Happy 9th Birthday, Fallout 4
...(my beloved)
Featuring: my first OC Yasmin, my current OCs Vin, Skyler & Lore.
This game opened up a retro-sci-fi apocalyptic oasis of inspiration and most importantly, new friends. It's my art therapy and Tumblr is my fandom home; Ao3 is my cosy library and my Twitch channel is my open invitation for you to come and enjoy my Fallout characters with me.
Happy Fallout 4 Anniversary!
Hey, lovely AotA folk, may I request Overboss Lore in E10, please? I liked the idea of seeing Lorelei in semi-shadow, it seemed appropriate to her character.
Have a great weekend!

"You did not just knock off my glasses..."
Art-Swap August!
I'm aware that some people who would love to commission fan art are just not in a position to do so, I've been there often. So, here's an idea:
I will draw seven pieces. Pick one of my OCs - first come, first served so I need you to comment on this post with your choice, so everyone can see which are available. I'll DM you for details and refs of your character - an OC from any Fallout; except Option 7 which must be a Non-Player Character.
You don't have to be able to draw! (Though I will happily accept any level of ability, this is for fun and practice) OR you could write a little drabble featuring them (search their tags, included in this post; browse my blog, get to know them).
Vincent 'Nate' Hudson (Fo4) @the-laridian
Skyler Katrijnora Woods (Fo4)
Overboss Lore (Lorelei) (Fo4)
'Lucky' Ricky Gee (Fo76)
Enid Halversen (Fo76) @the-lastcall-main
Ezme Washburne (Fo3)
Pick an NPC - NOT a companion, one of the background extras - that you associate with me and I'll draw your fave NPC, from any Fallout.
Comment with your choice below! Comments in tags will not be counted (though feel free to reblog). This mini challenge will run until all options have been picked / end of Aug. I look forward to drawing your blorbos.
My OC Rainbow - Part 1
Fallout 4: Vin, Lore & Skyler
Vin & Mac
These two, my original blorbos, *sigh* 🥰 are both Bisexual. Vincent Nathaniel Hudson was the second Fallout 4 character I ever made and the first I got attached to (sorry, Yasmin; she taught me the ropes, though).
Vin used to go by 'Nate' in his army days, since there was another Vincent in his squad, so it's how he introduced himself to Nora when they met. Back when he thought he was straight... It took 210 years, some hefty trauma and one handsome, trusty companion to break down those pre-war walls. Now these two are together for life, Minutemen of Steel, geeky barbecue Dad/Pop and geeky gardner Dad/Pa. Vin is related to @radioactive-synth's Vaughn Zander. They were cousins but more like brothers.
Ao3 Fanfic: Vincent, Undefined and Vincent, Redefined plus other drabbles.
Overboss Lore & Porter Gage
Lorelei Leonora Laukannen (ex Mrs. Anderson) was an ex-marine and very good defense lawyer. She was part of the reason that companies like military sub-contractors and Vault-Tec literally got away with murder. JJ Anderson (gay, by the way) Nate's old army pal, stole his identity when he was declared missing, presumed dead. JJ and Lore ran shady deals together and got married to obtain the house in Sanctuary as cover. Having Shaun was just part of the deception. Lore is thriving as Overboss, favouring The Operators and their pets, The Pack. She is Aromantic and Demisexual. She desires to own Gage fully but as much as he adores, admires and fears her, he refuses to engage intimately.
Ao3 Fic: Broken Lore - to be revised and updated soon.
Skyler Woods, Sturges & Piper
My first OT3! Skyler is Intersex and Polyamorous. She is related to the man who was the Sole Survivor, Jonathan 'Nate' Woods. It's complicated (and spoilerish). Theodore 'Teddy' Earnest Sturges is unlabelled and unexpectedly finds himself in this triad, as does Piper Wright, who is Bisexual.
Skyler's story asks the question, "What would a four-faction 'peaceful' ending look like?" and attempts to answer it, in three parts.
Intersex is about ones physical, biological place on the gender spectrum. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually, Skyler describes herself as "leaning heavily toward the feminine" whilst being gender fluid. Preferring She/Her pronouns, she dislikes 'they/them', being called 'Ma'am' (only Preston gets away with that) and 'Mother' - the last Gen 2 synth to try that on instead of Sir or Director is currently being recycled.
Ao3 Fic: Blue Sky Beneath - current WIP but almost complete.
I'm always happy to receive Asks about my OCs! If you'd like to pose any questions or comments to them directly, I will gleefully answer In Character!
OCs are trending!
Here are a few of mine.
~ Agent Whisper ~
Many thanks to the one and only @drovenna for this kickass portrait of Overboss Lore Agent Whisper!
I'm starting my first Fallout for Hope streams today with Lorelei. Tune in to Twitch at 10am (UK time) if you can, I'm working on a whole lot of donation incentives such as: $30 makes me, a Brit, attempt to speak with an American accent for 15 minutes, $50 gets you a digital portrait of your OC / fave NPC and donating $76 makes me stop my current game and start a new one with an uglymug character with ridiculous SPECIALs! I may come up with more ideas and you're welcome to suggest some!
11 and 23 for all 3?
-@sweetjanesmixedholotapes
11. Has your OC been to other wastelands?
Vin : Yes, the Capital Wasteland to bring Duncan...and someone else special...back to the Commonwealth.
Skyler : Grew up just north of the Commonwealth in an unnamed Wasteland that used to be known as New Hampshire.
Overboss Lore : might joke drily about her pre-war paternal origins in Finland. Nuka-World is technically just outside of the Commonwealth proper, to the West. She wouldn't call it a wasteland though. It's her playground.
23. What did they do about Pickman?
Vin : Ended him.
Skyler : Ended him.
Lore : As much as she sneered distastefully - he reminded her far too much of the Disciples - she let him go and have fun, as long as it wasn't at the expense of the Operators or their Pack.
My OCs Poll! Who is S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to you? [Includes significant others]
Vin & Mac
'Lucky' Ricky Gee & Sofia Daguerre
Skyler Woods, Piper & Sturges
Overboss Lore & Porter Gage
I have to admit to always being curious as to which of my OCs attract people and why! They're all special to me of course, despite some having (much) longer fanfics than others. Who's waiting for Blue Sky Beneath part 3?
Which one has resonated with you?
