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.

Biography/Life History: Born Vance Beck in Buffalo, New York, Victoria is a transwoman who transitioned later in life. As a youth 'he' was always felt like an outsider, and learned to put on a tough exterior to prevent anyone from guessing the truth of her true gender identity. An avid swimmer, Vance was a member of 'his' school's swim team, and led them to a state championship. Some of 'his' instructors declared that 'he' was part fish. But it was really just a way to escape from thinking about her gender.

In 2067 Vance joined the Navy at 18 in an effort to cure 'himself' of 'his' female gender identity. This was one year after China invaded Alaska, and the military was eager for recruits. A year later Vance graduated from BUD/S and became a S.E.A.L. Vance was immediately deployed behind enemy lines in Chinese-occupied Vietnam and Laos, where 'his' team trained and led Viet Minh guerillas against the Chinese occupiers. Later Vance would be deployed on similar missions in Tibet, the Gobi Desert, and finally Alaska. Vance earned a reputation for being aggressive and reckless, thinking nothing of charging directly into enemy gunfire. This won 'him' a Navy Cross for single-handedly taking a Chinese bunker that had pinned down his team. It also won 'him' two purple hearts for wounds in action.

It was on Vance's first leave that 'he' married 'his' high school sweetheart Cait. Vance was genuinly in love with her, and kept 'his' gender identity a secret from her, fearing rejection if Cait knew the truth. After taking part in the operation that retook Anchorage in January 2077, Vance's team stood down for some much-needed leave.

Vance returned home to Sanctuary Hills, Boston to learn that Cait was pregnant and due in a few months. This is in spite of 'his' being away for over a year. Vance forgave her the infidelity, and determined to be the best parent he could. But at the same time, Vance could no longer take living as a man. Vance came out to Cait and his team, and began transitioning to Victoria. Cait immediately began divorce proceedings. Victoria's team's reaction was varied. Most felt shock and betrayal for not having known the truth. Some accepted her as she was, some could not, and some just muddled through it as best they could, loyal to their old friend, even if they could not grasp any of it.

However the Navy itself was less sympathetic. They gave her an undesirable discharge. Her S.E.A.L. partners gave her a going away bash though, which included presents - her old armor and assault rifle - The Last Full Measure. They even gave the armor a brand new paint job, something flashier than before (the SF Armor mod's Black Ops paint).

Afterward Victoria didn't know what to do with life, beyond having sex reassignment surgery, which she did in September of the same year. At the prompting of her shrink, she wrote a book during that time about her experiences. It was published on October 19th. She was scheduled to give a speech at the Veteran's Hall in Concord on the 24th. She stopped by Sanctuary the day beforehand to sign the final divorce papers, and move the last of her things out.

But the Great War happened, and everything changed. Victoria went to Vault 111 with Cait and her son Shaun. There they were put in cryo-freeze, and Victoria woke up 210 years later with everyone else dead, and Shaun missing. She had a strange memory or dream of seeing a man and woman enter the Vault, open Cait's cryo-chamber, and take the child. They shot her. Victoria wished she could have done that herself. The bullet hole she found in Cait's head proved that it had really happened.

Now Victoria has emerged into a world that is entirely upside down. For once she knows who and what she is, and is living her life on her terms. But nothing else makes much sense. She found her armor and rifle buried under the rubble of her ruined car, and went back to doing what she knew best - fighting.
