I've mentioned a couple of times now that I'm writing FNV fanfic but I haven't mentioned my plan to force my brother to read it. He hasn't played FNV so I made a separate info document that should help him understand what's going on in the story. That document includes character introductions and for some reason I thought that it would be a great idea to draw a picture of every single character that appears in the story. Here's just some of the most important characters, further ramblings about them under the cut.
Yes Man - The best boy! Georgia may be loyal to House but she just couldn’t bring herself to destroy Yes Man. Instead she hid him in her apartment in Novac where he has been for years all alone. Don’t worry, he’s totally fine with it (:
Bingo - The previous leader of Boot Riders. He challenged Benny to a duel, which didn’t go well for Bingo. He might be dead but his legacy still lingers. In ‘All Roads’ comic there was one panel that showed what Boot Riders looked like so I based Bingo’s clothing on that panel combined with some of my own ideas.
Robert House - For once I wanted to draw him wearing something other than a suit. He’s interesting character because even though the fic revolves so much around him and other characters quostioning his decisions and actions I try to make him appear only rarely in-person.
Swank - It's hard to see but he holds jack of diamonds, the same card FNV collector's edition card deck assigned to him. While Benny was away Swank acted as temporal leader of Chairmen. Honestly he feels like even before that he was the one who actually run the place.
Benny - You all know him, he's one of the main characters! If Chairmen knew even half of the things he has done they would hate him. So he didn’t tell them any of the shady things he did. And to his bafflement he slowly realized that the only person he can be honest to is Georgia.
Georgia Well - Courier Six! The other main character! She may be widely admired around Mojave but she only lets very few people get to know the real her. And she absolutely latches onto those people. Unfortunately when she sided with House that caused domino effect that eventually caused her closest friends, Arcade and Boone, to leave her. So all she had left was House. Then Benny returned
Jane - In my version Jane was an actress who also happened to be literal rocket scientist. People tended to focus on former part of her identity while House became enamored with her because of the latter part.
Emily Ortal - In my fic Emily has become the new regional administrator of Followers of the Apocalypse. I like Julie Farkas but there were already too many characters and the story worked better if Emily had that role.
Dorothy de Struction - an OC. Some FNV characters are based on historical figures, for example House on Howard Hughes and Benny on Benjamin Siegel, and Dorothy is based on countess Dorothy Di Frasso. And if you know anything about the relationship between her and Siegel you can guess what kind of relationship this Dorothy has with Benny.

The site says this is from 1930 and Coop’s wife.  It’s not.  He wasn’t married until 1933.  It must be Countess Dorothy di Frasso.

Good morning everyone! How are you feeling today?
Founded 134 years ago by the Greek goldsmith Sotirio Bulgari, it only began its global expansion in the 1970s. Today, the Bulgari brand is synonymous with luxury. Her story is presented in his latest book by Vincent Meylan. 😍🐥🎁❤
This time Meylan decided to look into the archives of the Italian brand of Bulgaria and present the history of the creation of its unusual jewelry in the book "BVLGARI, Treasures of Rome". On the one hand, the author focuses on the history of the products: from the extraction of gems from the mine, to their processing, the creation of designs and the final appearance. On the other hand, Mayland presents Bulgari through the prism of the history of the most eminent families of Italy, Spain and France, as well as Hollywood and social stars who in their lives had to do with or were in some way connected with the brand. At the same time, he does not avoid interesting anecdotes and gossip straight from overseas. 🔥🎁💛💙
Countess di Frasso shopped there with her Hollywood partner, actor Gary Cooper. Princess Infanta Beatriz of Spain and Princess Maria José of the Belgian Royal Family were equally eager to choose Bulgari jewelry. Richard Burton stole the heart of Elizabeth Taylor thanks to the brand's jewels, and with the opening of the Cinecittà film studio in Rome, the Roman store was visited by: Marlena Dietrich, Sophia Loren, Clark Gable, Audrey Hepburn and Romy Schneider. The brand's jewelry is not only love stories: Count Cini of Monselice, held by the SS, was released from captivity after paying a ransom in the form of Bulgari jewels.
