| RP Idea |
Alright...was thinking last night after I finished a bunch of work and couldnt sleep.
RP Idea - The name of the RP would be named "Fallout"
Setting - A country-like wasteland with a couple cities and small towns. Picture a modern environment with maybe a few less luxuries. I may do a simple map. I will be basically using our timeline(so I could say year 2008). This does not take place on Earth.
Plot - A nuclear power plant in the Randus region of Aldoria had a containment leak that killed or 'changed' anyone in the surrounding countryside. Clouds of radiation cover a number of areas while isolated fields of it drift around others. Very close to the nuclear plant was a research facility that also was home to many important documents, valuable secrets, and there were legends of gold kept safe in a secret vault for the country of Aldoria. The radiation was too dangerous for anyone to go near it, so the government watched and watched. Fifty years later, dozens upon dozens of scavengers, small-time thieves, and other criminals were attracted by this region after rumors and stories of riches and loot were spread. Stories about mountains of gold, jewels, and other valuables attracted anyone with an ounce of greed in their body. Many of these men and/or women grouped together into temporary groups in order to give them a better chance at success. Whether they wanted to share the wealth...is up to them. They all wanted to be rich beyond their wildest dreams.
_______________________
Now, for some reason this reminds me a bit of "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." but I have never played the game and dont know the storyline so bear with me :) I am just trying to come up with a simple RP for people to play.
The "DON'TS!" of this RP.
1. No being ex-military, ex-special forces, etc. I don't want fuckin' commandos running around killing dozens of people in some stupid way. You are facing people who are as good, if not more skilled, than you. Survival is your number 1 priority. Allying, killing, betraying, and deceiving are your skills. You have a lot of control in this, but please don't do the following scenario.
"Let's be friends!" said Charley.
"Okay!" said Bob. Bob turned around and Charley shot him in the head.
"GTFO nub!" laughed Charley.
2. Don't make the people you interact with complete and utter morons. If I had a dime for everytime I saw that, I would be richer than Bill Gates. The "NPCs"(Non-player characters) have to be smart if they have survived to this point. They can be paranoid, crazy, anti-social, overly cautious, etc. I want people to try and challenge themselves.
3. Don't godmod or uber...please? I will just be forced to have you eaten by a bunny or die from testicular cancer or something stupid just to show you how much of an idiot you are. Having super heavy weapons, heavy body armor, and a brain that rivals Einstein just make the RP boring. It also makes you a huge target for other enemies. Make a character...develop him/her...make it fun/exciting.
I will advance the storyline or give hints at things, but just go around, explore, and do fun stuff. It is almost open ended except for small events I drop in. I will have a character, but he will be a special character who helps things along, breaks up god-moding and ubering, and maybe causes a fun thing to happen to some people. I won't be trying to go for riches just so that I can be like a living GM.
Normal NPCs That You Might Meet:
Aldorian Soldiers: These men are trying to keep all 'intruders' out of the area so that they can find the valuables themselves. Many plans were lost over the course of 50 years, so they are basically at square 1 as well. They are heavily armed, armored, and skilled, which makes facing them a very bad idea unless you have a deathwish. Escape is the best option. They have some light vehicles(APCs, light armored vehicles, etc) but they don't have really any air support due to the radiation clouds in the air causing malfunctions.
Scavengers: These men/women are somewhat common, stealthy, and well-varied. Very few are similar to another since it is not like they Google'd a website on how to dress, arm themselves, and act...right?
-Some may choose to shoot you on sight, some may run like hell and not want a confrontation, some may want to be friends...and then shoot you in the back, some may really want to be friends...and then you shoot them in the back, some try not to ever be seen, some like to plant traps all over the place...the variations are endless. Disguises might work...but smart ones would shoot you first and maybe feel bad later if you were really their friend.
Thieves: These men/women are experts at hiding and pickpocketing. They are not skilled fighters in any shape or form, but they just cannot ignore the thoughts of a mountain of gold. A cheap knife may be their weapon, but killing a person with it would possibly put people on guard against him/her. And why would they want that? They want to be able to steal anything of value without drawing too much attention to themselves.
Mercenaries: These men were sent by other governments to 'borrow' the Aldorian valuables. Plans or gold...they don't care. They don't like other people too much and typically resort to ambushing and killing anyone that isn't in their ranks. They know each other by name and have been with each other for years. Disguises might as well put a bullseye on your head.
Maybe more later...anyone interested? I might actually stay active for this.
Yay wall-o-text!
Interested people can make a simple CS(Character Sheet) if they want to as well.
Name: (I don't want "Ghost" or "Nightstalker" or some crazy name...make a first and/or last name if you want).

Class:(If you want...or mix and match...a 'little')
Goal:(Get rich, steal documents, get laid, have kids, get shot, shoot someone, etc).
Description:(Physical characteristics. No need to put too much effort into this.)
Personality:(Crazy, sane-ish, paranoid, overly cautious, care-free, etc...be creative if you want).

