Chosen One (Fallout)

The Chosen One (born 23rd March, 2221) is the player character of Fallout 2.
== Relations ==
=== Phyllis ===
Phyllis is the 25-year-old medical assistant of Vault City, working under Dr. Troy. While Phyllis is a dull and self-centered person in private, she displays a natural curiosity many other citizens have suppressed within. This trait means that someone with the right approach can successfully convince her to broaden her horizons and seek out the outside world, even if it's just the merchants in the Courtyard.
The Chosen One can talk to Phyllis about the lack of children in Vault City. With a 6 Perception and 75% Doctor skill, they can convince her to talk to Dr. Troy about the potential of sterility in the population. The reward is 300 XP for this. One can also convince Phyllis to see the outside world by talking about the "similarity of citizens", also rewarding with 300 XP.
A male Chosen One can donate sperm to help improve the genetic diversity of Vault City, after following the dialogue line about there being no children whatsoever in the town. (It is also possible to lampshade that there are no children because someone might be playing the European version of Fallout 2.) If asked for a magazine aid, an edition of Cat's Paw will be given. The XP reward depends on Intelligence: 4 will net 50 XP, 5-6 will net 250, and 7-10 will give the full 500 XP.
A male Chosen One can even go on a date with Phyllis, provided he meets one of the four requirements: 9 Charisma, 6 Charisma & 75% Speech skill, 6 Charisma & Sex Appeal trait, or 6 Charisma & Kama Sutra Master perk. The reward is 100 XP and a very dull evening. A female Chosen One may flirt with Phyllis and get rejected, though this will not affect the conversations that follow.
=== Leslie Bishop ===
Leslie Bishop is the neglected wife of John Bishop, head of the Bishop family, and is the mother of Angela Bishop.
Leslie is a well-educated middle-aged woman, who is known to be attractive. She was originally a citizen of Vault City, but left when she fell in love with John Bishop, though that might've been due to the drugs he offered her. Their relationship was not a happy one, despite the fact that she gave him a daughter, Angela. Over the years, she grew to hate her husband along with New Reno. Seeking refuge in alcohol, drugs and the occasional sexual endeavor, she longs for a different way of life.
In an unmarked quest, if the Chosen One asks Leslie about Vault 13 or G.E.C.K., she will offer them a drink (if you have 6 Strength or 6 Charisma). After accepting, she and the Chosen One will end up having sex in her room. If the Chosen One talks to her in bed about Vault City (requires 9 Intelligence), she'll explain that she lived in Vault City and, one day, met John Bishop.
He opened the wonderful world of drugs to her, but when Vault citizens found out about it, they kicked her out and she had nowhere to go but to join John. She took the Pip-Boy lingual enhancer with her when she left Vault City. If asked, she will give the Chosen One the code to her safe (used through the Lockpick skill on the safe), where the enhancer can be found hidden in a secret compartment.
In another unmarked quest, when talking to Leslie about her family, one can clearly see that her marriage is unhappy, and she doesn't have much to put her talents and education into in New Reno. Her husband, however, being an ambitious crime boss, would surely have her captured and returned back if she ever tried to leave.
However, after having had an "accident" by the Chosen One's hands, this becomes quite possible. The options are only available when pillow-talking after a "drink", and an Intelligence of 7 is needed to come all the way through. However, it's not necessary to have the quest "Eliminate Mr. Bishop" active, or to have completed it, for him being killed in any manner is enough.
For the quest "Eliminate Mr. Bishop", John Bishop has hired the Chosen One to kill Roger Westin. However, the Councilman offers him a deal: eliminate his employer, John Bishop, and he will give the Chosen One money and information about the objective. Should the Chosen One accept, they will have to travel to New Reno and find a way to assassinate the head of the Bishops. If the Chosen One previously slept with her daughter Angela, they can tell Leslie this after heading to her room.
She already knows and does not seem to mind it too much, unless a condom was not used. She will still want to sleep with the Chosen One regardless, and after sleeping with her they can have a brief pillow talk about Angela. One way to complete the quest is to sleep with Leslie Anne Bishop, suggest that Bishop have an accident (Traps 76% required), and place an explosive trap on his safe. Then watch the fireworks.
If the Chosen One is male and does not have a condom in the inventory, he will impregnate her. This will trigger one of two endings for New Reno where she bears a son. Due to an oversight, having sex with Mrs. Bishop does not count towards the "Gigolo" reputation title.
=== Angela Bishop ===
Visitors to the Shark Club may note an attractive young woman in tight leather eyeing the more attractive men in the crowd. That woman is Angela Bishop, the young daughter of John Bishop and Leslie Anne Bishop. The daughter of one of the most powerful men in New Reno is definitely not a pampered princess, but possessed by a sexual libido that spiralled completely out of control after she learned what it means to be a Reno woman at a young age.
She sates her sexual demons with every man she deems attractive, giving her mother no end of grief, as her hormonal system functions in overdrive brought upon by alcohol and chem abuse. Angela uses this fact to her advantage, revelling in the attention and sexual favours men do for her, becoming something of a legend among New Reno whores.
