Good morning Vault Dweller! Today is May 2nd 2280, 203 years, 6 months, and 9 days since the Vault was sealed.
There are no notices from Vault Security or the Overseer this morning! Copies of the Vault 9 Messenger will be available at noon; today's feature article is Bonsai Trees: The Hydroponic Way.
Welcome to Vault 9, located beneath the ruins of scenic Circle Pines, MN (just fifteen minutes from the Twin Cities!). Unfortunately Vault 9 remains sealed on the orders of it's overseers keeping a population of 474 safe, secure, and in the height of luxury. The current gender ratio is 474 to 0, female/male. Thanks to a generous donation from Poseidon Energy, the original inhabitants of the vault were almost entirely made up of the student body and faculty of the all-female Wool College. Indeed, a clerical error* resulted in the entire population of the vault being female. Serendipitously Vault 9 is also equipped with the best artificial insemination facilities on the planet, contact the vault medical staff for details!
Character CreationAll you need to do is make a post with a name, age, general physical description, personality sketch, and SPECIAL (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_SPECIAL#Primary_statistics) values. If you like, pick a couple (no more then four) perks (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Perk) and tag three skills (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_skills#List_of_skills)!. Don't worry! Vault-Tec will see to your career assignment!

NAME:
Cat Crovan - AKA, Catrionya II MacDougal-Rurikovich-Crovan, Archduchess of Argyll, Countess of Orkney (Please don't. Just call me Cat.)
AGE: 17 (born 10th of May 2262)
APPEARANCE: Bright red hair, cut short, an extremely pale complexion (even with regard to the total lack of sunlight any Vault dweller gets) and patches of freckles on her left cheek. Very tall (6 feet sharp), otherwise reasonably attractive. Somewhat slender, otherwise of average build.
PERSONALITY & HISTORY: Cat is the somewhat unlucky great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Catriona MacDougal-Crovan, who inherited the seat of the scottish duchy of Argyll when the ruling Campbell dynasty died out paternally. Not that anyone ever cared much for the title itself, but Catriona was filthy rich anyway, so the good highlander lady thought it was just fine to keep going. She married the son of a Russian businessman, who turned out to be - after some genealogy research they did for fun - a VERY far-off descendant of House Rurikovich, the viking jarl who conquered and founded the Kievan Rus, the first united Russian state, way back in the 9th century. Both good-natured rich people with not much mind to old nobility and their ways, they happily declared that all children of their union be of the MacDougal-Rurikovich-Crovan dynasty, and many good laughs were had at the baptism of their daughter Catrionya. Who, as rich kids often are, were sent off abroad to a private school early in life, and then another, and then another. Wool College was the first one she'd picked herself, but it was very much routine, even then. And then the Vaults happened.
Fast forward 200 years to now, and Cat. Her mother has recently died, which is of some relief to her since she doesn't have to put up with her elitist bullshit anymore. The bad part, of course, is that all the little elitist ladies in the clique that surrounded her mother, and praised her for her (totally irrelevant) status, now stalk Cat with their every step. Cat is not amused.
Cat lives in the engineering department, and is an absolute magician with most sciency stuff. She is reasonably geeky and has a pretty thorny personality, thanks to her mother, and when she gets angry (which she does pretty easily) she gets
Angry. She does, however, tend to treat people fairly.
Very fairly.
With regard to other people, she's not a very social type. Nor is she very much into the whole sexuality thing. It simply seems so unnecessary. Instead, she spends her time doing her work, and she does it splendidly.

Not that it has any direct effect, but I think it's a decent way to sum things up. Also, I changed the church education ones to sciency education, since it's the closest related one. Just replace "theologian" or "priest" with "engineer" or what have you. Please try this system out, it's good stuff![/spoiler]

Name: Nova Fuller
Age: 19 (Birthday 12 - 12 - 2260)
Sex / gender: Female / ?
Appearance: 5'5'', average build, pale, cropped dark brown hair, gray eyes. Overall she looks fairly androgynous and dresses/acts accordingly. Wears glasses.
Personality: Somewhat quiet and withdrawn, doesn't make friend easily, but is loyal to the ones she does have. Comes from a family with several successful engineers, perhaps explaining her affinity toward tinkering, building and repair (though she doesn't show much aptitude for the more scientific end of things). She's also quite skilled with firearms.

If nobody else signs up, we'll start this tomorrow afternoon.
i'll make a character, but i've never played fallout. all i know about it is word of mouth; i've never even seen it played.
if that's not an issue, i'll join in the fray.
I've never played either, but I have been known to occasionally wikiwalk the Fallout Wiki... .w.
but i haven't. i know jack shit about the series and the premise. i'm wondering if it's even possible for me to play. :\
I think you probably could
If you'd like, I can send some links your way to help you get the basic idea of what the series is like, and in turn this RP; much like the Changeling Quick-Start Guide :3
Well, unless Stew beats me to it; in which case he'll help you
Sure! I thought I sent you a PM with everyone else, but it must've been one of the ones that timed out.
That'd be great Pentium, thanks.
It's not that strange a premise, anyway.
What I'm a bit confused by: I thought the entire thing was based upon the Cold War going "hot" somewhere in the 70's or so, and thus the old-timey computers and whatnot? So why vaults closed in 2080? Or am I just entirely off my rocker here?
The 2070s, specifically October 23, 2077. It just does the whole retro-futuristic thing.
@stew: i got the PM. but i wasn't sure if prior knowledge of the series was required. if it's not, and you're willing to put up with my utter lack of knowledge of this or any similar series (outside of the occasional titbit about bioshock), i'll join in as.....
Umeko Sakai (梅子 酒井) (nicknames: Ume, Ume-chan, Plum, Lum?)
Age: 14 (birthday: February 3rd, 2266, aquarius, year of the dragon)
Height: 5"
weight: 115 lbs
Other: Left Handed
Str: 2
Per: 8

