Name: Asher Parker
Nickname (Optional): N/A
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearance: Asher is Caucasian with brown eyes and brown hair. He wears a somewhat tattered green tank top, and some tattered blue jeans. On his left hip, the Pip Boy case containing DI-74 is attached. He also has a backpack full of parts and his few belongings.
Personality:
Asher:
Asher is quiet and keeps to himself. He doesn’t like other people, because they are unpredictable. He often tries to get people to pity him to get what he wants (usually parts for his inventions). His only “friend” is the AI DI-74. Due to his traumatizing childhood he sometimes has emotional breakdowns when dealing with events or people that remind him of his father. He also hates the NCR and blames them for the death of his father, even though his father’s death was completely his father’s fault.
DI-74:
DI-74 hates humans because he thinks they are useless, easy to kill “meatbags”. The only exception to this opinion is the “master” who believes would be better as a robot, and deserves better than being a human. Most of the time he will make sarcastic comments about the usefulness of other meatbags, reminisce about when he had a body and was able to do things besides talk, and try to keep his master from going insane.

Informatory: I feel a need to inform you that this may not be the last time I have been awake due to the damage to my memory core that I seem to have sustained in the time between that playback and now. Request: If you are satisfied with this amount of information I would request that you find me a body and a competent meatbag to install me into it.
Asher: I can’t afford any of that… I could try to upgrade you myself though.
DI-74: Informatory: My sensors indicate that your age is quite low, and you may not be suited to the job of repairing such an advanced robot such as myself.
Asher: No, I can do it, if I can find the parts.
DI-74: Informatory: If you think you can repair me, go ahead, but I request that you proceed with the utmost care, master.
Asher: Wait… am I your master now?
DI-74: My programming states that my master is the first meatba- I mean human that I interact with if I cannot remember my last master, and it would appear that I cannot.
Asher: I’m going to shut you down now and do some work then.
DI-74: Request: Proceed with the utmost care master. I am very expen…

Background (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs):
Asher was born to two NCR citizens in the town of New California Republic (formerly Shady Sands). As fortune would have it, his mother perished due to birth complications, leaving Asher's father, Jonathan Parker to raise him alone. Jonathan was a trader who owned a stall in the bazaar of NCR. The stall also served as an impromptu home for the two. Life was good, but it could have been better. Business was not terrible, but it wasn’t great either. When Asher was only three years old, his father discovered him tinkering around with some spare parts that he had found. Ever since, his father gave him whatever spare parts he could afford, or any that he could find. These mostly consisted of things that he had traded for that weren’t really worth much and he could afford to spare. Due to his obsession with mechanics, Asher never really talked with other people much. The exception was always his father who Asher loved more than anything because he was the only person who cared for him.
Then, tragedy struck, as it tends to in the wasteland, and Jonathan’s business was no longer profitable. Asher never understood why his father’s business failed. When Asher was eight, his father left to join the NCR army, as it was the only way he could make money. Asher was alone for most of his time now. As opposed to going out and making friends with new kids like most his age would do, Asher just became more secluded. He rarely went out to talk or interact with other people and even then it was only to get (either by theft or guilt) new parts for him to tinker with. Due to the origins of NCR, there were plenty of unused mechanical parts lying around that nobody would miss if they happened to disappear. Asher’s father came home once in a while, bringing Asher anything interesting he had found during his service in Nevada. One of the things that Asher’s father brought home was of particular interest to Asher despite his father not really understanding its significance. It was the AI core of a robot that identified itself as DI-74. Despite its peculiar hatred of humans, Asher and the AI became friends. This relationship only intensified Asher’s seclusion, and he also came to dislike humans as a result. DI-74 came to like his new master because he was unlike the other humans he had dealt with, and considered his master far superior to the average human- for better or for worse. Asher attempted to add peripherals to DI-74 several times, but eventually found that DI-74 access ports were uniquely made, and far too old to ever be used again to do anything with, such as installing him into a body, much to the distress of DI-74.
As if Asher’s life wasn’t messed up enough, tragedy once again befell Asher. During an engagement with Caesar’s Legion, his father threw himself on a grenade to save his squad mates. Asher was only thirteen at the time. He blamed his father’s death on the NCR and decided to leave his home town. He found an old empty Pip Boy shell, and used it as a sort of case for DI-74. He packed up his few belongings and, hearing of the prospect of advanced technologies in San Francisco, decided to head there in hopes of finding more friends like DI-74.

Don't mean to be rude, but you're missing a few key things.
- Personality: The very essence of your character is to be described here, and it's blank. Problematic.
- RP Example: This example is little more than jumbled dialogue, while it shows you can talk with the technicalities expected of a protectron, it does little else to show me you could tackle one on one RP, or even combat RP for that matter. It's a cool little tid-bit you've added, but I suggest writing something different to give you a wider range to work with.
- Background: A number of things here make this a bumpy road. For one, the father who loved his son more than anything left him completely alone at the age of 8 to go on military tours and serve on duty? There is no way an 8 year old could provide for themselves for an extended period of time as you suggest here. Also, regarding DI-74, I am afraid this is not going to work, and if it does, it won't be as you described. Fully functional Artificial Intelligences were not deployed into combat bots at the time of the war, the government was focused on other things, and AI's in the game are actually very rare. To simply have an NCR soldier pick one up with no description seems nigh near impossible, and with all the work you'd have to go through to explain why it was there, how it was there, what it was even doing, what it's purpose was, yada yada yada, I believe it would be easier to just drop it. You can make a unique character without diving into left field. Also, you say his father was killed by Legion? That's quite the distance from the NCR Shady Sands to anyplace where the Legion would even be, you know.
This app has a few problems here, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Little hard work and you'll be in in no time, until then,

