Why change the past when you can own this day?
The year is 2083 and there have been reports of mass kidnappings by the shadowy group called The Institute. This organization is akin to the boogieman to the people of the Commonwealth. Fear of themselves or a loved one being replaced by a robot called a synth is all too real and possible. On top of that the Brotherhood of Steel is amassing a huge amount of fighters as well as technology to stop and "Liberate" the people of the commonwealth. Groups like the Minutemen are stuck in between as well. All of this is a culmination of trouble for the people. This can potentially make a bad situation worse. One party wishes to eradicate the Commonwealth of it's "filth" and the others true intentions are vague. It's the people caught in the middle who will suffer the most. Where do you stand? Will you try to stop both sides of destroying the Commonwealth once again or will you stand with one side and help them achieve their victory? Or will you stand by the side and watch the world burn?
Rules:
TIMELINE: The U.S entered World War II with allied Europe to stop the Nazi regime and axis forces from conquering the world. On August 9th, 1945 two atomic bombs named Fatman and Little boy were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagaski, effectively ending World War II along with a tragic amount of life. After Little boy and Fatman were dropped, the U.S military as well as the nation saw the power of nuclear fission. The production of nuclear powered cars started as well as the military industrial complex starting development of the smaller and smaller nuclear generators. The nation began to use atomic energy not as a weapon but as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxuries thought to be unobtainable in the real world. America turned to fossil and natural fuels to continue with demands of living as well as some consumer products.
By 1969 the nation split into 13 commonwealths and for a while the nation was safer in the broad sense of the word. The people were now experiencing the "American dream" that they all heard about. The years until 2050 were peaceful and most objects that were invented were for good purposes or consumer productions (Wonderglue in 2016 and Nuka-cola in 2044)
IN 2002 West Tek Research Facility was founded for "Advanced Weapons" and "Biomedical Sciences Research"
In 2037 General Atomic international unveiled the Mr. Handy series of robots used for general construction, maintenance and personal house care. They were not faultless, however. In 2039 they suffered a bug that caused interference in the operation of the multiple arms, but was fixed with a hardware update, with no major problems since.
In 2051 Seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, the United States begins to exert increasing pressure on Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as a threat to the United States. Various economic sanctions serve to destabilize Mexico, and the United States military enters Mexico to keep the oil refineries running and making sure oil and fuel continue to make their way north across the border at Mexico's expense. The N99 10mm pistol becomes standard issue military sidearm following the phase out of the N80
In 2052 A television documentary revealing the withered husk of the Texas oil fields brings the oil shortage into American households and reveals how deep the energy crisis runs. On march 5 the socially transmitted "New Plague" arises, killing tens of thousands. The United States closes its borders and the first-ever national quarantine is declared. The source of the plague is unknown, but rumors persist that it is a genetically engineered weapon. In April the Resource Wars begin. Many smaller nations go bankrupt, and Europe, dependent on oil imports from the Middle East, responds to the Middle East's rising oil prices with military action. The long drawn-out war between the European commonwealth and the Middle East begins. Of May and July The United Nations, already suffering, begins to collapse. In a series of heated debates, many nations withdraw from the organization as the U.N. tries to keep the peace. On July 26th The United Nations disbanded forever due to multiple nations withdrawing.
In 2053 ZAX 1.0 goes online, developed by Vault-Tec.Initially a prototype of some of the systems designed to govern the vaults, it is given to the government to help the Department of Energy collect resource data. Within a year, it is taken by the military for plague and tactical research; one version, ZAX 1.2, would later be constructed for West-Tek. A nuclear weapon used for terror destroys Tel-Aviv.
ZAX 1.2 is brought in to regulate conditions in West Tek. It is not part of the Vault-Tec preservation software, so it does not have any orders to protect humanity after the bombs fall.
In 2055 West Tek starts working on a new virus to kill the New Plague. Their viral research and close ties to the federal government eventually lead to them being chosen for the Pan-Immunity Viron project twenty years later as well as power infantry and laser research.
In 2057 the Grand Canyon's 'protected' status is removed and Uranium mining begins, closing it indefinitely shortly after.
In 2059 the Anchorage Front Line is established, as the United States increases its military presence in Alaska to protect its oil interests. The Anchorage Front Line causes tensions between the United States and Canada, as the United States attempts to pressure Canada into allowing American military units to guard the Alaskan pipeline. The first artificial intelligence is born. Limited by memory constraints, its expansion is rapidly halted. The discovery paves the way for future A.I. research in laboratories throughout the United States.
By 2060 traffic on the streets of the world stops moving. Fuel becomes too precious to waste on automobiles, so alternatives are explored - electric and fusion cars begin to be manufactured, but factories can only make limited amounts while conserving fuel. The U.S. economy teeters on bankruptcy. Pressure on fusion research increases. The European-Middle Eastern War ends as the oil fields in the Middle East run dry. There is no longer a goal in the conflict, and both sides are reduced almost to ruin.The European Commonwealth dissolves into quarreling nation states, fighting over the remaining resources.
