Decided to put it here.

I feel that it might be a bit rough but here it is (Added little Stat things for fun):

[u]Name:[/u] Howard De'Facto

[u]Sex:[/u] Male

[u]Age:[/u] 23

[u]Personality:[/u] Howard is a fairly awkward individual, not being very charismatic or sociable for that matter, often stumbling over his own words and stuttering uncontrollably. He is also easily frightened, after having spent most of his adult life in a small workshop, he's developed a condition that's made him very skittish due to the quiet nature of his work, this coupled with how flustered he can become make for good entertainment. However, what he lacks in his ability to socialize, he makes up in his technical know how, understanding both computers and mechanics through his experience with PIPboys and handy with a lock pick, having learnt the skill to be able to open up his mother's cigarette box, so he is crafty and resourceful, being able to think quick on his toes and with relative speed. Howard, when not working failing socially, is found staring into space blankly, often whisking himself into an imaginative world where he was a cool guy, had a motorcycle and could talk to girls.

[u]Biography:[/u] Howard was born to two parents who both worked in maintenance and had gotten very friendly when fixing the piping in the lower levels. He had spent most of his childhood between his room and school, occasionally finding himself in some dark stairway where he was often picked on by older, stronger piers. As he grew up, his social ability had never improved, his father had died in a freak recycler accident and his mom turned to cigarettes and unsafe booze she distilled in the toilet from dinner leftovers, leaving no one to look after him. When he passed his Vault issued test (and to his dismay not the G.O.A.T.), he was designated to maintenance, like his parents. Initially he complained, wanting to be in admin so he could spend more time with his crush, Sophie Prescott but soon he got settled into the job, having completed his maintenance course and being put on PIPboy duty for the foreseeable future. However, as he worked more, he spiraled uncontrollably down a path of self destruction, taking up smoking by stealing cigarettes from his mother and spending longer, more antisocial hours in his workshop, to the annoyance of his supervisor.



[u]Skills/Traits:[/u]
-Lock Pick: Howard picked up this rather handy skill from a pre-war magazine, Locksmith’s Reader. It showed him how to pick basic locks like his mother’s cigarette box but nothing like a heavy door (or a normal door for that matter…). ([b]Tagged: Lockpick[/b])

-Hack: Being a PIPboy repair specialist, one of the main issues that he came across was computer glitches and forgotten passwords, forcing him to learn his way around computer programming and most importantly, how to bypass security. He can hack reasonable security parameters but can’t hack for example, the Overseer’s office terminal. ([b]Tagged: Science[/b])

-Repair: He is handy when it comes to general fixes, being able to put back together broken radios or finding out why a service panel isn’t working. Though this knowledge doesn’t extend to guns, as he had never handled one, let alone take one apart to see how it worked. ([b]Tagged: Repair[/b])

-Addiction/Smoker/Med-X: Howard has a smoking problem, often needing his cigarette to calm his nerves, or he starts to feel sick (Unknown to him, his mother’s cigarettes are laced with Med-X,  so he is actually addicted to the drug and less so the nicotine). ([b]Going through withdrawal he suffers Charisma -1, Perception -1, DT -1[/b])

-Antisocial: Years of neglectful parenting, bullying at school and a psychologically draining mind numbing job have turned Howard to a person who has difficulty communicating felling, meaning, transactions and pretty much anything, being awkward to talk to and leaving a lasting impression. ([b]Charisma -1, Speech -3, Barter -3[/b])


[u]Starting Inventory:[/u]
-Vault Utility Jumpsuit: A standard blue Vault 142 Jumpsuit, modified with a tool belt containing basic tools, made with a denser fiber to protect against minor burns and sharp tools. Has a small flashlight mounted in the left front pocket ([b]DT +2, Repair +2, Melee Weapons +2[/b]).

-Teddy Bear: A plush, stuffed animal whose origins predate the sealing of the vault. It is made from synthetic fibers and has two black beady eyes and a cute little nose. He found it in a loose floor panel in his room and has grown an attachment to the comforting feeling it gives. Has a zipper in the back where he hides cigarettes and a lighter ([b]Speech +2, Charisma if seen -1[/b]).

-PIPboy M-3000: A maintenance version of the stock PIPboy 3000, the M-3000 differs from it’s cousin because of the more functions it can do, filled with programs like computer bypass parameters and a brighter light to name a few. It has a light blue paint job and has a gas leak detector dial along with the RAD meter, it is also much heavier for some reason. ([b]Agility -1, Repair +3, Science +3[/b])
