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.

__

Nickname: Blondie

Real name: Alexandra Wright

Status: alive and kicking

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Female

Age: 34

Starting SPECIAL: S6-P8-E6-C5-I5-A6-L4

Tagged skills: Energy weapons, Lockpick, Melee

Level: 50

Traits: none

Place of birth: New Reno, Nevada

Home: house by the railroad in Novac. Apart from her home, Blondie "owns" some places across the Mojave that belonged to her former enemies, namely the Abandoned BoS bunker by the Colorado river, Hamilton's shack in the Guardian Valley and Trapper's dwelling by Jacobstown

What they do for a living: bounty hunter

Factions: Randall & Associates (formerly), NCR bounty hunting office (presently)

Companions: Guts the German shepherd (always)

Love interests: Blondie is bisexual and has been involved with several men and women from all over the wasteland, some were one-night stands, some were long-lasting affairs and some still last. People I remember that she's been with, are: Ringo, 10 of Spades, Ranger Andy, Bradley (mod-added), Hastings (mod-added), Derrick (mod-added), Beatrix Russell, Sweetie, Red Lucy and I'm probably forgetting someone

Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoOG7LEyUJ0

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.

Oh dear god, I don't think I can come up with all that stuff

My character is just my character. He runs around killing baddies, like Santa Christ, for fun. And caps. No real history behind him, truth be told. He's named after me (mirocu) and that's basically it. But I will try to make an effort and fill in the form. I'll see it as "job training" or sumth'n...

And there you have it

Posted by: Lopov Apr 10 2016, 02:48 PM

Thanks for adding yourself to the thread, mirocu.

Regarding http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Trait- they've been present in every game except in Fallout 3. My characters usually choose some but I forgot to add them to Blondie, that's why she's without any. I could add them with the console but after so many hours together I don't care about them anymore.

Posted by: SubRosa Apr 10 2016, 05:33 PM

So are the Special stats supposed to be what you started with, or what you have in your most recent save?


Blondie always makes me think of a female Man With No Name, since in one of those movies (I think The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly) he was called Blondie as a nickname.


Mirocu, maybe you should change your FO3 guy's name to Raven? Or if that sounds too Goth, Blackhawk?

Traits are neat. In all the other games you can choose to take up to two of them at character generation. They give you a bonus in one thing, but at the cost of a penalty in something else. For example there is a Four Eyes perk that gives you a bonus to Per when wearing glasses, but a penalty to it if not. I use a mod that adds them to Fallout 3.

Theme Music: https://youtu.be/HAXLlaW_4cM

Biography/Life History: Born in 2042 to a good family in Los Angeles. She was a biochemist working for WesTek at Mariposa (where FEV was developed).

It was Loviatar's experiments that led the army to mutiny and start killing scientists. She was dying of cancer. While officially on the FEV project, she was in reality following her own agenda to cure herself. She developed her Prometheus Serum in secret, but after the animal testing stage, she naturally needed some humans to try it on. Her compatriots were already secretly using military prisoners as test subjects, so she appropriated a few for herself.

Naturally the results of her early work were horrific (but I think was actually useful for the FEV work, and probably would become the groundwork for the creation of the first Super Mutants by The Master). The Army found out, and the Colonel in charge committed suicide. Captain Roger Maxson took over, determined to get even, and started killing scientists.

With the Army on its way with torches and pitchforks, Loviatar injected herself with her unfinished serum. It reacted with the cancer cells in her system, and they took over. But she did not die. Her serum worked, even if in some unexpected ways. She shot her way out of Mariposa, and escaped into the desert. The nukes were in the air less than a week later. She was buried by the bombs, and by the time she had dug herself out, she found that Maxson and the others had left Mariposa.

She pursued, and picked them off one by one during the nights through ambushes. Killing opportune targets and then escaping into the darkness before the others could come. But when Maxson and the others reached the Lost Hills bunker, she knew her opportunity for vengeance had gone. She could never kill them all in there. So she was forced to withdraw, before their own patrols could find and kill her. Perhaps permanently.

By then she had discovered that her body now fed off corruption. She could only breathe or drink toxic or irradiated air and water. She could only eat other humans. But she was also immune to radiation, diseases, and toxins. In fact, they made her stronger. Finally, the mutated cancer has resulted in her regenerating from any wound, including age, making her immortal. Her new body seemed perfectly adapted to the newly created wasteland.

Posted by: Lopov Apr 10 2016, 08:51 PM

When I was creating Blondie, she got her name because of her hair and because I heard Maria performed by Blondie on the same day, but these days I think of Clint Eastwood - Blondie many times as well.

I already forgot how pretty Hecate is. And she has a good love interest, I'd say.

Wow, Loviatar is one really intelligent mutie! Love her backstory, you put a lot of effort into it. Habits: eating people = .

Oh, and post whichever SPECIAL you like (or both like you do).

Nickname: Hobo (a.k.a the Hobo)

Real name: the Hobo thinks he knows but doesn't want to tell

Status: alive and tramping

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Age: dangerously close to 60

SPECIAL: S8-P5-E10-C1-I5-A8-L5; some stats were increased with Intense Training

Tagged skills: Explosives, Repair, Small Guns

Traits: none

Place of birth: some vault

Home: "Home is where my mattress is" By the Hobo

What they do for a living: eating and breathing

Factions: Donald Tramp & Sons

Companions: Dogmeat (called Boo / Mutt / Hound by the Hobo)

Love interests: there used to be one girl...like what? 40 years ago?

Physical Appearance: https://imgur.com/bqQNY9q/

Eyes: brown

Build: way taller than average wastelander, quite strong as well

Habits: talking to himself, listening to CONEL-RAD radio, collecting metro tickets, stocking up on pre-war money, creating custom weapons, climbing on high places and watching wastes from above, collecting pre-war garden gnomes and bobbleheads, smoking, drinking beer and nuka-cola, listening to legends about Loviatar and seeing remains of her work in person

Weapons of preference: Hunting Rifle, Railway Rifle, Dart Gun, Shishkebab, Frag grenades, Frag mines, Pulse grenades

Clothing: roving trader outfit, Chinese General's Hat, huge backpack

Magic abilities or powers: the Hobo can perceive certain visions from the past and he's partly psychic - if he dreams of his own death, he knows that it's better to avoid that place.

Explanation: the Hobo isn't DiD and his psychic abilities are the roleplay explanation behind it. However, so far, he was never close to dying.

Miscellaneous: he never carries more than one bottle cap because two or more bring bad luck

Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz766RbceB4

Biography/Life History: the Hobo vaguely remembers his past - he was born in some vault, of that he's sure. He was special in some way, that's why other children didn't like to play with him and even his own parents seemed to be afraid of him. Probably because he could sometimes foretell the future and some people didn't want to know what's going to happen with them.

Whether he left the vault willingly or was he exiled, he doesn't want to remember. There was some explosion, of that he's sure and the Hobo thinks it's because of this explosion that his memory isn't what it used to be. Ever since he's been out in the wastes, he's been a wanderer without any true purpose except for wandering around. He's been all over the post-war USA and wherever he comes, animals like him and the Hobo likes them too. The Hobo doesn't like people and generally avoids any and all settlements. He exchanges a few words with random wastelanders but that's about it.

But if you see him slowly walking down some road, don't underestimate him just because of his looks. The Hobo can be very deadly if you piss him off and he can attack with an assortment of weapons, from simple hunting rifle which you should consider as your lucky death, or the painful railway rifle whose deadly spikes will cripple your limbs, or the similar weapon called the dart gun which not only cripples but poisons you too, or if you're on the Hobo's black list, he'll turn on the shishkebab, called the flaming sword by the Hobo, and burn you down.

Biography/Life History: She was born in 2050 in Denver, Colorado. When she was two years old the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/New_Plague occurred and killed her parents. She was sent to an orphanage, and grew up bad. When she was a teen she was committing cyber-crimes and blackmail. Finally she was arrested by the FBI when she was 21 (in 2071) and given the choice of prison or the military. China had invaded Alaska when she was 16 (in 2066), so they needed every one they could get.

It was an easy decision for Holland - steel bars or shooting people. Since they gave her a choice, she went into the Marine Corps, because she wanted to be the best. She soon learned that prison would have been a lot easier. But hard as the Corps was, it gave her a sense of purpose and belonging that she had never felt before. Given her skill with computers, she was put into Signals Intelligence/Electronic Warfare.

