Name: "Q" for Quantum Gender: Female, probably fertile Age/DOB: unknown, barely adult Origin: Vault Earth, Commonwealth, Nuka World Factory Facility Family: none of her relatives are normal Lurks, but she's the only one willing to leave the Factory for now Other: Vic and she will leave a trail of gorgeous, glowing eggs if she really wants to... Height: 5' while on all fours, if she stands up she's around 9' to the head, but she spends most of her time in a quadrupedal crouch Weight: likely around 250, as she's a Nukalurk/King breed she is actually lighter than you'd imagine at that size Hair: if you count her dazzling set of fins, her 'hair' is absolutely glowing with Nuka Quantum blue, and it sparkles, in fact it looks like shining glass with glitter floating in it, those little sparkles actually move around Eyes: also Nuka Quantum Blue, almost like she's filled with the stuff Appearance: as a Nukalurk King or Queen as it were, she's very, very pretty; as virtually anything else, she is terrifying to behold Icarus Processing: though it can't be said that there's Icarus anywhere in this world, her Lurk line grew for generations in the Nuka World bottling facility and specifically near the Quantum tanks, so... Yes |

Genetic Abilities: as a Lurk she's semi-aquatic, though she doesn't necessarily require a wet environment she prefers it moist. Moist can come in the form of toxic puddles or pools of Nuka Cola. She has a remarkable tolerance for radioactive damage, and seems to store it in her fins, causing them to glow more brightly. She lets this energy off in the form of sonic shockwaves produced by yelling. While this yell is a feature of all her breed, hers is both laced with radiation, and visually sparkling. Some who have seen her perform this shout claim it looks almost like a Portal Storm, very small... Q keeps this radiation to herself, she's actually safer to stand next to than ... a bottle of Quantum. She can energize herself using any form of radiation, including fusion cells, gamma gun ammunition, barrels of waste, or Nuka Quantum - her favorite. In fact if she doesn't get Nuka Q about once a week, she gets cranky and her fins begin to dull down a little. They will never be completely dark or plain. As an obvious note: Q is markedly smarter than her peers, and sought out contact with Trinity and Deja when they went through Nuka World. Not for revenge (after all, they helped clear the place of 'dangers' like her family) but because she understood some of their banter and conversation. | |
Skills or Profession: Q can read (but not write) English and communicates in a series of what might be considered 'speak-belching', carefully applied use of her sonic abilities. Mainly she is an explorer and huntress, seeking out delicious bits of Nuka Quantum... In the Wakefield Settlement however, she has duties which include literally drinking barrels of nuclear waste. She enjoys being on the prowl, but also will report any unusual activity from animals or enemies directly to Trinity. Her patrols take her around the northern side of things, and she likes sticking to where there are streams and ponds left. | |
Personality: Surprisingly pleasant for a Nukalurk. She is a bit twitchy sometimes, both before and after sucking down a nice cold bottle of Quantum. She isn't a prankster, but she does enjoy startling people when she makes those burbling rumbling sounds... And then they realize she's 'singing' the Nuka World theme song. | |
Events or History: After overhearing about it, she would also like to visit Far Harbor, but that's a bit of a pipe dream. She figures the Fog there would be so refreshing! But she's not so hot on that whole "local flavor" drink - she only wants the best, Nuka Cola. As an egg she was laid in sludge directly beside the Quantum vats, and like all of her siblings and several generations before this, she had a strong blue glow to go with the surroundings. But unlike the others, she seemed able to comprehend the sing-song ditties and endlessly repeating recorded loop that played through the Bottling Plant's boat ride. When she was able to reach the top of a chair, she began to explore the facility in earnest, and took the tour as though she were sitting in the boat ride. Each exhibit made her wonder more and more, and as she grew into an adolescent Nukalurk, she realized ... she wasn't human. But what was she? Shiny and glowing, and strong, that's what. And... slightly bored. When she exited the facility for the first time, she wanted to try out some of those other strange flavors, sad that only one or two bottles of any given type remained within the factory. On her forays into the park at large, her impression of the world was... really weird. She did eventually find and befriend another 'human intelligence' level Nukalurk, who oddly enough is colored quite a bit like the Victory he likes to drink. Some of the local settlers and raiders would love to capture or kill her for her shiny fins, so she learned to shout first, scamper into the shadows, and observe before doing anything. She and Vic moved from Nuka World into the Commonwealth proper at the suggestion of Trinity, and they (along with one or two others who helped settle in Wakefield) took the monorail into the western area of the Commonwealth, viewing the terrain from a perspective they couldn't possibly have without help. It's a perspective that she really enjoys, and wonders... What about taking over one of those vertibird things? She can blast them off their trajectory, but not quite do enough damage to one to pull it down from the sky. But. But maybe with a dragon, she wouldn't even need a vertibird to fly. |
