Idea
Beast Tamer SoSu
This is long and random but bare with me here
Sole survivor who is simply known as “The beast tamer” and they can tame pretty much any animal. Like they have a baby deathclaw with them at the time and it’s an albino and it will lay in their lap or curled up beside them all protective like because they are basically the mother to the deathclaw and all the animals they tame they treat like their own children. Like they’re known for providing settlements with protection such as pacified mirlurks if they live by the ocean, or mutant hounds to patrol the boarders.
The first time the companions meet the sole survivor aka “The Beast Tamer” they have their baby albino Deathclaw curled up beside them and a Mutant hound curled up behind them. They also have some regular junk-yard dogs with them, and some wolves from far-harbor too, possibly even a baby gatorclaw egg? Oh and we can’t forgot a couple of cats in the general area. Maybe even some birds? Like the sole survivor is just humming some lullaby to the Deathclaw and they’re just like “oh hello. What can I do for you?” All calm like they’re not surrounded by a bunch of dangerous animals.
Like I can imagine a Full grown deathclaw walking up behind them and acting like a big baby wanting attention and 10/10 the sole survivor would let Deacon name one of the deathclaw hatchlings Fluffy.
I can also see the BoS trying to recruit them because they could get even more powerful allies on their side. Even if they were abominations, however due to that notion the sole survivor wouldn’t side with them because that would mean the BoS would wipe out their animal friends.
And now, for a couple companions and what I think kind of animal they would get from the sole survivor.
Nick - Dogmeat or a Junk-yard dog, dogmeat would probably be his first pick and since he already knows dogmeat. But who wouldn’t want two dogs who can kick ass and help you track down suspects?
Hancock - he would probably try and convince sole he was responsible enough to look after some type of Claw’ but would end up with a super mutant hound instead and would end up loving it. The hound would be super loving too, of its new owner once its gotten use to them, and sole has taught Hancock the proper care. Or maybe even a snake if they managed to survive, ((just imagine Hancock carrying around this tiny little garder snake in his hand.))
Deacon - no secret he would want to keep the Claw’ he named fluffy but Desdemona would probably say no, but deacon would keep it anyway. Probably sneak out to meet Sole so the Claw’ and it’s mom got use to Deacon and knew it could trust Deacon with its child.
X6 - He would probably get some cats, he seems more like a cat person and the cats would definitely fit him. They’d probably learn to perch onto his shoulder and do commands (somehow this man has extreme patients) that would get the cat to do certain small tasks.
Preston - He’d probably be very hesitant about letting the animals into the settlements at first but after seeing how the kids like to the play with the dogs ((who are very gentle with the kids)) he’ll let them slide. Though personally I do think he’d probably like cats much like X6 does. But still loves to play with the Junk-yard dogs.
Maccready - absolutely not, he would be terrified out of his mind when he saw Duncan petting some Deathclaw sole had tamed. Oh god he wouldn’t want anything to do with them at first, but I think in the end he’d get a bird. Seems fitting for a sniper a birds eye view if you will. Maybe a crow or a raven, or a red-tailed hawk if they still survived. ((Bonus ; almost had a heart attack when he finds sole trying to teach Duncan how to tame the animals like Deathclaws))
Piper - some kind of marmot if they survived and it would probably be a Ferret let’s be real here. Nat would love it to death and much like Duncan might get caught taking some lessons from sole though Piper might be a little more forgiving if she got a five hour interview with sole.

Not a soul :
Nick Valentine: [mentions something about coolant or cigarettes]
My dumbass : [aggressively begins to collect cigarette cartons and coolant]
Based off of true events, please,, I was dumb,, I thought he’d actually appreciate them and then I realized,, “oh,, Wait he just says that stuff—oh god I’ve been doing this for nothing-.”
Here’s another old post, it’s been sitting in my drafts for quite some time to, so enjoy this amalgamation of an idea
Fallout 4 character ideas
Diamond Jack like Au ?? I was watching it again recently and listening to the music, and thought what if that was the sole survivor?
where SS was a major criminal that was never caught but the (Pre-War) Nick Valentine had what seemed thousands of cases full of evidence for them, but they kept themselves anonymous and well hidden but suddenly their crime spree went cold, because SS had found Nora/Nate and decided to give up their life of crime to settle down with Nora/Nate. Promising that they’ll always be the best person they can be, not just for Nate/Nora, not just for Shaun, but for themselves as well.
They committed huge crimes, but if you inspected the files, they never killed anyone. But only were found stealing valuable items that turned out to be rigged to explode later. They had saved many lives however unfortunately in the eyes of the law, they still stole and broke into events. However as far as anyone could know, they could have planted the bomb themselves. They also did Robin Hood like crimes, stealing from the rich giving to the poor. So there was that on their record.
When the bombs fall, and they wake up. They stay true to that promise. Not committing a single crime, (well side from hacking terminals and stealing from raiders but hey! They have to survive somehow), because they found leads, still on the search for their son, when they finally find Nick on their own accord and when they bust him out. It’s not the SS who recognizes Nick, it’s the other way around. Nick is the first to recognize them from the files he had been able to recover.
“I can’t believe it...After all this time, the very criminal I-...He was tryin’ to hunt down just waltz’s in to save my life.”
“Better believe it, but I’m not the villain everyone makes me out to be.”
Ngl I can honestly see my fallout 4 character (Lavender, lav for short) just like, raising a baby deathclaw from an egg. Like she finds a deathclaw egg next to a dead deathclaw and deciding on her own to take it in and then loudly announcing to her settlement. That she will be raising this Deathclaw egg while Nick and Preston are trying to convince her not to like “holy shit Lav, please,,, for the love of the atom bomb don’t do this,, oh my lord you’re so stupid”
all while Hancock and Deacon are just like, “FUCK YEAH LETS RAISE A DEATHCLAW” and “IM GOING TO NAME IS FLUFFY” while the others are yelling at them, “DON’T ENCOURAGE THEM” and Dogmeat’s just highly confused by everything but rolling with it. and then like, she ends up actually raising it and you just see this women, with a sniper rifle, and leader of the Minutemen, just chilling and some raider goes to fuck with her settlement and like all they see is this big ass hulking Deathclaw charging at them and yeeting them into the atmosphere.
But like the Deathclaw is totally a mamma’s boy and is just like
“Are you proud mom?? I protected the settlement mom!! Are you proud??”
And Lav’s just like “yes I am very proud.” Like she loves everyone equally but it’s very obvious that she picks favorites (cough cough Dogmeat and her deathclaw). Like this women takes everything in, no matter what. Like by now, everyone just a knows Lav as not the General of the Minutemen, no no no, But as “I tame every creature don’t fuck with me” women.
