I'm kind of interested, but I don't understand what stats do(except endurance). Is there a dice system? How are success/failures or hit/misses determined?

Stats are simple:
Strength determines your DAM (damage) with melee and unarmed weapons (so, for every point of Strength, it adds two points to your DAM). Each weapon also has a Strength requirement, so if you do not meet that requirement it will raise the minimum number on the die needed to hit by 1 (so if you have 1 Luck and don't meet the Strength requirement you will never hit).
Perception determines your ability to spot things (so, you are more likely to find enemies that are hiding or hidden objects), and also determines your DAM with energy weapons (lasers, plasma, etc.) using the same idea of every point you get plus 2 DAM.
You get Endurance.
Charisma is your ability to persuade NPCs by modifying the minimum number needed to succeed; for every two points, it lowers the number required by 1(so, a character with 1 Charisma will need a 6 to succeed while a character 10 Charisma will always persuade).
Intelligence determines when you level up (for every two points of Intelligence, it requires one less action [picking a lock, killing an enemy, persuading a character, etc.] to level up).
Agility determines your ability to sneak, and the DAM of guns (using the same formula as Strength and Perception). It also determines how many actions you can perform in a turn, with every two points adding an extra action to the turn.
Luck determines how likely you are to hit, by modifying the minimum required number on the die to hit using the same formula used in Charisma (so, 1 point of Luck requires a 6 to hit while a character with 10 will always hit).

We're using a simple system I like to call 'D6', where only a six-sided die will be used. The die will be rolled during persuasion attempts and in combat, and I'm sure the stats explain how it's used during those instances well enough.

That should answer your questions; I'll also add this to combat and stuff.

Quick question; Will we be using perks in any way?

Since we're using a dice system (I figured this from the original post on combat, but I never did verify it) Perks could be pretty fun to mess around with, and useful.

Well of course we'll be using perks! They'll be modified for this system though, such as Bloody Mess taking 1 more Health with each attack, or Lady Killer/Black Widow taking 1 more Health from females/males with each attack as well as adding plus 1 Charisma when talking to them.

Yeah, that clears things up.

@Simple Unicycle @geminironin @Katsa

A heads' up to who I know (Or, uh, figured) read my CS already, I've changed it to an entirely different character.

Gonna need your opinion on the new one Unicycle.

@BytheSpleen, @Raddum
Accepted!

Name: Charlie Wills
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Physical Description: Tall and thin, with short and neat auburn hair, and a short matching beard. His eyes are gray and soft, and his features are thin and sharp. Like his hair and beard, his vault jumpsuit is kept clean and neat, always freshly ironed, and the colors are bright like the suit is new.
Personality: Somewhat reserved, but friendly and generally helpful. He's kind, but passionate and unswerving in his morals, even if he sometimes doesn't want to be. He wants to do what's right, but sometimes finds himself frustrated with the constraints of his faith.
Bio: Most of the dwellers of Vault 49 would agree that Charlie was destined to take on the mantle of the vault's chaplain. He was always selfless and thoughtful of others, and he took to the Good Book like few did since the war. And it didn't really hurt things that his father and grandfather had also been the Vault Chaplains of their time.

When his father died his early death from a fault in his heart, Charlie took over. He has big shoes to fill, but he's done that and more. He's generally well liked, and a good part of that is from his ability to keep his truest feelings bottled up.
Job: Vault Chaplain

Vault 49 Jumpsuit
Pipboy - 2000
His family's Bible.
A gold chained cross.

Rad Level: 0

Strength: 4

Now we just have to wait for @Katsa and @Xeronoia to post an app and for @geminironin to finish.

Yo, my power is out due to harsh weather. I'll probably be gone for a few days. Just a heads' up.

@Raddum
It's a'ight.

Power is back on, I'm back in action and ready whenever everyone else is. >.>
