There really isn't much relationship between the plotlines in the Fallout games--heck, Fallout 3 and New Vegas take place in different parts of the country than the first two games, so you definitely don't need to have played the first two to understand the plots in those. There are some tenuous links between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, but the latter game takes place 80 years after the first one, so those links really aren't that important.

Having said that, if you can't find a character you like in Fallout 1, you're not likely to be able to find one that suits you in 2 either, since they use identical RPG systems.
