Life In The Vault Character

Name: Elizabeth Thurston III

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Appearance: Her

Personality/Traits:

- Strength (10): The only thing really going for her, she is incredibly strong, hefting large boxes and heavy objects day in and day out has basically made her into a fork truck. This comes in handy when picking something heavy up or swinging her hammer.
- Perception (5): She's got normal hearing and sight but isn't perceptive enough pick out hidden emotions from voice or posture. If someone were sad or happy and was trying to hide it, she'd be oblivious.
- Endurance (8): Both physical and mental, her body learned to take a lot of hits since she began working in maintenance, often acting as impromptu pest control by crawling into ducts and crawl spaces to dispatch creatures with her hammer; she also has the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, it may not be on something useful but she can look at a broken thing for hours on end and eventually come to a conclusion on fixing it.
- Charisma (3): Though she likes the company of other people and enjoys the chance to have a conversation, she's not very socially adept, coming off as awkward and speaking slowly and thoughtfully, due to a from-birth speech impediment. She spends a lot of time on her lonesome because people find that she's just too much hassle to try and talk to, when someone does approach her to talk she becomes overly excited and mixed with her speech problems, it comes off as awkward and sometimes off putting.
- Intelligence (4): She was never the smartest girl in school, having difficulties learning as easily as most because she never participated on account of her speech impediment, she did however get her way into the maintenance department (due to her parents bring former members) but they gave her a token spot, moving around boxes and running messages up and down long maintenance shafts.
- Agility (6): In the guts of maintenance, there is a mess of wires and pipes, most of the pipes are very hot and a lot of the wire insulation has been chewed away by rats, so touching most surfaces is hazardous to one's health. She's learned to adapt to this and thus can move through the maze safely and swing her hammer at bugs/rats quite decent.
- Luck (4): Her luck has never been the best, having been born with a speech impediment it pretty much started from birth. She once had loving parents but they died in a gas leak incident, leaving her alone in the orphanage, literally alone because everyone else had moms and dads. Though she did carry with her their advice, and a lucky eight ball.

Occupation: Maintenance - Deputy Stock Administrator (A fake title to make her feel better, her job is to move boxes and be obedient)

Biography: Elizabeth was born to Faraday J. Thurston and Marie Clempt, both employees of maintenance, she was suppose to have a twin but her sibling was born stillborn. Her speech impediment was not apparent until she was 6, by this point she had not said a word but could understand what she was being told. She spoke her first words when she was 9, during a usual crying fit she had with her mother, she had been bullied a lot in school for not talking, upon hearing her daughter's voice her mother encouraged her to keep talking, hoping it would get better she would never know if it would. A few days later, Marie and Faraday were tasked to go down and investigate a gas leak, they never came back but what happened to them was sure. A spark had ignited the gas and the explosion shook the tunnel, the bodies were never found, most likely disintegrated by the blast. From then on she lived in the orphanage, which it really wasn't, it was a mattress they had so generously gave her in the school, they wouldn't let her stay in her old room because a new couple wanted to move into it. Despite being in a school most of her childhood, she learnt relatively little, her inability to speak properly making her too hesitant to ask questions and making her teacher not bothered enough to try and work with her. From then on difficulties only got worse until she took the G.O.A.T. She was pleased she got into maintenance but didn't know that she got in because she had no other place to be put. She lives in one of the rooms in maintenance now, a small cramped thing that must have once been a closet.

