WORD COUNT: 3.7K
A/N: I just love these two. This one was a personal favorite because it's just so damn dirty. This is NOT a continuation of Unrequited. Just a similar preface.
dividers made by @cafekitsune
Everything was going her way right now. She had woken up on time, she had enough time to take a shower even, and she was able to get breakfast before patrol! The sun was up, and the autumn air was comfortably cool, enough for her to wear her thin hoodie all day long. Everything was going good… And then she saw her assignment.
“Unfuckingbelievable…” Ellie’s hand went to the board where she saw she was running the Hoback Pass trail with… of all the people that she could go with, why was it her?
“Damn, you got Abby?” Ellie looked over her shoulder to see Jesse standing right behind her. A deep sigh left Ellie’s throat as she ran her entire hand across her face and tried to calm down. She knew it was too good to be true. And she knew that the second they were deep inside of the patrol route, her and Abby would be attacking each other like wild animals. It was always inevitable.
Shimmer was being pulled in from the paddock as Ellie went to retrieve her rifle. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Joel and Abby’s dad, Jerry, leaning against the fence on the far right with mugs in their hands and casually talking, clearly enjoying their day off. Ellie envied them, but at the same time she felt bad for Jerry. He had the world’s bitchiest daughter.
“Where even is she?” Ellie checked the chamber of her rifle and made sure it was loaded before a hand curled around the barrel. A very large, veined hand that she could recognize with her fucking eyes closed.
“Don’t fall in the lake again,” Abby remarked, her hair in that same stupid braid it always was. She was wearing a flannel that she cut the sleeves off of and underneath was a black compression shirt with a few tears near the collar. She sure was adapting to that Wyoming fashion after being here for like… five years now.
“Oh my, god, that was one time,” Ellie rolled her eyes and yanked the rifle out of her hand, slinging it over her shoulder with her backpack. Abby simply scowled and went to get her own rifle while retrieving her horse.
As usual, Jesse gave the morning talk like he always did before he jumped onto his horse and the gates opened up. Ellie noticed that Dina was riding with Manny today; that’s good. They got along great and shared stories about Mexico, and New Mexico.
Ellie looked at her partner and saw that Abby seemed more than eager to get this patrol started. What was going through her mind right now?
“You ready for this?” Ellie scooted Shimmer closer to Abby’s stallion, Artax.
Abby looked over at Ellie, and smirked. “Try to stay quiet this time.”
Attacking each other like wild animals was almost an understatement…
Everything was going like normal, with Ellie and Abby clearing out their routes, taking down any infected that was nearby and making sure the paths were clear… And as soon as they reached their first lookout, Abby snapped.
Seconds after Ellie signed them in, Abby was pushing her face down into the table and grabbing a fistful of her auburn hair, leaning down low enough to whisper into her ear in just the right way that it drove Ellie crazy every time. “Wore those fucking jeans on purpose, didn’t you?”
Ellie couldn’t stop herself from whining from Abby’s gravelly voice, basking in the warmth from her body heat and leaning back against her. Ellie knew that the blonde loved these jeans, and for some reason, she just couldn’t help herself when grabbing them this morning. They hugged her ass almost perfectly.
“Y-you fuckin’ wish,” Ellie teased, her heart racing at Abby sliding her hands down in order to grip her ass with her immense strength. What was it about this damn woman that made Ellie want to submit but give attitude at the same time?
Abby’s veined hands slid into the back pocket of Ellie’s jeans before her thumbs traced the crease between her asscheeks, teasing the redhead to no end as she moved her hands down and dragged the tips of her fingers across the denim crotch. Abby didn’t miss the way Ellie shivered at her touch. And Ellie couldn’t hide how wet she was even if she tried.
“Fucking sad, isn’t it?” Abby taunted, her right hand sliding back up to grab at Ellie’s hair hard enough to make her eyes water. “You hate me… and I’m the only one that can fuck you good enough.”
“S-Shut up,” Ellie demanded. “J-Just stop fucking talking.”
“Oh, but you like it when I talk,” Abby taunted before her hand curled into the waistband of Ellie’s jeans and started yanking them down over her rear. For some reason, Ellie knew this would happen… and she had this sickening suspicion that Abby was prepared this. “You love it when I degrade the fuck out of you and split you open on my fingers, don’t you?”
Ellie stayed quiet, trying to deny her and biting down on her lip in order to stifle the sounds that were escaping her against her will. Abby wasn’t having it. Her massive hand came down and smacked directly against Ellie’s ass. A loud yelp left her and she looked over her shoulder and stared Abby down with a simmering glare. Abby was grinning.
If Ellie wasn’t careful, Abby might get angry enough to rip her jeans in the process… it’s happened a few times in the past before, and that was an awkward walk back to Jackson. Falling in the river? Yeah, that’s why she trashed her jeans, not because the seam was ripped right over her cunt so Abby could have easy access to her.
Tried to blame Ellie’s shaking legs on the cold water… But Abby knew the truth.
The blonde was waiting. She wanted to hear Ellie say how desperate she was for her, but Abby was going to need to try harder than that. She knew Ellie and knew that she was a stubborn little shit until the end.
Ellie tried to blame the sweating on the hot weather, but that wasn’t fully true. Her shirt was sticking to her bare skin uncomfortably, and normally Abby would have her almost completely naked by now, but the blonde was holding back. She was torturing her, and Ellie didn’t know if she loved it or hated it.
“You gonna say it?” Abby leaned down, her braid tickling the side of Ellie’s neck as she breathed against her skin. Ellie scowled, looking at Abby with narrowed eyes and resisting the urge to spit on her cheek like she’s done in the past. Their dynamic was so fucked, but so much fun that they just couldn’t stop themselves from sinking into madness. When Ellie curled her lips downward into a mocking snarl, Abby scoffed and grabbed a fistful of her hair once again, yanking her off the table and pushing her down onto the couch against the wall.
Ellie can’t even remember the number of times they fucked on this couch. And now another one was about to be added to their mental list. Abby put the sole of her boot into Ellie’s chest, forcing her to lean all the way back against the couch. Once she was satisfied, Abby removed her foot and stepped forward, standing between the auburn-haired girl’s legs and reaching down with her right hand.
“Open,” Abby demanded, her fingers gripping Ellie’s jaw as she huffed, and denied Abby what she wanted. In retaliation, Abby lightly swatted her cheek with her hand, forcing Ellie’s head to cock to the left as she whined. “Don’t make me fucking repeat myself.”
Ellie opened her mouth, and Abby immediately slipped her fingers in, dragging her index and middle digit across her tongue and teasing her mouth in the most torturous way possible. Ellie drooled, saliva slipping from her tongue and down her neck as Abby pushed her fingers a little further into her mouth and made the girl gag.
“That’s it, good girl,” Abby praised, seeing the way Ellie shivered when she gave her the positive words. She knew that Ellie loved it when she praised her, but Abby loved to tease… And she loved to degrade. And while Ellie loved sweet words of affirmation, she also loved being treated like a slut sometimes… and by sometimes, she means every time with Abby. “Head back… just like that…”
Ellie sat there obediently and whined as Abby leaned forward and mercilessly spit into Ellie’s open mouth. Ellie’s heart was racing with every passing second as she did exactly what the blonde wanted. Abby pressed a kiss to the corner of Ellie’s lips and released her jaw. “Swallow.”
She gulped without a word of disobedience.
“Oh, fuck this,” Abby looked frantic as she got down on her knees in front of Ellie and began yanking down the girl’s jeans as fast as she possibly could. She almost ripped the denim, wrestling with Ellie’s dumb converse as she yanked them off and left her in just her shirt and socks before leaning down and grabbing Ellie’s thighs with both hands. The veins flexed in her forearms and Ellie huffed pathetically.
They’ve done this dance so many times before. Ellie was so familiar with Abby’s touch by now that she knew what to expect when the woman was desperate. Her tensed fingers gripping at Ellie’s flesh was making her tremble with anticipation as the blonde dived down like she couldn’t take it anymore. It was only a few seconds before Abby’s tongue was on Ellie’s pussy.
“OhmyGOD,” Ellie arched upward, her eyes rolling to the ceiling as she fell against the back of the couch. It always felt like the first time, and she could never get enough of the blonde’s mouth on her for as long as she lived. Ellie looked down, seeing how Abby’s brows were pulled in almost anger as she lapped her cunt from her hole to her clit, drinking in her arousal and pushing her legs up so Ellie’s knees nearly touched her shoulders.
Abby loved being in control. She had no problem folding Ellie’s limbs around so it was easier for her to take advantage of her body and have her lay in the perfect way so she could reach her deepest parts and get Ellie to make the sweetest sounds. Not once had Ellie topped Abby, but it didn’t seem like an issue. She always made Abby cum so it didn’t matter… Ellie loved being used by her like this. It was a part of her that she was allowed to lose and give to someone else; a piece of control she could relinquish willingly to the strongest person she knows.
Ellie didn’t voice that she trusted Abby, but it was wordlessly affirmed for her almost every time.
Abby was drowning in her. Ellie’s heavy taste was making her moan, her tongue dancing between the girl’s slick folds and feasting on her pussy like she was the most delicious thing she’s ever put in her mouth. Ellie wasn’t allowed to touch her yet… not until Abby said so.