Her first deployment was just a year later, in 2072. She was sent to annex Canada. In 2074 Holland and the Corps hit the beaches of the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Yangtze_Campaign and took Shanghai. A year later her first term of enlistment was up. She could not imagine going back to life as a civilian, so she reenlisted for another six years, and was promoted to Warrant Officer. It was during a major Chinese counterattack on the Marine positions in the winter of 2076/77 that she was taken by the aliens. One moment she was in her battalion HQ working on cracking Chinese encrypted communications, then the next the room turned bright white. She woke up in Mothership Zeta.

Theme Music: thanks to SubRosa - https://youtu.be/RN3exiuyQJc

Biography/Life History: Joe Burg is an extremely strong courier with a heart of gold. He only kills when he really doesn't have any other choice but because of his strength and the matching weapon - the rebar club - his enemies end up looking like a pre-war tank drove over them. But Joe can't help it, he swears he just touched them.

Joe is happily in love with Julie Farkas, the leader of the Followers of the Apocalypse and they live together in her tower in the Old Mormon Fort. These days Joe rarely leaves the fort because he watches over the followers and his girlfriend, protecting them from Freeside Thugs. He occasionally accompanies some followers out in the Mojave on a mission.

When it comes to mental agility, Joe is quite slow so Julie is used to explaining him some things over and over again, like that plants aren't the same as implants, and that bunny hunter isn't the same as bounty hunter or that some consoles are meant to be pressed on instead of being mashed on.

After she had convinced Nadine to return to her worried mother in the Capital Wasteland to tell her that she's alive, the couple decided to run the Duchess Gambit together, with Nadine being the ferryman and Ally being the guard. They make a living by transporting occasional passengers back and forth between the Capital Wasteland and Point Lookout, and they made a deal with Jimmy Morgan, the merchant, of selling him delicious Punga fruits, that grow only in Point Lookout. Among others, Ally likes to learn of Point Lookout's past from various pre-war recordings and sources and of course she likes to roam through the swamp to ensure that swampfolk don't get too numerous.

Weapons of preference: Colt M4A1 Carbine

Clothing: Reinforced Leather Armor, later NCR Powered Armor. Every hat or helmet in the Mojave..

Magic abilities or powers: None

Theme Music: https://youtu.be/5Y2YNFj_cNg

Biography/Life History: Annie was an orphan from The Hub, California. She grew up on the streets, and at a young age went to work on the caravans. First as a simple gopher, and over time learning a thing or two about working on machinery and tech, using guns to fend of Raiders like the Khans, and of course how to survive in the wilds.

When she was old enough, she joined the NCR, craving more excitement than that of a simple trader. She got it, participating in the NCRs massacre of http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Bullhead_City and later the NCRs war with the Brotherhood of Steel (in which they took Helios One). Her ability to act independently and take the initiative was noted by her superior officer, then General Aaron Kimball. Kimball recommended her for Ranger training, and afterward she became his hand-picked 'mechanic', being sent wherever something dirty and quiet needed to be done, be it spying, espionage, or assassination.

She was in California during the First Battle of Hoover Dam. But when Caesar's Legion began to renew its strength a few years later, and New Vegas began showing itself be a morass that the NCR might never pull itself out of, the President tapped her shoulder. She was sent back to the Mojave in the guise of a package courier. Her mission - to assassinate Mr. House and bring the families of The Strip to heel. And if the opportunity presented itself, to also assassinate Caesar and his Legate Lanius.

In time, she would succeed at killing all of her targets, participate in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, and hand the Mojave to President Kimball with a bow tie wrapped around it. But she felt no pride in her work any more. Her second visit to The Divide had forced her to take a long, hard look at her handiwork, and Annie didn't like what she saw. After her mission was over, she felt her last duty was done. She sent President Kimball a package - her military ID and resignation.

Afterward she http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RidingIntoTheSunset (or sunrise to be more precise), looking to do something more worthwhile with her life than being an assassin.

Traits:

Perks: Daddy's Boy (2), Educated, Finesse, Gun Nut (2), Iron Fist, Lady Killer, Little Leauger (2), Rad Regeneration, Scoundrel, Silent Running, Survival Expert, Thief (3)

Place of birth: Vault 101

Home: He rents a home in Megaton, and also a suite in Tenpenny Towers. Both of these are added by me.

What they do for a living: He used to do some scavenging, but nowadays he's too busy with actual quests. Main Quest, then Broken Steel. Nowadays he does random missions for the Regulators and Brotherhood of Steel.

Factions: Brotherhood / Citadel.

Companions: He's got three Citadel followers, again, these are added by me. Star Paladin Cross was with him for a while but she got got pretty quickly.

Love interests: None. He had a crush on Amata. Cho recently got locked out of 101 though, after killing her father.

Physical Appearance: Sure. http://i.imgur.com/j2i2Q9h.jpg?1.

Eyes: yes, he has two of them.

Build: slender yet muscular. In other words, he's got the generic vanilla build.

Habits: meditation, daydreaming about baseball.

Weapons of preference: He started with "Winchester" rifles. Small guns in general. Laser weapons are secondary to him. Nowadays with Broken Steel active, he's got the Citadel Assault Rifle, which is a modified assault rifle I added. I RP'd that the Citadel scholars and soldiers, (who constantly pursue the feat of making longer-lasting, more accurate weapons for him, right?) were able to make a better, more accurate, deadlier version of the usual assault rifles.

Clothing: Most often he can be found wearing light armor while in the field, mostly added by a military mod. Prewar clothes are for those days when he's hanging around Megaton or some other civilized society.

Magic abilities or powers: Ha!

Miscellaneous: Cho's game originally started on Xbox. I did the entire MQ on Xbox, but then switched over to PC for Broken Steel. and man I am GLAD I did it this way, because BS is freekin' hard without mods. That being said, I don't use that many mods in his game which affect gameplay.

Theme song:

Biography/Life History: Cho Zen Wan is my Lone Wanderer, the one whose game is associated with the Main Quest, and having a father who abandoned him.

In this stash were all sorts of media: computer files, compact discs, records, etc. Cho managed to find some old baseball games in this stash and became a fan of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichiro_Suzuki a baseball player who originally came to Seattle from Japan. Being Asian in a world of black and white American baseball players fascinated Cho, and so Ichiro is the guy Cho daydreams about most of all.

Upon being forced out of 101, Cho also became obsessed with finding his farther, I mean father, as per the Main Quest. The main twist is his Pipboy App, with programming written by him and Marge, but mostly Marge (who was more of a computer specialist during her Vault days). This app allows him to speak into his arm, which automatically records anything he says for further download to computer.

Cho tends to be helpful, mildly snarky, and more Good than Evil, though he occasionally does some grey-area things. He sees the Wasteland like a big game, almost like a huge game of "army men". He has a sense of humor and does not take life too seriously.

Loviatar's http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61721 is a mod I made. It takes a boarded up bungalow in the Novac motel's lot and turns it into a player house. These days I use it for all of my NV characters once they get far enough east to discover Novac, since it is a nice, central location. I also created a http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61720, using a boarded up house near Chet's and the Saloon. I suppose I should put both up on the Nexus.

Renee: Neat to see Cho make the Show Off topic! I love how you worked Ichiro into his story as a childhood hero.

Thanks for the template. That is a lot easier than copying and pasting one of the previous entries and deleting all the info.

Biography/Life History:

Years ago the Overseer of Vault 101 made an unofficial pact with some infamous Doctor from Commonwealth � in exchange for sharing secrets of the vault technology the Doctor would provide robots to act as workers and vault peacekeepers.

But in September 2277 scientist James rebelled against the Overseer�s tyranny and escaped from Vault 101. Since the Overseer couldn�t afford to send anyone after him, because that would violate the rules, he yet again contacted the shady Commonwealth Doctor, hoping that the old friend can provide him some means to stop James, preventing him to reveal the vault location and its strict regime. The Doctor didn�t disappoint � without hesitation he sent to the Capital Wasteland one of the most capable androids, the fourth generation of the SX model. Designed specifically for several complex purposes, SX androids are created from fallen soldiers, kept in cryogenic containers, but only a minority of them was capable to act as obedient androids upon "waking up" - the most problematic being the fact that androids couldn't cope with their rebirth which eventually caused brain overloading and death, that's why the Doctor improved his technique and inserted microchips inside their heads, responsible for suppressing memories from their previous lives. The high point of the SX generation and the greatest pride of the Doctor is called SX4-Volodymyr - an intelligent half-android, enhanced with a cyber arm and a bionic eye, it�s not just unnaturally strong, perceptive and durable, it also excels in usage of energy weapons and scientific knowledge. Like others, SX4 is created from the corpse of soldier Nick Volodymyr who died in the battle of Anchorage in 2077.

