Mr. RADical

Mr. RADical (named scavenger in-game) was an insane scavenger in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
One day this scavver found a radiation suit, he became so extremely excited about the find that he immediately renamed himself "Mr. RADical." He would decide to test his new find; the third day with the suit he made an overnight visit to Yucca Mountain, he didn't tread too deep into the facility fearing the large moving object that he could barely see further down the tunnel. Being simply overjoyed with his suit it didn't occur to him that all the vomiting he was experiencing the next morning could've been radiation sickness. Blaming the whole episode on something he ate and was satisfied with none of the sick getting on the suit.

On the ninth day he ran across Old Lady Gibson and her scrap yard. At this point he was simply out of his mind with pride; believing himself completely invulnerable to radiation so long as he had the suit. He immediately asked if she had anything radioactive for sale. An unusual request, though not one she was unable to deliver. For years she had this glowing container she was using for a nightlight simply because it wouldn't sell. He snapped it up for fifty caps and decided to head to Clark Field to prove to himself that the suit could withstand higher radiation levels. His delusion in the suit got to the point that he not only believed that if the suit held up there, he could just open the jar and dowse himself with the contents but also that he could swim in it.

In the end it was his delusional pride and overconfidence that would be his undoing, well that and the radiation poisoning and Golden geckos. His corpse lies at the end of the road, at the entrance to the facility.
