	*Benjamin Eckhart* [44] Captain Eckhart worked diligently with the Alliance, believing strongly in their philosophy of order, peace, and unity. He wanted a safe universe for his family to enjoy. While the Alliance promised all of that, they did not do so without a cost. Eckhart's wife and daughter were that cost. Silla and Ana were taken from him when it was discovered that young Ana had a special occurence of the Talent Gene. Eckhart fought against the decision, but was swiftly reminded that his position within the Alliance did not put him above the citizens. That's when he realized exactly what the organization he served was doing to the Universe. That was fifteen years ago.
	*Tyne Vale* [19] Fugitive Tyne remembers vividly the day that he left for the Academy. Everything after that only comes in bits and pieces. He was incredibly excited, proud, and he enjoyed rubbing it in that the Academy had selected him over his brother. They had always been close and in the end, gloating was Tyne's way of getting over the fact that he didn't want to leave Mattie's side. It quickly became obvious that the things they taught at the Academy, Tyne didn't want to learn. Experiment after experiment ravaged his brain, punching holes in his consciousness and memory. When Matthew came to get him, he hardly recognized him. Now that they're on the run, it's all Tyne can do to keep himself under control.
	*Harrison Field* [25] Mercenary The high and noble Fields own a planet or two. Even with two planets worth of places to hide from them, Harrison still abandoned their money and power early on simply to escape their scrutinizing judgment. He was 12 when he stowed away on a cargo ship and 13 when he entered into a monastery of warrior clerics. There, Harrison became skilled in The Iron Handed Crane technique, a style of fighting using two guns and the methodical, graceful movements of the white crane. He is an almost untouchable fighter when he can keep his personal demons at bay and a valuable asset to the team.
	*Merchant Boucher* [38] Companion Merchant was born of a long line of companions, taught from an early age about the arts involved in being a successful companion. Tea service, conversation, counsel, beautification, business, and when he was old enough, sexuality. He excelled in all things and soon enough into his career, he started taking on the teaching arts as well. He selected his apprentices very carefully and preferred to take them as early as possible, believing that would minimize confusing his teachings with others'. Finley was his last apprentice and despite his better judgement, he took him on later in the boy's life, teaching him here and there as oppossed to an official apprenticeship. He invited him to work as his partner and they've been relying on the Strattus to get them where they're going for awhile now.

	*Archemedes Monroe* [44] Ex-Auror/Dark Arts Professor Coming from a long line of aurors, it only made sense for Archemedes to follow in the prestigious footsteps of his father and his father before him. When Voldemort's armies started to overtake Europe, Archemedes was one of the first to sign up with the US efforts to send aid. Even though the battles didn't last long, thanks to Harry Potter, Archemedes was captured by dark wizards and tortured. Upon his return and after a few bad incidents, he was deemed unfit for field work.
	*Tiernan McKelly* [35] Lawyer Quidditch superstar and genius. This is what Tiernan would have you believe. He was exceptionally popular in school and did very well in everything that he tried (except anything to do with magical creatures, or herbology, or anything else where he had to get his hands dirty). He majored in the history of magic and criminal law. While he does work in the muggle court system on occassion, his primary focus is magical law.
	*Hale Clements* [18] Student The Clements family has never been the formal education sort. The clan lives deep in Appalachia and keeps pretty much to themselves. Of course, rumors run rampant that they are even more inbred than some of the most notorious pureblood magical families. It's even said that the Clements intermix with magical creatures. Everyone has a story about the crazy Clements. Growing up, Hale always dreamed of more than the close knit mountain life. After a great deal of persuasion, his parents finally allowed him to travel to school. He is determined to prove the rumors about his family wrong.
	*Apollo Avel* [17] Student Apollo comes from an incredibly long line of pureblooded wizards and his family is full of well known wizarding criminals. The Avels are tried and true practicers of the dark arts, thugs, and bullies. Apollo really isn't all that different save for the fact that he hasn't been convicted of anything yet. Apollo is smart enough to keep his nose clean so that he can get his education. A smart criminal is a successful one.
	*Roger Brooks* [19] Bicycle Messenger Roger is a muggle and had no clue about the magical world that runs parallel to his own boring existence. That was until he got caught in the path of an angry and fleeing werewolf. Little did he know that his delivery that day would end in the wholesale changing of his world. Torn up and left for dead, Roger was lucky that the Auror pursuing the werewolf took pity on him.
	*William Burgess* [24] Potions Lab Assistant Description.