His mission is simple � track down the rogue scientist and execute him. But what neither the Commonwealth Doctor nor the Overseer know, is that SX4�s been lately feeling odd � but do androids actually feel? He�s also caught himself occasionally thinking about things which he never thought about before � but is he supposed to think too much? And why the second part of his name � Volodymyr � lately sounds more familiar than SX4? Maybe it�s just some �minor problem� which will be fixed once he returns to Commonwealth, but maybe it�s something major�

Posted by: SubRosa Apr 19 2016, 06:19 PM

Very cool! I am looking forward to seeing more of SX4. I see he is showing off some beefcake for the ladies of the Wasteland... He looks kind of like Deeno though, which makes him scary (Deeno being the cause of all evil in the world and all...).

I love the idea of recharging in Protectron chambers.

Now the question is, do androids dream of electric sheep? It sounds like Volodymyr might...

Biography/Life History:

‘t was supposed to be easy.

One final delivery and then retire for good in his trailer in sunny California.

But the final job went wrong. Horribly wrong.

Shot in the head because of the poker chip he was supposed to deliver to the Strip, 74-year old courier Ben Stevens survived just barely.

At first he was thinking to return home and forget about the mess. But… in his long service as a courier Ben Stevens never failed to fulfill a contract. Never. And despite being half-blind, bearing with arthritis and chest pain on exertion Ben Stevens decided to get the poker chip back and bring it to where it was supposed to be brought… no matter what.

Because of his "conditions", Ben can only run for a very, very short time before his chest pain kicks in, he can't crouch for too long either because his knees hurt too much, when walking long distances, he has to stop to rest, and his half-blind eye doesn't greatly contribute to his shooting skills. On the other hand, Ben Stevens has been quite lucky for his entire life - he escaped many close meetings with the Grim Reaper and as such, his luck is quite high (Luck=7).

Name: Rattler

Behind the name: Rattler is actually his real name. He was born in a Quopet tribe north of the Capital Wasteland, where boys at the age of 14 had to perform a courageous act and based on their acts they were given names. One of the boys descended down a nearby pit, where not even tribe's most brave warriors dared to set foot, because deep below lived a giant mutated rattlesnake that claimed lives of many. Cunning and agile, the boy managed to kill the giant rattlesnake with a knife, then poisoned this very knife with snake's venom. He returned to the tribe and challenged the tribe's greatest warrior to a duel with knives. The boy easily won, not just thanks to his reflexes but thanks to the snake's poison which made even the greatest warrior feel weak. After the bloody duel was over and news of the giant snake's death spread, the boy was given his name - Rattler.

Status: dead

How did he die: he performed suicide by killing himself and Eulogy Jones with Fat Man

Race: Caucasian

Gender: male

Age: 29

SPECIAL: S8-P6-E8-C3-I3-A7-L5

Tagged skills: Melee Weapons, Small Guns, Unarmed

Place of birth: the Quopet tribe in the NE of North America.

More about place of birth: At some point, the tribe was visited by friendly Followers of the Apocalypse who tried to educate tribesmen and supply them with food and medicines when necessary. Most importantly, they tried to dissuade the tribe from their cannibalistic habits. Thanks to the Followers, young Rattler learned how to read and write and as he kept hearing stories about the world outside the canyon he was born in, he decided to head out on his own. The chieftain who never liked Rattler because of his rebellious and bloodthirsty nature, forbade him to leave because according to the tribe's laws nobody was allowed to set out on his own. With his bare hands Rattler killed the chieftain, then mutilated his dead body in front of the entire tribe and as a final act - he ate his heart. Tribesmen didn't dare to go against him, but they permanently exiled him from the tribe, thus opening his way into the wasteland.

Home: nowhere, he's a drifter. But currently he's in the Capital Wasteland.

What they do for a living: enslaving, pillaging, robbing, murdering

Factions: slavers

Companions: none and there'll never be, he's a loner

Love interests: oh please!

Eyes: dark brown

Build: tall, semi-muscular

Physical Appearance:
http://imgur.com/DnexvNW (human)

http://imgur.com/nacSbid (ghoul)

Weapons of preference:
1 - a unique combat knife, called Pretty Woman, permanently "enchanted" with the rattlesnake's poison
2 - a standard combat shotgun
3 - frag grenades

Clothing:
1 - a unique set of raider commando armor called simply Rattler's Armor
2 - a unique red bandana called Red Luck

Perks: cannibal

About PipBoy: he knew how to use it because one of the Followers in his tribe owned one, and occasionally allowed Rattler to fiddle with it. But he acquired his own from some friendly fellow in the wasteland who claimed to escape from Vault 101 and was celebrating his freedom. After emptying a few bottles of beer together, Rattler cut the unsuspecting man's arm off and then took PipBoy from it. He left the vault dweller to bleed to death.

Theme song: (warning: decreasing sound volume in advance is advised because the default loudness on the linked page is very high) he doesn't have a theme song but there's a http://picosong.com/tEBA/ which he keeps whistling. The melody is a part of some pre-war song which he found on a holotape and while he didn't understand much of the song because it wasn't in English, he liked the instrumental part and can be heard whistling it, especially when walking through wastes.

Biography/Life History: after killing a bunch of bounty hunters that were after his dirty head, Rattler realized that he should head south, as he always did, when things up north got too rough for his bloody taste. He heard rumors about slavers operating in the Capital Wasteland, so why not take a chance…

While Rattler can be considered a raider, he’s actually more than a mere raider. He’s a filthy scumbag that revels in pillaging and murdering. He’s the best example of the worst that humanity has to offer. If you see a lone traveler with a red bandana, run! Else you’re about to run out of your luck…

Posted by: SubRosa Jul 23 2016, 07:35 PM

Rattler looks a little like 3 Dog gone evil! He is definitely not fighting the good fight.

Posted by: Acadian Jul 24 2016, 12:16 AM

As you normally do, Lopov, you have put a good deal of careful thought into creating this guy. It seems like he will be a character that everyone loves to hate.

Occurred to me that I haven't properly introduced Alice to everyone, despite exploring FO4 with her from day 1:

Name: Alice

Status: Alive

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Female

Age: 26

SPECIAL: S4 P7 E4 C10 I10 A7 L4

Place of birth: Vault 81

Home: Red Rocket Truck Stop

What they do for a living: Mercenary, hunter, robot tinkerer

Factions: None

Companions: Heavily modified Protectron named Tiberius

Love interests: Cait

Physical Appearance: http://imgur.com/UydWfuS

Eyes: Blue

Build: Slim

Habits: Collecting Deathclaw claws, singing without realizing

Weapons of preference: When in power armour: Custom minigun with explosive rounds, super sledge
When out of power armour: Kar98k sniper rifle

Clothing: Leather armour on top of Gunner harness, custom power armour

Life history: Not much to say here. Alice grew up in the safety of Vault 81, but left once the Overseer allowed it. Her natural talent for fixing robots and shooting things in the head has allowed her to do quite well for herself out in the Commonwealth.
After finding a deactivated Protectron in an old warehouse, Alice fixed him up and gave him some modifications. The two have been nigh-inseparable ever since.
Alice was once hired to deal with a group of raiders at the Combat Zone, where she met Cait - the two bonded over a mutual love of pretty girls and shooting things and after helping with Cait's...situation...Alice asked her to move in with her.

Posted by: SubRosa Jul 24 2016, 02:06 AM

Alice is a long way from Wonderland. I love her hair. It looks like it is vanilla too, which is really cool.

Posted by: hazmick Jul 24 2016, 02:52 AM

It's technically vanilla hair. I have a mod which 'adds' new hairstyles, but it primarily mashes existing styles together to make 'new' ones. Alice's style is called 'Waste Anchor Unladylike', and combines the Waste Maiden shaved side ponytail, Unladylike sidesweep, and the Anchorage stripes.

