Ahhh Thank you so much for tagging me @worthlesssix​ and @nuka-nuke​, you’re wonderful <3 !

Name: Project Atom !

Starting Perk: Radiation Magnet - Decreases amount of radiation you receive by 50%.

Companion Quest: Learn and Help him learn about his past! First you got to find queues like Arcades- just little snippets like terminals or ed-e voice lines- and once it hits 5 queues it activates! When you do you get sent to an abandoned enclave facility that has got a bunch of terminals and audio files to listen to, and deciding whether to tell Atom about his past or not grants you different perks. 

If you tell him: Atom Bomb Baby! - Radiation Resistance is 50%, and once an in game week, if surrounded by 3+ bad guys, and more then 10+ feet away from you- he’d explode like a grenade without dying.

If you don’t tell him: Helping Green Hand - Radiation Resistance is 50%, And Repair + Energy Weapons increase by 25% !  (Or either or of the latter, still indecisive about it) 

Weapon of Choice: PLASMA GUNS

Enemies (long rage): “UH OH BAD GUYS” “You think if we get a laser and point it near them they’d chase at it like a curious gecko?” (If outside) “Man aint that a view? The beautiful sky, the weathered ground, the bad gu-OH CRAP BAD GUYS”

Ahhh thank you for the ask !

38. How’s their aim? Do their hands shake while pointing a gun?

His aim’s actually very good ! Especially with Energy Weapons! He doesn’t shake his hands much at all, even when crying !

39. What are their thoughts on having to kill on a daily bases in order to survive? Does it take a toll on them? Or do they shake it off rather easily?

HAH, yeaa alright so- He tries to spare people when he can really. Thing is with him is that he like, it’s the norm to kill people and he never really questioned it. Yet, he feels guilty about it but like, you gotta do what you gotta do in the wastes y’know? It’s survival and that’s how it be. Overall to answer these questions is: He keeps himself together very well, but... it keeps him up at night. 

40. Thoughts on death if any? (ex. Fear it, accept it)
