overview.
War. War never changes. In the year 2279, spliced somewhere between the Project Purity success in the Capital Wasteland and the inevitable Second Battle of Hoover Dam, Americaโs Midwest has made quite a name for herself. In the heart of it all, Chicago-- a once vibrant and bustling capital, The Windy City-- has been struck down and built back up at least three times by now. Nearly a hundred years ago, the outskirts of Chicago were tamed by the rogue Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, and the locals there whoโd survived the last Battle of Chicago. Since then, the inner city has been attempted a dozen times over to be claimed once more.
Known Raider clans have stripped the land and staked themselves where most inconvenient, making the city itself a war on the streets. Above ground, however? With Chicago being the birthplace for skyscrapers, and although most were flattened in the Great War, those that remained became highly sought out positions of power. Successful attempts to settle in these great skyscrapers has yielded a power dynamic of sorts, not unlike the lords and ladies of yore who sat atop their grand castles overlooking their vassals and land. In such a way, Chicago citizens designated themselves with such titles, and before long slavery became the norm as to reap the land and defend the streets against the Raiders who were not leaving anytime soon.
The Eastern Brotherhood has cut off contact with the city, nestled in their outskirts, though some reports do speak of sightings of Brotherhood scouting parties, looking for something.
The Enclave lurks, remnants deposed from the Capital Brotherhood's swift decimation of them posed somewhere Northwest of Illinois. Little is known about them.
You areโฆ someone from somewhere, stuck in the middle of it all. Perhaps youโve got a family, or no one to miss you, but by some stroke of luck or misfortune, you have found yourself kidnapped. Enslaved, really. Along with six other individuals, trapped in a cage, our RP starts with waiting to be bought. Or killed. Or to escape. When a wealthy Lord from Chicago makes himself known, and buys your โfreedomโ, itโs made clear that this is not simple catch and release: heโs got a purpose for you, and the most that anyone can do is bite their tongue and expect the worst.
Turns out, the worldโs got a lot more surprises up its sleeve.
roles

the ten ton feller
open
Strength is your highest trait. A heavy hitter, you are a commanding presence and deadly in close combat. Whether or not leadership is your strength as well remains to be seen, but at the very least you know you're the steel brace holding any disorderly group from breaking into several piles of bones and viscera. All you've known is guiding others, be it towards ruin or towards greatness. It's time to make a stand, and see what winds can knock you down. Gender is not determinate for this role.
the lone star
open
Perception is your highest trait. Far more aware of the world than it may be to you, you work better alone; anyone else just proves to be more of a distraction in the busy, busy world around you. Excellent in intuition and quite the observer, empathy is second nature: it just depends if you want to use it or not. You notice everything including people, traps, and suspicious circumstances. Does anyone listen to you? Probably not! Gender is not determinate for this role.
the atom bomb baby
open
Endurance is your highest trait. Whether youโre a runner, a lead belly or just pure resilient, nothingโs gonna stop you! The wasteland's your wonderland, and whether it be the unyielding barrage of enemies or the constant rads you've sucked all your life, you're a force to be reckoned with. Nothing can get you down, as it seems, though it's a matter of your character reflecting just how invulnerable you are to the people around you. Words can hit twice as hard as a punch. Gender is not determinate for this role.
the devil in disguise
open
Charisma is your highest trait. Sweet-talking or scarily intimidating, you know how to sway a wary mind and convince the most stubborn of men. With the gift of gab comes with it a number of unintentional consequences, be it a history of lying to those you love and never really knowing who to trust. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, as they say, but if your own defenses are twice as high... is anything even genuine? Is it better to be feared, or loved? A poker face may win a hand, but it'll never win you a real friend. Gender is not determinate for this role.
the lil' einstein
open
Intelligence is your highest trait. Be it that youโre a doctorโs prodigy, a budding scientist, or a skilled hacker, the world is your oyster! Brilliance has been your defining feature for most of your life, as a darling prodigy or a loyal protรฉgรฉ. All you've known is the technical side of life, but what is between the lines? What happens when you open your eyes to the world, and the people, that are not so easily definable in a textbook or holotape? Perhaps they fascinate you, or maybe they disgust you. Regardless, life proves to be one experiment that you cannot redo even under the finest of control conditions. Actions are irreversible and theory can be quite, quite wrong. Gender is not determinate for this role.

Agility is your highest trait. Light on your toes and quick on the draw, youโve got the surest shot. All you've done your life is fight, fight and fight. Running is second nature, though you'd like to think that you're just as loyal as the guy next to you. There's always somewhere to be, someone to see, and settling is far from your radar of life goals. Yet, seeing the world moving around you and being unable to stop means one thing: you lose sight of what you've loved, and what you will love.
the fortunate son
closed
Luck is your highest trait. Wherever youโve been, whoever you are, somehow and some way youโre still alive. Youโre a walking miracle! By the skin of your teeth you've made it this far in life, but it has not been without its rewards and its consequences. There's a skill required to sheer dumb luck, and it's evident through you. How far does luck take you, though? When do you start to run out of chances, and when do the dice start rolling ones?
rules
rules.
rule one.
First and foremost, obey any and all RPN rules and etiquette. Fallout has a bit of murky morality in it, but do not include anything that isn't appropriate for the site here. Also, in terms of OOC, respect each other. You don't have to have a doctorate in Fallout lore, and don't be an ass to those that need a little elaboration. DISCORD IS MANDATORY. No, we will not make an OOC thread here on RPN. Sorry! 18+ ONLY!
rule two.
As stated, this is a Fallout RP. However, we want more character driven dynamics than pure fighting or bulk of manpower. This is about the world, the aesthetic, and the fun of roleplaying in the Fallout universe. GMs hold final say on our decisions on disputed canon/non-canon sources, mostly for the sake of our narrative here. The plot will be unfolding overtime, with more than enough mysteries to discover. As well, we want the plot to be chosen by YOU as well, so whatever dynamics and characters we get will definitely determine what happens.
rule three.
Characters can be loosely guided by the descriptions provided on their roles, but do not have to solely abide by it. REAL FACECLAIMS ONLY, save for if you want a ghoul, then go ahead and use art but please have it be realistic. Apps are NOT first come first serve, and if there is a circumstance where multiple roles are sought we will pick what we deem best to represent said role. More details will come in the thread! Please ask any questions if they come along!
