well, it took a while, but dammit I think that was worth the wait. That made me laugh quite a few times, and adds another unique character to the mix, I'll love to see what shenanigans he gets himself into. I'm putting this guy on my list of characters to keep an eye on.Khedive Rex said:NAME: Bartelby Naroh
AGE: 31
GENDER: Male
RACE: Human
APPEARANCE: A man of average height (5'10 to put a number) and thin build. He does not appear physically strong because, honestly, he's fairly weak. Bartelby's physique would perhaps be better suited to diving through narrow windows or hiding under desks than, for example, lifting furniture. That being said, his shoulder length black hair is ussually clean, he makes a valiant effort to keep a smooth face in a world where razors are ussually reserved for other purposes and his clothes are significantly more sophisticated than the average joe's functional attire. With his dark green eyes and smooth features he might even be attractive if it weren't for the nearly permanent expressions of terror, shock and unease which are his standard states of being.
PERSONALITY: Bartelby is a well trained and very experienced coward. He's a man of the people, in that the more people who are following him the easier it is to hide behind them. He believes in and respects the ideas of honor and chivalry but fully recognizes that they're for people who are morally superior. A dirty trick or two isn't below him; if it got him out of danger canabalism wouldn't be below him. He's not afriad to grovel. Though he will certainly be afraid while groveling, and after groveling, and upon meeting anyone who might potentialy be placated by a good bout of groveling. Its not that he's spineless, at his core hes a rebel humanist with deep concerns for the current condition of humanity and the plight of the average wastelander, its just that when everyone is trying to kill you all the time, it makes a person nervous.
Bartelby maintains lofty ambitions of overthrowing the Enclave and establishing a truely representative government to defend the average man and ensure the rule of law. Unfortunately his allies are few and far between. The Brotherhood of Steel considers Bartelby a high priority enemy and is ever at work attempting to recapture the old world bike that Bartelby stole from their base in California. The Enclave, and Bartelby's poor sick mother, aren't appreciative of Bartelby's rebellious ways and will do whats necessary to prevent it becoming an inconvenience. Crimson Caravan Company occasionally sends very well trained mercenaries to remind Bartelby of his 12,000 cap debt back west in Oregon. The Followers of the Apocalypse are the only ones happy to see his terrified visage, and thats only so they can use him as bargaining leverage against his mother in the Enclave. This means the only people Bartelby can rely on as allies are the bullied and bruised wastelanders. Understandably, these people are low on guns and ussually lose their enthusiasm for civic revolution after their first bullet wound. Consequently, Bartelby spends a lot of his time running. He's gotten fairly good at it
WEAPONS: TNT, Frag Grenades, the occasional plasma grenade made suspiciously from the interior of his old world bike out of empty nuka cola bottles.
ITEMS: Stimpacks, doctors bags, rad-away, rope, flint,
PERKS/TRAITS/SKILLS:
{Overwhelming Bad Luck} If something can go wrong, you should anticipate that it will.
{Works On Bears} Gain the ability to "play dead". Bartelby will fall to the ground and enemies below a certain intellect will treat him as dead.
{Cagey Charm} Bartelby has a way with people. Technically its pleading for his life, but there's just something about that delivery...
{Urban Guerilla Squirell} Years of out running, out climbing, and out hanging-off-the-sides-of-buildings his pursuers has made Bartelby a veritable escaping machine. He's one of the few human beings who can condescendingly critique the escape plans of scurrying rodents.
{Human Resources Idiot-Savant} Plenty of very well connected people know Bartelby by name. Most of them hate him.
{Escapological Tinkerer} Trained primarily from numerous occasions in which a localized explosion might be helpful, or a door would be put to better use disassembled, Bartelby gains a bonus to the repair and science skills when using these abilities to escape.
TRANSPORTATION: A three-seater motorcycle, labeled with a logo of a brain riding a cat. Whatever it is, the bike is very advanced technology, probably from before the great war. This can be deduced by its incredible land speed, the drawer in the side that produces plasma grenades out of empty nuka cola bottles, and the fact that it was stolen from the Brotherhood of Steel who have spent an inordinate amount of time and money trying to recover it. Its the perfect vehicle for Bartelby because, at the speeds it travels, you have to be desperate before its even worth using. Fortunately, Bartelby is desperate often and the bike has saved his life on numerous occasions.
Why thank you! I kind of love the idea of playing a magnificent coward and this struck me as just the kind of RP where I could get away with doing something like that. There's certainly already a precedent for out-there characters. I'm quite excited to run into your walrus doctor. Bartelby has a special fear of doctors. Most people have to settle for killing you. Doctors? They can keep you alive...Dr. Crawver said:well, it took a while, but dammit I think that was worth the wait.

A very interesting character, and...his mother's in the Enclave? That could be...fun.Khedive Rex said:-Brave Sir Robin!-
Project Purity functional and guarded by East Coast BoS. No FEV sabotage. Lone Wanderer wandered off some years back and we dunno where he went. Liam Neeson is still dead, but if you hurt his kid, he swears that he will find you and he will kill you.Souplex said:So how were choices from 3 handled?
The biggest one I can think of is whether or not Project Purity was sabotaged, but there are a decent number of others, such as the fate of Megaton.
It's looking like it's going to be enough fun, there's enough "normal" style RP characters, like the cowboys, basket cases, and warriors, with enough "wild card" characters thrown in to spice it up more. Just as long as no guns end up being pointed at the walruses head when he's no-where near water, I'm sure he'll do fine.Khedive Rex said:Why thank you!

