Here I would like to make a list of Ideas for characters that would be involved in some way in the roleplay project, for when it finally arrives.
1. A dog. Everybody loves doggies right? They can go around licking people, or if angered growling or even biting. Maybe make 3 or 4 people dog characters.
2. Kids (already started) Of course! The wasteland needs kiddies! But if you want to hear more about that http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24026.0.html (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24026.0.html)
3. Stupid tribal. There always has to be a few retards in town. :) Maybe go around trying to make friends, and maybe befriends a small child.
4. The tough guys (bare torso long hair and bare torso bald) Maybe these two guys will hang out all the time and bully people.
I could keep giving ideas all day, but go ahead and give your ideas. I'm interested in hearing what kind of creativeness you all have.

How about enemies walking around....
here's example:
i would really like to have that frank horrigan skin with a high hp burster build. edit: i called it first :P
We could use it to host small mini events

I doubt the real Frank Horrigan would be strolling around the hub though. lol it probably wont happen. Good thought though.

well we could rp that he and some thugs are trying to extort money or something (Frank lost his job after the explosion accident at the endgame) how he survived? well they put humptiedumtie back together again (by some tribal scientists :P)

How about Master. He could walk around with floater guards. Wait, he can't walk... hmmm nvm.
Let's be serious. It's Hub. No. FOCKIN. Enclave. And no Supermutants. They don't fit there.
First of all: Please don't rush. Wait for town description/setting. Project will not start soon.
All I can say for now how it PROBABLY will look like: there will be 2 kind of player characters in Hub:
Crowd Characters and Story Characters.
For Crowd Character it's enough to be described as "tough guy with bare torse" or "cheerful kid",
or really to just not break project rules. Story Characters will require more conceptual work from
players and will be treated differently by GMs. To put it simply: Crowd Characters will be like
background actors in a movie. Story Characters will be like main cast.
Crowd Characters shouldn't be directly harassed by GMs as long as they will stay in background
of events and won't do anything spectacular or significant - just socializing, trading, hunting, etc.
Story Characters must be ready that unexpected things can happen to them anytime and that
they may be used to unfold some important part of Hub story (for example characters controlled
by GMs will contact them). They should be also ready to cooperate with GMs in some things.
Of course Crowd Characters can try to jump into the events anytime, but they will never get that
much GM attention, simply because GM won't have much information about the character, and
because story characters deserve it more.
Typical 2238 char visiting hub to trade, take perks etc would be Crowd Character.
Character with nice RP description or running some project in town would be Story Character.

hmmmm....to bad about no enclave..
i'm not rushing Jovanka but i've got ideas that's all.
how about a robot and a boxer. They might fit in.
idea 2
(http://www.falloutwiki.com/images/8/85/Mahandaa_se.gif)1 Name: stranded in hub 'MR handy'. always on the look out to help players with stuff.

-quest 1 offers 50 caps to anyone who can give it 2 metal parts enabling it to move
-quest 2 (the follow up quest) escort to a place so it can install boxing program reward: item or 200 caps
-quest 3 (the follow up quest) defeat it in a boxing match reward:???
something else.
(http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/images/2/2f/Nmboxxaa_sw.gif)
2. Name: Lefty. Rich boxer that wants a boxing match against a worthy apponent.
quest 1: fetch him an item that proves your though. (don't know what right now) reward super stimpack
quest 2: beat him in boxing match reward:????