IC: Name:Dimitri Nickname:no nickname Age:21 Gender:Male Appearance: Average height, light brown hair, light brown eyes, and caucasian. Personality: Cautious, adventurous, daring, and small hearted (cares a little bit but not much, wasn't sure if thats actually a term).
In-game RP example: As Dimitri walks into the bar, he sits up by the counter next to a disgrace of man that goes by Jake.
Dimitri:So Jake, do you have the my money and my ride.
Jake:Well...um.. not exactly.
Dimitri looks at Jake
Dimitri:You got to be kidding, thats the third time this month that you came up short.
Jake:I'm sorry! But do you know how hard it is to get these things without any caps and no way to get them.
Dimitri gets up.
Dimitri:Then why offer to pay me to take out that fiend encampment if you cant even afford food!
Jake:I..but..um...
Dimitri smacks Jake across the face.
Jake then falls to the floor.
Jake:(unmanly yelp)
Dimitri: Either get me the stuff you owe me or I'll skin your sorry hide.
Dimitri walks out, leaving Jake sobbing on the floor. Background: Dimitri was born into a small family, just his mother, father, and himself. He also lived in a small town in the southern part of Nevada. His parents have always wanted to go to New Vegas, so one day in around the time that would be spring they had collected enough money to go to New Vegas. They only made enough to take themselves and not Dimitri. They decided that he could handle himself at their home alone, they then left. As they were on their trip to New Vegas they where murdered by a group of fiends, leaving poor Dimitri to live by himself.
By the age of 19 Dimitri was still living in the same house that he lived in with his parents.He always goes around searching ruins trying to find weapons, ammo, and anything else useful. He also every once and a while will take any jobs from people to make some caps. Before he lived in san francisco he decided that he was tired of the same old things so he went to live there and get a change of scenery and/or start a new life. He then heads toward San Francisco for his two year trip and may be arriving soon...

yeah no problem
Bada bada bada! Hey hey hey, its selbor!
ego sum whitelister.
Anyways, let's review your application!
- Meta-gaming definition is a bit shaky. Could you define it further or create an example for me? Look at accepted applications for the correct definition of Meta-gaming.
- Power-gaming is wrong. Check/look at accepted applications for further information on what the real definition of Power-gaming is.
In your RP example, I find it weird that Dimitri was violent yet never had any encounters with bandits or fiends before. Fix that please? Other then that, add quotation marks, and I'm pretty sure this "Jake" wouldn't just take a slap to the face. Make the actions more interesting.
Appearance and personality can be buffed up! Especially personality. Is he cautious? Brave? Fool-hearty? Or just plain ignorant? Add on!
Background: - How did he know they died? His parents didn't have a Courier waiting to deliver news of their death, didn't they?
-How did he know San Fran existed? Caravan gossip? Please add detail!
- A last name as well, too.
You're wobbling on the path to being accepted, but you'll get there soon if you fix the errors and inconsistencies.
Thank you for looking this over but for now: Denied.

For one, I do have a personality. I see how it can be misleading because it's on the next line because there is two, one for Asher and one for the AI.
As for the RP example , I wouldn't say the dialogue is jumbled, because it does follow a logical chain of events.It says no where that I have to include actions such as fighting, just dialogue, which has been included. While it is a bit of a glorified monologue, I see no where that says that that is not acceptable.
As of the background, besides the fact that I never stated anywhere that the father loved his son more than anything in the world (you might have misread the sentence saying Asher loved his father more than anything in the world and construed it as that). And if he did, he would probably try to provide for his son however possible, and if that means going off and fighting in the NCR military, then so be it. There are also several instances of orphans and young children surviving alone in fallout (such as Little Lamplight). Also, it would not be inconceivable for an NCR soldier from Shady Sands to go fight in the Mojave Wasteland, where the NCR - Legion war took place. On a bit of a side note, that war started in 2277, which would have made Asher 12, and his father died in combat when he was 13, and the server starts in 2279, when Asher would have been 14 so the timing is perfect too.
When I was writing about the AI, I was not aware that I had to do a backstory for it as well as write about how his father found it. I thought it was good enough to say "his father found it" since it's really just a way for my character to talk to himself. Also, no where does it say that it was an AI from a government robot, or pre-war. In fact, I would find it quite odd if it were to be manufactured by the government, considering it wanted to kill all the meatbags. It's possible that it was put together post-war by someone such as Mr. House, which would also explain it;s location. If you have any other unanswered questions, tell me and I'll see if I can answer them

Ah, I do see now that you had indeed thrown a personality in there, forgive me for missing that.
Regarding your RP example, where you see "no where that says this is unacceptable", that's not entirely true, as I have just told you as such that it is not acceptable enough to get you approved. In order for a whitelister to accept this app you will have to include actions, they do not have to be combat but they must show me you can perform in RP past simple dialogue. Please expand this, as asked.
As for the background, yes, it seems I put a word out of place but either way is it not safe to assume that a father would love his son more than anything? Beyond that, you've given me a lot of possibilities here, but that's all it has come down to, possibilities. The odds of a child surviving in a city with no family relations of any kind, and to top it off being as reclusive as he is, don't seem too high, and this is only because of how you've built the character, mind you. You're gonna have to explain just how he survived during this period for me to give it serious consideration.
I will say it up front that I am against this AI, it really does not make much sense due to lore, and with how you describe it it only sounds like a glorified imaginary friend. I don't think you understand the requirements and power that just having an AI would give your character. I'm going to take a hard decision here and prohibit the use of this AI in the character, I'm very sorry. Too many things work against it for me to allow it.

