Benny being believed to be dead by the Chairmen due to the Courier forcing him along after confronting him and Swank, now appointed head of the Chairmen grieving. And it would be super sad but he decides to honor his friend by wearing that awful fucking coat but it’s tailored so specifically to Benny that he can’t move in it or do anything but get super sad and irritated when people say to alter it or just not wear it.

He couldn’t light his own cigarette cause he couldn’t move his arm and they watched him struggle for 20 minutes.

#the climax to this is Benny coming back and Swank giving him the worst hug cause of the coat #and Bennys happy but mildly irritated cause it’s like Swanks fat tits stretched it out and now he has to wait to wear it again or something #but when he tries to take swanks he drowns in it #this is Benny x swank #they should get a ship name or something #heads of the board? #cause it’s like the chairmen #or like Top seats cause of the casino name #fallout #fallout new vegas #benny gecko #benny fnv #swank fnv

I am making grabby hands and begging for more of your lovely Benny HC’s pleeeeease

Okie Dokie!!! Kinda long so under the cut it is

Benny is baby-faced and mid-20s. I like the idea he was so roped into House's offer because he was and still is kinda young and impressionable. His lobes aren't fully cooked yet and it shows.

Short and just now getting stout. Being a wastelander means you stay kinda lean and now he takes a lot of opportunities to fill out and look bigger.

Weirdly naive. He can spot a lie/lair from a mile away but if you somehow can charm your way past that intuition he's all too trusting with you on personal matters. All boot riders are like this actually as they rarely are wary of someone considered their own.

Moves like a lizard, very still one moment and then fast/jittery the next. He's not very predictable outside of being a backstabber.

A hand talker who can't keep still or quiet for long. Gets bored easily which is why he never was the casino desk man.

Was just called Gecko before but mainly for his eyes and not the aforementioned behavior. Very cold and sharp like a Mojave golden Gecko but also pretty.

All his smiles are practiced. There's a certain menace his natural smile has, too many teeth, too big, too wild, too mocking. Kinda like a dog barring his teeth and combined with his eyes it's rather intimidating. All the fake smiles are coy and rather closed lip.

Doesn't like using guns but it gives him an edge. Likes to get in close and feel like he's earned the kill during a fight but he's got an image now...

Not religious and doesn't get organized religion. Part of House's doing as House of course would explain it as something superfluous but Benny's own opinions are more "If a god was real why would he make life suck this much ass"

Maria means nothing to him but is part of his image. Following the point below, what he got from House is like a uniform for him, even if he doesn't want to go back to it, it is physically comforting.

Got to choose his name from a list House gave him. Chairmen had the most things altered about them. Treats his name like a title more than anything, interestingly enough.

If he ever defected he would join the followers. They share a lot of viewpoints and he'd act as a spokesman vs anything else. He is a likable guy, just not a guy you can get close to while keeping a "likable" opinion of him.

Doesn't sleep that much. Not much to do with the plans he has but he is a wastelander at heart. The city while secure isn't what he's fully used to still and the lights/sounds keep him up

Emotionally repressed and doesn't know it. Has a hard time actually connecting with most people cause he struggles with determining if a relationship is serious. People are friends or FWB and little else cause it's never been important to his or the Chairmens' prosperity.

Follows Boot-Rider customs discreetly and says Chairmen shit for show. A lot of the family would tell you a big reason Boot-Rider traditions aren't gone is that he won't let them die even if they gotta be silent about them.

He's eerily people smart. Intelligence is subjective here as he's not book smart but he gets people he knows what they want to hear even if he doesn't genuinely believe it. The comic knows he pays attention to what makes people vulnerable and he's like idk FNV Heather Chandler. Not introspective at all though.

My last point for now is: Violent. Maybe a better word is intense but he lacks inhibition and temperament control in a lot of aspects. If he's forced a direction he kinda just runs wild even if he was taking it slow before. He has hard opinions and makes plans with a sense of finality to them and doesn't act until that's achievable. Like I'm sorry but he gets mean at you and whatever he say to Yes-Man about the khans must be crazy with how YM talks about them. He is so willing to get his hands dirty, I can imagine he misses being able to get messy.

This is not organized at all but these are major ways I see Benny. He's like borderline an oxymoron who avoids it by small margins. Everything about him can be explained even though we don't get a lot of personal info about him, we know his habits. He's a guy who has such a detailed facade you can't tell what his actual face is most of the time and when he does show it, it's only in very specific and wild scenarios it can be hard to say it's how he'd really be. I'll just say the opening of the comic with him fluctuating from motionlessly looking at Vegas, to calmly talking to Swank, to rage and settling on something almost like commercial charm when talking about murdering what is basically a family member is just so indicative of what Benny is and how I tend to characterize him in my head.

#like realistically hed be so offputting in real life #like a person you know is being condescending or holding their tongue on the most trivial of things #i wouldn't mess with him cause hes the type to not hold a grudge cause hed just kill you for it #fallout #fallout new vegas #fnv #benny fallout #benny fnv #benny gecko #ask #anon

Megaton is so close to the Vault and it’s so funny. Imagine being the rest of vault 101 leaving after the bitch you all collectively hate still saved you only to end up in a town that loves them (dependent on if you don’t blow it up) but has them living their free of charge.

Like you can’t say or do shit because like the whole wasteland usually ends up fucking with them hard and you have to sit there seething. Like what losers.

#they hate the lone wanderers swagger and massive I shan’t say #fallout #fallout 3 #they see my Nuka cola machine and start throwing tantrums #if I was the lone wanderer I’d host parties just to be smug #like so glad you made it from the vault how was the 10 minute walk #the lone wanderer

Some sad speculation to ruin your day. What if he finds them, but he's out of chems and out of time?

#fallout #it’d be bittersweet if the only one he does attack is her

I know the most dangerous people in the wastes are like shop owners and bar keepers. Like not only do they have to defend their place and property but deal with people who don’t know how to order shit or are rude.

Like I just defended my inn from a swarm of rad scorpions and you’re complaining that your deathclaw egg is the not fried hard enough? I’m pulling a pin on a frag grenade and throwing it on your plate.

#I had a very rough shift and I’m so livid so I’m gonna make a fallout post about it #fallout

Vault-Boy synth that is absolutely hated by all wastelanders and vault experiment survivors for representing Vault-Tec and praised in such an alienating and dehumanizing way by still surviving vault dwellers.

All this while having to actively figure out how to be alive for the first time ever AND in a world plastered with warped abominations of the past physically and ideologically along with his face.

#like they hate him cause hes a walking advert of the people we now know dropped the bombs #even if i prefer the ambiguity of who dropped the first nuke #and new world not trusted tech along with being seen as a manifestation of all vault dwellers ideal #and having to discover all feelings at once who he wants to be as a person and not as vault boy and having the pain of the wasteland #constantly ingulfing him #like mascot comes to life and learns living is horrible but he wants to sooooo bad #fallout #fallout 4 #vault bo #vault boy