U WAINT ROLPLAI AND NU KNOV LINET? NAOB PLAY FALOUT 2
Srlsy, its a VC leader, (most annoying npc ever, I killed her after winning Enclave).
-
by the sounds of it Jovanka still has a lot of convincing to do among the community and devs in terms of quelling skepticism.
Perhaps what would help is for us to 'pledge' characters that we fully intend to play as once this thing starts. So as well as listing cool ideas for possible roles having people promising to fill roles within the project will give the devs a more realistic idea of what this thing may look like once it starts, and no more or less than we actually intend to fullfill.
I have started a thread for a running tally here http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24143.0.html (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24143.0.html)

Most satisfying kill of the game imo. Nothing like minigun bursting her and watching the tiny pieces spray everywhere.
Btw, this is how you rp motherfuckers.
The Capitalist
The bastard of a prostitute the man known only as the capitalist grew up alone on the hard streets of New Reno. He saw the blood of many men seep into the dusty concrete, glistening in the light from the Desperado's neon sign. He watched and he learned. The real powers in that city were never the men holding the guns, it was the men holding the caps. Thugs and lackeys came and went but the rich men kept the city alive. When the mordino family caught him cheating in the casino they were impressed by the complexity of his system and offered him a job, keeping their books or death. He accepted and worked there for years, watching the family grow and the rise of "big" jesus mordino all while skimming caps from the casino. He fell in love with a girl half his age with a sharp wit and a beautiful body and tried hard to keep her out of the mordinos employ. One night during an attempt at robbing the casino he took advantage of the confusion to escape, taking the caps and disappearing into the night with no time to warn his darling. After he left with no warning she had lost her support and turned to prostitution, eventually becoming the madame of the cat's paw. He fled south to find the followers of the apocalypse and bought himself an education in business and pre-war history. He knew that it was possible to restore humanity to it's previous glory but it must be done by providing people with a stable existance free from raiders and thugs. He then left to build his empire, investing what he had left in a caravan and spending years travelling the wastes. He became wealthy from his shrewd trading and the mordinos caught wind that he was still alive. They leaned on one of his workers and set up a raider ambush, the caravan was slaughtered but the capitalist was taken captive. The raiders had heard of his wealth and knew it was locked up in ncr, much more than what the mordinos had promised. Life under the raiders destroyed his illusions about creating real change and hardened his heart, he took the situation as an advantage and started advising them to the routes of his competitors and shared his knowledge of ncr patrols. He convinced them that since they couldn't get into ncr they would have to work out a deal. He would pay them to send to the Den the slaves they would have otherwise killed at half the rate while hitting all the caravans but his. Now based out of the hub, he lives as a ghost, never seen but holding all the purse strings. Men kill in his name having never met him and die the same way, all for a taste of prosperity. Now an old man, he has sits and remembers the names of his foes, the love he left behind. His time is soon coming, but not before theirs.

I didn't say ALL tribals were stupid I was describing what type of character.
Ok fine howabout a stupid communist, or a stupid vault dweller. :) just giving examples here
-
How about someone that lived in a vault wich the only citizens were he and his slutty mother (that came into the vault while she was pregnant) they quickly engaged in sexual activity.
So you're a vault dweller that's been having sex ever since you were born.
When he was 14, he had to leave the vault due to a radiation leak, the mother didn't want to because she enjoyed the crotch burn, the boy wasn't so stupid.
Now he's a 14 year old sex addict that goes around towns asking people for sex (you never learned about boundaries or sexual harassment) and telling his story.
Ish Mah RulPley kewl?

I know you said that just to troll, but I actually like that idea.. lol

I think it would be interesting to have some covert representatives of BoS and NCR engaged in some sort of intrigue with the water merchants. Perhaps on the surface NCR and BoS are allies, or part of the same federation...but behind the scenes some of the BoS are concerned about their group maintaining autonomy and are looking to contact with BoS units from the east.
It's seems like fertile ground for roleplaying, as you would have...
- NCR agents looking to absorb Lost Hills for the Power Armor technology, also to maintain influence with the Water Merchants for farm irrigation.
- BoS members from Lost Hills looking to frustrate NCR's efforts in the west and to link up with advance units from the east--in hopes that the other BoS will stop NCR from taking any overt action.
- Scouts from the Midwest BoS (Fallout Tactics) who aren't really strong enough to commit to one side or another, but are trying to evaluate the political situation for their own benefit.
You could have Lost Hills BoS pose as Raiders and hit some sort of NCR weapons shipment, weapons to equip the local police or forays to the water works. Perhaps the map to use would be a warehouse near the rail line? You could also have controlled assassination missions at the residence of a major business leader...the attackers would have a limited selection of weapons and would have to plan versus the building's layout, whereas the defenders would have to fall back to strong points in order to defend the big man, Mr. Crimson Calhoon.
;D Get some PvP mixed in with the roleplaying and post the change in the political situation depending on a group's success or failure. Also it might be a good idea for each battle to proceed in a series of steps, with short intervals of "peace" so attackers and defenders can exchange dialogue, eavesdroppers with sneak can overhear conversations through a window, etc. Besides this there'll be some dialog in determining the recruits for the mission and various general tasks for setting up the operation.

