TheBlueKidd Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Hi there Nexus! I'm planning on starting a first hardcore roleplay playthrough soon and wanted some feedback, suggestions, builds, and good mods, perks, and traits for my character. I'm open to constructive criticism and just want to know what you all think and if there is anything I could do to better my gameplay experience. Anything to make my character less Mary Suish (loosely based on myself), and some rping tips for a beginner. Here it is (beware, wall of text incoming). Name: Barron "Barry" Lake Gender: Male Age: 23 Race: African American Combat Style: Skrimishy Specialties: Speech, Barter, Science (Hacking skills mostly), Guns (Rifles and revolvers) Weaknesses: Naive, Impatient, Sneak, Explosives, slight temper Likes: Honesty, Politeness, Adventure, Change Dislikes: Bullies, Rudeness, Staying in one place for too long, Animal Abusers Wants: To travel the wastes and see new things Fears: Bugs and Spiders (Due to almost being killed when he was a child) Friendly Factions: He's never really had any major interactions with any of the factions so he's impartial to all of them (besides Legion) Enemy Factions: Legion, from what he's heard from others Companions: He's not opposed to them, but has never really met anyone willing to constantly move around as much as he does, he also is really fond of dogs Parents: His father is a former trader and prospector who taught him how to shoot, cook, and gave him a few tips about trading. His father taught him the value of a cap and taught him to spend his money cautiously. His mother was a former medic in the Followers of the Apocalypse who taught him how to read and write. His mother made him a keep a journal in a terminal she brought with her from her Follower days (which also gave him some decent hacking skills) and had read pre-war books she had brought with her as well. Barron loved reading about the pre-war times. History books were his favorite. He could never really get into the science textbooks, much to his mother's dismay. Barron's mother brought with her a lot of pre-war trinkets and toys and Barron kept a small collection in his chest. She also taught him basic first aid, nothing groundbreaking, just how to patch up minor wounds. Barron and his parents were very close, and he still writes them to this very day. Early life/Teen years: Barron grew up on a farm in California with his parents who taught him everything he knows. Life was pretty good for growing up in these trying times. He spent his days farming, going to other settlements and trading for food and supplies with his father, and being educated by his mother. Barron didn't have many friends growing up, but he had his dog and best friend Scout. How did he/she become a courier?: As the years went by, Barron found himself increasingly dissatisfied with the easygoing farmer lifestyle he'd been leading. He wanted more out of life. He wanted to explore the world and have adventures. He had heard from people in the settlements he and his father had visited of the Mojave Express, a courier service. He'd get to travel around the Mojave desert and get paid for it too! Barron knew he had to strike out and find his own destiny. His parents had begrudgingly decided to let their son go out on his own and live his own life. Barron left with his father's old rifle, a necklace his mother had made for him, a duffle bag full of his things, and his best friend Scout. After a teary eyed goodbye, Barron was off to see the world. Personality: Barron is an easy-going, carefree guy. He treats everyone with respect as long as they treat him the same way. Barron is restless and can't stand to be in the same place for too long. He's also very curious and is constantly examining his environment for something new or interesting. This can cause him to be easily distracted and turn a 3 day trip into a week-long one. Barron also loves collecting anything he finds interesting, toys, guns, trinkets, decorations, you name it. Barron also has a slight temper, that comes out whenever someone hurts his friends or family or treats him with disrespect. Barron tries to be as friendly as possible and prefers talking his way out of situation rather than fighting. He's always willing to lend a helping hand, and although he won't outwardly ask for reward, he wouldn't turn one down. Barron tries to see the good in people, even when it's apparent that it's not there. He can be naive at times. Barron could be described as book smart, but lacks a little common sense and can make stupid decisions that end badly. Barron usually shys away from conflict, so he's little rusty with his guns. He's been shot at before and even had to shoot back, but he's never killed a man before. Is Barron prepared for what awaits him out there?
