Legends of the Mojave Wasteland (New Vegas RP IC)

Fallout New Vegas

War. War never changes.

When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults.

When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, form new tribes.

As decades passed, what had been the American southwest united beneath the flag of the New California Republic, dedicated to old-world values of democracy and the rule of law.

As the Republic grew, so did its needs. Scouts spread east, seeking territory and wealth, in the dry and merciless expanse of the Mojave Desert.

They returned with tales of a city untouched by the warheads that had scorched the rest of the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado River.

The NCR mobilized its army and set it east to occupy the Hoover Dam, and restore it to working condition.

But across the Colorado, another society had arisen under a different flag. A vast army of slaves, forged in the conquest of 86 tribes: Caesar's Legion.

Four years have passed since the Republic held the Dam - just barely - against the Legion's onslaught.

The Legion did not retreat. Across the river, they gathered strength.

Campfires burned, training drums beat.

Through it all, the New Vegas Strip has stayed open for business under the control of its mysterious overseer, Mr. House, and his army of rehabilitated Tribals and police robots.

You are a courier, hired by the Mojave Express... wait a minute.

That's not right.

You're most definitely not a courier.

In fact... Just who are you?

Oh, I see.

He sent you here, didn't he?

...Well whatever.

Ahem.

Now then.

Welcome to the Mojave Wasteland.

You may be confused.

Maybe even a little upset.

And overall, this might seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.

But the truth is... the game was rigged from the start.

I slowly pick my head up and look around. ".... ugh.... my head hurts... did someone hit me in the head....?"
I notice my voice.... and my eyes widen.

Clutching my head I slowly stood up and look around. "okaay where the hell am I?"

I bolt upwards and start looking around.

"Who are you!? Where am I?! How'd I get here!?"

-Hearing the sound, I roll to my feet, instinctively dropping into a crouch to make myself as small and hard to notice as possible.
-I glance around the room, checking first the ceiling: Is it going to fall?; the walls: What do they look like? anything I can get my hands on in case I get attacked? Exits: How many, where are they, and what are they? (Windows, doors, holes); the floor: How stable is it? Anything I can use?
-I check myself over. Injuries? Equipment?

"Hey, looks like your awake."

You turn in the direction of the voice and see a giant of a man, with greenish skin and goggles on his forehead.

You look around. You appear to be in some kind of... barn? Your laying on the floor on what seems to be the second floor, considering you can see the stairs nearby.

"Now, calm down. My name's Doc Mitchell. You're in Goodsprings, and I brought you in here when I found you on my doorstep, out cold."

I look down. "... oh hell, where are we... and why do I have boobs now..." I try to get up.

"What? AH HA! This is the start of Fallout New Vegas! I caught myself dreaming! Lucidity powers, ACTIVATE!"

1. I try to transform into an F-16.

2. I try to fly to Moscow.

3. I bomb the Kremlin.

-I check myself for any injuries and look for my equipment.
-Is there anything interesting on the room food?weapons?anything interesting?
-I cautiously go down the barn preparing to fight if I have to.

Alright... Where the hell am I nao? From my clothes and weapons, I'd say I'm not in the wheel of time universe again. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Least I'm still a girl. Right. Gotta get out of wherever I am.
-I grab the bag, checking what's in it.
-Try and quietly sneak out of the room.

I pat the creature on the head. "Nice mole.... rat?" I move my weight onto my elbows and sit up, surveying the room. Hmm. I pat myself down for injuries or supplies.

ACTION LIST:
-Get Up
-Check Room
-Self-Check

You manage to stand up, if a bit unsteadily.

"You all right human? As for where you are, you're right outside Jacobstown... and I assume you have breasts because you're a human female."

Doc Mitchell looks at you funny and writes something down on a notepad.

"Diagnosis; possible head injury."

You find yourself free of any injuries. As for equipment, you wonder why you would have equipment before noticing a large backpack that seems to be filled with stuff.

From your position, nothing except the backpack and bed catches your eye.

Grabbing the backpack, you quietly head down the stairs with your fists out.

You grab the backpack and open it to find...

• x2 MRE (Size: 1 each)
• x1 Lighter (Size: 0.5)
• x1 Roll of Medical Tape (Size: 1)
• x1 Stimpack (Size: 0.5)
• x1 Purified Water (Size: 1)
• x1 Combat Knife (Size: 1)
• x10 Bobby Pins (Size: 0)
• x1 Radaway (Size: 0.5)

You slowly inch your way to the hole in the wall about a meter away. Taking a glance around, you spot someone heading down a set of stairs. It' a young looking male. He hasn't seen you and you manage to sneak out. The light outside is blinding in comparison to inside.

You manage to stand up.

It turns out you're actually outside.

You are in good condition with no injuries to speak of.

Ow. Bright. Bright light. Goddess damned sun. Ow.
-Continue moving as sneakily as I can, I still have no idea where I am, and I don't want to end up on the bad side of anybody just yet.
-See if I can climb the side of the building. Might be a good place to try and check out my surroundings.
-If I can climb it, then do. If not, check for trees or large rocks, and climb one of them

"Dammit! I hate it when dreams are uncooperative. May as well just go with it then. Say Doc, did a Courier pass through here with a gunshot wound to the head?"

Eh. I look up at the sun, trying to gauge the time. I turn to the mole-rat thing. "Here, come on. Might as well come with me since you have no idea where you're going." I try to enunciate my words with gestures that it should understand. Then I search for anything useful nearby. I look over the nearest surroundings to get a better idea of where I am.

