#fallout oc questionnaire

[zombiecakes]

Ssssecond round!

2, 3, 6, 10, 16, 18, 30, 47, 54!!!!!!

for Zirky <3

Round 2, fight!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

2. Are they a canon main character? (Lone Wander, Courier Six, etc.)

I call him “sole survivor” in tags, but no. He grew up in the Commonwealth streets scrounging for food (and eventually chems as he got older) and bouncing from shitty group to shitty group.

3. What is their SPECIAL?

Strength - 1

Perception - 10 (after finding his glasses)

Endurance - 1

Charisma - 1

Intelligence- 2

Agility - 8

Luck - 8

Strengths: sneaky, can hit fukkers thru walls, and the people who manage to get a shot off in his direction usually end up killing themselves (ricochet). Lady luck adores him 😘

Weaknesses: Dumb, ugly, and can't carry shit (like he just finished putting lead lining on his armor and he has to carry a backpack or he's already encumbered before even picking anything up 😭)

Note from me: I play FO4 in a moving vehicle, so VATS is kinda my only option. It's been really interesting making an oc who just kinda sucks at everything and relies so heavily on technology LOL

6. Were they born pre-war or post-war?

Post-war

10. What language(s) do they speak?

He only knows two languages: English and Bad English

16. What is their biggest regret

He carries a lot of anger, but not a lot of regret. Regret requires that you take responsibility for the world around you, and he doesn't do that. In his opinion, he's always reacting, never in control. He has things he wishes he had the power to change, but no regrets. Well, maybe that's a regret? Not having more power? Fixing that is certainly his life's goal.

18. Do they have any disabilities, mutations, or implants / enhancements? Do they have any chronic illnesses?

Just him glasses and its VATS connection that he continues to seek upgrades for. Zirk isn't actually very good at anything on his own, so he's always looking for outside improvements, like VATS holotapes, to gain an edge.

30. What decisions have they made or actions have they done that affect their canon wasteland? (Did they blow up Megaton, have they killed/spared any major characters, etc.)

Besides being Raider boss? Let's seee….

Encouraged Covenant to keep doing its thing (he's VERY paranoid about synths and totally drank the lemonaid)

Parties with Mama Murphy

Realized he was losing raider loyalty to hunger and joined forces with Jake (sim settlements… Poor jake tho guys… 😔 Zirk is so mean to him…)

Gunner war (also sim settlements)!! 😤

I can't think of anything else rn LOL. I wish there were more ways to pursue the main plotline with just raiders but whatevs

47. Do they enjoy reading?

Not really. It's something he had to learn after he found the Pip Boy a few years ago, and it's still really difficult for him.

54. Do they prefer showers or baths?

Neither. Not unless they involve a vault-heated shower head and the company of a certain scrumptious mohawked raider 😊

8: Do they have any medical conditions? Is medicine/ treatment available for them?

[nitrozem]

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire

Thanks for the tag @natolesims ! I love doing these.

Think I'll do my werewolf boi, Ajay this time (I did Miguel for the last one)

1. What uncommon/common fear do they have?

The dude acts fearless but he has one fear and it's stink bugs. Why? Well werewolf pups like practicing their hunting on small insects and stuff that cross their path and young Ajay decided to pounce on a stink bug and had a very bad time lol

bonus pic of smol pup Ajay

2. Do they have any pet peeves?

He doesn't like it when people move his stuff around. He's not organized but it works for him cause he has his weird disorganized places he keeps his things.

3. What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

his werewolf toy, this crystal light shaped like a moon that Sid made for him, something random he may have dug up during a rampage and forgot about (usually shoes, rocks and trash)

4. What do they notice first in a person?

Their smell, werewolf super smell and all. He can figure out if a person is an occult by the smell.

5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

A 10, he's been in so many werewolf brawls, and running through the forest, it takes a lot to actually get him to be very bothered by pain and he heals quickly. He wears his scars like badges of honor lol

6. Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

Fight fight fight! He likes fighting and hates to appear like a wimp.

7. Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

No, he was an only child, had a mom and dad and that's it. He has a big family now though. (4 children, his husband, and his father who is still kicking) I would say he is a family person, he loves all his kids and is protective over them and his husband.

bonus family photo :)

and grandpa (ajay's father, Ravi) cause we love him and his terrible dad jokes

8. What animal represents them best?

Well...a wolf

9. What is a smell that they dislike?

Vampires have a necrotic undead smell he hates like most werewolves. He also hates coming across somewhere that was "marked" by another werewolf and gets territorial.

10. Have they broken any bones?

Nope

11. How would a stranger likely describe them?

Depends. If he's dressed nicely and calm, people see he's sure of himself or confident. When he's high fury/wearing his torn or rocker clothes, he still has that confident vibe but in a more intimidating way.

12. Are they a night owl or a morning bird?

Night Owl because werewolves are nocturnal, he'll be up in the morning anyway because he doesn't sleep much.

13. What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

He hates all artificial fruit candy, as for a flavor he loves, a steak, seasoned right (and very very rare)

14. Do they have any hobbies?

Yes, he likes to knit and paint mostly. He likes to read and likes tor forage/hunt for crystals or mushrooms that Sid might need

15. Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises?

I'd say he's pretty stoked

16. Do they like to wear jewelry?

Yeah, his moon necklace his mother gave him and other bracelets Sid makes him

17. Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

It's actually very neat!

18. What are two emotions they feel the most?

Energetic and confident

19. Do they have a favorite fabric?

really soft fleece, he'll fall asleep real quick in a pile of fleece sweaters lol

20. What kind of accent do they have?

subtle indian accent (mother had an indian accent, father has a southern usa accent so it's a mix of that)

The closest voice claim I have for him is Dr. Carrington from Fallout 4 I like imagining that he sounds very eloquent and chill (well at least until his fury gets high enough, then he's just loud, rough sounding and growly)

If you just want to talk about yours OC's just do this and say I tagged you or w/e, use all excuses to talk about your OC's and stories 👍🏼

(that and I'm not very active on here atm due to not wanting to play sims, social media detox and attempts at better habits in life.)

WIP folder game

Got tagged by @vaguely-concerned! Thanks for the tag, tho it threw me a bit of a conundrum - i don't have that much wips in general (it's either getting finished as a sketch or forgotten for like forever... ah the wonders of adhd) but it was still interesting to go through my files to see what i got pending :D

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

So, my current WIP docs are...

party faces - a few headshots of the crew that Liu (mushroom lady) hangs out with occasionally. both designs and story are very in progress but so far i know that they are some kind of freelance couriers, ride a possessed van and get into zany adventures

one more redraw - some of my older followers might remember that i used to do annual redraws/redesigns of one very old character all the way back from 2011. i kinda dropped it a couple of years back but found it again while lookin through old stuff with my frindds.. so this is my attempt to do it again that i didn't have energy to finish before the new year

map westwern continent - ah, the piece that's been a wip for almost 4 years now - it's, as the name implies, a map of a continent for my primary fantasy project (i post occasional snippets of it in #spheresetting tag). it went through quite a lot of revision and still bears scars from my pixel brush obsession era ahah

tillamy in the rain - a sketch of girls kissing in the rain. normally i would think of it as finished but my friends convinced me it could be turned into fake screenshot of sorts so i'm keeping it as a wip for now

raiders hcs - and now for the text files! a humble start of the worldbuilding post i really want to finish one day - mostly about my thoughts on fallout 3's raiders and how to make them less of a mobs for grinding and more of a part of the world (i have a lot of thoughts)

ino: - the doc for the ask game i started right before my previous fallout phase fizzled out, mostly containing promts from @vaguely-concerned... i swear i did not forget about it :.D

The Fallout OC Seven Day S.P.E.C.I.A.L. - another fallout questionnaire i had to put on pause thanks to my lovely habit of biting more than i can chew. i got stuck on Charisma questions for Ino for some reason.. tho maybe i'll manage to finish it this time, who knows ahah

as for tagging, my lovely friends @mageofpanic, @vio-lenceee and @theouroborosart (no pressure!) and anyone who wants to participate in general!

