Definition of meta gaming: Meta gaming is taking knowledge out of character, and using it in character with no real means for your character to have that knowledge ICly. Also the tunnel snakes suck, they don't rule.
Definition of power gaming: Power gaming is when you force an action upon another player.
What is your past experience in RP, Fallout or otherwise?: I've lost count on how many years or how many server's I've been enlisted in. I used to have my own post apocalyptic roleplay server a few years ago like Ruined World and Year 2065 or something like that. I've been an administrator on a few as well. I've been roleplaying on GTA SAMP (Red County RP), as well as Xbox 360 RP's on the GTA games though console RP is way too difficult so I just stick to RPing on computers. I'm into heavy RP so usually when my mood is good I do just that. I don't know why RP is in bold but okay. BlueScope will know me. Sup buddy.
IC:
Name: Cody Holloway
Age: 23
Appearance: Black combat pants, tattered undershirt and brown hair.
Personality: Ignorant, cautious, loyal and hard working. He's built settlements from the ground up and doesn't like to take crap from anyone. He's seen enough people come and go which made him not like to get attached to people. He isn't quick to trust but is one of the most loyal allies one can ask for.
Backstory: (You asked for it)
Your character's story so far:I was born and raised in a small shanty town called "Taipei". It was a small and dirty town llike all others. There were kids for me to play with most of the time and the towns folk were friendly. Up around the age of 13 I told my dad that I want to go out side the town walls. Go on an adventure some day. and he said "Son, one day you ARE going outside these walls, and you'll find the unimaginable out there. But theres something I need to teach you first" and that's where I picked up my basic fighting. He trained me for a year and a half so I could hold my own. I would practice day in and day out training myself, and with my father for that time. Around 14 since I had set my goal at such a young age. I worked for some money so I could buy gear when I'm ready to leave the community. I knew that time wasn't near but I wanted to be prepared. So for two years I worked for my money in a local Merchant shop cleaning the place. It wasn't fun but If I wanted to leave I had to. I would check stock, some times be in the store on my own, cleaning, and when something broke the owner would teach me on his spare time how to fix things. I learned some skills during my time there. Talking to people, learning the tricks of the trade. I met many people. Some better then other's of course.
But then, in the middle of it all. Tragedy struck. My mother had developed lung cancer. I think she had it for a while but the symptoms weren't there until she was older I suppose. It was like my world was spinning. I mean, she's my mother after all. How could I not care? She was always there for me when I needed her. Day in and day out. She was sick and in bed most of the time coughing, sometimes blood. It was heart breaking to see someone in so much pain. I didn't think she was going to die, figured she would come out of it like everyone usually should. But not this time. This time it was different. She only survived 2 months after. And we had to put her to rest. My father and I were distraught, but we had to carry on. We knew that we couldn't just stay in the past. We had to continue forward. So almost everyday from then I knew I had to make her proud.
I kept working as hard as I could until I had hit the age of 18. And yes. I mean still working in that little shop. Of course I took any other odd job that was around back then. Looking after animals, running errands, helping teach at the school. I took anything really just to get another buck. By then I was ready to explore the world. I took all my money I had saved up and went to the merchant I worked for. I bought things like water, medical supplies, a baseball bat, a spade, some food, and a sleeping bag to keep me warm at night. I said my goodbyes to my father Nathan and everyone in the town. And went on my way.
It was pretty scary at first. Not knowing what was out there. I thought there were a lot more people. I looked in all directions and there was just......Nothing. Like my town was the only thing for miles as far as the eye can see. So I headed in one direction and walked for several hours until finally I came upon a small settlement. I think it was called....Fort Glen. Don't know why. Didn't look like much of a fort. I met some people there though they weren't that friendly either. If I hadn't told them how long i had been walking they would had kicked me out of the place. I restocked some supplies. Stayed the night and was on my was the next morning. I don't even think anyone knew I left. I didn't take to any specific direction to go in other then the one I had just walked from. But on the way I found this spider like creature, I knew it didn't look good and I was right. Within seconds it was running towards me full speed so I got my bat at the ready. At first it jumped at me and I didn't expect it, I was knocked down almost within the blink of an eye. I used my forearm for protection and it crunched down on it, I screamed in pain but I knew if I just sat there I was dead. So I kicked it off, it came at me again. This time it didn't jump and I had a clear shot. I swung that batas hard as I could and nearlytook its head off. It wasn't dead but pretty close. It wasn't in any condition to move so I ran to a safe distance, took some medical supplies out of my satchel and began treating the wound. I noticed that my arm was broken and cut up bad. So I used some disinfectant and splint and carried on to where I was going.
You wouldn't believe what I saw. This place was HUGE. I had never seen a town so big in my life! I had come across Las Vegas! There were still some neon lights working around the city still it was amazing! High class people and a really nice town! Thankfully there was a doctor there to patch me up for a price. Real sinister looking guy too I mean he looked just like he came out of one of those old films. But looks can be deceiving. We spoke for a bit during and after he fixed me up. And was actually a family man with his own house just outside of the city. I told him my story and he even let me have a drink of some water he had around. I stayed there for about four days or so. That way I would have time to heal up. The place was beautiful but I just couldn't stay. I mean to come all this way to stop here? Not going to happen.
I met some pretty bright characters during my time there. One of them I remember. Went by the name of Shotte Latte. He said he got the name from shooting a drink right out of someone's hand! Said something about the person disrespecting him. Man the measures people will go through for such little things. If I were to go on, I would write for hours! But. I just don't have the time, nor the patients to do so. I packed up once again and left the glimmering city.
