Character name: Genova Reeds.

Character race: Caucasian, male, human.

Character stats: Strength-8 Perception-4 Endurance-4 Charisma-6 Intelligence-5 Agility-8 Luck-5

Apporx. Age: 24

Character Personality: In the wasteland, he meets close to every situation with some form of violence. In very rare cases will he actually stand down from a fight, that being the person who approached him wearing heavy armor and a massive weapon. He won't be dumb enough to throw a punch at someone who isn't going to feel it. That being said, he is normally short fused and unable to keep his head in any dire situations. (i.e if he's taken hostage.) Genova also refuses to raise a fist to a ghoul, as they have it hard enough being discriminated against, they don't need to be beaten and robbed.

In settlements, he tends to hang out at any place that'll serve alcohol and possible for him to get into fights with drunks. He tends to get kicked out of these bars and even settlements by taking fights too far, and beating them close to death with his bare knuckles. Although, with his explosive and destructive tendencies, he does enjoy the company of elders and listening to their stories of the old wasteland days. He enjoys the taste of fine foods, instead of the old, spoiled food of Pre-War and refuses to eat otherwise. He speaks in a manner that isn't normal for most "Manly men" would, in an almost feminine way.

Character appearance: Genova has long, black hair that's close to obsidian colored, reaching the middle of his back in spike like forms. Usually, the hair on the right side of his head is pushed back behind his ear, while the left side covers it. His eyes are a dark green and a small bite mark is visible on his left cheek. His skin is pale, which is surprising for how much time he spends outside.

Genova stands about 6', with a slender type body. For having considerable strength, his arms are quite small and at first glance, would look as if he's just another wastelander with no special traits.

The black jeans Genova wears are a little big on him, being stitched and sewn up in places from wear and tear. Multiple brown belts are tightened on his waist. Both knees are covered with pads that allow for safer rolling and evading. The boots he currently wear are brown boots that were painted black, and are a pre-alpha version for a special pair of spike boots that will turn even the most lightest of kicks become painful, crippling limb devastators. The boots are no where near close to being done, and have no attachments yet.

Starting equipment:Genova wears a dark brown duster type jacket, as patch worked as his pants. On his left hip rests a homemade Hand Cannon that was a gift from the Sheriff of his town.


Character Story: Genova was born in a small town east of New York City ruins. For the most part, it was heavily guarded and very little attempts of violence was taken by raiders or tribals against the town. He lived in a small cottage in the center of the town, near the general store. The general store owner was a very gentile soul and would often give Genova and his parents books, and the occasial free water and food as a way to pay back his father for saving his life during a raider attack years back. So mostly, he was hidden away from the brutal and harsh wastelands. By birth, Genova's real name was William Rhine, a descendant of the Rhine clan.

During his younger years, he spent most time inside and with his pet dog, Spring. That little guy was Genovas best friend, and the two were inseparable. Besides that, he would read old books about courageous acts and even a few about peaceful resolutions to most problems. Slowly, he began learning how to tell people what they want to hear, complementing anyone for goods he wanted. When Genova was only 7, his dog had an accident and Spring broke his own right hind leg. A few days after the incident, his dog was put down in the most humane way possible at the time, and that night... he was out of a best friend. Hell, his only friend. He spent most of his time in a small abandoned shack near the town, where he would lift rubbles of different weight. Since Spring was gone, he had nothing else to do and no one to talk to. Muscle mass didn't seem to accumulate well, and he still looked slightly scrawny.


