{IF YOU'VE PLAYED A FALLOUT GAME, SKIP THIS
UNLESS YOU WANNA KNOW A CONFUSING
SUMMARY OF THE FALLOUT LORE}

Hello there and welcome to a Fallout themed RP. For those
of you who've never played Fallout. Well. To sum it up, The
americans / russians & chinese {capitalist / communists}
kinda took war too far and nukes came into play. Before the
whole doomsday thing though, years before. After WW2 {1945}
The nuclear materials and such were used for sale instead of
war, so this created a boom in the economy, bringing to life
PIP-boy personal arm computers, Power armour suits, Laser
and Plasma weapons, Vast numbers or personal servant robots
such as Mr.Handys, Gutsys, Novatrons, some tripod rolling robot
thing that i've forgotten the name of. Yada ya, {Basically its a
dystopian future but its like 60's themed. Its incredibly difficult
to explain. If you have a games console or something, just get
fallout 4 if possible. it greatly explains the lore of the Fallout
Series}

But, all of that stuff ended on October 23rd 2077 when nukes
finally came into play, being fired at almost every major town /
city in the US, which was retaliated towards russia and china.

So pretty much
Bomb go *boom*
And world go *die*

But there were vaults built before the nukes hit, most were
designed as social experiments to see how long people
could last {be civil} in a doomsday survival bunker. Many
people reproduced and those who still live in a vault to this
day {somewhen in 2277 pretty much 200 years after the bombs
dropped, meaning major radiation has cleared but water sources
and some areas still remain radiated} Most of the normal creatures
like flies, scorpions, bears, etc. have been effected by the radiation
and have become much more bigger and agressive such as the
Deathclaw, one of the most harshest killers in the wastelands of
apocalyptic america which is thought to be a heavily radiated
decendent of a common lizard

ps. the dollars currency you once loved? yeah thats gone.
Bottlecaps have replaced it. You can sell your worthless
plastic / paper note things to any traider in the wasteland.
But dont expect much. most people {unless you're class is
a vault dweller} cant read. so books are useless. you can
trade those in too. if you're in need of caps {money} then
take up mercenary work or go kill some raiders and sell
thier weapons, chems, whatever. Just dont go begging.
That'll normally tend to get you killed in most communities.
if you wanna survive. you have to work. if you dont work, you
either die or get killed. its a simple as that.

Society is trying to rebuild but theres multiple classes:

Civil: Traiders, Settlers, workers, settlement defenders, Etc
{usually Unnessecary} evils: Paramilitaries, Mercenaries, Etc.
Sadists: Raiders, Outcasts, Bandits, Etc
Ghouls: Feral Or Domestic

There are major factions built upon these groupings.

- The civil grouping is explained by that one word.
They're a major group of humans who's decendants
survived the nuclear blast and thier kids
{a few generations ofc} have left the vaults to live
life in the burned out husks and ruins of the old
world

- Traiders {once again, obvious}
have companies or they're parts
of a caravan {group of wandering
traiders}

- {this class is more of an occupation}
Paramilitaries and Mercs go hand in hand They're
just looking for easy jobs to do that use normally
resort to violence but they {sometimes} get the
best pay depending on jobs.

- The Sadists Grouping mostly highlights on raiders.
They're the average unhinged drug abusing criminal
that thinks they can't die, even if a bullet is about to
enter thier skull, they kill, steal, yada yada ya,

- Ghouls - Feral ghouls are like zombies, Thier bodies
have decomposed and decayed over time due to the
radiation from the nuclear bombs, thier mind has rotted
away and they lose all reason, making them attack
anything on sight with heavy agression. Normally, as
long as the victim has a decent weapon and some ammo
for it, the ghoul will lose the fight. the problem is though.
like zombies, they travel in packs.

- On the other hand, The domestic ghouls are those who
weren't in the vaults when the bombs dropped {same with
the ferals} thier bodies have decomposed, blah blah blah,
but, thier brain stayed intact, meaning they look like a feral
but they act like a survivor. Most domestic ghouls are
normally civil, but some chose to be Raiders and Mercs

{just giving some goal ideas here}
Also, there is word that some people from Boston
{The Commonwealth} Were put into cryo chambers
in some vaults. But thats just another Myth... If you
really wanna know, you'll have to go to the vault-tec
HQ out in... wherrever it is, or actually go searching
through the vaults.

I'm getting bored of typing at this point and its
making me want to shoot my hands off so i'm
going to finish typing here and i'll continue this
in a bit.

Ok i'm back, F.O LORE ENDS HERE, I'M NOT TYPING
ABOUT THAT ANYMORE!

were killed by tampering of the cryo machines. But her's
and two others, had been left completely fine. Tam woke
up almost a few weeks or so after the other people. But
A fourth cryo chamber was open, a corpse lay stranded,
bullet to the chest. "Who the fu~"

After Managing to find a working Pip-boy device from
a container housing nearly 10+ of the portable computers,
She set off. Gun at the ready. Upon leaving, in the nearby
settlement, she was offered help and was told the entire

Background: (relatively similar lol, although I woke a few weeks prior.)