I'm really happy with her look, probably one of my favourite characters that I've ever made. Bethesda doesn't always make the character creation process an easy one either.

Posted by: Acadian Jul 24 2016, 03:15 AM

Alice looks very neat! Good job with her.

Posted by: Winter Wolf Jul 24 2016, 08:18 AM

I want to see Rattler and Alice battle it out in a cage fight! Lol.

Great work, Lopov and Hazmick. Rattler does look like an evil 3 dog while Alice has a wild wasteland look about her. If the battle takes place Rattler might have to change the loner attitude as Alice has a Protectron. Do you have a pic of the robot companion?

I hope Rattler has some tricks up his sleeve, or some extra rattlesnake poison.

Posted by: Lopov Jul 25 2016, 08:32 PM

@SubRosa - Rattler's definitely miles away from the Good Fight!

@Acadian - indeed, I don't expect for Rattler to be liked. Love to hate is a good way to put it.

@hazmick - Alice looks very good but most of all I like her freckles, they fit her. The scar looks good too.

@Winter Wolf - Rattler's combat knife Pretty Woman is permanently enchanted with the poison. In fact I "borrowed" this enchantment from the Ant Sting which is a knife in the vanilla game. I think that he and Alice are too far away to meet.

Biography/Life History: Major A. Holl is my first PC character for Fallout 3. Yah. He will be a guy who grew up alongside of my other t00ns in Vault 101. All of these folks have grown up yearning for something they've seen from the past, in this case, he'll yearn to be part of an army.

In my RPing, there is a stash of pre-war memorabilia which includes video recordings, music, all sorts of stuff in Vault 101. Cho Zenwahn grew up yearning for baseball. Joe King grew up yearning for action movies, karate, partying. Marge N. Overra grew up yearning for a simple life: 9 to 5, suburban home with 2.2 kids and a sheep dog, white picket fences, etc. She yearned to be a computer programmer.

Major A. Holl grew up yearning for the army life. Moving constantly, yelling and getting yelled at, schedules, discipline, all of that. Because of this, he'll be most likely to explore all the DLC Cho and my others have ignored so far. Hee hee.

Update: Major A. Holl got inducted into Mothership Zeta and though he put up a brave, valiant effort to survive, was not prepared at all for the aliens who dwell within. He wound up pwned within a couple hours.

Posted by: Lopov Aug 3 2016, 06:08 AM

If you want to make him look angrier, lower his inner eyebrows, darken his eyesockets and use some eyeliner - it does wonders. Also, decrease his sellion height, from what I see, it's quite high, by doing this he'll immediately give you an angry glance.

Posted by: Winter Wolf Aug 3 2016, 07:48 AM

I concur. Gender- Sarge is an absolute classic!

I couldn't stop laughing at that one.

That pic looked so cool! That hair and beard combination is the best! What happened between him and the Tunnel Snakes? He looks like he was either part of their set up or ran over them with a cement mixer because they did not live up to his military dreams.

What sort of weapons will he use. Automatic rifles or a bit of Heavy Incinerator perhaps?

Favorite wasteland radio station: CONEL-RAD

Biography/Life History:

In the wastes justice could sometimes be a little slow and Alan Webb speeded it up one too many times. However, the first problem was that not all of his targets deserved to be shot. And the second problem was that Webb wasn’t any kind of a lawman, but a mere courier whose hobby included picking off ‘baddies’. So it wasn’t long before real lawmen were on Webb’s tail. He was given a fair choice – to peacefully serve a few years in prison or act as a courier and scout for the New California Republic. Unsurprisingly, Webb chose the latter.

His scouting jobs, alas, quickly turned into sniping jobs. When the NCR asked him to spy on someone shady or corrupt, these particular words - “shady or corrupt� were good enough for Webb to shoot those guys. Sniped from a distance so they never knew what hit ‘em. While some influential people of the Republic saw potential in his off the record actions, a lot of others couldn’t allow for the NCR to be represented by guys like Alan Webb.

After some more unfortunate incidents, as Webb called them, the NCR let him out of their unofficial contract but forbade him to operate close to their most important cities. To keep his mouth shut, they gave him a handful of caps and promptly escorted him out of California. Caps didn’t last long, especially if one harbors love for whiskey so after his pockets were getting empty, Webb joined the Mojave Express, a local courier-employing office of Nevada and California. His first assignment was to deliver a small platinum chip to the New Vegas Strip…a delivery which would dramatically change the life of Alan Webb.

Posted by: SubRosa Nov 1 2016, 09:49 PM

You have me thinking of going back to Fallout 3 with all this Wastelanding!

Alan sounds like quite the Wasteland Vigilante! I think he and Molly Hatchet have a lot in common. She has a habit of playing judge, jury, and executioner as well. Though in the Capital Wasteland there is no one to argue! Annie Ley Oak had a similar background as well. Except she was recruited by her old General Kimball specifically to be an assassin and "fixer" for him. So he did not mind people turned up dead. That is what he called on her for in the first place!

Annie was really disillusioned with the things she had done when she finished New Vegas. I have been meaning to bring her over to the Capital Wasteland. Maybe I will do that soon?

Posted by: Lopov Nov 20 2016, 07:42 PM

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 http://shop.sergiobonelli.it/scheda/3776/Guerra-.html (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!

Posted by: Lopov Nov 20 2016, 08:17 PM

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.

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 https://youtu.be/Jj4nJ1YEAp4, but that song sounds too nice for her. Her robbing career makes me think https://youtu.be/Sb5aq5HcS1A. But https://youtu.be/S3_Yrmhwnu8 sounds like it might be more appropriate. I think she is going to shuffle Benny's deck clean...

Posted by: Lopov Nov 24 2016, 09:34 PM

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.

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

Posted by: Lopov Nov 24 2016, 09:53 PM

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.

@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.

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, http://i.imgur.com/cuw1MYV.png.

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 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/22087 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhPUAVgHZc

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.

Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKieGUH9pzg

Life History:

On the 23rd of October 2077, on that faithful day when the Great War started and ended, when those ‘lucky’ were safely sheltered in vaults and those unlucky were left outside, there was a police officer who obediently performed his duties despite the approaching apocalypse. His name was Peter Paul Barlow, called PP (Pee Pee) by his colleagues. PP Barlow was a very strict officer, unpopular not just among offenders but among his colleagues as well.

PP Barlow knew what was supposed to happen on that day but he would never allow a nuclear holocaust to prevent him from doing his job. Like every other morning, he came to the HQ at seven o’clock, put on his fine police uniform, had a coffee and a cigarette in the common room, all alone, and then sat in his car and drove from the parking lot, always on a lookout for potential criminals. Because none of his colleagues came to work this day, and PP Barlow assumed that the same applies to all neighboring police stations, he felt even more responsible for peace and order. Perhaps he was the only officer on duty in the entire region, or maybe even in the entire country.

After driving for about ten minutes PP Barlow abruptly stopped the car, brakes screeching. His ever-watchful eyes spotted the cat on a nearby tree that couldn’t come down on its own. As he always did, PP Barlow informed the HQ of his task ahead –“a cat in distress�, waited for response, not really expecting to get any this morning, and then stepped out of the car.

“Meow!� the cat greeted him, recognizing a potential savior. It moved slightly closer and PP Barlow gently grabbed it. He was far from a gentle police officer what several offenders experienced on their own skin, but PP Barlow liked animals very much, liked them more than people. As he was caressing the cat in his hands, blinding light engulfed the entire sky and not even PP’s fine sunglasses, extra-tinted and ordered from Switzerland, weren’t of much help – everything around him got blinding white.

“This is it then,� he told the cat which responded with a frightened meow.

That was when the Great War started and already two hours later it ended, but what was left behind, was only a shadow of the former world.

…

…

…

For PP Barlow, however, not much changed. He survived the atomic war and defied even high radiation levels yet not entirely without consequences. He became a ghoul, but in the long run it didn’t matter – he wasn’t particularly good-looking when he was human either. But as long as his police pistol was working and the badge was firmly clasped on his uniform, PP Barlow still represented - represented the Law. What he didn’t know or at least wasn’t fully aware of, is that radiation fried his brain. Not completely, but still. He hadn’t gone feral like many other ghouls, but he adapted to his new surroundings from a simple perspective of a police officer whose job was to purge the land of evil-doers. There were other types of offenders in this new world – Super-Mutants, raiders, dangerous beasts - and PP Barlow’s mission was to stop them and prevent innocents from being endangered. There were also lots of cars left at inappropriate places and PP Barlow’s job was to clear the roads – usually by blowing up the cars of course. Lately he heard stories of a police station in the Capital Wasteland, and that is where PP Barlow headed, hoping to get in contact with more police officers and find a functional jail. But the road ahead isn't easy and PP Barlow will meet all kinds of offenders to deal with...