[ihaveaskeleton]

Does anyone have any Fallout 4 OC questionnaires to share and/or questions about Avery Pendrich and/or her nieces Edith Murdoc and Edna McCoy (neé Murdoc)? I am in the mood to dive back into their story.

Avery Pendrich was a low-ranking Vault-Tec employee at Vault 111. As a child she was determined to become an actress and dreamed of playing the Mistress of Mysteries on the silverscreen. Looming concerns about the war lead her to focus on a more practical career path that would benefit society. In 2073 she was accepted into VTU and the Pendrichs moved to Appalachia. Thanks to her sister Charlie's artistic talent she was able to secure her a place in Vault 76, and she was sent to Vault 111 to work as a janitor and mechanic.

Quiet and reclusive, she often was perceived to disappear for days. This and her superficial resemblance to his lover lead her to be an ideal victim for Douglas Thompson, a member of the vault's staff who had struck an affair with Nora Franklin, the unhappy wife and mother of Nate and Shaun Franklin. He sedated her and swapped her for Nora, who he intended to run away with. Both Douglas and Nora died during the mutiny.

After thawing out and seeing the blood on Vault 111's hands, Avery determined to find Nate Franklin's kidnapped son and ensure he was taken care of to atone for her part in the tragedy that had taken place. Suspecting that a grieving mother would find more help searching for a missing child than an ethically dubious Vault-Tec employee, Avery adopted the persona of Nora Franklin.

She recognized Deacon multiple times while traveling the Commonwealth and suspected that he was related to Shaun's abduction. Things were cleared up after she stumbled across the Railroad's HQ while fleeing from raiders.

Thinking she had discovered a forgotten piece of history that had been uncovered by the bombs she used the sounds of the dial's mechanism to crack the lock. To her disappointment all she discovered was a secret, underground society dedicated to liberating obscure, pre-War musical instruments from Canada.

Though not invested in their mission, she decided she needed allies better acquainted with the new world than she was. And so began Deacon and the Postman, the most worrying team-up the Railroad had ever seen.

OC QUESTIONNAIRE TAG

Tagged by @vinniehorrible thank you <3 i always forget my poor OCs

My questions;

1. Who'd be the best companion for a long journey?

Eric (oc, grump with trauma): "I'll tell you who wouldn't be the best; Jesse. Can you imagine making a trip with a lunatic who doesn't shut up and will probably even burst into singing? He'd probably pack a bag full of snacks too. Mother hen."

Jesse (oc, absolute sunshine): "Eric! He's a great listener :D"

2. Do you prefer to stay in nature or in the middle of a busy city?

Kodi (Fallout oc, luck 10): "City. There's not much nature left out there that doesn't try to kill you. Not that the people in New Vegas don't try to kill you either, but at least they ain't Deathclaws..."

Sid (rdr2, outlaw, scared of the dark): "Nothin. I ain't afraid of nothin." [twig cracks, Sid pales, proceeds to pack camp]

3. What is your greatest fear?

Questions for your OCs:

1. What would you consider to be the worst day of your life?

2. Are there any relatives you can come visit?

3. Is there a place you go to often or would like to see again?

No pressure tags; @jedi-bluebird @cawsceries @malcolm-reeds-pineapple and anyone else who'd like to join <3

[what-inthe-goddamn]

35, 42, and 47 for the ask game? With your courier

Thank you so much for the ask anon!

Fallout OC Questionnaire

35. Their most prized possession?

Six has a journal with entries that date up to more than a decade before the game's starting event in Goodsprings. She's used it as a way to remember some of the things she had forgotten (The bullet Benny shot into her head inflicted some damage and trauma on her brain, fragmenting her memories from before that night.) Despite what was found in there, her name is one of the things not mentioned, and her name had also been ripped off the makeshift label on the outside, so it's still a mystery to her. She continues to write in it after Goodsprings, replacing the missing name with her new one.

42. What’s their favorite location?

Jacobstown on Mt. Charleston. The scenery reminds her of a home from long ago, and the lodge there is a place she likes to visit a lot. She checks in on Lily, gathers plants for Arcade's research, hikes the mountain trails with Boone, and hangs out at the lodge with Cass and Raul. During the colder months some snow comes in, and Veronica insists on having a half-melted snowball fight with her every winter.