Let's see if I can jump into the world of nuclear fallout and DOOM. Might make a good return RP.
Name: Michael W. Torres
Age:
37
Class: Scavenger
Goal: Go off to a dangerous place and take everything of value. Try to come out alive.
Description: Medium height and light build, black hair, wearing a white shirt, black jacket with many pockets and black trousers. Carries a rucksack for of survivables (survival items).
Personality: A little on the defensive side, thinks of himself as sane, prone to being unpredictable when angry. Is only just heading out into the nuclear wilderness, but has a good idea of how to survive due to self-taught courses. Has no idea what really waits for him in the wilderness...

Editing the time a bit...no silencers are invented. That means: No silencers...I find that they would make this RP monotonous if everyone just started using them. It also makes things less...exciting I guess.

{Being a mercenary would there be any problem engaging in anyone (except Aldorian soldiers) in fights? Would invention of names of other countries be a problem?}
Name: Tiberius Termainius
Age: 28
Class: Mercenary
Goal: Gather Intelligence by whatever means possible and build a network of spies and allies.
Description: 6'4", 187lbs. Was an average employee at the Tainarion Human Body Sciences Department. Was dishonourably discharged after one year of service for his rowdy behaviour, constant fighting and incompetence. Most of the charges were fake and produced by a former rival in the Tainarion College of Sciences where he would constantly pick on him for being a nerd. On being discharged he tried to set up a UAC camp to teach people to fight with faked up credentials. Was arrested by the goverment at the time of the Randus disaster and was faced with the proposition of spending a long time in jail or working for a government in return for a clean sheet and large sum of cash, which was to be given on his return. Grudgingly he acccepted the latter
Personality: Cautious in attitude but once angered gives a hell of a fight. Prides himself on his pragmatism and foresightedness.

You are a mercenary of one group. That means you would fight everyone else...because you are a merc for one group and that group only works for that group. Typically allying other people is frowned upon since you would be compromising your mission...possibly.
PS - Being a member of a group of mercs that you control isn't really....smiled upon(?). I prefer people to be scavengers but do what you want to do. Just be careful...
|
You know me better than to say that. Won't break a line.
*Assumes an innocent face*
|
If the technology of the scavengers is modern (sans silencers), does that make the technology of the nuclear zone semi-futuristic? If not, what are these 'plans' the external governments value?
|
Name: Arvin Ousna
Age: 27
Class: Scavenger that manages to never get noticed.
Goal: No particular goal, is just here for the excitment. If he happens to get rich during it, so much the better for him.
Description: Long black hair, rather weak and clumsy, was abandoned at age 10.
Personality: Pessmistic, Sarcastic, Trustworthy, Intelligent.
|
Name: Aisha
Age: 32
Class: Merchant
Goal: The wasteland is a dangerous place to be, criminals around every corner. Only way for it to be in balance is for everyone to be dangerous. If you need a weapon, medicine, or anything you might desire, Aisha is there for your service. She never stays at one place making it harder for anyone to attack her, she has a horse strapped with the resources, and she is very skilled in combat, but uses it only in self protection.
Description: Long black hair, tall and fit. Keeps in shape, has had army training and it can be seen by some of her moves.
Personality: Cautius person, as it goes with the job, though quite positive and always wiling to help her customers

[[OOC: I think starting gear should be important. >>]]
Name: Jack Bishop
Age: 32
Class: Scavenger
Goal: Survival of both his body and his soul.
Starting gear: .30/06 hunting rifle w/scope, .45 automatic pistol, hunting knife.
Description: Short dark brown hair, blue eyes, 5'11". Athletic build. Bishop's a tough bastard, but his lack of any formal training is a problem.
Personality: Honorable, intelligent, cautious, brave.
|
Well, I am just seeing who is interested first << No sense in having gear if there is no RP >>
|
Name: Michael Kaine. Lee Halsted
Age: 39
Class: Crazy Watcher/Scavenger/GM
Goal: To Watch The Strange Events
Description: Michael has black hair that reaches his shoulders, hazel eyes, is slim but very strong and can climb very adeptly.
Personality: Michael is schizophrenic. This man is crazy as hell. He may trust people for some time, but his paranoia could easily fix that. The little voice in his head, that he named Lee Halsted, is probably as crazy as Michael. The keywords for Michael are: Schizophrenic, Paranoia, Very intelligent, Overly Cautious, Slightly Sadistic.

RP is on hold or cancelled...will decide later. Maybe someone else would like to make an RP...since obviously I cannot appease some people and make it perfect for them.

For the love of... yogurt, I dunno. Just make it your f***ing way and stop being so pissed about other opinions.
...mmm, yogurt, I need another.

Meh, I'll make another RP then.

Heh... this was my first role playing try... and it ends like this.
I shall not try to role play on forums again

May start this RP sunday or monday. Will see how this goes.
|
See where your anger gets you, Charley? Now Aisha will never RP on the forums again. =(
|
You know what? Just go away alright? I have talked with her and dont need your advice on things such as this. She knows all about why things happened as they have and why I have been angry with certain people. Dont try and make me out to be the evil guy or you WILL regret it. End of discussion.