He hadn't expected the ride to feel so short. Sleep shortened it, of course, but even when he was awake, he didn't feel like a lot of time had passed. There was so much to think about, and no small amoun to fret about. He was so wrapped up in running the possibilities of those men catching up that he could hardly believe when they arrived on the outskirts of the town.

Mal reached over and touched Cade's shoulder gently to wake him up. It had been a few hours since they'd chanced their last pit stop. "It looks deserted from here, but I think that's probably just smart, you know? I wouldn't want to advertise." His voice was shakey with nerves. He was terrified that they were walking right into another nightmare.

To anyone at camp, Jack

Max had been walking for a real long fucking time. He didn't have a lot in the way of supplies aside from a duffel bag full of guns and ammo. The first thing he'd done in Boston was raid the weapon storage at the PD. The brute force tactic had served him pretty well in his travels. When he needed food, he took it. In the beginning, the detective badge had helped him out. People always thought he had some authority because of it. Now it was meaningless because everyone had given up the hope that any help was coming.

The outside of the camp looked fortified. Fences had been put up where he was sure no fences would have been before. He approached with caution, expecting some sort of watchmen to be lurking, keeping a lookout for danger. He couldn't see anyone though and he wasnt sure he looked like much of a threat with just one duffel. Little did they know he was packing a small arsenal. For safe keeping, he hide a few of the guns in case these people managed to get the rest away from him.

When he was ready to approach, he called out. "Anyone around? This place empty or what?"

