar's Legion.

4. No killing important characters without a heads-up or permission, such as Anuksu tribals, Legion commanders, or key NPC's introduced by me.

5. *, characters marked with this red astrid ARE NOT to be killed.

6. Weapon Referencing; When your character picks up, finds, or trades for a new weapon, please list in parenthesis beside what weapon from Fallout: New Vegas it is.
Like so;

(Character) knelt by the fallen Legion soldier, reaching into his side holster and pulling the rustic looking revolver (.357 Revolver) from his corpse.

(Character) raised his rifle (Hunting Rifle), his eye leering through the scope at the approaching Legion soldier below, his finger edging across the trigger.

Threshold purpose of this is to keep players from getting wild with the weapons they find. No SAW HMG's or AKS-74u's, keep it restrained to canon weaponry pease. Trust me, if I don't put some kind of cap or lock on weaponry, someone will "happen to find a functional UAV drone controller on a fallen Decanus".

Note: You only have to reference/list the weapon once, that being when you find/steal/trade for it.

8. 2-4 Paragraphs per post, insure you use proper grammar and sentence structuring please.

So then, if your still with me and interested after all that hefty reading then great!
For now all I'm worried about is accumulating interest and gathering pledges. Further information and the Character Sheet will be provided after I have a decent sized roster of pledges or interest holders.

Excited about this as a GM and I hope to see some interest!

THE STORY OF LANIUS (What inspired me to create this Roleplay.)

~Nyte Bloods~

My next post will have Liza's concurrence and then skip to that next morning as she and Alice arrive at a boutique. Fair?

~Nyte Bloods~

On seeing Alice eyeing her dresser, Liza grew fidgety.
After Alice finished, Liza immediately replied,"Tell you what, how about you and I make a trip to a cloth store and maybe a crafts store after I get back from work? It'll have to be later that morning though," Liza warned,"so we'll have to be brisk and stay out of the sunlight as best we can."

Liza brushed some fuzz from her right shirt sleeve, saying as she did,"And by the way, it'll probably just be you, without me. I don't do balls, dresses, and orderves. Besides, I'll have to work that night."

While Liza was a little nervous about leaving Alice with Dalton, Alice was still an adult, and besides, Liza couldn't hold Alice's hand for the rest of eternity. Alice would have to learn to start functioning on her own out in the world as a Vampire.
Besides, as slick as Dalton was, Liza had never known him to be dangerous or evil intended.

~Nyte Bloods~

Liza lowered both hands to her sides in a lax manner, her face held a look of firmness yet sympathy in the same. She rolled her lower lip up into her mouth, chewing at it slightly as her mind raced.
Liza honestly hadn't been interested when Dalton had invited her, and politely informed him that she would just have to see. Considering it was taking place on a work night, odds are she couldn't attend even if she truly desired to.

Though seeing the uncontained excitement from Alice, it was clear to Liza that Alice would enjoy such a thing. Honestly, an uppity masquerade ball party was probably more up Alice's alley than the wild bar scene at Benny's.
Though she seemed to be growing used to her new life as a Vampire, Liza could see that the "inconvenience" that Vampirism had induced into Alice's lifestyle and hobbies was depressing her, irritating her at the least.
Liza perfectly understood, after all, she had been there before too.

After thinking for a minute, still chewing at her lip, Liza finally spoke,"You know, if you really want to go, we could always swing by a dress or costume store after I get off of work tonight. You'll have to buy or rent a dress though I'm afraid. The ball is in three days, I doubt you'll have time to make a dress in that time. You have your disguise, remember? Something like going dress shopping won't be an issue."

~Nyte Bloods~

It was then that the bathroom door opened, and out stepped Liza.
She was wearing her black button-up work shirt and matching black jeans, her hair hung loosely as ever down past her shoulders.
She firmly pushed the bathroom door shut with a click and stepped over to Alice, reaching up and brushing strands of hair from her forehead as she did so.

"Alright, I'm about to leave for work. I'll be back later tonight though, probably around four or so, my shift was extended since Sarah and Hannah are sick."

She stepped past Alice over to the dresser and grabbed her apartment key and her cell phone, sticking them both into her front right pocket.
She walked past Alice and headed for the door. As she extended her hand for the knob, she hesitated slightly, looking back to Alice.

"Oh, by the way," she said, as she looked to Alice,"Dalton texted me last night. He invited us both to, get this, a masquerade ball Downtown."

EPISODE 4: A DEADLY DANCE

____________________________________________________________________________

It was a cool, pleasant night. The air was at a comfortable temperature, and the steady wind was a welcome factor. The gentle breeze cruised across the face and the through the hair of Thomas. He sat back, relaxed in a decorative wicker chair on the back patio of a magnificent estate. He stared out across the courtyard, his eyes rolling over the neatly trimmed hedges, decorative stone benches, and the elaborate fountain in the center yard which geysered crystal clear water from it's spout.

Thomas sat with his legs casually crossed, his left hand lay relaxed on the chair arm while his right firmly held a long white cigarette up near his mouth. He held it to his lips and inhaled, followed by a stream of white smoke from his nostrils as he lowered it from his lips.

"Nice night." Came a voice from behind.

Briefly startled, Thomas refrained from turning or flinching as he recognized the voice.

"Indeed so." He replied.

From the corner of his eye, Thomas saw him step up next to his chair, it was Dalton.

"You said you have something, I believe." Thomas said, taking another hit to his cigarette, not looking around.

"I do." Dalton replied, his hands in his jacket pockets as he too gazed out across the posh courtyard.
"I've identified our mystery victim, and her place of residence, and business I might add," Dalton continued,"her name is Alice Lynch. She owns a tailor shop, just below her apartment."

Thomas exhaled, releasing more smoke from his mouth and nose,"The same one who disappeared from the hospital? The one who vanished without a trace?" He asked.

"That's right." Dalton replied.

"So," Thomas said,"Liam turned her, and she's fled into the shadows."

"Not quite," Dalton said, prompting Thomas to halfway look around at him, Dalton continued,"she's shacking up with an old 'friend' of mine, another Vampire."

"Interesting." Thomas said, standing up from his wicker seat.
He stepped forward to the edge of the patio, slowly placing his left hand onto the stonework before him, an unseen twinkle in his eye.
After a moment of silence, Dalton asked,"What are you thinking?"

"Tell me," Thomas said, without turning around,"do you and this other Vampire that our dear Alice is staying with keep in touch these days?"

"I see her rather often." Dalton replied.

"Good," Thomas replied,"then I want you to invite her and Alice to a...little get-together Downtown. We're going to enlist the help of Alice to catch Liam."

"What?" Dalton demanded, withdrawing his hands from his pockets,"How?"

Thomas took another hit to his cigarette and said with a smile,"Let me worry about that, you just focus on extending a well-meant invitation to your little friend. If the cards fall right, we'll have the means to set a unavoidable trap that Liam Enduro couldn't possible squirm out of."

THEME SONG

~Nyte Bloods~

Right then @LadyRunic.

I'll have the opening post up later.
It'll vault back to Thomas and Dalton, then you can do your post, and it'll flow from there.

~Nyte Bloods~

Dandy. I'll of course expect you to effectively list all of that in your first IC post, it'll be a lengthy one, but so will my opening post.

BTW, would Alice be comfortable sharing the bed with Liza?
