He’s talking to a coke-bottle brunette dame, beautiful rouge flicked quickly across her lips. The Gomorrah Girls are visiting quite frequently these days, since being let loose from the Omertas. The poor things looked far too hollow when he’d first seen them. Happiness was a good look on the girls, after so many years of bad treatment.

“Mars. I believe you’ve heard of me.”

The man’s answer was succinct, his face locked in a stoic manner. 

In absolute honesty, the woman he was attempting to converse with impressed him. What impressed him was that she took both the Bear and Bull and brought them to their knees before her and her robots, establishing herself as the sole proprietor of New Vegas as a result. Had he been in her shoes, he would have had to require assistance from the NCR to accomplish the same goals she accomplished single-handedly. 

Though he did not expect her to know it, those that knew Mars knew that he did not immediately consider women of high regard. This was due to his upbringing in the Legion, which often treated women as second class citizens. Mars did not necessarily agree to this notion wholeheartedly, even when he served under Caesar as one of his favored Frumentarii. He came to believe that anybody, man or woman, deserved his respect if they proved it. Upon being exiled from the Legion for a supposed crime of treason and labeled in damnatio memoriae, this belief was further solidified and strengthened. 

Mars had come to Venus at this time wishing to get acquainted with the woman who now held New Vegas in her palm, establishing some sort of rapport and further relations with her.

“Needless to say...from a man who has dedicated their life to slicing the throats of the men I once considered brothers, your castration of the Bull has been something I envied to do since they exiled me. However...your similar actions to the Bear have also cost me easy contracts and easy reasons to be on the hunt.”

Extending one of his hands outward, a small smile flashing across his weary face, he continued.

Mars turned to Jochebed with a confused and sorrowful expression. 

Mars will be getting slight boosts in his SPECIAL points to better reflect his actions in the RP settings I’ve been putting him through. Pre-changed SPECIAL stats reflected his in-game SPECIAL from FNV, Lv. 50, prior to the Hoover Dam battle.

UPDATE (9/3/17): After consulting with @onewiththeglow, if Mars has every implant installed from the NVMC, his maximum SPECIAL allocation should total up to 57 pts. However, these points are not distributed evenly (e.g. each 7 skills getting +1 each), and are used to better represent certain actions and traits in his RP settings instead. 

Str. (6) +0 

Per. (6) +2 -> (8)

Reason: Better reflects his marksmanship with the Anti Materiel Rifle (GRA).

End. (5) +3 -> (8)

Reason: Better reflects his ability to travel extremely long distances in the U.S. Wasteland (e.g. from New Vegas to the Commonwealth and the return trip.)

Cha. (10) +0

Int. (10) +0

Agi. (8) 

Luc. (5) +2 -> (7)

Video: Luciano Pavarotti (1994) sings “Nessun Dorma” from Puccini’s Turandot

“Nessun Dorma” is an aria from Turandot, an opera about a prince, Calaf, who falls in love with the titular princess, Turandot. In order to win her hand in marriage, three riddles must be correctly answered. However, if Calaf should fail to answer any of the riddles correctly, he shall be beheaded like all of Turandot’s previous suitors. 

In the act before this aria, Calaf has correctly answered the three riddles put to all of Princess Turandot's prospective suitors. Nonetheless, she recoils at the thought of marriage to him. Calaf offers her another chance by challenging her to guess his name by dawn. If she does so, she can execute him; but if she does not, she must marry him. The cruel and emotionally cold princess then decrees that none of her subjects shall sleep that night until his name is discovered. If they fail, all will be killed. (Wikipedia)

While Mars is not necessarily a romantic, if he does accept the fact that he is indeed in love with a person, he will gladly do whatever it took to ensure that he will win the person’s heart. Much like how Calaf in Turandot is certain that he will be able to solve all the riddles and win Turandot’s hand in marriage. 

Lyrics (Translated):

--V1--

None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Not even you, oh Princess, in your cold bedroom, watching the stars that tremble with love and with hope!

But my secret is hidden within me; no one will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!

And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!

---Chorus---

No one will know his name, and we will have to, alas, die, die!

--V2--

No one will know his name, and we will have to, alas, die, die!
