| 20 | !!The Appalachian Free States |
| 21 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 22 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fo76_free_states.png]] |
| 23 | A loose group of [[BombThrowingAnarchists Anarchists]], [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic Libertarians]], and [[CrazySurvivalist preppers]] who tried to secede from the United States before the Great War. They were largely based in Harpers Ferry, the site of John Brown's famous raid. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * ConspiracyTheorist: They were convinced that the Vault program was corrupt or at least flawed. [[ProperlyParanoid They were right.]] |
| 26 | * GondorCallsForAid: The Responders allied with them when the Scorched started to become a bigger threat. [[ForegoneConclusion Unfortunately, it was too late at that point.]] |
| 27 | * GraffitiOfTheResistance: Vandalized the government's propaganda posters in Harpers Ferry (see below) with slogans such as "Government Lies", "Know the Truth ~ Be Prepared ~ Freedom", and "Save Yourself - War Is Coming". |
| 28 | * RedScare: On the receiving end of this, with such charming slogans as: "Only A Communist Spy Turns His Back On America"; "The Gateway to Communism"; and [[WithUsOrAgainstUs "You're Either With Us or Against Us"]]. |
| 29 | * SurvivalistStash: They left a bunch of these around Appalachia, inside their, sadly, inferior bunkers. |
| 30 | * UntrustingCommunity: Pre-War, they were pretty much this. They thawed out after the War, turning Harpers Ferry into one of the nicest places to live in Appalachia. |
| 31 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Free States is comprised of various groups who don't have much in common other than a mutual opposition to the government and a common desire for freedom. After the Great War, however, the ones in Appalachia at least had become more akin to FireForgedFriends. |

| 34 | [[folder:Senator Sam Blackwell]] |
| 35 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_blackwell.png]] |
| 36 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jason Linere-White |
| 37 | Congressman for the Appalachian Territory/Commonwealth, also a founding member of the Free States due to his paranoia of the impending [[WorldWarIII nuclear war]] between the Chinese and United States. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * CassandraTruth: He warned his daughter about his encounter with a scorchbeast, but she initially dismissed it as a hallucination caused by his deteriorating neurological state. Judy soon changed her mind when it chased after her to the bunker. |
| 40 | * DeathSeeker: He basically gave up on life [[OutlivingOnesOffspring after losing his daughter Judith]], on top of his ailing mind, so much so that when the Enclave finally sent an agent to assassinate him in his bunker, he couldn't care less. |
| 41 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Blackwell dug deeper into his investigation of Thomas Eckhart's activities in which it led to learning the Enclave's existence, thus putting him and his daughter in danger. [[spoiler:He winds up assassinated by Eckhart's underling Jefferson Grey.]] |
| 42 | * MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: [[spoiler:He was forced to kill an Enclave operative, who recognized him in Harpers Ferry, and made his death look like an animal attack. The Enclave were not fooled.]] |
| 43 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Blackwell's daughter, Judy, dies in his arms from an unspecified disease. |
| 44 | * ProperlyParanoid: He was entirely right to think he was under scrutiny. [[spoiler:Even after the Great War, the Enclave - under the orders of Eckhart - assassinates him.]] |
| 45 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He was a union activist and senatorial muckraker who favored the people over rich elites and exposing political corruption. |
| 46 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: He began to develop Alzheimer's prior to the Great War, but managed to stay in reasonably good condition thanks to the support of his daughter, despite the lack of modern medical support. Despite the disease, however, his mental faculties were apparently still sharp enough to allow him to spot a disguised Enclave operative and eliminated him without anyone in Harper's Ferry noticing, and even picked up the presence of a spycraft that Eckhart sent to investigate even though it was cloaked to prevent detection. |

| 52 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Bruce Barker |
| 53 | Co-founder of the Free States and public representative of the group while Senator Blackwell worked things from the shadows in his Congressional position. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | |
| 56 | * AllForNothing: His efforts to rebuild and fortify Harpers Ferry came undone when the Scorched attacked. |
| 57 | * DramaticIrony: He was angered that his oldest friend Sam Blackwell was nowhere to be found when the Scorched attacked, completely unaware that Blackwell [[spoiler: had already been assassinated by an Enclave operative.]] |
| 58 | * ItIsBeyondSaving: His initial assessment of Harpers Ferry post-war; the town's mayor asked him for help with rebuilding, but when he got to the town it was in such a pitiful state he originally wanted to leave it to die. He only changed his mind due to his daughter Marty's sympathy for the survivors. |
| 59 | * UncertainDoom: His bunker is long deserted by the time the Resident reaches it, but there is no hard evidence of his death. |

| 66 | |
| 67 | A medical expert that served the Free States, and later, researched the various crazy happenings with the Mire. |
| 68 | ---- |
| 69 | * TheMedic: Before the bombs dropped, she got a PHD in Medical Science from Vault-Tec University, and worked for a time as a doctor. After the war, and after she was a member of the Free States, she provided medical services to other Free Staters, and even came up with [=RadShield=], a drug that protects the user against radiation even better than Rad-X, using the Strangler Pods all over the Mire as a source for the [=RadShield=]. |

