History Characters / Fallout2024

* LoveInterestTraitor: Lucy's new Vault 32 "husband" Monty tries to kill her after they consummate their "marriage", revealing that he and the other residents of Vault 32 are actually hostile raiders.

* TheApunkalypse: Many of them sport shaved heads, tattoos and beards, contrasting greatly with the clean cut appearances of Vault 33's residents and providing the first clue that they're not what they seem.
* PostApunkalypticArmor: After they reveal themselves, many of them don pieces of leather and other improvised armor over their jumpsuits, not that it does them much good against Lucy's tranquilizer gun.

** Unbeknownst entirely to Lucy, he pays her back for her act of kindness at the end of episode 4 at the start of episode 5 by showing no hesitation claiming sole responsibility for the deaths of the organ traffickers in the Super Duper Mart; he could have could been on his way by just explaining the truth of what happened to Booker, but instead decided to protect Lucy from having a bounty put on her head, something she almost certainly wouldn't be ready to handle.

* FauxAffablyEvil: At first, Monty seems cordial and friendly enough, and appears eager to be with Lucy and sleep with her. Of course, its only because he just wants to have a bit more fun before he and the raiders try to kill the Vault 33 residents.
* HateSink: There's a special despicability for anyone to marry an eager young-woman, sleep with her, then try to violently kill her and her community immediately afterwards.

* AssholeVictim: After exploiting Lucy and trying to brutally mutilate her, he gets beaten up by Overseer Hank with a shovel, who then proceeds to drown the raider in a barrel of pickles.
* AxCrazy: Once the pretenses of being a vault-resident disappear, Monty is shown to be an especially violent raider who tries to cut and stab Lucy with his dagger, and even tries to choke her to death.

* ThroatSlash: He's on the receiving end of this. As Monty tries to choke Lucy, she desperately breaks a glass and slashes it across his neck & face. Though it enables her to escape, [[FacialHorror It doesn't kill him]].

[[folder:Vault 31 Overseer]]
!!Bud Askins
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Michael Esper

->''"...the future of humanity comes down to one word: Management."''

A Vault-Tec executive and Barb's supervisor, whose only loves in life are protecting the company and innovating new and improved management processes.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler:Some tension comes into his friendship with Reg when they start competing for the title of Overseer, but neither of them get it and when Woody is reassigned away from Vault 33, he looks devastated to be separated from his buddy.]]

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Teases Lucy about her new husband and what she thinks he'll look like, but its clear it's all good natured and the two get along incredibly well.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the show she is a stand-in for the Vault-Dweller PlayerCharacter of the first three games, namely the Lone Wanderer whom she thematically mirrors. However while the Lone Wanderer is a [[OneManArmy One Man/Woman Army]] that can plow through enemies like a MookHorrorShow and typically is armed to the teeth, Lucy by contrast is a ActionSurvivor who almost dies many times, loses her finger, and is captured and tortured by Cooper the Ghoul. It's not until Episode 4 that Lucy starts TakingALevelInBadass and becomes more capable like the Lone Wanderer and other ''Fallout'' protagonists.

* BreakTheCutie: ''Boy howdy''. Originally chipper, optimistic, and hopelessly naive about the surface and its dangers, she ends up far more jaded, cynical, and violent after only a couple weeks of wandering around on the Wasteland.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: [[spoiler:Maximus in power armor ends up crushing his foot and the injury is severe enough it may have been fatal. Unfortunately, the cure the Snake Oil Salesman sells him comes with a few [[KarmicTransformation side-effects.]]]]

