Nulear Fallout. These words bring to mind mushroom shaped clouds, ruined cities, and radioactive skies and land. This thread is going to be about a group of Vault Dwellers (Our characters) who are forced to leave their vault and face that challenges of the outside world.
The year is 2274, three years before the events of Fallout 3, in Vault 51 located in the mountains a few miles away from Denver Colorado.

In the beginning, our characters will be living an average day within the vault. At this time, our characters get to know each other and settle down. But eventually an incident, which involves the Vault's computer to go haywire, causes us to flee the Vault.

If your interested in joining post your characters here in the OOC as such.

Here's my character.

Name: Robert Casdin
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearence: 5'11" and 152 lbs. Robert thin and gangly. He has short, straight black hair. Pale skin. And unique eyes (right one's blue while the left is green). He alwyas seems to have a smile on his face.
Personality: Roberts is a kind soul.He looks out for his friends and is a good person. He always tries to use diplomacy instead of violence. Despite his upbringing, he has turned out to be a good citizen of Vault 51.
History: Roberts was born in Vault 51 onhe day his mother died giving birth to him. Robert's father, Laurence Casdin, never got over the lose of his wife and so he went into a state of depression began drinking. Robert's father never sowed any fatherly kindness nor love towards his son, instead his father blamed Robert for his mother's death and always showed loathing to Robert.
Despite this upbringing, Roberts maintained a good personality,shwoing that which he has never recieved; kindness. Roberts is like by most of the people of the Vault and seen as a good person.
Equiptment: Vault 51 Jumpsuit, Pip-Boy, Pre-War money, and a bokk "Of Mice and Men"
 
Here I am! A new type of character for me. I'm trying the hopeless (or hopeful) romantic who has very little control over her fears.

Name: Grace Rayne
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5'6" and ~125lbs. Grace is an angel, and she gets everything in life through her charming personality and good record. Her big blue eyes and long dark eyelashes also don't hurt. She is thin and could have been a ballerina in a different universe. She has blonde hair which is constantly tightly curled and hangs waist length. Her skin is flawless and smooth, and china doll pale.
Personality: Innocent and shielded. Her parents were very protective over their only daughter, and watched her constantly. In her group of friends, she is often carried along into more 'dangerous' activities like practical jokes and running around the Vault. Most of her time is taken up studying, dancing or keeping her body nice and clean. Giggly and happy, Grace shows a good honest want to help others and sees herself as a lady and tries to remain polite all the time. A diplomat.
History: Grace was born in Vault 51 to George and Rowina Rayne. Her father, George Rayne, adores his baby girl and treats her like a child. Working long hours to buy her toys and gifts and to afford nicer clothing. Her mother, Rowina Rayne suffers from a breathing disorder and keeps to herself mainly. As such, Grace has learned that anything she wants or needs has to come from her father. And she plays on this. Her mother teaches her to sew and mend clothing, as well as how to cook. She is the epitome of a housewife in training. Grace has a good group of friends, and many boys both court her and pick on her. Finding her too fragile and kind hearted, even for the Vault.
Equipment: Vault 51 Jumpsuit, Pip-Boy, Pre-War money, Sewing kit.

A not so clean Grace. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs19/f/2007/286/c/e/innocent_by_matusciac.jpg

Name

Sebastian

Gender

Male

Age

18

Appearence

5'10", 215 lbs. Sebastian is big, strong, and athletic. His eyes are the color of grey storm clouds. He kept his hair buzzed short. If he let it grow out it would be pale blond. his facial hair was also shaved close at all times. he couldn't afford it to get in the way of his tinkering.

Personality

Sebastian's mother becoming ill when he was young had a big impact on him. Sometimes he would blame himself for her illness. He developed a temper and anger control issues. He is often the first to pull a prank and the last to talk about who was in on it. Uninterested in organized mischief he avoided the vault (youth gang) and focused on more elaborate pranks.

