[@Apollosarcher] Thanks, glad to hear there's still room for me to join in. 
The shades of an idea I've got so far is playing somebody who's human, male, and not necessarily a Vault Dweller, but perhaps the descendant of one from a Vault that opened earlier, so maybe second-generation, and inherited a pip-boy. Their normal occupation would be wandering the wastes and doing something that's kind of a cross between a cartographer and a scavenger/salvager for hire. Charting out what or who has risen up in various former towns or other urban areas, exploring ruins and finding new settlements etc and making maps for others to use, as well as recovering useful supplies, tools, weapons, etc.

Generally sort of an affable, good-natured sort of person, as I prefer playing that kind of character and it makes them easier to interact with a group (plus I got over my edgy phase a long time ago, lol). Pretty much on the good alignment, but not above making bad people pay for what they've done in spades, and with little sympathy for bullies or cruel-hearted folks ('good is not nice, or stupid')
Nothing OTT for weapons, just a couple of reliable and versatile weapons; a .45 handgun and a rifle that's good for long and medium ranges, and an axe or knife. Maybe a couple of other goodies if/when the opportunity arises, but not on the regular. Some decent enough armour. The kind of gear born from experience and knowing what fits, rather than for taking on everything and anything, or trying to overthrow nations. 

The part I need to hammer down and refine is a background that fits in, really; just need to brush up on my lore and especially so for this particular iteration of Fallout as related to the RPG and what would fit.
