Charlie Newsom

Charlie in her fallout inspired gear

Charlie Newsom was the main sim in a 2 part series inspired by fallout, where she had to survive in an underground bunker for a week. This was due to a radiation leak from the secret lab in strangerville where the challenge was set.

## Description

Charlie has a medium length of dark-brown hair. She has brown eyes and brown eyebrows. Her skin is of a darker colour suggesting she may be of Asian/African origin. She wears a Fallout jumpsuit with the number 101 imprinted on the back (representative of her vault number) and also wears a Pit Boy. On her face, she has a few scars from when her face got injured in an accident. She wears no make-up because Clare believes that in a bunker you wouldn't wear or need make-up.

## Adulthood

Charlie begins her challenge of surviving in the bunker. The bunker is 4 floors underground and is very basic, consisting of a bathroom, a kitchen (though she couldn't cook due to not having the right ingredients), a bedroom, a growing room and the main room where she would exercise and listen in for any radio signals that she could use to get help. There was also a medical bay that was only used to patch up her face after she damaged it.

On day 1 of the challenge, she mostly just began to grow plants as that was the main goal of the day. She mainly grew grapes, carrots and mushrooms. Her only friend in the bunker was the toilet as the robot Clare had planned to live down there with her vanished. This led her to talk to the toilet for the first few days as she had no one else to talk to.

On day 2, the goal was to overcome starvation, which she did as her plants became harvestable. She had to eat them raw though because she wasn't able to boil them. This day was spent mostly doing the same things like day 1.

However, on day 3 thing began to get more interesting for Charlie. A stranger had appeared outside of her vault begging to be let in. He was called Jacob Tse and was from vault 81. After he had been scanned to check if he had high levels of radiation (which he didn't) Charlie let him in. Clare said this was because of her good trait. They didn't get along at first and teased each other a lot.

The next day, the goal was to learn to share supplies with her new vault mate. They had to split up food and share water. As there was only one bed, they had to share that as well. later on in the day, Charlie discovered that there was a radiation leak in the vault because she had opened it to let Jake in. To represent this, Clare set the Sickness part of the Life Tragedies mode to on and set the speed to very slow as it was only a very small leak.

On day 5, the leak got bigger and some of the plants began to fail, meaning there was less food to share so they had to be more careful with food. Jake and Charlie began to get along better and didn't dislike each other anymore. The speed on the Life Tragedies mod was set to normal.

On day 6, all the crops failed meaning they could no longer grow any more food. Luckily they both had plenty of mushrooms and carrots in their inventories. Charlie became friends with Jacob,  and the Sickness speed was now set to fast. They both began to realise they were in danger of radiation as the leak became very large. An emergency broadcast was made to say that if they could survive till midnight the next night, they would be rescued.

On the final day of the challenge, both of them became ill and the vault became inhabitable. Throughout the day, they both kept passing out and acquired a moodlet which revealed how long their illness would last for. Once Charlie's ran out, it was replaced by a moodlet that said she was dying and a bar popped up showing how long she had to live. She spent a lot of the day crying. One of her whims was to stargaze with Jacob, so Clare let them both go outside together a few hours before the rescue time to stargaze as Charlie had never seen the stars before and had very little time left. About an hour and 20 minutes before the rescue time, Charlie passed away due to radiation poisoning. The Grim Reaper never showed up so Jacob, was not able to plead to for her life. Jacob survived the challenge and got saved, leaving Charlie's grave behind outside the bunker.