47. What’s their favorite radio station and song? (post-apocalypse)

Mr. New Vegas is the station she always has set on her pipboy. There's something in his voice that she loves, and will suffer a million replays of Johnny Guitar on that station just to catch her favorite song: Love Me As Though There Were No Tomorrow by Nat King Cole. She tears up every time she hears it play, but she won't admit it.

[nukavolkov]

From the Fallout OC Questionnaire ~ I've just met em so I gotta know: 4. Give us a summary of their backstory. and 19. What natural alignment are they? (ex. Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil) For both your beans, please!

Oooh this will be a long one! I am still working on refining Beau so this won't be entirely set in stone for her.

Donovan would be considered Chaotic Neutral I'd say and as for his backstory. Im going to sum it up as best I can but theres a lot lol:

Donnie was born in Vault 101 and is younger than the cannon player character. His life wasn't amazing in there. A bit neglected by his parents who treated his younger sister like an absolute perfect blessing. He was a big scapegoat for almost everyone there. Getting the blame for so many things. It was east with how quite and awkward he was. He never really fought back. There were people who were on his side but the ones who weren't felt louder to him. He had particular disdain for Butch and the cannon PC. James and kid left the vault when Donovan was 15 and in the chaos he snuck out behind them. Looking for a better life than the one he had.

Immidiate regret on that. He found the Wasteland terrifying, hostile and cruel but he managed to make a few friends in Megaton and beyond. One being Moira as they worked on the Wasteland Survival Guide. Things were hard at first. He was afraid of everything, not very strong, lost a couple fingers and struggled a lot. But as time went on, he got stronger, taller and harder to kill abd developed a wild amount of skill with almost any gun he got his hands on. He was still afraid but he had more control. He also made some mistakes. And the cannon PC also got into some absolute bullshit that he pinned on Donovan. Being blamed for both their wrong doings earned him a real bad reputation in the Capital Wasteland. While he wasnt the most moral person around he wasnt full on evil either. He does genuinely care about people. But being labeled brutal, a monster, vicious. Every word they could come up with left him feeling bitter and as hostile to them as they were to him. His general demeanor, general expression and awkwardness didn't help at all. Just made it worse really. He's hard to read and comes across as rude without meaning to.

So he left the Capital Wastes at 34 with his reputation in unsalvageable shambles and made for the Commonwealth after Maccready (one of his few friends). He met Beau in Nuka World on his way there. Helped her clear out the Raiders then followed her to Sanctuary and eventually Diamond City where he settled nearby, got back to mercenary work and earned a far better reputation with friends to boot.

Now as for Beau. I'd consider her to be Neutral Good I think. As for her story. It's still a WIP but here's what I have so far:

Beau was and is a robotics and power armour enthusiast. Even before the war. She always loves tinkering, building and just making the coolest stuff she could. When she met Nate she was happy to settle down though she was plotting out where she could fit a workshop in their home and saving up to get her own Power Armour frame. She was happy to have Shaun and nestle in in Sanctuary until the bombs.

She hadn't trusted the Vault Tec lads from the beginning but didn't see much of a choice. When she woke to a dead husband and missing baby after being frozen, she didn't know what to do. She was scared, alone and confused. But after a couple aimless days she found her resolve. She moved out, helped Preston and reformed the Minute Men. Vowing to wear a suit of power armour with pride and protect everyone she could. Making the Commonwealth safe for her baby when she found him.

This is all I have so far but I'll give her more as time goes on 👍

[wishing4nuclearwinter]

1, 4 and 9 for cherry!

[Fallout OC Questionnaire]

1. Which Fallout game are they from?

Fallout 4!

4. Give us a summary of their backstory.

So Cherry is an experimental synth that was made as part of the Daisy Experiments like El was. Specifically, she is part of the C series (she is C-04), which were created to work in squads and have an internal network they share that allows them to not only speak to each other from any distance, but to also transmit sensory information such as what they see and hear.