What do you think about this design and whole fashion collection? Did you enjoyed it and would you like to see more of it? What is your opinion about this outfit? Do you like it? Tell me about you thoughts about this outfit in comments.

Siegel had several relationships with prominent women, including socialite Countess Dorothy di Frasso. The alliance with the countess took Siegel to Italy in 1938,[56] where he met Benito Mussolini, to whom Siegel tried to sell weapons. Siegel also met Nazi leaders Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels, to whom he took an instant dislike and later offered to kill.[57][58][59] He only relented because of the countess's anxious pleas.[53]
TIL that famous American gangster Bugsy Siegel (who was Jewish fwiw) once attempted to sell arms to Mussolini and also was planning to murder Göring and Goebbels after meeting them before being talked out of it

Bugsy (1991) dir. Barry Levinson. 7.2/10
Oh look, Ross’s dad and Joe Mantegna.
Good looking car.
Love Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the positive.
We love thinking about how Vegas came to be.
Spoiler: [About Ben Siegel departing from his family for business. He immediately sleeps with a lady he met on the elevator. Ben works with Meyer Lanksy and Charlie Luciano and goes to visit one of his men for robbing them. He shoots and kills him in front of their other men. He heads to LA to make a deal with the underworld boss, Jack Dragna, who manages his own tight operation. He’s really trying to run him out so that they can take over SoCal. Harry Greenberg visits Ben before he leaves and asks for more cash since he lost the previous load while gambling. Ben gives it to him so that he doesn’t rat on anything this business does. In LA, Ben meets with his famous, actor friend, George Raft. They go together as George is on set and Ben introduces himself to Virginia Hill, who rejects his advances and is also with Joey Adonis. She does learn about his wife, Esta. George and Ben drive through town as George mentions whose house belongs to which celebrity. At Lawrence Tibbet’s place, Ben enters and buys up the place with $60,000 cash on the spot. He also buys off a nice car from someone on the street. He goes to visit Draga and is refused business until Ben brings out two alternatives. He brings up a proposal to work together or Dragna can shoot him with the gun that Ben pulls out. Dragna agrees on business, but is waiting for him to fuck up. Ben was only supposed to be here for 4 days, but extends his visit and gets settled in. He constantly pursues Virginia, but only gets with other women instead. At a party, he talks with Countess Di Frasso, who introduces him to her husband, who is close with Mussolini. He sends a ring to Virginia while she’s dancing. Ben is notified of a robbing of $56,143 from his business’s money by Mickey Cohen. He talks with Esta on the phone at home about her coming over with the kids. He’s interrupted when he sees Virginia coming to his home. They talk about reasons for them not to get with each other and they get with each other all night. The next day, Mickey is brought to Ben and is confronted about the money. He gets brushed off after mentioning how he took less than the 56 and leaves. Ben has George bring him back and he handles the situation by hiring Mickey and being promised the money back. Ben and the other guys talk about how Virginia has been around with many men. Virginia has dinner at home with Ben and he brings up her past men and she justifies herself. They argue and she chucks a glass at him. Mickey arrives with the money he stole. He leaves and Jack comes too. Ben confronts him on how Mickey stole less than the 56 and that the rest was stolen by Jack. He degrades him by making him crawl on his knees and oink and bark. He promises to return the money. Virginia has sex with Ben. They go look out at the city in their car later and Ben mentions how he’ll assassinate Mussolini. She believes this is an excuse for not revealing their relationship to the public and to Esta. Ben asks for another chance to show her off. Virginia has a fear of flying so she, Ben, and Mickey drive through the Nevada Desert. They see a small casino of Ben’s that is very dingy, but brings in money. Virginia wants to shut it down so Ben does so. On their ride through the desert,  Ben argues about how he let her do what she wants and she argues about his family. He steps outside and looks at the desert. He gets an epiphany to start a hotel here to become big. As he and Mickey talk about it outside of the car, Virginia drives off, causing them to walk. Ben has dinner with the Countess and is trying to get to Mussolini until he sees Virginia with a man. He pulls his gun out at the guy, but Virginia nonchalantly brushes him off and they leave. Ben tells Mickey that he’s getting a divorce. He goes home and works on the birthday cake for his daughter, Millicent. The party is interrupted when Ben’s men come in to discuss why he closed down the casino. They eventually learn of and agree to the plan of the Flamingo Hotel, where their business would be legitimate. They have to offer up 1 million and are willing to.
