Meet the Sillies !

Here are my Lone Wanderer, Courier 6, and Sole Survivor (+ an old oc) !

Info on them under the cut <3

Lone Wanderer: Axel Nessley

Age: 19

Gender: nonbinary (they/them)

Sexuality: queer (hasn't figured it all out yet, but they know they like boys)

Companion(s) of choice: Butch DeLoria <3

Weapon(s) of choice: Lead pipe and 10mm pistol

Courier 6: Jesse Elliot Ruthford

They get ghoulified after they successfully activate the purifier, I have doodles of that I'll post later.

Age: 26

Gender: trans man (he/him)

Sexuality: pan demiromantic

Companion(s) of choice: Arcade and Rex. Sometimes Boone or Veronica and ED-E.

Weapon(s) of choice: ratslayer, revolver, and Oh Baby!

He genuinely doesn't remember anything past first obtaining the platinum chip and even then that exchange is foggy. He's not too worried about getting them back either as long as he's still aim is still straight.

Gender: transmasc (he/they)

Sole Survivor: Fletcher Melbun

Age: 32

Sexuality: bisexual (male leaning preference)

Companion(s) of choice: Nick Valentine, Hancock, and Dogmeat

Weapon(s) of choice: modified combat rifle, molotovs, .50 hardened sniper rifle, serated switchblade

Has been going through a nonstop gauntlet since he left the vault. Long story short: he sobbed when he found Codsworth, he sobbed when he managed to make his way back to Valentine's office, and he sobbed anytime his Pip-Boy map would glitch out. Despite this, not a pushover. Don't test him.

Age: 23 (at time of ghoulification), now? They'll never tell.

My ghoul oc: Warren "Renny" Knewman

Gender: Won't tell anyone to keep them on their toes, but genderfluid (any pronouns)

Sexuality: asexual biromantic

Specific game origin: he could be applied to any title tbf, but I mostly imagine her in Fallout 4.

Weapon(s) of choice: sawed off shotgun, laser pistol, baseball bat

Just kinda hangs around, you could find her pretty much anywhere with a terminal and/or a surface to sleep on. When he's in the commonwealth, he likes hacking Diamond City’s turrets for fun when there's nothing too serious going on. Either that or they're camped out in Goodneighbor.

If you have any questions about them, don't be afraid to ask !!! I'll be rolling more art out of them soon enough :]

Thanks for reading ! And please reblog <3

Phoenix Vida-Jones truly thought that the world would end not with a bang, but with a whimper. Then, she was shot in the head carrying a platinum chip by a tacky city-slicker.

Fortunately for her, she got fixed up with just enough memories to get her by on her quest for revenge. Guess the world doesn't end with a bang. What she wasn't counting on though, is the past she barely remembers coming back to haunt her as she plans to take down Benny and resolve the conflict at the Hoover Dam. Meanwhile, her developing and probably unrequited feelings for a mourning sniper have her conflicted and looking for love in other places. Enter: the King.

Boone on the otherhand has enough trouble going on just keeping up with the group's antics, let alone the old wounds opening up as Boone is forced to face the past with the sudden presence of Carla's mom.

5 Favourite Characters

Rules: make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.

tagged by @writtense let's gooo

If you vote, you gotta make your own poll (unless you've done it already) 🫵🫵🫵 (sorry I'm cringe and don't like tagging people WAH)

Visuals of each character:

Arcade who was my Loid before Loid existed <3333333 I love him and was OBSESSED with him back when I played F:NV

Disco Elysium is full of amazing women, but Klaasje really hit that sweet spot in terms of character... she's like straight from the works of Henrik Ibsen

My first husbando, from a shitey Korean MMO (I have a lot of favs from GE but like they're gonna lose in the poll against other characters anyways)

Everyone knows Loid, my current obsession and husbando, I expect him to sweep this poll because 90% of my followers are here for Warframe and out of that 90% a good chunk are Loidposters

Magister Sieran... she was my first love, my crush. I love her, my plant wife. Everyone's favorite was Tybalt, but my first order was the Durmand Priory and I will always love Sieran. <333 Yay for side characters

hey man,, would you pls consider writing something fluffy with an m!courier and arcade gannon? he owns my heart.