Name: Irish
Nickname: None
Age:34
Gender: Male
Appearance:Brown hair, blue eyes, an old and faded red plaid button up over a thick kevlar vest, with a white tee underneath. He wears worn blue jeans, a brown leather belt, and his favorite pair of brown work boots he found in an old shoe shop way out on the east coast. He is muscular from his exercise routines that he tries his best to keep up with.
Personality: Irish is a good ally, and a nice person to have living in your neighborhood as he is helpful to his friends. To his enemies, he is ruthless and unforgiving, usually never never saying no to a chance to get revenge. He is not one to start a fight, but will not back down if one is presented.
In-game RP example:
-Irish is walking down a road, when he spots a man trying to fix his motorbike-
Irish: Hey guy, you need some help?
Man: Yeah, if you'd oblige.
-Irish walks closer to the man, only for him to pull a knife-
Man: If you're smart, you'll step away and put all your valubles on the ground.
-Irish steps away, quickly coming up with a plan to counter the knife somehow. He remembers that he has a 9mm that is loaded and in his rucksack-
Irish: All right, I will. Man: Don't try anything funny, or Iwill stab you!
-Irish maintains eye contact with the man as he takes off his rucksack and holds it in his hands. He quickly takes out the 9mm and points it at the man. He goes to pop off a shot, but the guy ducks behind the motorbike-
Irish: Looks like the tables have turned, you *******. Stop hiding and accept your death!
-The man is enraged by this, and in a blind attempt, jumps out from behind the motorbike and runs at Irish, knife in hand.-
-Irish doesn't waste the chance, and fires three rounds into the man. Two of them hit his left lung, which Irish knows is fatal. The man drops to the ground, bleeding. Irish steps over and fires one last shot into the mans head, then puts his gun back in his pack, and walks away like nothing happened.
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Irish got his name ten years ago in 2261, when he beat someone in a drinking contest. He was a mercenary at the time, getting jobs from caravans going in and out of NYC. Everyone hired him because he was young and fit, thanks to his exercise routine. He didn't have many friends except some guys at a bar he frequented after jobs. He preferred not to have friends in this city, because your chance to die in this city could come fast if you made some wrong decisions.
He eventually left, hopping on one of the last working trains going west. He lived in New Vegas for a while, working out of Freeside as a merc again. While there, he met some blokes who eventually became his friends. Irish stayed in Freeside for six years, until one of his friends was killed by a drifter over a gambling bet. He left Freeside and the rest of his friends, who split apart after the incident. He traveled west, stopping in places along the way to California. Four years have past since the incident, and Irish hopes to make a new life here on the west coast. He powers up his Vault Boy 3000 getting a feel for the new area around him.
When I was writing about the AI, I was not aware that I had to do a backstory for it as well as write about how his father found it. I thought it was good enough to say "his father found it" since it's really just a way for my character to talk to himself. Also, no where does it say that it was an AI from a government robot, or pre-war. In fact, I would find it quite odd if it were to be manufactured by the government, considering it wanted to kill all the meatbags. It's possible that it was put together post-war by someone such as Mr. House, which would also explain it;s location. If you have any other unanswered questions, tell me and I'll see if I can answer them
Mr.House never put any robots together post-war. All his securitrons and technology were stockpiled by his human body before the bombs fell, and then locked away in the Lucky 38 and the bunker under the Legion camp. He no longer has the facilities to construct such delicate electronics.
It's important to keep in mind the severity of adding an AI with personality to the world, as it will result in huge technology leaps. Having an intelligent computer to assist you allows you to do so much more than you could without; the Shi are partially based around that concept. And this is assuming the AI is contained with no chance of moving to a body and becoming able to engage in combat, or "infect" enemy computers. With that, the AI becomes a super-weapon. All that aside, such advanced AI's would be unfathomably rare and delicate, due to their early stage of development. On the off-chance you did find one, any attempt to jury-rig peripherals would likely destroy it, as you would lack any relevant education as well as the miniature manufacturing ability. Heck, just putting a finger near a circuit could kill it, since you'd be charged with static due to your (inavoidable) failure to wear a grounding cuff.
But that's a good thing, since if you are bringing one into the server, please don't, under ANY circumstance, give it a body or attempt to develop it into anything more than a foil for your human character. And if your human character dies, take the AI with you.

'ello friend, I've read over your app and I like most of it, but I've got one thing to touch on.
- Background: You skipped over the childhood of Irish, that's some important stuff that I'd like to know as it will shape your character too. Even if it's boring, can you please add it? Also, you mentioned that he was born in NYC, but that he took a train to New Vegas. Now from what I saw in your RP example, you seem to have forgotten that in Fallout, we do not have motorbikes, cars, planes, or trains. There are very few exceptions to this, and they are usually extremely guarded and protected by those who hold power over them. But there is no working continental railroad for your character to hop on to make the move, I suggest having him born in the area.
Looking good, and once you change this up you'll get in much quicker, but for now,

He tends to be quite extroverted when others are around and is a slight people pleaser but is not afraid to call someone out when he believes they deserve it. He believes that self improvement is the only worthy use of time, whether it be physically, mentally, or socially. In that regard, he holds entertainment to be quite useless although he doesn't outright think negatively of it.
In-game RP example: (Include dialog)
*The backdrop is a crowded tavern late at night. Several of the patrons are angry and far from sane.*
Drunk 1: Hey you! You made me spill my drink!
Drunk 2: Not my fault your feet are like frozen skeevers!
*Drunk 1 proceeds to push 2 up a wall*
*Drunk 2 slumps down and falls to the side to get out of the hold*

*3 attempts to break his bottle over 4's head*
*4 dodges it and slams a fist into 3's jaw, knocking him into 5*
*5 turns and slugs 4*
*1 and 2 are having a good old fashioned fist fight as several more patrons are being thrown, punched, slammed with chairs and bottles*
*suddenly a guard slams open the door and everyone freezes*
Guard: Hmph.
*he saunters over to the bar and orders a drink*
*the fight commences*
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Lee, also known as, Tong Li Ma, was born to father, Tong You Peng, and mother, Tong Xiao Mei, in 2264. Tong You Peng was Shi Guard who was exiled after being called a hubologist sympathizer after refusing to kill a child of the rival faction when Lee was six years old. Tong Xiao Mei was a botanical and agricultural researcher who specialized in farming efficiency. Lee was a very virtuous child. Even at a young age he displayed respect, loyalty, and humility.
At the age of ten, the still young Tong Li Ma showed an affinity for martial arts and was determined to become a guard like his father. He tried to learn fighting skills anyway he could, through holodisks, observing guard training, and joining small gangs of like minded peers. In one gang, when he was 14 years of age, he developed a strong friendship with another boy the same age as him, Chi Zao Fan. They became intense sparring partners and people from all around the community would watch them fight, bets were placed, and they became a source of entertainment while honing their skills. Although he did not like attending events for pure entertainment, he believed entertaining people would be a self improvement of social and physical prowess.
Now 15, Lee wishes to join the guard and bring great honor to his family's name. He hopes that one day he will amass enough honor to bring his father back from exile. His secondary goal is to vanquish the dishonorable or find a way to turn them around.

