[pinstripe-king]

Friends, I present to you my biggest contribution to this fandom 🤝 Some years ago I made some references to use on my art, now I'm sharing it, finally. Feel free to request any in-game outfits and I'll take some screenshots and post it here when I finish the pip-boy reference I'm currently doing.

Here are the first couple of OCs I've designed as I've been plotting out Chaye's FNV storyline. These two are meant to replace the characters in the "Young Hearts" questline in the Boomers faction.

You find Mango where you would normally find the NPC Jack- though closer to the border fence and actively looking through binoculars, unlike in game. Talking with them reveals their mechanical expertise as well as their crush on a girl over at the Crimson Caravans headquarters, who they think they saw waving back at them a couple of times. They ask you if you’d be willing to go talk to her for them, as they can’t exactly leave the camp. When you do you’re met with the usual options: though Chaye specifically makes sure the girl Tangerine gets across safe.

She reveals through talking to her that she witnessed Mango falling off the watchtower trying to wave at her. (And you can’t convince her to go by making her jealous lol) Bringing her back not only helps the faction as a whole accept outsiders, but also unlocks the usual unique item of the rebreather, crafted by Mango.

Bringing Tangerine into the camp also connects the Boomers to the outside world via her family's caravan, further uniting the Mojave under the Courier's hand.

The tension in the Boomers is not only between them and outsiders, but the elder, traditional generation and the younger, bolder Boomers that are much more curious about the outside world. Having Mango on your side assists you and makes the overall difficulty of earning the faction’s trust easier. Mango is an orphan and only just recognized as an adult among their faction, and is Mother Pearl’s ward. Earning their trust earns you more of Mother Pearl’s and vice versa. In the end card of an ideal ending, Mango joins the Followers of the Apocalypse to aid the Mojave on a whole.

This time, he’s gotta deal with the Twilight Zone mad scientist crater.

thinking about deathclaws btw. i think a while back i did a little doodle woth text attatched but i didn't do an image id (sorry) and also it wasnt that good but uhhhhhhh anyway. disclaimer i haven't played fo1+fo2 yet so there's no input here on sentient deathclaws

surface-dwelling deathclaws are crepuscular/nocturnal trust me on this one. Deathclaws in general prefer more cavernous terrain with lots of hidey-holes, and feed primarily on molerats, because they're blind and a little stupid and live in the same area anyway. Young deathclaws have been known to move into larger molerat dens - good for them, bad for any wasteland pest control.

large claws help dig, horns swoop over the eyes like that both for protection and so they can push more dirt/rubble around.

anyway EYES.

(rods are light-sensitive, cones are colour-distinguishing)

Deathclaws would have a lot more rods than cones, and what cones they DO have would be primarily red. It's a lot easier to hunt something when you're the one who can actually see in the dark. They'd need the extra light sensitivity to differentiate between what to us is Blue-Black #307 and Blue-Black #306 as to them it would be Tree (Don't Run Into, Ouch) and Food (Yes Run Into, Straight Into Mouth). Really really good at seeing movement. Deathclaws see more red because blood and that's important - wounded prey now looks like a beacon! especially armoured wounded prey; red shows where the armour is broken, and thus where to aim.

also! pit organ! like (pit) vipers and pythons! deathclaws can see infrared! because that's cool! being able to see temperature is pretty important for these guys. Also, the deathclaws in fo4 having black scales on top plays into this - it's pretty good camouflage against other deathclaws/other infrared-sensing creatures. The deathclaws in fnv don't have this and are instead more tan-coloured because they have to be more concerned about being hidden in the sand than hiding from other deathclaws (fo4 has less deathclaw packs? i think? idk i might change my mind on this, i'm not that far through fo4 yet)

anyway yayyyyyyyyyyy wooo deathclaws.

this was born of a love of biology and Why Animal Is That Way and giant fuck-off critters. and also i wanted deathclaw bullfighting to exist.

Little gift for @super-shishkebab of her OC Purslane, feat. Marlow in his jammies for some reason 💜

Purslane is such a cutie rapscallion I just love her whole scene

Perk:Protect Children A sketch of 2020 inspired by the Boomers in Nellis Air Force Base and the unmarked quest Bear Necessities. Requin's opinion of the Boomers would be one of cautious respect and curiosity.

ik that the fnv Boomer faction is supposed to represent the boomer generation of today but hearing Jack say, "once a republican always a republican," literally made me start cackling. like dude, do you even know what a republican is? do you even know the word "politics"? have you ever even heard of America?????

“Vulpes- I’m currently stuck in Novac, nobody informed me of this- is there any safe route I can take out of here. As well, I’d rather not explode at this very moment…”

Frumentarius Galileo, there is no danger in Novac currently. We issued orders to return to the Fort and prepare for Vertibird takeoff and to position artillery, courtesy of the Boomers at Nellis 30 minutes ago. I assume you missed the briefing.

Head to HELIOS ONE. I’ll try to arrange a Vertibird to defend the site, answer to the base commander and follow their orders.

Hold on, Lanius just informed me of a.. wave of NCR Vertibirds, and… armored vehicles headed to the Strip? Wait… *flips through book* Are those tanks?

FNV Minor Character Poll - Round 1-B, Day 2

Left: Silus, a centurion of Caesar's Legion who has been captured by the NCR at Camp McCarran. —"You must have some reason to be in your line of work. Tell me, what did the Legion do to you? Did we enslave your children? Slaughter your family before your eyes to teach you a lesson? Whatever it was, I hope I was there to give the order."

Right: Raquel, master-at-arms for the Boomers at Nellis AFB. —"I wasn't the one firing the howitzers. If you want to see how good I am at killing savages, I can show you. Or you can accept Mother Pearl's invitation. It's your choice."

Designated cheerleaders were not available for this match-up.

“Let us recap, shall we?

You are probably one foot away from a chain link fence,

Aiming a missile launcher through said fence

At a target probably six feet away.

And you claim that I am the savage here?

Pfft… Whatever, Boomer.“

War. War never changes.

When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, forming tribes.

As decades passed, what had been the American southwest united beneath the flag of the New California Republic, dedicated to old-world values of democracy and the rule of law. As the Republic grew, so did its needs; Scouts spread east, seeking territory and wealth, in the dry and merciless expanse of the Mojave Desert. They returned with tales of a city untouched by the warheads that had scorched the rest of the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado River. The NCR mobilized its army and sent it east to occupy the Hoover Dam, and restore it to working condition.

But across the Colorado, another society had arisen under a different flag. A vast army of slaves, forged from the conquest of 86 tribes: Caesar's Legion. Four years have passed since the Republic held the Dam - just barely - against the Legion's onslaught. The Legion did not retreat. Across the river, it gathers strength. Campfires burn, training drums beat.

Through it all, the New Vegas Strip has stayed open for business under the control of its mysterious overseer, Mr. House, and his army of rehabilitated tribals and police robots.

You are a Courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn... for the worse.
