Some thoughts for Cooper's New Vegas AU:
Companion for the Courier, recruitable in the bar at Boulder City. He says he's enjoying a drink at a historical city, but he clearly has some ulterior motives.
Recruiting him takes a down payment, or a very high persuasion check.
Anti-Legion. EXTREMELY Anti-House. Will tolerate NCR, but will push for an independent New Vegas.
Will leave the Courier if they side House, but it is possible to pay him off if you have his loyalty.
Will take care of Rex when neither are with the Courier.
Provides a lot of information about House and the old world, if the Courier has his loyalty. Without his loyalty, most of his answers are either long-winded metaphors or total bullshit.
Companion perk: Old School Cowboy. When entering VATS, there is a 10% chance Cooper will instantly execute your target in a bloody mess.
FACTIONS PRO: powder gangers, Followers of the Apocalypse, Jacobstown, Utobitha, Kings.
FACTIONS ANTI: White Glove Society, Omertas, Chairmen, Boomers, Enclave Remnants, Caesar's Legion, House.
FACTIONS NEUTRAL: NCR, Great Khans, Crimson Caravan, Gun Runners, Van Graffs.

My annoyance at Mys.tra referring to the creation of the Seven as a "misstep" aside, it is interesting that she identifies their kinship as the problem. She specifies that her new Chosen should be different from the Seven and each other. I think paranoia is definitely a factor in her reasoning. Cyric killing her in her own home and then spending over a century shattered rattled her to say the least. We know she starts keeping all sorts of secrets from her Chosen after she's reborn, and she commands them to keep all sorts of secrets from each other. We also know El, Storm, and Lael think their goddess is misguided in these changes and are trying to council her away from them. Good luck; paranoia's tough in mortals, let alone gods.
But, we also know Mys.tra took precautions with her daughters centuries before this. On some level, she's always feared their power. She took steps to split them up as children and ensure conflict with their foster families. She's continued to take precautions throughout their long lives to curb them. She doesn't want anyone to use them as weapons, and she doesn't want they themselves to overreach.
Arguably the number one way she's restrained them — and this is her primary tactic with all her Chosen and anyone else worth her notice — is through their relationships. Their bonds to their homes, their friends, their loves and children, each other. The previous generation of Chosen, at least the ones that stood the test of time, were all extremely close to each other. They had bonds of family, mentorship, romance, friendship — these complex literally ancient dynamics built on experiences no one else shares or understands.
Mys.tra encouraged and sanctioned these relationships. They were a source of strength and comfort for the Chosen. One of the great hurdles Mys.tra faced re: Chosen was finding people who could stand the test of time. It is an astronomical burden. The previous' batch's bonds with one another have kept them alive through it all. And, that's probably exactly what scares her now. They are incredibly powerful, capable people on their own. United? They could make the heavens heel. The Seven and El in particular know so much about her, about Azuth, about the workings of the damn universe — and they have been operating with little to no oversight for over a thousand years collectively. If I was in her position, nursing that understandable paranoia, knowing that no precautions will ever be enough to save me . . . yeah the Seven and their kinship would start to scare me, too.

a lot about ada's character in resident evil 6 flies over people's heads but i'm always thinking about ada's line as she's about to provide sniper fire & help jake & sherry, "i suppose i should return the kindness their parents showed to me." a lesser pettier woman might've indulged in letting the children of two people who've separately put her through hell suffer as recompense. while i won't say she goes out of her way to offer aid given the only danger she puts herself in throughout the whole exchange is zipping around to whisk sherry to safety & the only reason the ubivsto is chasing after jake & sherry is because ada failed to kill it previously, it does speak to ada's rather wrapped moral fiber, something always shown & never told
