Al kinda reminds me of Arkansas. Don´t know if he looked like that though

I hope you don't mean that Webb reminds you of Arkansas appearance-wise.

BWAAHAA!!!! Not hardly !!!!

[Lopov]

I wonder who I was thinking about then? Maybe Moriarty?

Yes, that sounds possible.

Webb & Moriarty side by side.

[SubRosa]

I told you they looked alike!

[mirocu]

They´re two peas in the same game!

Yes, that sounds possible.

Webb & Moriarty side by side.

Looks like Moriarty was the monkey in Webb's mother's woodpile!

[Renee]

Wow, even the shape of their cheeks and chin are about the same.

[Lopov]

A coincidence more or less, when I was creating Webb, I didn't use Moriarty at all as an inspiration. Then again, a lot of characters in FO and TES world are similar to each other, especially if using same hair and facial hair.

Appearance-wise, Alan Webb is inspired by his namesake from an Italian comic book from late '60s. Alan Webb is a minor character in this comic book (Guerra = war on Italian), and he's a ruthless merc just like my Webb. But Webb from the comic book is more evil, he kidnaps a child of an influential general as an excuse to cause a war between Indians and a radical paramilitary organization. Though Zagor, the hero of the comic book series, quickly exposes Webb's plan and saves the kid, the war is already at full scale.

Another Zagor alumni!

[Lopov]

A lot of characters and personalities in my games are inspired by comic book characters which were an important part of my childhood. I still collect Zagor comics today, they're being still released, but old stories were better than present ones. Both main creators (the writer & the painter) already passed away so younger generations took over.

He reminds me of Kiefer Sutherland in "The Lost Boys," lol.

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.

Red is looking good!

My first thought of music was The Gambler, but that song sounds too nice for her. Her robbing career makes me think Dani California. But Followed The Waves sounds like it might be more appropriate. I think she is going to shuffle Benny's deck clean...

[Lopov]

Thanks! The one from RHCP is catchy but lyrics and theme of the last one are the most appropriate. The Gambler is my personal favorite but like you said, it doesn't really represent Red Orchid.

I changed the pic in her physical appearance, instead I added one with the guitar pendant.

[Acadian]

Welcome to Red! Her appearance fits her description and nature perfectly. Nice job!

[Lopov]

Thanks Acadian! First I was going for a more 'femme fatale' look with her but then I settled for something pretty to look at but more ordinary. I blushed her cheeks and lips in the G.E.C.K. - she's using some fine irradiated makeup.

Wow, she really looks like Benny's type! Good job, Lopov!

[Winter Wolf]

Yes, I concur! She looks awesome!

I love the small earrings with the styled hair- it suits her strong and forceful eyes and mouth.

[Lopov]

@mALX - thanks! I figured that Benny should be interested in someone like her, albeit only to reach his own goals.

@Winter Wolf - thanks! I'm glad you noticed the earrings. Despite harsh conditions of the wasteland Red Orchid does her best to look like girls from pre-war magazines and calendars.

Just like all of my characters, Red Orchid is dead-is-dead. But I have a positive feeling that she will repay Benny in full at least. I use a mod that adds vaults to each of the casinos, and she'll probably rob them once she's done with Benny. So either she'll do that either she'll try to take New Vegas over for herself though ATM I don't see her doing the Independent path of the MQ. But we'll see.

[Renee]

Real name: Janet Telia

Nickname: Floozy

Creation Date: June 2017

Status: alive, but her story concluded in 2017. Been gaming with her again lately (2023) because she's just too much fun & capable at what she does..

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Female

Age: 21

SPECIAL: ST: 3, Per: 6, End: 6, Chr: 9, Int: 7, Ag: 6, Lck: 5

Tagged skills: Energy Weapons, Sneak, Speech

Traits:

Place of birth: somewhere in West Virginia, or what's left of it. Edit: Now that Fallout 76 makes this canon, I can safely say she's from Vault 76.

Home: Fort Bannister.

What they do for a living: err... she's an 'escort.' Edit: and also does jobs for Talon Company.

Factions: Talon Company !!!

Companions: She occasionally travels with Talon Company mercs. These guys never seem to last long out in the open though. One of her companions was named Ben D. Banana, and another one is Captain Crank. In the new iteration of her game she never uses companions anymore, but she's also not adverse to travel with someone else.

Love interests: None so far. Janet has a lot of one-night stands though. She also has a girlfriend in her underground bunker in Bannister.

Physical Appearance: Sure, here she is.

Eyes: green

Build: Janet has the build of a pole-dancer, lol. One of these gals who can abuse her body yet somehow she's always in shape.

Habits: She enjoys chems and alcohol when she's got downtime. In this way, she is rather self-destructive, because she tends to obsess over these. The "Better Living Through Chems" mod totally fits her game.

She loves eating anything sweet and/or trashy. So ... Mutfruit, Sugar Bombs, Junk Food, etc.

Weapons of preference: Laser weapons. During earlier days she had a customized plasa rifle, and an ordinary energy pistol for close-range. Nowadays she's got lazer rifles which gets rebuilt by some Talon Company gun tech. She uses a Stun Gun for backup.

She's got a weird but welcome glitch: her Talon Company Lazer Rifles have a habit of knocking over anyone she shoots.

Clothing: the sluttier the better. For armor she sometimes wears Talon Company gear, but more often lately can be found wearing bandit armor, because she finds it easier to just blend in with raiders, which means she's not constantly needing to attack them.

Magic abilities or powers: um.

Miscellaneous - Janet is a total "schemer," often up to something sneaky. She tends to steal a lot around certain people. She tends to be sly and talkative. She enjoys being center of attention sometimes, but other times she can be rather self-destructive (see below).


Theme song: Stupid Girl by Garbage

Biography/Life History: Janet Telia was born and raised in West Virginia, or what is left of it. She comes to Tenpenny Towers (via an alternate start mod) because she's heard it's a good place to live, free of enemies. But in reality Tenpenny is overcrowded, and offers no cheaper rooms. Her contact in Tenpenny, Susan Lancaster, becomes an early 'friend' in the Animated Prostitution mod, but even she doesn't offer Janet a proper place to sleep. For 100 caps though, and a bit of "fun", Susan does allow poor Janet Telia her couch to sleep upon (Blanket mod).

And from here, Janet's story begins. She's like a friend of mine I used to have, always needing a place to crash, or needing money, etc. But in this case, Janet has her own way to make money. In her early days she offered 'services' to men, or women, in exchange for money. Janet also stole whatever she could use.

Eventually, she left Tenpenny. She has a brother in the Wasteland named Jonny Telia. Jonny, however, is part of Talon Company. Eventually, Janet must find her brother, and becomes part of TC as well (this is quest stuff I am writing). After finding him, he's been keeping her busy for sure. Janet has been doing quests faster than I can write them, sometimes.

Wow, Janet is very charismatic. She ought to be able to talk her way out of most anything. She has the build of a dancer from Poland?