IC: Name:Dimitri Ashin Nickname:no nickname Age:21 Gender:Male Appearance: Average height, light brown hair, light brown eyes, caucasian, and has worn down look to him. Personality: Cautious, adventurous, and small hearted (cares a little bit but not much, wasn't sure if thats actually a term).
In-game RP example: As Dimitri walks into the bar, he sits up by the counter next to a disgrace of man that goes by Jake.
Dimitri:"So Jake, do you have the my money and my ride."
Jake:"Well...um.. not exactly."
Dimitri looks at Jake
Dimitri:"You got to be kidding, thats the third time this month that you came up short."
Jake:"I'm sorry! But do you know how hard it is to get these things without any caps and no way to get them."
Dimitri gets up.
Dimitri:"Then why offer to pay me to take out that fiend encampment if you cant even afford food!"
Jake:"I..but..um..."
Dimitri smacks Jake across the face.
Jake attempts to block the slap but fails then he falls to the floor.
Jake:(unmanly yelp)
Dimitri: "Either get me the stuff you owe me or I'll skin your sorry hide."
Dimitri walks out, leaving Jake sobbing on the floor. Background: Dimitri was born into a small family, just his mother, father, and himself. He also lived in a small town in the southern part of Nevada. His parents have always wanted to go to New Vegas, so one day in around the time that would be spring they had collected enough money to go to New Vegas. They only made enough to take themselves and not Dimitri. They decided that he could handle himself at their home alone, they then left. As they were on their trip to New Vegas they where murdered by a group of fiends, leaving poor Dimitri to live by himself.
After awaiting many years for his parents to return he assumes they're dead. Three years later while still in the home he lived in with his parents, he was attacked by two raiders in his own home. The raiders thought since there was only a teenager living in the house it would be easy to raid. As the raiders broke into the house Dimitri was taken an tied to a pipe with some weak rope that was lying on the ground. Dimitri used a knife that lied on the ground nearby to cut the rope and kill the unsuspecting raiders that were too busy searching for loot. By the age of 19 Dimitri was still living in the same house that he lived in with his parents.He always goes around searching ruins trying to find weapons, ammo, and anything else useful. He also every once and a while will take any jobs from people to make some caps. Before he lived in san francisco he was at the bar in a nearby town, as he over hears some men talking about the place San Francisco he decided that he was tired of the same boring life and wanted to live there to start a new life. He then heads toward San Francisco for his two year trip and may be arriving soon...
Did not mean to type whole thing in bold but too late now.
Powers up vault boy 3000.(pip boy 3000 technically)
- Meta-gaming definition is a bit shaky. Could you define it further or create an example for me? Look at accepted applications for the correct definition of Meta-gaming.
- Power-gaming is wrong. Check/look at accepted applications for further information on what the real definition of Power-gaming is.
In your RP example, I find it weird that Dimitri was violent yet never had any encounters with bandits or fiends before. Fix that please? Other then that, add quotation marks, and I'm pretty sure this "Jake" wouldn't just take a slap to the face. Make the actions more interesting.
Appearance and personality can be buffed up! Especially personality. Is he cautious? Brave? Fool-hearty? Or just plain ignorant? Add on!
Background: - How did he know they died? His parents didn't have a Courier waiting to deliver news of their death, didn't they?
-How did he know San Fran existed? Caravan gossip? Please add detail!
- A last name as well, too.
You're wobbling on the path to being accepted, but you'll get there soon if you fix the errors and inconsistencies.
Thank you for looking this over but for now: Denied.
Well i've fixed the things you've mention although the subject on the character "Jake" in my opinion since the character is weakling he cant exactly do anything against the slap but i've changed it any way to avoid any kind of worthless argument. So other than that what do you think?

Define Role-Playing in your words: Role-playing is acting as someone else but with realistic emotions, feelings, and so on. Same with fighting, running, fleeing, speaking, and so on.
Define Meta-gaming in your words: Meta-gaming is using things that your character wouldn't know ingame from IRL. Things like this are usually done over PMS or said over TS3 or whatever. They don't know that an army is going to attack ingame but outside of the game they do and they use that knowledge to build defenses.
Define Power-gaming in your words: Power-Gaming is doing unrealistic things like jumping off a 90 foot cliff and surviving on hard concrete and giving your opponent/other player little or no chance to respond. This means no attempts just "Slits his throat" instead of "attempts to slit his throat with a sharp knife".

Name: Arden Anax
Nickname: N/A
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Brown hair, light brown beard, light colored skin, blue irises, 5feet 11 inches, 175 pounds, tattered blue t-shirt, worn leather blacksmith tunic over the front now colored grey from age.
Personality: He is a grumpy fellow who can get fairly nasty towards strangers. When he is with those he knows, he is less mean but can still be grumpy. He is a scientist but also one who would lift pipes and put them into place as he isn't a skinny nerd which is why he wears a leather tunic over his front like a blacksmith would. He hasn't seen any animals so he assumes they are disgusting creatures (until he meets one).
In-game RP example: (Include dialog) Arden walks into Chamber 109B with his white labcoat on and the checkboard in his hand. Loud noises signal his enter and scientists all around look towards him before back at their work. As Arden walks up to the glass behind the machines, he can see a Mutant through it sitting on a lone chair. His body so deformed and nasty that even though he has seen it plenty of times, he flinces. Turning to the scientist next to him, he asks questions.
Arden: How is it?
Scientist: No change. The vaccine has had no major effects on it. You could say it is less... agressive, sir?
Arden raises his brow and leans forward, tapping on the glass. Nearly immediately the Mutant's head jerks up and with a snarl, charges at the glass. This causes all of the scientists to jump back but the hardened glass holds. With a snarl, Arden glares at the scientist before storming out, leaving his checkboard on the floor.
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Born in 2252, Arden Anax was raised in a family who owned a library. Being this fortunate, he had access to many books when he grew up. However, during his younger age he would often have trouble getting along with other kids due to his fortunate birth and learning. This very easily gained him a nasty attitude towards others. His parents even got a taste of some of his grumpy attitude in which he was scolded for, but continued to do.
Upon the age of 18, in 2270, he was well educated and had a vast knowledge from studying for so many years. When he left the house, his first thoughts were to become a scientist and research vaccines, cures, and so on. Unfortunately, his first job didn't turn out that way as when he ran out of money, he had to become a maintanence worker. During this, he had to lift heavy pipes with others and fit it into place but very soon, he got enough money to leave and continue his journey towards knowledge, science, and research!

Daine: *breathing heavily, notices he has been shot in the leg after switching cover* "Crap crap crap!" *creates makeshift patch, and limps off to the nearest town* Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Daine is the son of a casino card counter. He grew up in Nevada,far north east of NewVegas, learning his fathers trade up to the age of 17. At that age he left his father dead in his home because of a dispute. He took up what he owned, and went to go make an "honest living" in New Vegas. He traveled down through the mountains and stole what he could. On this road he encountered the many perils of the wasteland, such as geckos and ants. He never shot once at them, because he always managed to out run them, or sneak past. He met many no-goods and people who he said "deserved another bullet" for "later use". On this road he learned to steal better and shoot faster. He was but always a nobody though, for his deeds were barely noticed, and few people cared. He made his way all the way up to NewVegas after a month of traveling. He became rich very fast and was soon living the highlife. He bought nice suits, nice guns, nice women, whatever he could buy. Card counting was good, until the owner of the luck 38 found out. He ran out of town after the news was out. He went as far as he could go, all the way to Primm. He stayed low here, he was never known to anyone. He didn't steal, he didn't even cheat at a game of caravan. He hid his money in a hole he had dug under the ruins of a house in good springs. But once the owners of the casinos sent there peons and grunts out to find him, he was surely a goner. One mercenary got the best of him. Hired with one mission, to get him back alive to the 2nd in command of the Lucky 38- Drake. He shot him in the side above his hip, to cause the least amount of damage while making him vulnerable. he then bagged him and loaded him on his caravan. He awoke in a small room. Drake welcomed him to hell, and had him beaten daily until he told. after the third day he couldn't take it. He told Drake were he hid the money, and then was knocked out. He came-to in the Mojave, and wandered until he fainted at the Doc's doorstep. After a week of being helped back to health, he left. And then his life began once more. No money, no guns. And a simpak.

