War. War never changes.
It's been more than twenty years since the NCR held Hoover Dam against the forces of Caesar's Legion. The courier that assisted the NCR, for whatever reasons, vanished into NCR territory. During this time, the Legion retreated temporarily, to regroup and reorganize. This effort was hampered by the death of Caesar and Legate Lanius. Lanius had died during the second Battle of Hoover Dam, at the hands of the Courier. Caesar, a year later, from a tumor. Their deaths resulted in a civil war that would have torn the Legion apart before they could ever threaten the NCR again had it not been for the iron will of one man - one calling himself Romulus. Rising from nothing, Romulus united the warring factions of the Legion under his banner, and proclaimed himself emperor. He rebuilt the Legion's forces in what was once Caesar's territory, and returned to the Mojave Wasteland to avenge Caesar's defeat. Romulus waged bloody war on the NCR, but the NCR, having grown more powerful in the twenty years since Hoover Dam, held against Romulus' assault.
But beyond Romulus' empire, a new threat had arrived - a foreign power looking for a new land to call their own. English-speaking, but European-originating, these foreigners made a dangerous trek from their once-proud homeland of Russia - now a barren, desolate wasteland unable to sustain them - and found their way to the Mojave Desert. Exhausted, and convinced this land had what they needed, the forces of the Reborn Russian Federation sent scouts across the wasteland to better determine what they were dealing with, while they set up base in an unexplored region on the Utah-Nevada border. Once established, the Russians learned of the NCR and the Legion. Unwilling to risk their newfound home, the Russians declared them both enemies of the RRF, and mandated that agents of either faction be executed if deemed a threat to RRF operations. As time passed, the RRF grew, expanding into Nevada. Not long after the Russians arrived, NCR and Legion forces began suffering mysterious losses to unidentified raiding parties bearing the symbol of a sword. NCR sent scouts to investigate - Legion sent their Frumentarii. Both reported back of an unexpected, uninvited faction now making a bid for territory in the Mojave. However, unwilling to set aside their sordid history and stark differences, the NCR and Romulus' Legion fought with these new invaders as they fought each other. The invaders' advance, though numerically and technologically superior, was halted, and the war degenerated into a stalemate. None of the three factions could gain any new ground against the others.
But, among the stars, something incredible had brewed. An alien vessel, arriving entirely by chance on an exploratory mission, is caught in an ambush, damaged, and forced to plummet into the Mojave Wasteland. The ship, though heavily damaged, manages to survive with certain systems intact. The crew survived, mostly intact, but now find themselves stranded on a hostile and alien world they know nothing about. The ship's attackers, believing themselves victorious, left. The Russians, hoping to gain something that would help them defend their new home, sent a team of their highly-skilled Spetsnaz Commandos. The Legion, unwilling to let any assets fall into enemy hands, sends teams to destroy the ship and any who survived the crash. The NCR, aware of the fallen ship yet unwilling to send it's own forces to lend aid to the ship's survivors, hires a team of Mercenaries to go to the fallen ship and extend the hand of the NCR.
This is where you come in. You are one of the mercenaries hired by the NCR. Your mission is simple: Go to the crashed alien ship, offer the aid of the NCR, and assist the crew of the downed ship however possible. However, you may find yourself doing much more than the mission profile specifies...*** RULES ***
Standard RP rules apply. Aside from that, try and play nice, and any characters that you want to have on board the crashed alien ship must be run by me through PMs.
*** CHARACTER PROFILE(S) ***
Profile layout is as follows:
Name:
Age:
Race: (I don't mind humans, but I am going for furries in this RP)
Weapons: (Try and use something from the games or something that used on Earth. If you have a weapon idea, but are not sure it's acceptable, PM me.)
Apparel: (Unless I approved the armor [and again, if you're not sure, you can reach me via PMs], try and use something found in the Fallout Games. Provide a link if possible.)
Class/Specialization: (Your profession [bounty hunter, soldier, hunter, etc.] or what you specialize in [Melee Weapons Specialist, Rifle Specialist, etc]. Any class that was aboard the crashed ship must be run by me.)
Bio: (A little info on your character, try and include how they came to be hired for this mission.)
My starting character (Not aboard the ship) is as follows:
Name: Jessica Williams
Age: 26
Race: Red Vulpine
Weapons: AK-101 loaded with 5.56-caliber Magnesium-Tungsten ammo
Apparel: US Army Combat Armor, scavenged from an armory at The Divide.
Class/Specialization: Team Leader
Bio: A mercenary who has a long-standing friendship with the NCR, Jessica is always the first to volunteer for missions from the NCR Military. Armed with her trusty AK101 loaded with ammo she had custom cast in NCR territory, and adorned in Combat Armor she scavenged from a short foray in The Divide, she has time and time again proven reliable and efficient, and the NCR specifically requested she lead this mission. While not normally one to indulge in fantasies of space ships and aliens, she couldn't turn down the chance to aid the NCR again.
