Howdy!

If anyone is interested in getting into the Lone Wander posts, drop a message and we will see how to get you in. We are almost at the end of Chapt 2 and hopefully will be into Chapt 3. New characters always welcomed.
 
Mind if I join?

I'll use the characther form my fan fic (which noone reads anyway)

Go to the fanfic post in my siggy for info on the characther.

/Psycho wanders off and reads the achives of the RP story's chapters that have been allreaedy done.
 
Major problems here. Your character is a superman, something we have been trying to avoid. He;s too heavily armed and we've had a marine who failed to post and who we killed off.

That said, I think the character needs significant modifications. Also we are pretty far off from the regular Fallout territory - We're in Texas.
 
A-in my fan fic he heads east, so it makes sense that he would possibly head to texas.
B-miniguns suck ammo. I only have the minigun planed for the first few stories. By the point he joins the group here, he will be down to his P-90 (which uses the everpresent 9MM ammo) and his plasma pistol (but with almost no ammo left for it. So it wont be used until something needs to be melted)

the only superhuman thing about him would be his armour, which only makes him supermutant strong.


anyway, I'll leave it to the story master for how (and if) Marine gets introduced.
 
Dump the armor and the plasma pistol and we're fine. THe idea of the marines-

Here's what we came up with the last time. The government was worried that a number of its project might be compromised in the event of a nuclear war so it had begun to experiment with hybernation chambers to maintain combat troops as defenders. THe project had not been fully developed but a few marines had been placed in chamber. At the time of the war, they were in place, but then someone forgot to take them out of hybernation sleep and they awoke to an attack of mutants (default was an attack on the installation by outsiders). Most of the defenders were killed or died off soon thereafter, and the survivors have gone looking for friends.

Note that you will have to play this character as someone who is not yet aware of the world in which he is in. Also the lack of FEV virus exposure leaves you somewhat exposed.
 
Or better yet.......dump the plasma but keep the armour, sorta.

You know how in FO the discription of Power Armour says its fuel lasts 100 years ??? Have his armour lose power, it'll also set up a mini quest for Marine and any frinds that choose to go with him.

And it will also give the lone wanderers a place to wander to.

And if they wander someware that can refuell T-51b Powerd armour their will proably be badguys with awsome hardware as well.....................

I understand that, and intended to do so.

As far as the other marines you mentioned, lets have my characther be not imvolved with them at all.
 
Ok, why not bring your character in with the new arrivals in the caravan.
We'll say he's been at the University for awhile. Also he might have a tie in with Polock's story.

Please review the chapter summaries and try to read through Chap 3, just so you know what's going on.
 
I read the summery, and I'll read chapter 3

since I'm gona end my fan fic were he joins the lone wanderers, can we have him just wander in from the desert, or get stuck in the same hidey hole with the main characthers during an attack ?


Lets have him sorta hide his armour at first, lets have him wear a huge robe and hide his face, and others (at first) assume hes a mutant or something.

anyway, I'll leave that up 2 the storymaster.
 
ICC is for in game.
OCC is usually outside of the game.

SO please read the ICC. YOu can read the OCC as well.

And if you prefer, try out the new role play.
 
Objections.

Your character severly compromises the environment. Remember, Lone Wanderers is not necessarily Fallout (the same story line and such). Marines should be nonexistant if he has no connections to the Master (since he has no part in Lone Wanderers) or if he is part of the military (since any American military is defunct by now). The point is to keep as far away from Fallout's storyline as possible while either implementing or modifying things from its settings (quasi-similiar organizations and weapons for instance).

Then there is your inventory. First off, Power Armor should be incredibly rare. In fact, only Slayers have been reputed to possess them. Then there is the minigun. Let's clarify: miniguns are meant to be mounted onto helicopters and jetfighters, not used as squad automatic weapons. I don't care how strong your character is, lugging around 50 pound minigun with a belt of a thousand rounds is going to be a mean feat. And there's a reason why they are mounted to copters: recoil. Unless your boy has spikes under his feet, he's going to be knocked down by the generated recoil. Secondly, a P90 is a bad choice of secondary weapon. That particular submachine gun wasn't a military ordinance weapon for America (which received limited exports). Plus, it uses the 5.7mm ammo, not 9mm which is unique to only the P90 and its accompanying handgun.

