The character I'm currently playing just doesn't cut it. I'm going to write a new one, so feel free to kill the ghoul (or just forget about him altogether).

Cool, maybe someone will stumble across my priest, don't be afraid he doesn't act pious at all.

I'll deal with the ghoul. How about we make him an NPC for everyone to use and abuse ?

Arthgon · **Posted:** Wed Jan 06, 2010 11:27 pm **Post subject:**

Wolfbane: What about making this ghoul your new character's companion?

Zanza: Simon has been found by Gregor, and Uncle Dave, and brought into the settlement. (or would you rather be found by one of our characters?)

I do have a question: In which time are we playing, before, between, or after the Fallout Series? (Fallout 1 and 2)

So I understand you don't approve of turning this little town into a bloodbath and/or using the spare ghoul for that purpose ?

Wolfsbane · **Joined:** Nov 11, 2005 **Posts:** 4257

Do what you want with the ghoul. I won't be playing him anymore, anyway.

That sounds fine Arthgon

I'm gonna play Harry from now on. He's a Brotherhood outcast whos only concern in this world is to hate and kill mutants of all colors and kinds. Harry doesn't look like much, but he's as strong and tough as a seasoned soldier. He knows his way around meele combat and is an expert marksman with handguns. His biggest flaws are his bad temper and accute lack of patience.

I was thinking of jumping in on this, but after having read through the role-play, I can only conclude that Arthgon should be forever banned from the role-play forum. Congratulations buddy, you pretty much single-handedly wrecked this thing with your poor writing and ham-fisted attempts at introducing new story threads that could never be fully explored or wrapped up even if they were worth exploring.

Each night, they came on their weird, mutated carnivorous camels, and many townsmen slaughtered. Luckily, we stopped them each time. Finally, after some years of battle, we crippled their wicked army very good.

*facepalm*

That post about the camels was very wrong indeed, so I deleted it. The other plot line about the reanimator can be wrapped up. Sorry, but I really try to write it down in very good english.

The_Bob · **Posted:** Mon Feb 01, 2010 11:48 pm **Post subject:**

Let's just go ahead and introduce some heavy-handed destruction into the plot instead.

Also, good intervention Jungle Japes.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:22 am **Post subject:**

Alright, I shall do my best to write much better now.

Jungle Japes · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 8:54 am **Post subject:**

How's that for heavy handed? Problem solved.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:37 am **Post subject:**

Could you remove that post jungle japes? So that my characters can leave the settlement for good.

Perhaps was my story-line a bit too much. I promise that I shall write better next time.

Holy shit. Japes, that's HARSH.

This isn't Arcanum, Arthgon. This is the post-apocalyptic American wasteland. Civilization has not rebuilt to the point of having the kind of social and legal structure that would call for a private investigator. You want something done, you hire a bounty hunter or mercenary. Not a PI. And regarding the rest of your worthless back-story, the trend in medical science in the wasteland is not invention, but rediscovery of pre-war tech. Have you ever even played Fallout? Because you seem to be having a hard time keeping it in context.

The only way I could think to salvage your character is to write him off as a psychopath who thinks he's a PI after reading too many mystery novels, then kill him before he can get any more out of hand. I think this role-play has some potential, and it would be a shame to let you ruin it.

So unless the admins disagree with me, the post stays. You want to stick with this thing? Study up on the world of Fallout and come up with a reasonable supporting character that can mesh with the rest of the cast. He doesn't have to be the coolest, toughest, most badass gunslinger the world ever saw. Just someone that adds to the story.

The_Bob · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 5:58 pm **Post subject:**

Throw him to the weird, mutated carnivorous camels.

If you insist on being some sort of investigator, try playing as a water caravan scout, or otherwise an agent of some merchant guild.

Assuming there's something bad brewing in the desert, having merchants scout for safe travel routes and destinations makes sense.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 6:06 pm **Post subject:**

What about this? John Clark is actually a psychopatic mercenary, who have read too much mystery, and horror stories (Herbert West-Reanimator). He is using this story about the dead, to distract people from his real mission: Take revenge on BoS, and kill that traitor who is the brother of the sir. John Clark killed the man's father.

Is this much better, so that you delete your post?

PS: I want to keep my character, and I shall write in the spirit of the world of Fallout.

No. As I said before, unless the admins decide otherwise, John Clark is dead. Try something else.

Also, I'd like to point out that we are on the American continent. Not Africa. So hyenas and camels are out of place. Let's try to keep these things in mind.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 8:17 pm **Post subject:**

I forgot to tell you, that Sam, and the camels originaly came from a zoo. After their mutation they escaped from there by killing some of the zoo keepers. (they got help from a misguided girl's scout.)

(a very plausible explanation)

Let me guess, you already made up a lot of this PI story and refuse to give it up just because we think it sucks ?

I suppose we could go around the democratic way and have a vote on whether to kick you out or give you another chance... I don't mind the part about zombies though, I like the prospect of bringing about a zombie apocalypse on the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Anyhow, I vote in favor of keeping Arthgon around for now, and urge everyone else to resolve this quickly so we can resume playing.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:33 pm **Post subject:**

This is just an idea: What about changing John Clark and Sam in two psychopatic mercenaries with Fallout character backgrounds, and replacing my earlier posts in the RPG to make it look better in the Fallout world?

Jungle Japes · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:36 pm **Post subject:**

OMFG. He's like the guy that joins the church choir, can't carry a tune in a bucket but sings louder than everyone else. And nobody has the heart to tell him he sucks and shouldn't be in the choir, so he continues to bring the whole choir down. Well I hate to be the asshole here Arthgon, but you suck. Your story telling and writing ability are on par with a 6-year-old. Forgive me if I'm not reassured by your repeated assurances that you'll do better next time, thus far they have all been followed by more fail.

Anyway, far be it from me to show up in the role-play forum and start trying to run things my way. If the rest of y'all want him around, great. If that's the general consensus, I'll delete the Mysterious Stranger post and John Clark PI and his talking hyena can continue blundering their way through this otherwise cool role-play.

John Clark is a closed chapter in my book. He wasn't a very good character to begin with, and his death was too awesomely timed for it to be undone.

Arthgon, whip up a new character and join the game again. It's not the end of the world.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:41 pm **Post subject:**

Height: 6'4

Scars and wounds: Scar on his left side of his face, and missing the half of his left hand through an ambush of the BoS. (Graham betrayed him, and became later sir.)
Profession: Mercenary

Pros: Knows how to fight with any melee weapons, and with his fists. In addition, he can sense trouble or danger before anyone else does. Because of his army training, he is good in surviving in any kind of environments.

Cons: He is very charming, arrogant, and most of all he is a psychopath with multiple personalities.

Weapons: Long knife, and a Colt Python pistol.
Armor: Bulletproof vest under his brown suit.

Name: Sam
Age: Unknown
Race: Awakened and Mutated Hyena (Yes, this is in the trend of Fallout)
Profession: Mercenary, and companion.

Pros: Strong and tough, charming and intelligent.

Cons: Cruel, and has a taste for Human flesh.

Background History: After a long life in a small cage in a zoo, among others, Sam mutated, and awakened after some radiation struck the inhabitants. Using his charm, he convinced some girl scout to let him free. The girl opened the cage. Now free, he killed some of the zookeepers and the girl. Looking for a way out, he fled to the east. Along the way, he met Edward, and became a mercenary as well.

Mission 1: Kill the traitor sir Graham, and his henchmen.

Mission 2: Take revenge on the BoS.

PS: Can I keep Sam, please?

BTW: Should I trust the translations of Google Translate?
