Nuclear war. The very words conjure images of mushroom clouds, gas masks, and bewildered children ducking and covering under their school desks. But it's the aftermath of such conflict that truly captures our imaginations, in large part because there's no real-world equivalent we can relate to. Mankind may have witnessed the horror of the atomic bomb, but thankfully we've somehow succeeded in not blowing up the entire planet. At least, not yet.
This RP presents a much grimmer reality. Imagine if, after World War ll, the timeline had split. Our world forked into one branch, the wasteland universe the other. In that other branch, technology progressed at a much more impressive rate, while American society remained locked in that cultural norms of the 1950's. It was idyllic "world of tomorrow," filled with servant robots, beehive hairdos, and fushion-powered cars. And then in 2077, at the climax of a long-running war with China, it all went to hell in a globe-shattering nuclear war
That's when we come in. This RP takes place two hundred years later, in the year 2277, in post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. and it's environs. The "Capital Wasteland," as it has come to be known, is a nightmare landscape of roving raider gangs, freakish super mutants, rotting feral ghouls, and malfunctioning military robots. It's a good thing some of you have been living underground for the past nineteen years, safe and secure in an official Vault-Tec facility known as Vault 303. Everything is fine and dandy, until your father-who has been the one constant in your life-decides to leave the vault unexpectedly, forcing you to follow in pursuit. So much for safety
Now here's the good news. When that giant vault door slides open and you're thrust into the harsh sunlight of the Capital Wasteland, you're completely free to make your own destiny. Follow after dear old Dad... or forget he even exists. Head straight into the ramshackle town of Megaton and meet it's ecletic inhabitants... Or shoot first and exchange pleasantries later.
