Fallout: the Vault Dwellers' Story - OOC

OK, I'll start up the "Incident" up soon so we can get moving along. I'll give you guys a chance to put up one more post so I don't have two posts in a row.
 
Sorry guys.

Moving house yet again, only finished moving five months ago.

I'll try to post as much as I can, but feel free to move the story ahead and have Grace stick with you two. She's probably not much use in the escape anyway.
 
OK I've got the post, describing the attack, up. To the vault dwellers, the lights start to flicker, but don't go out, alarms go off, and the robots (Mister Handys and Protectrons) begin to attack the inhabitants. There are not a lot of robots, but the sudden attack, combined with the super-computer's help, manage to deal a lot of damage and kill almost everyone.
 
PS I'm a huge Fallout fan, so I was perusing the IC and OOC thread. Cool so far!

Anyway, Avellan, I noticed your character, Robert Casdin, has a father named Laurence:

Lawrence Kasdan


That's some good shit! The perfect kinda joke for a Fallout game :cool:

Too bad I'm terribly inept at Online RP, or I'd throw in!
 
Name Roark Olivia Hughes
Gender Female
Age 20
Appearance Roark is a pretty young woman standing about 5'4 and weighing about 130lbs give or take a pound. She has naturally red hair and pretty fair skin. She has a large number of light freckles on her face and body. She has always wished that they weren't there but in a way they only compliment her. Her eyes are gray green but hold a certain fire to them, they are the gateway to how she is feeling.
Personality Fiery is a good way to sum her up. Stubborn is another. Roark has a hard time with authority and while she usually does what is best for the Vault she does not like being told what to do. Her mother is the sort of woman not to take a whole lot off of other people and of course Roark inherited this trait. Her father has been the strong silent sort and while she does not share this attributes with him, they get along very well.
History Roark's parents were good people, hardworking and honest, but they were the sort that often ended up having to work harder for the things they needed and wanted. Since she was old enough Roark has been working along side her father on keeping the people of the Vault healthy. She was very gifted when it came to medicine and her father taught her everything she knows. She is also a good cook, one can blame her mother for that, saying that no woman will ever get or keep a man with no skills in the kitchen. Roark has never had much time for play but that does not mean that she is antisocial. When she does get out to see the other dwellers she is friendly if a little competitive.
Equipment Vault 51 Jumpsuit, Pip-Boy, Pre-War money, First aid kit.
Notes Roark all cleaned up

Yes! We need another female character. I'll give you a review of what has happened so far.
 
Ok. So our characters are in Vault 51, which is located in the Central United States, near the city of Denver Colorado. Not much has really happened, our characters walked around and met each other. My guy lead them to the Vault's entrance which did little to affect them. Then we went back to our lives.

Right now, the Vault's supercomputer is malfunctioning and the Vault's security systems, the Protectrons and the turrets, are attacking the vault dwellers.
 
Coolie, I read it all last night and I'm excited. I'm just trying to figure out where to start her...
 
the only thing that made me raise my eyebrow is the whole toolbelt thing...Since my character is all about tinkering with mechanical/electrical things. Sorta makes my skills a little less usefull

Oh I didn't even notice that... crap I thought I had done good and been original... Curses... I could switch her over to like medical stuff?
 
Avellan, how close are you guys to Grace's place? we are all going to need to regroup.

Not far really, though the Vaults are HUGE places, despite what the videogames allowed your character to see. Some Vaults could actually contain 1000 residents.

Also I think we should list out our characters specialities so we know who can do what and what they somewhat look like (Concerning SPECIAL). For example.

STR: 2
PER: 6
END: 3
CHA: 6
INT: 8
AGL: 8
LUC: 8

TAGS: Guns, Sneak, Science
So basically my guy is good at ranged weapons. He isn't very good at any melee and can't take much punishment.

So I've been thinking about the groups and power affiliations in the outside world.
Fallout 3 has the Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel, Talon Company, Regulators, etc.
Fallout New Vegas has Brotherhood of Steel, NCR, Ceaser's Legion, etc.

So here's who we should expect to meet, sooner or later.
The Brotherhood of Steel - Mainly Outcasts considering there mainly in Eastern and Western United Stares
The Enclave - The group that stayed behind when president Eden and the rest made their way to the Capital Wasteland.
Raiders - There everywhere, just like in Fallout 3 and in Fallout New Vegas.

Any other ideas of who we should meet? Make up a group something?
I don't think the NCR will be around, nor Ceaser's Legion.
