Your Characters Story?

[Dusk_Sunlight]

I know a lot of us use Another Life or similar mods. So, purely for my own curiosity, what is your character's background?

 

As I'm asking, I shall start ❤️

 

Dawn:

Her past is a tad complicated. She started as a somewhat naive settler, then after a raid she became a slave, just a toy to be passed around until she killed the boss. She eventually turned raider herself when she fled to nuka world after the incident. Now she's trying to clean up her act and make amends to those she hurt in those chem fuelled raids. But she has a habit of bad choices and life decisions... She's torn on the brotherhood or the Institute with all their shiny toys, surely they would be better in her hands? (Spoiler, she's absolutely the wrong hands).

 

Dusk:

Waking in Vault 111 she's not exactly torn up over her husband's passing. A result of an arranged marriage which honestly wasn't terrible, she finds herself with the freedom to be who she wants... at the cost of the world of safety she knew. Now she's trying to figure out just what she wants out of this new life, whilst trying to avoid the raiders shock collars, the various faction's growing political foolery and all the other dangers in the wasteland. It would help if she could hit anything with a firearm, but she will stick to her sledgehammer for the time being... She's sure that will go brilliantly for her...

Hm. I'm game.

I have 3 of my own, although one i'm still feeling out and adjusting. 

I still need to work on a character for the institute... not thought up a good one yet.

 

Harper (Not her real name)     -Will join the Minutemen.

Originally from Vault 111 she stepped out an innocent wide eyed woman, unprepared for the world. She hooks up with a group who claim their just starting up as a merchant group, unfortunately for her camp that night finds her drugged and chained, their not interested in normal merch. She remembers travelling, she remembers bright lights, music, laughter and hot dusty days. When she finally gets pulled out of the chem and alcohol haze she's been kept in for almost two years she finds herself at a Ranger outpost in New Vegas.

She becomes a ranger after the events on NV doing a lot of clean up, eventually she decided she needs to reclaim her life, she doesn't recall if 111 is real or a fever dream from the torments she underwent, she arranges for travel with the BoS then a trade caravan as a guard then a boat. By the time she reaches Boston she finds herself near Egret Tours Marina with her little dingy sunk. All she has left is a pipboy she found with a trader showing off the area on it's map, her ranger suit and helmet and a revolver with a single reload. Time to find out if it was all just a dream or if she really is from before the war and to find out if she does have a child.

 

Megan  -Will join the Railroad

Formerly a detective before she went into law, she was rather adept at making herself a problem for a lot of people in both roles. She met Nate after he returned from service and the two didn't exactly see eye to eye but sometimes these things work themselves out. They eventually came to an arrangement with one another when she felt it was getting a little too dangerous with how violent the underworld was becoming and needed a career shift, Nate had a reputation for always crippling those who crossed him and very few would mess with the both of them, so they married and she became 'The devoted wife and mother' of his child from the gal he returned home too and he would be 'The upstanding vet and husband.' In truth the arrangement brought safety, a good income for them both and a much rougher and demanding physical aspect as she fit into the role of his 'Prey'. But less than a year into the arrangement everything goes down and she emerges from 111 alone. Heading home she's glad to find her old kit is still hidden under the false floor in the bedroom, though worn down with time.

The world is much more dangerous than even her previous profession prepared her for but the detective is going to kick off the rust and find her husbands kid, she at least owes him that much, and if she can get her cravings itched in the process then so be it!

 

Joanna - Brotherhood. (Still working on her looks)

A clerk for the Armey before becoming legal council for returning vets she knows how to fight, how to field strip a weapon and how to (at least basically) pilot a suit of power armour. Stepping out of 111 the world has hell to pay for taking her damn near perfect life from her. A strong man with respectable field commendations -even if he did come with a kid, a well paying job and a reputation not to be crossed in the courtroom or out.

Finding an abandoned suit of power armour she begins the process of learning how to put it all back together, along with heavy weapons she's going to make her annoyance everyone else's problem, well aware that the raiders, mutants and probably even the settlers want nothing more than to strip her down and tie her to her own armour for their enjoyment, she doesn't trust a soul not to turn on her in this dangerous land but when the BoS show up it's a spark of hope, a spark of what was.

Maybe she doesn't have to burn the world down to the ground to rebuild, maybe there is something to be salvaged after all.
