Okay, so I've read through the site and found the Fallout template, so now I've got a question for you all.
For a while now, I've been inspired by the idea of Charon and his upbringing. Particularly, I've liked the theory that he grew up in a Vault that, like many other experiments, focused on making the perfect soldiers for the Great War (that's basically how the Super Mutants and the FEV was discovered). I even named in Vault 66 for my fanfiction (a little allusion to the number 666, which has been done to death in all sorts of media).
Now, of course, I can't use Charon himself as a character. But I was wondering is it possible to make someone who came from the same place and went through the same brainwashing? I'll create a faction template for Vault 66 as well. Or would it be better to put this idea on the backburner and just come up with something simpler for my first character? Even though I've literally have nothing else on mind at the moment?
Anyway, look forward to hearing back from you all!

Well, the main issue with that would be the interference with canon, if you give Charon an origin, that interferes with cannon, and thus not allowed, you could however, use the same idea, just, not involve Charon at all.

That's what I meant. I wouldn't mention him at all since he's a canon character. My character wouldn't even know who he is, save for realizing they were n the same program should they ever bump into each other But I was wondering if even that was too much - if I could have my human character be from the same place as Charon was or if that would be interfering too much with his backstory.

Yeah the fact that your character would be from the same place as Charon - and you'd be making that place, would cause the canon issue.... Not to mention, the only reference to the people who brainwash Charon, is just that, they're just called "People" did some checking, there's no data on them whatsoever. Sooo yeah establishing canon for canon characters, is a no go.

Thought so. Save it for the fan fiction. I've been reading through the Elder Scrolls stuff as well. Hopefully I'll be inspired to come up with a character for one or the other.
Thanks anyway!

Hold on a sec. That doesn't mean you can't create a vault that brainwashes for the perfect soldiers. Just don't include Charon at all, even if your character met him. Still use the same idea. Perfectly valid, just make sure the vault isn't already used. Also. Vault 66 should so not be for brainwashing That should be for the occult.

The draw was to create a character that was bound to another through the contract, I could create a brand new vault and brainwashing system but that'll just feel like a rip off to me. Also, I just found ImmortalUndeath's House of Servants in the Elder Scrolls section. Perhaps if I really must stick with this idea I'll pm him and ask him to let me base a character off of it. Anyway, I more of less created a new faction and character of my own devising already in my head. I just have to get around to writing it.

Oki doki then And I'm sure Immortal will allow you to create a member of his factions in the ES RP. S'why he made it a faction after all.

u also got to think about all the unused military vaults that werernt part of the vault tech experiment but the army might have set up brainwashing to have a new army right out of barrel no resourses spent on recruiting etc with i personaly believe might be part of a hidden backstory to some of the enclave soldiers just a thought might actaully try that as a fan fiction story as long as its alawed all have to check the rules under the fan fiction threads first