fallout Characters

2010-09-01T18:27:49Z

	*Grace Landry* [32] Contractor Sister has been doing it for herself for as long as she can remember. With images of Rosy the Riveter in her head from a young age, Grace quickly rejected the idea of college and headed straight into the workforce. She is a feminist at heart, but mainly just likes to boss people around and not let anyone tell her what to do. She had Grayson at 27, the product of a relationship that she didn't think was going anywhere. She decided very quickly to keep the baby and lose the man. It was the best decision she'd ever made. Five years later, she wasn't going to let a little nuclear winter stand in her way.
	*Kelly Valincourt* [46] Nurse Kelly has always been all about the perfect life. For awhile, he really had it too. He met his wife in nursing school and a couple years after they were married, they had a beautiful set of triplets. Years passed and things seemed to be going smooth on the outside. But people fall out of love all the time, and behind closed doors, Kelly and his wife were fighting. She wanted a divorce. Kelly wanted marriage counseling, but mostly because he didn't want to admit failure. No one knew. With their family's future up in the air, the world happened to end and the decision never got the chance to be made. Now Kelly lives with the death of his wife knowing that she wouldn't have been his wife for much longer anyway.
	*Malachi Valincourt* [16] Being separated from his family was the worst thing that ever happened to Malachi. Sure, the end of civilization as he knew it was pretty bad, but he could have handled that with his family by his side. But at least he had Murielle and she is what keeps him going. All of his fight comes from trying to protect her. Normally mild mannered, Malachi has developed an edge since the kidnapping and he doesn't quite know how to deal with it. But all he knows is that it's helping him to keep them both safe.
	*Abe Roth* [53] Chemist Before the blasts hit, Abe had been building a small meth lab in his small rented house. He hadn't actually cooked any up yet, but he had all the supplies. What else was there for a laid off chemist? Abe used to work for a small manufacturing company until they went under and he was let go. When the unemployment checks stopped coming in, he tried to get a job at Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack, but he was overqualified and too old. Now he's making his way and doing what he can to help the small upstart camp.
	*Willard Taylor* [26] Secret Farmboy/Singer No one calls Willard "Willard." His name is Will. That was one of the many measures he took to leave his agrestic childhood behind. He left home as soon as he turned 18, tired of the dirty grind of farm life and small town nowhere. He moved to Seattle to make a life for himself, but things never really took off for him. He was travelling with a band when the nuclear attacks hit and fortunately, he was far enough away from the blasts to survive. But one by one, his traveling companions were overcome by the elements, disease, or worse.
	*Cash Thompson* [21] Hair Stylist Cash was the youngest of two boys, growing up in a pretty normal suburban family. At a young age he had an interest in dressing things up and playing house with the neighborhood girls. He did their Barbies' hair and his parents were convinced that he was gay. His brother picked on him for it, but overall he was the protective sort and wouldn't let anyone else give him guff. It turns out, Cash just really liked being creative and helping people look the way they wanted to look. Now that the apocalypse has come, he really just wishes he would have gone camping with his dad a few more times.
	*Lorne Lockland* [30] Publicist Like his brother, Ashley, Lorne feels responsible for keeping people safe. He looks up to his brother a great deal, though he thinks the man could stand to loosen up a little bit. Even though Lorne is a diligent, trustworthy worker, he also likes to laugh a lot. He has next to no survival skills, but he's whip smart and knows how to delegate fairly and inspire people to work together.
	*Smith Arva* [27] Boxer No one fucks with Smith or his brother. Period. They come from a big family but they were the only two who made it and now all Smith can focus on is protecting Court from harm since he's the only family he's got left. A professional fighter, Smith has found a quick niche in the growing underbelly of the US. Fighting tournaments provide cheap entertainment and gambling for survivors and Smith is just fine with that. He ekes out a living for himself and Court.
	*Eugene Fuller* [31] Environmental Scientist Eugene is all about green living--or rather he used to be. Now he's mostly concerned with survival. But he is quick to point out that he has a wealth of knowledge for low-energy sustainable living techniques in his granola-eating past. He was never the preachy sort though and mostly he just spent his time respecting nature and native cultures. Now he's trying to put all of the knowledge to good use.
	*Wade McGillis* [8] Urchin Having been bounced around from foster home to foster home for most of his life, Wade didn't have a lot to lose when the blasts came. He's always been good at making the most out of the least possible. A bit of a troublemaker, Wade's only sense of morals comes from what's best for him. He's well suited for life on the road, even at such a young age.
	*Marlowe Thompson* [33] Cop Marlowe is a dirty cop. It's entirely possible that his activities before the nuclear events actually led to the successful execution of the attacks. With no sense of loyalty or responsibility, Marlowe is out for himself and himself only. His world hasn't exactly always been safe. With criminal parents, Marlowe really thought he could make a difference when he started out as a cop. But things don't really work out and Marlowe was quickly disenchanted with the corruption he found in the police force. It was easy to fall into that same corruption and forget his childhood dreams of cleaning up the streets.
	*Grable Lundy* [26] Subway Sandwich Artist When Grable was 18, he followed his brother to New York. He knew that it would be impossible to live without Harlow close by and he wasn't even going to try. Unfortunately, Grable never had the kind of drive or direction his twin did and ended up working a string of menial jobs. He was far too proud to ask his brother for financial help and lived on his own in a crappy little apartment in the worst neighborhood. But he was happy because he got to see Harlow all the time (when they both weren't working). When the bombs hit, New York was hit the hardest, not only from the blasts but the fallout. When the twins miraculously found each other, it was clear that Grable had suffered some radiation poisoning. Over the course of their first few days back together, Grable was violently ill, unable to move on from the place where they'd holed up for safety. It didn't look good for him, but he pulled through. However, the initial bout of radiation sickness has made him weak and prone to infection.