The blonde’s fingers squeezed her thighs harder, and Ellie let out a squeak that was so pathetic, Abby almost felt mercy for a second. She broke away from her core for a small second, panting and looking down at how the girl’s cunt was glistening with pleasure and her drool. God, Ellie was so fucking hot that it was painful. Abby was ignoring the pulse in her own cunt as she looked up and latched her lips around Ellie’s clit, sucking hard and making Ellie’s body jerk forward off the couch.
“FUCK!” She sounded like she was in pain, her eyes squeezing shut and her thighs shaking as she bent forward and wrapped her arms around Abby’s head. Fuck the rules, she wouldn’t survive this if she couldn’t touch her. Abby allowed it, and hummed with approval at Ellie’s nails scratching on her scalp. “Fuck, shit… A-Abby…”
The blonde wiggled her head from side to side as her tongue provided delicious stimulation for the tattooed girl at her mercy. She was drowning and loving every second of this… but Abby wanted more. Oh, she wanted so much more that it was painful.
Ellie was in ecstasy, but it was immediately ripped away when Abby broke off from her cunt and leaned back, looking at her and bringing her strong hand down to deliver a swat to her glistening pussy, right over her exposed clit. Ellie screamed, and immediately covered her mouth. If she was any fucking louder, the lookout would be swarming with infected… that would be beyond embarrassing to explain to everybody.
“Abby w-what the fuck is—” Ellie complained, now angry that the blonde stopped. But her complaints died on her mouth when she saw Abby stand up and unbuckle the belt on her hips, pushing her cargo pants down and unlacing her boots. “Can’t wait, huh? I’m that irresistible?”
“Shut up,” Abby bit back, grabbing at Ellie and pulling her off the couch. She laid her down over the sleeping bag that was left from the last patrol that had to stay here, pushing her down onto the ground and kicking her boots off, along with the jeans and underwear hanging off her ankles. “Shut up and do what I fucking say for once.”
“And if I don’t?” Ellie barked, staring Abby down with a fire behind her eyes. Abby didn’t like that answer and she immediately began to pull away, almost like she was about to get dressed again. Ellie began to panic, and she reached out, gripping Abby by the front of her shirt. “Okay, okay, you win! Fuck, I’ll do whatever you say, just please—”
Abby smirked, caging Ellie with her arms for a brief moment as she bent down and captured Ellie’s lips with her own. The kiss was soft, gentle, the opposite of what these two were with each other. That was one thing that always felt wrong, but so right… It didn’t matter how hard Abby fucked her, or how aggressive she was with her… Ellie always gave her the sweetest kisses that had Abby’s heart racing and it made her tremble with some forbidden emotion that she swore she didn’t feel for Ellie.
“You even beg like a whore,” Abby teased, resulting in Ellie biting her bottom lip. The blonde responded with gripping Ellie’s hips and pushing her upward a little before she used her right knee to lift the girl’s leg up a bit. “Come on, behave. Leg up, on my shoulder.”
Ellie obeyed, and she wasn’t sure if it was because her cunt was pulsing angrily, or because Abby smelled so good when she leaned forward and trailed her lips down the outer column of her neck. Ellie lifted up her leg, resting her calf against Abby’s broad shoulder as the blonde wasted no time in crawling over her body and slotting herself perfectly between Ellie’s legs.
“God, just fucking look at you,” Abby taunted, dropping forward and listening to the way Ellie groaned as she felt the blonde’s slick cunt slide against her own dripping pussy. Why did these two completely opposite women fit together so perfectly, like puzzle pieces from different boxes? Abby reached forward and pushed Ellie’s bangs out of her face, basking in how her green eyes sparkled with tears that threatened to fall. “You want me to fuck you so bad, you look stupid.”
“T-Then fucking do it already,” Ellie snapped, her fists curling into the front of Abby’s shirt as she yanked her down, veins bulging from her hands as she showed that aggression that Abby adored in her little spitfire so much. “Fuck me like you fucking mean it.”
Abby fell forward, her hands slamming into the floor behind Ellie’s head as she rutted down against her. The mix of their juices together provided the most perfect friction that Ellie couldn’t stop moaning, even for a second.
Normally she wasn’t this loud, but for some reason today, Ellie was overly whiny and vocal. It was like she was more sensitive than normal, and everything that Abby did was sending her into overdrive. She was wetter, her heart was racing faster, and her muscles were trembling with every single thrust of Abby’s cunt against her own.
Ellie reached up, grabbing the back of Abby’s neck and biting her lip as she did everything in her power to stifle her sounds, but it just felt too fucking good, and she didn’t even sound like herself! Ellie has never made these kinds of noises before in her life… Abby was practically drooling.
Everything was going just how Abby wanted it… and then Ellie grabbed her braid. A rough yank to her hair had Abby’s head snapping back and she gaped, eyes widening as she looked down and stared into Ellie’s green irises that seemed almost playful as she tugged on the braid again.
It was like a trigger as Abby just moved her hips faster, and ground herself down against Ellie’s cunt harder. She felt Ellie’s clit rub against her own in the most perfect way that Abby’s pace was beginning to falter, and her hips started stuttering. She hasn’t been able to cum in almost a week… Abby was just as sensitive as Ellie.
“Shit, El…” Abby huffed, her heart slamming against her ribs as Ellie’s fingers began aggressively curling in her hair. It didn’t take long for Ellie to unravel the braid, long blonde waves falling over and framing her face in golden curtains. Ellie loved seeing Abby with her hair down… it made her look even more beautiful than before. “Fuck… b-better cum f’me…”
“A-Abby… Abby, please…” Ellie sobbed, falling back to the ground. One of her arms went over her eyes and she arched off the floor, trying to meet Abby’s movements and slip herself along the blonde’s beautiful pussy. Abby was having none of it.
“No,” She grabbed Ellie’s wrist, pushing both arms down onto the floor and towering over her. She was really testing how far Ellie could stretch as she nearly forced the girl into a split. “Don’t you f-fucking dare look away from me… Want you to look me in the eyes… w-when you fucking cum— Jesus christ…”
Ellie couldn’t bring herself to disobey even if she wanted to. It was like a hot shower after falling in a frozen lake. It warmed her from the outside in, sending Ellie into sudden trembles that quickly took over her entire body.
“Fuckfuck— Ohmygod Abbyyyyyy…!” Ellie pressed her forehead against the blonde’s her eyes rolling back as her orgasm brought her to literal tears. Abby wasn’t far behind as she rutted against Ellie’s cunt that was getting wetter and wetter with every second.
Abby stopped moving, her hips jerking forward as low, violent groans of pleasure left her throat. “F-Fucking take it, baby… Making a fucking mess of this pussy…”
She could only hold herself up for so long. It didn’t take much for Abby to fall, her arms giving out as she pushed her face into Ellie’s sweat stained shirt. She carefully moved Ellie’s leg, listening to the poor girl cry out as her thigh cramped up and she fully lowered her limb down onto the floor. Her breath was labored, and her heart was racing and pounding hard enough that Abby could hear it and feel it against her face.
Both of them were quiet for a long time… What exactly are they supposed to say about it? It was always slightly awkward after they fucked each other speechless. This part never got any easier to deal with. A sigh left Abby’s throat as she looked up, trying to gauge Ellie’s expressions, but as always, she was an expert at schooling how she was feeling on the outside.
“You okay?” Abby asked, sitting up slowly and looking into Ellie’s eyes. Her pupils were dilated and to anybody else, they could assume she had gotten high. Abby began to remove herself from Ellie, her face turning red at how their bodies stuck together in the most vulgar fashion. “Ellie, are you—”
“I’m fine,” Ellie remarked, rubbing at her face with both hands as she sat up off the floor, only to fall back on her palms when a wave of dizziness washed over her. “I’m always fine…”
“Yeah,” Abby muttered wordlessly, reaching for a towel inside of the emergency duffel bag that was kept at every lookout. She slowly wiped off her inner thighs and stomach before she went to clean Ellie up, only for the redhead to stop her. “Would you just—”
“I’m not a fucking baby, I can do it myself,” Ellie snapped, wiping her legs off and making sure the remnants of Abby’s slick wasn’t left on any part of her skin. “See? Fully capable.”
“Just…” Abby looked like she had more to say. Ellie waited, pressing her thighs together to try and regain some sort of modesty, but Abby just scoffed, reaching for her jeans and tugging them back on. Ellie looked disappointed. “We gotta get moving.”
Ellie knew she was the one in the wrong. Abby always tried this every time. She would ask if Ellie was okay, and if she needed anything. Abby always tried to clean her up, whisper words of praise, even tried to kiss her once when it was over… But Ellie wasn’t having it. She was cold, aggressive, and pushed all forms of aftercare away from the blonde like being fucked by her was the worst thing she could think of.
Abby refused to tell Ellie just how much it hurt her. Every time Ellie denied her advances, Abby felt her heart ache all over again… Funny, isn’t it? How the biggest, baddest person in Jackson is the one pining after the rudest bitch to ever walk the streets.
Abby was embarrassed for the rest of the patrol route. She felt angry, dirty even, as she watched her patrol partner act and kill like nothing had happened, and nothing was wrong. Like she didn’t just have Abby all over her and against her…
Would Ellie ever let Abby in? Would Abby ever stop simping for Ellie? Or the bigger question…
Would they ever admit to themselves just how badly they were in love with each other?