| 79 | * CantBelieveISaidThat: Berated herself for twice botching her introductory holotape. |
| 80 | * DeadManWriting: Left behind a series of holotape recordings and terminal entries explaining to anyone who found them how to complete the Free States' Scorched Detection System in the event of her death. |
| 81 | * LostPetGrievance: Blamed her brother Calvin for the loss of their dog Dax. |
| 82 | * MissingMom: Her mother Geneva passed away before she and the rest of her family moved into their bunker. |
| 83 | * TakeUpMySword: Ultimately decides to finish her father's work on the Scorched Detection System after his death, and implores the Resident via holotape to do the same in the event of her own death. |
| 84 | * UncertainDoom: Much like Raleigh Clay, there is no firm evidence of her presumed death (though it is implied that at the very least, she failed in her mission to recover Hank Madigan's uplink, as it's still sitting in the Raiders' cache at Pleasant Valley once the Resident gets inside, and Rose never mentions meeting her). |

| 92 | The overall head of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company, currently visiting their operations in Appalachia. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | |
| 95 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: Deliberately delayed speaking to the Brotherhood of Steel over people disappearing from her caravans because she was trying to solve the matter internally to avoid the perpetrators being tipped off and potentially fleeing. |
| 96 | * FamilyBusiness: Inherited a Blue Ridge Parkway trucking company from her late grandfather nearly 30 years ago (as her father was not well enough to take over the business himself). After the bombs fell, she continued the business by running Brahmin caravans along the same route. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |

| 102 | The regional manager of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company's Appalachian operations. He oversees operations at Big Bend Tunnel East and provides the Vault Dweller 7 sidequests that can be done once regarding the staff, and the Riding Shotgun event. |
| 103 | ---- |

| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | |
| 114 | * DelicateAndSickly: Was suffering from a terrible cough and lack of weight not long after the bombs dropped, so his mother Deborah and family friend Shelley van Lowe (Aries' sister, who would later become Deborah's wife) took Carver to a settlement in Kentucky. |
| 115 | * DramaticIrony: He told Joanna Mayfield that he would prefer not to be paired up with Aries during caravan escorts, as he thinks Aries hates him and considers him a "weaking loser"; however, a discarded letter in Mayfield's office reveals that Aries is actually very fond of Carver. |
| 116 | * FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Took his mother Deborah's place on the caravan as she came down with a severe illness that rendered her unable to continue working, and his stepmother Shelley was unable to join the caravan due to her existing work as a trapper. |
| 117 | * GoodStepmother: After his father Gregory disappeared in the wake of the Great War and was presumed dead when Carver was still a baby, Deborah's family friend Shelley van Lowe helped her raise Carver, and Carver grew to admire Shelley for her bravery and strength. Deborah and Shelley later fell in love and married, making Shelley Carver's stepmother (and by extension making Shelley's brother Calvin, now known as Aries, his step-uncle). |
| 118 | * ShrinkingViolet: Is nervous and insecure, hesitates in critical situations, and has been described as fragile. |
| 119 | * UnknownRelative: Is initially unaware Aries is his step-uncle, though the Resident can inform Carver of their relation by giving Aries' Project Adonais holotapes to him. |

| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | |
| 128 | * BandOfBrothers: Prefers guarding caravans alongside Libby Wen over any of the other guards, as things run a lot more smoothly with her in charge, due to her professional behaviour as a result of her rigid upbringing. |
| 129 | * FantasticRacism: Used to live in a ghoul compound where she spent a decade hiding from people that would kill her and her kind on sight just for being who they were. |
| 130 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Used to sell guns and gear from the ghoul community she used to live with, but no longer does so after she had a falling out with them, due to objecting to what they did with their share of the proceeds. Subverted in that she still gets letters from them from time to time despite this. |

| 136 | One of the merchants of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. Before the Great War, he used to cook with his grandmother, who passed away. Before Blue Ridge, he worked at his family's cannery and bakery, before his brothers wanted him to leave. He is assigned with Aries during the Riding Shotgun event. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | |
| 139 | * VideoGameCaringPotential: Before completing his Costa Business quest, you can taste his cooking and say it tastes good. |
| 140 | * VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The opposite can be true, you can criticize it by calling it bland, or ask him if you met Esme from the Refuge because its burnt. Or you can refuse to taste it. |

| 148 | ---- |
| 149 | * ICallItVera: Uses a gun that her grandfather left her, which she named "Jarvey" after the Silver Shroud's butler, Jarvey Blake (as she and her grandfather often used to listen to the Silver Shroud's radio plays together). |

| 155 | |
| 156 | One of the guards of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. Mostly untalkable and moody, he tried different jobs before settling as a guard. During Riding Shotgun, he is the guard for Eugenie escorting the Brahmin. |
| 157 | ---- |
| 158 | * ShoutOut: According to Carl [=McKevitt=], his initials and employment history (fisherman, bartender and professional singer) are a subtle reference to the original protagonist of Sega's ''[[VideoGame/LikeADragon Yakuza]]'' series, Kazuma Kiryu. |

| 165 | Formerly Calvin van Lowe, Aries was a cryptid hunter and worked for Bysshe Company before the Great War. After the Great War, he started working in the Blue Ridge Caravan Company as a guard, and is the step-uncle of Carver Timmerman. During Riding Shotgun, he is assigned to guard Rudy Fernandez. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: He's actually Calvin van Lowe, a cryptid hunter who in the ''Wild Appalachia'' expansion has a sidequest chain where the Resident investigates his research and eventual fate. |
| 168 | * LegacySeeker: Recorded a series of holotapes named "Protocol Adonais" to serve as his own eulogy in the event of his death. |
| 169 | * MaskingTheDeformity: Permanently wears a gas mask to hide his facial scarring, as well to stabilize his injuries and help him breathe. |
| 170 | * MeaningfulRename: Calvin's alias, "Aries", is the Western zodiac sign of the ram (male sheep), referencing his past as a Sheepsquatch hunter. |
| 171 | * MortalityPhobia: As he grew up, he became fearful about the idea of dying, and particularly about dying alone, being forgotten and not having any friends to read his eulogy. |
| 172 | * NotQuiteDead: In the Imposter Sheepsquatch questline in ''Wild Appalachia'', it was all but stated that he was torn apart by the titular beast after it went rogue. As it turns out, he actually survived, though [[TearOffYourFace not unscathed]]. |
| 173 | * TearOffYourFace: Suffered this fate at the hands of the "Imposter Sheepsquatch" Assaultron after his reprogramming of the robot went awry. |