Int: 9
Agi: 8
Luc: 4
Short, thin, and unassuming, Umeko is a glasses-wearing young teen. Shy and quiet, she is quite smart, but unwilling to voice her opinion unless she is extremely comfortable in the context. if she is spoken to, she is likely to clam up or to stutter, being very nervous in social situations. conversely, she is an excellent researcher and has the powers of knowledge, reasoning, and logic on her side. despite seeming like a weakling, Umeko knows some hand-to-hand combat, largely from dealing with bullies. she doesn't like fighting, however, and will only defend herself if cornered, usually opting to run.
For a number of reasons, Umeko can't wear Vault Tec shoes, instead wearing a pair of old leather mary janes passed down through her family.

Alright, I'll wait until your finished up.

(You're missing your SPECIAL (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_SPECIAL#Primary_statistics) values+eventual skills)
(What Nej said. If you need help, feel free to ask and I'll walk you through it)
thought i was missing something. ugh, this is all so complicated. i'll get it in and edit this post once it's done.
(done)
It's not that different from the first time I setup a character for Changeling, so don't worry :3
Seriously, if you want help I'd be happy to explain the SPECIAL system.
i got the stats. it's worth noting that i wanted to give myself some of the skills you mentioned (perks, etc), but all the fallout wiki pages made my computer freeze, so i'll leave it as it is. sorry for the fuss.
s'fine, they aren't essential.
As for occupation...
Student!
Starting Inventory:
-Vault suit
-Pip-Boy 3000
-Big Book of Science
Expect an IC thread tomorrow afternoon.
i read through the other people's SPECIAL scores, and i didn't realize we were allowed to take points from other catagories to shift towards our strengths. i thought 5 was the minimum requirement. feel free to say no, but can i shift mine a bit more?
DO IIIIT.
Yeah, drop dat base!

n'aw, what nice sounding NPCs. :3
also, finished adjusting SPECIAL. please tell me there's not going to be any heavy lifting. ^^;;
IC thread started!
How this is Going to Work
Most everyone has gotten a message to start off their day; this in no way means you have to speed right to it though! Since the day is only starting, it's probably best to get your characters woken up and ready for the day before taking off to work/school/what have you. That also means feel free to interact! I didn't establish where anyone's quarters are for this reason; why not run into one another or maybe an NPC in the cafeteria or on your way to work? Interact, my puppets!!! ;D
i'm not sure i like the way you called us "puppets". .____.;
*maniacal laughter*
o____o
btw, is this OOG chat?
Mhmm, yes it is.
a'ight.
am i the only one wandering the halls aimlessly? a lack of purpose lingering in my mind? xD
So, I realized I was mixing up my Vault 9 character with my Fallout 3 character; referring to Adeleine as "Fuuka" ^_^;;;
I just edited my posts to address this issue, after Kari pointed it out
was wondering what that was about. >>;
Well, feel free to jump ahead whenever you're ready. Same goes for everyone.
WHERE DO I STUDY
EDIT: i suggest we make one central school on floor 2, that way it's easily accessed by all the students, as few as there must be.
So, what do I do next? My character is in-route to her meeting with Chief Cohee, but I'm not sure what to do from there; do I mention her arriving, or wait for Stew to say something about Cohee?
same for me! i assume my class is going to the assembly, but what motivation does the student have? should we all have been security officers? :\
I AM HARASSING MY CO
*puts on judge's hat and robes*
I HAVE LAWSUIT NOW
LAWL AND ORDER?
LAWL ANON HURRDURR
><
Sorry, I've been busy as hell today with the ton of exams and shit. Posts tomorrow.
it's okay. i'd like to post, but i need to finish this paper before midnight. ;^;
<PSA>In case it wasn't evident already, the game is on hiatus until Stew gets back. Just posting this so you don't all assume that it's been abandoned or whatever.</PSA>
Aye-o. I was off in wastelands anyway.
so that's what happened? okay.
i assume he's not going to be around at all this summer? :\
.....No, he's already back and has internet access.
That doesn't change the fact that he has a full-time job and is busy with a lot of other things, though.
alright, cool. sorry for the confusion, i'm not all there in the head recently. -w-
I hope things go well with his job. I'll be awaiting his return to revive this RP, or rather, when he has the free time :3
in the meantime, people, plz report into the changeling thread. plz. ;^;