After I left I walked through the desert until night came. Though by that time I had found my way to some mountains. Where I spotted a cave. I took my flashlight and baseball bat and ventured in for shelter. My arm was still a bit beat up, so I was really hoping nothing was in there. Probably wouldn't have won the fight if there was. I was pretty surprised that there wasn't though. The cave didn't go very far in, so I set up camp and rested the night. In the morning...Well you know the story. Kind of like a broken record with me I suppose.
Some time later I came upon a guy named Danher. He made a very small place he ran by himself. He offered if I could move in and I accepted. I built my first house there. Hell that's where everything started. We lived in the same.. Well tiny town for a few weeks. But then raiders attacked us. I made it out. But he didn't. I went back a few hours later and they were gone. So I took over. I stockpiled up on supplies like metal scraps and pieces. And built up walls and an entrance. To ensure that it would never happen again. Then a stranger came by. I spoke with the man for a bit before letting him in. Good thing too. I offered for him to stay if he wanted and he accepted. I gave him Danher's old house. What a weird name..."Danher".. Not a name I have ever heard of before in my life I kept expanding on the town until I had made an inn. Some houses and walls high enough that you'd probably die if you fell off.
Eventually I actually made a roof over the town. Which was perfect. Like a private community to live in though it probably wasn't a good idea in the long run. You could certainly see the place from every direction. By this time about five people or so moved in the town. And before I knew it I had a community! My own town with people living inside of it! I had become mayor. A few weeks pass and.....Danher came back.. I couldn't believe it. I wasn't sure to attack him or talk to him but..He wasn't himself.. He looked decayed and distorted. I don't remember what he said or how it happened. But..Yeah... I let him stay, but before I knew it he starting trying to kill people in the town. And I had to kill him myself. So when it was dark, and no one else was around. I confronted him and we initiated battle. He didn't put up much a fight. As his hand fell off giving me an opportunity to strike. Look at me.. I'm babbling off again.. On wards towards the present.
That town. Which I called Petrova. Got raided a few months after I killed Danher. It was blown to bits. I tried to fix everything but the damage was just too much for me to handle. The occupants of the town left and I was all alone. I had no other choice but to leave. So I went off to start a new town. I searched for around a week or so searching the wastes until I came upon an old small settlement. Pre-war too. It even had it's own Nuclear Reactor! I couldn't believe my eyes it was absolutely untouched. The town had no walls around it. No protection. But it had complete possibility for it's own power. So I moved into one of the houses. It had a hole blown out of the side, so I fixed the hole and lived there. I took the items I had with me to build the walls. At least then I felt a bit safer.
A guy by the name of J came by and he seemed to be sane, even a bit intelligent, I let him in after a brief conversation and he was in awe of the place. He was fascinated by the reactor and the fact that it was still intact, let alone almost running. He offered to help repair it so power could be restored and within a few weeks we had figured it out. With a lot of hard work and dedication we were able to repair it.
Just like last time, people came and went. Moved in and moved out. Even after all of this I eventually left myself. I gave ownership to my friend "J". I must have been walking around for a few weeks when I came upon an old vault. It had three small "apartment" like things to live in. An incinerator, furnaces, it's own greenhouse. This was the first vault I had ever seen in my life. I wonder if all vaults had those things? When you walked into the lobby there's a glass floor under your feet. When you looked down there was a fully grown tree underneath. I found that quite amusing. My room had a fireplace. Storage area, bed, kitchen, you get the rest. Fit for a king. Two of three rooms had that, don't know why the third one didn't. Beyond me... But then out of no where. And I do mean no where. My friend "J" showed up. I was surprised as he was. He left the town the same as I. The odds of us meeting up with each other was extremely low. He was also out exploring. And I told him about my recent discovery. I told him to live with me in the vault. After all; I would probably go insane living in that thing alone. We lived in the vault and maintained it for a few years. He moved out. And not long after I did the same thing. I don't stay in the same place too long. Guess it's in my nature. Who know's though. People change right? Just like everything. I'll have to cut this short. So the bottom line here is. I have run over three towns, kept people in secret. Became what no one would have ever expected. Met more strangers then a hooker, covered more land then an Eagle. I've been through a lot, seen things like you couldn't even imagine. And it's only getting started. Thank you for reading. Though you probably shouldn't be. Unless you found my journal....
In a recent Admin meeting we have concluded that for the first few days of the server one of us will be in charge of the city. This will be considered an RP event. Once and if I fall a new player mayor will be instated. Please not that this person must be trusted by all of the staff, as the city is a huge responsibility. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Cody, once the admin mayor falls you will have fair game to mayorship. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Hokay, so. For the prebuilt city we're going to need a mayor. He/She will have to be predetermined so there isn't some giant cluster-eff about who gets what. Once the mayor is chosen and once the server is up, he/she will have total control over the city. They get to decide what buildings go to who, so on and so forth. Who will be the mayor? Reply to this post saying "I" if you would like to apply for the mayorship. The mayor will have a weeks worth of early access just to get acquainted with the city and try to figure out a plan. Once everyone has applied the admins will talk it over and pick the best candidate.
Going to look odd with a little random small town thats prebuilt and everywhere else just in shambles.. I know the city is going to be ruined but you know what I mean.
Any x-ruined world fellas who can tell me if its worth it here?
I guess its just me and you. Personally I think you should check the place out for yourself. We could have some fun TP together and pillage the out of people or something. xD I built an underground city again.
