FNV Minor Character Poll - Preliminary Voting Round 5-A: First Recon

Top left: Cpl. Betsy, lady killer. —"Don't take this the wrong way, but girl, it's a damn good thing you're hot. That sarcasm blew right over your head, didn't it?"

Top middle: Sgt. Bitter Root, former Great Khan. —"When NCR slaughtered the Khans at Bitter Springs, I hadn't got my beat-down yet. I was still too young. Way I see it, Bitter Springs was my beat-down. So afterward…I gave myself a name. It's all I've got from the Khans, and it's all I ever want."

Top right: Lt. Gorobets, squad leader. —"It's always hard to lose someone under your command. I hate writing the letter to their folks."

Bottom left: Cpl. Sterling, former Ranger and Legion escapee. —"Got a good memory for faces. Landmarks and such, too. Comes with practice, that's all."

Bottom right: Ten of Spades, novice and spotter. —"Just a little st-st-stutter. Had it since I was a kid. Doesn't stop me from k-kickin' ass"

The NCR Top Brass - Chief Hanlon, General Lee Oliver, and Lt. Gorobets, for Fallout: Wasteland Warfare. Many thanks to Modiphius for the review copies!

a family doesn’t have to be a mom and a dad. a family can be an exhausted lieutenant, a disabled ranger, an ex-khan, a lesbian, and a farm boy with a stutter. a family can be five snipers with red berets.

Alright, this is technically 2 but answer one or both if you want: 1) the NCR first Recon and their team dynamic? I.e Gorobets is their CO, but Sterling is the grandfather/elderly advice? 2) Bitter-Root and Major Dhatri father/son dynamic? Such as: Does Bitter-Root call Dhatri dad in private? Frequent letters, do they talk about Bitter Springs at all?

ooohh, this is my jam!!  (only for part 1 but i might come back for part 2 later)

The first recon is most definitely a family unit, like, they casually call each other by familiar terms (most common is sister/brother, maybe cousin every once in a while, but they do endearingly call sterling either “old man” or “gramps”)

although gorobets is technically their leader, a lot of them do look towards sterling for advice.  In the wasteland, old age is a sure sign that that person knows something useful.

bitter-root comes across as the scary older brother.  the “if you mess with my family i will stone cold murder you” type.  but, it turns out he’s actually pretty chill when you hang out with him.  he will murder if you hurt his family, though.

betsy is your cool older sister that you’re always low-key jealous of.  you want advice on how to score that cute girl?  too late, she’s betsy’s now.

10 is, of course, the darling little brother that everyone would die for.  although they know he can take care of himself, the fact remains that he’s new to the field, so they all like to make sure he’s good

and finally, gorobets, who tries to at like their father but he tends to come across as a stern, older brother.
