You were a military project and Evie’s ex-military, so depending on when it happened—say, if it was 16-ish years ago when you were 18 years old, Evie could have been in the military, witnessed it, or taken part in your retrieval. She’s never told you she helped put you down, and then carried you back to the medtechs.<br/><br/>Might also explain how she became a Jack. She gave a damn, never forgot you. She saw you needed help with something in New Vegas sixteen years later, or your life was at risk, and she stepped up to help.<br/><br/>In my vision of this, she’s never been afraid of you or angry at you for the incident, but she does blame herself for turning you over. So it’s a combination of guilt and not wanting you to know she saw you at your worst.<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Probably would have been juuust a little later when she actually went off the deep end. Think she was about 20.<br/><br/>That aside, I'd be fine with that as a backstory. Xero tried to fight her own mind before things got too back and quite literally ripped her own arm off. I don't mind you want Evie to have been the one to put her down.<br/><br/>I take it Xero wouldn't have known her at all back then?<br/><br/><br/><hr/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=349104.msg16409871#msg16409871">Quote from: Arcanist on 22-02-2023, 01:18:17</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Note to self, do not sleep. I miss all the good stuff. <br/>Yes, I had originally planned for Naomi to be the quiet one. Looks like she will also be the youngest in the group. But gets authoritative and confident when she is doing something that she is an expert with. Social skills not so much. She has surprised herself with how close she has gotten with the Jacks. The Jacks is where she can safely "let go" of her control. Also with the amount of cyberware in the group, just wondering if Naomi would dabble in some cybernetic skills, i.e. adjust/repair the programming of the firmware/software of the cyberware.<br/><br/>@Kokaine<br/>I think it would be more than likely it was Xero that recruited Naomi for a mission as the leader/face. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Haha. No worries, it will all still be here when you wake up!<br/><br/>It might be helpful if Naomi can help with cyberware and give more reasons for her to have to interact personally.<br/><br/>Though I will point out, as we go through this, you guys are welcome to develop secondary or npc characters so our 4 don't need to cover every base. The Jacks are a big enough deal that there's more than just the four of them hanging around. I'm sure they've got an engineer and other contacts, not to mention a few more reliable bodies to help with runs depending on scale and all that. They aren't the biggest crew, of course, but in my head they're working toward making the jump to something bigger, to truly being a force that can't be ignored in New Vegas. Our four characters are just the core of it all.<br/><br/><br/>With regard to Xero and Naomi. Think Xero may have heard some rumors then went poking about to try and get a meet with Naomi. Being as wary as Naomi is, maybe the first few talks and even jobs were done remotely until finally they had a job they needed her there for and Xero had to do some sweet talking to get her to come through?<br/>On a personal level, do you have any ideas how Naomi would want to approach something like that?<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>If yall wanna point out character ons and off, please feel free to add that to your sheets. I dunno what things your characters might want from Xero but I will add hers in just a bit.
