If you were suddenly thrown into the world of Fallout

What would your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. be? What skills would you have tagged? Not what you would want, but what best describes you.
Any other info you can add, like what faction you would side with...

For example, I have

Str. 5
Per. 8
End. 8
Cha. 4
Int. 6
Agi. 4
Luck. 2

My tags would be.
Repair, because I'm great at fixing things.
Barter, because I've always been able to find the best deals when buying or selling
Unarmed, I've boxed for a long time now

S 5 - Avarage, not strong but not weak.
P 8 - Everyone is shocked at how good my eyesight is so I guess that either I have very good eyes or everybody else's around me svcks.
E 3 - Been smoking for 4 years up until a week ago.
C 4 - My philosophy towards being social: "If I have something to say to you then I'll say it, if there isn't anything of importance for the two of us to speak of then shut the [censored] up."
I 6 - Fairly intelligent, I think...
A 3 - I'm lazy.
L 3 - I'm the very definition of a loser, everyday I got a /FML.

Unarmed (I guess I could throw a punch or two before getting the [censored] knocked out.)
Cooking (Not Survival)
Literate (Gotta count for something in the wastes right?)

S 4 - I'm of average build, but I'm not super sporty
P 4 - I notice more things than average, but I have vision issues
E 10 - I have survived things (including electrocution, drowning, and cancer) that would have literally killed most other people. Also, I can hike practically indefiintely.
C 3 - Average looking, but can be pretty anti-social
I 8 - I finished a M.A. in record time for my department, and I was only working on it "part time". Still, I can make some pretty dumb decisions sometimes.
A 6 - I have pretty good reflexes, and am a decent shot considering how poor my vision is.
L 9 - I have been damn lucky in this life. Even during rough patches, things tend to work out for the best.

Tag
Guns - I've had a fair amount of practice at the range
Speech - I used to work as a professor, and have had a lot of people-oriented jobs. It's mostly why I'm so anti-social. :biggrin:
Barter - I also have a decent background in sales

I'd probably get eaten by something big and nasty long before I established SPECIAL..
Cant really see surviving in that sort of environment. It looks brilliant, and I'd love to try. But I'm guessing IRL running around the desert with little water and an excessive amount of gear, ammo and weapons, would be perhaps more taxing that it appears in a game.

I'd go to Novac, move in next door to No Bark, smoke pot, and listen to his stories while we played cribbage.

edit:
Put some thought into special and skills, here goes.

S: 5 I am totally average
P: 8 Good vision, I notice things others don't
E: 6 Have run a marathon well... walked a quarter mile, high pain tolerance
C: 5 I'm average i guess.
I: 7 if we're to believe standardized IQ testing
A: 4 I'm no gymnast
L: 3 fortune favors the bold, I'm a background type

Tags:
Speech: I put a lot of thought into what i say and anolyze what others say or don't say
Survival: spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer and winter. know how to trap and forage
Repair: I took apart my moms iron when i was three to see where the steam came from. Ah, humble beginnings

Given all this, I'd still be hanging with No Bark.

I'm SPECIAL!

Nice, I've never thought about this.

S-8 I'm a pretty big guy. Legate Lanius eat your face off.
P-2 Assuming I don't have contact lenses or glasses in a wasteland. I usually wear contacts.
E-5 I don't really work out that much.
C-8 I guess I can be a charming guy. Have a way with words if I put my mind to it.
I- 9 Spent my days stinking up my room skipping school while still passing all tests.
A-2 Don't make me laugh.
L-8 I'm blessed with good health, a nice family and no war in my streets.


Tag skills:

Unarmed - Want some? WANT SOME?!
Speech - Bla bla bla.
Sneak - You won't know I was there untill you realize your liquor's gone.

So SPECIAL based on the real-life you? Hm.

