You are a post-apocalyptic survivor!
« on: October 01, 2011, 12:12:16 am »

You were lucky enough to have an exceptionally strong and deep basement. The warnings had come and gone on the TV, and a lot of people disregarded them as tests of the emergency system. Luckily, you've played Fallout before and know just what to do in a post-nuclear bomb situation. Now, if only you hadn't gotten sudden amnesia and forgotten your name, your skills and the state you live in/country in north america and if in a country other than the United States name the providence/city/whatever it is. I expect not many people forget those things.

Skills!
Guns
Fists/other weapons related to FALCON-PAUNCH!
Lasers
Things that bash other things
Things that cut other things
Friendliness
Badassery
Medicine
If there's something that should be on here, speak up. I might add it.

My name is Cullen Gilvey, and I lived in what used to be the small delta town of Meridian, in Central California beside the Sacramento River.  As a mechanic, I worked a trade in repairing vehicles and agricultural machinery, even some of the boats that travel up and downriver; the quality of my work earned me a reputation in the area as a gifted tradesman. 

I have a Remington 11-87 semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun in the basement and a crate of shells, a complete set of tools, and a backyard piled with mechanical parts and decaying vehicles useful for salvaging.  Also a sturdy barn that can be easily fortified.  There's even some gasoline in cans under the workbench.

Any boat tied up at the docks I can hijack, or repair.

(Anybody feeling that?  Maybe too Cormac McCarthy if you're looking for Fallout!)

My name is Thomas Damker, and I lived in London before the bombs dropped. I was an officer worker, working day in, day out. When the bombs dropped, I was essentially fucked, but I managed to survive long enough to write this message. I managed to get a glock with five clips from a dead police officer, a lead pipe and a medkit. I know how to communicate with people quite well, so it may help in these dark times.

(I think London might be fun for once. No-one ever uses London in their post-apocalyptic things)

Oh, yeah. What am I, an elderly cat with Alzheimers? I'm Thomas Damker, who lives in London. Luckily enough, my salary at the office was good enough to afford a decent house in one of the residential neighborhoods. The nukes came and went, but the radiation sure didn't. Again, I was lucky enough to have a basement just deep and thick enough with a door that might as well be made out of iron to not get horribly killed in an instant. (Keep in mind that radiation takes weeks to get to a safe level to go outside, so you may not have gotten the equipment. You might have some weapons in the basement, though.)

Grab cards and hat and go down.

Look for items, hopefully some weapons.

Wear the Dapper top hat, check the gas pipes to make sure they are TURNED OFF (don't want any nasty surprises), grab the fake sword (if nothing else, we can use this as a BLUNT weapon, right?), count the chips, make sure the cards is a full deck, check what's downstairs.

You grab the hat and the cards (Which make up a full hand, albeit a terrible one) and wear the dapper hat. It looks rather dapper. (+5 persuasion!) You then search for weapons. The fake sword is about as sharp as a butter knife, but you might be able to club someone over the head with the handle. The gas pipe would be a much better weapon, but would require a bit of technical expertise to remove without causing a gas leak. Other than that, you can't find much. At the moment, you think it would be best to wait out the radiation. It'll take a week or two to get down to a non-deadly level.

Immediately run outside. It's common fact that radiation always leads to beneficial mutations.

I veto this, instead, we should hibernate if possible.
Have we eaten enough lately?

Just stay in for two weeks.  Wait for the radiation to subside, take the fake sword, head outside to look for food, you dapper fool, you.
