My pleasure, but yes it all comes as a set due to it's power source, structure, and needed movement-assisted systems and hydraulics. The only thing not actually needed(that is optional for the set) is the Helmet. You can wear power armor without the protection and use of the helmet, but why would you waste the time in protecting your entire body, except the head? XD
Actually, the way power armor works isn't capable for what you are asking. As power is a "movement-assisted" armor and requires the entire suit be there for powered use. The NCR even have what is called "NCR Salvaged Power Armor" which has less functionality and restricted movement due to it's salvaged construction. I would say something simple, either Leather or a simple metal armor set. Anything mid tier really, as the spectrum is very wide for high-tier/power-tier armors. That and the likely hood of getting Power Armor in this setting of the Fallout Universe will be more unlikely then the others, though it may pop up at some point in time much later.
Ok, so.. I must unfortunately reveal my hand to the table Byrum. The VATS system you want to use in a scope is nothing more then an Anatomy Scanning system in lore used only in Pip-Boy/Pip-Girl Technology. Secondly, there aren't "small" binoculars like you are wanting, as all nodes or references to zoom optics are either large Binoculars of the fifties, or large Rifle scopes. The only other optic shown with any capability is the Laser Rifle Scope, but it is said to literally only work while mounted to a Laser Rifle.
In short, and to be briefly honest, if you want honed, long-range optics, use Binoculars or your rifle's scope. As well to mention, your scope cannot have a VATS system. You are still very much welcome to join, but with either different gear, or another character archetype. I mean, we agreed to allow you to keep what is essentially Black Ranger armor(which is among some of the best armor) right off the start, that is a highly generous note considering aspects of OP nature or overly-equipped characters for early Survival-based rps.

I only have a quick second to post, so I am going to note- Cars never Hovered in Fallout.
As for the rest of it, I will be on in about an hour, and I will talk with you on the rest of it when I get back.

Helmet- The Helmet is coming along, but here is the thing. Tech-based helmets, such as Power Armor Helmets and the NCR Ranger Helmets aren't equip with zoom lenses and such. It isn't as easy as just plugging Binocular optics into them and zooming around. It is both do to Fallout's History concept(I.e. 50's generation plunged into nuclear war then having to rebuild in the futuristic wasteland after groups like the Enclave try to reclaim it with advanced Nuclear tech.) and world assembly. Examples of advanced Helmets are the NCR Ranger's Helmets, with come equipped with Night Vision, but it doesn't zoom or pin-point anything, or do any of the extra functions. It simply makes the lens of the helmet see in the dark. A helmet in the Fallout universe isn't as equip as you might think my friend.
Scope- There are Night Vision Scopes, though there is no case in which Thermal vision has been introduced in a major way, this both for aesthetic and feel of the Universe. The developers intentionally left out the prosperity of Thermal vision.
Rope Darts- Rope Darts are real, yes, but however they are a thrown weapon, and not all that grand in functionality to be honest. They were mostly for restraining active hostiles by throwing them into flesh and destabilizing the unit or by using martial arts(in a rather flashy and un-realistic manner) to wrap-up or tie down the target. Your suggestion of "crossing gaps" wouldn't be possible as they are simply rope with a small dirk on the end of them. There won't be trees and such to throw them into, it is rock, sand, dirt, and metal in the Mojave.
Boots- There is in no way, shape, or form the type of technology you are talking about, and honestly I am happy for that matter in this universe. I dislike the concept, it is another type of "master key" where it can be pulled out in any situation to negate certain aspects of writing. Boots are Boots my friend, whether made of cloth, leather, or Metal, there is no repulsor tech in Fallout. Boots are made for walking.

Ok, I am going to be honest and straightforward... You tried to make Boba Fett in Fallout. Now, I don't want this to come off rude, because I can understand WHY you would want to do this, people have their very favorite archetypes and such, but the gadgetry in this character is pushing the envelope in too many areas. I shall address them with lore and facts, right now. ^^
"SMART" technology- Smart technology as you are calling it is really the big item on the menu to deal with today. A lot of the concepts you have with your Helmet and Scope, and Whipcord are interesting, but in essence are not of the Fallout design. The most advanced technology in the Fallout Universe is Enclave and Vault-Tec power armor. MK ii and Tesla armor don't have some of the advanced features you are wanting. The only instance in which a suit of Power Armor has "SMART" capabilities(as we are calling them for the moment) is the Prototype Medic Power Armor. This is a suit of Prototype T-51 B Power armor with the US Army Colors and a special system inside. It has a robotic voice and the ability to inject it's wearer with Med-X as long as the wearer supplies the injectors of the suit. It's voice mechanic isn't an AI and follows simply rallying words and inspirational battle cries when ever the wearer takes damage. So, over all the "SMART" capabilities of the items is a bit too much of a stretch outside the Fallout Universe.
That seconds for the Repulsor Boots, which are an even larger leap outside the safety of the Fallout Universe. Overall my friend, I can give you some advice..
If you want a "SMART" scope, just have binoculars in your pack, they can be zoomed in as well. Your melee gauntlets aren't too far fetched for the universe, just make them with Fallout's design on Bladed Gauntlets and you will be fine. As for the rest of it, I wouldn't recommend using those items in Fallout Rps who try to keep the feel, design, and lore in tact.

You can just as much ask me anything too. I am still here, and I am still very knowledgeable. Yes, I have taken a day or two off from writing to cope with the issue, but I am back and I am finishing up my CS right now. It should be done within a few hours. I like to make sure I have everything pin-point in my CS details to make sure I don't corrupt or break lore points or mechanics. .
Unfortunately... No. As of a few hours ago, my beloved Boxer was put down. The Cancer had been so aggressive that it wasn't even visible or detectable, and then all of a sudden exploded through his system. It was too far gone to be removed, and there was no other option then to put him to rest.
Of course, I have minimal work left to do on, just been swamped in family matters, with my dog having Cancer and everything.
Ok, so I am fed up, shall we go ahead with us three only? Or try to spam the Interest Check with non-stop awareness posts, bumps, and inspiring words?
