The Ace of Spades (A Fallout Roleplay)-(Always Open!)

Updated the rules to account for the ranks that you don't have to apply for.

The Ace of Spades (A Fallout Roleplay)-(Always Open!)

Chief Mercenary Alexei Ivanka

Full Name: Alexei Nat Ivanka

DOB: February 9th, 2243

Appearance Description (Optional): Alexei stands at 6 foot 2 and is in fantastic shape, frankly speaking. His hair is black, short, and bristly. His armor is a combination of metal armor, an armored coat, and some pieces scavenged from power armor. His accent is western American but it has the faintest hint of Russia. He often wears dusty goggles in combat and only takes them off during business meetings.

Rank: Chief Mercenary and Founder

Personality: Alexei is a man bred and born for warfare. From an early age, he was constantly fighting for survival. He has trouble making personal friends but is confident in formal and business situations, making him an effective commander and businessman. He has a unique hatred for Super Mutants and an unfortunate addiction to nicotine. He winds down by working on his motorcycle, something that many are certain he killed a whole village for. Whether that's true or not is irrelevant, he doesn't care. Despite all of this he has a very defined sense of justice and morals, all of which are displayed in the AoS Code.

Bio:

Alexei was born in 2243 to a woman named Ivanka, a tribal. He never knew his father and apparently neither did his mother, so she simply gave him her first name as Alexei's last name. As a young child, Alexei was constantly moving around the wastes, never staying in one place for more than a week. Alexei saw the destruction of the Super Mutants first hand and a deep seated hatred of their disgusting carnage began to develop. Alexei killed his first super mutant at age 10, desperately trying to protect his mother. It was more a matter of luck than raw skill or talent, as the mutant had simply ignored him and the rifle next to him. A shot to the back of the head that knocked Alexei off his feet and killed the mutant. After that, Ivanka left Alexei at a town in the NCR. Then she left. For reasons unknown to Alexei to this day, she left.

Alexei was broken and waited for his mother for years. But she never came back. He became a valued hunter and protector of the town, even at a young age but he left at 17 to take on the world. He traveled for years, doing jobs and taking names and making contacts. Through all that time he only ever got whispers of his mother and the occasional letter from her, wherever he was she always sent a letter on his birthday. As the years went by and he got more experienced, Alexei felt like he could be earning more money. So he found the Ace of Spades and began to grow it and start making jobs. Its been slow going, but soon a huge investor will have a job for the company that could put them on the map...

The position of Company Logistics Mercenary has been added, PM if interested. We'll need one before we start RP.

The Ace of Spades (A Fallout Roleplay)-(Always Open!)

Company resources have been added, these will change as missions are completed.

The Ace of Spades (A Fallout Roleplay)-(Always Open!)

@DrunkasaurusRex As far as individuals go, you bring your own gear and experience, you try out, you are accepted, you get paid. There might be some minor team tactics training but there's an agreement that you follow orders from your superiors in the code.

As the company does more jobs and gains more individuals with diverse skills, they're resources, such as vehicles, will increase. Right now, the company has a couple brahmin to move gear. I should put that in, good idea.

The Ace of Spades (A Fallout Roleplay)-(Always Open!)

War...War Never Changes. The atomic hell fires of man's own hubris razed the planet nearly 200 years ago. Since then, mankind has risen shakily from the ashes, coated in radiation and blood. Its been an unsteady climb to the return of civilization and man still has so far to go. The world is dangerous now, much more dangerous than before. Mutants, Slavers, Raiders, Whatever remains of the Enclave's bitter forces. The New California Republic tries hard as it can to protect its citizens but sometimes it is simply not enough. And sometimes the NCR's more...prolific citizens think the same way. That's where you come in. You are a member of the Ace of Spades Mercenary Company, a group of professional warriors and protectors with one common goal. Caps. The AoS is a new player in the nuclear wasteland and its up to the first members of this new band of soldiers of fortune to make a foothold in the west...

Greetings and welcome to the Ace of Spades! This is a roleplay heavily inspired by the fallout games, specifically Fallout 2. The year is 2270 and you are a member of the Ace of Spades Mercenary Company, a new and upcoming faction lead by a young but experienced warrior. This RP will operate by mission with brief passive sections in between for any development we want to do. For the most part, missions will be pretty balls to the wall action packed. It is my privilege and burden as the GM to create interesting missions and characters for the player characters to interact with. That being said, I have some rules and announcements of positions that need to be addressed.

IC and OOC Positions

IC

Company Logistics Mercenary: Another must have position with some authority. Having this rank will allow me to coordinate with you on the company's resources.

Rules

I'm pretty chill as a GM, but there are things I won't let slide and I might as well set them out in the interest check.

1. No characters under 17. This should go without saying, but this is gonna be a serious and dark RP and even having a character at 17 you'd better have a damn good sheet to go with it. Its not very plausible to be at the level of a professional warrior at only 17 years old.

2. Keep all sexual stuff in PMs. Fluff is fine, but if you want to get funky take it to PM. And if you want to include things like rape in the story, PM me and we'll see if we can do it tactfully and respectfully. But word of warning: I probably won't allow it.

3. Keep any drama out of OOC. We're all buds here, so keep any of your bullshit out of my thread.

4. Ranks Below Company Logistics Mercenary will be based on your sheet and the experience of your character. You may add an Authority Section to display your knowledge of tactics if you want a higher ranked character.

5. Post at least once a week.

That's pretty much it for rules, character stuff will be more case by case since each character is unique.

The Ace of Spades ( A Fallout Interest Check)

@hellrazor So was I, like I said, I'm leaving the skill level up to the players. I trust we're all mature enough not to overdo it and I prefer experience based skill anyways.

Also, congratulations to @DrunkasaurusRex, who is our new Co-GM!