ACTION LIST:
1. Look at time
2. Gain companion: mole rat
3. Search for gear or stuff that's useful
4. Determine immediate surroundings

Wait a minute why the hell am I going down without checking out the backpack first.
-Open the backpack and check it for stuff
-take out a weapon if i have one
-listen for any noise or sound on the ground floor.
-sneakily and cautiosly go down the barn go down

I try to steady myself, and I try to get a look at what Im wearing.

'...fallout verse... shit.' "...Right, sorry, I think I got hit on the head to hard..." I look up at the super mutant towering over me, with no little amount of fear.
".... Im not in trouble... am I?" I look around the area quickly

Success, there is no one outside to see you sneak around in broad daylight in an open wasteland where a person can see you from mile away.

You could climb the side of the building but you risk it breaking. Climbing down is also an issue.

You attempt to climb the side of the barn, using the various holes in the wall as footing.

Failure

You manage to climb about five feet before the piece of wood you were hanging onto breaks. You fall backwards onto your back.

He adopts a thoughtful expression.

"A courier you say? Hmm... now that I think about it, I did hear about a courier being killed in the graveyard up the hill nearby. Poor kid."

You notice you're wearing something on your left arm. It's a pipboy. Examining it, it tells you the time. 10:07 AM

Unfortunately, it seems he prefers to stay here.

You look left and right and notice a large backpack sitting next to you.

You appear to be in a small town of sorts. Some of the people on the road are looking at you strangely, as though you popped out of thin air or something.

You stop going down the stairs and open the backpack. You find...

• x1 Bedroll
• x1 Lighter or 1x Match Box
• x1 Handheld Flashlight
• x3 MRE
• x2 Rolls of Medical Tape
• x1 Doctor’s Bag
• x2 Stimpacks
• x1 Poncho
• x1 Combat Knife
• x3 Purified Water
• x15 Bobby Pins
• x1 Mini Food Sanitizer
• x1 Frag Grenade
• x2 Radaway

You grab a Katana that was strapped to the side of the backpack.

Critical Success

You hear what sounds like someone sneaking around. It sounds as though it moved outside.

Neutral

You make your way down making about as much noise as any amateur thief.

You're wearing a simple loose, white shirt, made of durable fabric and a pair of very short denim jeans. Whether or not it can be considered fashionable is anybodies guess.

He looks at you oddly.

"Trouble? Why would you... Oh, I see. Not to worry, all the Mutants here are friendly. Just as long as you don't stare at the Nightkin for too long."

I nod and smile. "Ok then... Names heather... seeing as I dont have anywhere else to be right now... mind if I stay around and do some scouting of the area?"

Actions: introduce myself to the locals
Look around the area for locations of intreast.
see if anyone needs help
She if there are any lootable areas.

...Yeah. Not one of my better ideas. Why did I think to do that again?
-Dust myself off
-spin around in place
-Stop randomly, and begin to walk in that direction.

Looks like someone else is here.
-Get ready to draw the katana if I have to.
-Go outside cautiously and see other person.

"Yes! That makes me the main character! So that means... You want me to sit in the other room to ask me some questions, and decipher some rorshack pictures so I can pick my skills, then ask me to use the vigor tester to check my SPECIAL stats! Right? I've gone through dozens of characters, I know the drill!"

Ooh, cool a pipboy! I wonder if it gets radio. I flip through the various features, like health, and stuff. Then I decide to rummage through my backpack before anyone steals it. You never know. Well, actually I could go find out. I head for the nearest person who knows what they're doing. "Hey, how are you? Could you tell me where I am, and why everyone's staring at me like I just popped out of thin air?

ACTION LIST:
1. Check various pipboy features
2. Search through backpack
3. Talk to knowledgeable looking person.

"Feel free. And try not to do anything that would reflect negatively on your actions. The rules here are the same as any settlement."

You walk around introducing yourself to the residents. Most simply grunt in response while the nightkin try to ignore you as they repress their urge to kill you for staring. One of the nightkin however, responds positively. She calls you her granddaughter and is generally kind.

There are a bunch of small bungalows nearby, as well as a large lodge.

No one outside needs help.

The bungalows are most likely inhabited by the super mutants during the night. Do you steal from them anyway?

Neutral

You do so.

You spin around and around and around and around. Guru Guru Mawaru~ Guru Guru Mawaru~

You stop. Looking to the pipboy you suddenly realize is attached to you arm, you notice your facing east. You begin heading that way.

You ready yourself.

You climb down the stairs and hear a thud. Surprised, you stop for a moment before looking outside where the noise came from. You spot a black haired girl wearing a pipboy heading off away from you.

"Err... right..."

Confused, he decides that it would be best for his sanity if he simply went along with the madman's ramblings.

"Would you... walk on over to the vigor tester for me? I've got to check if the damage to your brain affected you."

It's got everything. The time, currents rads, health, status, what you're carrying, etc.

You rummage through your backpack to find...

• x1 Tactical Backpack
• x2 MRE
• x1 Lighter
• x1 Roll of Medical Tape
• x1 Stimpack
• x1 Purified Water
• x1 Combat Knife
• x10 Bobby Pins
• x1 Radaway

"Er.. well, you're in Sloan. And where in the world did you come from? You jus' popped out of thin air!"

I continue heading east. I wonder what else this watch thing can do.
-Head east
-Check out what features that the watch has.