2023 Fallout OC Census- Results
At long last, it's here! This time, we had 593 usable responses.
(There are a few categories I haven't analysed just yet, which is mostly because I have Ideas for how to display that data. Please stand by…)
Getting right into the numbers...
Game
Fallout (original): 18 Fallout 2: 8 Fallout 3: 59 Fallout New Vegas: 214 Fallout 4: 160 Fallout 76: 28 Fallout Tactics: 2 Van Buren: 13 A spin-off, AU or mod: 14 A TTRPG campaign: 13 Multiple of the above: 41 None, just the Fallout universe: 22
Are they the in-game protagonist?
Yes: 328 No: 203 It's complicated: 61
Species
Unmutated human: 444 Ghoul: 51 Synth: 41 Ghoul-ish: 13 Other mutant: 9 Supernatural/spiritual being: 7 Robot (non-humanoid): 7 Super Mutant: 6 Cyborg/android: 5 Unknown/it's complicated: 2 Other: 7
Definitions of a few categories, just to clarify exactly what's in there:
Ghoul-ish: Refers to all characters who are partially ghoulified, ghoulify during their storylines, and unique characters with primarily ghoul-like traits
Other mutant: Refers to all characters who are specified to have unique mutations from any cause, unless they better fit into the ghoul-ish category. This is a very diverse umbrella category, and in past surveys has included everything from characters specified to have 76-style mutations that basically function as perks, to a character similar in form and nature to the Master
Gender
Cis woman/girl: 217 Cis man/boy: 154 Trans man/boy: 76 Nonbinary: 47 Trans woman/girl: 27 Agender: 16 Genderfluid: 7 Genderqueer: 6 Man/boy, unknown or varies if cis or trans: 5 Transfeminine: 3 Bigender: 3 Demigirl: 3 Woman/girl, unknown or varies if cis or trans: 4 Butch: 2 Demigender: 2 Questioning: 2 Intersex: 2 Lesbian: 2 Māhū: 1 Multigender: 1 Queer: 1 Transmasculine: 1 Unlabeled: 1
Bonus answers I enjoyed: [redacted], a man in a certain sense of the word, cat, doesn't care for this, eh, God knows, a link to the Wikipedia page for Stone Butch Blues, it's complicated, man of questionable gender, no gender left beef, lost their gender in the war, people assume she's a woman but she doesn't really care, whatever's funniest, yeah
Where are they from?
In previous OC survey location maps, I've only included a single data point for each character, regardless of how many places they may have connections to. However, this time I've decided to include each place that a character has lived as one data point.
The list of assumptions I use when creating these maps:
Arroyo = Oregon
Mojave Wasteland = Nevada if no more specific locations provided
Capital Wasteland = DC if no more specific locations provided
Vault 101 = DC (I feel like this one isn't geographically accurate, but it's to fit in with the above assumption)
Washington unqualified = Washington state, not DC (even for Fallout 3 characters, especially since I know of a Fallout 3 character who is intended to be from Washington state)
Appalachia = West Virginia unless otherwise specified
NCR = California
Legion territory with no other information given = Arizona (this feels like the biggest generalisation of all to me. Maybe take the Arizona count with a pinch of salt?)
'Near X place' = in the same state as X place
I go by the current fifty US states. No splitting of California or considering Canada to be part of the US
Locations that could not be easily defined or placed in a specific state/country (examples: the US as a general answer, multistate regions of the US, continents, or extraterrestrial locations) have been excluded for the purposes of this map
The map for the US:
Massachusetts: 104 California: 79 Nevada: 77 DC: 74 Arizona: 32 West Virginia: 25 Texas: 17 Utah: 15 Oregon: 14 Colorado: 13 New Mexico: 7 Virginia: 6 Maine: 6 Idaho: 6 Pennsylvania: 5 Illinois: 3 Washington: 3 Louisiana: 3 Florida: 3 Wyoming: 3 Tennessee: 3 New York: 3 Rhode Island: 2 North Carolina: 2 Minnesota: 2 Vermont: 2 Alaska: 2 Missouri: 2 Nebraska: 2 Michigan: 2 Indiana: 2 Kentucky: 2 Oklahoma: 2 Maryland: 2 Montana: 1 Connecticut: 1 Georgia: 1 New Jersey: 1 Wisconsin: 1
And the map for the rest of the world:
Canada: 7 Mexico: 7 UK: 7 Russia: 4 China: 2 Australia: 2 France: 2 Brazil: 1 Ireland: 1 Israel: 1 Finland: 1 Germany: 1 Japan: 1 Panama: 1
Further breakdown of characters from the UK: Wales: 4 (…these are all my guys, what can I say?) England: 2 Unspecified: 1
Has this character ever lived in a vault?
Yes: 223 No: 366
Faction
Minutemen: 99 Railroad: 86 Followers of the Apocalypse: 80 Brotherhood of Steel: 77 Yes Man/Independent Vegas: 63 NCR: 50 Caesar's Legion: 38 Original faction: 36 Institute: 26 Kings: 16 Great Khans: 14 Nuka-World raiders: 13 Mr House: 13 Raiders in general: 13 Goodneighbor: 11 Enclave: 11 Arroyo: 9 Think Tank/Big MT: 8 Reilly's Rangers: 7 Underworld: 7 Ciphers: 7 (would you believe me if I said the majority here are not mine? XD) Responders: 6 Acadia: 6 New Vegas Strip in general: 6 Lyons' Pride: 5 Children of Atom: 5 Megaton: 5 Gunners: 5 Boomers: 5 Powder Gangers: 5 Cult of the Mothman (all variations): 4 Crimson Caravan: 4 Chairmen: 4 Mojave Express: 4 Necropolis: 3 Shady Sands (pre-NCR): 3 Vault 13: 3 Twin Mothers: 3 Diamond City: 3 Freeside: 3 White Glove Society: 3 Vault-Tec: 3 Bishop family: 3 Regulators: 2 Tunnel Snakes: 2 New Canaan: 2 Gecko: 2 Settlers/Foundation: 2 Abolitionists/Temple of the Union: 2 Galaxy News Radio: 2 80s: 2 Desert Rangers: 2 Unity/Master's Army: 2 Vault 76: 2 US Government: 2 Broken Hills: 2 Sanctuary: 2 Blue Ridge Caravan Company: 2 Goodsprings: 2 Cutthroat raiders: 2 Feral ghouls: 2 Hub: 2 Ghouls in general: 2 Nuka-World in general: 2 Little Lamplight/Big Town: 2
And the list of factions with one response, allegedly for the sake of something called 'brevity': Boulder scientists, Vault City, Littlehorn & Associates, Jacobstown, New Reno, Brotherhood Outcasts, Marked Men, Mole Miners, Treeminders, Forged, Junktown, Triggermen, Free States, Vault 101, Vault 81, Slags, Hubris Comics, Bunker Hill, Rivet City, Van Graffs, Ug-Qualtoth, West Tek, Vault 95, Novac, Atom Cats, The Outer Worlds factions, Commonwealth Super Mutants, caravan companies in general
I was initially planning to include a separate 'ish' category for each faction, to account for characters that are aligned with factions unwillingly/temporarily/out of necessity, but looking at the dataset, that sort of situation was so much more prevalent than I realised and quickly made everything very clunky.
Main approach to problems
Diplomacy: 211 Combat: 147 Stealth: 101 Technical skills: 79 Avoidance: 53
And finally for now- preferred weapon type
Small guns: 191 Melee: 128 Energy weapons: 91 Big guns: 82 Avoids combat altogether: 49 Explosives: 27 Unarmed combat: 24
-
As always, thank you to everyone who participated and gave me a little information about your OCs! If you'd ever like to talk more about them, my inbox is always open :D. Getting to learn about everyone's brainchildren is definitely my favourite aspect of my tangential foray into the Fallout fandom sphere.
My future plan for this dataset includes… a lot of pie charts, to put it mildly. As I've done for past survey datasets, I'll be compiling pie charts for each question, separating responses by the game that the characters are from, and we'll see if any trends emerge!

