@Zeroth All of that is pretty much what I was thinking, though I do not want to worry to much about the actual numbers. Instead, when a player picks a skill, it will help overcome different challenges they will be faced with. They can take time to improve upon them from different areas of the RP stated in the first post, and eventually learn new ones through the same methods. (Aka they will have to earn them.)
@Letter Bee Please try and use more realistic art or images.
2: NCR is currently in control of Nevada. (But war still wages on between the factions.)
3: This is actually still a W.I.P. since I am trying to see how I can most effectively implement the system into the RP. My idea for the moment is to just have players pick those three main skills. As the RP progresses, there will be times where characters can talk to an NPC, learn from books, or practice on their own to improve a skill of their choice a little bit. This way, no points will be needed. I am, however, open to suggestions on how better to make this work.
4: Yes, Pip-Boys are allowed as equipment, but please just give a good reason as to why your character has one.
@Cuddles 1438 This is still open! You are more than welcomed to join.
In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he’d get to go home to his wife and the son he’d never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The World awaited Armageddon; instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power.
People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers. But then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream.
Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. China invaded Alaska, America annexed Canada, and the European Common wealth dissolved into quarreling, bickering nation states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.
In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the storm of world war would come again, and the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation after only two brief hours.
Though it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world, and from the ashes of nuclear devastation, mankind would struggle to rebuild and rise once more. – but war, war never changes."
Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time to check out my Fallout themed roleplay. As the title suggests, this Fallout story will begin in the North Western area of the United States of America, within a state known as Montana. This region has some of the most diverse landscapes in the United States, including huge mountains with gushing streams, vast plains, large meandering rivers, lush forests, big open skies, and so much more. Robert Redford once described it as, "A world with dew still on it, more touched by wonder and possibility than any I have since known." I felt that having the starting location for my Fallout RP located in such a region would provide a unique opportunity to tell a new story, away from the large cities and the coasts where most vaults seem to be located.
Do not be fooled by the serene setting of Montana though, the radiation from the last great war has now tainted the land, creating horrific abominations from what used to call the wilds home. Even the plant life seems to turn against those who may wander to far into the forests. Those who now call Montana home or find themselves within its territories, eventually end up fighting against old threats that have bled into the state from the mainland, or the new adversaries they have rarely or never seen before. The weather is also an issue, still being as viscous as the other threats one may find themselves up against.
Instead of starting inside of a Vault as a Vault Dweller like in almost all of the games, your character will be a member from a small community known as Whitlash, within the town of Butte, built upon the cities edge next to a large flowing river. Where they came from before being part of this community and how they joined it is up to you entirely. Were they from a Vault? Were they part of the NCR at one time? Brother Hood of Steel? The Enclave? A Raider outcast? Or were they always part of the community? The choice is yours. Please keep in mind that all the characters will currently be living inside of Whitlash, but they do not need to know each other that well.
Unlike some other roleplays, I am going to do my best to allow the players to explore and interact with the world around them freely. Feel like heading down a random road to see what is there? Go for it! Want to explore a random factory building you see in the distance? Why not? However, I will be forcing some story moments and interactions to keep the story aligned with where I would like it to go. You will also have choices to make at different moments throughout the roleplay, each of them having a number of different outcomes depending on what is chosen, just like the games.
Name:
Age: (Above 18 please.)
Sex:
Your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. / Skills: Please take a look at THIS link. The way this works is as follows. You will be proficient in three skills of your choosing at the start of the RP, which will help you overcome challenges based on what you have chosen. As the RP progresses, you will have chances to learn new skills for your character, and improve upon those you already have. An example would be coming to an electronically locked door, someone who has the Science skill could hack the door and get in better than someone who does not. Or someone with the explosives skill could just blow it open without having to worry about hurting themselves or someone else. It does not have that much of an effect on the RP, and will be used for some special narrative and descriptive events.
Appearance: Please use text, though you can attach an image afterwards if you would like.
Armor and Equipment: Please keep things realistic, I don't want to see people with power armor or anything high quality.
Weapons: Please keep things realistic, I don't want to see people with heavy weapons or anything high quality.
Personality:
History / How they came to be part of Whitlash:
Extras: Is there anything else you would like to share about your character?
1: Please be kind and respectful to your fellow RP'ers. 2: I am asking for more than one paragraph per post. 3: I am asking for a post, at least once a week. 4: If you have any suggestions, please ask here or on the Discord. 5: If you have any questions, please ask here or on the Discord. 6: If something comes up and you need to leave, please let me know. 7: Please post your character sheet here, once it is approved please post it in the character tab. 8: Once you are approved, I will link you the Discord in a PM. 9: No god modding, meta-gaming, Mary sue-ing, and so on. 10: If you can not post during the one week limit, please let me know.
I am currently looking for a few individuals who are very familiar with the Fallout lore from the video games and would be interested in helping me write up an RP based off of them / taking place in the universe.
