Alright, guys, I'll be posting the thread in a few minutes, use this thread for any questions you have towards me or your party members, since this is something we're trying out for the first time we should get those questions solved as fast as we can
There will be posting order, Verz, Triam, Aedan, please follow it so everyone will have a chance to post in a turn.
Below I'll be posting map of the thread, I will probably be doing also smaller maps for encounters, and I'll be posting the complete ruleset if you need reference as well as your character's inventory for the thread and modifiers, both of these things can and will change as the thread goes on.

Ruleset
Character Background
To be used when skipping the introduction of the character into the setting.
Roll a 1d20 for the character, if the dice rolls 1-4 they have done terrible, 5-8 poor, 9-12 mediocre, 13-16 good, 17-20 awesome-sauce.
Characters with Terrible background receive no initial equipment, those with Poor roll a 1d2 for amount of equipment they receive, 1d6 determines quality of each equipment, Average roll a 1d4 for amount and 1d8 for quality, Good roll a 1d4 for amount and 1d10 for quality, Awesome-Sauce roll a 1d6 for amount and 1d10 for quality.

Combat
Reloading: Light Ranged Weapons are automatically reloaded, Medium, Heavy, and Superheavy weapons need to successfully roll a 1d20+modifier
Light Melee/Ranged will be d10 (three hits per turn max)
Medium will be d20 (2 hits per turn), heavy d50 (one hit per turn) and superheavy (Like rocket launchers, gauss guns, plasma cannons) d100 and splash damage of d20 in proximity if the weapon has that option, they fire only once per post and you need another post to reload.
Special weapons
Shotguns- 1d70 at close range, 3d20 at medium range, and 5d10 with ability to hit multiple targets on medium range, and hitting 5 different targets on long range. When reloading you need to roll a d6 to determine how many shells you loaded under pressure.
Miniguns 3 turns of 5d30 without reloading, reloading takes 2 turn and you must make a successful d20 roll each turn.
Sniper rifles have one shot per turn, they take a whole turn to reload, 1d50 and bonuses to accuracy rolls, reloading doesn't require a roll.
Revolvers and Heavy Handguns have 1d40 per turn, reloading a revolver you need to roll a 1d6 to determine how many bullets you loaded into the chamber under pressure, for Heavy Handguns reloading is a 1d10 and it determines whether the clip is inserted into the pistol or not.
Flamethrowers have 3d50, 3 turns without reloading, 2 turns to reload, they can be only used at close range, they deal 1d10 each turn for 3 turns at hit, and if you get shot in the fuel pack, you and anybody close to you get 20 damage and 1d10 for 3 turns. When reloading a flamethrower you need to roll a 1d20 on your second turn, failure to beat a roll ends with some of the fuel spilling, critical fuel ends with canister exploding and dealing 20 fire damage.
Taunting- During combat player on NPC can attempt to Taunt their opponent, trying to enrage them and make a mistake, open up their defenses through carelessness. To Taunt you roll a 1d20 + Taunt Modifier against your opponent's 1d20 + Resisting Taunt Modifier. Successful Taunt will mean the target's modifiers will not apply to their skills in combat for one turn.
Leadership- You can roll a d20 for each of your party members, trying to inspire them in combat. After each successful roll, roll a 1d4 to determine by how many points your allies benefit in their range of critical damage. For example, if you have two allies, besides you, in your party, you have to roll 2d20, if both of them succeed roll a d4 for each of them, the number they get increases the range for their critical rolls by that number, for example if one of them rolls a 2 and the other 4, one needs to roll between 18 and 20 to gain critical hit, and the other between 16 and 20, instead of the regular 20.
Tactics- Roll a d20 for your whole squad to determine if they receive any Cover bonus due to your use of tactics during combat. If your roll is successful roll a 1d4 to determine how big that bonus is. For example, if you succeed the roll of d20 and then roll a 3 on your 1d4 roll, you squad will get a +3 bonus to Dodge rolls thanks to your tactical decision.
Cover- Hiding behind cover can give you bonus to your Dodge, Block, or Parry rolls, there are three types of cover, light, medium and heavy. Light cover gives a +1 bonus, medium gives a +2 bonus, and heavy a +4 bonus, it stacks with Tactics bonus.
Light Melee/Ranged will be d10 (three hits per turn max)
Medium will be d20 (2 hits per turn), heavy d50 (one hit per turn) and superheavy (Like rocket launchers, gauss guns, plasma cannons) d100 and splash damage of d20 in proximity if the weapon has that option, they fire only once per post and you need another post to reload.

Armor
Light Armor- +5 Dodge Rolls, 5 damage reduction,
Medium Armor- +2 Dodge Rolls, 30 damage reduction,
Heavy armor- -5 Dodge Rolls, 50 damage reduction,
Powered Armor- -2 Dodge Rolls, 70 damage reduction
And the damage reduction would differ based on armor, so like Ceramic Military Vest would be +2 Dodge Rolls, 30 Projectile and Melee Damage Reduction, Flak Jacket +2 Dodge Rolls, 30 Explosive and Frag Damage Reduction, so the Ceramic Military Vest would be better against firearms and melee weapons when Flak Jacket would be better when dealing against explosives and fragmenting projectiles like larger grenades and rockets.
Armor deteriorates over time based on the damage rolls rolled against them, this can be fixed by a character by rolling 1d20 + Engineering - 1d20 to determine how much damage points were repaired.
Quality of the armor is based on percentile of efficiency the equipment is currently at,
1-10% Unusable, damage reduction modifiers from the armor do not apply, reductions to Dodge rolls still do.
11-50% Damaged, armor suffer decrease in the damage reduction value, power armor and cybernetics can shorten out and lock out when taking damage, determine by rolling a 1d20 - character's 1d20 + Engineering, if the outcome is negative the armor does not shorten out.
51-80% Undamaged, armor does not suffer any reductions to its damage reduction.
81-100% High Quality, armor receives bonus to its damage reduction based on a roll of 1d10
100-120% Advanced, armor receives bonus to its damage reduction based on a roll of 1d20, stacks with High Quality roll.
