Introduction to Gwenora Rose Isham (OC/FO4)
*reference for first image, Jungkook's new Calvin Klein photos ♥
This post is all about my darling OC, Gwen, my overly-stressed people-pleasing Sole Survivor. ♥
Names:
Gwenora Rose Taylor (maiden name)
Gwenora Rose Isham (married name, prewar)
Gwenora Rose Hancock (married, postwar)
"Nora" (prewar nickname, Codsworth solely uses it)
"Gwen" (postwar nickname)
Traits:
Age: 27 (137 after emerging from Vault 111)
Birthday: November 10, 2060 (Scorpio)
Enneagram Type: 2w1
Height: approx. 5' 6"
Weight: 164 lbs. prewar, 125 lbs. postwar
Pronouns: she/her
Factions: Minutemen & Railroad
Occupation: bankruptcy lawyer prewar, General of the Minutemen postwar
Personality:
Gwen is a hard-headed, moralistic type of person. She deals with stress pretty well, until she doesn't. Her overly-stressed brain tends to shut down and she stops hearing and stops thinking. Unless she has someone close-by that can catch any signals that Gwen's having a silent meltdown who can step in and take over, she eventually overloads and removes herself from the situation, ignoring the problem altogether until she can clear her head. Gwen stays too busy to find downtime, but she used to like reading. Nowadays, she spends her downtime working with Sturges on various projects around Sanctuary. She tends to gravitate toward the people who support her endeavors and whose morals align with her own. She inevitably falls for Hancock after he helped her travel through the Glowing Sea to find Virgil before the downfall of the Institute. She's been told often that she's uptight and needs to relax (mostly by MacCready), but she insists that the moment she relaxes is when all hell will break loose. No, no, she'd rather be prepared for anything at a moment's notice, which makes her the perfect Minutemen General. Well, when she's not busy being Mom, anyway.
Fun Facts:
Gwen has oculocutaneous albinism type 2; her skin, eyes, and hair are extremely pale. Hancock's first impression of her was comparable to a porcelain doll posing as a merc.
Gwen's eyes are pale blue, almost light purple, and look red in certain lights and angles.
Absolutely hated her job as a bankruptcy lawyer. It was soul-sucking work. Her dad and step-mom, however, paid for her college. If she could have chosen, she would rather have been a policewoman. The closest thing she gets to that is working a few cases on the side with Nick.
Has suffered two major injuries so far: severe radiation burns from her elbows to her fingertips, and a sniper bullet that pierced through her right bicep (thank God for Stimpaks and Dr. Amari)
Hancock got Gwen a young Rottweiler as a way to say "sorry" after an argument, so she has two dogs in Sanctuary now (Dogmeat and Isabella) who spend a lot of time with "Shaun"
Gwen is actually a grandmother. Shaun, the Synth, is actually Liam, her grandson, who was born in the name of science. He was the model for Shaun's child Synth experiment, not Gwen's biological son.
Her weapon of choice is a 10mm pistol because it's light, easy to use, and the ammo isn't scarce. After practicing enough, he starts using two.
It still bothers her that she has to teach her kid how to shoot. It bothers her that her kid loves to tinker. It bothers her that her kid likes experimenting with radiation. It bothers her that she can't get nice things for him (nice clothes, nice food, etc). It really messes with her. Hancock helps her in that regard, reminding her that the world's not the same as it was, and offers to teach Liam (Shaun) what he knows that is within Liam's skill level at his age. (Liam really, really, really wants to know how to spin knives like Hancock does, but Hancock won't teach him yet; says he'll cut his fingers clean off.)
Still has deep-seated guilt that she wasn't holding Shaun that day in the Vault and strongly believes that her husband, the soldier, should have been the one to survive.
When Sanctuary didn't survive a Brotherhood assault, she decided to turn Sanctuary into the "Sanctuary Memorial Garden and Cemetary," which led to Vault 111 becoming the "Sanctuary Vault." She and Sturges spent A LOT of time fixing it up to working conditions to house Sanctuary's remaining settlers.
Secretly looks up to Marcy but is terrified of her. Had been wanting to work herself up to asking Marcy to trim her hair, since Marcy cuts her own hair, but never got the courage to bother her about it.
Deemed Sturges Liam's uncle. No explanation is necessary.
Kinda slept with MacCready that one time they were hammered on whiskey and they refuse to talk about it.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats:
S - 2 | P - 4 | E - 3 | C - 5 | I - 6 | A - 6 | L - 2
(based on standard 28-point distribution)
I would love to answer any asks about her. I'm working on two other OCs as we speak and will post character profiles when I can. ♥
You can find her story here.

I remember, just a young teenager, a computer that today would be crashed by any calculator, under the attic of my grandmother’s house. I insert the Fallout CD into my drive and the installation begins. I, a lover of video games, from Colleco-Vision to PSOne, through Nintendo and the Sega of my friends, I fear what I will find. My friend who gave me this game told me that it was not like Daggerfall, much better. But that I had to be prepare to the worst. This same friend who gave me my English book of Bilbo the Hobbit. The application finally starts. Character choice.... Wait, it’s not like Diablo? I can customize completely? It must be like dagger fall, no matter really....
No, my choices, a wide variety of choices. I live myself through this first character... I live
Freedom
Freedom of thought
Morality
Action and consequences
Alternative ends
It’s...... I’m crying
I cry with joy
I have no right to speak, to live, to think in my life and suddenly I have an escape
Finally...
Thank you Fallout
Thank you Tim Cain

OC Song Tag Game
Jumping on an open tag from @coffeewritesfiction because this looked fun
rules: share one song that describes your character, and one song they'd love
The song that stands out as describing Nancy is, unsurprisingly, is It's Been So Long by The Living Tombstone
And for one that she'd like, Who Put The Bomp? by Barry Mann
And I'm tagging @new-eyes-extra-colors @chaosintheavenue and @willinglyghoulified No pressure of course!

Following the advice from @willinglyghoulified I started playing Fallout 3 before I would play New Vegas further, so far I have only just left the Vault, but I already really enjoying it as well.
As for characters, I hate Butch (but could not say no to him when he asked my help to help her mother) and I really like James - he seems to be the father figure I would loved to have in my life if I ever would have any father. I am curious what caused him to leave the vault, his kid behind.
Despite the urge to spoiler it to myself, I will not do that. I once did it with Mass Effect and never again... It hits different if I discover it, whatever that may be, during the game.
Amata, well, she seems to be a nice girl. A good friend. Too bad I killed her father and didn't regret it at all. Hope she will not hate me for this one, I really like her.
And I also liked Jonas. I am sad he is dead but that didn't stop me from looting his body.
Not too far away from the Vault there was a robot like thing which played some musics, and it gives me horror vibes. I really don't like horror, I am afraid of them (but I still ended up watching some, being scared of all of them, but also somewhat enjoying it) and the game's sounds and atmosphere with that random robot thing flowing around playing music really reminds me of that.
I was scavening a nearby... ruined house, I think, and I already was on edge when suddenly I hear and see it, and it scared me. And it gives me the feeling that I better look around and I better be careful because then I will end up being really scared.

Underestimate me. That'll be fun.
