To give you a real and proper break I will not ask about the girls. Instead I will ask about your cat(s)? What’s its name? How did you get it?
So this is Tigriss, she’s a tortoiseshell.
We got her from our neighbors back when they used to sell kittens (they have a farm and their barn cats would occasionally get pregnant since we have a few tomcats in the area). She’s the only non-rescue cat we’ve ever had and she’s also the only cat we’ve gotten as a kitten. 
Notes:
She is uncannily large
She’s a criminal
 She loves cabinets for some reason
When she was a kitten, she would go up inside of the branches of our Christmas tree and sleep in there but now that she’s too big for that she will sleep at the bottom in between the presents

@bleumanouche dankeschön!!💖
3: What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?
Reed: He's self-destructive. He's aware of it, he knows it causes so many issues in his life, he's not going to do anything to improve on it, and he's also not going to stop hanging around his main friends that enable this behavior.
Delta: They're too nice and struggle to say no to people that ask for help. They're very aware of this flaw and they try to set boundaries, but at the end of the day it's just in their nature and it's something they're always going to struggle with.
Mercy: Hubris. She's somewhat aware of it being her main flaw, but I don't think she's aware of the full extent of it - she's aware that her actions in the army, with West-Tek, and later on in the Enclave were deplorable, but she still insists on trying to pick some of those projects back up so she can redirect them and make them beneficial for wastelanders.
7: What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?
Reed: I mean, he was initally created to be used as a pinup model so I could play around with all the slutty little outfit mods so he's changed a lot lmao. Obviously he still gets used for that purpose, but he's also a much more developed character at this point - he has a full backstory and personality, I've got a very detailed timeline established for his FO4 storyline with a potential alternative ending, etc etc - basically he's gone from barbie doll to full blown OC that's been giving me brainrot for the past like.. 6 months. As far as physical changes, he actually hasn't changed much - I've tweaked his hair a bit and I got rid of his little face tattoo, but that's really about it.
Delta: They actually haven’t changed all that much outside of appearance - I wanted them to physically look like Mercy enough to be mistaken for her, but there’s a stark difference in their mannerisms and personalities. The main thing I’ve changed so far has been making them look older to match their physical age, and reworking their synth features to line up more with the gen2 synths and what I think an experimental, in-between gen2 and gen3 synth might look like. I also reworked how I wanted their relationship with Reed to be; initially I wanted them to just be existing and doing their own thing and unintentionally traumatizing Reed every time they run into each other(which is constantly) and making him feel like he's being haunted by someone he thinks is dead, but not having them really interact beyond brief chats here and there like you'd have with the merchants in-game. Then I thought about it more and realized they'd work really well together as friends and that Delta had potential to be a cool companion, so I started going that route instead.
Mercy: well, for starters she’s in fallout instead of red dead now lmao. Anyways, she’s gone from being more of a little freelance vigilante with questionable morals and occult vibes to a full fledged character with an actual personality. I initially had her just as a namedrop in Reed and Delta's backstories, but the more I thought about it the more I was like "what kind of fucked up researcher is going to store their own DNA in the lab they work in, and in a manner that's going to survive 150+ years after a nuclear fallout where it could fall into Institute hands?" and it's spiraled out of control since then.
9: Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?
Reed:
I know who I am when I’m alone / I’m something else when I see you / you don’t understand, you should never know / how easy you are to need / don’t let me in with no intention to keep me
Delta:
and I don’t blame you / if you want to bury me in your memory / I’m not the girl I ought to be
Mercy:
we’ll laugh a little / drink a little / see what you’re made of / I’m capable of making you disappear / I am the agent that decides your fate
tiny reminder that i have playlists for Reed and Mercy in case you want to check them out
24: What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?
Reed: I honestly don't think he'd have many other potential life paths - if he hadn't joined the army willingly, he still likely would've been drafted around the same time. I don't think he would've been in the same squadron though, so he likely wouldn't have met Mercy and probably would've died overseas like he expected to when he joined.
Delta: I think it'd be interesting to play around with them joining the rust devils or a similar raider faction. I also think having them up in Far Harbor permanently could be interesting. I haven't worked these out more in detail so I don't know how different their life would be, but with either outcome I don't think they'd be working as a junk & robotics trader.
Mercy: She could've stayed in the Enclave. She likely wouldn't have ghoulified if she had stayed and would've had her expected lifespan, so she would've died somewhere around 2120-2140.
