Forum:Mysterious Stranger - Theory of Origin

I've got 4 so far, be creative, add one of your own.


 * 1) The Mysterious Stranger is a P.I. (Private Eye) hired by a wealthy admirer, sent to protect you on your journeys and take graphic photos of you if you fool-around!
 * 2) The Mysterious Stranger is not one person, but one of many Secret Agents sent by an unknown government organization to track your movements and keep logs of your activities. Who ordered this surveillance is unknown, but what is known is that it comes with strict orders not to break cover, except when the target is in danger (V.A.T.S.).
 * 3) The Mysterious Stranger is your real father, trained as a top secret government agent he was forced to swap you with another infant at birth, leaving you in the capable hands of the only father you've ever known. Years later after being betrayed by his own organization The Mysterious Stranger faked his own death and escaped the Commonwealth. He now spends his days shadowing you, keeping you safe. In moments of extreme terror and violence, (V.A.T.S.), when you catch glimpses of him off in the shadows, you see a face much like your own, with an expression of caring and concern that comforts you instead of causing alarm the way a real stranger's face would.
 * 4) The Mysterious Stranger is actually an Android, but wait, it gets better, you are too! Your subconscious mind has been programmed to ignore the Mysterious Stranger when he shows up, instead of getting paranoid and chasing after him to demand to know why he's following you. In fact, your programming is so deliberate that you never stop to consider the fact that some strange guy has been showing up every time you get into a fight without ever once stopping to say hello, or you're welcome! You've also been programmed to think you're the Vault Dweller, in reality the real Vault Dweller, pristine, uncontaminated, pre-war DNA and all, was captured shortly after exiting the vault and is currently imprisoned in an underground bunker somewhere in the Commonwealth. Blood and tissue samples were used to create a clone matrix of muscle and flesh for your android exterior. It has been suggested that your true purpose is quite sinister: you're a synthetic Manchurian Candidate! Programmed with a mental-trigger event, should you manage to infiltrate the organization your creators suspect the real vault dweller would draw the attention of - and be interrogated by this high ranking individual, chemicals found in your synthetic organs will precipitate out and set off a massive chemical chain reaction - equivalent to a small thermonuclear device! --AshRandom 01:34, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) The Mysterious Stranger is a figment of the characters imagination, or delusion, that the character has as a form of displacing responsablity.  Confronted with the horror of what they must do to survive on a daily basis they try shedding the blame a little by convincing themselves that not only is there another person doing some of the killing, but that person values them enough to do it for their sake.

 * 6) The Mysterious Stranger is Santa Claus. Disillusioned with the state of the world, he changed his appearance and now instead of delivering toys each year on Christmas, he now delivers bullets. And it doesn't matter if you're naughty or nice.
 * 7) Somehow you are descended from the original Vault Dweller from Vault 13, throughout your younger years you often wondered what you were supposed to do with your life.  You never really fit in with the other children from Vault  101 getting into fights with those your age.  Until one night you had a dream of a man dressed in a Vault 13 jumpsuit telling you of your importance in future events to come to the wastes.  Since that night, you have noticed that a Mysterious Stranger would be there sometimes with you when you got into any physical altercations with others in the vault and you knew from then on that someone was watching and ready to dispense their own brand of retribution.
 * 8) The Mysterious Stranger is really an alternate personality of yours, coming forth from your mind sometimes when you are brought up in a corner. This might be a result of the traumatizing isolation of the Vault, or maybe you just did too much Psycho? :)

Heres one for you. The mysterious stranger is actually a normal human on his way to a "1950's stereotype of what a stranger might look like night" when he dives in to action and saves your life user:weber134
