$wag/Equipment: Poet doesn't carry much, she is a lady not a pack mule! Poet carries nothing more than a plasma pistol taken from a crashed Enclave Raptor, a pack of cherry flavored cigarello's ( think small cigars ), and she wears a pleasant dress found in her home and base of operations.
Biography (preferably at least two paragraphs long, though I can tolerate a short biography if I know you're a good RPer): Poet is a pony who's past is veiled in mystery, for the sake of secrecy of course. If somepony were to unearth her most undignified history, no doubt would her reputation be ruined. You seem like trustworthy folk, so without further ado, I present the history of Madame Poet.
Poet's background is truly a rags to riches story. She was born some ways east of the wasteland, slave to a wealthy land baron. Her owner was a stallion who demanded perfection, nothing less. He made sure that as a filly, Poet was taught to behave like a proper filly. Slave or not, she should be refined and respectful. At times she was more a court fool ( in the Elizabethan sense ) than she was a slave.
Unlike the houseslaves, who often looked at Poet in disgust, our young heroine was the baron's own personal slave. She was trained to take care of her owner, she cooked for him, cleaned up after him, and accompanied him everywhere. As the baron's personal assistant, Poet developed something of a superiority complex that oftentimes got her in trouble.
Poet grew, and grew, until her eighteenth birthday. By now, her beloved master ( Stockholm Syndrome is a hell of a thing) had grown old and ill. Upon his death, only months after Poet becoming a mare, Poet found herself inheriting his lands, as well s gaining her freedom. The baron had no family, and no close friends. Poet had been his only companion.
Rather than stay in his estate, Poet gathered her caps and set out to the west, in search of Stable City. Before she could reach the veritable oasis in the wasteland, Poet came across a Ministry of Image office. Why go to Stable City when all she could want was right there? Using her small fortune, Poet hired several workers, and set about renovating the modest Ministry office.
When the office was done, Poet found herself with more caps than ever, and a brigade of willing workers. With all her ambition, Poet decided to put these workers to good use. Thus, Poet's Old Equestria Trading Company was founded in the wasteland.
The OETC specialized in prewar requisitions, and with Stable City, a settlement filled with ponies who shared her values, became rather successful. Using raw materials, and salvaged parts, she built several caravans vaguely resembling the carts used by traveling salepony's before even the Ministry's.
RP Sample (required for people I don't know): Pretty much every other Fallout Equestria RP :3
