Lumpy John

Lumpy John is Skeeter's assistant in Fallout 2.

Background
Skeeter's friend and assistant is a very thin, saggy-eyed, and unhappy-looking human. The reasons for this are numerous, but perhaps the most important is his mistreatment at the hands of other humans. Lumpy John has a natural resistance to radiation. Perfect around Gecko, but enough to get him shunned as non-human in Vault City.

One day, John had enough of Vault City's hypocrisy and vileness. He left the city to die in the wastes. It was a stroke of luck, as a Broken Hills caravan heading to Gecko picked him up. He found a new family among the ghouls, forming the closest bond with Skeeter. John picked up a job as a brahmin caretaker, watching them and making sure nothing ill happens to the herd. He developed insight into brahmin as a result.

Among the ghouls he is often referred to as Lumpy. The nickname stuck when the ghouls learned of John's mistreatment at the hands of fellow humans. It struck them as ironic that he's even more lumpy than they are.

Appearances
Lumpy John appears only in Fallout 2.
