Description A while back when I saw this awesome Fallout character sheet , I knew eventually I had to do it for both my New Vegas and Fallout 3 OCs. Thank you so much for the great template, DarthSuki !

I first played New Vegas in the summer of 2011, a couple of months after the animated movie "Rango" released, which is still one of my favorites and also happens to take place in the Mojave Desert. As a result it ended up inspiring the character I created, as Priscilla here is named and designed moderately after one of its minor characters, though Mattie Ross from the classic western film "True Grit" was definitely also an influence.

Priscilla is from a small settlement in the Mojave just off of the in-game map, while her father is basically the Fallout universe equivalent to Rango himself; a man with no memory of who he is that wanders into town and in an attempt to form some kind of identity for himself, ends up becoming sheriff and saving the town from a threat to its water supply. Almost 2 decades later, his daughter, eager to take her first big independent step into adulthood, lands a courier job with the Mojave Express. We all know how that turns out, but at least it allows her to be saved by the man of her dreams, even if he is a robot...

She's a bright, optimistic, adventurous lass who wears her heart on her sleeve, with a strong sense of justice and desire to help people. Although she'll opt for a peaceful solution where possible, Priscilla realizes not everyone can be reasoned with and as such also really enjoys fighting bad guys... maybe a little too much, given her intense love of cool guns and collecting them. Since she's only 18 with a small stature, sometimes getting mistaken for being even younger, she often doesn't get taken seriously, something she quickly learns to use to her advantage. After all, no one expects a "cute little girl" to sabotage your plans then shoot you in the face.

Possibly her greatest achievement, however, is that she manages to somehow find a way into the cold, shriveled, 261-year-old heart of Robert E. House. Of all the people House could've partnered with in the events surrounding the Platinum Chip and the Battle for Hoover Dam, he never would've expected a hopeful, bright-eyed, innocent young girl who against all odds helps him to rekindle the humanity he's lost touch with. Sure, it helps she's smitten with one of his AI creations, but since their first meeting Priscilla has always believed that deep down, House is a good person doing his best to aid the world, post-apocalyptic or otherwise. Perhaps he just needs a little warmth inside that snow globe of his to remind him...

In other words, A Very Wholesome Courier, pretty much the exact opposite of the character I would later make in Fallout 3...

Really? Aw gosh that means a lot to me, especially since I feel like Pris is a lot different from the Couriers that most NV players create, even the good karma ones. Thank you again, seriously!!