Millicent gets upset at how her dad didn’t pay attention to her and the party is ruined. Ben also mentions to Meyer about how he plans to kill Mussolini and he tells him not to tell this to anyone else, because they won’t take him seriously. Before the men leave, Ben talks to Joey about Virginia and apologizes for having stolen her. He allows Joey to punch him, but Joey mentions that he could never love a slut like her. Ben goes to visit Virginia and finds a man in a robe in her home. Ben throws him through the window and learns that he’s her brother. He buys him a Cadillac. He mentions to Virginia about his plans and she eventually comes back to him. They have an architect, David, draw up the plans for the hotel. Ben gets jealous of David and Virginia and finds fault in the drawings. He wants the pool away from the casino so that it can get full sun. He also has the budget increased to support what he wants from it. George mentions how he would never trust a girl with so much money since Ben is giving her shares to the hotel. Harry Greenberg arrives to visit Ben. He mentions how he’s out of money and ratted on the business. Ben tends to him and later goes for a drive with him. He doesn’t want Virginia joining, but she insists. They head to the railway station and Ben shoots Harry in private. The men talk with Ben about how the budget is going up without their consent. They want to know how much it could cost max and don’t agree to it. Ben also goes to Joey and beats him up since he doesn’t apologize for what he said about Virginia. Ben has dinner with his family and mentions how they should stay in New York instead of moving to California since he’ll be in Nevada anyway. He talks with Esta in private and she asks if he found someone else and wants a divorce. She slaps him until he admits that he wants a divorce. She leaves with the kids. The hotel construction is underway and Ben finds fault with it, especially when he notices that the pool isn’t in view. He has them fix it for more money. Ben is then arrested for the murder of Harry. The only witness is a taxi driver and he’s payed off to leave. Ben is in jail for a bit, but is living lavishly inside. Virginia handles business in the meantime. Ben gets out of jail and he and Meyer talk about how they’ll get the money since they need to bring up 2 mil between themselves. The others don’t know so that they don’t get bothered by the increasing cost. Ben says he’ll sell everything, including his casino shares. Mickey notifies Ben about Virginia’s bank accounts in Switzerland with money stolen from Ben. When Ben talks with a woman, who wants to work at the casino, Virginia gets jealous and argues with him. She decides to leave him and when he brings up the money, she leaves. The men meet up in Havana and talk about Virginia’s money stealing and if Ben was a part of it. They talk about how the cost is now 6 million and how the opening day is Christmas with extravagant guests coming. Meyer talks about how Ben isn’t in it for the money, but rather the idea. During the opening, severe weather prevents some entertainers from showing up and an outage happens. Ben decides to temporarily close until a tbd new reopening. Meyer tells Ben to come back to LA and Ben requests that Virginia be taken care of so that he can come. Ben also tells Meyer to never sell his shares. As he is about to get on the plane. Virginia says she’s willing to fly with him and also returns the 2 mil that she stole. He goes to LA by himself and is at home until he gets shot through the window by many shots. Virginia is notified of his death as the men take over the business. Later, Virginia returns the money to Meyer and commits suicide in Austria. The hotel ends up creating a large profit by 1991.]