I walked to a nearby settlement, looking for an audience along with people wanting drugs, alcohol, or other substances. After a few performances, I collected a shit ton of caps, before heading back "home". It was miserable out there, but it was the best we had. I had lost my sister prior to the war, so I was a pretty quiet, angry individual.

It has been 2 years since I traveled alone in the unforgiving world, met alot of people, hurt alot of people, saved alot of people, to the point that I thought to myself, could this world be better if everyone just get along and work together?

It is a wishful thinking. The wasteland is a dangerous place, full of dangerous monsters that roam the dunes. If you're lucky, you will only loss your guts to survive. But ever since the Raiders are unto my tail, I had no choice but to leave New Vegas. I haven't thanked the kind people that helped me. Pains to say this, but I couldn't let themselves be in more in dangerous situation.

During my travel, I have heard about the Commonwealth. It piques my interest. It took me for at least a week to find a settlement they called Diamond City. It is like a fortress, with lots of people.

I ate my last meal, so I think this is the good chance for me to replenish my supplies. And also start the new chapter of my journey in the wasteland.

Diamond City - Market

The people here looks at me with leering eyes. For sure, it might be the way I am dressed.

There is something different that I can't quite put a finger into. This settlement is a bit more lively but also more strict, given there are guards with good equipment. The people are busy with their daily job and I have been seeing more children than back in New Vegas. Is it just me?

Anyways, I went to find this place called Diamond City Surplus. Some weird men recommended me to go there. When I indeed get there, I see a woman with black hair mumbling about something. Something about... Synth? She gives me some creepy vibes so I just do what I need to do.

For 25 caps though, what I get are Canned Dog Food. Heh, why not? I ate worse grub than this. She's been staring at my face for a while. Is there something on me? I could've sworn that I wiped my face with a towel. I am craving for a clean water for a while. I had to sacrifice 40 caps for two... Cartons?

I would have prefer to use my bottles but they are just fine. For now, I need to find a place to stay for tonight. Some people says that to go to Dugout Inn. I will be going there now.

Diamond City - Dugout Inn


Dugout Inn... Not a bad place to take a rest. The owner is quite a man with manners. He is really nice to his customers such as my self. His name is Yefim Bobrov. What I can say is that he is quiet, but knows what he is doing. This place is very lively because of the bar.

Yefim Bobrov allows me to use one of the bed at the cost of 10 caps for a night. In my budget, I say that it is a great deal for me. Of course I happily rented a bed so I can knock myself out for tonight.

It's been a while since I slept on a bed. It may be a couple of weeks but it's been like forever for me, given that I rarely get a day of having a great rest in the wasteland. I might as well find some new job tomorrow. I wonder what I can do?

Tam finally reached Concord
"the museum of history"

She smiled, looking at the decaying sign.
It was clear a fierce battle with raiders
took place here. but Tam wasn't going
to stay behind to find out what fully
happened. She pushed south for a few
hours until finally reaching diamond city.

"I remember this stadium...
god how things have changed..."
Tam sighed and quickly flicked
through the sattelite map on her
Pip-boy, marking the stadium as
*Diamond City*

MrAngelo [2733995]
Name: Johnny Blues
Affiliation (Faction): Merc/Gambler/Assassin
Age: 27
Gender: M
Description: 5'9, Slicked back black hair, blue eyes, mustache, wears a prewar suit, hat, and sunglasses when in any major settlement

Inventory: elite riot gear, .44 magnum revolver, the Lucky revolver, modded 9mm smg, several thousand 9mm ammo, 1120 .357 Magnum (or .38, same round basically) 1500 .44 ammo, pre-war suit, hat, and sunglasses.
Background: Nobody really knows where he came from. Rumor has it he's a courier from back west, maybe even the one responsible for the Legion's second defeat at Hoover Dam and then the NCR's subsequent withdrawal from the Mojave, creating an independent New Vegas. He's got caps falling out of his ass and there's even rumors he's got a chest full of gold bars and prewar money. Because of these rumors he's a prime target amongst raiders, despite the fact that not one of them has returned from the house he chose as home.
LunaKimXo [2738137]
"Right then... hello, Mr...
S~sullivan? is it?"
Tam asked, approaching
one of the officers.

"Whats up wastelander?
I can tell you're new around
here for damn sure..."
Sullivan replied, holstering
his pipe rifle.

"Is there a stage or something
in this city? and if so, do i need
a permit to use it for a little while?
and what do you mean?"

"Yeah there is, its near the Green
Monster... And how long you plannin'
on usin' it. And as per you being new,
nobody just openly walks up to a
Diamond City Sec. Officer"

"An hour, two at most"
Tam smiled, taking the
guitar off of her back.

"You should be fine then. I'll have
Officer Makenzie here take you,
concidering you're new around
here"

"Thank you"
She nodded then followed
the officer to the stage

"No prob'm"

A few minutes passed, Tam was
finally at the stage area, there was
a fixed microphone and some
re-wired speakers placed beside.

