#ruby gets radiation

It’s supposed to follow her general character arc throughout fo4. The sound of the music within is supposed to mimic the kind of music Ivy herself likes, whereas lyrics are more thematically important;

Thank you so much @tunnelsnke for tagging me! This was really useful & fun for developing Siren more.

She doesn’t know a lot about her family, she was raised in a small town in Wyoming where she was raised communally as it seems she was seperate from her actual family. As a child she was always very disconnected from them and always loved wandering and exploring the local sagebrush regions. When she turned eighteen she left to wander further from home and go towards NCR territory. She heard the land was pretty out there. She tended to do odd-jobs to keep going, but this was mainly scavenging and selling scrap.

Eventually she got drawn towards the redwoods and was absolutely enchanted by them. Their immense size gave her a more internalized sense of her place in the world. She ended up becoming a courier from there, usually hopping around between different courier groups as she slowly rotated around the west of America.

Later on she did deliver the package to the Divide and it’s very important to note she does remember delivering it come Lonesome Road. It’s the crux of why she goes into the Divide with what would be her current position in the first place. She wants to relieve the guilt of what she did. She believes a lot in the placement of people’s actions in the worlds and their historical significance (as opposed to my sole survivor who leans more into the idea that real history is impossible to access) and she wants to make sure the actions she takes mean something. Every action she takes is very important to her. She isn’t prepared to actually meet Ulysses and he’s not what she expects, which means she actually takes a lot of time wandering the Divide to figure out what to say to him at their confrontation.

When she’s 32 she gets pregnant, I am completely omitting the father on purpose as I find pregnancy can often heavily warp the way people view the pregnant person— June is the character here first and foremost above all else. She goes to do courier work in the Mojave because she feels the roads there are more calm & less dangerous than other areas. She also knows New Vegas and loves it dearly, she finds it freeing and feels there’s something inherently human about it. Maybe it’s not where she wants to raise whatever children she has, but it’s not the worst place to give birth & out of all places to give birth it’s not the worst.

Gomorrah has no pool as far as I can see. It has a very shallow decorative water basin in the center of the courtyard. I think the Omertas would be a somewhat hospitable choice for mermaid things in the erotic and dramatic sense. However, due to how shallow their body of water is I’d imagine mermaid shows would not be very often & Gomorrah’s vibe doesn’t necessarily mesh well with mermaids anyways. I can see dry land things both in and out of tail being more favored by both the family and “Siren.” 4/10.

The Ultra-Luxe had the deepest and longest pool out of the four (as far as I can see), it’s dramatic and beautiful, and also has a very large area for people to be able to watch any mermaid actions inside. The issue is that the Ultra-Luxe is supposed to be more refined and classy. Mermaid shows would probably be very incidental as to maintain that classy persona (I can see them being considered raunchy) and my performer’s costumes would also have to fit the bill, to also not impede people in the bathhouse, and just because the Ultra-Luxe doesn’t seem like it’s the most into performance shows. I can see it being more likely that for someone’s birthday party she gets hired or in included in some sort of out-of-tail synchronized swimming. 2/10.

The Tops has a very average pool. It’s not as good as the Ultra-Luxe’s, but it is a way better pool than Gomorrah. I think the big redeeming thing for the Tops is the fact it has a higher water body of performances and isn’t necessarily as strictly themed as the other options. It also just feels the most open to having mermaid shows semi-consistently. I think even though the pool isn’t the best pick it’s probably the best bet for “Siren”. 7/10.
