Name: Angus O’Leary

Stats
Strength: 6
Perception: 5
Endurance:5
Charisma: 5
Intelligence: 4
Agility: 6
Luck: 9

Race: Caucasian, Irish

Age: 25

Personality:
Arrogant beyond measure, alcoholic beyond reason, and lucky beyond doubt, Angus O’Leary has developed what pretty much equates to a “Fuck it all and I’ll still end up on top” attitude towards life. The only things that drive him are alcohol, his wallet, and his heart, not always in that order. Given the nature of the Wasteland, Angus tries to make lots of good friends, because in the end, he realizes that relationships are what matter the most, not the money he makes from his moderately lucrative business.

Despite his knowledge that relationships matter, Angus always tries to put himself first in his relationships. Everything leads back to his cocky arrogance, his idea that he is so much better than everyone else because he always gets so lucky. Still, when someone gets close to his heart, he makes sure they stay there, and will cry like a little bitch if anything happens to them. Deep down, he’s a kind-hearted, loving, and caring individual, but above that, he a bit of an arrogant ass.

Yet, alongside his arrogance and his buried kind heart, he has a temper like a matchstick, ready to go off at any second, for almost any reason, though he tends to restrain himself. Real insult, perceived insult, insults to his friends, a gesture or word he doesn’t like or understand, and off he goes, fighting likes it’s his job. Fortunately, as fast as he is to fight, he’s just as fast to smile and laugh it off. The possibility of being bi-polar is easily there.


Equipment:
Angus wears a Vault 66 Utility Jumpsuit under a multi-point harness that he scavenged from an old parachuting school because he thought the harness looked cool. The Jumpsuit itself bears the large 66 on the back and is the typical blue with yellow detailing of Vault-Tec jumpsuits. It’s more tear resistant than most, being a utility jumpsuit, and a few scratches have been patched up, but it still is recognizably a Vault jumpsuit. He also wears a pair of old cavalry boots from a stint exploring a Civil War museum with a few pro-Confederate types that he ditched quickly.

Given to him by his parents, Angus carries a single action, gate loaded Rudimentary revolver which fires the more common .357 round in a five shot cylinder, and 20 .357 rounds. He also carries a kitchen knife which he found while scavenging an old kitchen for supplies. The wooden handle is rotting, but a liberal amount of duct tape is doing its job.

As necessities go, Angus makes due with the bare minimum, carrying an old 1 litre canteen for his water, a sturdy but rusty lighter, a small flask with an engraving of the Virgin Mary for irony’s sake, and a small hand shovel which is too dull to be used as a weapon.


Appearance:
Thanks to his helpful family upbringing, Angus grew up to a respectable size, somewhere around the six foot mark, depending on the day. The Irish blood in him only could keep him pale for so long under the Wasteland sun, and now he sports a fine tan, light enough to still be “pale” but dark enough to not burn. A thick mess of red-brown hair shoots out from his head, which he keeps parted to the left, in a sort of messy fashion that women seem to love. A light beard covers his jaw line and a split moustache over his lip gives the look of a dashing rogue, which women just love all the more.

Patches of his skin are harder than others, particularly a large patch over the right side of his chest, one spot on his left forearm, and a patch on his left thigh. His parents worried that it may have been from radiation, but no tests revealed anything useful. On the left side of his chest Angus has a tattoo, done during one of his many travels which he can barely recall. The tattoo is of two playing cards, one the Ace of Spades and the other the King of Clubs, though instead of the three spotted club, it’s a four leaf clover, and the King looks a lot like him.

He wears a slightly worn Vault 66 jumpsuit under a parachute harness, and a pair of reproduction Confederate cavalry boots. The parachute harness is slightly modified to hold a few rounds of ammo, like a bandolier, and incorporates a loop of leather to act as a pistol holster.

Angus O'Leary

Story:
Though he’ll tell anyone that asks that he was born in a mysterious vault filled with viscous traps and creatures that he had to fight off to get out, Angus O’Leary’s origins actually begin in Bucket Town, just outside the actual boundaries of the town. Angus’ mother and father were both rather successful adventurers, making enough through their many jobs that they built a makeshift house and settled down to grow mutatoes and maize for sale.

Angus was born into this, with his reddish-brown hair and the bright green eyes from his mother’s Irish blood. Growing up, he didn’t show too much of a penchant for genius, though he was able to learn basic math and how to read and write from his father. He did, however, show off a rather unusual amount of luck, such as when he went exploring through part of the Boneyard with his mother and survived a collapsing building with only a scratch on his elbow.

After Angus turned sixteen, his mother and father decided that he was ready to live on his own, and that they were ready to return to their life of adventuring. Parting with their son, they all agreed that every year, they would return to Bucket Town and enjoy their reunion at Bobo’s for as long as they lived and the bar stood. Before they finally took off, Angus’ parents gave him an old rudimentary revolver, which he has kept in ideal condition for as long as he’s had it.

