ARIES "Sheepsquatch enthusiast" ... My whole life summarized into two ugly words. Yeah. That's me

BASICS

pronouns: he/him

age: 50's

sexual orientation: pan

AFFILIATION: Blue Ridge Caravan Company

SPECIAL: 6 ST, 6 PE, 6 EN, 4 CH, 8 IN, 6 AG, 4 LK

perk cards: animal friend, squad maneuvers, hacker, nerd rage.

APPEARANCE

Most people think that he's suspicious. The mask paired with a growly voice has most assuming he's a ghoul. His damaged vocal cords cause his voice to sound like he's in pain. He tends to keep a lilt in his voice so that he doesn't come off as angry.

In his early 20's, Aries was attacked by an Assaultron he was attempting to reprogram. The robot used a rotating blade weapon to get out of the basement, going through Aries in the process. The right side of his face is deeply scarred in the cheek-mouth-jaw area (a scar crosses over both his lips). He's missing an earlobe, and extensive stimpak usage made him heal uncomfortably-- he needs Med-X to ease that at times.

Just under 6 feet tall, a wiry build, and a mask that hides brown eyes and greying hair that is mostly shaved.

Aries is almost always seen in his Blue Ridge Caravan uniform: an armored jacket that has been worn and stiched, red work pants, and a gas mask in blue-red-yellow, with a red hood covering the top and back of the mask. He has a kicky little scarf to seal the 'fit.

PERSONA

Aries is incredibly silly, off-putting, and darkly dramatic. He talks about boogeymen and uses accents when telling stories, talking to himself when no one will listen. Aries might come off as a cartoon, and he lives behind a mask both literally and figuratively, choosing to be a clown than call attention to his pain, to be seen as a regular ol' Caravan Guard, rather that how he sees himself. Beyond having a way with computers and inventing things ~~that break~~, his family was in the taxidermy business, and he used to hunt both before and after the war. He can sew and field dress a radstag and help a brahmin give birth.

BACKGROUND

Before the war, Aries was known as Calvin van Lowe. He lived with his sister, Shelley, above their parent's taxidermy shop. Cal shared his love of cryptozoology with some of his school friends, and spotted a sheepsquatch while "hunting" on his own. He became obsessed with finding the creature again. So far as to take a job with the Bysshe Energy Company and using their funds in an attempt to find a real sheepsquatch. He modified an Assaultron and it instead ripped his throat out when it went to escape.

The bombs fell, he went to bleed to death in a cave and read poetry (Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats). Shelley fled Appalachia to head further into the mountains with her secret lover, Deb, and Deb's infant son (Carver).

Cal modified a gas mask to help keep him breathe and his jaw in place. He took the name Aries, and after hunting down as many Sheepsquatches he could, joined the Blue Ridge Caravan company in hopes of making the world a little better. His sister is unaware of the fact that he's still alive, but her step-son has been working alongside Aries for several months now (however, he was unaware and actually asked his boss to not pair him with Aries on caravan runs...) Carver needed a place to belong, as did Aries, and the last we checked in with our cryptid-hunter, he told Carver who he actually was before the war-- and asked him to bring a letter for Shelley.
