Forum:Questions on the world(mainly on ghouls)

As some that frequent the off topic discussion board may know I am making an attempt to write a fallout novel(link to the page: http://fallout.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:A_fallout_based_novel&t=20110103043045) The main character is a prewar ghoul, who managed to avoid the blast, and survived the radiation long enough to become a ghoul, it starts in 2080(right after most prewar ghouls turned according to the world FAQ page). he is a ghoul at the start and this takes him to the end of his life, I already have some ideas however I don't want to mess with the canon, because in the end I want to take it to Bethesda and see if I could get it published, if it does, it must not touch the canon. To keep the canon preserved I ask you to answer these questions please(if you could link the information that would be grand)

PLEASE READ THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH AND/OR THE ORIGONAL ARTICLE BEFORE YOU ANSWER THESE!!! 1. Is there any way I could have him come in contact with non-ghouls without messing with the canon? 2. How much water do ghouls need? 3.How much sleep do they need? 4.How much food? 5. Would it be possible to find a river right after the bombs drop? 6.Could a ghoul drink this water? 7. Other than bottled water, were could a ghoul find water right after the bombs drop? 8. What are the symptoms of a ghoul approaching the level of brain degrading to become a feral? 9. Where could I go to find more information on the canon of the early(pre-Fallout 1) post-war world? 10. When did the first towns start cropping up, could I have him go into a town without messing with the canon User:Blakebutters


 * It'll be a pretty boring book if it's sent in 2080; the toxin and rad levels were waaay too high for general habitation by anything other than ghouls and FEV at that time. Air quality wouldn't be fine until 2090, at the very least. Nitty Tok. 04:55, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well I have realized that, the book ends at the end of his life(much later than the beginning) but I know for a fact that The main character and other ghouls could survive; simply because they have survived. For the first few years I plan on having him only come in contact with other ghouls. Also never mind the scientist bit, he is instead going to be a gun enthusiast. I plan only on having a couple of pages actually set in 2080, the opening paragraph. then it will skip ahead a few years.User:Blakebutters