She is used to having things her way and does not take kindly to being turned down. However, in reality, beneath that hardened, lustful exterior lies a sad, broken girl, damaged by Reno and her father's neglect. Sex with many men and abuse of alcohol and chems also took their toll. According to her mother, her hormones are out of control, making her an insanely fertile woman. Leslie jokes that even the mere mention of sperm could result in Angela's pregnancy.
A male Chosen One can sleep with her, which grants access to her safe (she opens it to get some jet out of it) and contents. However, the player should first talk to the bouncers guarding the stairs leading to the penthouse and thus an audience with John Bishop first, or risk him and his bodyguards going hostile while attempting to leave.
If the Chosen One sleeps with Angela without carrying a condom, there is an ending for New Reno, in which she gives birth to the Chosen One's child, regardless of further actions in the town. She would need to live to the end of the game, of course.
Unlike her mother, if the Chosen One decides to take out the Bishop family, she will become hostile alongside the rest of the family. If John was killed in less overt ways, such as by trapping his safe or abusing super stimpaks, Angela's dialogue after 24 hours pass. She will only have float dialogue, stating that she knows the Chosen One killed her father and she'll carry out her revenge once she thinks of it, though she never does.
Angela will try to take advantage of a stupid Chosen One (1-3 Intelligence); if one follows her to her bedroom but refuses sex, Angela will scream rape, at which point the Chosen One can say "Shhhh! If you don't be quiet, George won't let me play with th'rabbtiz! Shhhh!", a reference to Lennie Small. Also, if the Chosen One is wearing any kind of power armor, instead of engaging in her normal dialogue, she will remark "Try not to fall through the floor, clanky."
===Miria===
Miria is the daughter of Grisham, the owner of the slaughterhouse in Modoc. Miria, a very shapely and seductive-looking woman, and a font of local gossip, always ending up talking the ears off travellers recounting the goings-on of Modoc. However, she draws the line at talking about her brother, which may be due to the incestuous relationship between the two. She may also have had sex with her paternal uncle, Biff.
Miria has a very active sex life. Those who are disdainful of her sexpertise, and choose to engage in slut-shaming, will earn her ire, and she will refuse all attempts at conversation from that point on. Conversely, those who play their cards right may find themselves in for a very pleasant night... followed by a rude awakening at the hands of her shotgun-toting father.
A male or female Chosen One with 8 Charisma (or 7 and a good reputation in Modoc) can add Miria into the party by marrying her. Unlike Davin, this is achieved by first conversing with her on subjects other than sex, then steering the conversation towards this. She will lose restraint and (figuratively) jump. Then the screen will do the usual fade to black, but in this instance the Chosen One's entire inventory ends up on the ground.
After the deed is done, Grisham will barge in and confront the Chosen One. If male, the Chosen One can attempt to explain it as a "medical examination". The two other options are to run away (which causes the town to become hostile) or to have a shotgun marriage, which will grant the reputation title "Married" and add Miria as a permanent companion.
Once married, Miria will not leave the party unless killed or divorced. Like Davin, she has no additional points in any skills whatsoever, but since the default for Unarmed has the highest base value, she is most proficient (or least inept) at that skill. Like Davin, and unlike regular joinable NPCs, neither her skills, HP, nor AP improve. Neither Miria nor Davin can Level Up, though she can still wear armor.
Marrying her is permanent and there is only one option for removing her that does not involve death or selling her to slavers, since she cannot be asked to wait like a normal party member. The Chosen One may ask Father Tully in New Reno to divorce them in exchange for one bottle of alcohol. This will disband Miria from the Chosen One's party and remove her from the game in play. The Chosen One's "Married" status then becomes "Separated".
Unlike Davin, she has a Strength of three, rather than four, which means she cannot use any SMGs without a strength penalty to her already-deficient skill, though she has a +50 to-hit bonus for short-range fire. Also, trappers are interested in spending "quality time" with Miria, and will offer the Chosen One gecko pelts in exchange for her services.
After having sex with Miria, if a male Chosen One with sufficient Intelligence convinces Grisham that it was a medical examination, Miria will still be open to having sex with the Chosen One afterwards. Therefore, one can repeat this process indefinitely and have sex with Miria many times (each time telling Grisham that it was a medical exam), making an easy method for the player to earn the "Gigolo" reputation title.
=== Davin ===
Davin is the son of Grisham, and brother of Miria. A male or female Chosen One with 8 Charisma (or 7 with a good reputation in Modoc) can add him into the party by marrying him. This is permanent, with the same three options as Miria for getting the "Separated" title: being killed, being sold to slavers, or giving alcohol to Father Tully. Like with Miria, Davin cannot be asked to wait as a normal party member can. Adding him is achieved by seducing, getting into his pants, then having sex with him, and then marrying him in a shotgun ceremony.
This sequence can become bugged, so the more the player character does during the brief interval between the deed and being "caught" by Grisham, and the more the player character does during the ceremony, the more likely it is that it can become bugged. Like Miria, he has no additional points in any skills whatsoever, but since the default for Unarmed has the highest base value, he is most proficient at that skill. Like Miria, and unlike regular joinable NPCs, his skills, HP, and AP won't improve, though he can still wear armor.

