I've been replaying Fallout 1 lately. Here's an (unfinished) sketch of my team; Katja, Dogmeat, Ian and Tycho, led by the 'Vault Dweller' Natalia Dubrovhsky.

Taglist here.

Three OCs from various series for each of the three quizzes. 16 Main Archetype Quiz Here, Bullshit Aesthetic Quiz Here and Good Parent Quiz Here. Results below the cut:

Here's the 16 Archetypes quiz results for OCs from The UnTitledverse, The Silver Chronicles and Life, Despair & Monsters. Results below:

JOAQUIN COBALT (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

I don't think the Sidekick fits Joaquin's archetype, but he likely wishes he was. Though in his own self-perception, he's trying to compensate his accidental existence by trying to be something significant, despite the fact he doesn't believe he's much of anything than an accidental miracle.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES (FAR CRY 5, FAR CRY NEW DAWN)

Regret isn't the only thing Silva is filled with... trauma is a close second. However, ultimately I agree (mostly) with this archetype, unless I do a bit more research on Archetypes that is. But this result is pretty solid.

HAOYU ANABUKI (LIFE, DESPAIR & MONSTERS)

I think this mostly applies to Haoyu way down later at the completion of their arc, though before all that they're a selfish little twerp.

Bullshit OC Aesthetic Quiz results for OCs from An Old Ballad Of Chance And Ember Hearts, A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore and lastly The UnTitledverse.

DISCORD, THE MAD KIN OF CARNAGE (AN OLD BALLAD OF CHANCE AND EMBER HEARTS TRILOGY)

I don't think this fits Discord at all. He is literally a walking wasteland, everything around him reverts to its most basic form (which is eventually nothing). He is as close as to the embodiment of the end as possible, but as well as a abhorrent denial rebirth. He just destroys things, lets it wither away horrifically. He's more close to the dirt than he is to flesh.

ELRAND BRANDT (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE (FALLOUT (1997))

I don't think Twilight is an aesthetic for Elrand. However, due to living in a post apocalyptic world, I think it would smell a bit like old burns. I don't know just my take on it.

MARU (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

Being an Illusion Spirit, I think this aesthetic fits Maru very well. She is after all dead and does work for the Wicked, which are mostly made up of dead and evil spirits.

Lastly is the "Is Your OC a Good Parent Quiz" which dear god, I hope everyone from The Silver Chronicles gets a good result.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY 5, FAR CRY NEW DAWN])

Silva is definitely a good parent... I'd argue a great one even! Though she can be a bit overprotective but that's not abnormal considering all she's been through. She fought Paul and the Apostles of Zachariah to get back Persephone (even if that ended in tragedy), and went rogue to fight for a peace between Eden's Gate and the Resistance after given some perspective from Azriel. That's not even to mention everything she does for Azriel (and Mercy) when the Congregation of Adam's Guard arrive in Silva's Hope and the Highwaymen in Old Dusk.

PAUL YELLOWJACK (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY NEW DAWN])

In her adolescence he was. Paul was what Silva needed at the time; someone supportive, understanding, and loving. He raised her into the morally strong woman she is today. However, that's not to say his darker aspects which he develops more late in life weren't present. The thing about Paul, while raising Silva, was that he was sometimes overbearing, possessive/co-dependent and had a fear that she'd abandon him, something that worsens after he finds out she's alive (years after the Tumultite Massacre and answering "The Call" and founding the Apostles of Zachariah), and since he lost his morals over the years and had Zachariah of all entities as his guidance, he's not above breaking Silva down for her "betterment"... though he does realize he goes too far after murdering Persephone in retaliation of Silva dismantling the Apostle's operations and killing his fellow heralds. Even after his resurrection/reincarnation, he still cares for her, but is too trapped in his self-loathing to break away from his dark path.

KAMSKI NEON, THE GOOD DOCTOR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES (FAR CRY 5)]

I'd say Kamski's kind of a good parent, just an overprotective helicopter parent is all. I also believe that he's the kind of parent who'd be like "my opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong so you best listen to me". Irene, his blood daughter, likely never questioned this, but after her death and the Tumultite Massacre, when he reunites with Silva, they're basically the only family they have left, so Kamski pretty much pushes this harder onto Silva which is something they have to work through... as well as the pressure and the responsibility he burdens her with too. There's also the fact of trust, since Kamski goes behind Silva's back more often than not when they disagree on something and lies to her about it. So yeah, it's very "so-so" with me. He's good parent with good intentions however he does do some drastic shit since he thinks he knows best plus his "us vs them" attitude with him and Silva as the "us" and literally everyone else as the "them".

FATHER ADAM OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY 5])

"Bad Parent" and "Too Harsh" is an understatement when it comes to Adam; he's an absolute irredeemable evil hypocritical piece of shit who abuses and murders his children. Silva and Elsa were just the most recent pair out of who knows (me, I know) how many, and the longest surviving too. Adam's a dictator who uses his status as a Prophet to oppress others and is extremely bigoted and xenophobic to the point he doesn't bat an eye when causing a massacre of his slave labour... or when invading Montana. Fuck this guy, I can't wait to write his death.

Poster with Emil, my Vault Dweller from Fallout 1

[bellonathedragonborn]

Does anyone feel like Bethesda’s Fallout takes away the importance of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2?

Like both the Vault Dweller and Chosen One (Duke and Aria in my world) saved the world yet in Bethesda’s world what they did was literally for nothing. Since they retconned the origin of FEV and the Enclave.

Like the VD sacrificed so much to save the West yet GUESS WHAT? FEV was around in Appalachia and in Vault 87. Completely ignoring the importance of Mariposa. ( and somehow the Fallout 4 and 3 super mutants can infect people)

The CO (which is seen as the strongest Fallout protagonist) took on the fucking Enclave and Frank Horrigan only be muted out by the Enclave still surviving on the East coast.

(Sorry if this makes no sense it sounded better in my head.)

[yourmateyoya]

To bad that the vault dweller never got to meet the chosen one. I wonder what kind of grandpa he would have been? I know that the brotherhood of steel game presents him as an alcoholic badass hero,but that non canon and I don’t think that characterization doesn’t really fits him.

[dykedvonte]

I always interpret that all the main line west coast protags are related. Like the vault dweller is canonically related to the chosen one and I like to think the Courier is like the weird cousin they wouldn’t know about until they show up at a reunion and spill the entire punch bowl on themself.

[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

I headcanon a few characters to be Psykers

The Mysterious Stranger and Miss Fortune: they have the ability to show up when someone is in danger and disappear soon after

Jason Bright: It's not the radiation that makes his voice have that reverb to it he is speaking to you both physically and telepathically

Tanya Kristoff aka The AntAgonizer: She has the ability to control ants

The player character: if you take the Animal Friend perk

This one is more of a joke one but Malcolm Holmes: the guy can track you from anywhere in the Mojave and claims to have seen you pick up a star bottlecap which would make sense in an area with tons of people but not so much in places like Jean's Sky Diving

[raventrigonsdaughter]

Im addicted to Yellowjackets at the same time im going to make Fallout my entire personality because 1. Childhood favorite game and 2. Ella Purnell playing The Vault Dweller like...

Miss Purnell is for real going for "I will bring you daughter back at 9" vs "your daughter calls me daddy too" roles and im in love with both
