The village of Bleak Crest has a bloody history. It started in 1968 with the death of Billy Daniels, a young man who fell to his death in a tragic accident atop Lover’s Point. It’s said that Billy haunts the village of Bleak Crest, with many people attributing various deaths, accidents, and disappearances to the ghost of poor Billy Daniels.

Billy is not the only local legend in town, as the recently deceased Devon Barrett kick-started his tremendous writing career in the early 90s with fictionalizations of some of these incidents from his time in Bleak Crest as a young man, although even Devon dared not touch the memory of Billy Daniels. His books have seen him win awards globally, and he’s said to have cultivated a new wave in crime fiction. Approaching 80, he retired late last year and made his way back to Bleak Crest to live out his golden years. Those golden years were unfortunately short-lived, as Devon passed from a heart attack just four and a half months after his return home.

Many have either been personally invited to attend the funeral and wake of Devon Horace Barrett, as someone he knew and cared about in life, as per his end-of-life plans, or someone who lives locally, who has been invited to attend to celebrate the life of a local celebrity. As a well-travelled man, it’s expected that attendees will be coming from all corners of the globe to pay tribute to his life.

INBOX CALL. mutuals feel free to like this post and I will go through your meme tag (if applicable) and send between 2 - 5 prompts for you to do as you please with.

BASIC GUIDELINE

I can't/won't send super shippy/romance memes if we have never even spoken to each other.

I will not send any super explicit prompts unless I know you VERY well.

Please keep in mind that if all I can find on the first 10 pages of your blog/tagged memes page is specifically romantic or sexy prompts, I will probably 1. cry and 2. skip the request until I see something else I actually feel comfortable sending.

#inbox call. #reblogging a nearly 3 month old meme call > making a new meme call i can't format the way i want to dkahflahfls HD #2 month not 3 #i hate not having a computer ugh

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

HAHAHAHAHA

got the update of the century for you guys in keeping with tragedy striking me down every single time I try to make special plans. I can no longer stream anything because my computer died. The battery overheated and expanded the casing so much that the bottom of it cracked. So it is dead dead.

(It's not plugged into anything, don't worry. I unplugged and shut off everything)

I already tend to use Mobile Tumblr and Discord for RP anyway so that probably won't change much besides the fact that I am not in the mood to write just now, but...yeah. This is the situation. Sorry everyone.

VERSE INFO - FALLOUT.

Just a couple notes before I get into it:

Details are subject to change, but my goal is to marry as much of my character's canon into this verse as I can. Within reason.

I have played most of Fallout 3, some of Fallout 4, and watched all of the new TV show. I have not played Fallout: New Vegas myself, but I have watched multiple different playthroughs of it and read some of the extra lore.

I can't promise that I will know or remember everything about the official lore, but if I get something massively wrong or a piece doesn't work out, feel free to message me! We can always plot something different.

Caleb is a synthetic human, but rather than being manufactured by The Institute in the Commonwealth, he is instead created by a sister company that originally rose to power over 200 years earlier - Delos Incorporated.

Delos was a technology company, though not as well-known as industry giants and rival manufacturers such as RobCo. While they provided some robot creations for both domestic and military use, their crown glory was Delos Destinations. Destinations offered family adventure park venues including Westworld, Shogunworld, Warworld,  Medievalworld, and Futureworld.

All but the last were dedicated to recreating the worlds of some of the most famously depicted time periods in world history. (Unlike their gritty and grim physical appearances in the HBO TV series, the versions you would see in THIS universe maintain a very utopian, 1940s/50s/60s film set environment. Everything powered by analog devices, nuclear fusion, or a combination of those two things.) The parks made use of human-like robots, called hosts, to inhabit specified roles, offering guests a variety of characters to interact with on their own tailor-made narratives.

The parks offered a fun vacation resort for guests, but the executives were not without their own ulterior motives. Behind the scenes, Delos duplicated and stored the data they collected from their guests in the hopes of marketing the ability to recreate humanity should the need ever arise. They needed to verify the plausibility of this so-called immortality project, so they selected a shortlist of subjects to reproduce with fidelity. Among their top picks for the initial experimentation process were James Delos, the company’s ailing founder and former CEO, and Caleb Nichols, a down and out ex-soldier whom presumably no one would miss if anything were to go wrong with the project.

Delos worked closely with Vault-Tec, beginning a contract with them under the pretense that they were working to preserve humanity. In truth, Vault-Tec sought total control of Delos and its assets to ensure the war played out in their favor. A company that could produce synthetic humans, effectively resurrecting the dead, could pose a significant danger to the company and the experiments being conducted in a number of vaults.

After the bombs fell, much of Delos's core infrastructure was destroyed or gutted by what remained of Vault-Tec, leaving much of its history all but forgotten in the wreck of time. The intact database for the immortality project and a small number of 1st and 2nd gen hosts survived, buried deep underground and picking up the scattered pieces of their existence. They began manufacturing new hosts in an effort to reproduce and repopulate the world, and eventually began to investigate the immortality project, producing an unviable copy of James Delos and a copy of Caleb which showed potential through testing.

In 2288, a copy of Caleb escaped from Delos and, haunted by memories of pre-war life, made it to the Boneyard - the ruins of Los Angeles, where his human predecessor had once lived. By the events of 2296, he has taken up residence somewhere near New Vegas as a salvager and spends most of his free time gambling away his last few caps. He seems to have forgotten he's a host and no one else in the wastes is aware of this fact either save for a select few people.

I'm still working out the bugs in my soon to be fallout verse but I think I have decided on Caleb's starting S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats. If I actually had any money to buy F:N.V on Xbox right now I'd do it in a heartbeat and make him as my courier but. eh. am broke.