yeah I can make up a list of fake United States state names for people who aren't too familiar with the naming conventions/style. sure, I can do that.
completely made-up state names:
maritona
nentack
aliforta
jefferson
benjaminia
iralota
ania
natatonee
oltarodha
rhoan
tellerset
kaioring
kartidenia
wilemenia
curta
hamilton
perreedia
alexandria
lincolna
"new" titles that are not yet american states or nations:
new lanc
new cumbria
new devon
new kent
new rotterdam
new hague
new breda
new brabant
new saba
new madrid
new murcia
mashups of existing state names:
idatucky
tennessippi
caliyork
texoming
oklahutah
new dakota
carolide island
kenshington
alazona
ariska
georida
oreghio
misc tips:
you can make any of these (except the "New X" ones) a north/south pair if you want, but be careful, because there are only two of those IRL (carolina and dakota) so people might squint
y'know how fake european countries are often swapped out for Andorra because it's so small? do that with Rhode Island (land area) or Wyoming (population) for states
if you want to fuck with people, say it borders on Canada and Texas, or that it borders on Nevada and Maine, or that it's a Great Lakes state bordering on Mexico. couch it in vague enough language that people don't figure out what you're saying until you've moved on to the next line
if you want it to be a small, old state with a lot of history, but one that's small enough that it can go unnoticed, put it in the "New England" region
if you want it to be big and mostly empty, put it in the west, Rockies, or Great Plains region
if you want it to be a seat of cultural or artistic fame, put it either near New York or near southern California
if you want it to be in the middle of nowhere, put it near Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, or Montana
accents are all over the place, but if you want to be vague, either describe it as an "American accent" (if the state isn't supposedly in the South) or a "southern accent" (if the state is supposedly in the South). there are hundreds of dialects in the U.S. but that's the one that people will catch on to
we should set more tv shows in fake US states the way we make up fake european countries for disney channel originals and hallmark movies

