-->'''Ada Straus''': Hey, pipe down, we can't talk about that here, out in the open! [[ThoughtYouMeant Oh, you mean you want a cure.]] ''Oh.''

-->'''Ada Straus''': Hey, pipe down, we can't talk about that here, out in the open. Oh, you mean you want a cure. Oh.

** He's the only person in Novac to recognize the local BitchInSheepsClothing [[spoiler:Jeannie May Crawford]], reasoning that ''everyone'' has ''something'' weird going on about them, so anyone who seems perfectly normal must be hiding it, and if they're hiding it, then it must be really bad.

* HiddenDepths: No-Bark claims to be a scientist. This information is unreliable because he's obviously crazy, but considering his advanced vocabulary (suggesting some sort of higher education, see his description of the happenings at the REPCONN factory for an example) and the amount of caps he has to bet on a game of Caravan, it's possible that he may have been one before losing his mind. It's heavily implied that he was fine until he was repeatedly stung in the head by radscorpions.

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Some of Noonan's highly implicit dialogue as well as the fact that a wrecked Highwayman with appropriate loot inside a footlocker in the trunk can be found not far from his home in Novac, and that his shack is decorated with American propaganda (possibly from the Oil Rig) suggests that this [[TalkativeLoon ranting hermit]] is in fact [[VideoGame/Fallout2 The Chosen One]] -- the man who destroyed the Enclave and ''personally killed [[SuperSoldier Frank Horrigan]]''.

* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]GentlemanSnarker: He's quite sarcastic, but very polite and even-toned while doing it. To boot, a lot of his dialogue has the script note "gentlemanly" accompanying it.

* GuestStarPartyMember: He can be talked into helping you fight the Powder Gangers in the Bison Steve Hotel and becomes a temporary companion, including the ability to give him superior armor and equipment.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Sheriff [=McBain=] was his brother-in-law through marriage to his sister. He doesn't seem too concerned with the fact the both of them were killed, instead worrying about his own skin.

* UngratefulBastard: After you rescue him, unless you pass a Speech check to make him help you, he'll run off and leave you to finish off the Powder Gangers. He also claims credit for running them out of town "with your assistance."
** Likewise, no matter how you end the quest to give Primm a new sheriff, he will blame you for losing his job in the process since the NCR doesn't need a civilian to help them and both Primm Slim and Meyers can handle the job themselves (cut content says that Meyers deputized some of the former convicts to help him).

* FantasticRacism: Glaldy asks the Courier to wipe out the ghouls at REPCONN, despite the fact they are not bothering the town aside from occasional ferals that are easily taken care of. Should the Courier help the ghouls instead and tell her that they left, Jeannie refuses to pay them and is concerned they could come back asking for handouts.

* InsufferableGenius: Along with her heavily inflated sense of self-importance, she also has a 98 in her Science skill. For comparison, a Courier with at least a 90 in their Science skill can do such things as calculate a 12.5% improvement to the REPCONN rockets' trajectory, successfully defuse a Legion bomb on the McCarran monorail, and even successfully trick the Securitron greeter (who is mere feet away from where Jane is, matter of fact) to bypass the 2000-caps credit check and let them onto the Strip.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Implied if the Courier pursues her.

* CoolOldGuy: Easy Pete is a very friendly former scavenger who happens to be armed with a wealthy supply of dynamite.

A retired prospector that settled down in Goodsprings and helps tend the bighorner cattle.

* {{Prospector}}: Pretty much fits the trope to a T, though admittedly in the post-War wasteland, a "prospector" is more likely to be a scavenger picking apart old ruins for scrap, guns, and chems to sell off than anything else.

* DirtyCoward: Chet only looks out for himself, as shown how when the Powder Gangers attack, he sits out to guard his merchandise.
* KarmaHoudini: If Chet helps the Powder Gangers defeat the Goodsprings militia, he is never punished for it and continues to operate as a trader.
* LesCollaborateurs: If you side with the Powder Gangers, Chet can be convinced to provide them armor for their siege on Goodsprings.

* NonActionGuy: Chet refuses to fight the Powder Gangers, despite the fact that almost everyone else in Goodsprings is willing to.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Chet refuses to help out in the upcoming battle, unless the player passes a barter check, reminding him that a raiding party isn't good for business.
* PetTheDog: He will give a Courier with a "Mixed" reputation a significant discount because they remind him of himself when he first came to Goodsprings.
* SoleSurvivor: If you help the Powder Gangers take over Goodsprings, he'll be the only named NPC in the town not killed since he stayed out of the gunfight and may have given supplies to help you.

A mining camp located along the I-15, Sloan and Quarry Junction are the foundations of the NCR's construction efforts in the Mojave. Sloan has experienced a considerable slowdown in business when the Powder Gangers attacked the camp and stole the entire cache of dynamite. Without blasting sticks, a pack of Deathclaws moved in when the quarry fell silent. Being put on forced leave with a barely functioning generator and no prospects for relief, the morale at Sloan has been slowly deteriorating.

The foreman of Quarry Junction. He tasks the Courier with taking out the Deathclaws in Quarry Junction.

