sigh

i guess i’ll finally post 06’s backstory smh

So 06’s actual name is Finn, but he doesn’t remember that after diving headfirst into a bullet. He was born somewhere in what used to be michigan, and he was a bit of a rebellious jerk who snuck out a lot to go steal books to read and snacks to eat. 06 also got in a lot of trouble as a kid for just displaying signs of neurodivergency oof

He moved out as soon as he could and lived in an abandoned house in the outskirts of Novac, where he became the sort of glue that keeps Manny and Boone from absolutely hating each other.

He takes the whole ‘deliver the chip’ job and decides to sneak through the Quarry because it’s quicker and he’s got plenty of experience sneaking around.(obviously it doesn’t go well)

Finn wakes up in Goodsprings with barely any memories, and obviously since he hasn’t come back home Boone got a bit worried and headed out to Goodsprings to check on his friend. Finn has a panic attack upon seeing Boone because he should know this guy, but he can’t recognize him at all.

06 and Boone go around looking for Benny and getting filled in on information (stuff like who the fuck Boone is, where Finn lives, etc) and almost immediately upon showing up in Freeside, 06 falls head-over-heels for Arcade because he’s a gay loser. (Same)

Then Finn finds Benny, shoots him, and finds Yes Man, who’s accidentally a bit too loud for 06 and sends him into sensory overload. (oops) It’s all good though, because after calming back down, Yes Man is like “Sorry bro, anyways do you want to take over the Mojave?” and 06 is like “I guess, but can I just let it not be controlled by anyone else? I’m like in no fit mental state to run anything important lmao”

06 then kills Mr. House, has a really awkward chat with Caesar who doesn’t understand why Finn introduced himself and included his pronouns, and becomes besties with the Followers. Oh, he also adopts ED-E and Rex as his kids. He’s a father now ig
