Miss Whiskey’s relationships:

—————

Max: Whiskey never meets Max, but has a negative opinion of him when she hears of him from Stank Gum and Scrotus. She knows of him as the “Raggedy Man”. She believes him to be a demigod who’s come to kill Scrotus and kill all of the great fathers above as well. She grows to fear max after she discovers Stank’s body and hears of Scrotus’s death at the hands of Max.

Chumbucket: Chumbucket has a very negative opinion of Miss Whiskey. During his time in Gastown he didn’t like her one bit and refers to her as the “spoiled heretic queen of Gastown”.

Hope: Hope and Whiskey do not interact much. Whiskey only knows of Hope as being one of Stank Gum’s concubines. The two never got a chance to speak, but Whiskey pities her. Despite this, she did nothing to try and help her.

Scrotus: Scaborous Scrotus tolerates Miss Whiskey. She can be useful to him in many different ways, such as translating different languages from the wastes and convincing different factions to give their tithes to Gastown. He is currently just waiting for the perfect moment to get rid of her, as having a woman like her in his circle of power makes him look bad.

Stank Gum: Stank Gum and Whiskey have a complicated relationship. Because Scrotus would seem weak if he appointed a woman to power in his circle, Scrotus commanded Stank Gum and Whiskey to masquerade as a couple. Whiskey was to act as Stank Gum’s trophy and bride and the two of them hated it for a very long time… but Gastowners love to gossip about celebrity drama, and the idea that Miss Whiskey and Stank Gum were dating was always an interesting topic. Aside from their fake dating, Whiskey is surprisingly close with Stank Gum (as close as one can get to the knife-licker anyways). Stank Gum often uses Whiskey’s parlor as a safe place to rest in those rare instances where he isn’t running around doing Scrotus’ bidding, and Whiskey often listens to him. He still wants to skin her face and wear it though… and Whiskey still locks her windows and doors every night just in case he decides he’s done playing pretend with her.

Jeet: Jeet and Whiskey initially met when they were pretty young during one of the many tithes. Jeet was (at the time) a young and cocky man who was the second in command of the Balefire people. During Scrotus’ rule, different stronghold leaders are required to give tithes to Gastown in exchange for Scrotus’ tolerance of them on his lands.. and Jeet HATED them. When he first met Whiskey he was already pretty irritated over having to travel all the way to Gastown from the Balefire flatlands just give his stupid tithe to Scrotus, and was about to let everyone know about it. To keep violence from breaking out, Whiskey (a young socialite at the time) took it upon herself to calm him down, keeping him distracted by asking him to walk with her. The two soon bonded over their shared annoyances and Whiskey’s naive interest in the wasteland (to which Jeet loved showing off to her all he had learned about survival.) they visited each other on and off after that point, the two eventually becoming romantically and sexually involved a few years into their courtship. Their relationship had to be kept secret, however, as Whiskey’s involvement with the leader of the Balefire people would surely be seen as a betrayal. The two eventually have a falling out over something dumb… but their relationship will likely be on and off after that point. Whiskey really really likes him.

The Outcrier: Whiskey and the Outcrier get along very well. The two often collaborate on organizing events and keeping gastown’s occupants motivated. They’re not very close, but they have good opinions of one another.

Pink Eye: Pink Eye believes Whiskey is spoiled and has delusions of grandeur. She prefers not to associate with her and calls her “Scrotus’s Kiss Ass”

Deep Friar: Deep Friar also doesn’t have a very positive opinion of Whiskey. Although she’s been a boon on keeping Scrotus from destroying his temple, he doesn’t like her.

FINALLY A MAD MAX OC POST!! I’ve been dying to redesign my girl for months. Meet Miss Whiskey! She’s an OC made mainly for the game ^^

The first design: Gastown Whiskey! This is how she dressed when she was a Bigwig. She was obsessed with the Old World and liked to come off as feminine and fancy as she could, much to the displeasure of Scrotus (who saw her femininity in his circle of power as a bit of a stain on his character)

The second design: after the events of the game, Whiskey loses her position in Gastown and is cast into the wastes. Spoiled and clueless from being pampered in Gastown for so many years, she has absolutely no survival skills.. except for her clever mouth.

————————

Description:

Miss Whiskey is a high ranking bigwig within Gastown’s hierarchy, being the negotiator for the People Eater and Scrotus himself. She initially made herself useful to Scrotus due to her ability to speak Under-Russian, which made her useful when it came to communicating and making deals with the Buzzard hordes at the time. This one taste of usefulness quickly went to Whiskey’s head, and she began doing everything she could to stay in Scrotus’s good graces. Although Scrotus isn’t exactly fond of her, he still keeps her within the hierarchy because she somehow always finds a way to make herself useful to him, whether that be keeping the Gastown wretches from rising up against him or negotiating with other factions. Her beauty and femininity definitely play a role in making her a very convincing messenger and negotiator.

Her status in Scrotus’ circle has also granted her the ability to have War Boys of her own. Dubbed “Parlor Boys” , her war boys are mainly trained to be body guards and heavy-lifters for her. They are distinguishable from other War Boys due to the fact that they wear bow ties on their necks, fancy white cuffs on their wrists, dress pants (or anything resembling them), and mark themselves with dots under their eyes to mimic Whiskey’s signature mole.

Many in the Gastown power circle believe it is only a matter of time before Scrotus does away with Miss Whiskey, but she genuinely believes she has Scrotus and Stank Gum wrapped around her finger. If only she knew how thin the ice she was walking on actually was…
