War War Never Changes.They finally fucking did it. The bombs fell not long ago. The world is over. No more people. Just shambling radioactive corpses. No more nations, just glowing craters, dust, and shadows of people that once were. No more seasons, just nuclear winter. Shopping? No such thing. Have fun struggling to find a drop of water or a crumb of food that won't kill you. The RADS oh god the fucking RADS, inescapable and everpresent. Truly the end of the world. Rapture maybe happened and whatever is left...well, most people are quickly giving up on God. Kinda hard to keep believing when the world ended, and you were left behind. Except for the zealots, anyway, but those guys are crazy as the cannibalistic raiders.That isn't even getting into all the weird shit that keeps happening and becoming. Makes you wish it was 'just' a nuclear winter. Walking corpses. Mutants. Inexplicable anomalies. Unnatural terrain. Strange whispers that you aren't the only one hearing. Honestly, it just keeps getting worse...especially with everything you have to do just to 'survive'. Living...living is just a luxury that only the pre war world got to enjoy. You meanwhile, are just another poor sucker caught up in this clusterfuck, trying to survive.(This quest will be ripping heavily from games like Fallout, Metro, Stalker, and Bioshock basically anything that fits within the setting theme to keep things interesting)>Character Creation You may choose any trait from any game OR include a custom option that may be vetoed by me IF it's too unbalanced. Custom traits MUST include both positive and negative effects otherwise, it's an automatic veto.The first character will be a young male because this is about a dynasty over the generations. So long as you have a living family member the game will not end however, your characters can and WILL die over time. Anyway the last character DIED without offspring, resulting in game over, so now it's a restart with some adjustments. So here we go again. I wasn't joking about the difficulty...

Both of which are still somewhat in a state of shock due to the sudden end of the world, and the likely death of their parents which were visiting family in Arizona. (Additonal characters are Jorge Anderson and Victoria Anderson.Jorge being a semi nerdy Jock who played football and learned about power armor mechanical repair, since he aspired to join the military just to wear one, and Victoria being a full on nerd that was trying to get into STEM, and was actually enrolled very early in university, but now lives kind of aimlessly since her entire future now kind of blew up in the most literal sense.)>tagged skills SurvivalRepairSmall arms>Date since bombs fell6 months. most of the worst of the rads should have dissapeared by now while still keeping the land mostly untouched.>custom trait: body gamble"You are build different! Possibly incorrect. Your immune system is very relaxed around genetic mutations, so if you suddenly grow a third eye, dont panic! Downside is you are also prone to cancer, so be sure to check yourself regularly and know a good doctor!"
(I do not see why it needs to be a male start since female led dynasties are also a thing. Dont worry, i didnt add the two adopted kids as an already existing pool of heirs, only to add flavour and experience to my starting pick)
>>6338391Mainly for insurance due to danger male characters can easily sire plenty of heirs making game over far more unlikely. Which is vital for first mc. Now after first mc you should hopefully have enough spare heirs available so it stops being a huge problem and will no longer matter.Also interesting to go straight for a mutant trait. I'll allow it. Though keeping in mind with a trait like that staying pure is gonna be a lost cause. Meaning besides the obvious inherent risk of mutations have even decent compatibility with old world goodies is gonna be a lost cause among other effects.
>>6338462Forgot to mention pregnancy is also a big concern but due to being a SPECIAL character that is partially mitigated. Still not good for the baby though.Also purity is easily lost and practically impossible to reaquire especially among offspring. Once gone it's gone for good also effects future gens. Same with mutants unless you are sterile like FEV mutants. but suffice it to say there are reasons why even centuries later you have such powerful factions obsessed with it. Its effects go beyond maximum compatibility with prewar tech. But I'm not gonna spoil what those are yet. Not to say that mutants or wastelanders are weak. They each come with their own style but pure is definitely the rarest.