History

Sebastian's mother was sevearly weakened after he was born. She became so sick they had to put her in a hospital bed for the rest of her life. She will never recover. His father one of the Vault's Scientists encouraged him to study computers, and instilled in him a strong intellect. Despite his father's training Sebastian often grew restless. He would sneak away from his computer terminal to help repair parts for the vaults many machines. In his early teens he was able to fashion together a weights set, and punching bag in his rooms. Because of the gear his father helped him build for his studies, and the weights he fashioned Sebastian spends a great deal of time in his rooms.

Equipment

Vault 51 Jumpsuit, Modified Pip-boy, A prewar Quarter, small tool kit {four sockets, a small wrench and two screw drivers [Phillips and Flathead]}

Notes

Please note that despite the amount of time Sebastian spends in his room, he has a profound sense of protection of others. This will manifest when they are in danger in the coming weeks.

The modified PipBoy is programmed to hack into any Easy level terminals automatically and store the data. Also all color schemes are Blue and orange. I have also programmed applications such as a journal where i can record specific facts.

This is somewhat like how Sebastian would look in Fallout haha :

So far so good. It seems that mother in this vault ae all having problems.

Also Joshua_silver. Your character`s age might be a problem. Lit forum rules state no underaged charcters in threads. Just a warning. It's ok by me considering in Fallout 3 the Lone Wanderer is 17.
 
oh right, i didn't think about that. i was just going over my fallout 3 knowledge. Did you like all the gear i thought of bringing with me? As far as the mothers... well that gives us common ground. :D
 
I'm thinking about having onl four people. Me, DormantEvil and Joshua_silver make three so I'm going to wait for one more female. The reason being because it'd be odd of say.. 7 or 8 Vault Dwellers escaped at once. While four is an ok number. So the next female to sigh up gets the part. Then I'll begin the IC.

Note: Vault 51 will look like Vault 101, just to save on lenghty descriptions and all the Vaults did almost look a like.
 
Yes. I iked your gear, especially the bat. I think we can deal with the problem with mothers and point it towards the Vault Computer as the cause. Maybe it's starting to malfunction and then it goes haywire.
 
the stress of the cataclysm of the vault opening will no doubtadly kill my mother. So thats what i'm thinking will happen.
 
How about if the doctor or medical services in Vault 51 just suck, and that all mothers who gave birth seem to be suffering from some similar unknown infection. Some died at childbirth simply because of complications, but the rest seem to be suffering this odd symptomatic condition. Which they have no treatments for.

Weakness, fatigue, irritability sometimes, shortness of breath. Maybe they are more sensitive to loud noises, bad odors, bad tasting food (leading to many losing weight) and bright lights. So they stay in their rooms a lot more.

Plus the Vault dwellers could dislike spending heaps of time around them, in case its infectious.
 
True. Imagine living in a Vault in real life. It would suck. I go outside just for the open space, not caring about radiation or whatever else.

Also we need another female character and I'm having a hard time finding one.
 
We could always start, and she could join in later. I suspect we'd have someone by the time we got out of the Vault. Maybe she crawled out before us and will be waiting, unsure how to proceed, or runs out covered in dust after us. Almost left behind.

Up to you guys, I'm fine to wait another couple of days.
 
I guess. I'll have the IC up soon. Need to think of a good intro. I have one planned, but it's a rough draft.
 
True...I better get out of the Vault before then, just to be on the safe side.
 
ya right... ha ... like the overseer would ever open the doors.... we're going to be in here forever.. right? :p
 
Bugger, I suppose so. Looks like dirty instruments of death it is for me. I'm totally wanting babies already, can you tell? XD
 
the end of legion anyone... haha Robert it's your turn! :p
___________

How far are we going to play into this before we get our 4th or would you rather just keep going and improvise even if it means adding someone from the outside?

Who knows. We still have a while.

Also. I don't want to copy off of Fallout 3. My guy being born outside of the Vault and such. The background story i that Vault 51 was never opened and hasn't been since 2077. My guy was born inside of the Vault as well as everyone else. If i had wanted to be born outside of the vault' I would have said so in my character's history.
 
Hm... what are we going to do about this room, if we go with grace's plans we'll be shining the door before morning :p