| 183 | * PhotographicMemory: Claims to have one, which assists her in recreating the plans that she sells. |
| 184 | * TheApprentice: Served as one to a bookseller after she joined the Blue Ridge Caravan Company, even learning from him how to copy books by hand. She ended up taking over his caravan and expanding its inventory after his death. |

| 190 | A merchant who runs the general store at the Middle Mountain Pitstop. |
| 191 | ---- |
| 192 | |
| 193 | * FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: In both a figurative and literal sense. Her father used to own the Mountainside Bed & Breakfast and was also a trucker for the Blue Ridge Company pre-war, which inspired Vera to become a caravanner herself. She also wants to visit her father's old trucker pitstops in person one day, though isn't able to at the moment due to her work commitments. |
| 194 | * MissingMom: Her mother passed away some time ago, and as a result her father has been in low spirits ever since. |
| 195 | * {{Nepotism}}: Joanna gave her the merchant position at the Middle Mountain Pitstop due to knowing her father pre-war. |

| 203 | The bartender of the Boozin' Brahmin at the Middle Mountain Pitstop. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | |
| 206 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's a former raider and has an intimidating appearance, but according to Vera, he's "a big softy really once he gets to know ya." |
| 207 | * DramaticEllipsis: How all of his "dialogue" is rendered. |
| 208 | * DrowningMySorrows: The nature of his first customer, who was suffering from a massive case of SurvivorGuilt due to deserting the Foundation Outpost after it was besieged by super mutants, and thus becoming the only survivor of the attack. Clyde fears he's only going to succeed in drowning himself. |
| 209 | * FacialDialogue: Has to use facial expressions to communicate due to the loss of his tongue and voice. |
| 210 | * MachoLatino: Implied to be of Hispanic heritage due to his usage of Spanish slang in his terminal logs. |
| 211 | * NoodleIncident: How exactly Clyde lost his tongue is the subject of various rumors and theories, ranging from a run-in with raiders to a bad radscorpion stew. |
| 212 | * SilentSnarker: He smirks if he notices the Resident is drunk or high on chems (as he thinks they'll likely be a good customer), gives them an annoyed look if told he's "not much of a talker" (as if to say, "What do you think?"), and shrugs and glares at Vera if she asks him to carry a notepad so others can understand him. |
| 213 | * TheSpeechless: Was rendered mute due to the [[TongueTrauma loss of his tongue]]. |
| 214 | * TwoShotsFromBehindTheBar: Had to use his shotgun to drive off a couple of raider customers when they started a drunken brawl with each other over who was going to pay the tab and one of them pulled a knife on the other. |
| 215 | * WorkOffTheDebt: He would rather be roaming the wasteland like the Resident does, but is stuck working at the pitstop due to owing a debt to Vinny Costa. |

| 223 | |
| 224 | * AscendedExtra: He appears in person in the first ''Expeditions: Atlantic City'' update ''Boardwalk Paradise'' after originally being mentioned in a note in ''Steel Reign'' as an off-duty guard on the second caravan joined by [[ArcVillain Dr. Edgar Blackburn]]. |
| 225 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Mentions he's seen vault dwellers selling goods through automated vendors at their [=CAMP=]s but is unsure how exactly said vendors work, though he assumes it's some form of Vault-Tec trade secret. |
| 226 | * MockMillionaire: Tells people his nickname "Bills" comes from the fact he used to be a millionaire before the Great War but, if pressed via a 4+ Intelligence check, will confide that the nickname actually came from all the bills he owed pre-war (debts which the apocalypse conveniently wiped out). |

| 233 | The security detail of Vault 79, descended from the pre-war US government agency of the same name. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | |
| 236 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: |
| 237 | ** The Secret Service is still part of the Department of the Treasury in this game, whereas in real life it was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 (thus implying 9/11 never happened in Fallout's universe). |
| 238 | ** Their assignment to protect the gold reserves at Vault 79 harks backs somewhat to the agency's original job of investigating counterfeit currency. |
| 239 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Unlike the Secret Service in ''Fallout 2'', who were explicitly part of the Enclave, the Secret Service's operations in Appalachia appear to have no direct connection to the Enclave, if Slick's lack of awareness of the President evacuating to the Poseidon Oil Rig is any indication. |
| 240 | * {{Pun}}: Vault 79's number is derived from the atomic number for gold. |
| 241 | * SheKnowsTooMuch: Their agents executed "vigilant citizen" Flavia Stabo in the summer of 2077 when she got too close to the Vault, burying her remains in a shallow grave just outside the Vault's entrance. |
| 242 | * SubterraneanSanityFailure: The agents gradually retreated into their own sections of the vault after it was sealed, and barely spoke to each other before Mercy fell pregnant with Maggie and they banded together to raise her. |
| 243 | * SunglassesAtNight: All its agents constantly wear sunglasses despite spending most of their time in a Vault. |

