Rites of Passage

Thovren Struggled under the weight of the ore sack he was carrying. Ususally the blacksmith purchased the ore he needed from the caravans. And he had enough to last a couple weeks unless a particualrly large order needed to be filled. But the Milita didn't wear much pure metal armour. Generally the only solid iron or steel objects were the weapons they carried. Leather breastplates and bracers served just fine for what they needed. But there were some days when a little more was needed.
Gowran didn't say what he needed this extra ore for right in the middle of the day. He needed someone to help carry it back with him. Thovren spent the better part of his afternoon Trudging to the only location he knew of in the forest to contain iron ore. Beside the burly blacksmith. He foolishly assumed at first he was coming along as protection for Gowran from wolves or forest predators. But as he heard the mining pick stop ringing and his name being called his heart dropped.
The village didn't have a mine but luckily they didn't have to draw on the vein to often so there was still plenty visible on the surface lair. And it wasn't TOO far away. But still. Thovren wasn't weak. He kept himself in good shape for someone his age especially. He took his duties in the militia seriously and trained as often as he could. But Gowran's sack was easily twice the size of his own and the burly man walked leisurely with it slung over his back to his small smithy. Whistling all the while. Thovren didn't mind helping the blacksmith from time to time. He preferred it to working the farm. And he hoped to pick up a few small tricks from time to time about casting his own bolt heads.
As the sun started to set at the end if the day Thovren set the heavy sack down beside Gowran's and tried not to lean over with his hands on his knees and gasp for air. Even so his breath was laboured from the arduous hike. He turned to leave, thinking his duty was done when he heard his name called again by the familiar gruff voice. “EH boy! The ore's no good until we smelt it.” Thovren held back a grumble and turned back into the smithy to help pour some of the ore into the furnace to smelt down over night.

so we can just post with our characters doing whatever they want?

I was starting to wonder if it would be ready today

Fallout UK.

Well vault-tec was an American company. More than likely the rest of the world didn't have vaults anywhere close to that. But London being London most likely had various bomb shelters left over from WW2 and seeing has in fallout lore the threat of nuclear war was becoming so real that the government probably saw fit to expand on those bunker, reinforce, build more, etc. Coupled with the extensive subway system I think it can be worked out.

I think we should focus on life existing within the underground. Have the surface like an irratiated no-go zone. Small groups go up to hunt for supplies but they always go back down because the air on the surface is to polluted/ acid rain is frequent/ mutants etc. I think if we are limited to short term excersions on the surface it makes it just that much more interesting when we are forced to stay up there longer for whatever tragic and life threatening reason.

Canada was still commonwealth at the time of the US invasion.

I'm trying to picture what the post apocalyptic version of the famed English fox hunt would look like now?

Perhaps if you put more details and explanation as to what this RP is about instead of just "It's about cultures built around elements. Oh and it's medieval, fantasy, with armies and monsters"Explain what these cultures are. Are they advanced or primitive? How do you display politics in your RP (since there are armies and leaders)? What are the defining characteristics of each element, and how do the people under respective elements behave?You can't expect people to declare interest over something they don't know that much about. I'm not bashing you or anything. I'm just saying that some more information about the RP is needed for people to decide if it's interesting or not. Fantasy and Elements are so common and cliche that you need to put an original spin on it so it doesn't get boring, .

eh. Why the hell not. I'll take a stab and see what I can come up with.
