[OOC] Fallout Role Play [Always Accepting]

[Laika]

@Laika

Will finish that history then. Was more worried the concept wasn't goin' to be accepted. In Fallout 1 and 2 it was about the end of the world becoming more tribal or primitive. So I was sort of following the traditions of the first two games.

@TheRedWatcher

Good stuff. I was a little cautious of the concept in the beginning but after reading through the CS it looks good, just be aware of yourself when writing posts so as not to metagame or anything.

@Laika

Nah man. He cannot see the future or anything. He sort of has something that makes him feel butterflies in his stomach so he has a heightened sense of awareness. But the main function of his Psyker abilities is making telepathic suggestions to his War Dogs Ripjaw and Shredclaw. My history and stuff is completed.

What I tend to do and it's something Angel taught me is I roll a d100 with variant effects, if he rolls a 1 he doesn't sense the danger, but if he rolled 100 then he senses something and gets out of the way.

I definitely don't try to metagame and his suggestions to his war dogs will be things dogs can actually do. I won't get too weird with it.

I just thought the idea would be fun.

@TheRedWatcher

No worries then, I had gathered he couldn't see the future from reading the sheet. If you want to go about that method with the d100 that works with me, it's really not necessary though, feel free to use your power at will and don't worry I wasn't assuming you were going to break rules, aha.

History looks good, accepted.

[AngelofOctober]

I still think it's a horrifying perspective that the Cannibal is a better medical doctor than the lady you'd want to get medical treatment for.

Nah it's cool. I get it if you were. New player. We never met. So you don't know what I'd do. It's fine you doing your job.

@TheRedWatcher

I wasn't, haven't been here much longer than you. All good.

@Laika

Question. Do you think or could I at least update my sheet to reputations between Fleabite and the other factions? I feel like the broad Evil makes him come off well like Evil. Only reason he'd be considered evil by the Karma system is that he eats people. But Fleabite would fall in DnD as Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil.

He does was is necessary to survive. And since their powers are suggestions with animals, and to have a telepathic link with animals. Humans are tasty to animals. Thus humans are tasty the Den. I know it sounds all sorts of weird, but....Fleabite isn't just evil evil. He has morals. He can be charismatic. Persuaded. He has his philosophies and his ethics.

Maybe I should just update a personality section for him.

@TheRedWatcher

Yeah, sure, just let me know when you update it so I can have a look. I understand what you mean, you want Fleabite to be a moral grey area. Sounds good.

I'm not a massive fan of personality sections for numerous reasons, which is why I didn't add it to the sheet, but if you want to add one then go ahead, I don't see any reason not too.

@Laika

Ye. I like morally grey because that's how FNV, F1, and F2 do it. You have moral standing with the factions. You aren't just straight evil.

@TheRedWatcher

I get you, straight evil/good can get boring after a while, I feel the same way. On a related note, `Fleabite`, great name, sounds like something you'd hear in the Fallout universe.

Well that was 3 years ago back in the commonwealth. What he's where? The capital wasteland I've heard bad things about that area, well I wish him luck” -Frank Winterburg
“My life? Why would you care about that? I'll start where it matters at the age of 10 my mother was killed by a mirelurk, and it was then just me and my brother, Roy. When I was 13 Roy and I came to a bridge and we were stopped by a group of raiders.

@Sirkaithethird

It's a bit short, take a look at the other characters in the index section to get a better idea of what's expected length wise. What I'm seeing at the moment doesn't tell us as players very much about your character, it's all very vague.

You might want to read the rules also.

[Sirkaithethird]

@Laika
I did read the rules... also slightly left it vague for a reason I forgot to work in why so hold on

@Sirkaithethird

You had forgotten to add <exciting beeping>, you have now. Leaving it vague for a reason is not an excuse in this role play. That is far to short for the standards of this thread. There was a CS refused already that was longer.

Edit: I didn't see your PM about it not copying, that's fine. The sheet is still too short, if you want to add more I'll review it again.

@Laika

Hold on I'm redoing the whole thing I'll pm you once I've got it. Working on a train home is quite hard...

[TheRedWatcher]

@Laika

This is what I have so far

Karma:

Ghouls of the Subway Tunnels - Good Standing - the Ghouls don’t bother the Den as much as they use to. At first the Ghouls didn’t know what to think with the strange human sacrifices that went down and while they may be hostile if anyone enters the Den itself, outside of the Den they do trade goods and have a neutral zone where they meet. And sometimes accidents do happen. Sometimes the Feral Ghouls take a nibble or two out of their tribe members, but everyone has a good laugh about it later. No point in worrying over spoiled meat.

CMC - No Good Standing - There’s something about people getting upset because you find their people the weakest and tastiest that gets them upset when you take their people. It’s honestly just a difference in opinion.

Brotherhood of Steel - Hated Infamous - If you thought the CMC were sticks in the mud, the Brotherhood of Steel has made an enemy out of us. They have raided the Den more times then we can count. We have had to renovate and change the tunnels to the inner sanctum of the den more times then we can count. They call us even more scum of the Wasteland than the scum. They have called to annihilate us all. But we won't’ have it. We’ll stand against them.

It's looking good, sounds like he's gathered some formidable enemies.

Gotta love the idea that a feral ghoul tries to eat them and they are so good with each other

"oh no big deal, feral ghoul gotta do what a feral ghouls gotta do"

lmao

The CMC finds them a nuisance. But the Brotherhood of Steel hate them. I forgot to add the part where Fleabite bit one of the captains ears off as a message.

<Snipped quote by Kaja>

Accepted. You say your character occupation is in the Commonwealth, we're playing in the Capital Wasteland at the moment.

Fixed that up for you, It was more of a backstory thing.