Hello I am Gdp203 and I am reviewing your app.
First things first lets crack down on things or problems you might need to fix.
-Unusual way to put it for PG, but I guess I can let it pass. It does mean giving the player no chance to retaliate but I will expect that to be added.
-Speech craft and batering wouldn't belong in appearance unless he is extremely good looking or something, that would fall in personality, please fix. Saying he has a love for energy weapons also seems out of place, fix aswell.
-Personality could use more work and meat aswell.
-RP example could be more fleshed, don't be afraid to use adjectives my dear boy.
-Backstory could use more detail. What was his early life like? How did he get good with trading? Is he a lobster?! (that was my pathetic attempt at being funny, feel free to NOT laugh,) stuff like that does matter. Also try to describe his associates, doesn't have to revolve around you. You can also describe how he got those skills, or describe the training if you will. Stuff like that matters.

IC: Name:Dimitri Ashin Nickname:no nickname Age:21 Gender:Male Appearance: Average height, light brown hair, light brown eyes, caucasian, and has worn down look to him. Personality: Cautious, adventurous, and small hearted (cares a little bit but not much, wasn't sure if thats actually a term).
In-game RP example: As Dimitri walks into the bar, he sits up by the counter next to a disgrace of man that goes by Jake.
Dimitri:"So Jake, do you have the my money and my ride."
Jake:"Well...um.. not exactly."
Dimitri looks at Jake
Dimitri:"You got to be kidding, thats the third time this month that you came up short."
Jake:"I'm sorry! But do you know how hard it is to get these things without any caps and no way to get them."
Dimitri gets up.
Dimitri:"Then why offer to pay me to take out that fiend encampment if you cant even afford food!"
Jake:"I..but..um..."
Dimitri smacks Jake across the face.
Jake attempts to block the slap but fails then he falls to the floor.
Jake:(unmanly yelp)
Dimitri: "Either get me the stuff you owe me or I'll skin your sorry hide."
Dimitri walks out, leaving Jake sobbing on the floor. Background: Dimitri was born into a small family, just his mother, father, and himself. He also lived in a small town in the southern part of Nevada. His parents have always wanted to go to New Vegas, so one day in around the time that would be spring they had collected enough money to go to New Vegas. They only made enough to take themselves and not Dimitri. They decided that he could handle himself at their home alone, they then left. As they were on their trip to New Vegas they where murdered by a group of fiends, leaving poor Dimitri to live by himself.
After awaiting many years for his parents to return he assumes they're dead. Three years later while still in the home he lived in with his parents, he was attacked by two raiders in his own home. The raiders thought since there was only a teenager living in the house it would be easy to raid. As the raiders broke into the house Dimitri was taken an tied to a pipe with some weak rope that was lying on the ground. Dimitri used a knife that lied on the ground nearby to cut the rope and kill the unsuspecting raiders that were too busy searching for loot. By the age of 19 Dimitri was still living in the same house that he lived in with his parents.He always goes around searching ruins trying to find weapons, ammo, and anything else useful. He also every once and a while will take any jobs from people to make some caps. Before he lived in san francisco he was at the bar in a nearby town, as he over hears some men talking about the place San Francisco he decided that he was tired of the same boring life and wanted to live there to start a new life. He then heads toward San Francisco for his two year trip and may be arriving soon...
Did not mean to type whole thing in bold but too late now.

Well i've fixed the things you've mention although the subject on the character "Jake" in my opinion since the character is weakling he cant exactly do anything against the slap but i've changed it any way to avoid any kind of worthless argument. So other than that what do you think?
Ello, PhD here to review your application.
-Appearance. I would prefer you go into a little bit more detail about him. What is he wearing? Is he strong? Tall?
-Personality. I would like this to have a bit more detail. Is he trustworthy? Does he enjoy company?
-Backstory. He must've been pretty young when they left him, how did he survive, considering he doesn't know how to hunt, stealing is difficult and scavenging is dangerous. Why wouldn't the raiders just kill him? Wouldn't a knife laying on the ground stand out, even too the raiders? How could someone who has little to no previous experience with a weapon, kill two hardened raiders?
You are super close to acceptance. Without a doubt you can get in next attempt.
Sadly, until you fix those errors, I will have to say you are...

Define Role-Playing in your words: Role-playing is acting as someone else but with realistic emotions, feelings, and so on. Same with fighting, running, fleeing, speaking, and so on.
Define Meta-gaming in your words: Meta-gaming is using things that your character wouldn't know ingame from IRL. Things like this are usually done over PMS or said over TS3 or whatever. They don't know that an army is going to attack ingame but outside of the game they do and they use that knowledge to build defenses.
Define Power-gaming in your words: Power-Gaming is doing unrealistic things like jumping off a 90 foot cliff and surviving on hard concrete and giving your opponent/other player little or no chance to respond. This means no attempts just "Slits his throat" instead of "attempts to slit his throat with a sharp knife".

