Fallout Characters: Show off yours here! Options

[Lopov]

Since TES has its own thread, Fallout should have one too!

Feel free to introduce any characters, new or old, dead or alive, smooth-skins or ghouls, from any Fallout game.

I copied the basic sheet from the TES thread but you can change it as you see fit.

I'll begin with Blondie, which I consider to be my most prominent Fallout character.

Biography/Life History: Blondie is one of the most notorious and fearsome bounty hunters in the Mojave. She made the name for herself by eliminating several legendary outlaws in the desert and beyond, like in Valle del Hierro and Utah. Though Blondie doesn't swear allegiance to any faction, she's been occasionally working with the NCR as a mercenary. Most people are afraid of Blondie because of her grisly profession and cold personality and as such prefer to avoid her. However, residents of Novac are happy to have her, because she had helped the town many times in the past.

Before becoming a bounty hunter, Blondie was a courier who preferred to spend her hard-earned caps on whiskey and more whiskey. Getting shot in the head sobered her up in a way, and opened up a new path ahead, even though a harsh one.

It happens rarely but it does - I just created a female character in New Vegas. I think I did a good job with her looks but I'll let you be the judge of that.

Biography:

A seductress, a thief, a gambler, a casino robber - all of this and more can be said about Red Orchid. She called herself Red Lily, Red Tulip or Red Ivy, but Red Orchid has been her favorite nickname.

The girl known as Maria was born on streets of New Reno, the town where drugs and prostitution walk hand in hand. Already at a young Maria realized that she can put her cunning intellect, sparkling green eyes, nice legs and what's between them to good use. Some girls were meant to be common street whores but not Maria - she was meant for greater things. While her fellow girls were getting high on drugs and lived from day to day, Maria stayed clear off drugs, instead weaving a web that would make her rich.

It wasn't long and she made Gerry Bishop, the head of the Bishop crime family, lose his head, so at only twenty-two years of age Maria made her way into the lap of one of the most influential men of New Reno. But that was just the beginning of her plan that would come to full realization two years later. With Gerry Bishop blindly trusting her, Maria had insight into several valuable information of the Bishop crime family, which she shared with other families of New Reno for a good price, of course.

Scheming, plotting, sharing false rumors and silently making crime families at odds among themselves, Maria was responsible for the full-scale war among the families. While mobsters were busy shooting at each other, she sneaked into each of their casinos, robbed their vaults, and before they realized her ploy, Maria was already miles away from New Reno. To cover up her tracks she began calling herself Red Orchid and for a while joined the NCR as a courier.

When enough time had passed, it was time to spend some of her hard-earned money from New Reno. For the following years she traveled across the Western Wasteland, never staying in one place for too long. To stay in shape she'd rob an occasional bank, a brahmin baron's ranch or a casino. On one of her escapades she met Benny, the influential mobster from New Vegas, the Sin City of the Mojave Wasteland. They became part-time lovers and though Red Orchid wasn't easy to deceive, Benny succeeded doing just that.

He convinced her that she should help him take over New Vegas from Mr. House. There was a courier, about to carry a platinum chip to the New Vegas Strip, and this particular chip was of immense importance to Mr. House because, according to Benny, it controlled Mr. House's army of robots that were patrolling streets of New Vegas. Red Orchid got rid of the courier and took the chip, pretending to be the courier herself so by delivering the chip she would eventually get on the Strip.

But Benny double-crossed her close to a sleepy settlement called Goodsprings. He ambushed her, took the platinum chip and shot her in the head. But while Benny was a good lover, he was obviously a lousy shooter and his bullet merely glanced Red Orchid. For safety reasons Benny had her buried on the town's cemetery but as soon as he departed, Red Orchid was saved by one of Mr. House's robots, who activated itself as soon as it sensed that the fateful courier was endangered.

After being in coma for six days, efforts of local doctor Mitchell bore fruits, and Red Orchid opened her green eyes once again. Benny had a lot to answer for and Red Orchid's revenge would be in style, flavored with some extra spice.

*****

One year after the above-mentioned events Red Orchid runs the Lucky 38 Casino. Mr. House is no longer in charge, and the casino's AI is controlled by Yes Man, as his name suggests, a very obedient robot that fulfills every Red Orchid's whim though it's capable of some advising on it own as well.

Though guests have been frequenting the casino regularly, Red Orchid has greater plans - she intends to restore the Lucky 38 to its former glory, running several establishments that were active before the bombs fell like the VIP studio, hotel and brothel for the affluent.

When it comes to Benny...though Red Orchid at first wanted to return the favor by shooting him in his head, she rather spared his life yet in return made him an obedient lapdog and lover. Benny would never dare to double-cross her again.

Red Orchid lives in her luxurious presidential suite of the Lucky 38, from where she has a great view of entire New Vegas and beyond.
