Jimmy (Fallout: New Vegas)

Jimmy is a tribesman from the East, who liberated himself from Legion slavery and now works as a prostitute for Pretty Sarah, at the Casa Madrid Apartments in Westside . 
As an openly gay man, he provides insight into the experiences and challenges of LGBT people in the wasteland, especially under Legion rule and within the Free Economic Zone of New Vegas.
==Background==
Jimmy originally lived in a village east of the Colorado River with his parents. At the age of 16, his village was attacked by Caesar's Legion, and his parents were killed as an "example." Jimmy was enslaved and brought to a Legion camp, where he was chosen as a tent servant by a high ranking centurion. The centurion became infatuated with Jimmy and protected him, with Jimmy remarking that he was "gentle, most of the time" and would bring him "little gifts". However, the affair was kept secret, as homosexuality is punishable by death under Caesar's law.The Courier: "I hear you were a slave of Caesar's Legion."Jimmy: "What Marco said is true. The Legion attacked my village when I was 16. My parents were killed as examples. The rest of us, chained and dragged to some kind of camp. A Centurion there chose me as his tent servant. He was handsome, and gentle, most of the time. Said it was our secret, and he'd protect me. Gave me little gifts, stupid things. But Caesar punishes homosexuality with death, and we nearly got caught, and there were suspicions. So when he took me out into the desert... Well, I knew he was going to get rid of me. So I kicked him where it counts and I ran. And then swam. And ran some more. Wound up here."(Jimmy's dialogue) As a slave, it seems Jimmy was forced to have sex with women, likely to maintain breeding quotas.Jimmy: "{disgusted by memory of having sex with a woman}I told you, I ain't ever doing that again - ever. It was like being a slave all over again."
Eventually, rumors began to circulate about the centurion's relationship with Jimmy, and the two were nearly discovered. Ultimately, the centurion chose his position over his feelings, and led Jimmy out into the desert to kill him and remove all evidence of the affair. Realizing he was about to be killed, Jimmy kicked the centurion in the genitals and ran, fleeing through the desert and across the Colorado River. Eventually, he arrived in Westside and began working as a prostitute for Pretty Sarah, specializing in male clients. Exclusively so: While he is very friendly with women,Jimmy: "{Female PC}Still wasting your time in this pit, honey? " and will even flirt,Courier: "Not interested. 		"Jimmy: "{Female PC}Oh honey, I know you're interested. I just don't go that way is all. " there are not enough caps in Vegas to make him even consider having sex a woman,Jimmy: "Sorry, ma'am, but ain't enough caps in all of New Vegas to make me do that. Nuh-uh. " and the mere suggestion of it can trigger flashbacks to the traumatic experiences as a slave.
By the time the Courier meets him, Jimmy has been working for Sarah for six months. He considers the Casa a dump and Marco a swine, but Pretty Sarah keeps everyone in line and makes sure nobody hassles Jimmy. While he does not have as many clients as his peers, they always seem to come back.The Courier: "Been working here long?"Jimmy: "Half a year or so. The Casa's a dump and Marco's a pig, but Pretty Sarah makes sure I don't get hassled. I don't get as many customers as Sweetie or Maude. But the customers I do get always come back."(Jimmy's dialogue) Sarah considers him a "specialist" and appreciates his consistently good performance (customers have yet to complain),Pretty Sarah: "{Non-Dummy} Three flavors to choose from - Sweetie, Maude, and Jimmy. Sweetie's the house favorite, for reasons that should be obvious. Maude is what you might call the discount rack. She's what a customer wears if he doesn't have the caps to afford Sweetie - or just likes them old. Jimmy's more of a "specialist." I only hear good things. " and makes sure neither Sweetie nor Maude give him grief.Courier: "Tell me about Pretty Sarah."Jimmy: "She's an honest woman. Splits the earnings fair, and keeps Sweetie and Maude in line. Minds her own business, too. She knows what it's like for people to go through things they'd rather not talk about. " The latter's quite homophobic, though tolerates Jimmy. Barely.Courier: "What do you know about Jimmy?"Maude: "I suppose he's okay, for . I suppose Pretty Sarah's got to cover every sort of customer."
