Fallout RP Interest Thread

I'd like to run or co-run a free form Fallout RP.

Character creation will follow the Pn P rules as far as S.P.E.C.I.A.L and Tag Skills but the game will not follow the Pn P rules, it's just to get a character that follows the Fallout world better and gives players a better idea on how to interact with people. Also, this will stop people creating invincible characters.

Example: A character with Intelligence less than 3 is mentally crippled, and at Intelligence 1 can only interact with grunts and mumbles.

Also, a character with Charisma at 7 or above will be able to pull of great speeches and good lies, but less than 5 and it becomes a more difficult task.

It just adds in more fun if you RP believably.

Character creation should be as follows:

Name:

Gender:

Race: For sake of balance, only Humans, Ghouls or Super Mutants.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L: Look here for the Max and Min stats for each race.

Tag Skills: Here you can find the skills to Tag. Pick 3, they are just for aesthetics really but will help when RP'ing.

Bio: Introduce your character here. Want a naive Vault Dweller who has just entered the wasteland? Great. Want a Ghoul who lived through the war and hates everyone? Even better! Have fun with this.

Once there are enough people interested I will come up with a scenario to give it a kick start and link to the post here.

As I mentioned at the start of the post I may need someone to help run this with me as I may be off-line for large amounts of time so I'd appreciate a volunteer.

Alright, here I go.

Name: The Mighty Steve

Gender: Male

Race: Super Mutant (Alpha)

S.P.E.C.I.A.L: Strength 13, Perception 8, Endurance 10, Charisma 1, Intelligence 3, Agility 2, Luck 1.

Tag Skills: Unarmed, Melee Weapons, Big Guns

Bio: Steve is... special. Even by Super Mutant standards, Steve is considered a violent idiot, unfit to lead as an Alpha. Thusly, he was banished from his particular group of Mutants. No other would accept him, seeing as Steve took any oppurtunity to smash things, whether or not it was helpful. Now, Steve wanders the wastes, looking for someone to take him in.

That's good. Accepted.

This RP needs at least 3 PC's, or a character from each race, I'll provide NPC's whenever necessary.

Not a lot of interest at the moment it seems, is it because it's based on a western RPG?

Anyway, here are more details.

The plan is to kick the story off in the classic way of a vault opening and the Vault Dwellers enter the wasteland. There needs to be at least 1 of each race to have them converge at one point eventually and discover there is more going on in the wastes than previously thought.

Setting and time period I haven't thought of yet, though I don't plan on this to fit perfectly into the timeline. I'd like it to run more closely alongside New Vegas or Fallout 1, since I prefer the story line to those games.

Or, I may start it in another location that hasn't bee explored yet, such as New York or somewhere overseas.

EDIT:

Due to certain circumstances(Namely me finding an RP which seems rather interesting) I won't be joining this RP. But just in case anybody wants to use the character I made, I'll leave this here.

Name: Deputy Brown

Gender: Male

Race: Ghoul

S.P.E.C.I.A.L:

  • Strength 4
  • Perception 10
  • Endurance 10
  • Charisma 3
  • Intelligence 6
  • Agility 8
  • Luck 10

Tag Skills: Small Guns, Repair, and First Aid.

Bio: Deputy Brown was, as the name he refers to himself by suggests, a Deputy in the police force before the bombs dropped. These days, he mostly just wanders aimlessly, shooting the occasional criminal.

Okay, Lemme toss in my 2 cents here

Name: Hammilton Macon "Bacon"

Gender: Male

Race: Human

SPECIAL

S: 8 P: 4 E: 7 C: 7 I: 5 A: 4 L: 5

Tag Skills: Big Guns, Energy Weapons, Repair

Bio: Bacon was a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin in California. A natural leader, he, and the squad of 5 he lead, were never the most devout in following the teachings of codex. After a controversial order to fire on a town using energy weapons to fight off raiders, Bacon and his squad decided to leave the radical chapter. Turns out, it was the right idea, because the NCR destroyed that chapter in a battle two days later. The squad went their seperate ways after that, with only one other following Bacon in his journey to the East Coast, which he heard had a more Samaritarian philosophy. His only companion fell in battle a month later, and he carries her Power Armor in hopes he may one day lead another squad.

Here we go...

Name: Jordan

Gender: Male

Race: Human

S.P.E.C.I.A.L: Strength: 7 Perception: 6 Endurance: 4 Charisma: 2 Intellegence: 5 Agility: 8 Luck: 3

Tag Skills: Small guns, Sneak, Steal

Bio: A former senior initiate in the Brotherhood of Steel, Jordan was proving a helpful asset to the BOS until he was captured by raiders that he was spying on. He was held captive and tortured for almost a month, damaging his mind and making him unstable. He was sold to slavers after a certain time. He was moved all around the wasteland, until he was freed by a stranger. He then set to traveling the wastes, doing many jobs. He was a pickpocket during most of this time, until finally getting together some good equipment, upon which he became a mercenary.

Everybody so far has made a male character. What do I do, do I make a male or female B o S scribe?

Scratch that, I'm gonna make a female so I can haz that power armor.

Name: Scribe Tyra Michaels. Species:Human Sex: Female Age:26 Faction: The Brotherhood of Steel.

Stats: STR 7 PER 6 END 5 CHA 7 INT 9 AGI 6 LCK 5 (Da Rules say Point Buy starts from 1 wink)

Tag Skills: Science. Repair. Unarmored.

Bio: Tyra's life was simple: She grew up BOS, and she's proud of it. She was chosen to be a scribe rather than a Paladin. She didn't complain, after all, she was better suited to be a mechanic.

She's been deciphering old data and fixing machinery for ages as an Initiate. Eventually, she was asked to prove her worth to the Brotherhood with a historical, technical or scientific discovery. She has wandered the wasteland ever since: She's found stuff, but nothing enough to kick-start her career as a prestigious scribe.

Description: Tyra is a young, African-American woman. She's somewhat short and has a few extra pounds. Still, she's busty and curvy. She wears her (dyed purple) hair in a raider-type mohawk. She also wears Nerd Glasses.

Not a fan of going undercover, she walks around openly in Scribe garb. Her Weapon Of Choice (well, weapons) are an old, reliable, bolt action hunting rifle and a massive ballistic fist