So we can safely assume in all situations that the Lone Wanderer chose the good option?FalloutJack said:Project Purity functional and guarded by East Coast BoS. No FEV sabotage.

Megaton is no boom, in fact disarmed. Tenpenny Tower is ghoul-haven'd.
Additinally, for anyone who needs to know: Independent New Vegas, NCR and Legion still in a snit out west. East Coast BoS not happy about the way West Coast BoS was handling things.
Is helping Roy and the ghouls the good option with the tower? That one struck me as gray, but mostly yeah. I wouldn't have him kill all the mutants. Marcus is awesome.Souplex said:So we can safely assume in all situations that the Lone Wanderer chose the good option?FalloutJack said:Project Purity functional and guarded by East Coast BoS.

You did read how I said this was after New Vegas, right? And that later I clarified "Independent New Vegas", with the notion that the Legion and NCR still have alot to fight over? Not that that directly influences us unless you're from that area "CoughVanGraffCough* but still...LFC Scouser said:So the Courier has not been shot yet?FalloutJack said:Is helping Roy and the ghouls the good option with the tower?

You rang? And the best bit about ongoing conflict between NCR and Legion is that it's good for the family business! That and a lack of NCR taxes under Independant NV. Good times for all!FalloutJack said:You did read how I said this was after New Vegas, right?

Well the good option is to persuade Tenpenny to let the ghouls stay, but that ends with Roy having all the non-ghoul residents killed anyways.FalloutJack said:Is helping Roy and the ghouls the good option with the tower?

I send the invites. This will take a while. There's no REAL rush at this time. I wanna get it started myself, but basically don't worry about it.Deadyawn said:So, where is this group? Should we find it now or will you just invite everyone later?

I think you're too late. The cutoff was on page three.Viking Incognito said:NAME: Rez Tereth A.K.A. The Mechanic
AGE: 29
GENDER: Male
RACE: Caucasian human
APPEARANCE: He is just barely 6 feet tall. He is kind of skinny with good strong muscle tone from all the manual labor he dose. He?s got a pointed jaw line and electric blue eyes. He has sort of dark orange hair that he keeps cut short and a roughly kempt beard of 5?o clock shadow. He usually wears a pair of tinted aviator sunglasses he found in a burnout bar a long time ago. He wears some dusty old jeans and steel toe construction boots. On his chest he wears a grey T-shirt and over that he wears an old army jacket with the sleeves ripped off just above his biceps. and some fingerless black gloves.
PERSONALITY: He doesn?t laugh a lot and is usually showing a slight scowl. If he doesn?t like you his attitude towards you will be noticeably negative but if he dose then he will be more vocal around you then he normally is. That isn?t hard to tell however since he hardly ever says anything he doesn?t need to. He is actually pretty smart and has a fondness for reading which is why he can?t stand people he considers stupid. This has gotten him in to trouble a few times before when he lost his temper around dumb people that had friends with them. He also has a bit of a bad temper. It is hard to get him to his boiling point because he is fairly patient, but when it?s reached you better not get in his way. He also has a hard-on for muscle cars, and deep down in his heart, his greatest passion is just riding on towards the horizon with the long road stretching out before him.
WEAPONS: He keeps a loaded .44 revolver on his hip and he is pretty good with it. He also has a combat shotgun in his backseat as well as a special jury-rigged big-game cross bow (He calls it Thorn Spitter and it has enough punch to knock down a Yao-Gai). Other than that his set of tools can be used as melee weapons, screwdriver for stabbing, crowbar and tire-iron for braining, etc.
ITEMS: He has a bullet-proof vest that he wears under his shirt most of the time, his above mentioned clothes, his tool box and its contents, a few med-x and blood packs he keeps for emergencies in the glove compartment of his car, as well a bit of food and drink.
PERKS/TRAITS/SKILLS: Well Jury-Rigging obviously, as well as Shotgun Surgeon, Toughness, Cowboy, Strong back, Unstoppable force, Robotics Expert, and Nerves of Steel.

Or if you are to lazy to use that to paint a picture I?ll sum it up for you. He is a strong tough son of a gun, and a miracle worker when it comes to all things mechanical. He is also a really really damn good driver.
TRANSPORTATION: Now I?ll explain the car I keep referencing. Rez had a 1 in a million lucky shot when he found what may indeed be the last 1969 Dodge Charger on earth. He was able to whip it into running condition and replace the engine with a more modern energy-cell powered engine, but it still roars like a beast, which is why he calls it Leo. He Armored it up to the point that it can stop a sniper rifle, and added some opening-and-closing bullet proof metal shudders on the windows. He outfitted the front and back with re-enforced bumpers laced with razor wire, in case he was in that kind of mood. And he keeps his tool, box and whatever other extra stuff he may want in the trunk, and his weapons in the back seat. It is painted black so it can blend in at night, and he basically lives in it when not on the road. He loves that car like it is his brother.
This will be my first RP in a few months. I hope you like the sheet.

If it's all the same to you, I'd like to. I'm already crossing states as is with a ton of characters to boot.
