I assume you're talking about the "mysterious metal" falling from the skies? That does seem coincidentally apropos. Lol.

Which may or may not be a result of the aftermath of a certain FO3 DLC... Spoilers ;)

I think you can safely share spoilers whenever you like - We're a bunch of people looking to write in the Fallout Universe. Spoilers are fair-game in the pursuit of writing awesome stuff.

Ah, so you're thinking of incorporating the Mothership Zeta stuff in there? Interesting. We can always use a few more aliens.

The idea is that the debris from the ship you destroy was far too big to have all burnt up in orbit and large sections of it crash land in Canada, which is how certain factions have risen into power, and why both BoS and the Enclave are having a bitch fit over it. Of course, the most powerful stuff it either undiscovered, or damaged (at point) to be repaired to a fully operable state.

I have such a love/hate relationship with the aliens in Fallout. I place my unyielding faith in our almighty GM's ability to incorporate them.

Very interesting. Some kind of alien weapon (perhaps a beam of some kind bounced off of an old satellite?) instead of the nuclear missiles would make for a pretty impressive mcguffin. It would also explain the BoS and Enclave presence quite handily, and their mutual urgency in taking on The Empire.

It would be rather interesting if such a dangerous foe became the catalyst for the two groups being forced to work together, at least temporarily. (A la the BoS and NCR in the Mojave in the Battle for Hoover Dam against their mutual foe.)

It will be mainly just scraps of their tech that factions have found, there will be very little if no actual living aliens running around XCOM style.

PRAISE THE ATOM! I'm sure between us we could have handled aliens, but I'm glad we don't have to go down that rabbit hole.

So what we're looking at, at least from what I've gathered:

The Empire of the Shattered Sky (Tinsui, The Empire)

A nearly two hundred years-old organization originating from Vault 44 (4 is an unlucky number in Chinese), the decedents of a Vault-Tec experiment to study communism, and the Chinese "mindset." Since emerging from the vault, the former vault-dwellers have developed their own society in the northern region of former British Columbia, establishing their own laws and monarchy, ruled by an enigmatic figure known as The Emperor of the Shattered Sky.

Within the last decade, a surprising amount of flaming debris touched down near Imperial borders, and their scouts and scientists gathered as much as they could find, realizing that the scorched pieces comprised parts of an extraterrestrial vessel. Though the concept had frightening complications, the Imperial scientists went to work, eventually scrapping together a working version of one of the unusual weapons - a beam which could be reflected off of one of the numerous satellites in orbit, to be fired down as space-faring artillery.

Upon the initial test fire, however, the beam's aim was slightly miscalculated, and scorched a settlement approximately two hundred miles south of the Imperial palace. The accident notwithstanding, the results were impressive, as nothing had survived the blast, and the earth and sand itself had been practically turned to glass and slag where there was once buildings and farms.

The test proven successful, the Emperor encouraged further research, especially in light of the considerable power drain required by the weapon itself.

The test firing, however, attracted the attention of both The Enclave and The Brotherhood of Steel, each of which sent scouting groups to the area like moths to a flame, curious and concerned about the source of such an output of energy.

Name: Bluey

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Dirty with a crazed look in his eye. Looks like he is permanently high on Chems. Is covered in scars from head to toe. Had red hair, athletic build and is always dressed in combat boots and pants, and a gas mask.

Affiliation: Raiders

Backstory: He can't remember much from his old life, only that he used to live in a settlement that was overrun by Raiders when he was very young. From the stories some of the older Raiders tell, the boss at the time took a shine to him, and decided to keep him alive and not sell him to anyone, or eat him. He was made to do chores around the Raider camp, and was soon addicted to Chems. A couple of years of this kind of living, and he soon became one of them, a Raider. He helped attack towns, caravans and even lone groups of travelers. He was soon known for being one of the most fearless and tough Raider in the area, rivalled only by a handful of others. He began to heavily use Mentats and didn't like taking any of the others because they made him feel weird. Eventually the group he was with noticed he was smarter, and the leader usually allowed him to come up with the plans for attacking towns and the like, though whoever the leader was depended on who killed the last one and took their place. Now, Bluey is second in charge to a large group of Raiders, and is very proud of being second, and very loyal to the boss.

Accepted

Even though I'm not active in the OOC, I'm still 100% in; I've just been busy with homework and house cleaning.

And so it begins. My laptop is in the shop as of current, but I'll try and begin work on my first post ASAP.

Oh shit I guess I gotta hurry up with my cs

Here's the CS (WIP)

Starting the brainstorming process. should have something up over the course of the weekend.

@Catchphrase@Legion-114

Are we looking to engage? Can we kill off Enclave soldiers, and what about the Raiders?

While Hudson isn't exactly looking for a fight, having either of the groups making their ways near his base is probably going to start a firefight. What's the general plan for this situation?

I'm not super familiar with the game Fallout. Would it still be possible for me to play in this RP? I've been reading about it a little bit, but some parts a little confusing.
