Stuart Little

Stuart Little is the diminuitive boss of the Jungle Gym in 2241.
==Background==
A little person in children's clothes, the red-haired Stuart is usually chewing on a toothpick and studying promising young boxers.Stuart's character description: "{150}{}{You see a midget in children's clothes. He is chewing on a toothpick and studying you.}"(NCSTULIT.MSG) He has a knack for spotting fledgling talent and coercing people into fighting for him. While he wishes he was just a little taller to fight in the ring,Stuart Little: "{232}{}{If I was just a little taller…}"(NCSTULIT.MSG) he is, nonetheless, accepting of his body and does not take too kindly to people relying on stereotypes and making assumptions based solely on their looks (i.e. assuming that a dwarf can't possibly make a career in boxing).The Chosen One: "{407}{}{You ever worked in a circus, Stuart?}"Stuart Little: "{530}{}{And what makes you think I've ever spectated a circus, much less been enslaved by one?}"The Chosen One: "{531}{}{Uh…well, I know that many of the citizens of New Reno act like they came out of a circus, and I thought…}"Stuart Little: "{540}{}{YOU thought because I'm a person of short stature, the only career I could procure would be confined to the so-called 'big top.'}"The Chosen One: "{541}{}{Uh…well, now…}"Stuart Little: "{550}{}{You took one QUICK look at me and thought you could deduce my entire life. It would never have occurred to you that a person of my height could have obtained a career in *Boxing Management.*}"(NCSTULIT.MSG)
Stuart is one of the more suave and outspoken characters in the whole of New Reno and possesses several interesting lines, including a fourth-wall-breaking dialogue about stereotypes connected to character models.Stuart Little: "{580}{}{(Looks at you pityingly.) But do you see the TRAGEDY here? I have mistakenly reduced you to a stereotype, a caricature, a generic Fallout model, instead of regarding you as a specific, unique character.}"The Chosen One: "{581}{}{Uh, but Stuart, I AM a typical hero model. In fact, I am the player character of this game.}"(NCSTULIT.MSG)

* Become a Prizefighter: The Chosen One can box under the management of Stuart Little, splitting the winnings. However, they only have two chances, as Stuart has little patience for failures. The choice of a nickname can lead to a few amusing comments, mostly connected to the Rocky movies.

==Notes==
Insulting Stuart about his height will prompt some hilarious fourth-wall-breaking dialogue with him mocking the Chosen One's looks, pointing out the over-muscled chest of males and the relatively large breasts of females. He goes on to conclude that the player is a "stupid min-maxing munchkin" and their character is either a "Madd Maxx wannabe" or a "Laura Kroft impersonator", depending on the player's gender.Stuart Little: "{600}{}{I've taken in your ridiculously overly-muscled physique, your gritty Mad Maxx wanna-be demeanor, your unimaginative character point allocation and concluded you are a mini-maxing munchkin.}{601}{}{I've taken in your over-pixellated breasts, your ridiculous sashay when you walk, your unimaginative character point allocation and concluded you are a mini-maxing Laura Kroft wannabe…a "munchkin."}"(NCSTULIT.MSG)
* Another similar option that also results in breaking the fourth wall is available at the same step for females with CH 6.

==Behind the scenes==
* Stuart's name is a reference to E.B. White's Stuart Little children's story. Stuart himself states that his mother read a lot of E.B. White if the Chosen One points this out.The Chosen One: "{408}{}{"Stuart Little?"}"Stuart Little: "{520}{}{Yeah, yeah, I know, "Stuart Little." My Mom used to read a lotta E.B. White. Now, you got a name?}"(NCSTULIT.MSG)
* Comparisons in the special dialogue are just some of the many references to the Mad Max movies and Tomb Raider games in the Fallout franchise.
* His quote is a reference to the episode "Humbug" of The X-Files, in which is similarly statured man says the same thing.
* One of his phrases "Ya eat lightning and crap thunder, kid" is a reference to Rocky II in which Rocky's manager tells Rocky that he is going to eat lightning and crap thunder while he is training.