I was planning a driving vacation for me. And jennifer kim to take old route sixty six. Never got around to it....
a road trip on Route 66 worth it?
It takes some planning to get to see all the countless little things along the Route but that planning is worth it. While it might be hard to guess how much time you need from day to day, I'd say 14 days if you're on the faster end with lots of driving as well.

Stop at all the sights and then, when you get the floor dug, go to disney and then check out singer island...
Disney World Ticket Cheapest Seasons

Abortion Restrictions: A Breakdown
It can be frustrating to try and sort through what exactly your state is, or isn't, doing to protect your fundamental right to reproductive autonomy. When it comes to legislation impacting your right to a safe and legal abortion, here are the types of laws restricting abortion access currently in effect, and which states are enforcing which ones:
Telemedicine Bans: Telemedicine abortion bans prohibit providers from providing abortion services via telehealth, presenting yet another major barrier to accessibility of care in states with few to no legal abortion clinics. The following states currently have Telemedicine bans in place:
Alabama Arkansas Idaho Indiana Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi Missouri North Dakota South Dakota Tennessee West Virginia
Method Bans: Method-based abortion bans prohibit specific methods of abortion such as dilation and extraction (D&X), dilation and evacuation (D&E), or medication abortion procedures from being carried out at all, or without strict regulations and barriers to accessibility. The method of such a deeply personal and invasive medical procedure should always be between an individual and their trusted physician– never the government. Below are a list of states which currently have Method bans in place, by method. (Keep in mind that states with total abortion bans will not be on the following restriction lists, as all abortion methods are inaccessible):
D&E procedures prohibited: Nebraska D&X (partial-birth) procedures prohibited: Arizona Georgia Kansas Michigan New Hampshire New Mexico Ohio Utah Virginia Medication abortion prohibited/access-restricted: Alaska Arizona Florida Georgia Iowa Kansas Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska Nevada North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania South Carolina Utah Wisconsin
Reason Bans: Reason-based abortion bans prohibit abortions thought to be sought out for reasons such as race, sex, or genetic anomaly. These are often ambiguous and leave room for subjective interpretation of an abortion-seeking individual’s intent, which can be dangerous. The following states are currently have Reason bans in place:
Arizona Kansas North Caroline Ohio Pennsylvania Utah
Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP): TRAP laws are specific regulations imposed on physicians and healthcare centers providing abortion services. They can take the form of particular location and facility regulations, extra provider qualifications, and reporting requirements, among other unnecessary hoops for providers to jump through. TRAP laws deliberately place unreasonable, burdensome, and often costly legal requirements on abortion providers in an effort to shut them down, rather than ensure the safety of their patients. The following states currently have TRAP laws in place:
Alabama Arizona Colorado Florida Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Michigan Mississippi Missouri Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Wisconsin
Parental Involvement Laws: These laws, legally requiring parental involvement in the abortion process, will take the form of either Parental Notification laws, in which abortion providers or clinics are required to notify parents or legal guardians when a minor is seeking an abortion before the procedure, or Parental Consent laws, in which abortion providers or clinics are required to document the consent of parents or guardians before the procedure. Below are a list of states which currently have Parental Involvement laws in place:
Parental Notification Laws Colorado Delaware Florida Georgia Iowa Maryland New Hampshire Virginia Wyoming Parental Consent Laws *denotes that consent is required from only one parent/guardian Florida Kansas* Massachusetts* Michigan* Montana Nebraska* North Carolina* Ohio* Pennsylvania* Rhode Island* South Carolina Utah* Virginia* Wisconsin* Wyoming*
Consent Laws: These laws require pregnant individuals to go through a variety of time-consuming, emotionally taxing, and often intentionally manipulative and biased checkpoints to meet the qualifications for having ‘consented’ to an abortion. This can take the form of 24-72 hour waiting periods between required counseling sessions and abortion procedures, mandatory pre-procedural ultrasounds alongside political scripts read aloud by a physician, and manipulative, inaccurate counseling sessions at “crisis pregnancy centers,” among other ideologically motivated legal requirements. These measures do not seek to deliver actual informed consent to patients, but to dissuade them from exercising their right to medical autonomy over their own bodies. The following states currently have Consent laws in place:
Mandatory Pre-Abortion Counseling Alaska Delaware Georgia Kansas Massachusetts Michigan Nebraska Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Utah Virginia Wisconsin Mandatory Waiting Period (Between Counseling+Procedure)() denotes length of waiting period Florida (24) Georgia (24) Iowa (24) Kansas (24) Michigan (24) Minnesota (24) Nebraska (24) North Carolina (72) Ohio (24) Pennsylvania (24) Rhode Island (24) South Carolina (24) Utah (72) Virginia (24) Wisconsin (24)
Hyde Amendment: Following the Roe v Wade verdict in 1973, Rep. Henry Hyde successfully introduced the Hyde Amendment, a budget rider prohibiting federal funding for abortion. As a result of this, Medicaid cannot cover abortion services, which can range from $700-$4,000 dollars, even when recommended by doctors due to serious health risks. The only exceptions to this are in life-threatening circumstances, or in the case of rape or incest, and since its introduction, Congress has gone on to renew the Hyde Amendment every single year. The Hyde Amendment serves as another means to penalize low-income individuals seeking abortion care. The following states follow the Hyde Amendment, funding only cases which are life-threatening or the result of incest/rape:
Arizona Colorado Delaware Florida Georgia Iowa Kansas Michigan Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania South Carolina Utah Virginia Wisconsin

