Well hi there. I'm Vicky, and I suck at writing about myself. But I'll have a damn good go at it. Cue incessant self-deprecation.

I'm 19, from the UK, and obviously, a Fallout fan. I'm also not-so-fresh out of a third year at college after some stupid life choices, and so far, unemployed. I have this vacant hope that some miracle might cause me to land a publishing deal, or that some other miracle might cause my second-rate writing blog to kick off. So, yeah. I'm caught midway between ridiculous dreams and things I say to myself in order to keep my morale up. Fun.

Hmm ... what else ... I play a lot of Fallout. A lot. Well, I mean, it's not like I have a daily routine or anything, so hell, I do what I enjoy and I enjoy playing Fallout. I also read a lot. That's pretty much all I do, though. Playing Fallout and reading. As I say, I don't do much.

'You're probably wondering why some lucky girl hasn't swept me off my feet yet ...' (the words of Arcade Gannon, paraphrased, of course, to suit my situation) ... like I say. Not that interesting. Honestly, I'm an incredibly boring person. But I have my deep, dark secrets that are sometimes fun to divulge at inopportune moments. (:

Lola Adams
Lola Adams is a Courier working for the Mojave Express in 2281. She has a tendency to flirt or sleep her way through many of the problems she encounters, however, spending time as part of a group of mercenaries in her late teens and early twenties has caused her to become skilled with a number of weapons, most predominantly guns.

Before her journey to the Mojave, Lola's reputation was far different than the one she eventually built. While still carrying out numerous deliveries, her methods were often far different than the ones she used in the East, and while saving on ammunition, she found that eventually her tricks stopped working quite so well. She was offered large sums of caps to become an 'entertainer' in Reno, a stint that was short-lived due to a client's irresistible offer concerning a package bearing the Old World's flag and a locale referred to as the Divide. Little did she know that this offer would devastate the Divide and all those living with in it, as well as sparking Ulysses' hunt for her.

After being tracked down by Benny, Jessup and McMurphy, and awakening in Goodsprings, she didn't so much desire revenge as answers, thus starting her journey to the New Vegas Strip after discovering where Benny had gone. She was allied with the New California Republic for a time, prior to her eventual meeting with Benny in The Tops. It was a combination of curiosity and desire that prompted her to ally with Yes Man before the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, as well as the notion that her influence across the Mojave by that point made her a worthy candidate to seize power; a somewhat naive approach, but far too tempting for her to let go of.

It was this that almost cost her her life inside the Sierra Madre vault. Recognizing a Gold bar as being of the same material as some Legion Aureus that she had scavenged, she considered their possible value in the Mojave, and was again tempted to seize all of them for her own; it was sheer panic that prompted her to 'let go', eventually confronting Elijah. The few bars she took back to the Mojave with her remain on show in her suite in the Lucky 38 as a reminder of what she left there.

Having journeyed to Utah for a delivery before settling in Reno, Lola became interested in a the Happy Trails Caravan Company's radio broadcast advertising an expedition to New Canaan. Her time in Zion Canyon led to a time of introspection, as well as the discovery of new beliefs that did not entirely match her own; while not usually being a warmonger, Lola's decision to help Joshua Graham drive the White Legs out of Zion was born from both a fascination with his legacy, as well as a longing to recall her own birthplace. She later convinced Joshua to spare the life of the White Legs' leader, Salt-Upon-Wounds, in part through a vague regret that she had instigated the battle itself, but also taking to heart what she had learned in Zion.

After establishing her position on the Legion's stance in the Mojave, viewed as something of a traitor in Caesar's eyes through her one-time alliance with the NCR, she journeyed back to Nipton, where a strange radio transmission south of the ruined town prompted her to investigate. She was subsequently transported to Big MT, where she underwent a lobotomy, as well as having her heart and spine removed, thereby being relegated to remain in Big MT until she had resolved the Think Tank (faction)'s problems. This was not an easy feat, and Lola frequently found herself conflicted between the ingenuity of the research that went on there, and the unethical nature of the procedures. The Think tank's salvation lay only in the fact that she had taken the time to learn as much as she could about the crater and its experiments, as well as engaging her curiosity about the other members of the Think tank; she took into account the strangeness of empathising with machines, or beings that had once been human, kept alive by machines, and considered it a phenomenon too incredible to destroy. Upon meeting with, and sparing, Mobius and taking her brain back (which agreed only under duress), Lola returned to the Mojave, though sought refuge in The Sink on a number of occasions when her dealings in the wasteland became too trying.

Ulysses' message, giving the co-ordinates for the Canyon Wreckage to the West of Primm came at a near silent period of time for Lola. Feeling drained from her travels, her intention had been to settle on The Strip for a time, mostly gambling and drinking amongst other things. In turn, this prompted a slight feeling of despair within her; while she had learned what she considered to be enough, her actions on The Strip were proof that she had not bothered to apply any of it. Her need for attention (with behaviour that displayed some histrionic tendencies) refused to settle; Ulysses message appeared to fulfil this message more than any man or woman on The Strip could, and she made her way towards Primm, eager to travel to the Divide, a name she recognized from years before.

Walking this road was not what she had expected. Far from satisfying a burning curiosity, what she was met with in Hopeville threatened to horrify her enough to force her to turn back; only the mysterious broadcasts, transmitted through a copy of her companion, ED-E, encouraged her to continue on, with a fear that she would meet her end, but also with a sense that she could not allow things to end in battle. The revelation that she had been the one to so thoroughly devastate the Divide stunted her progress. She sought refuge mere miles from Ulysses' Temple, considering what she would have done had she never taken up the delivery offer.