Done! Finally!
There! I posted! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW VASH?! ARE YOU HAPPY?!
Dorkface


The moment the parachute began to go out of control, Dorkface felt Nikola grab her from her little pocket on his chest. He didn't do it gently either, grabbing her torso and squeezing the air out of her lungs before hurling her out and away from him. For a moment she free fell, her little legs scrambling to find a purchase in the rushing air around her, she panicked, she screamed in her little head, she even tinkled in fear as she plummeted to what she assumed was going to be her untimely death. A small click sounded from behind her head, then she heard some springs and gears whirr within a small box attached to her back, she was suddenly and violently jerked to what she thought was a stop. She tremored with her eyes shut, she thought she was dead and dared not open her eyes to see what kind of afterlife she was living, it was starkly quiet but for the gentle sound of a slow breeze; except that the breeze wasn't the only thing she heard, it was a gentle whirr, a continuous shoomp, shoomp, shoomp. She dared a glance at the sound above her. To her suppose, spinning a few inches above her head, was a small set of 'Rotor-blades' she thought to herself in amazement, 'Nikola, you ingenious ba-' then it occurred to her, she couldn't see Nikola anywhere. As she looked around in panic, her slow decent brought her to the ground, she looked around, scanning for any sight of him but found nothing. She was about to scurry off and find him but was stopped when a hand gave her a gentle stroke, she flinched, rolling on her back to see the hand and the arm and then the body that it was attached to, coincidentally Dorkface was lying on the body. 'Cari! She can help me find Nikola!'

Nikola


Nikola watched in horror as his feet hit Cari square in the chest, he tried to lift them out of the way of her but it was no use. He watched her free fall down the side of the building and his guts felt watery, 'Did I kill Cari?' he never managed to answer himself. Moments later his body smashed through a large pane of glass, the glass turning into reflective shards as he sailed into the building. His body hit the floor, then bounced, then hit the floor again, the process repeating over and over as he was violently pounded against the shattered glass until he was jerked to a stop, his paracables taught as the rest of the chute was snagged on a scary looking piece of glass. Nikola had come to a stop on his back, facing the ceiling above him, for a moment he couldn't feel anything but bliss because he had survived the jump but then he was overcome with dread when he remembered throwing Dorkface away from him and kicking Cari off the roof; finally he felt immense pain. His side hurt like hell, he was certain that he had broken a few ribs and his arm hung limply at his side, most likely dislocated at the shoulder. Nikola staggered to his feet, his body awash with pain but he was alive, he stripped off his parachute harness and let the breeze whip up the chute and send it and the cables flying off; he reached for his radio to find a shattered, crunched piece of plastic at his hip, looks like he couldn't inform command of his brash actions. 'Now to get out of here and get those parts.' He looked around and found himself in a massive room occupied by cubicles, it appeared to have once been an office building but what didn't come to him as fast was the location of the elevator.

'But first lets find a way out.'
I've been moving my brother into his new flat so progress is gonna be slow but expect it within the week.
I don't want to fuck my sibling! It was merely an example!

I call this to a close.
So, as we all know, the U.S. Supreme Court recently legalized homosexual marriage nation wide. So a thought came to me, if two males or two females are allowed to get married on the basis of rights and equality, why can't say, a brother and a sister get married (hypothetical, I'm not into that stuff)? Aren't they equal too? Don't they have the right to get married because they love each other?

I'm not here to criticize or draw lines in the sand or anything, sorry if I'm insulting you but it's not my intention, it's an honest question with no malice behind it.
So I'm realizing that I'm a little late to the party, and should have signed up MUUCH earlier for this than I am now. As it is, everyone else has already moved ahead with this, and it would be hard for me to catch up.
So I'm bowing out of this one, though I'll most likely be lurking as I read what antics you folks get up to, best of luck to all of you


There's still plenty of time mate, go ahead and work on a NS.
Can I be like Britian and have more random islands in the middle of nowhere? Pweese?

Also, history. I assume most of it will be with Tervan and Novogrod, so for this reason I'd like you two's inputs on how past interactions may have played out.
<Snipped quote by Voltus_Ventus>

My nation certainly has it, but it's more of a secondary industry for me.


Where is your your NS anywho?

The chemicals which I'm going into are gonna be the products of the Harbor Process and The Chloralkali Industry. Expect detail in My NS soon.
Seeing as no one is particularly concentrating on the chemical industry, would anyone mind if Ventium had a key role in it?