Nice job! I like his age....241 years old! He is also very strong and agile, but his Charisma is quite low. I wonder if this will make him even more hated than if he weren't also a ghoul.

Biography/Life History:

It was a few years ago when Lee Cyeng joined the Mojave Express, the leading courier service of the western wasteland. Taciturn, mistrustful, even rude, he would rarely talk to other couriers and would never talk about himself, so where he had hailed from and what had he done before becoming a courier, wasn’t known to anyone. Yet the deep scars on his face and body told a story of their own and perhaps it was better for this story to remain untold.

Lee Cyeng, in secret called “the mute chink� by some couriers, was never seen drinking alcohol, smoking or taking any other kind of drugs, and most of the time he preferred sleeping on rough terrain instead of on a proper bed. He would go to sleep early and wake up before dawn to exercise or meditate. Unbeknownst to other couriers, he knew very well that he was called the mute chink by some of them.

Very rarely they saw him using firearms, instead he relied on his bare fists, sharp knives, makeshift axes and he wasn’t a stranger to sledgehammers either. Even those that weren’t fond of him, had to admit that the mute chink was a very skilled knife thrower, which made them even more curious, why would someone like him become a courier in the first place. Sometimes he’d make his own throwing weapons from scrap metal.

When rumors spread that Lee Cyeng was killed in an ambush close to Goodsprings, those that knew the mute chink, didn’t feel very sorry for him. Though he had never done anything bad, at least not to them, his unpleasant attitude didn’t make him popular either.

While it was a habit among couriers to inform relatives of dead ones about the passing of their loved ones, nobody knew whether Lee Cyeng had any family at all and it seemed that with his death all the possible questions about his past would remain unanswered.

But shortly afterward new rumors spread over the Mojave. The courier who supposedly died close to Goodsprings, made his way out of the grave. “Not even a bullet in the head could stop the chink,� said one of the couriers. “Woe to the guys who tried to kill him. I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes.�

And he was right. A few years ago Lee Cyeng used to be a bloodthirsty rebel from San Francisco, fighting against the New California Republic. After they caught him, he was on death row for his crimes against the NCR when two influential senators from Shady Sands pulled their strings to free Lee Cyeng and offer him pardon in exchange for becoming their hired gun, or in Lee Cyeng’s case – their hatchet man. Under a pretense of a courier he would roam the wastes, carrying out executions, sabotages or espionage on behalf of his shady bosses. His latest assignment that took him to the Mojave, was to assassinate the man called Zombie, a leader of War Trash, the terror cell that lately began targeting the NCR. But before that Lee Cyeng has another mission to complete, and of much more personal nature – to hunt down and kill the men who tried to kill him.

Posted by: SubRosa Oct 8 2017, 08:12 PM

The Bando looks pretty cool. I take it you are using the Goodsprings location, at least to start?

That mute chink rose from the grave!

She has a similar backstory to Annie Ley Oak's. Except she wasn't hostile to the NCR, and served in its military willingly. But otherwise both are assassin's for the NCR.

Posted by: Lopov Oct 8 2017, 08:47 PM

I'm using the location in Freeside. He was given a key to the bando from Ralph on behalf of the King who figured out that it's better and useful to be in good relations with Lee Cyeng. At least that's how I roleplayed it.

The story about Zombie is from https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55120/ mod, which Lee will do after dealing with Benny.

Weapons of preference: Takizakura "Waterfalls of Cherry Blossoms" (katana)

Clothing: Samurai Armor

Theme song: https://youtu.be/WbsDPbr8qoM

Biography/Life History: Hidetaka was born in 1537, the daughter of daimyo Oda Nobuhide and his wife, Tsuchida Gozen. The legendary Oda Nobunaga was one of her old brothers. While female, Hidetaka pretended to be male, in order to become a samurai. After the death of her father a war of succession followed within clan Oda, with several contenders vying for leadership. Hidetaka supported Nobunaga, and history records that 'he' was killed by Oda Nobutsugu along the Sh�nai River near Moriyama Castle in 1555, when 'he' was 18 years old.

But in reality Hidetaka was taken for study by the aliens in Mothership Zeta. Most of the time Hidetaka was kept cryogenically frozen. But the aliens made a mistake when they revived her and placed her in the same room as another captive. They teamed up, and pretended to fight in order to draw in the aliens. That was all the opportunity they needed to escape and arm themselves. In the end all of the aliens were killed, and Hidetaka escaped to the surface of the Earth.

Hidetaka found herself in the Capital Wasteland, in the year 2277. The world was a nuclear wasteland, and she was on the other side of the planet from her home and surrounded by gaijin. But she did not find herself to be unhappy. For she quickly discovered that gender roles were non-existent in the new world. She cast off her male disguise, and finally lived her life as herself. While learning to speak English has been a slow and difficult process, Hidetaka has little difficulty in speaking the most important language of the Wasteland - violence. Trained from childhood as a samurai, she was a master of armed and unarmed combat. The strong ties Clan Oda possessed with Portuguese traders also stood her in good stead. For like many Oda warriors, she had learned to use an arquebus as well. Modern firearms were like children's toys compared to those old matchlocks.

Hidetaka has wandered the Wasteland ever since, selling her services as a Ronin. She will not serve any Master however. Her sense of ethics forbids her from banditry or assassination. She only fights the good fight. However, she never forgets a slight or an enemy. To her vengeance is as real as breathing.

She is a Zen Buddhist, and seeks perfection in her Art as a swordswoman, and following the Noble Eightfold Path. Hidetaka does drink, but only rarely, and never to excess. Of course she does not use chems. Physical vices are for the weak. She does not gamble for the same reason. Her idea of excitement is doing her katas. Her way of relaxing is meditating.

A few years after landing in the Capital Wasteland, Hidetaka began to make her way west. By 2281 she found herself in Nevada. Near the town of Goodsprings she discovered a courier who had been killed by a radscorpion. Hidetaka buried the man and took his belongings. But a day later she was attacked in her sleep by Benny and his Khan mercenaries, and taken prisoner. Benny seemed to think that she was the courier, and with her continual difficulty in speaking English, she could not explain otherwise. He shot her in the head and buried her in a grave. But Hidetaka was rescued by Victor, and nursed back to health by the local doctor.

Now that she is well again, Hidetaka has sworn a blood oath to kill Benny, his retainers, his family, and all associated with them.

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.

Awesome. One appealing thing about “The Wasteland� is that it provides opportunity for a new beginning. Victoria appears ready to meet that opportunity head on!

Posted by: Lopov Jul 20 2018, 10:47 AM

Great background for Victoria. I imagine that living in a whole new world will be easier for her because people will no longer judge her because of her decision to change gender.

You use a mod to have more SPECIAL stats at the start, right?

Victoria is inspired by a real person - Kristin Beck. I read her story, and thought she would be perfect for Fallout.

When I was younger I used to think of the end of the world as a sad thing. But these days I see the upside. No job, no taxes, no president, no congress. There are no people, so there is no bigotry. You can stay up late, and eat all the ice cream victims you want. What's not to like? I say bring on the comet/nuclear war/alien invasion/zombie apocalypse/breakdown of society.

Lopov: you are right, I use a mod that starts you with 40 Special points, the same as the other games. The default is too few. There should be a link to it in the F4 Mods topic.

Theme song:

Biography/Life History: Poor Marc. He moved to Goodsprings on some sort of caravan, which got broken up somehow, all its members scattered. After moving, he began to explore Goodsprings, unsure of what he wanted to do.

He finally decided: all he wanted to do (now that his friends were all gone) was make it into the main area of Vegas, where all the action is. He looked at his map, found an area to the north which had a lot of streets and avenues. Figured that must be it, so he'd head there.

Literally minutes after starting his journey, Marc got pwned by a pair of giant radscorps.

Posted by: Renee Jul 22 2018, 02:41 PM

Marc already got pwned. Which is okay, I didn't feel much connection to him. So here, meet my second NV character. Her name is Karen Aboucha.