IC:
Name: Arden Anax
Nickname: N/A
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Brown hair, light brown beard, light colored skin, blue irises, 5feet 11 inches, 175 pounds, tattered blue t-shirt, worn leather blacksmith tunic over the front now colored grey from age.
Personality: He is a grumpy fellow who can get fairly nasty towards strangers. When he is with those he knows, he is less mean but can still be grumpy. He is a scientist but also one who would lift pipes and put them into place as he isn't a skinny nerd which is why he wears a leather tunic over his front like a blacksmith would. He hasn't seen any animals so he assumes they are disgusting creatures (until he meets one).
In-game RP example: (Include dialog) Arden walks into Chamber 109B with his white labcoat on and the checkboard in his hand. Loud noises signal his enter and scientists all around look towards him before back at their work. As Arden walks up to the glass behind the machines, he can see a Mutant through it sitting on a lone chair. His body so deformed and nasty that even though he has seen it plenty of times, he flinces. Turning to the scientist next to him, he asks questions.
Arden: How is it?
Scientist: No change. The vaccine has had no major effects on it. You could say it is less... agressive, sir?
Arden raises his brow and leans forward, tapping on the glass. Nearly immediately the Mutant's head jerks up and with a snarl, charges at the glass. This causes all of the scientists to jump back but the hardened glass holds. With a snarl, Arden glares at the scientist before storming out, leaving his checkboard on the floor.
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Born in 2252, Arden Anax was raised in a family who owned a library. Being this fortunate, he had access to many books when he grew up. However, during his younger age he would often have trouble getting along with other kids due to his fortunate birth and learning. This very easily gained him a nasty attitude towards others. His parents even got a taste of some of his grumpy attitude in which he was scolded for, but continued to do.
Upon the age of 18, in 2270, he was well educated and had a vast knowledge from studying for so many years. When he left the house, his first thoughts were to become a scientist and research vaccines, cures, and so on. Unfortunately, his first job didn't turn out that way as when he ran out of money, he had to become a maintanence worker. During this, he had to lift heavy pipes with others and fit it into place but very soon, he got enough money to leave and continue his journey towards knowledge, science, and research!

Server ip plz?
Hey, PhD here
-Appearance. How does he have a blacksmith apron?
-RP example. What kind of mutant is it? It could use more fleshing out. Add some adjectives and actions. It could also use some expansion.
-Backstory. He was born in a library? Librarys are looted and mainly destroyed due to this being so long after the Great War. Where was he born, near what city? How would he know so much from a looted library? How would he know about Vaccines and cures? What was this first job/where? There aren't scientists everywhere, they also are not easy to find. What was he lifting heavy pipes for? How did he hear about San Fransico? I would like you to expand on the backstory, as it seems to fall a bit short.
Until these are fixed you are...
NOTE: The server is not out yet, this is for applications before release.
Important note: The AI can not attack or defend or bring Asher back to life or anything like that.
Side notes: Where did he get the Pip-Boy shell, and what was his mother's name?
Mind reposting your app? Sorry this forum can get messy >.>
I'm your worst daymare.
Stromby, with all due respect, you are mistaken on this one.
Don't mean to be rude, but you're missing a few key things.
- Personality: The very essence of your character is to be described here, and it's blank. Problematic.
- RP Example: This example is little more than jumbled dialogue, while it shows you can talk with the technicalities expected of a protectron, it does little else to show me you could tackle one on one RP, or even combat RP for that matter. It's a cool little tid-bit you've added, but I suggest writing something different to give you a wider range to work with.
- Background: A number of things here make this a bumpy road. For one, the father who loved his son more than anything left him completely alone at the age of 8 to go on military tours and serve on duty? There is no way an 8 year old could provide for themselves for an extended period of time as you suggest here. Also, regarding DI-74, I am afraid this is not going to work, and if it does, it won't be as you described. Fully functional Artificial Intelligences were not deployed into combat bots at the time of the war, the government was focused on other things, and AI's in the game are actually very rare. To simply have an NCR soldier pick one up with no description seems nigh near impossible, and with all the work you'd have to go through to explain why it was there, how it was there, what it was even doing, what it's purpose was, yada yada yada, I believe it would be easier to just drop it. You can make a unique character without diving into left field. Also, you say his father was killed by Legion? That's quite the distance from the NCR Shady Sands to anyplace where the Legion would even be, you know.
This app has a few problems here, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Little hard work and you'll be in in no time, until then,

yeah no problem
I'm your worst daymare.
Bada bada bada! Hey hey hey, its selbor!
ego sum whitelister.
Anyways, let's review your application!
- Meta-gaming definition is a bit shaky. Could you define it further or create an example for me? Look at accepted applications for the correct definition of Meta-gaming.
- Power-gaming is wrong. Check/look at accepted applications for further information on what the real definition of Power-gaming is.
In your RP example, I find it weird that Dimitri was violent yet never had any encounters with bandits or fiends before. Fix that please? Other then that, add quotation marks, and I'm pretty sure this "Jake" wouldn't just take a slap to the face. Make the actions more interesting.
Appearance and personality can be buffed up! Especially personality. Is he cautious? Brave? Fool-hearty? Or just plain ignorant? Add on!
Background: - How did he know they died? His parents didn't have a Courier waiting to deliver news of their death, didn't they?
-How did he know San Fran existed? Caravan gossip? Please add detail!
- A last name as well, too.
You're wobbling on the path to being accepted, but you'll get there soon if you fix the errors and inconsistencies.
Thank you for looking this over but for now: Denied.

For one, I do have a personality. I see how it can be misleading because it's on the next line because there is two, one for Asher and one for the AI.
As for the RP example , I wouldn't say the dialogue is jumbled, because it does follow a logical chain of events.It says no where that I have to include actions such as fighting, just dialogue, which has been included. While it is a bit of a glorified monologue, I see no where that says that that is not acceptable.
As of the background, besides the fact that I never stated anywhere that the father loved his son more than anything in the world (you might have misread the sentence saying Asher loved his father more than anything in the world and construed it as that). And if he did, he would probably try to provide for his son however possible, and if that means going off and fighting in the NCR military, then so be it. There are also several instances of orphans and young children surviving alone in fallout (such as Little Lamplight). Also, it would not be inconceivable for an NCR soldier from Shady Sands to go fight in the Mojave Wasteland, where the NCR - Legion war took place. On a bit of a side note, that war started in 2277, which would have made Asher 12, and his father died in combat when he was 13, and the server starts in 2279, when Asher would have been 14 so the timing is perfect too.
When I was writing about the AI, I was not aware that I had to do a backstory for it as well as write about how his father found it. I thought it was good enough to say "his father found it" since it's really just a way for my character to talk to himself. Also, no where does it say that it was an AI from a government robot, or pre-war. In fact, I would find it quite odd if it were to be manufactured by the government, considering it wanted to kill all the meatbags. It's possible that it was put together post-war by someone such as Mr. House, which would also explain it;s location. If you have any other unanswered questions, tell me and I'll see if I can answer them
Ah, I do see now that you had indeed thrown a personality in there, forgive me for missing that.
Regarding your RP example, where you see "no where that says this is unacceptable", that's not entirely true, as I have just told you as such that it is not acceptable enough to get you approved. In order for a whitelister to accept this app you will have to include actions, they do not have to be combat but they must show me you can perform in RP past simple dialogue. Please expand this, as asked.
As for the background, yes, it seems I put a word out of place but either way is it not safe to assume that a father would love his son more than anything? Beyond that, you've given me a lot of possibilities here, but that's all it has come down to, possibilities. The odds of a child surviving in a city with no family relations of any kind, and to top it off being as reclusive as he is, don't seem too high, and this is only because of how you've built the character, mind you. You're gonna have to explain just how he survived during this period for me to give it serious consideration.
I will say it up front that I am against this AI, it really does not make much sense due to lore, and with how you describe it it only sounds like a glorified imaginary friend. I don't think you understand the requirements and power that just having an AI would give your character. I'm going to take a hard decision here and prohibit the use of this AI in the character, I'm very sorry. Too many things work against it for me to allow it.

