bad bitch clover… so sad that there’s no companion quest that explores her background/helps with her trauma

[stoat-party]

Welcome to the wasteland, 19-year-old child! I guess you’ll be needing a partner in this dangerous wilderness, huh? Pick one:

Sketchy robot

Not technically a slave

Literal actual sexual predator

no this one is really a slave, yeah she’s being held against her will

Hypercompetent family friend [YOU HAVE NOT ACCRUED ENOUGH TRAUMA TO UNLOCK]

Guy you’ve known your entire life [YOU HAVE NOT ACCRUED ENOUGH TRAUMA TO UNLOCK]

Kind, helpful walking tank [YOU HAVE NOT ACCRUED ENOUGH TRAUMA TO UNLOCK]

Sole Survivor: “Preston, they have you outnumbered 9 to 1.”

Preston: “Then it’s a fair fight, general.”

Idk does it bother anyone else that people focus what would happen if you freed Charon from his brainwashing but next to nobody has came up with concepts of helping Clover? Literally most of the posts that I have seen for her is how Bethesda never should've included her as a follower because she's a slave but let's not forget that Charon is too I'm not saying that's a good thing I'm just saying maybe we should talk more about helping Clover the same way we talk about helping Charon because both of them deserve to have their own independence and freedom

This is a job I did in class.

I admit that several things went wrong, hands in particular, but I tried.

I decided to draw a picture of all the companions of fallout 3.

Fallout: Mass Effect AU/Crossover [2/?]

FO3 Companions reimagined as Mass Effect Squadmates + Bonus LW

Butch DeLoria - Vaal’Daris nar Vayyam | Dossier: Quarian Pilgrim. A young quarian delinquent who wants to start his Pilgrimage so he may escape his life on the Vayyam. He dreams of having his own ship and forming his own crew. Recruitment location: The Migrant Fleet.

Charon - Kharon | Dossier: Hired Muscle. A drell assassin trained under the Compact, who mysteriously ended up as a bodyguard for a batarian bartender and drug smuggler in Afterlife, where he acts as the bouncer too. Rumors are he’s discontent with this arrangement. Recruitment location: Omega.

Clover - Calinth | Dossier: The Servant. An asari prostitute who was captured by batarian slavers in her youth, brainwashed to follow whoever owns her. A competent biotic, she is currently serving a slave broker in Eternity. Recruit location: Illium

Star Paladin Cross - High Commander Crucis | Dossier: Veteran Turian. A turian high commander who chose to continue serving after the mandatory 15-year conscriptions turians go through. The years are getting to her, and she’s looking for one last mission before she retires. Recruit location: The Citadel.

Fawkes - Forryth Drox | Dossier: The Mutant. A Krogan warrior shunned by his kind because of his noble, pacifist ideals, an anomaly among Krogan males. He was betrayed by one of his own clanmates and ended up in Purgatory, locked up in maximum security. Recruit location: Purgatory.

Jericho - Ghorak | Dossier: Ex-Con. An old batarian working as security for the Blue Suns in the Gozu District. He is rumored to be an ex-convict from Purgatory who managed to rise to power in the mercenary group, but his fellow mercenaries think he’s too old for any real action now. Recruit location: Omega.

Dogmeat - Dax | Tuchanka: Forlorn Varren. A varren who just lost his krogan master in a clan war. Ferociously loyal, and can be tamed by a little love and pyjak meat. Recruitment location: Tuchanka

Sergeant RL-3 - RL3. | Migrant Fleet: VI for Sale. A VI, particularly a combat drone, can be acquired from a quarian in exchange for supplies. Recruitment location: Random

Bonus: My Lone Wanderer as a squadmate: Persephone “Percy” Zhou - Fera’Zael nar Vayyam | Dossier: Wandering Scientist. She is a young quarian scientist whose father was accused of treason and exiled by the Vayyam’s captain while she is on Pilgrimage. She wants to know what happened to him, but she’s stuck in Omega after incurring a debt in Afterlife. Recruitment location: Omega.

Author’s Notes: See below.

Oh boy this was fun to write and research!

Naming Butch was a little difficult, but him being a young Vault Dweller who wanted to explore the outside (who, according to Doc Mitchell, have weaker immune systems due to the sterile environment of the vaults) drew an almost perfect parallel to a young quarian who’s excited to leave the Flotilla for his Pilgrimage, so I endured the research. I can totally see quarian!Butch freaking the hell out the first time he experiences a suit rupture, complaining that places outside the Flotilla smells so bad that he has to replace his filters often. and accidentally consuming levo food.

Charon’s contract could easily be analogous to the Compact, and his name was easy to adapt into Drell (Feron, Kolyat, Rakhana). Plus, Thane’s last name Krios is from Greek mythology, and so is Kharon, the alternate spelling for Charon’s name, so it’s basically a no-brainer at this point. It also helps that there’s a bar in Omega called Afterlife, which can act as a parallel to Fallout’s Underworld/Ninth Circle. Additionally, Charon wears dark leather armor anyway. He’ll probably look good in drell clothing.

Fawkes reminded me of Wrex in his own way, being an exile among their kind (though Wrex evolves past that and leads clan Urdnot). Add Fawkes’ nigh-indestructible nature and bloodlust, plus the Super Mutant’s sterility that could parallel the krogans’ sterility from the genophage, and being a badass krogan would be a good fit with him.

I don’t have much to say on the other humanoid companions because I’m not as invested in them emotionally as those three, but I did my best to make sure their counterparts stayed true to the essence of their characters! (I lost all creativity on RL-3 though. Sigh.) The easiest ones to do are probably Charon’s and Butch’s counterparts.

I think I’ll draw them after I finish my current comic project or in-between inking pages. Who knows? Maybe these counterparts might evolve into characters of their own one day! I hope you guys enjoyed this!