"Karen Aboucha" was one of my characters from Sims: Castaway, which is a game in which the player makes a bunch of sims that wind up getting shipwrecked on an island. In that game, She was supposed to be a nurse, and this'll be true in New Vegas, as well.

Clothing: Wasteland Settler Outfit is her fave so far. She has a set of leather armor too, but hasn't worn it yet.

Miscellaneous: Karen is my second New Vegas character. She is psychic, and can foresee many things, including any possible demises in her future. Therefore, her game is not DiD. She will not do the MQ. She started her game as a teetotaler, but now that she's more relaxed and settled into Goodsprings she's become more of an avid drinker.

Theme song:

Biography/Life History: Karen moves to the Mojave for some reason, to be some sort of nurse. She cared about many people in her past, and looks to further her assistances here in New Vegas.

So far, her lifestyle is pretty simple. She's not really interested in joining anybody. She's a simple gatherer, pretty much. She loves moseying along the desert, looking for useful things.

Posted by: Lopov Jul 22 2018, 03:52 PM

Hello to castaway Karen! Her ability to predict future will be really helpful in the Mojave.

Roleplaying a "desert nurse" in the Mojave is a very viable option thanks to some factions that strive to help people, it might take a while to meet these people, though.

What happened to Marc?

Posted by: SubRosa Jul 22 2018, 04:38 PM

Looks like Marc did just as well as General Burnsides then...

A good-natured person in a Fallout game? I am not sure that they go together!

Karen will fit in well with one of the factions. I think she will have to get to New Vegas before you can join them. Look around Freeside...

Posted by: TheCheshireKhajiit Jul 22 2018, 04:58 PM

Karen sounds like a fun character to play. Khajiit concurs with what the others are saying, there is a faction made for her called .

Posted by: Renee Jul 22 2018, 08:52 PM

Oh nice, so there is a faction which supports her roleplay? That's great!

I didn't spoil myself, Khajiit! I wanna try to discover what this faction could be.

Lopov: Didn't answer your Q yesterday, sorry. Marc basically looked at the in-game map, and noticed a bunch of streets crisscrossing in a grid-pattern up to the north. He assumed this was Vegas.

He spent the night in the Abandoned Shack, and left the next morning. Literally minutes after he left, he got chopped by a huge radscorp. I think Marc faltered a bit, lost his step, and before he could even move *CHOP* the scorp got him again. And again. Fourth time, and that was it.

Rolling Karen was pretty easy though. I already had her name (which for me is the toughest part, along with some sort of half-baked idea about what she's supposed to be). Only thing I forgot is to record what time I made her, so I can possibly do her horoscope in the future. That shouldn't be a problem though, I still have her very first save, so I can just use the time on that save.

Life History: Lewis Logan was an ordinary scout in the US Army but he gained a recognition when he was caught by rebel soldiers on a mission in Bolivia. He was brought to the underground bunker and tortured but Logan didn't reveal any vital information to hostile forces. On the second day of his captivity he managed to free himself and enacted revenge on his captors - not only did he single-handedly execute all of twenty nine hostile soldiers with just a combat knife, Logan also stole important holotapes about reports of enemy movements and established a radio connection with his HQ in Bolivia. With coordinates of hostile forces now exposed, the US Army attacked the enemy territory, and Logan joined the attack by sneaking through the jungle and repeating the procedure from the bunker - sneaking behind his enemies and stabbing them to death.

Upon returning back home, Logan was proclaimed a war veteran and because of his sneak & kill approach, he gained a nickname "Snake" which he was never very fond of. Not long after his wife Nora gave a birth to their first son - Shaun - and the family moved to Sanctuary Hills to enjoy some peaceful family life. But it didn't last for long and 210 years later "Snake" Logan is now on a hunt for his wife's killer and on a search for his missing son.

As it has become obvious that to accomplish his goal, Logan will need some friends in the Commonwealth, he joined the synth-helping organization - the Railroad. His codename in the organization is Agent Whisper. After successfully infiltrating inside the Institute, Logan finally met his son, only to find out that he's the leader of the sworn enemies of the Railroad. Despite Logan was hurt by ruining his son's dreams, he destroyed the Institute with help of the Railroad and ended its threat over the Commonwealth.

Posted by: Renee Jul 24 2018, 01:34 PM

I love how he managed to escape, got rid of all his captors, and then decides he wants to have a 'peaceful' family life. That's what I call a flip-flop.

If he doesn't like the name Snake, is this what people are still calling him?

Posted by: Lopov Jul 24 2018, 01:38 PM

So far the only person which called him by his name is his personal Mr Handy but he called him as Logan because his game name is "Snake" Logan and looks like the robot calls your PC by the second name (he called Dennis Barry as Barry). Apart from that, he hasn't been asked about his name so he hasn't introduced to anyone yet. He'd probably say just Logan, though.

Having completed the MQ, I slightly updated Logan's sheet.

Posted by: SubRosa Sep 2 2018, 09:21 PM

You need LooksMenu and F4SE. It is really easy to do. Just open to the console and type in SLM Player. Click on the presets option at the bottom, and then on Save. Give it a name and you are done.

You can find it in your Fallout 4 -> Data -> F4SE -> Plugins -> F4EE -> presets folder

If you use Mod Organizer, it will save the preset in your MO Overwrite folder.

Miscellaneous: Linda is my second New Vegas character. She is not dead-is-dead, since she's got a story which I want to carry out, possibly for several years!

Theme song:

Biography/Life History: Linda comes to Nevada from whatever vault there might be in Oregon. Before getting ambushed, she had been traveling with Karen Aboucha (my first NV toon) and her brother Les Havva Hand. Les wanted to move to Vegas, because he's supposed to be an entertainer, and Vegas is theoretically the perfect place to sing & dance. Problem is, they got ambushed, and Les initially cannot be found.

Small spoiler, Les's game will be on PC someday. It'll require mods.

Being unsure of what to do, where to go (nobody knows what happened to her brother) Linda eventually gets suckered into some initial Goodsprings-area quests.

I created Lewis "Snake" Logan on the 24th of July 2018 and it's been my personal record to not create a new character in the same game for as long. But now it's time for someone new in the Commonwealth, someone not as kind as Logan.

Name: Vinnie "Slugger" Sinistra

Status: alive

Race: Caucasian-Hispanic

Gender: male

Age: 59 (+210)

SPECIAL: Starting S9 P4 E8 C8 I4 A2 L5

Place of birth: Havana, Cuba

What they did for a living before the war: crime lord

Companions: none yet

Family: died during the Great War

Love interests: none yet

Physical Appearance: https://imgur.com/DZv5dY2

Eyes: hazel

Hair: slick'n'sleazy

Build: fatty but muscular

Weapons of preference: the baseball bat, the baseball bat and the baseball bat. And guns.

Clothing: various

Habits: smoking

Start: custom start - Vinnie spent 210 years in Vault 111, but he's not the canon Sole Survivor and won't do the main quest.

Special abilities: very high damage resistance thanks to the Sub-Dermal Armor - NEMEAN Generation VIII

Life History:
Vinnie Sinistra was born in the year 2028 in Havana, Cuba, and already since his childhood, his life revolved around blood money, drugs and violence. In the beginning he would perform small-time jobs for various crime bosses, but unlike many 'gorillas' that were strong and dumb, having their Intelligence capped at 2, Vinnie wasn't dumb, having his Intelligence capped at 4, and as such, he aimed for more than being just somebody's 'hired goon'. Due to his brutality with his favorite weapon - the baseball bat - he earned himself a nickname Slugger.

Small-time jobs gave place to big-time jobs, and eventually Slugger became a right-hand man of one of the most influential crime bosses in Havana. But that wasn't enough for the ambitious Cuban. Secretly plotting against his boss, Slugger would eventually overthrow him and beat him to death with his infamous baseball bat, not that his friends & foes expected him to finish off his boss in any other way. Establishing himself as the new crime lord, Vinnie Sinistra took over the criminal underground of Havana.

Dealing with cocaine, he would expand his illegal operations to the USA, and eventually relocated there. Within years, he became one of America's most wanted criminals, causing one of American presidents to start a prosecution against South Americans - Vinnie and this long-forgotten president would occasionally flame each other via Twitter. When after years of ruling the Cocaine Empire with the iron fist, or in Vinnie's case, with the baseball bat, things have become to go askew, Vinnie would turn himself in to the FBI, and ironically went into a witness protection program, after snitching out his former accomplices.