IC:
Name: Irish
Nickname: None
Age:34
Gender: Male
Appearance:Brown hair, blue eyes, an old and faded red plaid button up over a thick kevlar vest, with a white tee underneath. He wears worn blue jeans, a brown leather belt, and his favorite pair of brown work boots he found in an old shoe shop way out on the east coast. He is muscular from his exercise routines that he tries his best to keep up with.
Personality: Irish is a good ally, and a nice person to have living in your neighborhood as he is helpful to his friends. To his enemies, he is ruthless and unforgiving, usually never never saying no to a chance to get revenge. He is not one to start a fight, but will not back down if one is presented.
In-game RP example:
-Irish is walking down a road, when he spots a man trying to fix his motorbike-
Irish: Hey guy, you need some help?
Man: Yeah, if you'd oblige.
-Irish walks closer to the man, only for him to pull a knife-
Man: If you're smart, you'll step away and put all your valubles on the ground.
-Irish steps away, quickly coming up with a plan to counter the knife somehow. He remembers that he has a 9mm that is loaded and in his rucksack-
Irish: All right, I will.
Man: Don't try anything funny, or I will stab you!
-Irish maintains eye contact with the man as he takes off his rucksack and holds it in his hands. He quickly takes out the 9mm and points it at the man. He goes to pop off a shot, but the guy ducks behind the motorbike-
Irish: Looks like the tables have turned, you *******. Stop hiding and accept your death!
-The man is enraged by this, and in a blind attempt, jumps out from behind the motorbike and runs at Irish, knife in hand.-
-Irish doesn't waste the chance, and fires three rounds into the man. Two of them hit his left lung, which Irish knows is fatal. The man drops to the ground, bleeding. Irish steps over and fires one last shot into the mans head, then puts his gun back in his pack, and walks away like nothing happened.
He eventually left, hopping on one of the last working trains going west. He lived in New Vegas for a while, working out of Freeside as a merc again. While there, he met some blokes who eventually became his friends. Irish stayed in Freeside for six years, until one of his friends was killed by a drifter over a gambling bet. He left Freeside and the rest of his friends, who split apart after the incident. He traveled west, stopping in places along the way to California. Four years have past since the incident, and Irish hopes to make a new life here on the west coast. He powers up his Vault Boy 3000 getting a feel for the new area around him.
Mr.House never put any robots together post-war. All his securitrons and technology were stockpiled by his human body before the bombs fell, and then locked away in the Lucky 38 and the bunker under the Legion camp. He no longer has the facilities to construct such delicate electronics.
It's important to keep in mind the severity of adding an AI with personality to the world, as it will result in huge technology leaps. Having an intelligent computer to assist you allows you to do so much more than you could without; the Shi are partially based around that concept. And this is assuming the AI is contained with no chance of moving to a body and becoming able to engage in combat, or "infect" enemy computers. With that, the AI becomes a super-weapon. All that aside, such advanced AI's would be unfathomably rare and delicate, due to their early stage of development. On the off-chance you did find one, any attempt to jury-rig peripherals would likely destroy it, as you would lack any relevant education as well as the miniature manufacturing ability. Heck, just putting a finger near a circuit could kill it, since you'd be charged with static due to your (inavoidable) failure to wear a grounding cuff.
But that's a good thing, since if you are bringing one into the server, please don't, under ANY circumstance, give it a body or attempt to develop it into anything more than a foil for your human character. And if your human character dies, take the AI with you.
'ello friend, I've read over your app and I like most of it, but I've got one thing to touch on.
- Background: You skipped over the childhood of Irish, that's some important stuff that I'd like to know as it will shape your character too. Even if it's boring, can you please add it? Also, you mentioned that he was born in NYC, but that he took a train to New Vegas. Now from what I saw in your RP example, you seem to have forgotten that in Fallout, we do not have motorbikes, cars, planes, or trains. There are very few exceptions to this, and they are usually extremely guarded and protected by those who hold power over them. But there is no working continental railroad for your character to hop on to make the move, I suggest having him born in the area.
Looking good, and once you change this up you'll get in much quicker, but for now,

Name: Tong Li Ma
Nickname: (Optional) Lee
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Lee has shoulder length jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He is asian with a pale complection. He wears a multi shaded red trenchcoat with 3/4 long sleeves with brass buttons on the lapels. Under the jacket, he wears a black shirt with threee stripes, centered with gold color. He wears black leather gloves and a grey belt with a silver colored buckle. His pants are puffy made of black with red fabric cloth on the shins. His shoes are black with grey shaded accents.
Personality: Lee has a firery, tranditional attitude. He believes greatly in honor and is secularist, but has respect for all he meets until he has a reason not to. He makes up for his rash desicion making with humility and willpower. He tends to be quite extroverted when others are around and is a slight people pleaser but is not afraid to call someone out when he believes they deserve it. He believes that self improvement is the only worthy use of time, whether it be physically, mentally, or socially. In that regard, he holds entertainment to be quite useless although he doesn't outright think negatively of it.
In-game RP example: (Include dialog)
*The backdrop is a crowded tavern late at night. Several of the patrons are angry and far from sane.*
Drunk 1: Hey you! You made me spill my drink!
Drunk 2: Not my fault your feet are like frozen skeevers!
*Drunk 1 proceeds to push 2 up a wall*
*Drunk 2 slumps down and falls to the side to get out of the hold*
Drunk 3: BARFIGHT!
*3 attempts to break his bottle over 4's head*
*4 dodges it and slams a fist into 3's jaw, knocking him into 5*
*5 turns and slugs 4*
*1 and 2 are having a good old fashioned fist fight as several more patrons are being thrown, punched, slammed with chairs and bottles*
*suddenly a guard slams open the door and everyone freezes*
Guard: Hmph.
*he saunters over to the bar and orders a drink*
*the fight commences*
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Lee, also known as, Tong Li Ma, was born to father, Tong You Peng, and mother, Tong Xiao Mei, in 2264. Tong You Peng was Shi Guard who was exiled after being called a hubologist sympathizer after refusing to kill a child of the rival faction when Lee was six years old. Tong Xiao Mei was a botanical and agricultural researcher who specialized in farming efficiency. Lee was a very virtuous child. Even at a young age he displayed respect, loyalty, and humility.
At the age of ten, the still young Tong Li Ma showed an affinity for martial arts and was determined to become a guard like his father. He tried to learn fighting skills anyway he could, through holodisks, observing guard training, and joining small gangs of like minded peers. In one gang, when he was 14 years of age, he developed a strong friendship with another boy the same age as him, Chi Zao Fan. They became intense sparring partners and people from all around the community would watch them fight, bets were placed, and they became a source of entertainment while honing their skills. Although he did not like attending events for pure entertainment, he believed entertaining people would be a self improvement of social and physical prowess.
Now 15, Lee wishes to join the guard and bring great honor to his family's name. He hopes that one day he will amass enough honor to bring his father back from exile. His secondary goal is to vanquish the dishonorable or find a way to turn them around.

