Can't believe that I actually got an RP close to its endgame, btw...

Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

Par had been in New Orleans for a few weeks now, his barge going back and forth through various places in the Bayou, trading goods, getting caps, and finding out more information about the city and the revolutionaries. One big surprise was Cade and his story about how Napoleon V had so cruelly treated him, killing his squad, crippling him, and laughing at his face; that had soured him slightly on joining the French Revolution - slightly, as he didn't know Napoleon V's side of the story. Right now, however, he was keeping a low profile, trying to acquire and expand holdings all across the Bayou Wasteland, starting with his apartment/warehouse in the trading outpost, a trading outpost that seemed to be engulfed in a riot that had spread from the Proix District.
His first thoughts were that he was not ready to be involved in the Civil War yet, not when he was uncertain of the choices he can make. But, it seemed as though fate decided to be an asshole and make his choices for him. Well, he won't let it; he was going to stall for time and information.
Looking around, he can see sixteen fighters and five fellow traders, all of whom knew how to hold a gun. And, while he himself wasn't the best shot, every hand counted. Turning to a trader about his age, the young man told her:
"Raise the Red Cross Flag up to the top of the warehouse. As for me..." Par took a Megaphone, then gestured to six fighters to accompany him; best safety in numbers. He then went out to the warehouse's stoop, then shouted to the Megaphone:
"We are converting this warehouse into a field hospital! Repeat - we are converting this warehouse into a field hospital! Anyone innocent who's injured, any civilian, trader, or even merc who hasn't pledged allegiance to a faction yet, is welcome to recieve treatment for their injuries, free of charge!"
There; it would get the ire of the Order, but not so much that he was irrevocably unable to take a job with them. It would also earn the ire of the Revolution, but perhaps also their admiration...

Also, new character! Par Rapids - accepted him through PM and offsite.
Yep, I'm back in the Fallout biz!
Approved by Ordure offsite.
NAME - Paradise 'Par' Rapids
AGE - 19
GENDER - Male
APPEARANCE -
PERSONALITY - Par looks like someone motivated to make a quick buck, and most of the time, that much is true. He likes bottlecaps/water whatever you can pay him, and is often out for the most profitable trade deals. He also likes sex (dude or gal, it doesn't really matter), and isn't above using it to gain an advantage. But, underneath it all, there is a dedicated, somewhat idealistic person who genuinely believes in the power of free and fair - emphasis on fair - trade and genuinely honest living, a power that, he believes, can rebuild civilization in a better form.
FACTION - Custom Faction: The Guild of Free and Fair Trade.
Originating from further North, from a Vault made up of Businesspeople, Economists, Stock Market Traders and Bankers, The Guild of Free and Fair Trade had the most unfair origins; it was originally a rebellion by the youth of that unknown Vault against the establishment held by their parents, an establishment that, when the Vault's doors opened to the Wasteland, planned to exploit it for all that it was worth. Led by Arthur and Miranda Rapids, Par's Parents, this movement managed to win or buy power from their predecessors, coming out to the Wasteland as Warrior-Traders with a smidgen of 'Scholar', setting up markets, exchanging goods, and adapting to the local economic situation, shifting to the use of caps with shimmersilk rapidity.
As part of their 'free and fair' program, Arthur and Miranda also set up schools, gunsmithies, and workshops with better conditions than the ones that already existed, moving south as they did so. And civilization went with them.
However, as part of an attempt to move to Orleans itself, Arthur and Miranda, as well as their trading expedition, were killed by soldiers of the Orleans Order, who were Anti-trade then, leaving their son, Paradise 'Par' Rapids, as leader of the organization. And it falls upon his shoulders to either take advantage of the Orleans Order's change of heart, or avenge his parents...
BIOGRAPHY - Born in Vault 122, the Economics Vault, Par was educated early and broadly, with his main interests being History and Economics. Par was also a good tinker with technology, his specialty being Solar, Wind, and other Renewable Energy equipment. He began accompanying the other traders at 16, and leading trading missions at 17, and at 18, he inherited the Guild of Free and Fair Trade (see above). His first move? See if the New King of Orleans really had changed his mind about trading with others. Second move would be to try and see if avenging his parents won't cause too much collateral damage.
Of course, such a young leader would not be completely unopposed, even in a progressive organization such as the Guild. Most of his would-be subordinates, including his Uncles, had a stance of 'letting him do what he wants for now, but should the kid flub up, the Guild is theirs'. This was bad, because the original ideals of the Guild were starting to fall by the wayside, though not yet enough to cause serious complaint.
So Par mustered an expedition composed of experienced and new traders and fighters, leaving only the minimum to guard his holdings in the north. And lo! He found that the New King was genuine. Nevertheless, he genuinely didn't know if the favorable trade climate justified allowing his parents to go unavenged. At the same time, however, revenge might cause a civil war that would destroy Orleans, and he could not allow such a market to be destroyed, nor can he allow the deaths of countless civilians on his concsience.
Complicating the decision was the rumors that the new leader of the French Revolution, Napoleon V, was a woman, a beautiful, vivacious woman at that. Perhaps arrangements can be made with her...

@Gurren1, On second thought, I'm really sorry about this, but a friend, LordCoake, invited me to join another Fallout Game he's part of, meaning I won't be able to join Grand Banks.
<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>
Mine. In US the Football Championship is going on and I am going out with friends.
All right. I'll PM you a faction idea of my own, then.
@Gurren1, My end, or yours'?
@Ikthaias, Can we still stay friends, though?
@Ikthaias, Sorry for the delay, and Steam can be used on Mobile, but yeah, I get ya.