Now free to explore the Wasteland on his own, Angus took full advantage of it. Joining up with a caravan bound north to see if anything was up there, Angus met a young woman who introduced him to alcohol. By the time they had reached north Oklahoma, he realized that he was a functioning alcoholic. Somehow, due to the fact that he was insanely drunk, Angus managed to stumble his way into, and apparently out of, the mysterious and undiscovered Vault 66, where he got his Utility Vault Jumpsuit. The Vault remains mysterious and undiscovered to this day, since Angus cannot remember where it was.

From those days onward, Angus joined up with caravaneers and scavenging parties, attempting to make enough money to fuel his apparent alcoholism. Every year, he would meet up with his parents and they would all tell stories, laughing and drinking till they parted again. However, as he grew up, he realized that he was luckier than most folk he knew. Thanks to this development, Angus left caravanning to take up solo scavenging, or as he advertises, treasure hunting.

Strength/Weaknesses:
First and foremost obvious strength for the intrepid Angus O’Leary is the luck of the Irish. This bastard is luckier than half of Bucket Town, and most of the rest of the Wasteland put together. Besides that though, Angus is pretty average amongst average Joes. A little stronger, a little faster, and a little less smart, but nothing to separate him too much. Angus has an incredible tolerance for alcohol, able to manage a level-headedness close to his sobriety even after drinking enough to knock out most others.

That said, he’s an alcoholic. He needs his drink or else he begins to experience withdrawals. Recently, he’s tried waning down, but not being too successful. He has “it”, whatever it is to women, who seem to adore him. Despite the obvious benefits of this, Angus is always looking for more than the superficial relationship they offer. So, often besides the occasional wetting of his whistle, the constant attention from women is unreturned and at times unwanted. Rarely, but sometimes.

Angus hasn’t had a full night of sleep in several years, and the low level insomnia has managed not to take too great of a toll on his life. His short temper however, that has brought about a series of lessons for him. A definite weakness, his short temper can land him in trouble when it gets the best of him. He also may be bipolar, but no one cares to test for it.

I only did this a once-over, sadly I didn't have the time to do a more in-depth reading/analyis.

But.

Angus O'Leary's Inventory

Vault 66 Jumpsuit and Harness- A Vault 66 Utility Jumpsuit under a multi-point harness that he scavenged from an old parachuting school because he thought the harness looked cool. The Jumpsuit itself bears the large 66 on the back and is the typical blue with yellow detailing of Vault-Tec jumpsuits. It’s more tear resistant than most, being a utility jumpsuit, and a few scratches have been patched up, but it still is recognizably a Vault jumpsuit.

Confederate Fedora (Tier 1 Formal Wear) - Show off your beta male fashion with this stylish grey fedoras with yellow trim. You'll be slaving your way to the friend zone on that dance floor with these bold fashion accessories.

Hand-Me-Down Revolver- His father's old rudimentary revolver, a single action, gate loaded, five cylinder piece. It fires the more common .357 ammunition and is not prone to jamming due to constant maintenance. Some light rust, but mostly gunmetal grey and black.

Homemade Shotgun (Tier 1 GC) - You're the man now dog with this single barrel 12 gauge.

Kitchen Knife- A kitchen knife which he found while scavenging an old kitchen for supplies. The wooden handle is rotting, but a liberal amount of duct tape is doing its job.

.357 Rounds- 35 of em.

12 Gauge Shells- 12 of em.

Rusty Lighter- About as basic as a rusty lighter gets. Sometimes the strikers don't catch, but it works well the rest of the time.

1 Litre Canteen- We go metric for this next bad boy. When water is so vital though, you don't care English or Metric. You just need the water

Water Skin- bought from Trapper's Trek, it's a decent little water skin, and with some ventures in the Wastes taking days, the more water the better.

Mother Mary's Flask- An old flask engraved with the image of The Virgin Mary and little baby Jesus. Definitely made for irony's sake, it's still a viable flask for alcohol though.

Hand Shovel- Besides digging, this thing is good for nothing. Which is good, because it's a shovel. It needs to dig.

(x4) Small Hide(s)- Four small hides. Exactly the right size for being useful as drinking money.

(x1)"Belinda's dream" rose seeds- Mark gave Angus these as a token of thanks for helping rescue his son. Known to grow in texas, Mark said they plant these around their gardens to help attract what few types of bees are left to help pollinate the plants. He also said they where the prettiest plant he had to offer.

(x1) Cucumber seeds- Known to be an easy plant to grow even in the texas sun, this little paper pouch of seeds is likely quite valuable to the right person. Another gift from Mark.

New Nickname - After a long trip with Javier (Blue), word is spreading about you two. The bars of full of tales of the crazy outlaw caravaners known only as The Muskogee Boys.
