#Sallow Flagstaff

[randamhajile]

heyyyyy it’s Fallout OC time!!! Featuring some rough sketches circa 2312 of my boy Ezekiel Graham, a new OC I haven’t talked about here named Sallow Flagstaff, and @powerfisto‘s beatnik mess Casey Allen Jr. Wiseman, all within the AU that It’s Always Sunny In The Mojave and Case File: Vulpes Inculta takes place in, credit due to @turianosauruswrex for crafting the vast majority of the AU with me. 

Now, with the three’s powers combined, they form the...

Trainwreck Trio

lmao they all have such messy lives... a highly simplified and truncated little ramble about them under the cut--

So you can only imagine the Daddy Issues Zeke has LOL, but despite that he does his absolute best to be a good person with a do-gooder professional career, even if his personal life is comically dysfunctional. 

Sallow, though... she’s the bastard child of, you guessed it, one Edward Sallow. A personal slave of Caesar’s with a tragic case of Stockholm Syndrome is put up for sale and is bought by a centurion in Flagstaff, who is unaware she is with child. Sallow is born in 2282 into the Centurion’s household as a house slave and her mother dies when she’s pretty young, but not before telling her that she’s special and that one day her name will be proof of that when her father finds her. When the Legion remnant authority in Flagstaff finally collapses in 2291 long after Caesar’s death, she’s taken in by the Followers of the Apocalypse as a war orphan and raised at the Old Mormon Fort in Vegas, where she learns their ways and skills.

Her narrative arc is coming into her freedom and the new authority she has when she’s no longer a slave, which is put on a massive halt when an old Follower recognizes who she is, hears her name and the circumstances of her mother, and tells her as much. Suddenly burdened with this knowledge, she becomes paranoid about others discovering the truth and about her fulfilling even more parallels until she repeats history to abuse authority so disastrously like her father did. She applies for a transfer to Flagstaff, which has been independent for a while by then, and goes there to be in as backwater a Followers post as possible, where she can just skirt by being as mediocre as can be with no one ever knowing who she is.

There she meets Casey Wiseman, at the time going by Allen Wiser, and becomes begrudging friends of circumstance. A lot of complicated stuff happens first involving a terrible friend of Allen’s named Vaughan discovering the truth about Sallow and outing her publicly to every tabloid possible. Then Allen, purely out of spite and jealousy, is a massive, incredible asshole to Ezekiel Graham, who’s been living there a few years, and who eventually literally knocks some sense into him with a single good right hook after Allen steps a line in his taunting and faces consequences for his terrible behavior for the first time in his whole life. This causes him to actually have to like, fucking be introspective and realize how shitty he is, so he changes his name and leaves for Vegas to re-invent himself as a better person.

Witnessing this helps Sallow realize she can’t skirt by being pathetically comfortable forever and decides to get past who she is and finally live out her full Head Bitch In Charge potential, because she knows she’s a better person than she’s being right now and can help a lot of people. She moves back to Vegas too, runs into Allen (now Casey) again, and continues their friendship, this time more genuine as they actually give a shit about their lives. 

Again... so much complicated and hilarious stuff happens where Ezekiel runs into Casey and they actually befriend each other (and more LOL) which ends up forming the Trainwreck Trio of pals with complicated relationships with their parents(tm) LMAO

There is SO SO so much detail and events being left out of this but that’s as brief an overview I can give without writing an essay on them, haha.

Day 11 - Edward Sallow/Joshua Graham (Fallout: New Vegas, PG-13)

The Bald Head chieftain prostrates himself on the ground, forehead in the dust. The desert sun beats down on him while Caesar and his Legate look on from their low recliners arranged in the shade of a large red awning. They bring tribute, though Joshua will call it a bribe, a desperate attempt at buying their freedom and their survival. 

Caesar graciously takes the offering of leather and worked metal and broc flower, of precious little gold and a weathered copy of Ovid, of all things. The chieftain rises, uttering thanks in a smooth, submissive tone, and while he is talking to Caesar, his cautious eyes linger on the Malpais Legate, the rabid mountain lion who destroys and burns nations in the name of Caesar's Legion.

It does not go unnoticed.

Edward's eyes narrow and his jaw goes tense, and the Bald Heads leave Flagstaff with the promise of destruction and the headless corpse of their chieftain. Edward watches them leave before turning to Joshua. "Soon, they will join us or die. You made me proud, Legate. Ask me anything, it's yours," he says, and the gathered hold their breath, waiting to see what honor will be sought on such a careless promise.

But Joshua Graham knows Edward, knows the cleverness in his half-lidded eyes, the blasphemous guile of his lips, and he only sets his mouth in a bittersweet not-smile and asks for nothing.