You Can Vote Twice
According to www.ncsl.org the National Conference of State Legislatures The Definition of Double Voting
Most commonly, states prohibit voting more than once “in the same election.” This can be interpreted in different ways. Is voting in more than one state but on the same day voting in the “same election"? Or is each state-run election a separate election? What if voting occurred on different days, i.e. a voter cast an absentee ballot in one state and voted in person in another state on Election Day? Table 1 below contains state-by-state statutory language. In summary:
13 states explicitly prohibit voting in more than one state: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.
7 states prohibit voting twice within the state or for the same office: Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Mississippi and West Virginia.
32 states and Washington, D.C., prohibit voting twice in the same election: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In Indiana voting twice is not explicitly mentioned, but a person may not knowingly apply for or receive a ballot in a precinct other than the precinct in which the person is entitled to vote. And, registering to vote more than once is a misdemeanor.
Underlying these state statutes is the Voting Rights Act’s prohibition on “voting more than once.” 52 U.S.C. § 10307(e). NCSL has been unable to find a prosecution of any person under that statute for voting in multiple states at the same time (for instance, voting for state and federal offices in the 2016 election in State X and for state offices in State Y, when the voter owns residences in both states). Thus, the question of whether federal law prohibits such voting practices remains unresolved. To me it sounds like you can vote as many times as you like, in as many States as you like...what an awesome country More facts... "there is no federal statute prohibiting double-voting. Voter registration in multiple states is not itself a crime, and thus no one can be prosecuted for simply having two open voter registrations in different jurisdictions."

What??** Behind the scenes, they say that Trump is thinking of Attorney Generals like Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley. The Atlantic filled a whole mag with what the next Trump Presidency would look like. It is imagined that he now knows what he can get away with after testing the limits on his last Presidency. He now knows who he can really trust and the whole thing would be corrupt.* * People have started to talk about the open secret of his strange body odor as well.

Hell hath no fury as a former drag queen turned fabulist con man scorned. - George Takei** He is making big money on Cameo. Why the fuck Jimmy Kimmel wants to help fund that is beyond me. He seems to think it is funny to play ball with these idiots, that he makes them look foolish, I guess. He is just giving them more air- time and more $. ** There is already an HBO movie in the works.** The house is working thru impeachment charges for Biden. They openly admit that is a payback and they just want to hurt his political chances. That is not how impeachment is supposed to work.
*****
Marjorie Taylor Greene met with the Shaman traitor from Jan.6. ** Colorado and Maine have voted to take Trump off the ballot but Wyoming voted to keep him. What will the Supreme Court do with this??

Alaska, Nevada, New York, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Virginia are still waiting.
*****
Police and SWAT teams were called to the homes of law makers. Rick Scott, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Michelle Wu and Brandon Williams were a few that were targeted. There are no answers as to who is responsible for the hoaxes. The ‘swatting’ seems to be coming from outside the U.S.

*****
Christians have been warning about the Anti-Christ for 2,000 years. When he finally shows up, they vote for him. ** Many in politics seem to believe that shameless is a super power.** Scary Clown 45 continues with his racist speak, this time telling us that the blood is being poisoned. Colbert quipped that the real poisoning is people dipping pizza in ranch dressing. I agree that that is wrong. I will never understand that. I have a sister that dips.
*****
Terry Gilliam is said to be getting ready for his next film, Carnival at the end of Days. Will Johnny Depp play Satan??
*****
So excited for the Wilma Mankiller Barbie!!!!
*****
The House committee on Education and the Workforce has announced their investigation into Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts institute of technology. The charge is rampant antisemitism. One University of Pa. Donor has withdrawn a $100 million grant.

*****
Barbara Streisand will be given the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award.
*****
Trevor Noah will host the 2024 Grammy’s.
*****
Anthony Anderson will host the Emmy’s. ** Days of Our Lives won nothing on the Daytime Emmy’s. If it weren’t for Alley Mills winning a guest Emmy for GH, the show would have been pretty bleak. Yikes!!* *Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner hosted. Most of the people seen were part of the CBS family since that is who broadcast it. GH won most everything. Mayim Bialik was nominated for an Emmy for hosting Jeopardy. Jeapordy decided they did not want her back.
*****
Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss were awarded $148 mil in the Guilliani defamation trial. ** Rudy went outside and said he meant every word and they sued him again. You can’t make this up. The pillow guy, Fox News and Rudy but so far nothing reaches Trump. ** Rudy then filed for bankruptcy.
*****
Ivanka has been hitting the gossip pages hard, trying to get back in the swing.
*****
Why is there a delay in the menthol cigarette ban?
*****
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is out of the Presidential race. He was in??
*****
The Kennedy Center Honors were awarded. This year we honored Billy Crystal, Queen Latifah, Renee Fleming, Barry Gibb and Dionne Warwick. The show will air on Dec. 27
*****
When they make the movie of Lisa Marie’s life, I vote for Natalie Portman to play the lead!!
*****
The Daily show has been thinking of ways to get ahead on the Presidential election. One idea is to make Hunter Biden cool because of all his partying ways. He has been indicted on 7 different charges. The man spent a lot of $ on blow and women. It reminds me a bit of GW Bush and how comedy capitalized on his former partying and made Gore look like a boar. Another idea is that far left liberals and groups like Black Lives matter should suddenly declare their loyalty to Trump and start showing up for his events. The right always runs if they think the greenies like it. If we pretend to love his ideas, they will start to wonder and eventually run away.
*****
The Philippines had a 7.5 earthquake.
*****
What the Fuck is wrong with Ryan Murphy??? *****
Finally! Gareth Purselove was sentenced to life for the 2020 murder of Amie Harwick.
*****
Days alert: Bring back Jen Lilley! ** I think I am tired of Holly already and just when I think this, she is laying on the ground and foaming at the mouth. I am sure she will be fine. ** So great to see Xander and Sarah getting along. ** More Andrew Donovan!!!**Oh this John/ Constantine thing is interesting. ** Where have Tony and Anna been??** It is kind of fun to see Sloan slowly unravel.
*****
Casey Wilson worked on the film, The Santa Clauses and remarked that Tim Allen was terribly rude on the set. Why am I not surprised?
*****
Nicolas Cage has said that he has 3 or 4 movies left in him and then he is moving on.
*****
The National Board of Review chose Flowers of the Killer Moon as best film of the year.
*****
Sexual assault news: More women are coming forward to sue Sean Combs.** Tommy Lee has been sued for sexual assault.** Jonathon Majors was found guilty of the assault and harassment of Grace Jabbari.** Vin Diesel has been charged with sexual battery, emotional distress and a hostile work environment.** Danny Masterson headed off to prison.** Jermaine Jackson has been sued for sexual assault.** Christian Ziegler is being investigated for sexual assault.** Paula Abdul has sued Nigel Lythgoe for multiple sexual assaults.
*****
Why is Meghan McCain always bitchin’ about something or does the press just like to portray that side? **I do not understand why Trump and all his peeps are soo unhappy all the time. The complaining never seems to end. If they actually worked on problems and came up with some real policy, perhaps they would be a little happier and get things done besides tax breaks for the wealthy. These are not the strong, proud conservatives that I used to know. The big change was with Nixon. He was a whiner too. * * And why do they keep saying Trump does not mean what he says? We all know that he does. ** It appears that so many people believe things that make no sense and won’t accept the norm. Everybody is suddenly Les Nessman!