| 259 | * MinoredInAssKicking: While he is an accomplished field agent, he prefers to resolve things diplomatically if possible, unlike the other agents who tend to "shoot first, arrest later". |
| 260 | * OnlySaneEmployee: Ridicules the Secret Service's attempts to restore the gold standard despite the collapse of civilization, as well as the organization's continued existence in general, considering there's no longer a president to protect or any kind of federal government to serve. He only remains loyal to the organization because he prefers remaining in Vault 79 to living out in the wasteland. |

| 267 | Vault 79's head of security. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: Downplayed; despite not being a social butterfly, Mercy often found herself making excuses to visit the other agents every so often just to hear another human's voice. |

| 281 | * ChildOfForbiddenLove: She is regarded as this by Regs, who considered her conception a breach of regulations. |
| 282 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted; Maggie hates being called "PITA" to her face. |
| 283 | * GroinAttack: Despite their overall good relationship, she once punched Slick in the nuts just for laughing at her. |
| 284 | * JerkassToOne: Inverted; Slick is the only agent besides her mother that she gets along with. |
| 285 | * MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Was the result of an unplanned pregnancy in the Vault. Mercy never revealed who the father was and none of the male agents claimed Maggie as their own; instead, they [[GiveTheBabyAFather all decided to co-parent Maggie together]] alongside her mother. |
| 286 | * TheGunfighterWannabe: Downplayed; Mercy had to confiscate Maggie's bullets after a bot pissed her off and she tried to shoot it, but Mercy insists that Maggie will go far in the post-nuclear world if she can keep her alive long enough. |
| 287 | * YoungGun: Already has experience using a silenced 10mm pistol (Mercy first taught her how to shoot when she was only four years old), and says her mom is planning to give her a scoped .44 pistol for her birthday as well. |

| 306 | * DoubleMeaning: His nickname "Regs" is short for both "Reginald" (his first name) and "regulations" (reflecting his adherence to rules and generally by-the-book way of life). |

| 316 | * LaResistance: Became this after the Fanatics drove them out of their home. |
| 317 | * TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Following the nuclear devastation of the Great War, the Union reorganized to restore Pittsburgh to its former glory using their industrial strength, as well as bring order and stability to the region. They even managed to surpass the Brotherhood of Steel's efforts by producing new pre-war quality equipment (rather than merely salvaging it) after they restored the local steel mill and foundry. Even after being driven out of their home and workplace by the Fanatics, the Union continued to fight to reclaim their home, even managing to reform some of the Fanatics in the process. |
| 318 | * TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: Up to four players at once can make an expedition to the Pitt to assist the Union in their fight against the Fanatics. |
| 319 | * WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The Union ended up being driven out of their home by the Fanatics because they initially tried to peacefully coexist with them at a distance, and did not take them seriously as a threat until it was too late. |

| 359 | * ChurchLady: A positive example. |
| 360 | * DivineIntervention: Attributes her escape from the Sanctum to this, due to the Fanatics' guards all averting their eyes from her during her escape; however, she stops short of calling it a miracle, merely describing it as "only the Lord allowing me to do his work". |
| 361 | * DueToTheDead: Asks the Resident to retrieve the tracking collars of fallen prisoners, so she can lay their souls to rest. In her own words, "If we cannot respect the dead, there is no hope for the living." |
| 362 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Believes the Fanatics are suffering and think themselves beyond redemption, which is why "they march ever deeper towards perdition". |

| 383 | * KickedUpstairs: Implied. When working for Nuka-World in Massachusetts pre-war, he had to treat and report hundreds of injuries and even two fatalities caused by malfunctioning rides. He attempted to raise ride safety concerns with Nuka-Cola's CEO John-Caleb Bradberton, but got no reply. Four days later, he was offered and accepted a field medic position with Nuka-World on Tour. He viewed it as a high-ranking position, but his parents did not share that impression, saying being in charge of a theme park tent wasn't a real medical profession. |

| 393 | * IMissMom: Suffers from depression as a result of the loss of his parents in a raider attack as well as the trauma of living in a post-apocalyptic world. |
| 394 | * ObliviousToLove: Mentions that Betty invited him to ride the Tunnel of Love with her, but doesn't understand why she can't just go alone, and empathizes with the Resident if they reply "Yeah, love's not really for me, either." |

| 405 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Was given the unflattering nickname "Missy" by her father, as he felt her existence only drew misfortune. |

| 407 | * MaternityCrisis: Her parents were on their way to the AVR Medical Center before her birth but never made it there before Betty's mother went into labor, forcing her to give birth at the Belching Betty mine instead. |

| 423 | The Lombardi Family's accountant, and players' contact in the Atlantic City expedition "Tax Evasion". |
| 424 | ---- |
| 425 | * AuthorityInNameOnly: His official job title is "Chief Operating Officer", but in practice he's more like a glorified bookkeeper. |
| 426 | * EmbarrassingNickname: His nickname of "Billy Beltbuckles" stems from the fact that he wears about 50 belts to avoid being pantsed again like Sal did to him earlier in the job. |
| 427 | * LiteralMinded: Doesn't understand why a gun is called an "automatic" when it doesn't load itself. |
| 428 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: He is ''really'' not cut out for life in the mob; not only is he very sensitive, he can't even bear to kill insects, much less people. |
| 429 | * {{Nepotism}}: Only got his job as the Family's accountant because of his father's high-ranking position in the mob. |
| 430 | * NotWhatISignedOnFor: Billy was hoping his job would be a "cushy" position that only focused on book-balancing, cost-cutting and "maybe a few white lies", and was horrified when the Family's de facto leader Concerta started asking him to outright falsify accounts to cover up excessive medical and medication bills, as his father never told him about that side of the job. |
| 431 | * OrganizedCrimeSidequest: The "Tax Evasion" expedition he presides over is this. |
| 432 | * VillainRespect: Despite fearing harassment by their auditors, he is otherwise quite grateful for the Munis' governance, as they keep the city running and keep all the casino's customers alive. |