-----

Arcade sat on a bench outside of the king's building, waiting for the courier to come out. The place reeked of pre-war cologne and hairspray. And rat. Lots of rat smell in the air. He pulled out an old prewar magazine and read it, holding the magazine in one hand and propping his upper weight on the bench with his other arm. He got absorbed into the old war texts, allowing himself to keep indulging as the courier came out and sat next to him.

It wasn’t until the tips of the courier's fingers touched Arcade's hands that he suddenly snapped out of the magazine and into reality. He felt his heart pumping for a moment, he glanced over. The courier's strong and worn body, now having the leftover smell of cologne. And the courier's natural scent of dust, sweat, and broken memories. He let his eyes linger for a moment too long and the courier spotted him, and Arcade quickly pretended to be absorbed into the magazine again holding the magazine up with both hands now. 

“Whatcha reading Arcade?” The courier said, suddenly wrapping his arm around Aracde, resting his chin on Arcade's shoulder. Arcade suddenly felt strange, both wanting to jump out of his seat from nervousness and not wanting to move in case the moment should leave him. He did his best to stay calm.

“A prewar magazine, it has some interesting documentation of prewar medicine,” Arcade answered.

“Oh alright, I’ll read with you.” The courier kept his head resting on Arcades shoulder, and Arcade didn’t mind. And he pretended to suddenly be a particularly slow reader.

This is a less interesting proposition than it seems, because the companions in fallout new vegas are all very carefully chosen. They're all people who've been failed by the institutions they're associated with. (except raul, kinda, although his institution, community, still failed him) Veronica is the most clear-cut. She has a vision, and the brotherhood is incapable of delivering on it, no matter her ending. Lily, who you did not mention here, was failed once by the vault system, then by the master, and finally by jacobstown, that couldn't help her or any of the nightkin. Arcade Gannon is working for the followers, possibly the most ideologically pure faction, but they just don't have the resources to pursue his vital medical research. The NCR has the resources, but Gannon can't work for them. He would've been a fantastic researcher in the enclave with their endless resources and his family connections, but that route was closed off, permanently. Boone was failed by NCR command, and the people of the wastes. Rose of Sharon Cassidy is your crimson caravan companion. Thanks to their monopoly, everyone else is naught but target practice. Rex shows off the technological limitations of the kings. No amount of love can save someone you just don't have the expertise to help. and finally, Ed-e, similar to Rex, was built by an enclave that could not afford to finish it.

Out of the cut content, Ulysses was meant to be your Legion companion. He was part of one of the many, many groups that Caesar allied with, then betrayed and enslaved to break them into the legion. And Ulysses was broken. His loyalty to Caesar over-rode every other part of his personality, despite his posturing to neutrality. In comparison, Vulpes Inculta doesn't even do the posturing. He's just a die-hard legionnaire. Benny was another proposed companion, and he would've been your house companion. Taken in by House, who stripped their identity nearly as thoroughly as Caesar, Benny chose to lean into it, going as far as to try taking over the strip himself. The final proposed companion that I heard rumours of was Father Elijah, one of the biggest monsters in this game. Not only is he redundant with Veronica, it's hard to blame them for failing his self-destructive and deeply evil vision. While some of these would've been really cool, it makes sense why they made the decisions they did: With the limited development time, focusing on one, more developed route, and giving each companion besides Raul a deep connection to the NCR as it developed makes more sense than spreading their resources too thin trying to do everything.

