Bio

I'm Randomness. I also go by others names when it's unavailable, but those are usually some variation of Randomness or Random in general.

I like anime, video games, and science. I'm currently in school studying to become an radiologic technologist. I'm in the initial stages, so I'm on my way. My favorite anime is Eureka Seven, and my favorite video game is a tie between Kingdom Hearts and Etrian Odyssey.

I have several story ideas, but currently lack motivation to write them out. I have plenty of notes for some of them so when I finally get around I'm prepared. That said, I absolutely enjoy group story telling like you do through role playing. One of my interests involved is world building and the connections between them if any.

One of my characters travels between worlds, dimensions and universes. What these are meant to be are different RPs. There seems to be some taboo around such a character, but I feel that is should be judged on a case by case basis. The idea of a seasoned character who has been on many adventures being able to share stories in passing sounds like a fun idea. I thought it would be an interesting idea that those stories could be from other RPs. He isn't meant to highjack the current RP, or be over powered. I admit, I can see that concern. Really though, he is meant to be an eccentric character with stories and treasures not before seen. The effects of these stories are meant to be entertaining, like fairy tales to the current cast. And what treasures he has or can use I'd restrict to what makes sense in the current world. But like I said before, it should be case by case. A learner, and a story teller. I think it's fun to link concept together through this character so the story could live on in new ways and perhaps give new RPs a different kind of character. Without upending everything of course.

I wanted to wait to post where he would be able to act more, but it was quiet, so here is most of he reactions from the night before to now.
Benning “Code Blue” Honor

Location: Interstate 5, Oregon

Interaction: @Eviledd1984@Su




Just as Benning finished with what he was doing, one of his eye stalks turned to follow the sound of a howl. The alpha beast charged towards the squishy man known as Thomas. Luckily for him, if Thomas had any plans to avoid the mountain of muscle, he did not have need to enact any of them. Ahab had managed to intercept the wolf mid dash and used his size as a shield, letting the sharp teeth penetrate his thick skin rather than that of the human’s. Ahab didn’t just take it, he fought back with the strength of several wolves, ripping the jaw off one.

Benning immediately made course for Thomas and Ahab. The group was now huddling together and everyone were firing lead and lasers into the beast. Eventually, it was too much for the wolf, and it turned tail and fled back into the abyss which it came, the others who were significantly less bloody than their comrades followed. Once the tree line was empty of the sharp mouthed canines, the party started to rest and recuperate. Benning could not see Gail, and did feel some concern he might have been ambushed by the pack, but he could not dwell on it long. Ahab had been injured. Several large dashes formed semicircular impressions over Ahab’s arms and legs and would need treatment.

“Of course, Mr. Ahab.” Benning started to wrap the wounds with some bandages, and assessed whether the need for medication was necessary. It was hard to tell whether the medications would even work on a super mutant, but he kept these thoughts to himself. As he worked, one of the eye stalks looked up to Ahab. “If I am told correctly, you wish to become a medical provider. While I was not designed to teach medicine, I think I might be able to help you hone your skill. In fact, I think we can help each other so I may learn more about super mutant physiology.” Ahab could read and that already put him miles ahead of any other super mutant with remotely the same level of compassion Ahab had when it came to more intellectual professions.

After a few moments of cleaning and wrapping the wounds, Benning put his tools away. “Alright. Most of the wounds you received were only superficial damage. You could probably thank your bulk for that. I’ve cleaned out and stitched the deeper wounds. By human standards these should heal within a week or two. If damage persists, I have potent medications which may help the healing process work a little faster.” Benning gave Ahab a pat on the shoulder with his arm and went to the others who may have been injured and see to what needs they may have.

Once they were back on the road it was eerily quiet. Gail returned, so no one was lost to any wildlife. It was almost like there wasn’t any. Not that Benning complained about it. An easy trip would be a nice change of pace. Besides, the events of last night already cut everyone’s sleep short. If anyone was only half awake, Benning did not want to be in the middle of that gun fight. As they walked, Darya lectured Benning on his use of stimpaks. He apologized, but corrected her saying that when he was at Anchorage, there was need to keep moving, keeping everyone alive and healthy, and if he had spent the time to access everyone under fire, several would be dead by the time he got to them. That was unacceptable. He conceded that in this day and age, he should be thriftier with his medications. It’s not as easy to restock them as it once was. He also commended that if a 400-pound wolf tackling her several yards across the camp ground did not break any bones, then she was made of some pretty tough stuff.

The group stopped a fair distance away from the ruins of a town of some kind. Benning looked down towards them, but even when magnified, he didn’t see anything noteworthy. If it was inhabited, be it monsters or man, they were probably deeper inside the collection of barely habitable constructs. Gail had left to scout. After some time, he returned. The town sounds like it was attacked and perhaps taken over. If there were raiders in there, He wondered if the group would clear it out and make a path, or would find another path around. It looked like it was an end for easy straight path forward for now.
Apologies for the delay, I was caught up in various appointments and errands, I was having a hard time thinking about what I'd want to write.