| 439 | ---- |
| 440 | * DirtyCoward: Prefers to hang back in Lombardi's Bar while his associates (including the Resident) do the dirty work of raiding the casino, because of all the unwanted attention Billy has attracted from the Showmen and the Munis. |
| 441 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Gets sour because he feels the Family doesn't appreciate his talents. |
| 442 | * EmbarrassingNickname: "Sticky Fingers", which is not a figurative nickname, as one would expect of a thief or pickpocket, but a literal one; his hands are prone to sweating, which leaves his fingers literally sticky once the sweat dries (though he denies this and insists his doctors told him he doesn't sweat any more than average). |
| 443 | * IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: What keeps him at the bottom of the mob's food chain. |
| 444 | * InadequateInheritor: While his father was one of the most respected members of the Lombardi Family before the Great War, Sal is nowhere near the mobster that his father was and commands far less respect as a result. |
| 445 | * NeverMyFault: He refuses to believe his prank on Billy was cruel or improper or that it may have even permanently traumatized him, instead insisting that Billy is far too sensitive for his own good. |
| 446 | * PrankGoneTooFar: He pantsed Billy early in his job in an attempt to get him to loosen up, but Billy's pants ended up sticking to his hands, so when he went to pull Billy's pants down, he accidentally pulled them clean off instead, and the resultant embarrassment may well have scarred Billy for life. |
| 447 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Claims he metaphorically runs the joint in spite of his low-ranking position. |

| 455 | * SpiritualSuccessor: While it has its roots in Atlantic City's pre-war government first incorporated in 1854, the post-war Municipal Government is technically a new institution. |
| 456 | * WorthlessYellowRocks: The city's stockpiles of cash became this after the Great War once the economy shifted to bottle caps as currency. |

| 462 | ---- |
| 463 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: His violent retaliation against the Lombardi Family's attempted raid of his farm ultimately led to him becoming Atlantic City's new mayor. |
| 464 | * BenevolentDictator: Despite usurping the position of mayor from Carly Day, he and his wife Frieda did such a good job of restoring Atlantic City to prosperity that the other Munis think very highly of him, seeing his government as the pillar that keeps Atlantic City from collapsing. |
| 465 | * CallToAgriculture: Inverted; the collapsing government of Atlantic City forced him to leave his farm and move into politics. |
| 466 | * CorneredRattlesnake: When a raiding party sent by the Lombardi Family tried to shake down his farm for their harvest, Tim fought back and killed all but one of them. |
| 467 | * DeadpanSnarker: When asked how he became mayor, he initially jokes that he convinced his livestock to vote for him. |
| 468 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: His reasoning for usurping Carly Day as mayor; he knew that the city was on the verge of completely collapsing due to Day's mismanagement if he didn't do something. |
| 469 | * MarriedToTheJob: To the extent that his wife Frieda jokes that sometimes it feels like she and Tim are less of a couple and more of a throuple along with the city. |

| 474 | Head of the Muni divisions that provide power and water to Atlantic City. She is also the wife of its mayor, Timothy Lane. |
| 475 | ---- |
| 476 | * CareerVersusMan: Reconstructed. Rather than force her to choose between him and her career, Tim promised to pay for her engineering degree with the profits from his farm, a promise he fulfilled after their marriage. This paid off in spades, as Frieda's engineering background proved vital in maintaining the farm's equipment, as well as purifying the farm's soil of nuclear fallout after the Great War, and later in getting the city back up and running after Tim became mayor. |

| 482 | A former gang member who is now the head enforcer of the Munis' Internal Revenue Service. Appears in the expeditions "Tax Evasion" (where he serves as the final boss) and "The Human Condition" (where he provides additional tasks to the player). |
| 483 | ---- |
| 484 | * AppropriatedAppellation: His nickname of "Buttercup" dates back to his gang days, when he bludgeoned a rival ganger to death with a Giddyup Buttercup toy horse from a nearby toy store. He still keeps the toy as a memento above his fireplace. |
| 485 | * BetterAsFriends: Appears to be his attitude towards his relationship with Anna Barone. Despite turning down her romantic advances, he still takes her out for drinks from time to time, and even brings her severed Overgrown heads and other combat trophies as tokens of appreciation to inspire her and remind her she's a warrior. Deconstructed somewhat in that Anna is still bitter over Buttercup rejecting her romantically. |
| 486 | * EvilDebtCollector: He's an ex-ganger turned tax collector. Played with in that the people he's collecting from are mobsters, so one could argue he has something in common with ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, in that he's "a bad guy paid to fuck up worse guys". |
| 487 | * ImprobableSelfMaintenance: Mayor Tim's wife Frieda is at a loss as to how Buttercup maintains his muscles when he has so little protein in his diet. |
| 488 | * IntimidatingRevenueService: A more literal example than most, as it's Buttercup's job to physically intimidate the Lombardis and the Showmen into paying up if they shortchange the Munis on taxes. |
| 489 | * IronicNickname: Don't be fooled by his soft-sounding nickname, he is a brutal and ruthless IRS enforcer. |
| 490 | * MarriedToTheJob: To the point that he turned down a date from Anna Barone by literally saying so. |
| 491 | * NotWorthKilling: He is very aware the Lombardi Family have set Billy up as a fall guy, which is why he offers to leave peacefully for the time being if bested in combat. Downplayed somewhat in that he is more than willing to kill Billy otherwise. |
| 492 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is never revealed. |
| 493 | * TerminatorImpersonator: His appearance and ImplacableMan persona resemble that of Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's characters from the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise. Lampshaded in the game's script notes, which alludes to Mayor Tim "speaking fondly of Buttercup, the tough Terminator-esque head of the IRS". |

