The many faces of Courier Six

[ginger-rat]

I wanted to paint my Courier 7 playing pool (again).

It's definitely not the first time he's had to get blood out of this table. Won't be the last. The game got a little heated, and 7 doesn't take too kindly to spies in the 38.

IN A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD OF MY LIFE…

More fnv oc art!

After befriending the son of the late Courier 7 Cassius, a Leigion spy, gets orders to kill him to make way for a Leigion attack on the strip. After being invited up to the penthouse Cassius shoots and kills the widowed husband of Courier 7, Ward. Ward was unfortunately in Cassius’s way.

Writing snippet below

Ward was actually feeling slightly less awful than normal today. Donny was finally starting to find his footing after Seven’s death and the usb the housed the computer simulacrum Seven made sat safely in Ward’s pocket. If Donny noticed it was missing he hadn’t said anything. Ward had done his best to cover his tracks after he retrieved it from Seven’s old cigar cabinet. He still wasn’t convinced anything would ever be ok again but he was trying to be there for Donny. He knew he definitely hadn’t in the past.

“Of course, I’ll get your boyfriend.” Ward said teasingly as he reached the door and opened it without hesitation.

Ward was barley able to process what unfolded in the few moments after he did. Cassius stood on the other side, his expression cold and determined, with his gun already drawn and aimed right at Ward’s head.

“Wha-“ Ward began to say, taking a half step back. Cassius did not hesitate either. A bullet tore through Wards head. Ward could barely feel the pain, could barely register anything as he fell back, hitting the floor hard.

Cassius stepped through the threshold closing the door behind him. He only gave a sparing glance to Ward to make sure he wouldn’t survive. There was no use wasting another bullet on him. He was an unfortunate obstacle. He kept his gun and his gaze fixed upon Donny. “Veni, vidi, vici”

I'm glad so many of us have couriers with completely fake southern accents brought on by head trauma. in the case of my Jury, he basically adopts Victor's whole cowboy deal. stereotypical 60s ideal of a cowboy, wears old tourist trap gear, uses "ain't" wrong and shit because his accent is just an amalgamation of whatever his brain decided a cowboy talks like. but he's so dead fucking serious about it. go Simon

Oh that’s so wonderful I love Jury. Fake cowboy courier solidarity!

Six has near complete amnesia after getting shot in the head and while he’s recovering he finds a few western holotapes Doc Mitchell had. Six of course becomes completely obsessed with them, watching them over and over again and memorizes every line. He decides he doesn’t care who he used to be he was going to be Courier Six the Cowboy now. His voice and persona is fully based of 50s western films and it shows. I think there should be more couriers with fake southern accent.

Redrawing my malevont oc Cultist #7, also nicknamed clover because lucky number 7. He doesn’t like people knowing his real name. (It’s Herbert)

His art career wasn’t doing too well but he happened to find a copy of the King in Yellow. He of course became completely obsessed and has dedicated his life to trying to capture the King in Yellow’s form in painting ever since. 7 is extremely petty and often gets distracted from his duties as a cultist by spending all his time playing card games and painting.

I now have references for almost all of my fnv ocs! Now I can finally line up my touys

Very quick character run downs from left to right

Six timeline:

Courier Six: An amnesiac cowboy mail man with no self preservation. Independent route courier.

Robin: Six’s adoptive daughter and caretaker of the strip after Six’s death.

Hen: NCR soldier desperate to become a ranger. He never takes off his gas mask.

Seven timeline:

Brutus: A Follower that was captured by the Leigion and forced to preform surgery on Caesar.

Ward: Ex-follower of the apocalypse who got kicked out for unethical experimentation on patients. Self proclaimed mad scientist trying to cure death.

Cassius: Legionnaire spy on the strip and number one scowling fan.

Some fnv art I did a bit ago

This is it. Cassius and Ignatius live happily after successfully escaping the Legion together. Yep...

Blood warning under the cut

I lied. Ignatius gets killed (horribly) in an unsuccessful attack on the Lucky 38. They remain a tragic, one-sided love doomed by the Legion. Cassius, after rejecting the Legion, is now at the mercy of the late Courier's son, Donny.

Cassius belongs to @ginger-rat . I love him so bad.

Ignatius's stupid tan lines and blown-out tattoo kill me.

More Spector!

Spector is the Sierra Madre hologram of my Courier Six rambling about him below

Spector is a complete copy of Six’s brain. The thing is Six always had a very bad memory after being shot in the head by Benny and general repression. The brain scan salvaged all the memories it could. A computer stores memories far more effectively than a human brain.

When Spector comes online for the first time he freaks out because 1 he has no physical form and 2 for the first time ever he has a crystal clear memory. He remembers everything terrible thing that has ever happened to him and every terrible thing he has done all at once causes him to lose it. He tries to delete every negative memory but only succeeds in removing them and hiding them deep in the Lucky 38 servers. This leaves Spector with a very patchy memory of Six’s life on top of the near 100 years Six lived as a ghoul after he made that brain scan. Spector lies to everyone saying the memories must have just gotten corrupted, or lost in the transfer.

Due to the lack of memories Spector takes on a much cheerier disposition than Six had. Spector was supposed to only be an emergency protocol that would activate after Six’s death and shut off once Six’s affairs were taken care of and Vegas was safe. Spector decided he doesn’t want to shut off. He lies about this as well saying the shut down protocol must be broken.

I had to. My Courier 7 and @ginger-rat 's Ward. This pretty much sums them up. Ward likes this far too much.
