6,7,11,12, 49, damn so many cool questions
6. What are their perks?
Oh god, I can’t remember all of them (and im gonna mix up traits for this) but his main ones are Good Natured, Wild Wasteland, Logan’s Loophole, and... i guess Confirmed Bachelor, but that one doesn’t entirely count (and really serves to answer question 9 than anything LOL)
7. Favourite companions? Least favourite companions?
Oh come on, this one’s easy. He absolutely, completely, 100% loves and adores Arcade, and that feeling is always mutual. As for least-favourite.. well, he doesn’t hate any of them but he’s certainly not big fans of Boone or Cass.
11. when, why and how did they become a courier? how long did they remain a courier before benny shot them?
He became a courier not long after leaving the Capital Wasteland (So about a year after the first battle for the dam); He was a courier for about... 3 or 4 years, most of those years spent looking for John (who vanished not long after one of Dexter’s more secretive deliveries; something about an NCR fella and another brother named “Ulysses,” but it’s nothing he remembers too clearly.)
He was certain John was dead by that point; and he won’t admit it but he was almost glad he got ambushed - if anything, it meant he wouldn’t be mad at anyone anymore. Not James, not John, not himself... Nobody. Funny how things never turn out quite like they expect.
12. how did the bullet affect them?
He lost his eye, and has a funky scar in his temple, but that’s all physical damage - He has no memory of the years between leaving the Capital Wasteland and waking up in Goodsprings. As far as he can remember, he left DC with John... and then turned up, four years older, John full of robot parts and being very confused in an old man’s house. Poor John has to fill Dex in on what he remembers (Which isn’t much, considering he fucked off to Big MT while Dex caused the events of Lonesome Road, whoopsie!)
