Alright, so here are the rules.
1. Try to make your character interesting. it doesn't have to be a Shakespeare level character, but "random merc" won't cut it.
2. I know fallout frequently uses some very adult themes, but I'm going to try and stay away from that.
3. Please don't argue or harass other players. I.e., no trolling.
Basic character creation:
This will all be based on the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system. if you do not know what that is, here's a rundown. (Note: no skill can be lower than one or higher than ten).
Each letter in special stands for something, listed below.
Strength (Determines climbing ability as well as some stats and whether you meet the strength requirement on a weapon. It also determines carry weight. I.E., how much you can carry.)
Perception (Determines whether or not you spot enemies, traps, etc)
Endurance (Determines Hit points and damage taken. You multiple by 10 to determine level one, then just add on the score from then on.)
Charisma (Only determines skills.)
Intelligence (determines skill points received when you level up.)
Agility (Determines how fast you are, jumping ability, and how fast you draw your weapon.)
Luck (Crit chance, amount of loot found, and influences gambling games.)
You receive 20 skill points at the beginning of the game to allocate to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. As you level up, you take addition skill points each level. Instead of putting them in your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats however, you put them into these skills below.
Barter Proficiency at trading and haggling. Associated Stat: Charisma
Energy Weapons Proficiency at using energy-based weapons. Associated Stat: Perception
Explosives Proficiency at using explosive weaponry, disarming mines, and crafting explosives. Associated Stat: Perception
Guns Proficiency at using weapons that fire standard ammo. Associated Stat: Agility

Each point in S.P.E.C.I.A.L. means 2 points in each stat, with the exception of luck which is divided by two, rounded DOWN and applied to all stats. You can also "tag" three skills, allowing you to raise it by 15 immediately.
Items:
Items will be found throughout the game. At the start, you can pick one apparel, two weapons(One ranged and one melee), and 5 bits of misc stuff. On the weapons there is a strength requirement. If you are one point under, then you can use it at an accuracy penalty. If you are three points under, it cannot be used. We will not be playing with skill requirements. ou all start out with a Pip-boy 3000a, Which has a Geiger counter.