The Boomers have many, many points of failure, but the biggest one is their insane militarism. Having a companion, whose purpose is to follow you, shooting enemies, would've been a little off-message. Saying "i want to kill more people, just not here" isn't really a rebellion. The little romeo-and-juliet story they get is a much better rejection of their ethos. The Great Khans are a people in decline. The walking dead. Joining them at all is a rejection of their story, leaving them is simply what's expected. The fiends are even worse off. Motor-runner outlines several ways in which their faction fails its members. Any number of them could be introduced to a slightly more healthy lifestyle just by journeying with the courier, which means that none has a unique story. Goodsprings and the powder gangers run into the same problem: they're both broadly opposed to the NCR and they're both nearly unconnected from the rest of the wasteland. The powder gangers also aren't really a community, they're a short-lived movement, a powder-keg if you will of hot-blooded action that doesn't have enough momentum to keep them going. Similarly to the fiends, goodspring, the powder gangers, and sloan, Jason Bright and his followers aren't really a faction, they're a questline.

The reason why F:NV is still so beloved to this day is not just because it's a big, long, ARPG with a good story: it also *shows* you how to find the fun parts, through its companions. Even Raul, who doesn't have explicit connections to the factions of the Mojave, still encourages you to seek out characters you might not otherwise, and put into context the community that they've built around each other. How much fun would it be to experience that journey for the first time with some generic Mr. Handy? Perfectly fine from a gameplay perspective, but perhaps less than fulfilling story-wise. Characters in a story need a conflict to remain interesting, and the companions we have don't just have conflicts with the world, but also with themselves. When proposing new companions, how would you place someone in that position?

If FNV was perfect (and kinda excessive) you’d get one companion for each faction I think. In theory it might look something likeeee NCR Companion: Boone already fits the bill for a solid NCR companion imo. He could be a little more interesting though.

Legion Companion: I think Vulpes Inculta was already a cut Legion companion, but it makes sense that a Legion spy would accompany the courier to infiltrate/attack the NCR/Strip.

House Companion: Mr. House already used Victor to keep tabs on the courier, so it makes sense to me that Victor could become a companion. Or just a regular securitron.

Independent Companion: I think a lot of companions already fall under this, but both Benny and Yes Man work too. Both are just as invested in making Vegas independent.

Boomers Companion: I don’t think any of the Boomers would want to leave their base tbh. Also I have no idea besides one of the Mister Gutsys maybe.

Brotherhood of Steel Companion: Veronica is already the perfect BoS companion narratively but I think it’d be funny if you could drag McNamara around.

Followers of the Apocalypse Companion: Arcade is already a good Followers/Independent companion but while it doesn’t make complete sense for her to follow the courier around instead of helping at the Old Mormon Fort… Julie Farkas :3

Great Khans Companion: Melissa Lewis is just kinda hanging around Deathclaws with nothing better to do anyway, like.

Crimson Caravan: I don’t think anyone is begging for a Crimson Caravan companion but it’d be kinda neat if there was a caravan guard up for hire with nothing better to do. Also, Ringo.

Mojave Express Companion: I’m still kinda shocked there’s only one courier companion mod out there. Anyway I think there should either be a courier who wasn’t targeted by Benny and/or Ulysses companion (he was already a cut companion too).

Fiends Companion: Driver Nephi is the meme option but I think there could easily be a Fiend hanging around Vault 3 with nothing better to do but leave.

Goodsprings Companion: I can’t imagine Sunny Smiles leaving Goodsprings to travel all over the Mojave, but I think she could accompany the courier for the first third of the game maybe. Because reasons.

Kings Companion: Rex already exists but I’d love a human Kings companion with a lot to say about every spot in Freeside and the Strip. Maybe a guide/bodyguard.

Powder Gangers Companion: I still think Boxcars would make a cool early-game companion after passing a medicine check, but anyone from the NCRCF could be looking for a good opportunity to leave.

Bright Brotherhood: I think it’d be funny if Harland decided to go with you to deal with the Nightkin and then just kept following you.
