What does your OC carry?

Tagged by @bokatan <3 Thank you!!

I chose to do all three of my favs. I should include Levi - but honestly, that boy doesn't travel if he can help it. Which means he has a closet. A whole closet. hah

Mercy 

Clothing, accessories, etc: Mercy wears a mix of gear, recently from the Railroad thanks to Tinker Tom. Tinker Tom had some specialty stuff made for her since she’s so little (well, not in relation to Frankie and Mercy but she’s still 5’2”) from ballistic weave. It’s usually leggings and tunic or pants and top with a beanie (also ballistic weave) with boots. She also has her gun harness, backpack, belt, pouches, camping supplies...ya know...the usual. 

Weapons: One sniper rifle with long-range scope, one laser pistol (BOS issued but stripped down and adjusted for her hands...given to her by Danse but she told him not to), and one combat knife with minor tooth marks from a deathclaw. 

Miscellaneous supplies: soap, towel, acorn oil for hair, comb and brush, change of clothes, rope, medical supplies, toothpaste, and pipboy. (Note – no food, she has Deacon or Mac carry that) 

Random odds and ends: crackers, dried fruit, a nail file found under some rubble, a small sewing kit, a random book, one comic, some kind of chem given to her by Hancock in the case of needing to take Deacon someplace tall, three rocks, a vial of something given to her by Tinker Tom in case of synths, a Gen 1 eye, a Gen 2 finger – used to poke Nick, pencil, pad of paper. 

Frankie 

Clothing, accessories, etc: Well...she usually travels with the band. So it’s a couple chests of dresses, stockings, heels, fancy panties, pasties with tassels, pasties without tassels, crotch shields in case she takes off the thongs during a burlesque show, rumba panties with matching bras, petticoats for the dresses, feathers for her hair, hair oil, hair gel, shampoo, conditioner, make up, perfume, lotion, fine soaps, a few necklaces, two sets of boxer shorts for sleeping, two extra large shirts stolen from her brother for sleeping, three indecent nightgowns (sure...nightgown...sure...). When traveling with Beau – whatever she can shove in one saddlebag...which makes her sad. 

Weapons: A very large stick – gotten from a cactus in Texas. 

Miscellaneous supplies: What is this...Miscellaneous Supplies...it’s all necessary supplies, Beau. All of it. Everybody needs more than 2 pairs of holey boxers, Beau. For the love of God, get new underwear. 

Random odds and ends: See Miscellaneous Supplies also two bobble head dolls, one shell from California, an empty tequila bottle – just in case 

Sparrow 

Clothing, accessories, etc: Before Canary: One pair of pants held up by a rope and cut short enough for her, a thin old pair of panties, too-big shirt also wrapped with a rope, scarf and hat, leggings cut short and held up by a rope, old dress, two socks only slightly tattered, old sneakers. Old backpack. After Canary: one Sparrow-sized Lancer leather jacket with the BOS patches ripped off and replaced with random patches found plus one Minuteman Patch, one Sparrow-sized Lancer flight suit denuded of BOS patches and now sporting random ones, a dark gray fitted pants and shirt topped with leather (sized for her), gas mask with goggles, tactical beanie. Eventually a Sparrow-sized set of courser gear with long coat, mask with blue tactical lighting. Tactical belt. Backpack. 

Weapons: two blackened knives – sharp and designed for slicing and stabbing. Sparrow thinks guns are icky. 

Miscellaneous supplies: Pocket snacks (dried meat, dried fruit, nuts – usually packed by her papa), a second set of knives, rope, pouch of caps, little compass, stealth boys 

Random odds and ends: chalk, bits of bark, a few random rocks, a pouch of dried herbs, tea, every BOS patch pulled from her armor, a piece of paper with the words “chirp chirp,” three leaves (they blew into her bag), her old backpack shoved into her new backpack

3 for the couple asks please!

Oh fun! Thank you!

useful/fun character development questions for couples

3. By contrast, what was the moment that first made their ~heart~ Soft for the other person? Not necessarily a conscious realization of “I love this person,” but a moment that had them like “Oh…I adore them…”

I'll do it for my current OC's I've been talking about:

Mercy: That's a good question there. With Jake, it was a ton of little things that added up - a touch here, a hand held there, a hug, teasing, and then her seeing him after being injured with Deacon and just...melting into his hug and knowing she missed him so. With MacCready, it was when he went out to get dinner for her - as in, he literally hunted and cooked dinner so she wouldn't have to eat mole rat jerky again. Deacon? When he woke up after having been shot and fell from a suspended bridge, giving himself a concussion and breaking a leg. He wakes up and he's not wearing his glasses and just...looks at her...and her heart just melted. And she just knew that no matter what happened, she adored him completely.

Frankie: It was FAST. Okay? She didn't mean to fall head over heals for some beat-up ghoul she just met but when her bandmate, Fitz, brought over that bottle of tequila and almost dared her to drink a bunch? And then left...assuming Beau would take her home and "ravish her" and instead, Beau took her home and got his sister, Rhodie, to get Frankie into clean pajamas and got her tucked into his bed and went to sleep on the couch? Well hell...how could she NOT adore this gentleman of a disaster man who is both shy and not, rides a motorcycle, wears the epitome of amazing cowboy hats, has this charming half-smile, and is just so sweet?

Sparrow: With Bean, it's pretty early on. Bean is her friend friend friend who isn't adopted family. And while she's been charged with helping them settle into living on the surface, Bean has gone out of their way to help Sparrow learn to read, to write, to feel accepted, to praise her. They go stargazing together, Sparrow brings them out on picnics. They are roommates. And sometime in all that, Sparrow looks over at Bean and finds herself just melting. Just...wanting to touch their hand and pat their cheeks and kiss their nose. It probably happened when Bean licked a beetle and then grinned at them. Or when Bean brought Henry the opossum home...or maybe when they brought a kid book to their room, sat down with Sparrow, and helped her learn what an A looks like. With Darcy, it's...a little more complicated. Everything about Darcy is more complicated for Sparrow. She can't understand her attraction to him, at least her physical attraction. She can't figure out what it means and why she feels it. But she knows that he came for her when she ran. He held her when she cried. And he understands how she feels. So she told him that he's her "friend. love." And what she meant to say was that she loves him like a friend. But what she really meant to say was that she adores him, completely, and is so thankful that he came into her life.