Cherry was one of the best in her squad but also a bit of a troublemaker. After El was created she started sneaking into their room at night and activating them (El was still in testing/development phase). She managed to reverse engineer her own internal communications in order to add El to her network, though they can only speak through it since El doesn't have the compatible C series hardware.

With that, she helped both Babs and El escape from the Institute, then defected and escaped herself with some of her squad not long after. Now as a free woman she does a lot of mercenary work and is still close with El and Babs

9. How much do they care about their outer appearance? What’s their “beauty routine”? How often do they shower/ bathe?

She cares quite a lot. Her wardrobe varies wildly between heavily masc and heavily femme looks, but she always looks well put together. She doesn't have much of a beauty routine since her self healing abilities keep her skin looking near flawless, but she does make sure to get plenty of sleep to prevent eyebags and takes pretty good care of her hair. She'll shower/bathe every day if she's in a settlement with abundant clean water, otherwise she does it whenever she gets the chance.

[nuka-bolt]

2, 3, 10, 14, 19, 26, 42, and 51 👀

Thank you Billie!! 🧡 sorry this took so long to answer

Fallout OC Questionnaire

2) Which faction(s) did they join and which did they destroy? Why?

Alicia joined the Minutemen and the Institute. For the first part of her journey she planned to destroy the Institute for taking Shaun. Upon learning Shaun is Father she sided with them, including their plan to make a ‘replacement’ of her to infiltrate the Railroad.

Evie has quite a journey. She started off as Institute supportive until she started doubting her ‘non-humanity’. Once she helped on her first package run (H2-22 in Boston After Dark) she went rogue. She wears Alicia’s identity as a mask whilst working with the Minutemen and sided with the Railroad.

Ultimately they both side with the Railroad and the Minutemen to destroy the Institute. I’m unsure what’ll happen to the Brotherhood but needless to say they aren’t on the same side.

3) What is their S.P.E.C.I.A.L.?

All of Evie’s stats are higher than Alicia because she’s had more experience in the wasteland (the equivalent of levelling up). I think Alicia would have a higher intelligence after her time in the Institute and Evie would have a higher Charisma from both Deacon teaching her how to read people better and just being a recognised face in the Commonwealth. So...

Alicia - S3, P4, E3, C8, I6, A3, L5

Evie - S4, P8, E6, C8, I5, A8, L7

10) What do they fear the most?

They are both scared of failure. To be a disappointment. Alicia is scared of being a disappointment to Nate, to Shaun, to Preston and the Minutemen. Evie has the ironic bonus of being terrified of betrayal. She’s scared of what her betrayal will do to her friends in the Railroad and she doesn’t want the same happening to her.

14) What’s their zodiac sign or which one do you think they relate to the most? What are their placements (if you know them)? (ex. Aries sun, Taurus moon, Aquarius Venus)

Alicia is a Capricorn (January 12th)

Evie is a Taurus (May 12th)

19) What natural alignment are they? (ex. Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil)

Evie I’d say is somewhere between neutral good and chaotic neutral, but mostly chaotic good. She tries her best to help everyone with the resources that the Minutemen and Railroad provide to her and is quite self sacrificing when she needs to be.

Alicia is neutral good whilst with the Minutemen and True Neutral whilst with the Institute. She does keep the morals she has from the Minutemen but buries them deep to help Shaun.

26) How do they come off to others? What first impression do they usually make?

In both cases it’d depend on how you meet them.

As a ally you’d see kind eyes and a warm smile.

As an enemy you’d see from determination. They have people to protect and damn them if they won’t try their best.

Alicia gives off warmth whilst topside. She is a friendly face as long as you don’t try to hurt anyone she loves. She comes off as a little gullible at first. In the Institute she’s a little closed off. Duller eyes and less smiles.

Evie has a slight guard to her eyes. It’s subtle, easily explained by wasteland experience, though around people she trusts that edge just melts.

42) Their opinions on ghouls, feral and not feral?

Alicia was terrified of ferals when she first got out. She had no clue what they were so panicked and thought they were zombies. To be honest she was terrified with everything except Radstags and Brahmin after leaving the vault.

