Terms of Use
Edit as much as you like, but don't remove any credits present. They are the small © symbols. Leave them alone. You may change the color to match your custom palette for your carrd but do not make them invisible or hard to see.
Don't claim as your own work OR use this template as a base for a different template OR use it for any commissions, paid or not. If you use this template, I don't care how much you edit it, go wild, but the credit has to stay intact and you cannot claim it as your own.
Do not use to promote illegal, harmful, or hateful content. No burn books, no hate blogs, no callout blogs, nothing of the sort.
Image Sizing
The banner on the front page is most suited for images at a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio depending on personal preference. It should be at least 1000px wide for best results. (The one that comes with the template is 2000px wide.)
The tall image in the bio section is at a 9:16 ratio. It will also resize based on width. If you make the bio longer, you may want a taller image, or to add another column to the container so it does not outgrow the image too much and make the spacing look weird. The image here will work best with the current spacing if it is at least 450px wide or greater.
If you need help with image sizing, or re-sizing anything / fixing spacing, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message on my blog and I'll try to help when I can.
How to Add More NPCs
The NPCs on the connections page are divided into rows of three. There is a new container for every row to prevent uneven spacing. To add more, you need to duplicate the container as a new one instead of adding to the same one, keeping only to a row of three per container.
Make a copy of the image and description sections and move them into place. There should only be two things to copy per new NPC.
If a row has an empty space with no NPC, click on the container, select the column that is empty (left, middle, or right) and check the box that says "use as spacer". If you have two NPCs in a row instead of three and want them to center, delete the empty column and the other two will adjust automatically. If you need to re-add the column later when adding another NPC, just click "add column" and the sizes should also automatically adjust in that case as well.

[ Blogroll — Content Warnings ]
001 this shouldn’t have to be stated, but: do not follow if you are under the age of 18, if you ship incest/rape/adults with minors, if you post racism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry in any form.before you follow, please keep the following in mind:
i have multiple disabilities & am a highly introverted person. this blog is low activity & i am highly selective about interactions. if you expect constant ooc chatter or interactions & fast replies, this is NOT the blog for you. if you softblock for inactivity or lack of ooc interaction, i am simply going to hardblock you because it tells me that you did NOT pay attention to reading my carrd. i have no interest in following you back or interacting with you if you can't extend courtesy towards me for being a slow/introverted writer.i also ask that you do not try to constantly message me ooc, because it stresses me out. messaging now and then is fine, but not every single time i'm online. give me some space, please.wolf is jewish, although i am not. i try not to talk too much about his culture for that reason, but if i ever write/portray something that is offensive in regards to his ethnicity, please correct me.most of the content on this blog focuses on themes of post-apocalypse, war, dystopia, moral conflict, and trauma. shipping and fluff are NOT the focus of this blog whatsoever. wolf also does not fit into any other genres besides sci-fi, noir, crime, etc.if you are looking for anything else besides these themes/genres you WILL be disappointed. follow at your own discretion.fandoms i have no interest in interacting with include, but are not limited to:
the mcu**, the boys, hazbin hotel, helluva boss, stranger things, attack on titan, etc.
banned faceclaims include, but are not limited to: elizabeth olsen, johnny depp, benedict cumberbatch, gal gadot, etc.**i may make exceptions for certain blogs like the netflix/disney shows & blogs that are canon divergent, but this is still rare.i tend to hardblock to prevent people from accidentally following after softblocking. i also block pretty often for my own comfort, not necessarily b/c a rule has been broken, but just b/c i've lost interest in writing together. i won't always give a reason for blocking, especially if we aren't close as writers. if this is something that concerns you, i wouldn't recommend following.with all that out of the way, time to get into my actual rules. 002 i am pretty picky about following back. i prefer high literacy and a more serious atmosphere. if you post too much ooc, and not enough rp related content i will block/not follow back. i will also unfollow/block if you post a lot of nsfw, especially untagged.i refuse to follow anyone who has an inaccessible/hard to read blog. i have dyslexia and i wear glasses. if you use very low contrast, super tiny container themes, then please, at the very least, have a carrd or pages that are visibly accessible. i will not follow you if i can't even read the info about your muse or your blog.it’s very unlikely that i’ll follow back if you require mutuals to fill out an interest tracker. i do not like being required to commit to anything before i know you or your muse. i take a very, very long time to warm up to people.p.s. if you ever feel like a thread isn’t going the way you wanted, you lost muse, i wrote something inaccurate, etc. do NOT hesitate to reach out to me. i love writing, and i do NOT mind re-writing a whole starter, or re-doing an entire thread. i am not only here to make myself happy, i am also here to make sure my writing partners are happy! i will not be offended whatsoever if you didn’t like something that i wrote.btw, none of this is personal. if i don’t follow back, if i unfollow, if i reply slow, if i don’t send you asks, etc. do not think that i dislike you as a person. there’s MANY reasons why i do/don’t do something. it is never about you or your muse.
