Mags and Clip

Mags is an anthropomorphic coyote, currently living on-the-move in the Mojave desert The name "Mags" is probably short for "Magdalene"? I dunno, she likes guns n stuff She's 5'8", 180lbs (from the extra bits) blue eyes

Mags has an obvious deformity, in the form of Clip. Clip is the name of the second head positioned around Mags' left shoulder, who has been attached since birth. Compared to her fully-formed bodymate, Clip has darker brown fur and red eyes. In addition, she also has control over another, third arm, situated just above Mags' left arm. This third arm also has Clip's darker brown fur Clip's right eye is missing, with her opting to leave it covered with bandages. This means it's just an empty, pink socket, with the skin directly around it fur-less Personality-wise, Clip is more excitable and generally more upbeat The two are both equally intelligent, but Clip opts to let Mags do most of the talking, with Clip occasionally chiming in with her thoughts Clip gets all the sensation of Mags' body, ergo sex is pleasurable for both of them. only sensation they don't share is each other's heads it goes without saying these two occupy the same main body and one can't go anywhere without the other.

She grew up in Westside. Having not known her parents, she quickly had to learn to be self-sufficient in a very hostile world. Mags was abandoned shortly after birth, her mother distraught by her obvious deformities, and was raised communally by her schoolteachers until she was forced to be independent around age 14

She's been doing odd-jobs ever since. Janitorial work, goods peddler, farmhand, junk-fetcher, weird mutant prostitute (though not for very long, she's not proud of this one)... you name it.

The reason Clip is missing her eye? The two coyotes had a bad encounter with a radscorpion after it snuck up on them. After a short fight, it got Clip in the eye, Mags shot it dead. They tried to patch up the wounds and fix stuff, but stimpaks can really only do so much, and they had to get the eye removed because it was getting infected. This was like 5 years ago though and the surrounding area has healed

fallout stuff: The year is 2281, 204 years after the Great War. Since the bombs have dropped, world governments and the like have all but collapsed. The radiation, while mutating some folk into ghouls, also did some furry-logic stuff, and various types of humanoid anthropomorphic canines are commonplace among the folk of the wasteland. (considering it's been two centuries since the bombs dropped, no one alive currently should be reminiscing about pre-war times, as they were all born into the wasteland) Transactions are typically conducted using quantities of Nuka-Cola bottlecaps Pre-war bills and coins are nearly worthless, its value solely lying in its usefulness as fire kindling or scrap metal Caps were chosen by early survivors as they were A. Very hard to counterfeit B. Limited in supply as to curb inflation C. Backed by water in most trade caravans, and D. Everyone likes soda, right? Though, one must feel silly carrying around a backpack full of thousands of rattling bottle caps... For reference on value - basic food like Spam - 5 caps big stack of pre-war cash - 10 kitchen knife - 20 Nuka-Cola - 20 12 gauge buckshot (box of 12) - 36 100 NCR-issue dollars - 40 Nuka-Cola Quantum - 75 decent 9mm pistol - 100 .45 rounds (box of 50) - 200 double-barrel - 260 combat knife - 500 9mm SMG - 850 supressor - ~500, depends on the gun hunting shotgun - 3800 tribeam laser rifle - 4800 40 oz gold bar - 10875 generally, more sustain / more firepower on a weapon means its more expensive. keep in mind these are base values, merchants usually markup a lot to make a profit, and buy at wayy lower rates than base. also as expected, they sell for less as they are used more and degrade in quality

Chems: whole host of drugs here. assume they're addictive by default Med-X - it's a syringe of morphine. a potent painkiller. Mags is hooked on Med-X because the whole 'having weird mutant anatomy' thing causes her a lot of pain. Some proper medical care and joint surgery could eliminate a lot of her pain... Jet - inhalant, floods the mind with endorphins for a few minutes, causing increased energy, increased strength, and hallucination Cateye / Ghost Sight - non-addictive powder that increases low-light vision Turbo - inhalant, heightens reaction time and increases movement speed Mentats - pills, increases brain function Psycho - dampens higher brain function and increases damage resistance. allows more capability for violence Slasher - psycho + med-x Buffout - steroid pills that buff strength and endurance Fixer - makes one nauseous for a while and cures their addictions Fire Ant Nectar - non-addictive, goop harvested from fire-spitting giant ants, increases heat resistance and agility but decreases intelligence Ant Queen Pheromones - non-addictive, more ant goop. a powerful aphrodisiac. Rad-X - non-addictive, pills that increase radiation resistance RadAway - non-addictive, IV solution that bonds to radioactive particles to flush them from the body, but in the meantime one may get headaches or diarrhea or nausea Stimpak - non-addictive, rapidly increases the body's healing capability in the local area to quickly patch up wounds. basically everyone is carrying a few of these on them.

plus all the normal stuff like weed

Pip-Boys are pre-war, bulky wrist-mounted devices with a screen and several buttons and dials. Mainly used for timekeeping, navigation via map, and cataloguing items in the user's possession. Really only useful to the adventuring type, most prefer to just use a watch and a paper map. Mags wears a Pip-Boy on her left arm

Civilization at this point mostly consists of fortified settlements with the occasional bigger city. these can be pretty great honestly, if you swing by the Vegas Strip its about as luxury-swag as you can get after the apocalypse. The local militia usually acts as the mode of defense and law enforcement

New Vegas - the biggest city in the Mojave wasteland, and probably the best, i tell ya what. in total, the population is probably around 20,000. Divided into districts