STR - 3 (a punch from me would only make most laugh and I couldn't lift some of those big guns at all)
PER - 6 (observant w/good peripheral vision, hearing, & smell, but need glasses/contacts)
END - 4 (long distance endurance svcks, but pain endurance is high)
CHA - 3 (I'm boring)
INT - 8 (I'm lazy however, so it doesn't necessarily equate to tons of actual knowledge)
AGI - 8 (dancing, flexible, quick)
LUC - 5 (average)

Good Natured, Sneak, Repair, Survival.

I don't think I'd survive very long in such a world, not without surrounding myself with a lot of big, beefy goons and lots of weaponry. I might be able to survive solo in a harsh environment for a while via danger avoidance, but overall I'd be pretty easy prey. :sadvaultboy:

Strength 3 (Strength isn't my best suit)
Perception 6 (I can see things that other people can't but I'm not incredibly gifted either)
Endurance 3 ( I can last a while but I'm not really in shape to go long term)
Charisma 5 (I wouldn't have a problem convincing people but I am reserved when I 1st enter an unknown area or deal with people I don't know)
Intelligence 8 (I'm not einstein but I'm not an average joe either in the Brains part)
Agility 6 ( I can run pretty fast but I'm no Usain Bolt)
Luck 9 ( I have incredible luck, I'm not going to win the lottery but weird things do happen that get me out of trouble)

Traits
Good Natured (Combat isn't my 1st option)

Sweet. I'm going to be like the weakest person here.

Strength - 2 (I would probably be carrying only a few things over there.)
Perception - 10 (I notice things / suggest things people would never think about.)
Endurance - 3 (I would probably need to take a break more often than most.)
Charisma - 3 (Just another bystander. 'sides, I often don't look for attention.)
Intelligence - 7 (Like LadyCrimson, lazy despite the rating. My intelligence comes being able to learn quickly.)
Agility - 7 (Apparently, dodging flying objects is my specialty.)
Luck - 8 (Though, dodging flying objects comes from being lucky sometimes. That and just being really lucky overall.)

Traits: Good Natured and Wild Wasteland. Wild Wasteland just keeps up with my personality of liking weird things.
Tagged Skills: Sneak, Lockpick, and Science. Otherwise known as the "sulking" skills.

Changed my INT to 6 again.

And yeah uhm, 10 is Einstein in INT.
10 in AGI means you are like a kickass gymnast or parkour.
10 in STR means you're like a bigass bodybuilder.

So I think people are exaggerating their scores as well.

Well, I'm going by the 40 points you get at the start of the game.

That doesn't mean I'm pumping stats up either as the stats I posted are decently accurate in relation to each other for me.

Yeah, same here. And even at that I only used 37 points.
I'm also going by the games concepts...that is, where 5 may be "average" but you need 6 or 7 to pass almost any check...even tho some of those checks shouldn't require "high" stats, imo. Some of the INT checks aren't very intelligent, if you get my meaning. :yawn:

S-1 I'm so old I can barely get up my bottle of Guinness up to my mouth. The day I can't, it's over.
P-1 I'm so old I can't hear [censored], I can't see [censored] and even if I could, I wouldn't care.
E-1 I'm so old that a lifetime of hard living is catching up with me. I did mention I smoke about 4 cigars a day, right?
C-1 I'm so old that the girls at the coffee shop I go to every morning call me "Mr. Grumpy".
I-1 I'm so old that I've forgetten everything.
A-1 I'm so old that my hip hurts when it's gonna rain. My shoulders click when I move 'em and when I sit on the ground, it takes a forklift to get me back up.
L-10 I'm so old I must be lucky to have outlived all those other [censored]s.

Repair- That's what I do. I fix crap. You name it, I can fix it. Well, except my marraige. OK. You name it, and if I give a crap, I'll fix it.
Guns- I recently won the Annual Southeast Michigan Shootapalooza over that Army doggie brother of mine.
Explosives- I was an 0341 in the Marines. 'Nuff said.

-Gunny out.