In the winter of 2066, China invades Alaska. The Anchorage Front Line becomes a true battleground.As a sign of increasing tension between the two countries, Canada proves reluctant to allow American troops on Canadian soil or allow American planes to fly over Canadian airspace. American and Canadian tensions rise, but Canada eventually backs down, and U.S. troops pass through Canada. This sets the stage for the Canadian annexation in 2076
Around 2067 the first suit of T-45b power armor is deployed in Alaska. While lacking the full mobility of future versions, this power armor is incredibly effective against Chinese tanks and infantry. Its ability to carry heavy ordnance becomes key in various localized conflicts, and it has the power to destroy entire towns without endangering the wearer. China rushes to create its own versions, but they are many years behind the United States. By this year, a Nuka-Cola machine can be found on almost every street in America.
2067 the United States' increasing demand for Canadian resources causes protests and riots in several Canadian cities. An attempted sabotage of the Alaskan pipeline is all the military needs as an excuse to finalize its annexation of Canada, which had already begun in 2067
June 3, 2072: Canada begins to be fully annexed by U.S.A. It is fully integrated by January of 2076.
In September 15, 2073 China becomes increasingly aggressive with their use of biological weapons, the United States government felt that a countermeasure was needed. The Pan-Immunity Virion Project is officially formed and plans are made to begin experiments at the West-Tek Research facility in Southern California.
2074 Contrary to their claims of seeking only to retake Alaska from the Reds, American power armor units, infantry, and mechanized divisions are deployed to China, but they become bogged down on the mainland, putting a further drain on American resources and supply lines.
June 24,2074: Negotiations between the U.S. and other world powers come to a dramatic end, with the president walking out of oil talks with the other world powers. After a much heated debate, the president stormed out of the meeting and declared that the last known supply of petroleum will be used exclusively by the U.S. and the U.S. will not sell or trade any oil to outside parties.
June 2076: Power armor prototype completed, resulting in the T-51b power armor. This is the pinnacle of power armor technology before the Great War. Many of these units are sent to China, and they begin to carve a swath through the Chinese forces. The Chinese resources are strained to the breaking point, and the supply lines from the nations China has annexed begin to break down.
2077
Gas prices sky rocket with the regular gas price being $7450.99 per gallon and $8500.99 per gallon for premium.
A Chinese sabotage attempt takes place at Hoover Dam
New Plague hits Denver. Rioters burn down large parts of the city in their fear of contamination and anger at their treatment. Many panic and flee the city by car, clogging the freeways when they run out of gas and trapping everyone behind them.
January 10: Alaska is reclaimed and the Anchorage Front Line is again held by the Americans.
January 22nd: The first domestic use of power armor within the United States for crowd and quarantine control. Units originally serving in China and the Anchorage Front Line find themselves fighting Americans at home. Food riots increase, and many civilians are killed. Several soldiers defect from the military both in Canada and the United States. They are captured and sent to military prisons.
October 23: The great war
The Great Blackout: EMP produced by the bombing kills unshielded electronic devices such as vehicles and other machinery. It lasts for an unknown period of time.
Rules:
- No godmodding and using an overpowered character. That means no fatman wielding indestructible power armor wearing soldier. No taking control of other people's characters. End of story.
- Allocate your S.P.E.C.A.L points accordingly. There will be no 21 point limit but do try to limit yourself. In other words no 10s across the sheet. Try to have three or four key skills (think of them as your Tag! skills)
- This is a Fallout RP so be familiar with the universe. The wiki is a great source and I have compiled a timeline of key events down below.
- Please make your posts 1 to 2 paragraphs long and let me or Simus know if you can not post. We're not assholes so I'm sure we'll understand. We want dedicated writers who can post often ^__^
- IF YOU EVER LEAVE THIS RP. I WILL FIND YOU, DRIP DRY YOU AND BATHE IN YOUR BLOOD. In all seriousness if you have more important things, you grow bored or you can't post let us know and we will place your character somewhere safe if and when you decide to rejoin us.
- Please be respectful to the other writers and keep insults to yourself. If we see you insulting the other writers, not following these guidelines, posting spoilers (OF ANY KIND) or just generally being a overall dick, you will be asked to leave. Of course, like in prison, we have a three strike rule.
- You can double up but pay attention to who does. Granted I'm tripling up but I'm managing it differently. If there are 15 members for a 4-6 member cast that is a problem. NPCs can be controlled as long the group knows and agrees.
- This is a bit odd but we expect to see your own characters. No using someone elses work. We want to see your own creativity.
- This is 18+ so there will be intense violence, sex and swearing but please don't be Lars Von Trier and make three volumes of sheer sex. Be tasteful about it in other words.
- Lastly have fun and get creative!
