The same as below... Skype Roleplaying.

It sounds to me as if he made his own canon. But that can be perfectly alright. I and another member, Guard Ghost, created a entirely new area called Irradiated Forks which is based off of Long Island. And I know that there are other user added areas like New York, England and Broken Banks that fill in the gaps of areas mentioned in the canon but never explored. If your area/conflict/vaults are not addressed in the canon and does not conflict with any of the areas already added then you're free to go.

All the information about what is considered canon, both from the games and user-added content, is in the Fallout guides. I'd read through those and the rules of the site before posting a character - assuming you haven't done so already.

I don't think Freeform works like that. If it's a Fallout rp it should go into the Fallout section. I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks for the replies.

To my knowledge my canon does not conflict with the established canon. I chose Chicago as the setting of my roleplay as only Fallout Tactics touched it in-canon and even then you couldn't actually enter Chicago. It only appeared in the cutscene. Unless I am mistaken Chicago is not an established area in your canon either, and I'm pretty sure my lore-friendly idea could work outside of Freeform and integrated into your setting.

Now to briefly tell people of my roleplay and what it touches. I can't type history properly, so I'll just tell what's going on in 2280+.

Before the war a huge Pylon was constructed in inner Chicago, right in the dead center. It's purpose was to control the weather via electric pulses, which would either repel clouds or attract them. (Considering Solar Powered lasers are a thing, Weather Control wouldn't be too bad.) The plant which operated the Weather Control Device was massive and powered with the same kind of reactors a Vault would operate at. The Weather Control Device was a succesful build, albeit with minor operating glitches within the plant itself, and Chicago could now control its own weather.

When the bombs fell, the plant was heavily damaged. The Control Tower itself nearly collapsed, but luckily it only tilted slightly. The entrance to the plant crumbled,
trapping any survivors in as the Automated Security Systems malfunctioned and treated all employees as Chinese Spies, killing everybody. As all of the workers
dissapeared, the plant moved into to automated setting based on the preset rotation of weather. This system also glitched and doomed Chicago to have heavy rains for the next 200 years. The nuclear explosives had turned the rain radioactive, which transformed most inhabitants within inner Chicago into very mutated beasts. Even the lone ghoul would be an Advanced Version of a Reaver. Luckily the damage to the plant had narrowed the radius of control for weather, so only inner Chicago was flooded with constant rain. After a few years of constant rain, the radioactivity dulled down and washed the city clean, though leaving rampart vegetation from the park to grow and dangerous mutants to roam around.

As what comes for the vaults, none of them should conflict with in-canon vaults within the fallout universe. They all have their own sadistic social experiments going on within them, one that deals with Mobster culture. After all, we are in Chicago.

I don't want to tell everything. Some things have to be kept as a mystery.

Checking the Fallout Wiki about Chicago does reveal that Scribes tell of BoS in Chicago. However I don't seem to find any note of Chicago being a 'Haven' for BoS. A small detachment exists in Chicago apparently, as does a presence of Enclave. Infact, I was going to have BoS be situated outside of Chicago city and in a bunker, much like Bunker Alpha in Fallout Tactics. Enclave plays a bigger part in my story of Chicago, as Ed-E's audio logs reveal of Enclave presence in Chicago. This story would, of course, involve the high-tech piece of equipment known as the Weather Control Device.

I don't believe both of the groups would actively be looking to disturb the life of the vaults. Enclave, during the Oil Rig times, would capture people from the vaults as test subjects. After the destruction of the Oil Rig, Raven Rock etc. I would hazard a guess the Enclave would be too discouraged to actively hunt down vaults. In my placement of Vaults the Enclave wouldn't have access to but one of them, the one that is inside Chicago itself.

The BoS haven't been that interested in Vaults, have they? In Fallout 3 they have some data on the vaults, but it was because of project Purity the Lone Wanderer's Dad goes to hunt down vaults for the GECK. I would hazard a guess it is the nature of the Vaults, their bomb-resistant doors and defense systems that would drive off even BoS, when there are easier targets to loot, such as storehouses, research plants and factories. The Enclave can canonically force vaults to open with their computers, but the loss of many of the major bases would have probably resulted them in losing the ability to do so.

I could modify the canon to suit the needs of this site, but I will keep the original version for myself and for Skype. I much enjoy roleplaying in Skype than anything else, as it so happens.

I would need to co-operate with a senior from Fallout roleplay here to modify the area and canon to fit the needs, so gimme a call if you require it. I should have my Skype Contact info on my profile.

Thank you, I'd like it if you'd contact me over on Skype so we can look dis shit over. It's sad that there isn't much activity here, but at least there are some valuable members.

Wasn't Janitor - my bad, I remembered incorrectly. We had someone make a small canon-type deal on the old site, but they're long gone.
