Your OC as a Companion: Indy Maxwell

How are they recruited by the Sole Survivor:

You can find fliers, generally near old Nuka Cola adverts, asking for tips on collectibles. Go out west, toward the tram that takes you to Nuka World, and you’ll find her in an old Red Rocket that has been converted into a Nuka Cola themed diner and museum.

You’ll find out that she’s not originally from the Boston area, but came in search of some fabled items, including some in Nuka World. She dearly wants to go to the theme park but is smart enough to know she wouldn’t make it on her own. She'll offer to help out on your travels if you’ll just let her look for loot along the way and if you promise you’ll take her to Nuka World eventually.

Weapon: a healthy streak of luck and a modified toy Thirst Zapper gun that behaves like a plasma gun

Perk: Thirst Zapped: Permanent boost to perks gained by any type of Nuka Cola

Romanceable: Yes.

Her first few affinity conversations build from Nuka Cola trivia to an uncovering of her past. In her second to last conversation, you find out that she grew up in a Vault underneath a bottling plant in Indianapolis and that’s how she got her name. It was originally constructed as a massive promotional project between Vault Tec and the Nuka Cola Corporation. The whole thing was an advertisement, from the red and white vault suits and Pip-Boys, to enough cola to last several generations.

In her final affinity conversation she reveals that her great grandmother- several times removed- was the model and voice of Nuka Girl. The vault was actually planned by John-Caleb Bradberton as a way to win her over by sheltering her family, given that he had his own plans to survive the apocalypse. Or so the family story goes. She isn’t sure but is inclined to believe, given that her vault was free of the usual experimentation- unless you count an excessive amount of merchandising and who would ever complain about that? If romanced, she laughingly adds that she’s glad you’re not as much as a sleazeball as Bradberton was and hopes that one day she can show you the prosperous settlement that sprung up around her vault.

If, during your conversations, you express an affinity for Nuka Cola, she’ll say she’s glad to find a fellow fan. If not, she’ll show a bit of embarrassment over what she’ll easily admit is an obsession, but only a bit. She’ll pointedly refuse to answer if asked which she’d choose if forced- you or Nuka Cola- though she’s gracious enough to offer a laugh and a wink that give you some hope.

At maximum affinity, she will sometimes give the Sole Survivor caps or different varieties of Nuka Cola.

Personal Quest:

When you take her to Nuka World and your affinity level is high enough, she’ll reveal that the treasure she’d long been searching for is a safe that contains a few of Nuka Girl’s personal possessions. The safe can be found in the Galactic Zone of the park, in a small building near Nuka-Galaxy that acted both as a trailer for Nuka Girl when she was there on special appearances to the park and as a signing booth for anyone looking for autographs. While Indy is excited to get her hand on a few of her ancestor’s authentic props, she’s most excited about the holotape that acted as the woman’s final journal before the bombs dropped. While Indy considers the contents private and won’t let you listen to the whole thing yourself, you can overhear her listening to it on her branded Pip-Boy from time to time when she’s left in a settlement. Sometimes she’ll even affectionately say things back to it.

Beautiful fluffy lady ❤️ give her a kiss for me

she's so lovely and floofy!

So fluffy <3

doomhamster replied to your photo “Not pictured, her occasionally swatting herself in the face with her...”

Ooooh, what a beauty <3

She is a photogenic (and very warm) floof. And she appreciates being appreciated. Or at least she’s looking very smug at the moment.

Deacon *finger guns*

of course! i love deacon!

first impression: i did an institute run my first time around, so i killed him :( felt very bad about it, though! he seemed like a cool guy.

impression now: deacon is quite easily one of my favorite characters in fallout 4. i was kinda indifferent to him for a while, not gonna lie, but after finishing his affinity talks, i really, really grew to like him. despite how he acts, deacon is… very grounded in reality. i love how he uses humor, and lies, as like, this sort of coping mechanism. it’s very intriguing to me. 

favorite moment: i like his first affinity talk. his line about “always being in your corner” was very touching!

idea for a story: hmm, i’ve always wanted to write something serious about him, maybe something that delved into his insecurities or whatever. he has a lot going on.

unpopular opinion: while i get that he cracks a lot of jokes and stuff, seeing people reduce that to his only personality trait rubs me suuuch the wrong way…

favorite relationship: since he’s a loner, my answer for this has to be him and the sole survivor. i think he works well with a lot of different personalities, so either way, their dynamic is interesting to me.

favorite headcanon: don’t @ me but i’ve always liked the idea of him having freckles?! (might be because he’s a redhead…)

tashvasnormandy replied to your post “Please tag your political posts”

I'll try to be more mindful! Are there any tags in particular you are using? I'm tagging 'US politics' and 'Donald Trump' - let me know if anything is slipping through x

I will. I don’t think it is, though. Thanks!

Such a beauty <3

Her cuteness allows her to get away with a lot. It’s simply impossible to stay mad at kitties.

23, 37 :)

23. Do they have a temper or are they level headed?

He gets frustrated pretty easily, which always leads to a pretty big fit. He tries to stay calm but it doesn't work all the time.

37. Favorite armor / outfit?

His main clothing in-game is the Wasteland Wanderer outfit, though he always carries around some pre-war outfit he found with him. His favorite apparel item is a tuxedo, but he's never been able to get one.

tashvasnormandy replied to your post: Speaking of headcanons, @tashvasnormandy, I like...

Yess! Haha that reminds me in my first playthrough, I ended up putting him in Maxsons coat, which was….hilarious in a way

LOL. TBF, it’s a good coat. I actually use a mod that slaps a RR patch over it (here) and, bam, suddenly it’s perfectly acceptable.