Evie is scared of ferals in the sense that they’re a potential threat. That said, Evie’s first experience with ferals after joining the Railroad was that random encounter with the SoSu’s old neighbours and that gave her quite a breakdown and identity crisis.

Neither of them have a negative opinion of ghouls. Both want to stop the discrimination against them because, to them, they’re just people.

51) Anything they like to collect? (ex. Unique weapons, Bobbleheads)

Both of them collect ‘Quest Items’. There’s a safe in the Sanctuary house filled with things like Kellogg’s gun, MacCready’s soldier, and Deacon’s recall code. They both also collect bobbleheads and comics.

Fallout OC Questionnaire: 5, 11, 17, 25, and 36

[fallout oc questionnaire]

5. What’s their full name and does it have a meaning? Do they have any nicknames and how did they get em?

Her full name is Nora Ozetta Navarre.

She has a ton of nicknames, explained at length in this post here.

11. Their biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?

I'd say her biggest flaw is doubt. She doubts herself, and she has a hard time trusting others, even if they've done nothing to earn her distrust. She's perpetually chasing a perfect golden ending that simply doesn't exist outside of having the benefit of foresight.

17. Which Pokemon Go team would they choose? (ex. Instinct, Valor, Mystic)

Would you believe I've actually never played Pokémon Go? I know it seems out of character for me. I think Nora would be Team Valor.

25. Are they a leader or a follower?

Nora hates being a leader, but she winds up being cast in that role a lot. She doesn't like the spotlight, or the weight of responsibility. So she's often a leader because someone needs to step up, and if no one else will then she will.

36. Their thoughts on power armor?

She really doesn't like power armor. It's cramped, loud, smelly, difficult to maintain, and she feels like she's tied down while wearing it. Unfortunately for her, she has to wear it for a long trek through the Glowing Sea. It's not a fun time for her.

[casualcatastrophesincorporated]

The big fallout oc questionnaire

( im skipping q3 about special cause i keep changing the numbers around as my ocs develop) 

Q4: Give us a summary of their backstory.

the kids story starts in the grave. His meeting with Benny gave him complete memory loss. The kids body remembers though, and the kid assumes he must have been one violent individual given that his arms rememberd how to shoot the wings off a bloatfly months before they remembered how to write.

Daisy grew up in NCR farmland, where her parents worked there hardest to support her and her many siblings. due to how tight resources were, when the ncr recruiters came around and her childhood sweetheart got the patriotic idea to enlist Daisy thought it would be a good way to give her family one less mouth to feed while earning a good paycheck. unfortunately for her she got barely any training before being thrust into the front lines of the first battle of hoover dam. she lost her entire squad that day, including her sweetheart. She found a ring in his jacket pocket when she went to collect his dog tags. 

Gary was a sheltered child, growing up under the shadow of his fathers position at the crimson caravan center. Most everyone feared his father and as such tried there best to just leave Gary alone. Because of this Gary occupied his time reading books on business and trade deals. Honestly his life was very easy up until his father felt he was underachieving and pushed him out into the wastes with Daisy as a way to “force him to grow up”.

[softlyapocalytpic]

For Mae, passionately: What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? What character alignment would you consider your OC to be? What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

Questionnaire

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

I kinda answered this in a post I just made, but Mae was originally conceived to be in short: a fucking mess. She still has all of mental illnesses and disability and what have you from when I first made her, but the ways those present has changed a lot. By the time she's being unfrozen in Vault 111 she's been through a lot already, and has a lot more experience of weariness making her more capable for what the wasteland has to throw at her. When I first made her she was thirty years old and still had stars in her eyes when the bombs dropped. Now that more obviously neurotic and starry-eyed Mae exists in the beginning of PAM Initiative. While beat down by the world she hasn't given up on it yet.

The Mae of 2287 gave up and had to find her reasons to live again, and she's not letting the world take one more fucking thing from her. So... she's a lot angrier, a lot more capable, and a lot more determine then when I first made her.