| 499 | * BadCopIncompetentCop: She notes with some amusement that while the Lombardis and the Showmen are supposed to enforce the peace in Atlantic City, they only end up being good at that when it's "civvies having a drunken fight or some street thug trying his luck", and most of the time they usually end up fighting amongst themselves instead. |
| 500 | * HeelFaceTurn: Originally descended from mobsters belonging to the Lombardi Family, she has since quit the mob and joined the Munis. |
| 501 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: Despite the fact that the Lombardis are working together with the Munis to govern the city, they still considered Anna's defection to the Munis an offense against the Family and have declared her a wanted woman. Her mother even sent her a letter warning her against showing her face in the Casino Quarter again. |

| 508 | * NoHeroDiscount: While he will compliment the player if they assist the mayor through the expedition "The Human Condition", he will not offer them a discount for doing so. |
| 509 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Resents the fact that the Munis have to work with the Lombardis and the Showmen to keep the city running; he denounces the Lombardis as glorified chem dealers, and the Showmen as "homicidal clowns" with "a song and dance routine". |

| 515 | * MayorPain: The "Incompetent" flavor. She delegated the city's management to professional administrators while she sat back and enjoyed her free time in office in the hopes of coasting to a cushy retirement. This backfired on her when most of her staff was killed by flooding in the wake of the Great War and she was forced to bow to the demands of the Lombardi family. |
| 516 | * TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: When she was forced to revoke her employees' extra rations due to dwindling taxes and supplies, one of them angrily tendered her resignation along with a curt "Go fuck yourself". |
| 517 | * WhileRomeBurns: Wrote off the specter of imminent nuclear war as "hullabaloo", and even after the bombs dropped and the city was flooded, she did nothing to address the city's issues apart from rationing its food stockpiles. |
| 518 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Her lack of popularity due to her ineptitude meant that no one stood in Timothy Lane's way when he deposed her and offered a new way forward. |

| 527 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: They went from a mere family of performers to a full-blown member of Atlantic City's governing triad, alongside the Munis and the Lombardi Family. |
| 528 | * TheDreaded: The Lombardi Family both respect and fear them for their reckless and dangerous attitudes and stunts, with Sal even likening them to "a pack of starved, rabies-infected hyenas". |
| 529 | * TheShowMustGoOn: The whole reason for their existence. |
| 530 | * TruceZone: Established by Mother Charlotte to provide a safe place for other performers, giving them the necessary support and protection to hone their craft. |

| 536 | ---- |
| 537 | * ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: When he broke free of his raider captors, he tortured them the same way they had tortured him: first by breaking their bodies, then their spirits, before finally killing them and making his escape. |
| 538 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He was originally just an average wastelander, but being captured, tortured, and starved to near-death by raiders inspired him to create the Game to discover humans' limits by testing their strength and willpower. |

| 547 | * LikeASonToMe: Treats Veracio as if he was her own flesh and blood, even if the rest of the world would consider him a monster. |

| 562 | The head of the Russo family. Husband of Evelyn and father of Abbie and Vin. |
| 563 | ---- |
| 564 | * BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: The reason he started pushing Abbie away from him as she grew older; he was convinced that letting her get too involved in the mafia, with its misogynistic culture and lack of opportunities for women, would only end in disappointment. |
| 565 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: He appears to suffer from dementia, as he is often detached from reality and has difficulty holding a train of thought for more than a few minutes. [[spoiler:This is later revealed to be a case of ObfuscatingStupidity to throw would-be attackers off his trail.]] |

| 596 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scorchbeast_queen.png]] |
| 597 | ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; the [[MonsterProgenitor progenitor]] of the Scorchbeasts and the FinalBoss of the game at release, spawned by nuking her nest at the bottom-right corner of the map at Fissure Site Prime. |
| 598 | ---- |
| 599 | * DamageSpongeBoss: While already tanky as a 3-star Legendary creature ''and'' a FinalBoss, the Scorchbeast Queen also has a modifier that negates a mind-boggling ''70%'' of the damage dealt to her on top of her innate resistances, thus necessitating a lot of concentrated fire to bring her down. There is a reason why Scorched Earth has a suggested minimum participation of eight players. |
| 600 | * FinalBoss: For the "main" story; nuking her den to lure her out is supposed to be the final mission (although in practice, players can join the "Scorched Earth" raid before that part of the questline). |
| 601 | * FlunkyBoss: Numerous random creatures - nearly all species in the game are eligible to be included - appear throughout the battle to defend her due to being infected with the Scorched Plague. |
| 602 | * GetBackHereBoss: Spends most of the time airborne, where she is significantly harder to effectively damage, and will often circle around a ridiculously wide radius, going much too far away to be reasonably shot at at all at times. She can be forcibly grounded by crippling one of her wings, though managing to hit her at all while she's airborne can be a bit of a tall order. |
| 603 | * GiantFlyer: She's bigger than even her offspring and equally capable of flying. |
| 604 | * LuckBasedMission: She lands whenever she feels like it, and how often this happens will affect the difficulty of any given battle with her significantly. |
| 605 | * SkippableBoss: Although the player is given the opportunity to launch a nuke at Fissure Site Prime during I Am Become Death for an optional objective, they can also choose not to. Doing this will mark the objective as failed, but will still allow the main quest to be completed, thus meaning one can blitz through the entire main quest chain without seeing her once. As such, the only way to fight the Scorchbeast Queen is to deliberately trigger her appearance. |
| 606 | * TimedMission: Technically speaking, since Scorched Earth has a total duration of thirty minutes. Failing to kill the Queen within this half-hour window will cause her to flee and the event be deemed a failure. |

