Name: Sev

Sex: Male

Age: 19

Ethnicity: White

Appearance:

Hair: blond with some bangs

Facial Features: Soft, androgynous bone structure.

Outfit: Standard vault jumpsuit, the number stating 121, a labcoat from his vault, a backpack(Packed with surgery materials, a gun, and a collection of blades,) A pair of post war cargo pants, a belt with multiple stimpacks, and combat boots. He has a black scarf and a Half Mask respirator that purifies the air

Personality:

Intensely curious but profoundly disconnected from any concept of normal human behavior. He tends to be clinical and logical in his speech, often describing emotions or social situations in sterile, mechanical terms learned from his robotic caretakers. His mannerisms are stilted, and he rarely understands humor, sarcasm, or subtlety. He has no empathy nor social problem solving skills. He is also autistic.

He has no reference point for human culture, social cues, or morality, his worldview is entirely shaped by robots, which rebirth him in a test tube every time he dies to raise him again, their only directive being to raise him and keep him in the vault

Subject 17 is the result of a Vault experiment where only one human is continually reborn by creating a genetically identical copy of an him, by transferring the nucleus of a cell into an egg cell, surrounded by robots whose sole directive is to raise him. The robots only possess basic guidelines on human upbringing and interpret them differently each cycle, often contradicting past methods. Subject 17 grows up isolated from any real human culture or understanding of humanity itself, learning only what the robots choose to teach him. Each rebirth the robots start again, hoping to 'perfect' him, but they never truly understand what being human means.

After Vault 121 lost power, Sev left—expecting space, death, silence. That’s what the robots told him. Instead, he found a world full of noise, people, and chaos. He didn’t understand any of it. He still doesn’t.

Sev ended up wandering. He didn’t care about people, politics, or sides. He only cared about function—what worked, what didn’t. Soon, he started doing jobs. People paid, and he did what they asked—kill someone, destroy a camp, sabotage a system, deliver something dangerous. He never asked why.

He built a reputation fast. A strange man in a vault suit and lab coat. He talked like a machine and worked like one too. If you paid more than the last guy, he’d change sides. He didn’t lie about it either—he was honest that loyalty meant nothing to him.

Most people didn’t trust him. Some feared him. Some tried to kill him. No one really knew what he was about, and that made him worse than someone with a cause.

What factions think of Sev: NCR:

Officially calls him a threat. Some NCR officers quietly hire him when they need something done off the books. Higher-ups hate him. They say he’s unpredictable and dangerous. He does have a high bounty to be brought in alive to ncr officals, he has killed wounded, sabotaged relay towers, tampered with dead, and most likely was involved in a massacare of some ncr camps via being curious on how heavily they relied on said tech he was hired to fix for communication, and turned it out of the NCR channels, to which multiple camps had died or not received aid due to such, He left before they knew he did so.

Caesar’s Legion:

Respected his efficiency once. But they don’t trust him anymore. He worked with them before.

Mr. House:

Thinks Sev is interesting, but unreliable. Won’t use him unless he has to.

Sees him as a risk more than a tool.

Followers of the Apocalypse:

Horrified by him. They’ve heard rumors about Sev doing surgeries or experiments in the field. Some think he can be helped.

Wastelanders:

Mixed feelings. Some hire him out of desperation. Others run when they hear he’s nearby.

Everyone agrees: don’t double-cross him, and don’t assume he’s on your side.