To keep him alive and useful for possible future actions, the FBI moved Vinnie to Sanctuary Hills, the settlement on Boston's outskirts, where several other protected witnesses were being kept. Only two days after his arrival to Sanctuary Hills, the Great War began, and all residents were taken to Vault 111, to be kept safe during the war. Neither of them knew, not even FBI, that they're going to be put in a cryo-stasis as a part of an experiment.

210 years have passed and the cryo-system in the vault malfunctioned, releasing Vinnie Sinistra in the same good shape, as he was when he entered the pod in the vault. After realizing that the world he used to live in, doesn't exist anymore, a satisfied grin played on his face. New world, new opportunities.

Posted by: Lopov Jul 21 2019, 07:32 AM

@SubRosa - Vinnie's muscular, but he's also fat, and has slow reflexes, hence his slow agility. He hits hard but doesn't hit as often. I've never had a character with as low agility as he has. But he won't sneak around anyway, and for now he hasn't yet found the VATS button on the PipBoy.

@Acadian - he is indeed!

@Renee - the reddish light is a result of the cigarette light and from the lantern not visible in the pic.

I don't know yet what will he do, but he definitely won't contribute to the greater good of the Commonwealth. There actually aren't so many evil-type quests, AFAIK. In the beginning he'll definitely wander around and get used to the new world. He hasn't yet met anyone friendly, so he doesn't know that bottle caps act as a currency now, so he keeps packing the pre-war money in his pockets, thinking it'll be helpful. Well it will be, but not as much as he expects it to be.

There she is - Vicious Delicious. Another evil-doer in the world of Fallout. She looks good, did you put a lot of effort in her face? It doesn't look generic, that's what I mean. You definitely tweaked her nose, it can't be that the face generator provided a such shaped nose on its own.

Rosa: She could indeed some day have a Mohawk. Surely.

Lopov: Yes, I spent a lot o time in the creator with her, tweaking everything. I wanted her to look sly, wily, and clever.

That really is funny that he doesn't know the significance of caps. Has he been throwing them away, or not even picking them up?

Posted by: Lopov Jul 21 2019, 06:16 PM

He throws caps away without a second thought. I'm going to RP that someone he's going to come across, will tell him of the importance of bottle caps. Probably some trader.

You really did a good job with Dee's appearance. She definitely looks more clever than an ordinary raider, and sly too.

Love interests: there used to be one girl...like what? 50 years ago?

Physical Appearance: https://imgur.com/TqVfXAt

Eyes: brown

Build: way taller and stronger than average wastelander

Habits: talking to himself, listening to Enclave and CONEL-RAD radio stations, collecting various junk, stocking up on pre-war money, creating custom weapons, climbing on high places and watching wastes from above, collecting bobbleheads and pre-war magazines, smoking, drinking beer, wine and nuka-cola, listening to legends about Loviatar and seeing remains of her work in person

Weapons of preference: Hunting Rifle, Railway Rifle, Shishkebab, grenades & mines

Clothing: scavenger outfit, Chinese General Hat, huge backpack

Magic abilities or powers: the Hobo can perceive certain visions from the past and he's partly psychic - if he dreams of his own death, he knows that it's better to avoid that place.

Miscellaneous: he never carries more than one bottle cap because two or more bring bad luck and might attract unwanted attention of swans

Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz766RbceB4

Biography/Life History: the Hobo vaguely remembers his past - he was born in some vault, of that he's sure. He was special in some way, that's why other children didn't like to play with him and his own parents seemed to be afraid of him at times. Probably because he could sometimes foretell the future and some people didn't want to know what's going to happen to them.

Whether he left the vault willingly or was he exiled, he doesn't want to remember. There was some explosion, of that he's sure, and the Hobo thinks it's because of this explosion that his memory isn't what it used to be. Ever since he's been out in the wastes, he's been a wanderer without any true purpose except for wandering around. He's been all over the post-war USA and wherever he comes, animals like him and the Hobo likes them too. The Hobo doesn't like people and generally avoids settlements, though very rarely he can be seen in some settlements, exchanging junk for junk. Despite avoiding contacts, the Hobo might help wastelanders in need but he can't stand it afterwards, when they thank him.

But if you see him slowly walking down some road, don't underestimate him just because of his looks. The Hobo can be very deadly if you piss him off and he can attack with an assortment of weapons, from the simple hunting rifle which you should consider as your lucky death, or the painful railway rifle whose deadly spikes will cripple your limbs, he can toss various grenades at you, but if you're on the Hobo's black list, he'll turn on the shishkebab, called the flaming sword, and burn you down.

The Hobo is very good at doing nothing. He can spend a lot of time in a same place, and he often walks back and forth between locations he's already been to. He covers very short distances in a very long time. He doesn't like sleeping indoors, because then he can't hear birds in the morning. He doesn't like exploring at nighttime, because he wants to watch the Moon.

Good to see the Hobo back. You really did a great job in bringing him to FO4.

Posted by: SubRosa Sep 16 2019, 01:32 PM

Great to see the Haw Baw coming together for FO4.

Posted by: Renee Sep 22 2019, 04:20 PM

Habits: "talking to himself..." "... climbing on high places and watching from above...." That must be a laid-back roleplay, being with him sometimes, because the guy really does seem random. It's probably like when I play Sims 3, I often am doing two things at once.

Yeah, his theme song is definitely appropriate.

So is all of this...

Posted by: Lopov Sep 22 2019, 05:57 PM

@Acadian & SubRosa - thanks!

@Renee - it's a laid-back roleplay most of the time indeed. But if attacked, the Hobo can be dangerous, something that many raiders realize when it's already too late. Then again, he never attacks as the first, he always defends himself. I forgot to mention that when the Hobo talks to himself, most of the time he grumbles about something - about anything, he grumbles 90% of the time.

I was not sure if I'd added Vicious to this thread yet, http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=5990&view=findpost&p=317433. However, there are several things which have changed as we've gotten to know her better.

I decided to leave the original post from 2019 in this thread, just for perspective. For instance, I called her Dee Licious back then. Which makes me think of http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Dee+snyder&FORM=HDRSC2 of the '80s band Twisted Sister. Perhaps my original goal with "Dee" was to make her some sort of rock star-looking chick, and I do remember installing a porno mod (which I never used) in which we can join some sort of X-rated faction. My how things have changed.

----------------

Real name: Taneesha Jones

Game / Platform: Fallout 3 / PC

Nickname: Miss Vicious Delicious

Status: Alive

Race: Black

Gender: F

Age: 19

Religion: Christian, Church of Atom

Reputation: This is complicated since Vicious has a double life. She lives by her own code-of-honor which is partially influenced by her religious background, and partially influenced by her current morality, which is mostly good. However, she is also a raider, and addicted to certain chems. She sometimes doesn't do the right thing. With this mixture of background, personal morals, and raider membership, she usually stays quiet. Flies under the radar, trying to stay out of trouble. But she has no problem taunting or fighting those whom she feels are hurtful to others.

So, hypothetically, her reputation could be an average, quiet, do-gooding Wastelander, a troublemaker, or a vicious, shotgun-toting outlaw.

Alignment: Fallout-type games don't use these but I suppose Chaotic Neutral

SPECIAL: S4, P5, E5, C7, I7, A7, L5

Tagged skills: Small Guns and Repair.

Traits:

Place of birth: Baltimore (or what's left of it).

Home: Springvale Elementary. She also lives occasionally with Lucy West in Megaton.

What they do for a living: Raider missions / looting.

Factions: Raider

Companions: https://i.imgur.com/UiJlxq9.jpg (on right) is her best friend, and Q Tip is her boyfriend. She travels with either or both of them, though she cannot take them into 'civilized' areas such as Megaton or Big Town.

Love interests: https://i.imgur.com/PB0iqbC.jpg

Physical Appearance: https://i.imgur.com/r3xsmPV.png, https://i.imgur.com/nfX5A9G.jpg,

Eyes: Yes, two of them.

Build: slender and twenty-something

Habits: (BAD) Smoking, occasional drinking. Vicious prefers sedatives when it comes to chems. (GOOD) strolling about town, adventuring when not on missions.

Weapons of preference: shotguns and her lead pipe. She's been carrying a https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/22087 as well.

