History Roleplay / Thewastes

->''"The only dedicated VideoGame/{{Fallout}} RP forum that ain't a bunch of commie scum."''

%%* AfterTheEnd: It is a Fallout RP Site, after all.

** Jackal. He graduated with an Engineering [=PhD=] back in Ireland. Considering that most people can't even read in the Fallout timeline, this makes him possibly one of the most educated, if the only, PC on the site.

* RayGun: Most, if not all, energy weapons, although the Tesla weapons get special mention. The various energy weapons fall into several different subtypes of ray gun. Also, the term "ray gun" is in this case accurate, as the Fallout universe is based off of the 1950s [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture World of Tomorrow]].

* PreacherMan: Father [[FanNickname "The Padre"]] Gerade, former leader of Bucket Town.

** Orion as he knows both how to read and write as well as having the foresight to see past the next two steps. Although admittedly he's more of a SmartGuy than a Bookworm.

%%* EverythingIsBigInTexas: The majority of Rping takes place in East Texas.

* BadAssGrandpa: The Ghouls on site fit this trope pretty well considering they are over two hundred years old and still kick ass on a daily basis.

The Wastes contains examples of:

** Subverted when another member saw and even defended a town from a Signback onslaught.
* AfterTheEnd: It is a Fallout RP Site, after all.

* BadassBookworm: Jackal, again. He graduated with an Engineering P.Hd back in Ireland. Considering that most people can't even read in the Fallout timeline, this makes him possibly one of the most educated, if the only, PC on the site.
** Technically Orion could probably be considered this as he knows both how to read and write as well as having the foresight to see past the next two steps. Although admittedly he's more of a SmartGuy than a Bookworm.

* BFG: Pretty much any automatic big gun from Tier 2 up, but especially the big guns from Tiers 4, 5, and 6.

* BloodKnight: The Swampers are all this trope.

* CompleteImmortality: The Ghouls on site.
* DeepSouth: Where it's based and where mostly-all of the characters come from.
* {{Everyone Meets Everyone}} Normally happens during an RP in which characters don't know each other or haven't met formally.

* EverythingIsBigInTexas: The majority of Rping takes place in East Texas.

* FieryRedhead: Pick one. There are at least three (Mariah, Maggie, and more)
* FrontierDoctor: Doc Nance, in Bucket Town. Often contending with low supplies, and is now dealing with some strange heart disease.

* IntrepidMerchant: Reginald Shepherd.
* KilledOffForReal: Judas Sanford, Eddy Gray, Charles Zaytsev, Josef O'Hare, Marty Gralow, Benjamin G. Brohm, Reginald Shepherd, Ulic, Ellis Colbeck, Zeke Harris, Rob Garrett.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Several. Notably, Ellis Colbeck, Caleb Wolff, and Ulic, along with Glides-On-Ruin
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: During events, the group of [=PCs=] that forms to participate will almost inevitably be this.

-->'''Jackal''': Welcome to the Anarchist's Kitchen
-->'''Ellis (In thought mode)''': Huh. No food here, or a barefoot women in here. Odd.\\

* TheWestern: A very heavy influence on the site. You'll spot a Western Trope in almost every RP.

* WretchedHive: Bucket Town post-revolution, the Crag, even Crescent Top once you look below the surface.

* Falkenstein Castle came under siege by a power-hungry warload and PCs could either join the attacking slaver army of Gaston or join the defenders of the well-meaning Ghoul King Timothy. The defenders held the fort (and were given knighthoods for their aid). But King Timothy was killed during the battle, leading to the Kingdom being re-established as a republic.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: During events, the group of PCs that forms to participate will almost inevitably be this.

* PatrioticFervor: The Neo-Patriots, an ultra-extremist group who feel that the USA is still the greatest country in the world. Typically they don't know anything about the "real" USA before the war and most of their knowledge is simple speculation. Albeit, [[YouFailHistoryForever extremely wrong]] speculation. This can lead to some rather humorous conversations about how [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington George]] [[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln Lincoln]] crossed the Mississippi River to take back [[UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco San Francisco]], Illinois from the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]]

* A group of PC's was sent to investigate a strange radio signal, which led them to an airport contested by three factions: an army of mutants, a technologically powerful secret society and an army of hillbillies. Long story short: a nuclear explosion destroyed the mutants and the secret society.

* A ship captain hired many player characters to help her attack a pirate fleet blockading the ports of Crescent Top. The blockade was broken and those player characters were hailed as heroes, though who hired the pirates remains a mystery.

A small list of some of the sites important history.

The Wastes is set in the post apocalyptic DeepSouth, mostly East Texas, though it is expanding quite a bit. Dealing with Raiders, Slavers, and all sorts of scum and beasts; our heroes (That would be you. [[VillainProtagonist Or not.]]) get to deal with the various other troubles that plague the world that they live in. Currently, most of the characters on the site are relativity low-level (Level 7 is the all time record, and the highest currently active is level 6.) But, most things are decided via skill of writing rather then actual level.

* Small amount of work is done to the town, such as scavenging and building up the town. Also done by the PC's.

* Siege of Falkenstein Castle: PCs could either join the attacking slaver army of Gaston or join the defenders of the well-meaning King Timothy. The defenders held the fort, though King Timothy was killed during the battle.