Time you can dedicate: Depends. At most 4 hours a day.
Why us?: I want to join because I love fallout RP servers and you guys are a fallout rp server. One of the few that are still being made/out there.
Define Role-Playing in your words: Role-playing is acting as someone else but with realistic emotions, feelings, and so on. Same with fighting, running, fleeing, speaking, and so on.
Define Meta-gaming in your words: Meta-gaming is using things that your character wouldn't know ingame from IRL. Things like this are usually done over PMS or said over TS3 or whatever. They don't know that an army is going to attack ingame but outside of the game they do and they use that knowledge to build defenses.
Define Power-gaming in your words: Power-Gaming is doing unrealistic things like jumping off a 90 foot cliff and surviving on hard concrete and giving your opponent/other player little or no chance to respond. This means no attempts just "Slits his throat" instead of "attempts to slit his throat with a sharp knife".
Did you join our website? Yes!
IC:
Name: Arden Anax
Nickname: N/A
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Brown hair, light brown beard, light colored skin, blue irises, 5feet 11 inches, 175 pounds, tattered blue t-shirt, worn leather blacksmith tunic over the front now colored grey from age.
Personality: He is a grumpy fellow who can get fairly nasty towards strangers. When he is with those he knows, he is less mean but can still be grumpy. He is a scientist but also one who would lift pipes and put them into place as he isn't a skinny nerd which is why he wears a leather tunic over his front like a blacksmith would. He hasn't seen any animals so he assumes they are disgusting creatures (until he meets one).
In-game RP example: (Include dialog)
Arden walks into Chamber 109B with his white labcoat on and the checkboard in his hand. Loud noises signal his enter and scientists all around look towards him before back at their work. As Arden walks up to the glass behind the machines, he can see a Mutant through it sitting on a lone chair. His body so deformed and nasty that even though he has seen it plenty of times, he flinces. Turning to the scientist next to him, he asks questions.
Arden: How is it?
Scientist: No change. The vaccine has had no major effects on it. You could say it is less... agressive, sir?
Arden raises his brow and leans forward, tapping on the glass. Nearly immediately the Mutant's head jerks up and with a snarl, charges at the glass. This causes all of the scientists to jump back but the hardened glass holds. With a snarl, Arden glares at the scientist before storming out, leaving his checkboard on the floor.
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
Born in 2252, Arden Anax was raised in a family who owned a library. Being this fortunate, he had access to many books when he grew up. However, during his younger age he would often have trouble getting along with other kids due to his fortunate birth and learning. This very easily gained him a nasty attitude towards others. His parents even got a taste of some of his grumpy attitude in which he was scolded for, but continued to do.
Upon the age of 18, in 2270, he was well educated and had a vast knowledge from studying for so many years. When he left the house, his first thoughts were to become a scientist and research vaccines, cures, and so on. Unfortunately, his first job didn't turn out that way as when he ran out of money, he had to become a maintanence worker. During this, he had to lift heavy pipes with others and fit it into place but very soon, he got enough money to leave and continue his journey towards knowledge, science, and research!

Server ip plz?
Hello I am Gdp203 and I am reviewing your app.
First things first lets crack down on things or problems you might need to fix.
-Unusual way to put it for PG, but I guess I can let it pass. It does mean giving the player no chance to retaliate but I will expect that to be added.
-Speech craft and batering wouldn't belong in appearance unless he is extremely good looking or something, that would fall in personality, please fix. Saying he has a love for energy weapons also seems out of place, fix aswell.
-Personality could use more work and meat aswell.
-RP example could be more fleshed, don't be afraid to use adjectives my dear boy.
-Backstory could use more detail. What was his early life like? How did he get good with trading? Is he a lobster?! (that was my pathetic attempt at being funny, feel free to NOT laugh,) stuff like that does matter. Also try to describe his associates, doesn't have to revolve around you. You can also describe how he got those skills, or describe the training if you will. Stuff like that matters.
Until fixes are made you are
I'm your worst daymare.
Ello, PhD here to review your application.
-Appearance. I would prefer you go into a little bit more detail about him. What is he wearing? Is he strong? Tall?
-Personality. I would like this to have a bit more detail. Is he trustworthy? Does he enjoy company?
-Backstory. He must've been pretty young when they left him, how did he survive, considering he doesn't know how to hunt, stealing is difficult and scavenging is dangerous. Why wouldn't the raiders just kill him? Wouldn't a knife laying on the ground stand out, even too the raiders? How could someone who has little to no previous experience with a weapon, kill two hardened raiders?
You are super close to acceptance. Without a doubt you can get in next attempt.
Sadly, until you fix those errors, I will have to say you are...
Hey, PhD here
-Appearance. How does he have a blacksmith apron?
-RP example. What kind of mutant is it? It could use more fleshing out. Add some adjectives and actions. It could also use some expansion.
-Backstory. He was born in a library? Librarys are looted and mainly destroyed due to this being so long after the Great War. Where was he born, near what city? How would he know so much from a looted library? How would he know about Vaccines and cures? What was this first job/where? There aren't scientists everywhere, they also are not easy to find. What was he lifting heavy pipes for? How did he hear about San Fransico? I would like you to expand on the backstory, as it seems to fall a bit short.
Until these are fixed you are...
