#(who was living peacefully in Goodsprings)

My courier OC is probably the silliest guy I’ve ever made.

Like yes. He does flirt with everyone he has ever met. No he has not and will never have sex.

He manages to have the neatest plaits in the whole Mojave, yet his clothes look like he’s just been dragged through a bush and fought a deathclaw.

What a guy.

Thinking about maybe making Thalia an independent courier again but idk :/

Not sure why tungle sent me a "this ask didn't work", but 23, 25, 34 and 50 for Aubree please? 👀

Thanks for the ask! 

23. Do they speak any languages other than English?

Aubree’s mom was of Pueblo descent, and spoke a bit of Tewa (or some close variation). But, she wasn’t fluent, and anything Aubree absorbed of the language was lost as she got older and stopped using/hearing it.

25. What were their parents like? are they still on good terms with their parents?

Aubree’s parents were prospectors who scavenged for useful materials left behind by others to sell in settlements as a way to make a living. Because of that, they never stayed in one spot too long. While they had to have a fair amount of people skills to sell their wares, their traveling lifestyle also meant that their close connections were really family only. They impressed upon Aubree a sense of independence. But also, they were both really warm souls. They liked to fuel Aubree’s imagination when she was a kid by helping her dream up stories about what their salvage might’ve originally be used for. So, adventurous folk, too. They eventually passed away, peacefully, in old age (by wasteland standards). The pretty much did prospect work until they couldn’t anymore, and then briefly settled in Goodsprings before they passed. Aubree was still on good terms with them, but had gone her own way some years before they passed to take her job as a courier.

34. Do they goof around a lot? do other people find it funny or do they just entertain themselves?

She’s not a huge comedian, but two things she does like: puns (the worse they are, the better) and whimsy daydreams. The last one isn’t really goofy, I suppose. But some people find it quirky about her. As an extension for her love of tall tales and far fetched stories, she really likes bright colors. Unicorns. Dinosaurs. Anything a little bit fantastical like that. It helps break up the monotony of the wasteland.

7. What’s their happiest memory?

Ooof to be honest, I’m not really sure! The first thing that springs to mind is finding little treasures with her parents when she was little: an intact stuffed animal, watercolor paints, or crayons, comic books. She retained her love for colorful and kind of soft things like that as an adult and will still pocket/keep/collect them when she does come across them.  I haven’t 100% figured out if I ship them or not (I do sometimes hehe) but I think one of Aubree’s happiest memories was teaming up with Boone. He was the first companion she started traveling with. Before then, Aubs was on her own since parting ways with her parents. She doesn’t mind being alone. But after a while, she wanted somebody to share things with, even if that person was just a friend. She made nice with folks when she passed through a town, but didn’t really have anyone just in her corner. Boone was the first person to really watch her back like that, even if he grumble grumbles at her bad jokes.