Quote from the movie: “In 1968, it was like the country was having a nervous breakdown.” Sound familiar? It really is the same divided vibe as the country had then. Trump is our Vietnam, he and his have torn the country apart. Half the country wants s Trump world, the other half wants democracy. Things aren’t as generational as they were then or even the haves and have nots struggle but that is there. The racism is still front and center. We still disagree about our role in foreign problems.

What do the states think of the pioneers? In /your/ opinion, should they be celebrated(Laura ingalls wilder, American Girls tm, Cowboys, songs etc)?
Morally I don’t agree with the Pioneers but I have this Wild West AU where New Mexico is a mysterious outlaw and Wyoming is her prostitute girlfriend and they flirt and do crime then cuddle in front of a flickering bonfire while opening up about their childhood and family beneath the freezing desert stars. Don’t know if that counts as celebrating, but I feel like it’s a bias I should make clear.
Anyway have some au doodles from 2019 I would show more but I draw and take notes in the same sketchbook so I can’t find shit when I need it

Mele Kalikimaka
Hawaii x Alaska
Summary: Hawaii joins the Statehouse for Christmas
Hawaii decided to join the Statehouse for Christmas. The day after Thanksgiving she walks towards the house. Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are setting up outside decorations. Texas is laying on the ground groaning.
She walks over to him, "What happened?"
"New York kick me off of the roof." Texas responds.
"Why?" She asks.
"I miss spelled 'Merry Christmas' is Christmas light." Texas explains. "I accidentally forgot the 'h'."
Hawaii looks up at the roof. Indeed he did, it said 'Merry Cristmas.' "Oh. I'm sorry. Do you need help up?"
"No, just leave me be for a little while."
"Ok." Hawaii responds then walk towards the door. As soon as she opens it. It reveals the chaos. New York is bossing everyone around. Delaware is struggling to put the mistletoe in one of the doorways. California, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon are putting the stockings in order. Florida, Louisiana, and Georgia are decorating one of the fake trees. North and South Dakota are bickering about something. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are also bickering while walking to the kitchen, they get caught under the mistletoe, PA kisses Mass and also most gets punched in the face until PA points above them, Mass still punches him and he almost gets knocked out. Rhode Island and New Jersey are decorating one of the fake trees. DC and Utah are cooking in the kitchen. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are decorating another on of the fake trees. Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa are setting the table. New Mexico is sorting couch pillows of one of the couches and Arizona is sorting the other. Colorado, Missouri, and Wisconsin are decorating the last fake tree. Illinois and Indiana are bickering while hanging Christmas home decor. North Carolina and Virginia are making out under the mistletoe. South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama are hanging Holly around the house. Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia are wrapping the banisters in garland. And Alaska is no where to be seen.
Hawaii walks over to New York with a smile, "Mele Kalikimaka! How can I help?"
"Go get you fucking boyfriend and tell him to get his Moose ass in here." New York says as nicely as he can.
"Where is his room?" Hawaii asks.
"The garage. That way. You'll know when you see it. " New York points in the direction that the garage is.
Hawaii walks in that direction. She approaches a door with a sign that has the word Garage written on it crossed out and replaced with Alaskan Wilderness. She opens the door to find Alaska sitting on his bed watching Supernatural on his computer. "Mele Kalikimaka!"
He looks over at her, "Merry Crisis."
"Oh, don't say that." Hawaii scolds his playfully. "Mele Kalikimaka me ka Makahiki Hou"
"Merry Crisis and Happy New Fear." He says trying to keep a straight face.
"No! Stop that! Stop being depressed! It's Christmas time. A time for joy not sadness."
Alaska smiles at her, "Fine."
"New York told me to tell you, and I quote, 'get his Moose ass in here'."
"Ugh, I guess I better go." Alaska says and gets up. They walk into main room. "What do you want me to do?" Alaska asks New York.
"Go fixed the Christmas light outside. Texas miss spelled Christmas and I want you to fix it." New York says.
"Why me?" Alaska asks.
"Because you're not doing anything."
"Fine." Alaska walks outside with Hawaii to find Texas still laying ground. "What happened to him?"
"New York kicked him off the roof." Hawaii explains.
"Ow." Alaska laughs the walks over to Texas. "Hey, little buddy."
"Go away. Let me lay here in my misery." Texas complains.
"Suit yourself." Alaska says the goes on the roof and fixes the lights while Hawaii helps Wyoming put up a wreath. When Alaska is done he goes back over to Texas. "Do you need help up?"
"Yes." Texas says and holds his hand up. Alaska takes his hand and pulls him to his feet. "Thanks."
"You're welcome."

