32... Ouch.

[The Assorted Saharan Outposts]

Oh, huh. I have very good karma. Guess I should have expected that?

[Turkducken]

A strength of 2 just means I'm super weak right, it doesn't mean I'm like crippled or something?

It can, if you want there to be reasons why the character has certain low Specials, but do not believe it is a requirement, as far as i know.

Biography:

Vlatko was born without a name to a human prostitute in Dayglow, sometime in the November of 2255. Vlatko was born with a deformed leg, that garnered him ridicule from local residents and his mother. Vlatko was neglected regularly as a baby, being deprived of most nutrients except for the rare feedings, and saw the sunlight rarely. When he turned six years old his mother had arranged to sell him to a local pimp as debt repayment, but he was saved by a Doctor from the Followers of the Apocalypse.
Being taken in by the Followers meant Vlatko was moved to the Boneyard, where he lived and was educated by the Followers. He selected his first and last name himself, and rather than choosing between the two, he kept both as his first and last name. The Followers did what they could for the malnourished child, but most of the damage was permanent. Although they attempted to surgically correct his malformed leg, he still walked with a limp, and at the age of ten he was found to be nearsighted and they provided him with prescription glasses. In 2275 Vlatko was part of the initial Follower expedition into the Mojave, he had spent years learning about medicine and chemistry, as well as learning practical skills in diagnostics and troubleshooting, both for robots and everyday appliances.
During this time in the Mojave, Vlatko begins to experiment with chems, as a performance enhancing means. This yielded initial success, he was commended greatly in his performances by Julie Fawkes and other Follower leaders in the Region, but eventually he fell into a cycle of addiction. What started as performance enhancement, became the maintenance of mediocrity. Vlakto became chemically dependent on Med-X and Psycho, and the lows between the highs were increasing, as every hit gave him less and less of a high. An intervention took place, and in 2277, he began undergoing detox and treatment at the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. While he eventually was weaned off the drugs, he fell back into addiction when he began taking Mentats as a way of coping with anxiety. While the Followers at the Fort were sympathetic, they couldn't help someone who didn't want to help themselves, and Vlatko left the group. He wondered around Freeside for a year, from drug den to drug den, slowly working his way up to an overdose. However in a cruel twist of fate, a run in with a member of the Freeside Gang The Kings, saved him from this eventual overdose; but left a long scar across his back left forearm.
Forced to wonder the wastes Vlatko, with a steady stream of fixer, eventually overcame his chem addictions. Settling down in the settlement of Cottonwood Cove, he became the local doctor and surgeon, carving out a living for himself at the riverside community. In 2281 the Legion began a rapid expansion back into the Mojave, and Cottonwood Cove was the first target, the residents found themselves held captive and were forced to participate in a "lottery" for their survival. Vlatko was forced to watch as his neighbors were crucified, covered in pitch and burned, and fed to the Legion Mongrels. Vlatko himself was one of the lucky ones, and placed second in the lottery, as reward his legs were bound and a wooden wedge hammered in between them. Breaking both of his legs at the kneecaps. The Legion dumped him at the edge of town, and Vlatko was forced to crawl to some form of safety, however he passed out in the middle of the desert before reaching the nearest settlement. When he came to he found himself in the cave of an old Super Mutant, who called himself Steven, who had bandaged his wounds as best as he knew how. This allowed Vlatko time to heal his wounds, and he rebound and retreated his broken legs. Managing to save his previously normal leg, but his troubled bum leg was permanently damaged, forcing him to walk with a permanent limp. The Super Mutant called Steven left the cave for food one night never to return.
Vlatko waited several days, subsisting off of the food stores in the cave, before looting anything useful and leaving the cave behind. He returned to the New Vegas area, optimistically looking for the Followers to take him back, but was captured by the Fiends. Forced to beg for his life, he told the Fiends he could keep them supplied with chems, just so long as they wouldn't kill him. Demonstrating his chemical abilities, he made Psycho for some new Fiend recruits and watched them beat other captive wastelanders to death. Satisfied with the potency of his chems, the Fiends kept him alive but enslaved, forcing him to make chems in Vault 3. Fiend leadership would collapse later in the same year, and Vlatko made a daring escape during the Courier's extermination of Motor-Runner. He returned again to Freeside, using his new appreciation of the drug trade to carve out another living, but in 2283 was chased out by the Kings once again. He spent the next few years eating up his own supplies of chems, while still selling some, as he traveled North. In 2288 he arrived in Portland, Oregon a functioning addict, where he once again began peddling chems on the street. When the NCR claimed the city in 2289 he joined the Exodus North, not wanting to deal with the taxation and hassle of NCR troopers.

