RIFTOCITY (rift/ah/city)
The name's Riftocity, but some call me Ronin or just simply Rift.

Backstory
It's been a good many years, have plenty experience out in the wastes. Been everywhere from The Frontier, to the Boneyard, as well as the Mojave Wasteland and New Reno, and even spent a small amount of time in the Capital Wasteland. I'm born and raised under the NCR (New California Republic) in California, from a small scrap-heap of a town called Sac-Town that was named Sacramento before The Great War. I used to be a Ranger of the NCR, was there at the Battle of Hoover Dam, and I got to say, it was one Hell of a hot year... It almost made you wish for a nuclear winter...

I was the best damn thing the Legion never saw. One Hell-of-a-shot when it came to distance, that's how I prefer it... out of sight, in the dark, and unsuspected. Made everything quick, clean, and easy that did. I was the eyes for the NCR back in the day, started out as 1st Recon just prior to being a Ranger, but Hell, I'm just bragging now. Not only was I the eyes on the outside, no, when the time was right I was given covert ops. missions, so, Yes; if things need to be up-close and personal, you can count on me to be right around the corner with a suppressed 9mm I call Leilani, and a serrated combat knife.

Life with the NCR wasn't the best though... it wasn't right, not for me anyway. I enjoyed killing too damn much, always made a bloody mess, so I left, went on my own and headed East. And no, I didn't "resign",... not officially anyway, no, I abandoned the NCR, I couldn't take the literal heat anymore. Heard a rumor of a second battle happening once I left, so glad I got out when I did.

I've been many things out here once I left, found a small group of slavers out in Texas. They weren't too bad, well... aside from slaving people, they were a group of survivors, one who treated each other like family. Then I stopped in the Capital Wasteland, and found a group of mercenaries known as Talon Company. They were glad to take in a shot like me, said I was a rare sight and that they could use the military training I had, in exchange for gear, protection and a place to stay. I didn't stay long, their leader wasn't too sharp, he was clouded by greed. I also passed through a place people in the area call The Pitt. A pit of absolute shit is what it was, rads were off the charts. I had too cut through the city in order to get where I was going, which was too damn bad, the place was absolutely INFESTED with these...things. The raiders and slaves there called them Trogs. Upon approaching the main part of the city that was habitable, I was greeted by a group of Pitt Raiders from all directions. They put a collar around my neck, took my gear Talon Co. had supplied me with, and put me to work... ironic, the SLAVER becomes the SLAVE. Wasn't too long before an opportunity arose to earn my freedom, something the people call "The Hole", some sort of makeshift arena made for the raiders entertainment, come to find out that every raider in that place are winners of the hole from their own time as slaves. Afterwards, I got to meet the man in charge, a man named Ashur. He helped me clear a route through the Trog infested city, and allowed me to go on my way towards my destination... A couple of his men accompany me now, told me they were interested in a life outside The Pitt. and I can't blame them.

Now here I am, just outside the Empire Wasteland, Ground Zero of The Great War. The place is worse than the Boneyard before the NCR restored it, and I can only image what it looked like before the war. The Geiger-counter on my Pip-Pad that I found back in Virginia from this building owned by West-Tek is in the red, no surprise there. There's a giant crater in the middle of the ruined city, and it's much bigger than just a simple nuke crater, something larger had exploded along with the nuke... hopefully I'll find out while I'm out here from digging through old terminals. For now, I'm going to settle in with my new companions, and form a new company under the name of Snakebyte. As of now I'm unsure if we'll be slavers, mercenaries or just simple raiders, but one thing IS for certain. We're going to survive.

I'm going to write anything I find important out here into this journal, and I'll make sure to include images of my finding along the way. --Riftocity (talk) 04:08, November 3, 2019 (UTC)

Introduction
Hello fellow community members of the FALLOUT FANDOM, and welcome to my page. I hope you enjoyed that "short" background story I had wrote. Yes, there was a reason to why I did it. The reason was to tell you a little bit about myself in a rather... clever(?) way, to immerse you into the FOU or Fallout Universe while giving you legitimate information you may want to know (without giving away too much pr being too personal). Sorry, I tend to go over the top with things like this. If you're curious and even read this far, I'll do a quick decoding of what I wrote above.

So, I'll start the decoding process from top to bottom, starting with name. The name is Darren, don't worry it's only a nickname, not a legal name. My screen name for almost everything I use is Riftocity, so might as well use it as an alias. I'm from California, the Sacramento area, and I've been too only a few places outside the state, those places being Seattle WA, Ashland OR, Reno NV, Dallas TX, Mananas VA, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh PA,  and currently reside in New York City, NY. The NCR are my favourite faction from FO, FO2, and FONV. My combat style is Ranged/Silent, and the 9mm is named after my baby sister Leilani. Bloody Mess is a perk/trait I take in every Fallout that has it available. Aside from the NCR, my characteristics tend to resemble one of a Mercenary, Slaver or Raider. I own all the DLCs from FO3 and up, as well as all the available GOTY Editions. I'm deep into lore, and am incredibly immersed into the universe. I not only use, but support mods that extend the FOU, add cut content, restore old content, and are entirely lore-friendly. I'm the owner of a company under the name of Snakebyte Production & Company. Lastly, I've created my own system for a Tabletop Fallout RPG Game, as well as write short-stories, full-length stories, screenplays for Fallout and plan to make my own artwork for it.
