Bio

My name, as you may have noticed, is Sven. The last part of my username is a historical reference to an important person in Dutch history, William the Silent to be specific, an important leader during the Dutch revolt. If this didn't tell you already, I love history. I eat, breath and sleep history. Anything involving a historically correct setting will most likely draw my interest, whether it is during the first or perhaps the second World War, the colonial age, or even the the ancient times during the Roman Empire.

Now to sum this up to an easy and bite sized piece of information, I will most likely be down for the following scenarios or genres in terms of roleplay:

- Apocalyptic settings, whether that be Zombie or natural disasters. (Both post-apocalyptic and during the apocalypse itself.)
- Roleplays during the first or the second World War are things I enjoy immensly and that is something i'm very knowledgeable on as well.
- Ancient Rome, love it. If you have anything to do with that or possibly with things like that such as the Greek city states, I will most likely be interested.
- Videogames, roleplays based on video games such as the Metro or the Fallout series are things I can also enjoy.

Fair point, but what I mean with dense is. The Netherlands has 17,000,000 million people. The largest city in The Netherlands holds 800,000 people. There are many, many towns, villages and cities all around the country and not exactly far apart from eachother either. Bordering nations such as Belgium and Germany have the same issue, though are a little less dense. Yet most of Germany's population is focused in the West, combined with that of Belgium's and that of The Netherlands. It would be a rather hostile and unforgiving place.

With England i'd imagine things are a bit more sparse, though it's impossible to know how many refugee camps were set up and where. But I do certainly imagine huge quantaties of new folk to be around.

America would do great as usual, even though i'm not from there myself.

Though, if you want things to be more challenging. I'd suggest a country with a dense population. Such as The Netherlands or Belgium, they are surrounded by areas also highly populated and furthermore, the lack of firearms amongst the general population makes thing even more of a challenge.

I don't have an issue with Super Mutants having spread north towards Canada, though I find it unlikely that one of the few intelligent Super Mutants would be accepted by anyone, if anything they'd be shot on side. The pre-war world is more of a shoot first ask questions later type of world, especially regarding something as a Super Mutant.

I can however see one intelligent Super Mutant leading a band of dumb Super Mutants and using them to raid inside Canada, though this would imply a faction being present rather then loosely scattered groups of Super Mutants we could encounter.

As for the Synths, the Railroad helped Synths yes, though mostly to neighbouring states. Their objective was to get the Synth outside of the borders of the Commonwealth, from there on out they were on their own. (Might be slightly wrong here but i'm fairly certain it was just getting them outside of the Commonwealth.) Their memories were wiped as well, hence their knowledge of the Institute would be gone also.

Even if one went to Canada, northern Canada in the east that is. It is very unlikely that they went all the way to Vancouver in the West, even more so if one got their alive.

I notice that the options of Synth and Mutant are available, which I assume means Super Mutant, are both available. It is highly unlikely that a single Synth from the Institute was able to make it so far West. Even if the Institute won the war against The Brotherhood of Steel, they were content on operating in The Commonwealth alone and the adjacent states. Though sending Synths all the way West seems highly unlikely, teleportation wouldn't be able to transport a person that far. Lets just me just rephrase that to saying, why is the option for Synths available exactly?

As for the Super Mutants, more likely. Even though there are no records about experiments in Canada with the F.E.V though it is possible that a Super Mutant made its way up north. Yet then we face the issue of Super Mutants having the intelligence of a child. An intelligent super mutant like Virgil being in Canada let alone exist still, also seems highly unlikely to me.

I'm not necessarily, hating. I'm just confused as to why the options are there.
I am curious about the exact events that would have taken place in the Commonwealth, seeing as they would be quite significant and would most likely affect the areas in the west also.

In my opinion a victory against the Institute on behalf of the Brotherhood of Steel would give them full and unchallengeable control over the entirety of The Commonwealth. Not only that, but by destroying the feared boogyman, their already massive ranks would see a surge in new recruits. This leaves them in control of both The Capital Wasteland and The Commonwealth, their ranks enlarged quite significantly.

It is very likely that they would send troops back to California to deal with the NCR, which in my opinion would be a fight in which they would most likely stand victorious. I would not be surprised if at the very least, patrols were send into the Canadian regions in search of technology.
I did not see the link to the new interest check before posting, thus i'll refrain from commenting here and redirect it to the new thread.
@Lauder@SomeChap@ClocktowerEchos@Minimum@carla6677 One of you told me that he had not posted a Nation Sheet yet because he was waiting for mine. I am now wondering if it's the same for all of you. I figured this was dead, hence I have not posted anything yet. I've already invested a lot of time into this, hence I want to make sure I have participants before spending more time on a Nation Sheet.

So, by all means. Post/make a Nation Sheet. My role is already clear and you know i'm a participant 100% guaranteed. Never the less, if I see sheets being posted then I will get mine up as well.
@Lauder You got it. They're yours.
@SomeChap They're yours.

@ClocktowerEchos Same goes for you, if you want them.
@Minimum Sure thing, though you'd have to choose for yourself which one you want.