Currently on March 22, 2289 he's riding a high from the previous night, but Vlatko knows he'll need another soon. He always does.

Do Not Remove: 2299

I've commissioned an artist to draw the character I've had in mind, and I'll add an image as soon as the commission is done.

Am I the only one who hates posting Works-In-Progress? Honestly, what does it achieve? Just take the time to finish the post and then post it; nobody wants to see other peoples' lackluster first drafts posted all over the place.

I’m just heading off to work and want to save my progress on the site. I typically don’t like to leave WIPs, but I typically just go back and edit the previous app and quote it, rather than clutter a whole bunch of apps.

WiP apps are pretty benign. Not everyone can finish an app in one sitting. Sure, it can be annoying of people to start an app and then drop out, but so long as WiP posts stay in the OOC I don't see the harm.

Or.

Or they post the WIP to get feedback on a certain aspect which is the only part made (Like the bio) and later-on go back to edit it before posting or otherwise notifying the OP that it's done.

I've done a few bios that take more than one session, man.

Sometimes you need to get something out, but cannot take the time to fully finish it, that is why, sometimes it is best to get the thing out and down, then finish it later.

Well, it's security, no? If you post it, then it's definetely not going anywhere and you can keep it there. Keep it in the reply box, it's definetelly going to go away if you leave it too long, and a a word document can get corrupted every now and then. Sure, google docs can work but perhaps not everybody has google docs?

And what everybody else said, too.

You know, NS actually has a very convenient system for saving your unfinished posts that doesn't require posting them and editing them later. All you have to do is click the "Save draft" button to the left of the Submit and Previous buttons, then you have a nice copy made for you. Your drafts can then be viewed in the Control Panel (found just to the left of the "View your posts button") under the "Manage drafts" tab. Alternatively, saved drafts can be accessed simply by going back the thread, opening up the post window, and then a button labeled "Load draft" will appear next to the "Save draft" button, that will automatically load the draft you made for that thread.

Alternatively, you can just copy and paste your draft into a Notepad file which you can open up later to continue working on.

Saving your work without posting it is so easy, and yet so many people decide to post their unfinished writing instead of saving it and waiting until they can post the finished product. Maybe it's not a huge deal, but it does, nonetheless, create unnecessary clutter. Same with tag posts; you can bookmark topics by using the button at the bottom of the thread, which makes a tag post totally unnecessary.

I honestly don't see the problem. Sure it's clutter initially, but eventually it will be a finished app. Who cares?

Again.

Editing a post already made is a thing.

I'm still here, not dead! i'm going to get a post up tonight for Ahote.

I feel like this is making an issue where there is none. Unfinished character applications, like tags, are going to happen regardless of your personal opinions and I'm sure that many of us here have posted WiP apps at some point in time. Heck, my character apps were WiP before I finished them the following day. And as Ormata said (and this slipped my mind) it can be a good way to receive feedback if so desired before going through and finishing up things that may need changed regardless. Is it clutter? Possibly, but I feel it;s nothing to be concerned over.

[Arengin Union]

Huhhhh... Neutral.

[Independent States of Tula]

Huhhhh... Neutral.

Could be because you wanted to kill those two people rather than straight up surrender. I wouldn't agree, but hey, we'll all see our true Karmas as time goes on I'm sure. *Evil Laugh*

[Shadowwell]

No, that, that was just foolishness.

I believe the karma has to do with both the characters backstory, and how they have acted IC'ly.

I mean, they did kill our fellow Ranger :v


But yeah, we all get what is coming to us.

Gonna make the 12 year-old girl the most evil character in the RP.

Gotta feel bad for her tbh, though it'll be interesting to see how she goes this RP.

[Dernland]

Consider this a tag. Can I create a Doctor in Hope?
