[FO:E] FallOut Equestria Interest and Possible First OOC Thread

[Chaotic Bob]

You know, once people get past those low level quests, they seem to just forget that sometimes, things really can just be tucked away in a tree trunk, rather than behind an ugly boss battle.

Gwendolyn did all the low level quests in her past, she's in the big leagues now.

This is Fallout: Equestria. They probably would have land mined the doors again the moment we left, then when we came back because we couldn't find the caps, BOOM. Or they'd have shot us as we left. Or they'd have run off, grabbing the caps from a different stash. Et cetera et cetera.

You've also been bragging a bit about your evil GMing, Bob. So naturally I'm going to assume you're trying to trick/trap/kill us with something innocuous like that.

[Chaotic Bob]

Evil GMing isn't all about actual traps.
Sometimes it's offering the answer and then counting on character hubris to deny it in favor of something worse.

[Lycan 01]

And Heimdalr just probably killed Lucky's plot hook.

This scene just gets better and better. ~groan~

[Rebonack]

Better than the plot hook killing/mutating the party!

Further hooks can always be created. And this one didn't seem terribly talkative to begin with. Really doubt he would have been particularly forthcoming with any information.

[Terry576]

You know, writing techno/magibabble is really fun.

Hee hee. Anticular rail.

[Drowlord]

I'm interested in joining. Before I write up my pony, I'd like to know if it would be possible to have a family of pegasi trying to live in the wild, because that is a part of my backstory that seems sketchiest.

[Dark Elf Bard]

That's exactly what Eledwhen the filly pegasus started out doing! Long-lost family, anyone?

[Drowlord]

You know, I was thinking of joining Eledwhen and Luka, and trying to come up with motivations I found that having her be relatives with her would be a good way to have my pony come into the group.

Name: Elestre

Race: Unicorn with much Pegasus ancestry, faintly descended from Bat Ponies.

Cutie Mark: A book, its pages open to show red letters on the outside.

Virtue: Loyalty, although it is on the border of being Discordant.

Appearance: There is an inside and an outside.
Outside (what every pony sees most of the time): A pure white colt, about thirteen years old. Is very serious-looking most of the time. His mane is slightly yellow but mostly white, and his tail is as well. His eyes are pure blue. Looks somewhat handsome. His horn is silver.
Inside (what he is really, and when his illusion falters): An incredibly scarred, starving-thin colt, whose tail is almost cut off and whose mane is full of grey dust. What little natural coat color there is left appears to be grey, and his mane is naturally black. His left eye is swollen shut, but his right eye is an impressive green. His horn is shorter than it should be, and it is silver in color.

Faction: He aspires to be a member of the Twilight Society.

Skills: He is incredibly skilled at illusion and beguilement magic, having trained in them since he was two. He knows very much about the geography of Equestria. He also is skilled at defensive magic, since he needed it to survive in the wilds. Lastly, he is very apt at using just about anything as an improvised weapon.

Equipment: A very few caps, a collection of books from before the War, a rope, a deck of cards, and a strange moon pendant from his ancestors.

I'm going to explain his backstory IC. He's going to turn up in New Appleoosa.

[Dark Elf Bard]

I think it would a very cool plotline to have a long-lost relative!

[MCerberus]

I would have posted early, but then I took an hourlong grandmother call to the knee...

[Luka]

....You put him right when Luka and Eledwhen were going somewhere else to do something =S

[Dark Elf Bard]

Eh, he could join up. Or they could run away, as the ponies who killed Eledwhen's father, raped and killed her mother, and scarred her wing were white unicorns.

[Drowlord]

Oops. Well, that might not be good for his early relationship with Eledwhen. I'm sure he'll make up for it, though.

Luka: Yeah, he's just going to follow you for a small while, pretending he's just acting normally. Sorry, didn't mean to cut in too badly.

[Dark Elf Bard]

So, brother and sister, cousins, uncle, how are they related?

Also *pokes* Cerberus to Ditzy Doo, or whoever's controlling her right now.

[Drowlord]

I was thinking that they would be cousins, although anything works. He should resemble her to some extent.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Cousins are good. Maybe, a birthmark on their belly to help their resemblance?

[Drowlord]

I think that works. How about a crescent moon?

[Dark Elf Bard]

Perfect. Eledwhen has a necklace in her backpack, it has a little crecsent on it as well. Her birthmark will be a black crescent moon on her belly.

[Drowlord]

Glad that works out. I was also having a moon theme, although completely unrelated. Odd.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Lovely. Now someone post for Ditzy.

Or Finder.

Whichever is convienient.

[Luka]

Luka: Yeah, he's just going to follow you for a small while, pretending he's just acting normally. Sorry, didn't mean to cut in too badly.

It's K

Also *pokes* Cerberus to Ditzy Doo, or whoever's controlling her right now.

Rebonack's controlling her

[Rebonack]

Technically Ditzy Doo is an NPC. Up to anyone to control. I've just been doing it because no one else is =P

[Dark Elf Bard]

Can you do it now, or would you rather someone else?

[Rebonack]

Okay.

So.

Some players wish to keep track of their caps. Totally cool with that.

But if it is going to work we need to decide on what 'fair' prices for common goods are. Lower values would probably be best because lugging around thousands of bottlecaps with you would be silly =P

[Dark Elf Bard]

5 for an apple. That's all Eledwhen will be buying. Besides filly-sized armor.

[Luka]

Luka would be buying both armors for him and Alie and ammo for his pistol, I guess it would be at around 400 caps or so, at "fair" price, I think.

or maybe it would end up costing 300 if instead of a new armor for himself, he buys the components to turn his stable suit into armored stable suit....Yeah, the last one seems more cool

[Tychris1]

Lamianos is looking for a Big Ol' Flamer (And maybe either the Rocket Pod or the Grenade launcher. I'm a big Steelhooves fanboy with grenades.), not sure how much it'll cost but he's been venturing round the wasteland for a good while and has procured a hoard of caps to maintain his high tech armor.

Maybe some scrap metal for the spell matrix to use.