| 613 | -->"We got a stash nearby. Remember, Moo Moo? Wait, no. [[ToiletHumor You just left a pile nearby.]] [[RoadApples Not a good stuff pile.]] Ugh, nevermind." |
| 614 | |
| 615 | A friendly super mutant merchant who travels across Appalachia with his loyal pack brahmin Chally the Moo Moo. His prices are steep but the goods he sells are well worth the cost. Bethesda will occasionally have him host a cookout near Vault 76 for unique rewards if players do a great job with helping him. |
| 616 | ---- |
| 617 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: He carries sledgehammer type weapons to dispatch anything that might threaten him. |
| 618 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Think about it", which he usually says following an observation or philosophical insight to the Resident. |
| 619 | * ContemplateOurNavels: Oddly existential for a super mutant. If you hang around with him, he'll offer some simple wisdom and observations on the nature of existence, framed in the context of trading and exploring. |
| 620 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Has forged friendships with a number of human Wastelanders, including CAMP allies Sofia Daguerre and Raider Punk, as well as Ayla, a Foundation settler who is the girlfriend of Beckett's brother Frankie, and also Appalachia Radio's DJ, Julie. |
| 621 | * IntrepidMerchant: Though it probably helps to be nearly 10 feet tall, super strong and immune to radiation. Grahm sells a lot of rare and valuable items, which makes it well worth seeking him out. (Just remember to bring a fat sack of caps with you, his prices aren't cheap!) |
| 622 | * NiceGuy: He's friendly enough, and appreciates your company if you hang out with him. |
| 623 | * TokenHeroicOrc: Much like Fawkes, Uncle Leo and Strong before him Grahm is a friendly super mutant, in this case working as a traveling merchant. |
| 624 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has special dialogue when encountered near Hillfolk Hotdogs, suggesting that he was a regular there before the bombs dropped. |
| 625 | * VegetarianVampire: Unlike other super mutants, he refuses to feast on humans, only eating animal meat instead. |
| 626 | * WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere: In addition to the above, Grahm also refuses to feast on Chally despite it being implied that he may eat other brahmin. |
| 627 | ---> '''Grahm:''' Chally, what you think of this meat-cook? Oh. No worry... no moo-moo cooked during this meat-cook. (Shh! Human! No tell Chally about what in meat-cook!) |

| 634 | ---- |
| 635 | * CardboardPrison: Due to being part of a regularly occurring public event, he is captured and re-escapes every few real-time hours. |
| 636 | * GreatEscape: Another common public event consists of preventing him from pulling this off by killing members of his gang who invade the prison yard attempting to facilitate it. No matter how many times their raid is stopped, they evidently keep succeeding offscreen, as evidenced by the above trope. |
| 637 | * NonLethalKO: A very rare example for the ''Fallout'' series. The Warden does, after all, demand that he be taken alive. |

| 643 | A pre-war miner working for Hornwright Industrial, who collapsed the Monongah mine when leaving it behind with him and numerous other workers still inside. They started eating each other in desperation to survive, and Earle was the last survivor, by which point his numerous acts of cannibalism had warped him into something that long-since could no longer be considered human. His daughter, who has since joined Foundation, asks the Resident to put him out of his misery. |
| 644 | ---- |
| 645 | * FinalBossPreview: Similar monsters labelled as Wendigo Colossi were technically added to the game with the release of ''Wastelanders'', but were ''extremely'' difficult to come across, only having a minuscule chance of spawning in any given nuke zone. Earle is the first one that can be reliably spawned in a specific location. |
| 646 | * FluffyTheTerrible: For being one of the most horrific and formidable monsters in the entire series, his name - a common one with zero lore significance that could have belonged to any unremarkable NPC - can come off as this. |
| 647 | * FlunkyBoss: Will use a unique vocalization to summon wendigo spawn to protect him. Their ability to stun-lock and stagger players makes it that much harder to kill him if they are not dealt with quickly. |
| 648 | * IAmAHumanitarian |
| 649 | * {{Superboss}}: Added in an August 2020 update, and even more difficult to kill than the Scorchbeast Queen. |
| 650 | * SupernaturalFearInducer: Possesses a scream attack that can induce "Uncontrollable Fear" in the Resident, causing them to flee in terror and the player to lose control of them for four seconds. |
| 651 | * TragicMonster: He was just trying to help his men survive being screwed over by the company. Then things went horribly wrong. |
| 652 | * WasOnceAMan: Until he ate his coworkers and mutated. |

| 658 | ---- |
| 659 | * FlunkyBoss: Much like Earle Williams' ability to summon other wendigo, the Ultracite Titan can summon Mole Miners and mole rats to defend it. |
| 660 | * GiantAnimalWorship: The Mole Miners are implied (and confirmed by WordOfGod) to worship it to some extent. |
| 661 | * NoSell: Nullifies the extra effects of Ultracite ammo as well as the Hunter's and Zealot's legendary effects. |
| 662 | * RodentsOfUnusualSize: Originally a regular mole rat, exposure to Ultracite mutated it into a mammoth beast as tall as the Nuka-Launcher roller coaster. |
| 663 | * ShieldedCoreBoss: Summons Ultracite pillars which must be destroyed before the boss can be directly damaged. |
| 664 | * UrbanLegends: Was widely assumed to be one until the Resident found proof of its existence. |

