[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Oct-31-00 AT 09:48PM (GMT)[p]OOC: To make it easier my character is named neo. Is anybody using the name neo? I hope not.
IC: While reloading his revolvers, Neo looks out the window. He sees a raider, holding a girl, run into the building across the building Neo is in. He then sees two raiders follow the kidnapper raider. Two seconds later, a swearing man jumps into the window (ouch) to save the little girl. Gunfire goes on inside that house. Neo sprints across the road and opens the door. Neo opens the door just as Aleho gets shot and goes unconscious in the doorway. The little girl screams.
OOC: This is real cool cause you experience the battle by five different views, which adds more chaos to the already chaotic battle.
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Nov-01-00 AT 04:45AM (GMT)[p]OOC: Character Description
Name- Neo Rabon
Age- 23
Sex- Male
Hair Color- Brown
Eyes- Brown
Appearance- Average height, weight and build

My character is wearing civilian cargo pants, survival belt with holster, T-shirt with a pre-war company logo (cyberdyne), a black leather trenchcoat, Oakley mirrored shades and a durable gecko-skin backpack. Neo is wearing leather jacket for armor.
He has a very high luck attribute and is the charismatic type. :-)

IC:
Neo crouches and fires off all six bullets into the raider who had the sniper rifle. (The guy who shot Aleho). Neo unslings his backpack and pulls Aleho back inside the building for cover. While telling the girl to stay down, Neo pulls out a stimpack and injects it in Aleho. The stimpack will take a minute or two for it wake the unconscious man. Neo yells to the girl, “I’m here to help you, let’s get to the safety of my house (shack)”. He quickly explains where it is. The girl, scared of this stranger, doesn’t say anything. Neo drags Aleho to the end of the street, where his one room house is. The gunfire has died down a little because of many dead raiders. As the duo (Neo and the girl) travel down the street, the helicopter flies above and explosions are going off everywhere. A lead raider on a horse comes racing down the street. With one hand holding Aleho, and one hand holding his revolver, he pulls the trigger as fast as he can at the raider. The little girl starts sprinting to Neo’s house during the distraction.

Neo pulls Aleho and runs to quickly grab his stuff from his shack and get the hell outta there. But because of his high luck, he trips on the ground. A second later, a raider throws a motoliv cocktail in his direction (that he would have been, if Neo were still running). The motoliv cocktail hits Neo’s shack instead of him, because of the poor skill of the thrower. Neo’s shack quickly goes into flames. The girl unluckily was blown back the explosion. Neo yells “AWW SHIT”. He quickly checks the girl’s pulse. Her pulse was normal. Somehow she had not taken a bit of damage……I guess luckiness is contagious. Remembering the raider, Neo pulls out one of his revolvers. If you can remember he emptied out both of his revolvers at the two other raiders. Neo hears a click. SHIT! He rolls behind cover. While rolling, a wood board acts like a lever, which breaks a part of a burnt shack. That causes the shack roof to cave in which causes the house to fall on its side. Miraculously, the entire shack falls on the raider. With all that luck, Neo just has to smile. Behind the cover, Neo hastily reloads his guns and the girl fearfully peaks over the cover, looking for her parents. Neo then exclaims, ”Hey did Aleho just move? Aleho are you awake!”

OOC: I know my character would not know Aleho’s name, but to make it much simpler, pretend he had a badge with his name on it or something. Why must I always mess up and have to edit. Love your story, guys!
 
ALho: hhh I ... THisnk ...so Harkl... Damn it hurts.....
Neo: Good I am Neo By the way *start reloading*
Aleho: Mmm...ok
Girl: SCreams IIIIIHHHH!!!! *a raider stands up aiming a hunting rifle at Neo* "bye Motherfucker"
Neo: (thinks) I am fucked.... *as the raider is going to pull the trigger Alho draws the 10mm Blam The raiders spins around with blood coming from his face.....
NEo: thanks Aleho....
Aleho: nothin.... *tries to get up * AAhhh falls down again.....
Neo: U'll need medical attention fast if u are going to make it.....
 
Max grabs his leg i pain, then looks up.
max- Will, hey will!!! i thought id never see you agian. Thanks for the memorial.
Will- how...how did you survive!!
Max- well its a long story...After I told you guys to get out I managed to get my self up and hop down the hall, I stumbled into a supply room were there were thick metal Boxes, probably used for carrying weapons, I rememberd when Greven and I were in the control center, reinforcements were going to be coming to the base. I was counteing on them to dig through the rubble, so i hid in the box, the explosion went off, luckly i survived, but i was stuck in the box for like two weeks, another stroke a luck there was food stored in the box. Soon they came and dug up the place and got me out, I finaly managed to sneak away and found myself here. Basicly the whole thing was a stroke of luck!!
 
