This is a place where people who are interested in dedicating characters (fulltime or partime) to Jovanka's upcoming Hub RPG project can pledge those characters to the cause.
Hopefully this will give the devs a realistic idea of what the turnout might look like and how many players (now on the forum) will be dedicated to this project if need be. If you want to pledge a new character but are stuck for ideas perhaps you can find some at gimper's brainstorm thread here http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24136.0.html (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24136.0.html) or just voice your intent to partake in the RPG in whatever capacity may be required!
I will be keeping a tally here of all who post with their Forum names and even intended character name/descriptions if you already have them!
Tally;
*Rain - Caravan Guard
*Boatshift - Shifty Guy
*Lucas - Town Drunk
*Xisingr Will - Young Medic, Doctor, Doctors Assistant, whatever one is available
*Roachor - The Captialist (a man with a heart blackened by greed and loss)
*Gimper - Smart Rat - The cute little rat that brings a smile to wastelanders at maltese.
*Jonny Rust - Caravan Dan (Caravan-master of the T.W.A.C.Co)
(this is not official and you should keep up with what Jovanka tells us about what sort of characters are required, i.e. story chars, background chars etc. however this is still a place where we can get together for an idea of who wants to be involved and to what extent as players)

Smart Rat - The cute little rat that brings a smile to wastelanders at maltese.

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.

Holy ****... that was a pretty awsome character background story.
-

Thats a decent background story, but I think Jovanka wants a little more detail. I dont think that will get the 10k xp
-
It's best let actions speak. In real rp you can't know anyone's background story unless he told it to you. If you read it here in forum, your character can't know it.
-
I'd like to be the town drunk.
My story doesn't matter because I'm just another hobo.
-
I used to rp as an assassin for hire (I'm sure that some of ya have seen a small guy in robes in NCR).
In fact I've completed kinda lot of contracts, so if I have enough time for F2238 I can share my services 4 ya...

Rain-(caravan guard.)Born in hub,son of a whore and a caravan driver.He spent his childhood happily with his family until the father got killed by super mutants during a ride.Rain's mother,sick with love and other various sexual diseases,decided to go look for his husband north,only to find a painful death under the burning sun.Young Rain,left alone,begun to spend his days getting drunk and looking for troubles,and dreaming glory at the maltese falcon,where he became friend with Malice,the local phisycian,Cato, a skilled crafter,Aesoph,an hunter and Lazlo,a caravan driver.(and many,many others..)
Toghether they spent some peaceful time,making money with caravans and commerce,and helping many wastelanders find their way.
But the peaceful way soon became boring for the young Rain,impressed by the tale of gang wars raging north told from time to time by wastelanders coming hub to buy heavy weapons,so he decided to left his companions to find his fortune as a mercenary.
He learnt from ghouls the art of sniping,and from rangers the way of survival,honing his tongue and his aim in order to survive.
Rivers of blood were spilled on the thirsty ground before he realized how pointless all that fighting for domination was.
Every day,he started to become more and more homesick,more and more tired of senseless fighting.
Since one day took his decision:coming back to his hometown.
Many of his old friends left,never to return.Many others changed.He changed himself.
Many would not forgive him for leaving them behind,many other just didn t recognize him anymore.
So he enters the Maltese Falcon as a foreigner in his own homeland,with only a dream in his eyes.
Help making the Hub a safe place,a lighthouse of civilization in the whole wasteland,a place where no one would never feel out of place anymore.And of course,getting pretty rich and powerful in the process.
....
The MF bartender smiles sadly when he comes in.''Long time no see Rain.Have you understood that,everything you were looking for is just everything you've ever had...?''.Rain takes a deep breath,sits in his old seat,lights a cigar. ''I thought i would never be changed,but you know..only war,only war never changes''