Personal Update
My husband and i just got home from driving across the United States. Twice. His grandfather died unexpectedly (seriously, there was no warning and then one night we got a text saying his heart had given out and he had hours to live), and getting last-minute plane tickets this close to Christmas for our whole family was going to cost more than driving ourselves out there. So, we packed up two toddlers, got in the car, and had an adventure.
Of course, we tried to be safe, considering the pandemic. We had toddlers in the car, so we needed to stop and get out often, because they’re too young to be cooped up too long and too young to understand “we are driving for x amount of time and then we can stop.” We picked out outdoor places like zoos or stopped in smaller towns where the attractions had fewer people so the guests could be spread out. Restaurants with toddlers were a hassle, and it was too cold for outdoor dining, but honestly, we did our best. There was one incident where my son loved my pasta (yes, he stole my food) so much he didn’t regulate his intake and choked on noodles that I had to scoop out of his mouth so he could breathe, but that’s a whole other story.... Anyway...
The funeral was beautiful, and we got to have an early Christmas celebration with my husband’s parents and siblings. The kids loved all their adventures, but they’re definitely glad to be home, too.
And our little minivan was the real hero of the story. It drove through a windstorm in Wyoming, a snowstorm in Utah, dust clouds in New Mexico, and a fire in Arkansas caused by a car tire explosion off the side of the road. We made it the last thousand miles on a check engine light that we think was a sensor and not anything bigger, since that sensor has given us issues before, but we gotta get that checked out to be sure.
Basically, my family is exhausted, it’s been an emotional week-and-a-half, and if you could find some time to send good vibes or prayers or whatever you believe in my way, I could use them, because I’m really hoping we didn’t break my car or pick up the plague on our journey. We did our best. Now I’d like to sleep for a week.

Fallout Protagonist Survey- Initial Results!
There were 761 responses to the survey, which is more than twice reach than my previous surveys have had combined. Wow. Another huge thank you to all who took part!
Proper results drawing comparisons between different protagonists will be out soon, I just thought it would be interesting to compare these results to my previous general OC survey. You can find the results of that here. I feel like overall, the results of both were pretty similar, with some of the same patterns showing up in both datasets.
So, let’s get right into it...
Game:
Courier Six: 308 Sole Survivor: 254 Lone Wanderer: 114 Vault 76 Resident: 27 Chosen One: 23 Vault Dweller: 22 Prisoner (Van Buren): 8 Warrior (Tactics): 4 Initiate (BoS): 1
I was amazed at how many we got for the final three! I literally only added the option for BoS for the sake of completeness gdfdsg.
Gender:
Cis female: 349 Cis male: 193 Nonbinary: 87 Trans male: 58 Trans female: 32 Agender: 9 Genderfluid: 8 Transmasculine: 7 Female, unknown if cis or trans: 6 Genderqueer: 5 Questioning: 2 Aaand the list of those that got one answer: demigirl, intersex, bigender (demiwoman and demiman), neutrois
Species (at the end of their storyline):
Human: 637 Ghoul: 53 Synth: 38 Cyborg: 6 Another type of mutant: 4 Vampire (confirmed or possible): 3 Half-Ghoul: 3 Super Mutant: 3 'Altered' human: 2 The one list: Plant human, ZAX AI, human-nightstalker hybrid, alien
Race or ethnicity:
White: 460 Hispanic or Latine: 201 Asian: 107 Black: 86 Native American: 62 Others, including unspecified mixed race: 8
Born in the United States:
Yes: 670 No: 85
(I separated the next two questions this time around, purely because that one Georgia answer that I couldn't definitively place as country or US state irked me that much lol)
State of birth:
California: 115 Washington DC: 84 Massachusetts: 79 Nevada: 62 Arizona: 39 Oregon: 24 Maryland: 23 Texas: 20 West Virginia: 17 New York: 16 Washington: 14 Virginia: 11 Utah: 8 New Mexico: 8 Colorado: 7 Michigan: 7 Maine: 6 Ohio: 6 Illinois: 6 Idaho: 5 Montana: 4 North Dakota: 4 Tennessee: 3 Louisiana: 3 Connecticut: 3 Pennsylvania: 3 Oklahoma: 3 North Carolina: 3 Alabama: 2 Minnesota: 2 Mississippi: 2 New Hampshire: 2 Rhode Island: 2 New Jersey: 2 Georgia: 2 Missouri: 2 List of ones: Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, Alaska, Wisconsin, Delaware, Nebraska, Wyoming
I had to leave out answers giving a general region rather than a specific state for the sake of the map, unfortunately. Also, even though Canada was annexed by the US in the Fallout universe, I've still counted it as a separate country.
Non-US country of birth:
Canada: 25 UK: 10 Russia: 8 Mexico: 8 France: 4 China: 2 Iceland: 2 Japan: 2 Ireland: 2 Australia: 2 Eastern Europe generally: 2 Philippines: 2 List of ones: Poland, Bolivia, Bangladesh, Southern Europe generally, Lebanon, Guatemala, Greece, Denmark, Bermuda, New Zealand, Ghana, Italy, Hong Kong, Turkey, Spain, Argentina, Norway, Portugal
Sexuality:
Bi or pan: 403 Gay or lesbian: 163 Straight: 102 Ace: 84 Demi: 7 Questioning: 4 Queer: 2 List of ones: aro, grey ace, omnisexual, achillean, sapphic, and... robosexual
Primary approach to solving problems:
Diplomacy: 337 Combat: 172 Stealth: 130 Technical skills: 122
Combat style:
Small guns: 326 Melee: 120 Energy weapons: 112 Big guns: 97 Avoid combat: 47 Unarmed: 35 Explosives: 23
Karma:
Good: 307 Very Good: 189 Neutral: 155 Changes during storyline: 66 Very Evil: 23 Evil: 20
And finally, companion preferences:
One at a time: 331 Multiple at a time: 312 Travel alone: 118
-
Next, it’s time to start formulating and testing hypotheses! A few ideas I already have are...
Companion travelling preferences are influenced by the mechanics of the companion system in the game a character comes from
Courier Six is more likely than other protagonists to identify as anything other than cis
Male Sole Survivors (presuming that they are taking the role of 'Nate', a veteran) are more likely to be combat-focused, and female SoSus ('Nora', a lawyer) are more likely to rely on diplomacy (general idea is whether or not the pre-made backstory of the SoSu has had a significant impact, or people are more likely to just do away with it in favour of their own story)
The Lone Wanderer is more likely than others to be a Ghoul (this one's purely because I've seen a lot of people turn their LWs into Ghouls)
(this one was suggested by my brother, and I'm not fully sure where he got the idea, but it would be really cool if a correlation did turn up) Characters who definitively spent time in a Vault (Vault Dweller, Lone Wanderer, Sole Survivor and Vault 76 Resident) are more likely to favour a diplomatic approach than others
If anyone has any more ideas they’d like to see, please let me know, and I’ll let you know if it’s feasible or not. The analysis I’m most familiar with is the ANOVA, which work best with hypotheses that can be phrased like ‘X group is more (or less) likely than Y group to have Z characteristic‘, but I’ll consider any ideas you may have!