Will shakes his head.

"They must have had oxygen tanks in there too. How did you get enough air."

Max shrugged. "Believe it or not, there was an air recirculator in the box. Must have been to keep the food fresh or something like that.

Just then, a pair of men jump into the building, one running backwards and firing a pair of six shooters. Will looks out the window. A raider is chasing them. Will aims carefully and shoots the man in the neck, decapitating him.

Will-"Amazing what a thirty-ought-six round will do to a man."

The man with the six shooter looks at Max.

"Who are you two."

Will points at himself.

"I'm Will. This is Max."

"Great. I'm Neo. This is, uhhh."

The other man butts in

"Aleho."

Will nods. "Well, nice to meet you, I guess. Can either of you tell me what's going on?"
 
IC: “I might have something useful.” Neo slowly sits down and pulls out a stimpack, nuke cola, holodisk and a device nobody in the group has seen before, out of his compartmentalized backpack.
Max asks about the device they have never seen before was. Neo takes a big swig of his refreshing nuke cola before saying

Oh...that,it's was a possesion of my grandad's son or something when he was in the protection of a vault up north. He was in Vault 45 or something. I don't know what's happened to the vault. Anyway, it’s a mp7 player.

OOC: Here is a link to the picture and explanation of the MP7 player I have designed. Please check it out, I made it to show you guys this invention. http://thisismycoolmp7whoa.homestead.com/index.htm

IC: Neo then injects the stimpack in his arm (he got roughed up a bit when fighting). After the pain of the needle fades, he feels the stim’s incredible healing power. He closes his eyes to let the stimpack to fully kick in. After a few seconds he stands back up and asks “Does any one have a pip-boy. I found this holodisk a couple days ago in the bar. It might have some important info.” Neo looks hopefull at the guys.

OOC: This is awesome!
 
OOC: If you are running out of ideas, maybe the hideout could be in the abandonded Vault 45. If you have a better idea, post away. :-)
 
>OOC: If you are running out
>of ideas, maybe the hideout
>could be in the abandonded
>Vault 45.

It could even be a secert vault which has never opened before. Maybe his grandfather was an early scout or something. :-)
 
OOC: What hideout, i've checked through but can't find a mention. Maybe this'n is missing posts like so many others are reputed to. Well anyway

IC: "I do," Whispers Fang from behind the door. He enters and hands a pip boy forward. Neo gratefully accepts it and runs the disk through it. He glances down at the screen,
"What?" Fang asked

OOC; Sorry i don't have much to write here, just want to let you know Fangs still here. And i apoligise if this makes no sense because i can't make much sense of it myself.

I didn't and don't really understand what you
meant in the above text. This is from post 3. I meant the hideout of whatever bad guys (?mutants?)you were talking about. Oh well. Sorry about the confusion. Something else can be on the holodisk. Let's just get on with the story. :-)
 
Will looks out the window. The armored behemoths and raiders were tearing each other to pieces. Will shook his head. Best to just let them fight it out. The helicopters had disappered a moment ago, and Will did not expect them to return.

Will says to everyone in the group, "Who the hell are these people?"

Aleho coughs. He raises his voice. "I'm pretty well traveled around these parts. The raiders are called the Caballos. They are a huge clan that prowls the border. The men in the power armor are Santa Anna the Second's men. He's a rogue BOS captain or something like that. They're the powerhouse group in Mexico. They always are patrolling the border. For some reason, they hold a terrible grudge against any Americans, even though they themselves are former Americans."

Will-"Yeah. I saw his name under some message that was threatening America."

Max-"Why should he hate America? America was destroyed in the great war. There is no more America."

Aleho shrugs-"He doesn't care."

The gunfire stops. All the raiders are dead. A metallic sounding voice calls out.

"All clear. Let's report back to base."

The armored men stampede away.

Will looks back at everyone.

"What's our next move?"
 
Suddenly...

OOC:I havent been able to post 4 a while, so feel free to use Greven if ya need to.
IC: *As the jet black Cobra 'copter spins around in midair, looking for a good landing sight, greven notices that all gunfire has stopped, and then, seeing a good landing spot, signals to his co pilot to land. Greven takes his full metallic suit out his storage box and suits up, then grabs his M-16 and plasma rifle. after he is suited up he heads out into town to see what the problem was.* (Enters the bar) So, what the hell was alla that?