Clothing: When going into towns she can appear stylish. At night (if looting) she switches to common-looking clothes (such as Brahmin outfit) so she can blend, and sneak about comfortably. When going on raider missions, she wears a particular raider armor set, but I forget which one.

Miscellaneous: Vicious begins her game through Alternate Start - Roleplayers, which conveniently allows one to start the game as a raider.

- She is my first to go without a Pip Boy on her arm. Instead, she carries one in her pocket, a https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/16836 which has been converted to Pipgirl images.

Theme songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSrlo-kteTY, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AbjYmLIIGE ... Vicious and Delicious, see? :biggrin:

Biography/Life History: Vicious Delicious was born in mysterious circumstances somewhere in Baltimore. I believe her mother got killed and the child abandoned. She was adopted by Jehovah's Witnesses living in a temple in Ellicott City, Maryland, and named Taneesha Jones by them. She was raised throughout her teenage years by them. Witnesses are strict and religious, believing that someday, the world is coming to an end. This is the background for her early life.

When Taneesha turned 14, the Witnesses began spreading The Word in the area surrounding their temple, handing out pamphlets made from their printing press, and annoying non-believers just like modern Witnesses do. Taneesha heard about their forays, and by the age of 17 began traveling with them, mostly to see the world, which she'd been sheltered from. They eventually branched south, taking young Taneesha with them. They wound up in the Capitol Wasteland, where they heard civilized populations were greater.

At some point though, their party got attacked. All of them either dispersed or got killed. Taneesha by this point had plenty of weapons training, and at a young age she had taught herself how to pick locks. Young and fearing for her life, she was taken in by the first group (gang, really) she came across, which happened to be raiders. And the raiders appreciated Taneesha's talents for lockpicking and gunplay.

Taneesha earned the nickname Vicious Delicious at some point as she turned 18. She quickly rose in rank within the raiders for awhile, attracting the attention of Dogmaster, the Potomac raiders' top boss. But things went wrong somewhere along the way, and Vicious temporarily was ousted from their organization. She was drugged, kidnapped, and moved to a faraway location.

After fighting her way back to Megaton (including killing most of the raiders of Fairfax Ruins) Vicious again attracted the attention of Dogmaster, who adopted her back in during the summer of 2277. Now a raider once again, she's been performing missions for them.

Name: Faye

Status: alive and kicking

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Female

Age: unknown, presumably late 20s

Starting SPECIAL: S4-P5-E4-C1-I2-A9-L3

Skilled in: Picking locks, Melee, Sneak

Place of birth: unknown

Home: nowhere

What they do for a living: nothing, she merely tries to survive

Factions: none

Companions: none

Love interests: none

Physical Appearance: https://imgur.com/rimlAI6

Eyes: hazy blue

Build: slim

Habits: using all kinds of drugs

Mental status: deranged, antisocial

Weapons of preference: meat hook, simple pistols

Clothing: torn tank & shorts

Miscellaneous: Faye is one of those characters, that I know very little about. The only two facts beside her name, that were revealed to me as I spend time with her, are that she spent a lot of time in some sort of a captivity in the past and that she loathes men. The origin behind her cannibalism is unknown but she never devours women, so it has something to do with her hatred against men. Faye spends her time in the Downtown Boston, trying to survive from today to tomorrow, she doesn't have any goals. She attacks only if she thinks that she has a chance of winning, so her targets are mostly lone wanderers / scavengers / raiders - she never attacks a group of enemies or someone wearing a powerful weapon or armor. Her preferred method of attacking is sneaking up from behind and stabbing enemies with her meat hook, though she's proficient in using guns as well, if a need arises.

Posted by: Renee Feb 20 2022, 08:53 PM

Welcome Faye, here, have some squirrel on a stick. Looks like you could use a meal. Hey whoa WHOA.... what are you doing! Don't bite that man!

She's got no Charisma but a lot of Agility. Neat.

-- Yes, https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=justin+bieber&form=HDRSC2&first=1&tsc=ImageHoverTitle to make Justin Case. I also made an effort to choose Attributes and Traits which mirror the pop star. So, Small Frame (Beiber is agile for sure), lots of Charisma. Only difference is my Justin will be good at Melee Weapons.

Oh yeah, the real Justin is a prankster and also kind of annoying so I chose Loose Cannon for his other trait.

I wondered if he was inspired by Justin Bieber. You know, just in case.

OMG, its the Biebs! I was originally thinking maybe Leo DeCaprio. But he's kind of an old fogey nowadays.

Posted by: Renee Jul 31 2022, 10:58 PM

Ha it's going to be fun getting sunglasses / outfits for the Biebs.

Hey Lopov, isn't there a "soft save" point while we're in Goodsprings, still doing the tutorial? There is a point during which we can save our stats, character looks, race, and so on, but this option happens later, right?

I'm just wondering if I save this soft save, I can maybe use it to make other characters in the future. So I don't have to start all over with the doctor and all that.

Posted by: SubRosa Aug 1 2022, 12:06 AM

There is a point at the end of the tutorial that is just like in the Fallout 3 and 4, and Oblivion, where you can completely rebuild your character. Face, attributes, skills, etc... It is at the end of the little quest you go on with Sunny to clear out the geckos from the water faucets.

Oh, and does Justin have a cousin named... Justin Thyme?

Posted by: Renee Aug 1 2022, 12:57 PM

HUh, so Fallout 4 also has that convenient save point, for those who don't want to do the entire tutorial over again? That's good. So Skyrim is the only odd game. - I mean, I enjoyed it yesterday, but I plan on making other characters.

Ha ha yeah, I have considered Justin Time as a name as well. I only chose Justin Case because it comes first, alphabetically. But there are a lot of silly names which can be used in Fallout because it's more modern, yet which would be out of place in ES games.

Wow, Fallout 1. Now that is a blast from the past. I have it laying around, but have not played it in years and years.

There really is nothing special to using ranged weapons though. It is just equip the weapon in your hand, then in combat just click on who you want to shoot. If I remember correctly.

Ok, I just tried it. You have the gun selected in your hud. When combat starts, you click on the gun. A red crosshair will come up in place of your mouse cursor. Move it over what you want to shoot, and a number will show up with your percentage chance to hit. Click, and you fire.

Shooting takes action points, so you will see your AP meter decrease. But that is the same with using any weapons.

Posted by: Renee May 26 2023, 10:16 AM

Yeah, I've been curious for a while about the earliest FO games, mostly because I want to experience their stories. Watched a let's play video months ago, etc.


Anyway. Coool, great.... I am glad you responded. Someone who's played this game before, since Lopov's not around. Okay, so we click on the weapon first, in the HUD? Kay I'll try that whenever I'm gaming next. Do we have to click on the weapon for every new enemy, though?

Last night I was physically clicking the knife which Stu has in his inventory, and dragging it right over the paper doll of Stu, Morrowind style. This doesn't work! ... Which is partially why I made sure he's got Unarmed as a skill. I actually chose that skill because I anticipated I'd get stuck on this. EDIT: I get it now. Watching a LP video as I'm gaming. We don't drag items over the doll, we drag them into boxes (ITEM 1, for instance) below the paper doll.


Yeah, the AP thing is annoying. It keeps slowing down the action with "You need to get more Action Points" messages or some such. I don't really get how that works, yet.

Posted by: Acadian May 26 2023, 12:36 PM

Is Stu Pitt related to Brad? To quote the brilliant philosopher Forest Gump, "Stu Pitt is as Stu Pitt does."

Posted by: Renee May 26 2023, 05:36 PM

Ha ha ha nice!!! I hadn't thought of Brad, actually!

There is a DLC for Fallout 3 called The Pitt which takes place in Pittsburgh, so that's where part of the idea came from. Also, if you've ever watched The Simpsons, Bart would sometimes make prank calls using funny names, and I'm pretty sure Stu Pitt was one of them.

Posted by: SubRosa May 26 2023, 10:44 PM

Renee, Action Points are part of pretty much every turn based game, which the early Fallout games are. There is only so much you can do in a turn. Everything costs action points, shooting, reloading, moving, etc... Once you are out of points your turn ends. Then the next character or monster takes their turn. Etc...

Posted by: Renee May 27 2023, 12:08 AM

MM hmm I get it now. Basically, every time the PC runs out of AP there's a box we have to click (called Turn, I think) which moves the fight to whoever's turn is next.
