Character's Name: Elliot Higgs
Character's Gender: Male
Character's Age: 22
Character's Race: Human
Character's Physical Description: Elliot looks the part of his past profession. He wears a sleeveless white shirt, however time has turned it to a light brown with some black smears from the Mojave and various repair jobs. He has a tanned complexion and white hair that hangs out in front of his brown eyes, much to his annoyance at times. Slung across his back is his bag which he keeps whatever he has recently salvaged or looted from the wasteland, leaving him to have to carry whatever weapons he plans to use to protect himself. On his lower body he wears long pants along with steel-toed boots.
History: "My history eh? There's not much to tell really. I grew up in a small town near a NCR camp with my dad where he taught me how to build and fix various things. For a time I sorta considered joining the NCR too but then I sorta shrugged it off and left home to basically do the same repair stuff my dad did, but on a more mobile basis. See the world, ya know? That was.... hmmm... About 8ish months ago and I'm not dead yet so I must be doing SOMETHING right eh?"

is my app correct? How much do you get for tagging a skill? I thought it was + 15, but...
And we have a lot of science people now :L

[Atnegam]

I can change from science if you think so. I just thought it would sorta make sense since my guy's thing is he can repair things really well and science just sorta came along from looking at tons of circuits and other stuff...

It's +30, it looks like you got everything else right though, that was the only thing. Thanks for taking care of that stuff for me.

I don't think that's too much of a problem, I think everyone who has the Science skill also has a weapons skill, so it's not quite like they'll be a whole bunch of useless Scientists all running around or trying to hide behind Max.

But I think these are the skills that would be useful, but no one has:

Explosives
Traps
Sneak
Pilot

Character's Name: Takoko
Character's Gender: female
Character's Age: 21
Character's Race: Human
Character's Physical Description:  Tall and imposing, with sharp features. She has grey hair, despite her relative youth and piercing blue eyes. Her right arm is covered with old burn scars from a encounter with a plasma-firing robot. She won the day, though, and it's optics hang from her belt as a trophy.
History: Technology prospector: scavenging through buildings for old tech, which she then fixes up and sells on. When her words fail, there's always lasers. Born in a small settlement, she left it often to scavenge the wastes. One day she just... didn't go back.

I'll be honest: that was the thinking behind my character, who coincidentally also has monochrome hair. Great minds think alike?

[Dwarmin]

Yeah I wonder if I made a messed up char by not choosing a weapons skill...

[Patrick Hunt]

Well my character is designed primarily as kind of the face of the group, the one who negotiates contracts and discounts on equipment. Gets extra money for loot we sell, talks hot single women in positions of power into bed.

Ok so that last one is more for personal pleasure then helping the group.


Hey Aninimouse I meant to ask, is it ok for me to have a suppressor for my rifle as well? I forgot to include it when I first said what gun I'd want.


It's all good Dwarmin, every good group has a meat shield non combatant that needs to be protected.

[Atnegam]

I aaaaaaaalmost picked explosives instead but it sorta felt like I would only be doing stuff like grenades and bottle cap mines. Am I wrong in that respect? lol

[hachnslay]

Lizbeth - (Played by: hachnslay)

... so i don't have any stats?
also: can i start with a Wattz 1000 laser pistol?

I am also surprised that nobody chose "Science, Speech and Barter"

[Aninimouse]

Well, I think you're the only one without, Dwarmin - So the others should be able to carry you.

If you do want to grab Energy Weapons or something though, Lizbeth has Lockpicking too, so that wouldn't be a loss. You are the only capable Doctor/Medic though.


And Patrick: I don't think I'll let you start with one, but we've three people with repair. I'm sure they'll be able to rig some sort of simple suppressors up pretty quickly in the grand scheme of things, so you'd probably only be a "Hey, do any of you think you could make a suppressor for this rifle?" away from one.


Atnegam: Using grenades and mines, yeah, even stuff like C4 later on - all of which are very useful and not-very-safe for someone with little Explosives skill to use.
Plus there's also the whole disarming of explosives thing, which could always prove useful.
(And, considering you're a mechanic guy, knowing about Explosives would be very handy in say - making explosives yourself.)
Traps would make sense for your guy too, setting/disarming traps and such. Probably not as high a priority as Explosives or Pilot though, and moving onto that - Pilot DOES include driving cars and stuff. Considering most people in the Wasteland have never been in a car, let alone driven one, it's not the kind of thing that would come easy to any of you without it.

... so i don't have any stats?
also: can i start with a Wattz 1000 laser pistol?

Oh, I think I was waiting to see if you were actually done with the sheet or not, because of how short the history part is - But if you're done, I'll get on that.

[hachnslay]

There isn't much you WANT to describe with a 2 charisma Ghoul.

[Atnegam]

Ok, so I'll probably switch science over to explosives and maybe small gun to either pilot or traps. Just the way I see it though, I dont really know how often we'll come by a car lol. Traps are a maybe but still feel a bit too situational imo except for maybe protecting camp for the night with tripwire grenades and such lol

[Patrick Hunt]

Hmmm yeah that works.

Well this will be interesting.

[Aninimouse]

Well, I pointed out Pilot being a skill that was important for at least one person to have, so it's probably safe to assume you will come across vehicles, I wouldn't be all "Yeah, this skill is totally useful.. SUCKEEER!"

They aren't as incredibly rare as they seem in the games, especially considering the world is to its actual scale now.


But Doom still has his skills to pick, so he could end up picking Pilot himself.

[Patrick Hunt]

Here's hoping we find an old army bunker that hasn't been raided. I could really go for a nice tank right now.

But I see one issue, the number of vehicles any use to us are very slim with only one driver considering most cars are designed for 5 or less. On the plus side the cars built for more are typically big and tough with plenty of space to adds little toys. Like gatling guns on the roof.
