#skunker

So, most of my Fallout 76 characters have been like... AUs of my other OCs but I finally have an OC that is specifically a Fallout 76 OC. Out of the vault he goes by 'Skunk/Skunker'. He was born in the vault, he was about 23/24 when Reclamation day hit. Rowdy, but friendly and a little stupid... much to the disappointment of his vaulty parents. He left with his family initially, but being stuck in the vault was the only thing really keeping them together. Eventually his parents split up, and then so did he. His mom took up in Foundation, and his dad met a new woman and fucked off out of West Virginia. He tried to stick to the straight and narrow, but he just couldn't cope with the boredom. He took up with the Raider's because they keep the chems and the adrenaline flowing. His mom doesn't like it, but she keeps in contact with him in the hopes he'll eventually change his mind, but he's in pretty deep. He starts going by Skunk when he joins up with the Raiders. Most people assume it's on account of the chems and stink bombs, but really they're his favorite animal. Outside of the vault, every animal he encountered he either had to eat, or it tried to kill him. But one night while camping under the stars he woke up just before dawn to see a rad skunk had snuggled up next to him and fallen asleep. Afraid to move, lest it douse him in heinous smelling fluid he sat there and watched it sleep. But it eventually woke up and still didn't spray him, or even attack him. They shared a moment where it sniffed around him, and he gave it a little food and talked to it over breakfast, before they eventually parted ways. The experience stuck with him and he considers that skunk his first friend out of the vault. It's the only animal he won't hunt, and he eventually starts dying his hair green to match them.

I feel like Barks would never sleep at night because he would just think about all the brothers he couldn’t save after every mission. But even when he sleeps willingly it doesn't last long.

If Bear were to ever get in a relationship he could never sleep after an argument, he won't sleep until everything has been settled.

Storm probably has the most tattoos out of all my clones, but they all happen to be dedicated to the brothers he's lost. He almost got one dedicated to Barks.

Put Skunker and Barks in a room, and I can assure you that Skunker is leaving with a dislocation (Barks didn't do it.)

Bear drinks enough caf to probably kill a person, but he'd deny it. "This is my first cup today." I can confirm that would be a lie, he's probably drunk two, maybe three.

Erix has a bullet in a necklace given by Skunker the first time they met, the other Skunker jokingly said "Next time you annoy me this is gonna go in your forehead" and Erix kept it just to annoy him.

Bear would give droids pronouns I think

Storm will literally hit Barks for no reason and when Barks hits back, Storm screams for Rex

Barks will try to explode you with his mind if you annoy him

Barks: "snapping my back like a glow stick would solve all my problems."

Storm absolutely FACEPLANTED the first time he stepped off a gunship for the first time. Nobody let's him live it down. The next time he did it was in front of Anakin

Erix will do something, blame Storm and boom Barks and Storm argue. He loves it.

Erix cusses like a sailor

Skunker admires Barks and Rex for putting up with the chaos

Skunker bombards waxer, boil and wooley with jokes

Bear bites off more than he can chew