003 i am not very good at coming up with ideas from scratch, especially with muses i am not familiar with. iff you approach me for plotting, 9 times out of 10 i will have nothing to offer you. it's better send me an ask meme or tell me what you're interested in writing & i will adjust to you accordingly. 004 currently, wolf is NOT open for shipping. i have had way too many bad experiences with people wanting to ship, so temporarily i will not be accepting any new ships. the only exception will be for muses i feel wolf has chemistry with, but i will be the one approaching you in that case.i generally do not practice exclusives when it comes to writing, because i like exploring the different interpretations people have. however, i may make exceptions in some cases.i do tend to practice mains/affiliates, in which i will prioritise certain writers over others, and tend to refer to their lore within my own character’s narrative.i am currently exclusive with @waruins, & therefore will not be writing with any other muses using adria arjona as a faceclaim. 005 personally, i do not have any triggers that need tagging (besides nsfw), but i do ask that you at least have warnings about what kind of content is present on your blog.
i can't tag for most of the themes associated with fallout because they are so heavily integrated into the setting, but i will still try my best to tag any triggers you have listed in your rules otherwise.as for nsfw themes i tend to tag them as nsft //. however, i do not post/write a lot of smut. i tend to be a little shy in that regard. although, i’m happy to write it if we are shipping partners! just be gentle with me since it’s not something i’m used to writing 🥲
in the case that smut does happen in a thread, it will not only be tagged, but also put under a readmore. typically, nsfw imagery isn't posted here, except for the occasional shirtless photo. 006 i don't care about reblog karma. feel free to reblog whatever you want from me, as long as you don't clog up my activity.
in terms of asks, feel free to send as many as you want, any time. i prefer asks over starters, & i don't post starter calls b/c i prefer ask memes. ask memes don't expire either, feel free to dig up an old one and send something in. 007 don’t feel obligated to have fancy graphics, icons, or formatting. i like to use these things, but it’s mostly for fun. my main concern is with the text/plot, everything else is secondary! i am perfectly fine with an icon-free and non-formatted thread. 008 icons are all done by me, old coloring is 'oh beans' by jaynedits. current coloring is you and i by melinoegraphics. screencaps are sourced from oliverjacksoncohen.net. gifs come from stannyramirez, josshelps, & lexiresources. edited by me.

MAINS
NPCS
luz alvarado — wolf's best friend. veteran ranger. each met in their youth, while stationed in oregon. during an arm wrestling match, she won, and the two hit it off afterwards, becoming close. after a while, they started dating, but eventually broke it off, as they made better friends than lovers. the two kept sparse contact after breaking it off, but later made amends, now holding a close relationship.
garrett sutherland — wolf's ex-boyfriend. former veteran ranger. similarly to luz, garrett met wolf on duty, while the two were stationed in oregon, years before the ncr-legion war. being teammates at the time, the two were always together, watching each other's backs. even after their work together was finished, and the two got pushed to different stations, they still kept in contact. and, at some point, their friendship blossomed into romance. the two stayed together for a long time, until garrett’s decision to separate. he then perished in the 1st battle of hoover dam.