So please, there's no reason to dick around with the setting just to have your fan fic correspond with the role playing. I mean, Wasteland Blade had a marine character and Smar has a supermutant character but I think it's a stretch to have a mysterious guy dressed in Power Armor with no current affiliations and wielding two out-of-place weapons to show up.

I'd suggest to make a new character. It doesn't hurt or cost you anything.
 
Sorry about the double post, but I just have to insist that you make a new character, having read your fanfic. I don't like to be a jerk or a hardass (since I was so understanding on your post about a new, short RPG) but I just don't like how you're trying to implement your fan fic into Lone Wanderers.

Besides the abhorrent contradictions of your character I stated above, I see major hassles with your constant tying in with Fallout. And I don't really dig the "man from the past" deal your trying to pull.

Also (and this may seem harsh but not as harsh as Draconias Galactica), I highly suggest that you read some more. Reading helps in your writing. Right now, I can see that your writing skill is undisciplined. You need to work on punctuation, spelling, and grammar (which is all easy if you take the time). And your pace of story is so sudden and random. In the same breath, you go on about how Marine gets wounded in the head, gets healed by some untested gel, wakes up 150 years later, kills two guys, picks up his guns, talks to some Shi in San Francisco, and kills a deathclaw? And that's all in one paragraph.

I have a feeling that if you go on in the same vein and train of thought, I'm going to have issues Roleplaying with you.

So please, improve your writing and make a new character if you want to join Lone Wanderers.
 
I agree with Gunslinger. Psycho what you are asking for is too much of a stretch.

I know you are having fun with your fan fic, but this doesn't correspond with what the Lone Wanderers is about.

As I mentioned before, you have a superman character. That doesn't fit. No power armor, no heavy weapons, no plasma pistol. Nada.

Try a suit of leather armor and maybe a hunting rifle.

You are dropping into a rather long developed story like a bull in a china shop. I understand your desire to roleplay, but you don't seem to have followed the story or even know what its about.

I have stretched the story considerably to fit in the desires of players, and I hate making those sacrifices. I especially hate to when the characters often drop out shortly after saying they want to participate.

So read the story, read the summaries, get a feel. If you want to stick, fine. If not, start your own roleplay or find another, or go to the new one.

I don't mean to be difficult, but we need standards. I have stuck with this thing too long when other players have come and gone, or have failed to commit.

Lone Wanderers is not your typical role play. It is for people who are interested in creative writing, who want to practice, who like to write, and want to do so in a cooperative form. It's not D&D. This requires a bit more dedication and more work.

If that's what you want, stick with it. If not, go elsewhere.
 
I have to second that, Psycho. Your style of writing could use a lot of improvement(Not that I'm that good, but hey), so can your grammar and spelling(Although that is easily fixed, using a word processor can be very useful if you have troubles with spelling(I know I'm going to take that up again)), but that isn't the major problem. The major problem is your character, it's great that you have one, and that you want to tie it in with Lone Wanderers, and any addition is usually a good one, but it has to be consistent with the Lone Wanderers setting. Which means that there is no WAY a superman comes in, he can't be like the characters you had in the games(Especially not Fallout: Tactics, from what I know, Tactics is completely ignored anyway), and he can't have a power armor either. If you REALLy want this character, I suggest that his power armor starts leaking battery acid, or pneumatic oil, making it inoperable, and forcing your character to leave it behind, and find some other protection. Same with the weapons, after so many years in the dust, it isn't impossible for them to start malfunctioning.
In any case, whatever you do, lose the equipment, and the superhuman idea. Everybody has weaknesses, and problems. And noone can be the slaughterer of thousands of men. One bullet can kill your character, and so can one accident. It's all normal here, PLEASE try to conform to those standards.
 
Ok, heres what I'll have him be.
weapons, 1 P-90 (a SMG with a 50 round clip)
Maybe a few grenades
Power Armour (but damaged, low on power so he has trouble moving, and the seam were the two sections of the torso armour go together was hit my an energy weapon, so he cant take it off, which is a major problem as he is about out of power and will soon be stuck in a metal tube)
