Bio

I got into Roleplaying, er more specifically Post by Post Roleplaying around, I think it was four years ago? It feels much longer than that. My good friend whose now far too busy in college introduced me. He wanted by make a Mass Effect RP for his younger brother, or Cousin, something along those line. The games series was far to mature for someone of his age but he felt he could make a family friendly RP. And while that never panned out, I was hooked. Fast forward to the present day and I'm an avid RP and casual writer. I mainly prefer Fallout RPs, and am working on my own which will take place in the fictional Lore of Alaska. But it's far from ready. Between my laziness and my workload of various RPs and Videogames I am often rather busy. Yet I always find myself exceptionally bored. So I like contemplating Philosophical Conundrums.

I'm still setting up for Eva's big reveal. So it'll be a big televised event. But it might be a while until I'm able to get enough written out before I reach that point. And after that Eva will be known.
So I'm currently at work but I was thinking of a few character types. One a Raider. Another a Post Apocalypse Knight with Shield and Laser Scatter Gun, or laser shotgun. And the last idea was an Android on the run from the Institute. I'll decide here and write up a CS here later.
So what's the goal if any to the RP, or is it just to survive?
@Thantos Okay well it'd be difficult to think of a character without a location in mind, I could but the location could drastically change what I have in mind. I'll keep an eye on this and see where it goes.
Interesting, so this is a Fallout RP, that isn't following cannon as closely as other RPs. Where does this take place?
By the way, if anyone wants to use Dr. Coil as an excuse to have some upgraded firepower go ahead, just keep in mind no one has ever seen him in person that's why he sends his assistant.
Wow! Arthur has a lot of lines for this post, didn't realize he did most of the talking. Oh well he's beginning to bring Eva into her own. But what's this!? Dr. Coil is a Villain inventor for hire! Oh no think of the chaos that could create, and tech to be bought. Someone will need to put a stop to that, eventually that is. I'm just glad I finally got a post up.
Eva "Mouse" Walsh

The House was quieter tonight Aunt Briley was in the Kitchen washing the dishes listening to her favorite show and Arthur was off getting ready for tonight’s training session. But little did Eva know elsewhere evil plotted..

A man walked heavily over a wood floor as he stopped at a table that had numerous wires and parts laying scattered about. “Dr. Coil. The order has been delivered Colonel Coconut sends his regards over your craftsmanship. And with the Weather Box delivered and his Shark Control band he says he’ll create a twister of unimaginable destruction in the Hawaiian Islands.

Dr. Coil stood hunched over a specialized ray gun partially completed.”Good good, with that we’re nearly at our goal. Soon we’ll be able to afford the last pieces to my Ultimate Death Ray! As soon as I finish this gun for the next customer. Dual heat and cold blasts, bah! Just keep it simple.”

“Well he pays well at least. The suit he ordered ready already.”

Dr. Coil focused entirely on the complex soldering but he gave a quick nod. The man pulled up a steel case large enough for the bulky suit.

Back at Aunt Briley’s house.. “Eva! Lights out! You better be in bed or I swear I’ll ship you off.”

Eva laid on her sheets as Arthur floated in. “You should wear bottoms. Mere undergarments won’t keep you warm at night.”

Let’s just get started.” Eva said being short as she pulled the covers over herself, and laid back in her pillow. As she drifted off to sleep a scene was set up hand picked from one of Arthur’s memories a training yard one she had seen before as Arthur instructed her these past few months. She stood before a wooden soldier one that resembled a dummy but could walk and perform fine motor skills. It wore a bucket for a helmet and Eva took her stance raising Excalibur with both her hands.

Watch your footing! Your feet are too close keep low and spread your knees apart for balance. To close and you’ll fall when charged.”

The dummy swung its sword with precision as Arthur yelled out. “Side step! And counter!”

Eva doged slightly to the side and prepared to strike as the dummy changed the direction on the blade throwing her off balance and flat on her ass. “What did I say about your footing!” Eva merely mumbled as she stood up and took her stance again.

Arthur circled round as Eva and the dummy came to blows watching and criticising every misstep she took. “Excalibur is a Bastard sword! You have options a sword doesn’t, but remember unlike a traditional longsword a bastard sword has a shorter grip, your small hands may allow you some extra freedom in the style of your attack but you are still limited in the way you can twist your joints.”

The dummy charged Eva bringing it’s shield down to cover its sword hand as it striked. “Parry and Riposte!” Arthur yelled out. Eva had let the dummy’s blade slide down against her sword and cut the torso of the dummy as it fell over limp. Arthur floated over and looked pleased through his ghastly visage. “It’s getting late, you’ll need to properly sleep for tomorrow. We’ll ramp up training a little two on one this time. Remember your footwork especially when dogging.”

Next week on wednesday there’ll be a funeral for Julius, Leon and Shari will follow a few weeks after that. I need to find who did this, so their souls can rest.” Eva said as though the burden for their deaths rested solely on her shoulders.

Arthur spoke looking directly into her eyes. “In due time, rushing into things now will spell a quick death for you. The dead are just that dead, we hold little influence on the world of the living try not to let their deaths linger over you too long.”

And with that Arthur left her dream and Eva angry and impatient already as it was would soon decide to move regardless of Arthur’s blessing.
@Dinh AaronMk What if there isn't much pre-planning and the RPers can't decide upon a fixed outcome? We all want to be the winners but we all can't win. Then say a ruleset for war might be able to break the tie?
So me and a group of guys on another forum were discussing how to make a good ruleset for a Fallout RP and some ideas were tossed around one was to use the SPECIAL system like so.

S = Manpower in War, Population in Peacetime

P = How they adapt to an ever changing battlefield in War, Value of Education in Peace

E = How long of a campaign they can wage until they exhaust their resources in War, Industry in Peace

C = How well the commanders inspire their troops in War, how they are viewed by others in Peace

I = Ability to invent and implement tactics in War, general Scientific proclivity in Peace

A = How well they can move across varied terrain carrying equipment and supplies, adaptability in Peace

L = The chances of getting favorable or unfavorable results in either

But for the sake of general discussion how does one make a good system for war that even casuals would appreciate without driving too many members away and what's the validity of the proposed above system?
