[TrollDemon]

Name: Robin Kimura

 

Gender: Female

 

Age:19

 

Race:Asian

 

Combat Style:Prefers diplomacy. But she can use a power fist or a scoped hunting rifle when need be. (picking off enemies before they spot her is her style). Likes to be sneaky.

 

Specialties:She's more of a diplomatic type and knows how to persuade even the Legate or Oliver to step down and look at the big picture.

 

Weaknesses:Bad with explosives. Really bad. Also bad with anything related to throwing. Once she throws something it's more than likely it'll be at her feet. She is also not computer savvy, though she is an expert on old world technology and medicine.

 

Likes:Nice people. People who see the big picture. Sex. (She did it with a man who shot her in the head. From my viewpoint how could I say she's not sex-addicted) Flirting. Mr. House, Yes Man (for being hilarious), Open-mindedness, shooting at fiends, looting corpses, HOARDING, the Old World, flirting with people, Science, Cass and Veronica. (she thinks they're a pair of colorful people in a Dark world colorless world), love and loyalty.

 

Dislikes: THE LEGION, anything Legion related, the Legion, the NCR to a point, (she's a history buff and does not approve of the NCR taking over the Mojave in an eerie repeat of America's manifest destiny), Old world America, thinking that they lost their ideals in the final years of the high point of civilization, and Caesar. The only thing that kept her from killing that hypocritical man was the fact that Mr. House asked her not to do so, the Vipers and jackals, and the FIENDS.

 

Wants: Progress, to see Mr. House succeed in his dream of turning New Vegas into a vision of the Old World (the whole Brotherhood-Mr. House speech check thing. (you need a mod) thing got me thinking that an alliance could be formed. If I could convince the Legate Lanius that the Hoover Dam campaign was doomed to fail and Oliver to go back to California with his group of NCR veterans then the Brotherhood should be able to do the same considering she became a member)

 

Fears: Being sold into slavery, become a piece of meat for an officer, ghosts and aliens, insects, Cazadors, and Nightkin because they remind her of ghosts.

 

Friendly Factions: The Great Khans, Mr. House, the NCR (although kept at arms length), Followers of the Apocalypse, the inhabitants of Jacobstown, Goodsprings, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Kings, and the Yakuza (fallout 2)

 

Enemy Factions: Caesars Legion, the Fiends, the Vipers, the Jackals, the Powder Gangers, and the NCR to a point.

 

Companions: Veronica and Cass.

 

Love interest?: Cass. She flirts with her and she gets freaked out pretty easily when she does that. After a bottle of whiskey and helping her with the Caravan she eventually warmed up to the idea. (on a side note she led Veronica back to the Sierra Madre where she and Christine had a happy yet creepy reunion due to the amount of Ghost People in the vicinity.)

 

Parents: Two tribals that fled once they heard the Blackfoot tribe turned into a brutal merciless killing force called Caesar's Legion.

 

Early life: Born to an unremarkable tribe in the Western section of the Colorado. The tribe had descended from a mixture of the Asian tourists and Caucasion locals that were there when the bombs fell. Splintered at first due to race, soon they started integrating slowly with one another. Eventually the Hapa tribe was formed and they prospered in the Colorado Rockies partly due to a passing Mormon by the name of Joshua Graham who taught them in the ways of domestication of the wild Bighorners. Before that, they had a great understanding of agriculture but the winters were brutal to the tribe due to a unsteady amount of skins and preserved meat. Now that they had a steady supply of both they were spared the horrors of the Great Freeze. When Joshua was asked why he was there he explained he was on his way to Arizona but decided to take a small detour and help spread the faith of Mormonism to the local tribes as well as to look at the wilderness and mountain ranges of Colorado that remained largely untouched from the Great War of 2077. After waiting out the winter he eventually made his way back to I-15 and soon the ill-fated meeting between a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse known as Edward Sallow began. The Hapas heard of tales of a Great Bull tribe in the South conquering all that they see. Eventually tales turned into reality as they became Caesar's legion's 34th conquered tribe. her father and mother tried to fled in the fires that engulfed the once beautiful village, but while escaping through the Rockies a Legion patrol ambushed the family, killing the father with a spear and dragged the Mother back into Legion territory. At age 13 she had already learned to fend for herself and was adapt with a rifle and alright with a pistol. After getting lost and going even further west, she eventually ran into and joined with a band of the Followers of Apocalypse who were on their way to New Reno. there she learned what the Old World was like by an old historian named Wilhelm who recalled the Old World as if he were really there. The only other people who could recall things before the Great War in vivid detail were Ghouls and Super Mutants. When asked, he simply he stated that a place called Mariposa was more than just a birthplace of the Master and the Super Mutants. Whatever Mariposa was. All that she knew about the place is what she heard from the few Super Mutants she ran across she heard them talk in great detail about someone called "The Master" and "Mariposa. It didn't matter to her one way or another. She was fascinated by pre-war tech and she aimed to look for, fix, preserve, and create more technology that could benefit human kind. She became friends with a group called the Yakuza who reminded her of her old tribe

