Taking a quick glance at the category and after doing a little search, I noticed there isn't a thread where we can share Fallout character designs and comment on them. So I just made one up. If a thread like this already exists, just lock this one and I'll post there, no problem.
So, to kickstart this thing, here's a design for Fallout 1 I'm just about to test:
"Shade"
Age 24
Male
Attributes:
ST: 4
PE: 8 (+2)
EN: 4
CH: 2
IN: 3 (+2)
AG: 10
LK: 7
(Note: Base Attributes apply to daytime. Due to Night Person trait Perception and Intelligence each get +2 bonus during nighttime putting PE at 10 and IN at 5)
Traits:
One Handed
Night Person
Skills:
Small Guns
Sneak
Repair
Bio:
Stephen "Shade" McDonald is not a people person. In fact, he prefers to be around when just about everyone else is asleep, giving him the chance to tinker with his hobbies and practise his marksmanship in private. He's the kind of guy who can entertain himself for hours dismantling and reassembling his pipboy, provided nobody distracts him. Unfortunately, his nighttime escapades have screwed up his biological clock somewhat nasty, making it difficult for him to stay clear and focused during daytime and making him even less sociable.
Notes:
This guy is basically built around the Night Person Trait and the effects that intelligence at 3 or lower has on the game. Basically Shade will Switch on and off dumb mode depending on the time of day. Since some opportunities are off limits during night (Killian comes to mind) this will make for a nice challenge. As for the rest: I wanted to make Shade a gunslinger-type character, hence One Handed and Small Guns, and I'd think a nighttime loner living in a high-tech vault would tinker with machines to pass the time. As for Gambling, I often tag it for the flavour, and who knows, maybe he spent some of those nights playing texas holdem in the vault databanks.
