before nv! after james dies he picks up the bottle pretty quickly (scotch is his drink of choice. like father like son ❤) and i'm thinking during his little trip to the pitt is when his med-x addiction begins. also he probably starts taking mentats semi-regularly to offset the crushing brain fog that this combo would entail.
he literally ODs in freeside and the followers save him, which is how he meets arcade haha

How/why did the institute hire Yvette’s dad (and in extension, Yvette herself)
hopefully this won’t be too long! gotta give a lil backstory:
the institute had their eyes on hudson carmichael for a long time. he was a very talented scientist, revered within the brotherhood for his weapons research and development. he was framed by another scientist for a crime he didn’t commit, and he deserted in an effort to keep yvette safe.
yvette and hudson lived in the commonwealth for 3 years before the institute officially approached them. it’s well known that the institute has the weakest faction weapons in the game, so he would have been sought after to help them address that.
hudson refused to go to the institute without his daughter. since yvette was an adult and a scientist in her own right at this time, the institute would relent and allow her to come.
their reasoning was that she would at least be able to work and potentially introduce new genetic material to the institute if she met anyone there, which would help with the institute's eventual fertility crisis
(smh but at least the carmichaels stayed together)
hudson works in advanced systems and yvette works in robotics! in addition to cataloguing new synths that are made, she works with both digital and physical institute records and works cross-division with hudson when time and projects permit.
WOWWW that was so long sorry!! lol thanks for asking :3!!
OUGHHH sorry this took ages. I've been up and down in productivity, so I had to organize myself a bit before getting into the big Think Chamber. HMMM companions i love companions... but i definitely need to think about them more... let's see...
for reference, i’ve only played 3, NV, and 4. i know the most about NV's, the least about 4s, and like… just the good karma ones and Dogmeat from 3. laughs hard. i really do be playing the same guy every time (say say Hi Donnie Hello Donnie)
FO3
FO3’s are... laughs. i think it's well accepted that we don't get a lot of material for some of them, but there's a lot of context clues for others. i've really only ever traveled with dogmeat, star paladin cross, and fawkes when they feel relevant to the story progression...
i think i'll select cross as the fav since i think it's interesting to integrate her into the LW's story after losing their father. don't talk to me about her and the LW travelling to megaton and stopping at 101, mirroring the journey james made with her don't TALK to me
FNV
it's so hard to say who's "best" in NV because there's a lot more to consider... actual gameplay functionality + quests + personality all work together to make a complete companion, and each one kind of slots in different places for me personally...
boone and arcade feel like the fandom darlings to me and i can get why. they kinda have everything going for them, both fucking at combat, having useful perks, and having stirring stories. raul feels like he'd be next on that list but less loved (unfortunately. sigh)
don't TALK to me about how i think the girl characters kind of got shafted with their perks. they're way more niche and not as applicable to all characters like the boys' are. it makes them feel a little less desirable to have around and that makes me freaking mad
that being said i do think veronica or cass is my favorite... i just love their personalities so much, i'll keep having them around in their relevant playthroughs just because i want them there so bad. those are my girls and i love them with all my heart <3
FO4
man... i have a good number of hours in FO4, but i seriously don't know what i did in it. Laughs. i've only really played as Andy, who's rocking that goody-two-shoes Minute Man General moment, so i don't think i expanded much beyond the introductory companions...
i remember feeling so strongly about piper i love her so much... if i'm in a boston themepark it feels right to have a boston girl running around with me... otherwise i think i ran with preston, but that was largely for minuteman stuff. idk man it's fallout 4
I've been participating in whumptober since 2019 and I'm so excited for this year. I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who puts in the time and effort to run this event every year

Shout out to the face stimmers that still wear masks!!! It's v inconveniencing but y'all still have the ability to realize that masks are important so thanks!
I got several asks for the same OC, so I am grouping them!
💗 Ramble a bit about this character!
Okay, so. Lena was my first ever DA oc and I created her in August 2019 when I first played Inquisition (yeah, I have played Inquisition before Origins).
I knew pretty much nothing about everything except that I wanted to romance the Bull, but after a couple of quests my brain created this whole meta universe where Lena had a younger bro and sis and different outcomes and romances etc depending on which universe was chosen.
Although I had planned to romance Bull with her, Bull became my Lavellan’s LI and Lena romanced Cullen instead.
Fastforward to almost two years later and since I didn’t feel like the romance 100% fit her (Idk, ocs have their own voices) anymore, I revamped her choosing to romance Blackwall instead. It fits.
💧 What is something from your OC’s past they’re the most ashamed of and why? What is something they’re really proud of? And lastly what is something in their past that could make them shake with dread?
You know how i said up above that she has different worldstates? In one her brother survives (he is a mage) and in one it’s her sis who survives (templar). She has a twin-like attachment to her brother, even though they were born years apart.
That said, the thing she is most ashamed of was the feeling of relief when she found out it was their sister who died at the Conclave.
Lena takes pride in the fact that she managed to work through both ptsd and depression after Trespasser and regained confidence in herself by reinventing herself (she goes from rogue to warrior because of the whole one-handed thing).
As for the shaking with dread part... it is once again connected to her siblings. When they were kids and Marcus suddenly froze the plate of soup he was eating, she felt the same ice in her veins. Then she had to watch the Templars take him away and the dread only got worse.
💥 Are there any emotions your OC doesn’t know how to deal with, doesn’t understand or hates having to feel? Any reason behind this?
Feelings in general? She is a pretty emotionally constipated person in my canon worldstate. She has worked as a merc for the longest time before Inquisition, so sex is just sex for her. Friendships are mainly business transactions and so on.
Being shoved into a leader’s shoes certainly doesn’t help, but at least she ends up acquiring enough tools to deal with her emotions.
(and friends. And sex with feelings)
🏀 Does your OC have any skills that people wouldn’t expect them to have? Do they have a hobby or pass time that others would consider strange or weird? How did they learn this particular skill or pick up this hobby?
Uhm... well, she has very high DEX, so she can juggle? xD
It was something entertaining and dumb that made her siblings laugh back when they were kids.
👹 How does you OC act around different people and how does their personality change to match the environment they’re in? How do they act with: friends, family, strangers, children or their lover(s)?
There are three types of behaviours you can see from her: with Dorian, Cole and Bull she is herself, goofy laughters, puns and also vulnerability; with Josephine and Cass she is a slightly more polished version of herself because she wants to gain their approval. And with people like Vivienne, Cullen and pretty much every stranger outside the Inner Circle she puts on the leader pants and dies of stress in a corner afterwards.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE ASKS AND FOR LETTING ME RAMBLE ABOUT HER
