IC Information:
Name: Arcade Gannon
Fandom: Fallout: New Vegas
Timeline:sometime between when the Courier convinces him to become his/her follower and the ending of the main quest scenario.
Age: he himself states it as “late thirties”
Appearance: blonde hair, black-framed glasses, usually seen wearing a white lab coat.
Abilities: Arcade has some pretty serious medical training. Though most of his work involves research, he can tend wounds and has pretty much the same medical knowledge as your common doctor with a practice. He also speaks fluent Latin.
Personality: Arcade has an easygoing personality and he is generally friendly and personable. Despite the fact that he himself says that he is “not good with people”, he is a very charismatic individual and his easy charm and sense of humor make him a likable man. Arcade is very idealistic and he believes in a world where things are different, where the tensions between the factions that exist in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland do not exist and where conflicts can be resolved. When asked about himself, Arcade states that he is “really very boring” and uses humor, among other means, to deflect personal questions. He does not like talking about himself at all. Arcade is a homosexual and generally seems more comfortable around men than women even in a platonic setting.
History: Arcade was born in Navarro in the year 2246, the son of an officer of the Enclave, a faction that attempts to restore order to the Wasteland after the atomic war. Arcade's father passed away when he was still a baby, a casualty of a mission for the Enclave. Arcade grew up very close to his mother and was also taken under the wing of the group of soldiers that had once made up the unit that his father fought in. The makeshift family bonded closely and Arcade was a generally happy child. When the New California Republic captured Navarro, he and his family fled and attempted to live a normal life, but eventually the conflict that raged on forced them to end up much further east, and Arcade ended up in Nevada.
In his adult life, Arcade moved to the town of Freeside, just outside the remains of Las Vegas, and joined a group called the Followers of the Apocalypse, a group dedicated to helping others, in a hope to be able to use his skills. The Followers taught Arcade medicine and he worked as a doctor, though eventually he began to focus more on research, trying to find medicinal uses for the natural wildlife in the Mojave. Arcade chose research over medicine as he believes he is not good with people. Eventually, the Courier, the player character of the game, can recruit Arcade to be their companion and he leaves Freeside and wanders the Wasteland with him/her.
Roleplay Sample - Log: The ceiling of the Lucky 28's suite swam above Arcade when he opened his eyes. It wasn't entirely clear to him what had happened the night before for a moment, but then it slowly began to come back to him and he groaned, clapping a hand to the side of his torso. The teeth of a coyote had torn his flesh there, and despite the makeshift bandage that he had clamped there before falling into a fitful sleep, the pain was overwhelming.
Getting up, Arcade moved to the cabinet that he had taken to using to store his personal belongings, pulling out a doctor's bag and fumbling through it until he found what he needed. He disinfected his wound which, to his surprise, did not look significant enough to need stitches, and then wrapped it more tightly. This taken care of he found his shirt and white coat draped over a chair and pulled them on before he wandered into the living room of the suite. The suite was silent save for the soft panting of Rex, and Arcade paused to stroke the cybernetic canine before heading into the kitchen to see what he could scrounge up for breakfast.
Roleplay Sample -Journal: Not that I expect anyone to cater to me and hold my hand through the explaining process, or anything like that, but I could really use some help. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, is the thing. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function? Arcade is from a world where death and brutality is pretty much the norm and where unless you are among those lucky enough to have safe and permanent lodgings, every day is a constant struggle for your life. That said he can take most things in stride that Fac can offer, seeing as how he doesn't know a life without horror. He'd honestly probably find the experiments fascinating on some level.
