The format of the RP goes something like this:

I will be that rotting, smelling corpse laying at the left outside of vault 11 :

1. Name: unknown.
2. Gender: probably male.
2,5. Age: old.
3. Race: Kinda seems it was a human once.

I don't mind joining the game, but there is a problem: I'm a really lazy bum.
Just let me rot there in peace and pieces.
After all, you need a bit of decorum.

De ja Vu? (http://abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=17289)

I admit that it wasn't successful, but still...

[ianfreddie07]

I'm aware of that. This is like a revival. And we're borrowing RP elements from AB Apoc. :)

[The Bard]

How many players are we aiming for?

[ianfreddie07]

Actually, I dunno. :p

But then I think this forum game is a dud. :(

[dosraider]

Need more corpses? Decorum? Just say ......:)

Is that enough?

Yeah, that's fine. :)

Background: classified.

Skills: Ultimate computer tech, expert sharpshooter, stealthy, pilot.

[The Bard]

Yea, equipment should consist of items that actually do appear in Fallout games. Posting links on fallout wikia, like in previous post would also be good.

[ianfreddie07]

So, The Lemming's weaponry are the Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol, Frag Grenades, armor is Tesla Metal Armor, other stuff is a Pipboy 2000 :p, and the other 2... you have to choose something else. :)

[Tomekk]

Why is nearly everyone wearing the same armor as me? :(

[Simoneer]

Because people like it? :>

[ianfreddie07]

OK, the RP takes place in the year 2240, a year before the Chosen One came and changed the world. Settlements from Fallout 1 are also visitable, though they are a lot bigger and more advanced then in the game (pick anywhere you like in the world). You can choose to go alone (and maybe meet the other players coincidentally) or you can team up with an existing player. I'm already teamed up with Tomekk. Here's the Timeline (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline), BTW.

At the bar in Junktown (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Junktown)...

Ian: This Nuka-cola sure hits the spot.

Tomekk: Indeed. *burps*

Ian: So what was this New Reno popularity you've been talking about?

Tomekk: Well, I don't know if I should tell you more... :sneaky:

Ian: Aw come on, tell me, pleeeeease? :D

Tomekk: Let's just say I'm good with ladies. And I'll show you why...

*Tomekk walks up to a hot chick and tries his ladies man skills*

*SLAP!*

Ian: LOL Well that didn't go so well.

Tomekk: Don't rub it in. :notrust:

Ian: Anyway, you still remember that guy who hired us to hunt for deathclaws (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Deathclaw)?

Tomekk: Yeah. I think he offered about 5000 caps per head. But then that's fair, because it won't be easy.

Ian: Agreed. Hey, I'm going to place our stuff in the motel. You coming?

Tomekk: Nah, I think I'll stay here just a bit longer *Tomekk's eyes point to another hot chick*

Ian: Suit yourself. If you do get slapped again, be sure it's the other cheek. *carries both his and Tomekk's stuff back to the motel*

Tomekk: I won't get slapped again. :p

Now you guys post something. You can visit settlements from FALLOUT 1, too.

[aarne]

Name: Biggu
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: Blue eyes, brown hair to shoulders, muscular body and pair of red strings.
Equipment: Sharpened spear and alots of stimpacks
Background: son of the best scout and meele fighter out there.
Skills: 300% unarmed and 300% meele and 300% outdoorsman

*Joins the group and asks*
Need a scout?

[ianfreddie07]

Aarne, I think you'll need better equipment than a sharpened spear and a bunch of stimpacks.

Anyways:

Ian: Sorry, but I'm a pretty good scout myself. And we don't accept new members, I'm afraid :(

*Proceeds to carrying stuff to motel*

[Caudacus]

Name: Jules Reneer

Gender: Male

Race: Ghoul (that's right!), age 33 (old for a ghoul)

Appearance: Sallow, yellowish skin with consistency issues. Eyes are milky but shrewd, most of his fingernails are chewed or melted off. He has three hairs left on his otherwise runny brown scalp. He has a strangely infectious smile.

Equipment: 10mm submachine gun for when things get personal, Combat Shotgun in his brahma pack. Pinstripe suit with a reinforced vest beneath the jacket. A stylish fedora to hide his head. At least two grenades on hand for intimidation purposes. An antique Chinese sword found in a bunker worn at his hip.

Backstory: Jules was dismayed at first when radiation melted his flesh into a cruel parody of his once-devilish good looks, but he never lost his sense of humor or charismatic speaking voice. He quickly found that wastelanders in the DC area needed a friendly face to sell their scavenged goods to or buy necessary supplies, and the caps were good. So Jules became a staple around the rickety establishments of the wasteland, relying on his good charm and muscular bodyguard Mitchell to see him through.

Skills: Scrounger: Jules has uncanny luck finding valuable scavenged goods in bins and containers.
Caravan Savvy: Jules has worked in the desperate merchant business for several years, and he knows a good deal when he sees one.

[Caudacus]

*Two figures approach the cobbled-together town of Megaton. One of them, a ghoul in a suit, leads a mangy brahma to a patch of grass and ties it off to a rock with its leather leash.*

*Jules rubs his decaying hands together*

Jules: Alright, Mitchell. Sit yourself over there on that giant dead ant and try to look intelligent. But, you know, not TOO intelligent. That's my job.

*Jules adjusts his charcoal gray tie*

Mitchell: Right, Jules. I'll just be sitting on a stinky pile of dead bug. Fuck you. I'll stand.

Jules: Suit yourself. I'm just trying to add to your awe factor. People might think that you killed that ant. Might provide a sense of security.

*Mitchell kicks the dead ant and sets a hand on his assault rifle*

Mitchell: I am a sense of security.

*Jules feeds a rotten hunk of lizard meat to the left head of his brahma and digs around inside the pack it carries for something to sell*

Jules: Too true, friend. Here, what's the name of this pile of scrap anyways?

Mitchell: Megaton. Been to it before, they've got some asshole sheriff calls himself boss there. Caught me trying to lift some whisky from the little food stall, kicked me out for good. I ain't goin' in there.

*Jules pulls a decent hinting rifle out and sets it on a display stand at his feet, polishing the barrel as he does*

Jules: Well then, my taciturn comrade, you just stay out here in the clean desert air. Breathe deep and taste the freedom. I'll do any talking that needs to happen. Look, here comes a wanderer now. Ahoy, voyager! Can I interest you in a fine, state-of-the-art firearm?