"H~Hello D.C! Guess the, stadium is your
home now huh, Alright... its nice to see people
out here rebuilding. uh. Anyways i have some
entertainment for those of you who need to pass
time. Some of these are new songs i've been
working on. Well. Had been before i was on ice,
but. thats another story. Anyway, I hope you all
like what you hear, a few caps goes a long way"

Jenix - Catch Fire
Tam then sat down on the stool provided, the sky
slowly turned dark whilst she played, the area around
Diamond City glowed due to all of the lights inside and
surrounding the city. The guitar and her singing was heard
through out the settlement. nearer to the stage and
surrounding zone, it was loud but nearer to the Diamond City
enterance, it played faintly.
MrAngelo [2733995]
Over at the bar, there was a rather loud bit of commotion as a poker game devolved into chaos and accusations of cheating, leveled at a man in a surprisingly well kept suit and hat. Guns had been pulled, but no shots had been fired yet.
LunaKimXo [2738137]
Meanwhile, Somewhere north, near
the main gate.

Sullivan slowly approached the men
as he hummed along to the guitar
being played in the other part of the
settlement. He approached with his
hands up but his wits about him.

"I'm unarmed... as you can see, my
rifle is on my back and i have no intention
of going for it"
He sighed then looked at the table, then to
the different people.

"Guns down gents... and this wont get
ugly... you lot do know that if a bullet gets
fired here, every security gun toting officer will
be outside in a heartbeat... If the guns get
put away, nobody has to go into a cell, What's
happened? who pissed off who?"
MrAngelo [2733995]
"Mister Fancypants over there is a dirty cheater! I put down my farm on this game, and there ain't no way he had that many aces fairly!" came the cry from one of the settlers, and the other participants murmured agreement. The accused simply raised a hand and spoke in a West Coast accent.

"Now Joe, I took off my jacket and emptied my pockets for you. You've examined the deck- I didn't cheat."
LunaKimXo [2738137]
Way Down We Go
- Kaleo {Slowed}


"I've just come in for a drink but you... must
be a Vegas man huh? nobody around here has
that kind of luck if this is the case... And you,
what the f~k are you doin' bettin' your life on
this damned card game anyway? this. This is
the reason i crack down on gambling so much
because of what it leaves with you people... God,
for once i'd just wish it that some of you had a
decent mind and wouldn't, BET YOUR LIVES AWAY!"

"I'll f~kin shoot'cha you cop bas~ard..."
One of the accusing gamblers stated, pointing
the pistol away from the suited man and towards
Sullivan

"Go on... we've both got nothing to lose... As i said
before... you pull that trigger and every officer will
be in here before you can even get to the door. So
go on... take the shot"
He stood there, Arms widened, readying to be hit by
a bullet

"One thing though, if you plan on shooting my officers,
the ones i've trained... you better not miss"
He smiled and readied his arm to move to the hip and
grab his pistol, but he stopped himself
SiriusHoward [2825287]
As I left, I decided to head to Diamond City, the settlement in Boston people were discussing recently. As I arrived, I stared at what I thought to be heavenly, a fortified settlement made out of an old stadium. I walked around, looking for caps and any other useful things.
LunaKimXo [2738137]
Back at the stage

"Thank you! Thank you, all of you. i've still got
a bit of time so if you'd wish for another?"
Tam smiled, leaving her guitar on the chair.
A chorus of cheering and agreement followed

"Alright... i'll go for another. but i'm
not singing for this one"
Tam then sat back down and began
playing the guitar, the sound kicked
out more louder than before, making
it so the whole settlement could hear
her playing clearly.
Sweet dreams -
Guitar Edition {Slowed}
LunaKimXo [2738137]
Tam stopped playing as soon as the other person
came in and stole the show, unannounced, she took
the small ammount of caps that people left for her
and she'd taken her guitar, then hopped off the stage.
"Alright... alright... thats just rude"


during the fourth song near the end,
Tam turned off the speakers and stared
down the other musician during his last song.
"are you seriously joking with me right now?! You
come in and steal the goddamned-"

She then looked at the other musician and shock took
over
"A~ Alex? i thought you were long gone? you weren't in
sanctuary or anything, nobody from there said they'd
seen you since you left not long after that other dweller
who helped set up the settlement... wh- what the f~
You... wh~"
She was left speechless

"I thought you would've hopped states..."
She sighed and looked at him.

"But seriously though, what the hell, i was here first"
She jokingly said, taking her guitar off of her back.
SiriusHoward [2825287]
I would hand her half my stash of caps, around 750-800, as compensation, before wrapping my arms around her and embracing my childhood friend. "Well, I'm alive. Yes, I almost killed myself once, but I'm here. As compensation, why don't you join me from here?"
LunaKimXo [2738137]
"you keep 'em. i'm sure i'll hatch up a
plan to get a certain something... i've
heard a few things about Jamaica Plain
and the stuff they were going to have
there, as you know when they had the
Ads showing. 'visit now before these
priceless artifacts are gone forever..."

She smiled, then walked back over to the
speakers and plugged them back in and
began to pluck at the guitar strings.

"You should remember this, i hope"
She sighed, as the plucks began to
turn into a tune, then she began to
sing