He is smiling and laughing. 	"So... my player was SO stupid, that... Get this, get this - he thinks that the shotgun ammo is the water chip, and he takes it back to the Overseer... What an idiot! I had one of those 'violent, dumb as a stone' players running me. And let me tell you... It was fun for a while, but it gets old quick. There's only so much killing to do before you get jaded. We musta spent three hours on the character gen screen before my player FINALLY decided to actually *play* the game. Ian was more dangerous to *me* than the enemies we were fighting. I hope he's dead, wherever he is. Check out the muscles on this character model I've got. It's so exaggerated, it's ridiculous!"

He is smiling and laughing. 	"It was damn impossible to keep Dogmeat alive throughout Fallout 1, especially at the end. He just wasn't tough enough for the end-game! I loved that dog. I wish he woulda showed up in the end movie. There was this one player, Vince DeNardo, who had this tactic for keeping Dogmeat alive at the end. He'd lock him in a force field room on every level to keep him out of combat. The annoying part was doing it on every level without the mutants wasting Dogmeat. I think he pulled it off."

I've never seen so many saves and reloads in my life. Sheesh. Give me a combat boy any day. You know, I really liked how I looked in the combat armor. I never said anything before, but Ian used to...well, stare at me a lot in Fallout 1. It made me uncomfortable. I thought about talking to the designers about it, but I figured as long as Ian didn't cop a feel, it wasn't a problem. Ian was all right looking; it's just that he *really* needed a haircut. And a bath. Whoooo-eeeee."

Of all the nerve!A *black-haired* female model. Can you get any more generic? BOR-ing. Redheads are infinitely more interesting. That black-haired female model got in only because she slept with *every* artist on the team. AND the programmers. AND the project leader. They're soooo easily swayed. Show a little skin, and their spines turns to rubber. So I get shafted and end up being "filler NPCs" in Vault 13. Keee-rist. Talk about typecasting. I'm surprised they rendered that black-haired female model with any clothes. I mean, it's not like she was IN them very much during the screening process. *Sigh* I hate men. Well, except for that dreamy Scotty Everts. I think he stuck up for me. I only had to sleep with him a few times for him to vote for me."

== Trivia ==
=== Fallout ===
* The Vault Dweller and Chosen One have the same sprites as each other.
*The jumpsuit is ripped in the ending of Fallout, but appears intact when it's revealed in Fallout 2.
=== Fallout 2 ===
*Of the four main Fallout protagonists, the Chosen One is the only one to not have come from a Vault-Tec vault.
*Though the player can choose gender and age, it is canonical that the Chosen One was born on 23rd March, 2221, and is therefore 20 years old at the start of the events of Fallout 2.
*At the beginning of Fallout 2, the player can choose one of three custom-built characters, along with the option of creating a new character from scratch. However, none of the pre-made characters are canon identities, as they are not the village elder's offspring.
**19-year-old Chitsa, the tribe's best trader, is an attractive young woman with intelligence and charm.
**21-year-old Narg, the tribe's leading hunter, is a fit, young, and strong warrior-type.
**32-year-old Mingan, the tribe's top scout, has a whisper-soft tread and is the perfect sneak.
*In the Fallout 2 mission "Beat Francis at armwrestling", if the Chosen One loses to Francis' armwrestle, Francis will make the Chosen One his gimp for the night and rape them, after which they will wake up with a ball-gag. However, if the Chosen One beats Francis, they will earn the Big Frigger - a unique power fist.
*If a female Chosen One has an Intelligence of 1-3 and she interacts with Myron, he may be given the chance to give her a spiked drink and have sex with her after she falls unconscious.
=== Fallout: New Vegas ===
* Mr. Bishop is mentioned when The Courier talks to Bruce Isaac. Mr. Bishop can only exist if the Chosen One impregnates either John Bishop's wife Leslie, or their daughter Angela.
**This is the only evidence of the Chosen One being canonically male, though Leslie/Angela Bishop may have been knocked up by somebody else if the Chosen One was female.
