Well when I say start off in a faction I mean have it part of their backstory, I don't know anything about the commonwealth I don't even know if there is much info about it out there but I from what I've heard it sounds like you would have to have your character born into the commonwealth, no Idea though if that is true, I would also like to note that my character would be a commonwealth bounty hunter which might have more of a chance of being able to be born outside of the commonwealth but I've got no idea.
Well, in that case, it would depend on how well written your backstory is, keeping your character as part of the faction and not the center of it. If it's a good story, the lore that comes with your character is also accepted and implemented.
- If you have applied and been denied three times in the lapse of a day, you must wait 24 hours before re-applying. This is mainly to make players review their apps and do mayor changes. there is a minor typo within the rules. i just thought i might point it out.

Biography: James Arlington doesn't remember much of his past. only the fact that he was a information dealer and that he was rescued from a ruined building by a crazy scientist who replaced what he had lost,his eye and his hand, but he remembers very little besides that. he knows that his parents were killed by a group of ghouls who had gotten into their settlement, and that he ran away when he was twenty years old. so technically his life started when he woke to the crack of a gun. he had immediately noticed his keen sight in his left eye along with the awkward feeling of the robotic hand... along with the dead scientist next to him who had just taken his own life. on that man James had found a single note reading: who i am or what i did to you doesn't matter the only things that matter are that your name is James Arlington, i saved your life ,and you are my legacy. you will find clothes in the ocker against the wall along with money and food. i recommend that you head towards Manhattan... i hear it is a decent place. Sincerely: the scientist. and from there James began to walk using caravans and boats to slowly make his way across what is now known as the wastes of north america. and now Manhattan has been seen, the once bustling metropolis now rests upon the horizon. This is where James's story truly begins anew. sidenote: i can give a more in depth biography if absolutely needed.

Biography: James Arlington was born into a small town somewhere near Manhattan and grew up as an only child. His mother died while birthing him and his Father was assumed dead after going missing somewhere in the wastes when James was eight. Soon after the death of his father James became a drifter in the town, never staying one place more than a week and always found doing something illegal. at about the age of twelve James was approached by a man who had offered him a great sum of caps if he could get into the mayors private chambers and acquire information on a recent expansion on the town. James succeeded and soon became part of the information brokering business. two years later James was caught hacking the towns security terminal and was ejected from the community and told to never come back. James soon found a dead bandit along with some food, weapons, ammo, and an assassination contract for the son of the mayor. So in desperate need of caps, James slipped into the town that night and shot the mayors son in his sleep, nearly managed to get killed while escaping, then started to head north east into the wastes. at the age of twenty James Arlington had gained a strong reputation through the brokering of information and selling of goods, he had made shop in several places but always kept on the move due to a constant hunt for him by local officials. at the age of twenty six James was set up and trapped within a bandit base by a close informant of his. he got cornered and attacked, loosing hit right eye and arm before the intervention of several unknown people. He woke up six months later ,mind wiped of all but key moments and false memories implanted, to find that not only had he slept past his birthday but he also had a robotic hand and eye along with the fact that the man who had saved him had killed himself weeks earlier in the chair next to him. on that man James found a note telling him that he was the scientists last experiment, his legacy, and that clothes and a few other items could be found in a locker in the side room. the note also informed James of a possible information lead on who had set him up that could possible be found in Manhattan. James soon after left the facility and headed to the city on the far off horizon... Manhattan.
Yo, if you're wondering why there's no news it's because we are rebooting the server, starting from scratch. We are sticking to Manhattan, and trying to keep things as similar to the original idea of a Fallout theme, but it will no longer be fallout. In essence, we are making a new project, recycling what we can, and finding a way to make it so your characters and applications can be adapted easily. Cheers!
Well, in that case, it would depend on how well written your backstory is, keeping your character as part of the faction and not the center of it. If it's a good story, the lore that comes with your character is also accepted and implemented.
Probably both.
We're still making up our minds o_o

Rest in peace.