A fellow Aspirant who is seen bullying Maximus at boot camp, who is later reassigned to be "Titus'" Squire after Maximus' "death", initially unaware that Maximus has assumed the identity of Titus

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He ends up being turned into a Ghoul right after leaving Maximus for dead and trapping Dogmeat in a Nuka-Cola cooler.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Lucy is introduced happily listing her qualities to the Vault managers, showing that she's confident, intelligent, dedicated to her vault's success [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and her genital organs are healthy]]. When Chet tries to sabotage her wedding out of love for her, she gently fixes the situation by reasoning with him without hurting his feelings, showing that she's very empathetic and prefers solving conflicts with communication. And lastly, she shows herself to be a competent fighter during the raider attack, establishing that she could defend herself in the Wasteland.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When confronted by Lucy about dropping a nuclear bomb on Shady Sands, his only response was that it had to be done. However,

* BlueAnd OrangeMorality: Like most Mr Handy's he's extremely polite, totally loyal to his employers , and perfect happy to cut up innocent people for them. He doesn't seem to understand why anyone would get upset about this.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He was horrified when Lucy thought the Ghoul sold her to be a SexSlave. [[spoiler:He will harvest her organs, though.]]

* InnocentlyInsensitive: After the incident described under ChasteHero above, a later scene has him become more comfortable with Lucy and ask if she'd still like to make his "cock explode". He phrases this in about the most playful, innocent way imaginable.

** His murder of an ex-NCR ranger's two sons, especially the second. He goads the ranger's younger son into grabbing a weapon to avenge his older brother, only so he would have an excuse to kill him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His theme jas distorted cowboy yodeling in it.

* [[TrophyWife Trophy Husband]]: While Cooper had a successful career outside of his marriage, Barbara was a senior member of one of the biggest [[MegaCorp MegaCorps]] ''on Earth''. [[spoiler:Notably, after the divorce, Cooper's acting prospects seemed to have dried up.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: After so many flashbacks with her as the MoralityChain for Cooper and the one good person on the company board, Barbara turns out to be the one who ''suggested'' the nuclear war in the first place.]] It's no wonder Cooper turned out so bitter after realizing how twisted his love was.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: After so many flashbacks with her as the MoralityChain for Cooper and the one good person on the company board, Barbara turns out to be the one who [[spoiler:''suggested'' the nuclear war in the first place.]] It's no wonder Cooper turned out so bitter after realizing how twisted his love was.

* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be in on the conspiracy of not only Vault-Tec's unethical (and sometimes lethal) experiments, but also proposed dropping the bomb in the first place. It's implied that Cooper divorced her after discovering her plans.]]

* BrainyBrunette: The brunette Lucy is knowledgeable with pre-war American history including teaching in for the children of Vault 33.

* CharacterCatchphrase: "Okie-dokie!" Her usual chirpy affirmation whenever something is presented in front of her. [[spoiler:Gets a DarkReprise when she chooses to go with The Ghoul in the season finale after discovering that her father was partially responsible for instigating the end of the Old World and ''personally'' responsible for nuking Shady Sands and dealing a potentially mortal blow to the NCR in the process; it's still an affirmation, but one now made with the knowledge and weight of what she's discovered about the wasteland coloring it.]]

** Like the Lone Wanderer, she leaves her vault looking her father, who she eventually finds out [[spoiler:is not an original vault dweller and actually has a long history in the outside world.]] And similar to the Wanderer, her father's actions catapult her into a crucial role in [[spoiler:introducing a life-altering and heavily embattled piece of technology to the Wasteland]].
** Like the Sole Survivor, [[spoiler:her immediate family (in a Lucy's case, her Father; and in the Survivor's case their son) turns out to be EvilAllAlong and considerably older than she thought he would be]]. Additionally, Lucy [[spoiler:also finds her mother]], who [[spoiler:just like Shaun, is sick beyond saving, in her case being severe ghoulification.]]

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: In a roundabout way to the Undead from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', at least moreso than most ghouls are; The Ghoul is cursed with being NighImmortal and routinely needs to take a remedy to keep himself from degenerating in mind and body, much like the Undead are functionally immortal but need to consume Humanity to stay sane and prevent themselves from Hollowing. [[spoiler:Cooper's attachment to the memories of his daughter is implied to be the thing that has truly kept him sane throughout the years compared to other ghouls who've gone feral due to completely losing their goals, aspirations, and sense of self before degenerating into a violent subhuman monster, much like how clinging to a purpose or goal can work just as well as consuming Humanity to stave off Hollowing in an Undead and, in many cases, an Undead NPC in those games will go Hollow and try to attack you after you help them complete their questline since they no longer have a purpose to strive for.]]