timothy clarke — former best friend. former ranger. deceased. timothy was wolf's childhood friend, having grown up alongside him near the hub. they spent most of their free time playing together as children, and even enlisted in the ncr military together, once they both turned 16. sadly, timothy was killed in action when wolf was only 24.
wyatt stone — family friend. one of the original desert rangers. originally from texas, earning him the nickname 'star,' short for lone star. he eventually moved out west to arizona, and even served alongside wolf's mother, aliza, when the desert rangers used to protect the wasteland. after the ranger unification treaty, wyatt continued to serve as a ranger in the ncr military. during the first battle of hoover dam, he was wolf's squad leader. due to their shared ties, wolf views him as a family figure, akin to an uncle.
andy owens — close friend. fellow lieutenant & part of wolf's company, andy was born and raised in redding california to a miner family. they both met when andy filled in timothy's absence on his squad, and hit it off well due to their similar personalities & backgrounds. he was later transferred to another squad of his own, but they each still work together closely.

ABBOTT WOLFF
❝ i was raised feral ;
and mostly stayed that way. ❞
abbott wolff was born on april 4th, 2239, to daniel and aliza wolff, in the city of two-sun, arizona. they lived a tough life, thanks to the various raiding parties present within arizona. still, they managed to survive well enough. with daniel’s knowledge of medicine ( as a former vault dweller and follower of the apocalypse ) and aliza’s knowledge of survival ( being a desert ranger and arizona native ), they fared better than most people, living an honest, quiet existence. that all changed when the legion formed, 8 years later. while the legion was only heard of in whispers, claiming to be a benevolent force, daniel and aliza sensed something was wrong. the two didn’t hesitate to pack up their bags in favor of moving out west, to new california, taking abbott with them.it was there that the wolff family built a new life for themselves, purchasing a small plot of farm land near the hub. it wasn't easy starting over from scratch, but it was better than the harsh environment of arizona. for abbott, however, the farm life did not appeal. not wanting to be a farmer, while neither knowing what else he wanted to do in life, wolf enlisted into the ncr army at the age of 16.abbott became a combat medic, inspired by his own father's career as a doctor, with the followers. he didn't mind it much, in fact, he enjoyed helping people who were suffering. however, he knew that this, too, was not the life he wanted. after his first tour was over, abbott made the decision to try the unthinkable.he volunteered for the ncr rangers, reminiscing on childhood memories of his mother and her friends, when the desert rangers were in their glory. though the ncr rangers were of different origins, their goals were similarly aligned, and that was enough for him. he knew that joining the ncr rangers meant protecting people who couldn't protect themselves.
to nobody's surprise, abbott was accepted, thanks to his exceptional navigational skills and acts of bravery as a medic. he then passed through training with flying colors, thanks to the wealth of knowledge passed down to him by his parents.
abbott then became wolf, a ranger known for his vicious, unrelenting fury against slavery and oppression.wolf ended up sticking around longer than he ever thought he would, always having intended to quit the military after getting a degree. instead, wolf ended up working his way up the chain, eventually achieving the rank of ' lieutenant ', with a political science & history degree under his belt.he served multiple tours in the ncr-brotherhood war, and even went on to witness the merging of the desert rangers with the ncr ; a sad sight for him, having familial ties to the faction. 4 years later, wolf would go on to achieve veteran status, earning his black armor.it wasn't long after his promotion that the ncr decided to declare war on the legion, vying for control over the hoover dam. wolf's undying loyalty to the ncr had already began to falter long ago, but the fractures worsened after the first battle of hoover dam. it was there that wolf witnessed one of the bloodiest conflicts he'd ever seen, and even lost two of the people closest to him: garrett sutherland & wyatt stone.wolf's spirit was broken after that, but not enough to leave. after all, where would he go? the brotherhood was a joke, robert house never left his high tower, and he definitely was not going to get into bed with a bunch of slavers.despite his hatred for president kimball, he followed orders to go chase ghosts in baja, before returning to his previous post in nevada. it brought up a lot of bad memories, returning to camp forlorn hope. but he'd be damned if he would let the legion win without a fight.