 

Teen years: At age 17, after helping out the Followers for 4 years and learning everything she could learn. She heard of a city untouched by the bombs and shining in Old World Glory. Eager to see some more Old World Technology. She tearfully said goodbye to her friends in the Followers and the Yakuza and travelled with a caravan called the Happy Trails Caravan Company who were hoping to establish routes into New Vegas. Along the way she heard more stories of the Legion and their defeat at the hands of the NCR as well as the Burned Man. Shocked to find out how the Legion treated their women, she thought of the fate of her mother, who she now realized was living as some.....plaything for a legionary officer. The fact that the Burned Man was also the man who helped her tribe through its coldest winters was one of the founders of the Legion that turned her mother into a piece of meat and impaled her father nearly drew her over the edge, the Happy Trails Caravan guards felt that they should drop her but they felt quite better after she wiped out an entire Legion Patrol that was trying to raid them with only a katana. She swore that the Legion would pay for what they did to her tribe, and vowed to find the Burned Man. Not to kill him. But to ask him why. While entering the Mojave, the caravan leader had told her she needed at least 1000 caps to enter the Strip. Considering she was flat broke and the Caravan could only pay her 250 caps due to economic strains from the Crimson Caravan Company, she traveled to Primm where she heard she could find work as a Courier

 

How did he/she become a courier?: Became a courier to enter the strip and see the Old World wonders located in there. She was disappointed to learn that there were only three working hotels.

Teen years: It's not entirely known what happened. Lanius led the Legion into the town, and Joseph was the only one to escape. The slaughter of the townsfolk as well as his brother left him with a burning hatred of Legion.

 

How did he/she become a courier?: He found his way across the Colorado River just after the First Battle of Hoover Dam, with only the clothes on his back. He then spent the next four years planning and honing his skills with firearms, to prepare his goal: To destroy the Legion.

He funded his goal with caravan work and other small jobs. He eventually found himself taking the fateful delivery that would change the southwest forever.

Nice topic, good format.

 

Name: Danny "Dancer" Faenre (do not ask)

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Race: Caucasian

Combat Style: Usually uses one-handed guns, but sometimes has... lapses. (see below)

Specialties: Strong but agile, Danny is quick on his feet and in his head. Is good with guns, close combat techniques, and reasoning with people.

Weaknesses: Can lapse into odd periods of sub-conscious direction during battle.

Likes: A good weapon, being a wise guy, dancing, music, whiskey

Dislikes: Useless or foolish people, raiders, evil acts, and cazadores

Wants: To start a successful community.

Fears: Letting those he knows die.

Friendly Factions: NCR, BoS, Followers, Boomers, Great Khans, Freeside

Enemy Factions: Legion, The Strip

Companions: Traveled with Boone for a short time, Veronica longer, and Cass longer than that. ED-E is also a constant.

Love interest?: Cass. No one has ever matched his smart mouth or drinking capacity other than her.

Parents: Kyran and Jaena Faenre, both mercenaries.

Early life: Back in California, he was raised by Kyran to be a quick draw and Jaena to be a smart-mouth, Danny was given a good life on the road, killing his first raider with his BB gun when he was ten.

Teen years: Around fourteen, he discovered he had an odd... condition. At one time he and his parents were pinned down by a large raiding party, about twelve strong. Having been low on ammo, and thinking they were going to die, Danny's father started singing an old dirge he had used to see off friends that had died on the road. A little while after Danny heard his father singing, he blacked out. He returned to consciousness about ten minutes later, holding a combat knife in each hand and the bodies of every raider lying on the ground around him, his parents staring at him from behind cover. He was told that he had leaped the barricade, jumped down into the midst of them, and had started dancing through them, slashing them to pieces. Ever since, during combat Danny will sometimes hear the song in his head, black out, and start up the dance.

How did he/she become a courier?: Honestly, he does not know. He was helping his parents on a caravan trip to the Mojave when they were attacked. He blacked out, and when he next woke up, he was in Primm. He was heading to Vegas anyway, so he thought he may as well make some money.