| 672 | * AIGettingHigh: It's unclear whether Biv's drunken matter of speech is the result of deliberate programming or a side effect of his alcohol taste testing. |
| 673 | * AlcoholHic: Frequently hiccups and slurs his speech. |
| 674 | * BoozeBasedBuff: He assigns daily taste tests to the Resident analyzing these, assessing their influence on things such as combat, crafting, trading and their interaction with food. |
| 675 | * FellOffTheBackOfATruck: Possibly. While we know exactly where Lewis obtained Biv (from General Atomics, as his mother worked there), it's never made clear whether Lewis acquired Biv legally or not. |
| 676 | * {{Gasshole}}: Frequently burps while speaking. |
| 677 | * PunnyName: His name is a play on the word "beverage". |

| 685 | ---- |
| 686 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: Actually part of a bug, where the version fought during Encryptid will ignore all forms of protection other than Troubleshooter's armor and perks that provide DamageReduction. |
| 687 | * EyeBeams: Like all Assaultrons, but this one's version is ''much'' more powerful... and the standard Assaultron version is already one of the most devastating attacks in the game. |
| 688 | * OptionalBoss: You don't ''have'' to fight it, but it drops good loot and serves as a raid boss. |
| 689 | * PuzzleBoss: Not the one encountered in the Harpers Ferry tunnel, but the Legendary boss version found in the Ash Heap as part of the Encryptid event. This version of the Impostor Sheepsquatch has a stealth mode that also somehow shields the robot from all damage, necessitating that the players fighting it interact with the three pylons found in the area and channel the electrical current to weaken it. |
| 690 | * SuperPrototype: Sort of; actual, living Sheepsquatches were added to the game shortly after it, but the real deals, while among the toughest enemies in the game, are nowhere near as powerful as their imitation, which is an outright raid boss. |
| 691 | * SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: The Impostor Sheepsquatch was programmed to mimic the bleating of the real thing, though it achieves this by literally saying the sound effects out loud. |

| 819 | * OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: Homer deconstructs this trope if the Resident says to him "This is our planet. We can't just let them [the Zetans] do what they want here." |
| 820 | ---> '''Homer:''' To offer several counterpoints: Can a planet be owned? What defines ownership? Having lived there? For how long? Is ownership relinquished when one willingly destroys one's own planet? I need no answers at this time. These questions require further pondering. |

| 911 | * GiveHimANormalLife: Left his younger brother Frankie behind with some Settlers (the same group that ultimately established Foundation) when he first became a raider to shield him from that rough-and-tumble lifestyle. |

| 916 | * SiblingTeam: His relationship with his younger brother Frankie: they grew up together in Maryland, their father died when they were very young and they never knew their mother, so they made a vow to stick with each other forever, no matter the situation. They found out they were really good at stealing, so worked together as a pair in their youth to commit small-time theft. |

| 958 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Solely goes by his radio network callsign, "Punk". |
| 959 | * TakeAThirdOption: Living in a large, crowded community like Crater makes him feel like a caged animal due to its lack of privacy and he would rather live in the wilderness, but he also doesn't want the headache of having his own place. Moving in with the Resident at their C.A.M.P. strikes a happy medium for him. |

| 980 | * NoNameGiven: We never learn her given name or even nickname. |
| 981 | * ReluctantWarrior: She is a pacifist by nature, and while she is armed with a .44 caliber pistol, she only ever uses it in self-defense after being directly attacked. |
| 982 | * WanderingMinstrel: Chose not to stay at Foundation with the rest of Paige's settlers and continued wandering the road instead, often fleeing from the dangers it presented. Meeting the Resident allows her to finally settle down at their C.A.M.P. to work on her music. |

| 992 | * EducationMama: Both of Yasmin's parents were academics who wanted her to follow in their footsteps, and initially disapproved of her becoming a chef. Later subverted; once they realised their daughter's interest in cooking was not just a phase, they began to understand and support her. |
| 993 | * PartyScattering: After the Great War, she lived in peace for 15 years with a group of other survivors in the ruins of an old resort in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, but when the settlement was destroyed by raiders, many of the survivors were killed and the rest, including Yasmin, scattered. |

| 1001 | ---- |
| 1002 | * BackAlleyDoctor: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. He was in his final year of medical school when the bombs dropped, so he was unable to gain formal qualifications as a doctor. However, he lacks the more seedy elements of this trope. |
| 1003 | * BookDumb: He initially lost interest in becoming a doctor due to struggling in school, so after he graduated from high school he ended up joining the army instead as he felt it offered a greater opportunity for him to make a difference. It wasn't until partway through the Sino-American War that he resumed his education and went to medical school. |
| 1004 | * ClosestThingWeGot: His lack of formal qualifications didn't prevent him from joining the Brotherhood of Steel as a medic. |
| 1005 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Narrowly averted. His parents originally wanted to name him "Ichabod", so he considers himself lucky they decided to name him "Solomon" instead. |
| 1006 | * FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Comes from a long line of doctors, including both of his parents. |
| 1007 | * NamesToTrustImmediately: Solomon is quite content with his name, as he says it "makes me feel wise. Maybe a little wiser than I actually am." |
| 1008 | * PostTreatmentLollipop: Defied; he doesn't have any. |
| 1009 | * SourSupporter: Zigzagged. While he is a strong supporter of Paladin Rahmani, he is quite uncomfortable with the overbearing, isolationist leadership of the Council of Elders back in California, particularly their focus on hoarding technology over actually helping the people of the wasteland. |
