America Rising - A Tale of the Enclave (Fallout 4 Modification)
EloquentFalcon for General Russell Ward
NOTE: This is an existing character in the mod that I'm unfortunately having to recast. I felt like the performance the current voice actor did was absolutely spot-on, so if you could mimic it that'd be great. That said, if you feel you have a different voice or accent that would work well for the character, definitely audition anyway! Here's a clip of how General Ward currently sounds: https://youtu.be/ZHfwY1sKUMs
General Russel Ward was born before the Great Nuclear War. Having served in the US Army for 15 years, he was about to be transferred to the Gobi Military Campaign (the American invasion of China in retaliation to the Chinese invasion of Alaska) during the Resource Wars.
Due to his exceptional skill, he was shortlisted as one of a few key members to be cryogenically preserved in the secret government wing of Vault 111 in the event of a Nuclear War, who would then work to restore order with other members of the Enclave.
Him and the others were never “thawed” out due to the mysterious disappearance of all Vault-Tec personnel, and the player finally wakes them multiple decades late.
He is reserved and stern, refusing to share personal details with others but willing to give praise when he feels it is deserved. He is also not above intimidating others to get the work done, and is a firm believer that the Ends justify the Means.
He will have some (But not many) in-combat lines, so keep in mind that you will need to be able to shout!
[The player has just met General Ward and the group he is with. Player asks who they are.]
We're the remnants of America's government and military. Assuming others have followed protocol, there's more of us out there.[Mid-way through the story, The player has helped the General and his party arrive at a military base embedded in an Oil Rig. The base has been cleared, and the General has just put out a radio call for all remaining troops to regroup at the base. The General now reveals to the Player that his is part of a shadowy group of government remnants called the Enclave, who were antagonists in previous Fallout games.]
We are the Enclave. The last bastion of our beloved America. And from what I have seen here today, we have a lot of work to do. It is our duty to undo the damage caused by the Great War, and I will ensure we succeed.[The player and the General are watching a demonstration in the base's Labs, when a soldier runs in with news that the base is being attacked by the Brotherhood of Steel.]
What!? Scramble a defense! Everyone - Topside, now!