* HandsOffParenting: The Great Khans are a tough gang, a historic enemy of his people and their initiations are no picnic, but that's the path his daughter has chosen and he's fine with that. He doesn't police [[spoiler:her drug-trade]] either, feeling that her choices are her own.
* NPCRoadblock: Downplayed. While he won't ''technically'' stop you from heading north past Sloan, he's scripted to automatically discourage you the first time you pass by the area, citing the local Deathclaw population.
* ParentChildTeam: He's the father of Melissa, the Great Khan camped out at the other end of Quarry Junction. He's also the middle-man for her [[spoiler:under-the-table chem dealings]].
* SensingYouAreOutmatched: If you're below Level 15 and you suggest you want to get rid of the Deathclaws, he'll outright tell you you're too weak and won't give you the quest (or the Stimpaks that would help). [[SubvertedTrope Not that this stops you from actually taking the creatures down, of course]].

Sloan's resident chef who runs the mess hall. She asks the Courier to bring her a Deathclaw Egg so she can cook her great-aunt's famous omelet.

* CallBack: Jas' great-aunt Rose is a side character in ''VideoGame/Fallout2'', and Jas herself will mention the outcome of the "Kill the 'chicken'" quest from that game, in which the Chosen One slaughters her egg-laying pet Deathclaw seemingly for shits and giggles.

* SupremeChef: She can prepare the Wasteland Omelet, one of the most powerful food items in the game. She also teaches you the recipe.

A friendly mole rat and the quarry workers' pet.

* TokenHeroicOrc: The only mole rat in the game that is passive even without the [[FriendToAllLivingThings Animal Friend]] perk.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: If you have the requisite Medicine level, you can fix his broken leg, prompting him to be extremely happy every time you interact with him afterward.

A tiny town on the border of California and Nevada, it is one the first and last stops of travels in and out of the Mojave. Pre-War, Primm was a "budget Vegas": a place to gamble and have fun without spending too much money. Post-War Primm has seen better days. With the sheriff dead and escaped convicts taking over the Bison Steve Hotel, Primm’s citizens took refuge in the Vikki & Vance Casino. With no law enforcement and the NCR soldiers lacking reinforcements to take order, the people of Primm are in desperate need of somebody to take control of the situation.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Jude Ciccolella and Marianne Muellerleile, respectively

Johnson and Ruby Nash are an elderly couple living in Primm who run the local branch of the Mojave Express.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Johnson Nash. Best shown if you clear the escaped convicts out of the town, then go and ask him about the NCR's plans for taking back the town. At first, he'll try to get you to pay for the information, but if you threaten to just storm in there yourself, he'll give it to you for free:

* SupremeChef: It takes a special kind of woman to figure out how to make a delicious meal out of highly deadly radscorpion venom.

Deputy Sheriff of Primm, and brother-in-law to former Sheriff [=McBain=] through [=McBain's=] marriage to his sister. Beagle saw Benny and his cronies pass through the city, but is reluctant to help since you find him in the middle of a hostage crisis with the Powder Gangers.

* CluelessDeputy: It's pretty clear that he's way in over his head. When Sheriff [=McBain=] gets killed, he was sleeping in the office and gets himself captured quite easily. Neither Meyers nor Primm Slim let him keep his position as deputy if they become sheriff.
* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]GentlemanSnarker: He's quite sarcastic, but very polite and even-toned while doing it. A lot of his dialogue has the script note "gentlemanly" accompanying it.
* DirtyCoward: Deeply and unashamed of it. He'll run off to let you deal with the Powder Gangers alone, repeatedly expresses hesitation to fight if you talk him into staying, and has no interest in being made the new Sheriff.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Sheriff [=McBain=] was his brother-in-law through marriage to his sister. He doesn't seem too concerned with the fact they're dead and is more worried about his own skin.
* {{Malaproper}}: He has a comparatively advanced vocabulary above the normal wastelander, but mispronounces a lot of words at the same time.
* {{Nepotism}}: According to Johnson Nash, the only reason he's the deputy is because he's the brother of the sheriff's wife.

** Likewise, no matter how you end the quest to give Primm a new sheriff, he will blame you for losing his job in the process since the NCR doesn't need a civilian to help them and Primm Slim can handle himself, like Meyers (cut content in the case of Meyers had him hire reformed NCRCF inmates as his deputies).

Primm Slim is a guard robot, historian, and caretaker for the Vikki and Vance Casino. Primm Slim is also a huge source of information for the Courier and will speak at great lengths about Primm, Vikki, Vance, the Bison Steve Hotel and the casino. If the player chooses so, they can make Primm Slim the new sheriff of Primm.

* ByTheBookCop: If he becomes sheriff of Primm, Beagle notes that "the law to him is a set of logic," in contrast to the CowboyCop Meyers.

* MightyGlacier: If he becomes the new sheriff of Primm, it's noted that while mostly competent at his job, his lack of mobility makes him easy to outrun by criminals.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a cowboy robot tour guide, and depending on your actions, he can become a cowboy robot tour guide sheriff.