A month after Genova turned 19, he was buying his first gun belt and 10mm pistol from the general store. Although he didn't care much for guns, it was required for every citizen to own at least a one-handed firearm to carry at all times. This was one of his two lucky moments in life, as that night, a massive raiding party descended from the ruins. Around 45 Raiders emerged from the ruins of NYC. It was late at night, and as the guards describe "It was like watching Hell charge towards the town." With mere seconds to spare, the town's alarm system began blaring. It took only minutes for the Raiders to bash down the wall they charged into. Chaos followed quick. While a few Raiders were quickly taken down by the guards on duty, many broke through the defenses like it was nothing. The fields were set ablaze, residents were murdered or dragged away, Brahmin were slaughtered, houses collapsed quickly. Genova and his family, were sadly a part of the causalities. He watched his parents being dragged away as he hid cowardly in the nearby barn. The raid ended as quick as it began. 20 minutes later, anyone who wasn't murdered or dragged away quickly assembled in what was left of town square. The mayor tried to organize everyone, but Genova was the one to begin voicing anything.
Genova's valor speech.
"Are you really asking what just happened? Our way of life was taken by the hair and cut at the throat! Are we just going to stand here, and let close to half the town get dragged away, without even putting up a fight!? I am going to lead a counter-attack, in an attempt to get back even one person those muties bastards took. Either you raise up your guns with me, or you can let them win by turning your back and acting as if nothing happened. I saw my mom and dad get pulled away by the hair so they can do whatever in god's name they do to the people they drag away."
This caused an uproar among the men and women, as they gathered whatever weapons and bullets they could, forming a rag-tag militia. For now, Genova donned a full suit of Leather Armor as he would be the one to charge head first into the heat. After about an hour of travel, they arrived at a massive building that was surrounded by bodies hanging from hooks. They didn't get any form of surprise, as a loud warcry was heard before anyone could react, the same scream he heard before his parents were dragged away. Balling his hand into a tight fist, Genova charged after the Raider that led the group of 5. He was in an absolute blood rage, everything around him beginning to fade. The only thing he cared about was his parents, and ripping the son of a bitches head straight from his neck. The courageous charged inspired the Militia to begin open firing. Genova lunged onto the Raider, delivering a powerful blow directly to the center of the mans face, square in the nose. The adrenaline coursed through his veins, adding more and more force into blow. Only a minute, maybe a minute and a half pasted, and because of Genova's brave display of courage and brute force, the Raider charge perished. He looked down at the Raider, the one he had brutally beaten to death, and back to his hands. His hands were broken, and his vision hazy. He didn't know what disgusted him more, the corpse, or the fact he loved every second of the bloody beating. He could only dwell for a moment, as the town sheriff snapped him back to reality. He had a mission, and that was to get everyone out of the building. Bashing his way through the double doors, he was met with a horrifying sight. His parents banged on a glass window, as they were locked in a room filled with green goo barrels as some sick torture method by the raiders. Dashing through the room, he fumbled with the controls to the door, barely being able to grip them tight enough to twist the rusted knobs. This was his only other lucky moment in life, as the control knob to unlock and open the door wasn't as rusted as the others. Pulling his parents from the room, Genova dragged them out of the building to the others waiting. Genova, his parents, and the town sheriff all decided to head back to the town in an attempt to remove the radiation that had already found its way into his parents body. The doctor did all she could to remove the radiation, but in most ways, was unsuccessful. A few hours later, close to sunrise, the rest of the Militia returned with only a handful of the people who were dragged away. The rest were either killed or being moved to a slavers camp.


At the age of 24, he was shaking the hand of his dad and hugging his mom good bye. Although they survived, both of them became ghouls. Genova didn't once look at his parents any different after that day. If anything, he came to accept ghouls even more. Now, he had only an improvised hand cannon to protect himself with, and his own physical brawn.

Character Strength: He became a quick and agile fighter, relying purely on close range, hand-to-hand combat. If that isn't enough, he has a silver tongue that'll help him to get people to either back down, in which he'll put a bullet in the back of their head afterwards, or get them to join him in the cause.

Character weaknesses: He is addicted to the fight. He may turn down a fight here or there, but most he won't even consider rejecting. With that, he isn't used to being in pain at all. A good punch to the face or bullet to the arm or leg will probably cause him to whimper and run away. At most times, he also isn't too alert of his surroundings and 9 times of out 10, people get the jump on him.

Character traits:
1)Confirmed Bachelor(per se)- He always spoke in a sort of way towards men that was slightly unsettling at times.
2)Adrenaline Rush- Whenever the going gets tough, he it seems as if his fight or fight reaction kicks in, allowing him to focus on a single person with extreme concentration.

Took me a little bit to get to this amigo, lo siento. ONTO THE EVALUATION.

SPECIAL adds up to 40, no problems there.

Personality is interesting, albeit a bit focused/narrow.
The appearance is pretty solid, although it contains some details that'll become a problem later.

My main problem is your equipment. You're allowed 2 large weapons, 3 small weapons, or any combination of that. Spiked knuckles and ten millimeter pistols are both tier two, look at the topic I linked below for tier one weapons amigo. If you RP diligently/sparingly/casually/at all, you'd be rocking some tier two equipment in practically no time.

You got some funky errors in your story, just what looks like left out words and grammar issues/typos to me. It's no real big deal, but I'd go over it once or twice. Another thing to think about is your story. While not explicitly against the rules, Super mutants are kind of rare in our setting, and we usually go with the fallout 1 and 2 super mutants, rather then the new ones that crumple like tissue paper. So if you could swap them for raiders or another stand in for your story, I'd appreciate it.

Fix those and you're good to go for registration.

I think I got the errors in my story
if my character description problem is the scrawnyness, i kinda wanted him to look weak, and then gain the muscle mass slowly as he levels up. Unless that's a no go and then i'll just change it so he has the physical appearance of his strength.

The problem in appearance was just you mentioning his equipment ;)

Sorry, but I forgot to mention his armor is also tier two. Check here to see what tier one armor is available. Once you fix that out we're good to go!