“Ms. Sadeghi!” spoke Benning suddenly. He was practically next to her but he couldn’t do anything to fend off the wolf’s charge. Surely with such brute strength and speed, Darya would have taken a beating. Seeing it clamp down on her arm, he wasn’t sure if he could save it. Except he didn’t need to. Once the wolf had slumped over, he noticed sparks, not blood coming from her arm. It makes sense now. It was artificial, not covered in some sort of metallic armor, it was actual armor. The constant need to keep it clean made much more sense now. Actually, he surprised himself he didn’t notice sooner. He was probably distracted with his other compatriots that it never occurred to him. But that was neither here nor there. A battle was still going, and an Alpha wolf had made itself known.

In the midst of the battle, Benning still hurried next to the dust covered doctor. While she was able to dispatch her assailant, the tumble they took was anything by harmless. With near three hundred pounds of pure muscle just moments ago clamping down on Darya, it was a relief that she hadn’t suffered any more damage. With a quick stimpak, Darya should be tied over for the time being, but his job was not done. Wolves were charging in and taking swipes at everyone else, trying to pick them off probably.

The alpha wolf Darya pointed out seemed to now be facing Thomas. Larger than the others, dark grey fur, it exhaled the essence of the wasteland with each breath. With muscular prowess at on every square inch of this beast, it certainly was imposing. It was definitely something that should not be messed with. Unfortunately, Thomas seems to have volunteered to be first. A couple direct hits, but not enough to take it down. With its attention off od Darya and him, he quickly scanned the others in battle. The mutants were handling themselves fine. Well at least one of them, Benning did not know where Gail had moved to. The drone and its master were doing fine. Alexis on the other hand, not so much. Her body posture and facial expressions, not so much. It was probably a while since he last seen her inject herself with something.

Benning made his way next to Alexis. “I wish I could be of help, but I am incapable of harming another living being. Perhaps if you allow me administer some medication, you can dispatch these beasts before any more harm is done.” Said Benning. Alexis had just finished giving orders, but it seemed to have fell on deaf ears. He had prepared a small dose of Med X, a pain reliever. Theoretically, that could help ease the pressure on her legs, so that she could put all of her attention on the wolves, especially the alpha. Sometimes, it bothered him he could not prime his weapon. He couldn’t tell if that sentiment was because of the other or not. It didn’t matter, so for now Benning had bandages prepared in another of his appendages just in case.

Benning had seen trees and the like before. Granted, it had been a couple centuries since he had last seen them, but even as they mutated to grow large and bioluminescent, it was a healthy sign for life. The fallout from the Great War had a completely different effect here, and Benning was all for it. If it wasn’t for the fact they were headed into less and less familiar territory, even for the NCR, he would have called it peaceful. A place where no harm could be done. IT was very photogenic. A straight highway of broken-down vehicles and eroded concrete surrounded lush vegetation. Had the road turned to the west just a bit more, at this time of day, their rag tag group’s silhouette could make for a phenomenal promotional poster.

Benning liked the group they had going. It was different, and he liked that. Compared to the dime a dozen NCR soldiers he treated; this was a nice change of pace. After spending years staring at the same transport vessel wall slowly watching it rust any time anything new took place, it was a thrilling experience. He was satisfied working with the NCR, but he had his fair share of complaints. Of course, being a robot made it hard to bring these feeling across. If he wanted to practice medicine, the NCR was the only way. His unwanted other half made it hard for him to find employment in more private hospitals which in this day and age were few and far in-between. This chance to explore the wilderness and still be of use to those around him was the change he needed this time around. No longer in the desert, it was easier keeping the sand out of his joints.

It was oddly reassuring to be with a couple super mutants and an engineer. Their presence alone would hopefully have enough intimidation to stop the lesser thugs from accosting them. Even though they had more than a few odd looks from the various settlers along their route. Benning really couldn't blame them since super mutants not killing anything that breaths were very rare. For the most part, communication in Klamath was easy. Supplied up with various drugs and stimpaks, Benning was prepared. Enough medicine between him and Ahab plus enough fire power between everyone else, this trip was looking like it would go without a hitch. But this is the wasteland. As beautiful as it is at the moment, anything can happen, so it’s best to be prepared.

Once they made it to a former rest area, they had set up a camp. With so few buildings, it wasn’t much better than sitting out in the middle of the woods with only a camp fire and those on their bedrolls. For a bit there, Benning had decided to remain active with Darya. He was good to go for several more days before he would need to rest of any sort. Besides, when the night fell, the glow of the leaves gave everything a supernatural effect. Just bright enough to distinguish, but dark enough that the shade of the spaces between the trunks left them alone in an otherwise black abyss.

Something grabbed his attention as one of his eye stalks turned to face movement coming through the trees. He focused barely making out the outline of some large beast quickly darting back and forth. Then another one. Dozens if not more of the creatures were hastily surrounding them. He turned back towards the camp when Darya called out. It was as he feared. It looks like they would be a pack of wolves next meal. It was at times like this where Benning felt a need to initiate combat, but he simply could not. NO matter. He harkened back toward the days of Anchorage. He trusted the skill of those traveling with them. Preparing a stimpak syringe, Benning was ready. Battle was not without harm and this way he lean it towards his colleagues.

I thought I saw two ghouls in the works. Just realized that neither made it.
@Randomness

I like it, but what I would like to see is a reason for Benning joining the expedition. Either in his personality or backstory.


Aight, I edited the character sheet adding a couple paragraphs at the end of the background.
My Fallout knowledge may be a little rusty, but I'm willing to give this a shot.

Sucks I didn't make the cut. I wish you all the best, and hope the adventure reaches its highest peak.