Do you know that you can do RP even now? Why are you waiting for Hub project? So many good ideas... ;)
-
how about a former owtlaw that just whent out a prisson and what's to start a farm and to settle down
-

This is awesome idea for a character and I hope that you think what I think - that events created by GMs
for such character should not be about farming and crops :P

Yeah. Maybe he can be a "Main Character" so to speak.. He tries to settle down and farm, but Everyday he remembers when he was a raider, how he wanted to straighten up and live a good life. But now that he actually lives a good life, he realizes that being a raider was actually what he enjoyed and lived for. He decides after many months of loneliness, to go back into the open arms of the khans, it is then, the leader of the khans gets attacked by a hub policeman and dies (leader was his good friend) so He takes control of the raiders. Now, a couple times a week, he tries to avenge his friend by attacking the hub.

First of all: Please don't rush. Wait for town description/setting. Project will not start soon.
Not soon?? Sheesh... now I'm scared... never heard of that time estimate before.
I could think of something but I don't know when it begins so I'll just wait up for now. Remember, the background of a character is not fully known to its peers without telling it in character.
I'd probably play a well traveled, world weary, story telling barkeep of irish blood, intolerant and quick to anger, but wise in pre-war lore and history. Or the good ole apocalyptic prophet of the rat god.
-
What about Person that is an "Deserter from Enclave" and tries to settle in peacefull villiage and can teach others military tricks of survival and hand to hand combat? i realy would like to play such a role since im almoust "mentaly-retarded" when it comes to Role-Play characters, just old and a skilled deserter wich left his past behind and tries to make new life!
anyway im in

Josie is a spry wrily young lass with wide eyed enthusiasm and a winning smile (not to mention a killer ass) who isn't much of a fighter but loves animals. Her father was a dog breeder in Junktown that that had some of the best scout dog lines available. Josie picked up this affinity for animals but wanted to impress her father so she sat out to become a tough brahmin herder.

Srlsy, its a VC leader, (most annoying npc ever, I killed her after winning Enclave).
she was voiced by the person who did Susie in Rugrats.

An outcast Shaman's Apprentice.
He was supposed to learn piety to the Earth Mother, and the Tree Man, and the Ancestors; but instead he pledged his loyalty to the Trickster Who Takes Many Forms.
This caused him to be cursed by his tribe, resulting in his youthful luck being transformed to Jinxed, and his youthful dextrousness becoming a Heavy-Handedness, among other curses.
He could no longer pick pockets or locks, nor could he sneak very well because of his cursed clumsyness. A fit punishment indeed.
But the Trickster smiled upon him and turned his curses into blessings.
His Jinx extends to others, and his Heavy Hands send others to the ground.
The medical skill that was taken from him - causing his potions to fizzle, was twisted into a knack for explosives.
His clumsyness that denied him his former skill of stealth was transformed into a strange "always falling but never hitting the ground" sort of stagger-twitch, which made him very hard to hit.
So now he avenges himself upon all he encounters: dodging, weaving, jinxing, knocking over, and exploding.
U Mad?

You mean RP like - (completely by accident, of course) - killing people, taking their stuff, and fighting in TC's like normal, regular players? ;)