And as the Smg is empty Reptile draws two Silver colored pistols and start shoting at aleho, that jumps in cover behind the bardesk, Reptile takes a Knife from his forearm holster, and jumps after but as he dives through the air aleho kicks the knife away and avoids Reptile....

RE:out in the desert....

Will notices Greven in the bar. Will talks to Max real quick.

"Max, make sure he stays calm. He's been doing a lot of drugs,"

Max nods, and also notices Greven,

"Small fucking world, huh Will?"

"Yep."

Will walks over to Greven and shakes his hand quickly and firmly.

Greven-"Never thought I'd run into you again."

Will-"Well, as Max said, it's a small world."

Greven-"What's going on here?"

Neo walks up besides Will, and taps him on the shoulder.

Neo-"Who's this?"

Will-"Greven. He's with the New Texas Army."

Greven-"You can ask me, you know. Who are you."

Neo-"I'm Neo."

Greven smirks-"Well Neo, do you know what's going on here?"

Neo-"Those guys on the horses were just local raiders. Those guys in the power armor are way more dangerous. They are a splinter faction of the BOS that wants to destroy America."

Greven sighs in exasperation.

"Christ. Can't I ever catch a break!?"

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Nov-04-00 AT 09:22PM (GMT)[p]OOC: Oh yea Will, you’re East coast story is my one of my favorite stories out of all the books, message boards, and magazines I’ve read in my life. I really admire your work. Too bad you don’t have more fan fics on the boards. If you have more than the two on the fan fic board, PLEASE tell me! Your work is godly.

My character’s likes and dislikes are below.

Likes: Relaxing while sipping on a nuke cola and listening to his MP7 player (pre-war music is very scarce). Making the world a better place

Dislikes: Slavers, Raiders and anyone else with negative karma

Also my character is a native to this town and region. His grandad came from a vault above the border though.

Long post ahead. I worked hard on this (3 hours straight). Please give suggestions!

IC: After talking to will and noticing the physcopathic actions of Reptile, Neo quietly walks outside with the little girl. Neo sits on a bench outside and says, “Where are you’re parent’s house?” She shows him an area about three minutes away.
Neo walks down the street. Accidentally stepping on a charred B.O.S. member, he remembers how he could use some better firepower than his crappy revolvers. Neo scavenges the versatile and formidable M-16A2 assault rifle from the only dead B.O.S. member (the armor was destroyed by a lucky plasma grenade).
Halfway to her house, Neo takes the following from raiders: two silver and shiny M92 Berettas (awesome pistols), a frag grenade, a couple stimpacks, and ammo for his assault rifle and new pistols.
The pair sees the girl’s house in sight. Thankfully, it is totally intact and not damaged at all. She runs the last fifty feet to her house. She pushes open the door and yells “Mommy I’m home…Mommy where are you” The girl then screams. Her scream is abruptly muffled. Hearing that Neo sprints to the house and stealthy goes through the window. Knowing whoever was there would think Neo would go through the door. Pulling out his new M-16, he switched the selector switch from full-auto to three-round burst. Thinking about it, Neo could not accidentally hit any of the people he was trying to protect so he switched it to single-shot. Crawling thought the living room/ bedroom (people aren’t rich in the wasteland) he silently opens kitchen door. Peeking his head over the door, he sees nothing. Wondering where they could be since this was a two-room house, he double-checks the house. He climbs on the roof to get a better view. Neo sees their barren back yard. It only had two very small shacks. Guessing one was an outhouse, which are very common in the wasteland, Neo starts to climb back down, but a high rank raider comes out of other non-outhouse shack holding a woman. Neo guessed it was the little girl’s mother. Two men were yelling from the shack to let her go. The raider exclaimed something in an unknown language. Later Neo was told it was Spanish. Neo not knowing if these people were bad, but knowing that raiders are bad, he decides he should take a shot at the raider holding the woman hostage. Neo adjusts his crouched stance a bit and fires. The .223 bullet hits the man’s skull cleanly, not hitting the scared and frightened woman. The woman dashes back to the shack. The two men close the door.
Neo quickly climbs down the building and opens the shack door. Nobody’s was there, except for a set of shelves which were filled with broken stuff. Neo again thinks where the fuck did everyone go. Pondering back to the time on the roof, he realizes that four people (the raider, the woman, and two men) could not of fit in the cramped shack. Neo looks down on the ground and lifts up a mat. “Yes!” screams out Neo. A small manhole sized metal door was on the ground. There was no lock or handle to open it with. Inspecting it closer, engraved was “Vault-Tech” and “Personal Suburb Home Vault”. (Don’t worry, this is not vault 45) Neo remembered someone told him that there were some families, which had fallout shelters in their backyard. Neo then also saw the words “The resistance”. It was crudely chiseled out quite recently. It looked like someone also didn’t like the splinter B.O.S. faction, who controlling the area. Without a keyhole to lockpick or a handle to open, the only way to open it would be to use a welder or high-power explosives. Neo knew Fang would probably have some explosives. ……More like definitely have some. Neo smiled.

