Paul (FO1)

1. As the descendant of two chinese-american families in Vault 13, Paul was often ostracized from vault society. While his mother was concerned with assimiliating into vault culture, Paul didn't care much about it and often pushed others away. He regrets never having the opportunity to learn more about his chinese ancestry. 2. He initially thought the overseer made up the water chip being broken as an excuse to kick him out of the vault. 3. Paul initially got close to his future partner, Patricio, during vault maintenance assignments. Because the assignments were usually distributed alphabetically, they spent a lot of time together checking the vault's pipes or running inventory. They spoke briefly the first time Paul returned to vault 13 with the new water chip, but they only got together after the events of the game, when half of the vault's population decided to leave. 4. The first time Paul ever felt like he belonged was on the surface with Ian, Katja and Tycho, and so, he never really recovered from watching them die during the mariposa base raid. He lived the rest of his life in fear and paranoia and that translated to how he built and led Arroyo: isolated and with strict rules. 5. Before the other vault dwellers left vault 13 to join him, he lived briefly on Shady Sands, where he tried to build a regular life with a wife and child. The woman he married, Bai, was a local medic and descendant from vault 15. The relationship didn't last more than a few months and Paul took their daughter, Anna, when he left with the other vault 13 dwellers.

Angel (FO2)

1. Angel is the youngest of 7 kids. His father's side of the family also comes from vault 13. 2. After the events of FO2 he serves as an ambassador to the Shi for the NCR because of his chinese heritage. He was charismatic but not suited for political work, so it didn't last long. Still, he took the opportunity to learn how to speak mandarin. It's what his grandpa would have wanted. 3. Angel was madly in love with Angela Bishop and he seriously thought he could fix her :/ 4. One of the NCR's biggest and busiest highways, connecting Shady Sands to Arroyo is called Angel's Highway, named after him by Tandi. It was one of her last projects as president of the NCR before her death and, in honor of her memory, subsequent governments are hesitant to change the name. Locals often refer to it as The Angels. 5. By the time of New Vegas, Angel is the NCR's most famous celebrity. Although he started in the porn movie industry in New Reno, he transitioned to acting in all genres of movies, doing sponsorships and radio ads, and even served briefly in the army as a sharpshooter.
