Description ~Spoilers for Fallout: New Vegas~

So, with the news of more DLC coming up for New Vegas on July 19th (a day before my birthday ), and plus I’ve been playing some of the DLC for Fallout 3 that I never played, I’ve been in a Fallout mood. And with the news that Ulysses is going to make an appearance in the next DLC, and a bigger one in the fourth DLC, I’ve been wanting to incorporate Ulysses into Samuel Hawkins’ back story. Obviously, I have no idea whether or not this is canon (not that I really care, since Samuel Hawkins has evolved into, at least in “head”-canon, one of the most developed OC’s I’ve created that was created in-game), but I like the idea that the Courier and Ulysses were childhood friends. I plan on eventually sharing more of Samuel Hawkin’s back story through a post-game comic series based on some exiled/escaping Vault Dwellers from Vault 42 (still working out the details—plus I know it’s silly that I want to start ANOTHER project when I’ve still got so many others...but EH, my muse is terribly flighty). [On a side note, THERE NEEDS TO BE POST-GAME FOR THIS, YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVE ME WITH A CONQUERING ARMY AND NOT LET ME CONQUER >:C]


I was thinking about doing something to celebrate the coming of the Meet the Medic video, but EH, as I said—flighty muse. But I do still have something small planned (and a FALLOUT crossover, no less XD)


ALSO, I kinda picture Samuel as the shy kid of parents who are very social until Ulysses befriends him by sharing in his passion for learning, and eventually helps Samuel branch out. IN ADDITION, I think this is the first time I’ve posted Samuel without sunglasses! But he does really need glasses, with the Four-Eye perk and all.


Samuel Hawkins belongs to me
Fallout: New Vegas & Ulysses belong to Bethesda (although my young!Ulysses design)

Well, 30 years (or rather 25 or 26 to be more accurate) in an alternate universe of New Vegas, since I've already heard enough about the DLC to know it's not canon T__T. But I like to think it still went down this way at least for my own courier

I have to say that I've been thinking of writing a fanfiction of F:NV but I couldn't think of a way to incorporate Ulysses. But after seeing this I have a pretty good idea how to, I'm just going to wait until Lonesome Road comes out to work out some more ideas. Thanks.

Also Ulysses looks awesome in this, I like how Ulysses is trying to point out what's in the book to the player character. They are adorable here, haha.

Hehe, you're welcome X3--but yeah, part of me wants to wait until Lonesome Road comes out, but my imagination won't let me wait XP

D'aw, thanks X3

Hm...ya know, I do see what you mean! Although, I feel like the Ulysses doesn't look Scottish enough to entirely convince me that he is a young demoman XD

...haha, good point XD. Idk, I suppose I don't really think of dreadlocks as a popular hairstyle in the UK, but I don't know the facts.

Plus, in my head!canon, this is what the demoman looks like as a kid: [link]

."And at the Divide, he and I - there, we'll have an ending to things."

The message ends and I'm there waiting in Cayon wreckage. Holorifle resting against the briefcase, whilst I lean against the wooden wall with the graffiti Lonesome Road...

Thats my tale wrapped up on my main file right now I saved it and the screenshot pretty much follows what I just written. I like how you have a story set up thats what I love with fallout in general.

I'm glad you like it ! Your tale sounds pretty epic as well...although Fallout by default is pretty epic B)

hanzo66 [2011-07-20 21:51:04 +0000 UTC]

Well, with the new DLC out, what's known of Ulysses is that he's a Pre-War patriot whose goal is apparently to bring back the glory of the USA.

generalofdarkness In reply to hanzo66 [2011-09-18 17:08:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I hope to incorporate that into my head!canon, too...although I have a feeling that when the final DLC comes out, anything I thought of before hand will be invalidated >___>'

Well now that it's out... Let's just say that this is probably highly unlikely at the most.

generalofdarkness In reply to hanzo66 [2011-09-21 20:48:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I already have heard that according to canon that Ulysses has never met the courier before (still haven't started it yet T__T), but I think I'll keep it tucked away in my head canon

Cannox13 [2011-07-15 02:18:45 +0000 UTC]

There are many ideas as to why Ulysses wants to meet the Courier again. But here is a key point.

He thought the Mojave 'sort him out'. However, does that mean that he wanted it to kill him, or to teach him a lesson of some kind? Also note that Ulyssus was a farmer in the Mojave.

And if he does want to kill him, I bet the Courier delivered a package that somehow ruined Ulysses' life in some way. What's the the special connection between the two? We just have to wait...

Anyway, nice picture. Hope you continue.

generalofdarkness In reply to Cannox13 [2011-09-18 17:14:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm trying to incorporate all that is known about Ulysses, but since the new DLC will probably make anything I think of non-canon, I might take some liberties with his back story for my head!canon

And thanks! I don't know yet what exactly I'm going to do yet so far as illustrating it, but I'll probably have a few more deviations before my muse moves on to something else

Cannox13 In reply to generalofdarkness [2011-09-18 19:18:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I do. And I'm really embarresed that it came from MY comment. Oh well, that's trolling for you. What are gonna do about it?

generalofdarkness In reply to Cannox13 [2011-09-18 20:03:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, don't worry about it, I was simply curious, since I don't always notice all the comment trees in my deviations when they're not attached to my own. I was just surprised that this particular picture would somehow trigger that conversation. Heh, I'm not going to do anything about it, since it's rather light-hearted compared to other conversations I've see in my friends deviations or journals.

That's the only reason Ulysses follows u! or u follow him, since they mention him in every single DLC