Neo had to tell the group about his new discovery. Neo ran down back to the building the group was in, but at the smell of smoke he remembered his shack. Quickly running up to his shack, Neo sees how from the looks of it from outside every thing looks burnt up. Seeing how only one wooden board is still burning, he quickly puts the flame out. Inside all his stuff was burnt up. Neo tries thinking optimistically about how most of it was junk.
All he had was his weapons, his armor (a “Harley Davidson” Leather Jacket MK.II), and the stuff on his back. Inside his backpack was a map of surrounding area, tons of Nuke Colas, Meat Jerky, a Cookie.
After searching for a while, he find’s his two waterproof green U.S. military ammo boxes (the things that in fallout two that held 5mm). He guessed he could also add fireproof to the box’s title, since they were the only things that did not burn up. He stored his most valuable possessions in those U.S. military ammo boxes.
The first box was taken up by books, which were from his grandfather’s vault. It was filled with 6 very old and worn paper books, which were made right before the war. It contained “The Art of War”, the book version of a popular 2776 action movie, a long chapter book, a Shakespeare book, a pocket-sized dictionary, and a hundred page hardcover 5th grade reference book about animals (useless but VERY, VERY,VERY interesting for wastelanders which have never seen animals. I don’t think even the B.O.S has even seen a zebra before.).
All this books allow him to have higher than normal charisma. (Notice that these are not math, science, or medical books, so he doesn’t have super intelligence).
In the second military ammo box is $750$, his grandfather’s vault 45 dog tags, a flashlight, a strobe light with broken lightbulb, “Desperado Casino” deck of Cards, a few small energy cells for his beloved MP7 player, a magic 8-ball, and his concealable Switchblade (goes in a special undetectable pocket in his “Harley Davidson” Leather Jacket MK.II armor).
He puts the two U.S. military ammo boxes in his gecko-skinned backpack and walks back into the building where Reptile went crazy for a while.

OOC: Could you give suggestions to my writing please. I have only been on this message board a few days. Otherwise this story rocks.
 
Reptile: Chough... *the effekt of the Jey has gone over by now and he is in quite bad shape but he reloads one of hes Beretta M97s

Aleho: what is it....
Reptile: i am sorry.. i didnt know.... i mean...
Aleho: no problem so we be friends now then or???
Reptile: yes does u know if he could escape alive .. he who did it u know....

your posts seems to be quite well done Neo i like them they gives the story a lot of deep....

Reptile
i am not a english native so forgive me for my language in all my posts....
 
IC: On the way back, Neo remembers how exceedingly terrible the designs of personal vaults were.

OOC: (Neo does not know all this info, but I’m telling you) Government tests were done in the 50s and families would only live for a week in personal vaults, that companies designed and built. After the results were published, only fools still installed these shelters. Home bomb shelters are still being sold today though (mostly on Internet). Who ever built that vault would not of made it to even see the mushroom cloud to dissipate. Fools will always be around, thus so will personal bomb shelters.
Thanks for the input Reptile.

IC: Neo bursts in the door of the building. Everyone turns in his direction and Neo tells the group about what has just happened.
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-00 AT 00:38AM (GMT)[p]ooc-You sure you aren't talking about William, Sarge? Me and him are different people.

ic-Will sighs. He motions to the barkeeper.

"Get me a cigar."

The man nods and returns a moment latter with an old, Cuban style cigar. Will flips the man a pair of coins. He pulls a lighter out of his pocket, and lights the cigar, He takes a light drag from it, and lets the warmth comfort him. He rubs his forehead.

"This is getting to damn complicated. If there is some sort of resistance, you'd have to be mad to join them. A bunch of men with rifles and pistols aren't going to do much good against this Santa Anna guy and his men."

Neo-"You're right about that. Home-fallout shelter kits don't come with weapons. But it might have something in it that can be used against the BOS."

Max walks up, limping on his gimp leg.

Max-" I'd like to see this shelter if we can. You never know what might be in one."

Greven nods.

"I would like to see if there is anything in it that could be useful to the New Texas Army."

Will shrugs.

"O.K., I guess there's nothing wrong with taking a quick look."