What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

God alignment is such a weird morality scale; pre-war she's definitely on the good scale and would've teetered around it. She doesn't follow the way because she thinks its right or because she actually wants to, but because now that she is a mother she won't put her family in danger of harm. The government will hurt her family if she doesn't comply, but she'll break the law if she has the opportunity and motive to. She already has as a young adult and was arrested for it. However her moral code is extremely strong and she KNOWS what she believes is right and wrong, but is constantly forced into breaking her own principles. So where does that leave her?

I think in "practice" she's technically Neutral Good, but in reality she's just a Chaotic Good whose being constrained by society. Once she gets into the wasteland I think that's especially true as her morals get loser by comparison, but thats mostly because the rules of game have changed- not because her morals did.

What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

If Mae stayed with General Atomics she and her family would've died in the war radically changing the entire world of my series. The events of Fallout NV and Fallout 4 in my canon would change to such a degree to be different stories altogether I'd say. As for her life? Well, it would've been happier up until the bombs dropped. Harder because she'd have less money to survive in a crumbling capitalist society with a fucked economy, but happier because she'd be able to spend her last ten years forging close connections with her family. She would've quietly revolutionized the robotics industry from behind a desk while her creations got credit taken away from her and given to someone else. She would've been angry, but kept her mouth shut and indulged in her passion works. She'd spend less time worrying and more time working on herself and her family. Maybe she would've eventually quit and started up her own small robotics company with a few colleagues from CIT. A simpler life.

If she'd still gone to work on Project Oracle but hadn't [REDACTED] she'd be much closer to the neurotic mess I'd first imagined, but weathered from her years of working with the DIA. I think it'd change how she treats the world she arrives in, but it wouldn't radically change her life- just the way she moves through it.

[nux-morbid-art]

fallout oc questionnaire

in case anyone wanted a metric assload of info abt max mostly doing this for my benefit

Which Fallout game are they from? fallout 4

Which faction(s) did they join and which did they destroy? Why? Max initially joins the brotherhood and becomes a dedicated railroad heavy post blind betrayal. He cant stomach the thought of destroying the brotherhood, bc of the squires on board and a fair amount of allies within their ranks.

This one is about my Fallout 4 OC Ophelia Valentine! + Thank you!

Ophelia loves the colors orange, yellow, and a little bit of blue. Her favorite animal is a cat; she adores them and has two of her own.

25. What is their biggest flaw?

can I get uhhh 2, 9, 26 and 42 for Red?

of course!! 💖 sorry i got this ask and then immediately fell asleep 

2. Which faction(s) did they join and which did they destroy? Why?

Red sided with the NCR, but it wasn’t really out of a desire to see them “save the wasteland” or because the believed the NCR was noble, it was literally just because Red wanted to see the Legion burn to the ground, and they believed that the NCR was the best option to do so. this ended up backfiring terribly, and the NCR was the reason Red had to leave the Mojave behind altogether. 

9. How much do they care about their outer appearance? What’s their “beauty routine”? How often do they shower/ bathe?

Red is one of those people who likes to rely on their attractiveness and “looking cool”, so a certain level of care has to go into it. I think they bathe as often as they can, but in the Mojave Desert, water is obviously in short supply. I don’t think they have much of a beauty routine other than making sure they arent covered in dirt or blood, though.

The reason Red wears sunglasses and used their hair to cover the left side of their face is because they’re trying to hide the bullet wound and their blind left eye, because they’re really insecure about it. Only like... a handful of people have seen them without sunglasses long enough to really get a good look at their left eye. 

26. How do they come off to others? What first impression do they usually make?

first impression is probably “TALL” because Red is 6′4. More than a few times, first impressions have probably been watching Red whack their head on a doorframe. 

Red is genuinely pretty friendly to strangers, but there’s always the feeling that they don’t really mean what they say. Charming and handsome, but people get the feeling that it’s kind of a façade. Not a lot of people get to see the real Red. 

42. What’s their favorite location?

the Goodsprings cemetery! That little overlook facing towards New Vegas is the only place Red feels like they can really clear their head. Of course, the rest of Goodsprings has a special place in Red’s heart and it’s home to them. 

thank you so much! （＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ💞
