One of, if not the most, important aspect of Fallout Roleplay is indeed the system. It is here that we most differentiate ourselves from other Rp sites and give our members the utmost freedom. Before I begin I would like to say that with this incredible amount of freedom we expect our members to behave maturely in using it. That means don't try to cheat, don't try and overpower yourself, don't try and short stick someone elses power. While all of these are outlined in the rules thread, I feel like they need to be expressed again.
Onto the system
For this demonstration I will be guiding a new member named "Jay Jay" through the process of character creation and Rp
Jay Jay------->
Me: So Jay Jay, you ready to create a character?
Jay Jay: Yes sir, ma'sa sir
Me: Then Let's get to it, the first step is pickin a name for you character, do you have a name in mind?
Jay Jay: Dj Fried Chicken?
Me: That works fine Jay Jay, Good Job
Jay Jay: So what do I do now ma'sa
Me: Well now Jay Jay, your gonna need to pick his age, gender and physical description, personality and history
Jay Jay: Can I do it in Crayon?
Me: Of Course Jay Jay, can I ask though, how'd you get Crayons?
Jay Jay: Sold my food stamps
Me: Ah, Continue
*2 day's later*
Me: So how's it coming Jay Jay?
Jay Jay: I think I'm just about done, what do I do know?
Me: Well know that all of your aesthetic description is done you should pick your abilities
Jay Jay: ABILITIES, Now that's a big word their ma'sa, what's it mean?
Me: Basically since your a new member here you get 3 powers or talents chosen any way you like
Jay Jay: So, I could get 1 power and two talents or 3 talents or 3 powers
Me: Sure can Jay Jay, any combination you like, but remember each one is level 1
Jay Jay: Wait, there's levels for these powers too O=
Me: Course there is, gotta give something for people to work towards. There's four levels, each with it's own parameters and limitations.
Jay Jay: So how do I get from one level to the next?
Me: Well Jay Jay, you do this by Rp'in
Jay Jay: Rp'in.....training?
Me: No, Just Rp'ing although you can do some form of training if you like
Jay Jay: Rp'in....monotonous missions and objects which hold no purpose of which I'm interested?
Me: Again No, just rp'ing
Jay Jay: Are you telling me that all I have to do is Rp and I'll get the next level?
Me: Sure am, basically you do your thing, have fun and when you feel like you've done enough, turn in an application
Jay Jay: That's amazing
Me: That's not the end of it, you can turn your application in for a level up in one of your abilities OR a new level one ability
Jay Jay: Wait, I can gain ANOTHER ability, instead of a level up
Me: Sure Can Jay Jay
Jay Jay: What happens if I die though?
Me: Then You can make a new character with the same total of levels you had before. So if you had a level one, two and three before you can have a level one, two and three again, distributed however you please
Jay Jay: That sounds awesome Ma'sa
Me: Why Yes Jay Jay, it is pretty Awesome isn't it
Jay Jay: So now that I have my powers picked out and my starting weapon what do I do
Me: YOUR ACCEPTED
Jay Jay: HELL YEAH SUCKA
Jay Jay: *Leaves To Rp*
Me:......
Me: Da fuck did my Kool Aid Go?
A little confused? Well let's recap

A little confused? Well let's recap
- An Ability is either a Power *Super Speed, Fire Manipulation, Stretching, etc* or a Talent *Blades, Computers, Cars, etc*
- When You Create a character you get 3 Talents or Powers distributed however you like (2 powers and a talent, 3 talents, 3 powers, 2 talents and a power) each at Level 1
- You gain higher levels or new abilities when you Rp and fill out a Rank Up Application
- If you Die your allowed to re-locate your points to whatever you wish based on what you had before. If you had 2 level 3's and a level 2 then you can have a new character with 2 level 3's and a level 2
