You think I inject myself with all that shite and drink myself drunk because I'm a "tough Irish gal?" I do it so I can forget and move on with me miserable life. So there you are. The entire flawed package known as Cait, stripped bare for your perusal.

Cait (born 2261)[1] is cage fighter at the Combat Zone and a potential companion of the Sole Survivor in 2287.

Background[]

To say that Cait's life was unpleasant would be understatement. She was born into an abusive family, her parents routinely beating and yelling at her. She tried to run away twice, the first time she did it, they locked her in a shed outside of the house they lived in. The second time, they broke one of her legs.[2] Cait eventually became convinced she was a mistake, due to the constant abused, but deluded herself into thinking that they loved her... Enough not to kick her out of the house. The illusion was shattered once her eighteenth birthday came: They slapped a shock collar around her neck and sold her into slavery, all without a hint of regret.[3][4]

For the next five years, Cait was used as an entertainment slave, for a variety of purposes she refuses to detail. While it wrecked her emotionally and warped her personality, Cait carefully cultivated an anger inside her and eventually learned some tricks of their trade. Stealing caps from sleeping slavers, she eventually managed to buy herself out. With 23 years worth of pent-up fury, she tracked down her parents and slaughtered them in bloody vengence.[5][6]

After everything was said and done, Cait took to alcohol and chems to help forget her past. She joined the Combat Zone as a gladiator and fought to provide her with the funds to buy everything she needed to forget. The point of the fighting wasn't just to provide her with funds, though. She hated everyone, herself the most, and the violence - and pain, and wounds, and the Psycho - were ways to punish herself and find death.[7] Unfortunately, Cait proved too tough to beat, even when raiders took the joint over and it got decidedly more brutal. Those who didn't keep their head on a swivel were liable to be sucker punched and at minimum robbed. Cait herself learned that short of buying friends, she's a victim waiting to be preyed upon. The teacher was a raider named Stratton, who dumped her to be beaten up by raiders the moment she stopped having sex with him.[8] By the time the Sole Survivor comes, Cait has been a cage fighter for three years, two of them under raider management - all with a hundred victory to her name.[9]

She puts up a deceptively convincing tough Irish gal act, but beneath the exterior lurks a broken woman, with a lifetime of misery behind her.[10] Yet despite her life being a seemingly unceasing march of adversity, disappoitnment, and horror (coupled with Psycho reliance and the accompanying progressive health damage[11]) Cait refuses to put a shotgun slug through the roof of her mouth. Despite looking at the shotgun barrels more than once, she has yet to pull the trigger. Perhaps she is praying to find a single decent scrap of humanity in her life. And, perhaps the Sole Survivor will be that scrap.[12]

This character starts quests.

Quests[]

  • Benign Intervention: After coming to trust the Sole Survivor, Cait will ask them to take her to Vault 95 to cure her addiction to Psycho.

Effects of player actions[]

  • Earning Cait's loyalty is a fickle thing, due to the fact that she has a major personality shift after her personal quest.
    • Before Cait's personal quest, taking and becoming addicted to chems and drinking alcohol raises her affinity while donating items lowers it. After her personal quest, alcohol has no affect on her affinity, donating items now raises it, taking and becoming addicted to chems lowers it and, as such, taking Addictol raises it.

References

  1. 18 years with parents, 5 with the slavers, 3 at the Combat Zone totals 26. 2287 - 26 = 2261
  2. The Sole Survivor: "Why didn't you run away?"
    Cait: "I tried. Twice. The first time I did it, they locked me in a shed outside of the house we lived in. The second time, they broke one of me legs."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  3. The Sole Survivor: "I appreciate your trust."
    Cait: "Well, you're the first to earn it. It all starts with two wastes of humanity I suppose you could call me parents. I'm convinced I was a mistake, because I can't remember a single moment that they treated me like their daughter. I was yelled at and beaten. Everythin' I did was wrong. Nothin' but a nuisance in their eyes. The whole time I was tellin' meself that they had to love me, even if it was just the tiniest bit, because they never kicked me out. Then me eighteenth birthday arrived, and I found out why they kept me around. They slapped a shock collar around me neck and sold me to slavers. They didn't even care enough about me to say goodbye. Eighteen years of sufferin' through that shite and all I was worth to them was a pocketful of caps."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  4. The Sole Survivor: "How could you kill your own parents?"
    Cait: "How can you call them parents? They were opportunists who were takin' advantage of a human bein' just to make a few caps! If I had come out of that bitch of a mother deformed, they would have drowned me in the river and started again. They didn't give a shite about me. So I didn't give a shite about them. End of story."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  5. The Sole Survivor: "My god. I'm so sorry."
    Cait: "Thanks, but there's more to the story. It would be easy to blame me charmin' personality on me parents. But they didn't make me this way, I did. I was with those slavers for five years. Roughest five of me goddamn life. The things they made me do... the way they used me for their amusement. It sickens me to my stomach even thinkin' about it. But I bidded me time and learned to use their own methods against them. Stealin' a few caps out of a sleepin' man's pocket is a piece of cake... as long as you don't get greedy."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  6. The Sole Survivor: "I can't even imagine having to go through something like that."
    Cait: "You think that's low? Just wait. The story gets much worse. It took every ounce of patience I had, but after five years I had finally pocketed enough to buy me own way outta there. But instead of headin' off to try and repair the shambles of me life, I gave in to me rage and I headed home. You can imagine the look on me parents faces when I kicked open their door. What you can't imagine is what they looked like after... after I emptied me gun into them."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  7. The Sole Survivor: "I always have time to listen to you, Cait."
    Cait: "Good, because this isn't easy for me to say, and I want to get it right. Sigh. Where do I begin? Did you know I spent three years fightin' at the Combat Zone? Three years of gettin' beaten to hell by a bunch of losers and lunatics. After the matches were over, I'd spit out the blood, stitch me wounds and do a couple shots of Psycho to keep me goin'. I fuckin' hated it. I hated the crowds, I hated the other fighters and I hated meself. I never understood why I put myself through all of that. Until now. It's because I was alone. And I think deep down, I wanted to die... I wanted one of me opponents to crush the life out of me. The easy way out."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  8. The Sole Survivor: "Why are you so paranoid about debts?"
    Cait: "It was kind of my fault. Got close to a guy named Stratton while I was there... thought we really had somethin' goin'. One night we had a fight cause I wouldn't hop in the sack with him. Our fight got pretty bad... nothin' physical, just a whole lot of yellin'. So I get pissed off, and I leave. I get outside and a bunch of Raiders start pushin' me around, givin' me shite. Stratton walks out, looks at me and says "Next time you'll think twice before walkin' out on me." Fucker left me there. I got beat up pretty good that night. That's when I learned that nobody does favors for free."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  9. The Sole Survivor: "What exactly do you think I'm expecting in return?"
    Cait: "Who knows? Doin' your laundry, takin' a bullet for you, haulin' your gear... what's the difference? I don't think I'm getting' through to you. Let me explain what I mean, and then maybe you'll understand where I'm comin' from. I spent three years livin' at the Combat Zone. Smelled like puke and piss, but I called it home. I was makin' a few caps, had me own bed to sleep in and three hot meals a day. Then the Raiders took over the place. You know that lot... they aren't exactly what you'd call "the gentle type." After they moved in, if you didn't keep lookin' over your shoulder, you were liable to get sucker punched and robbed... or worse. Didn't take me long to learn that I had to put my hard-earned caps to good use. Buyin' friends was essential to makin' life easier. So I guess I'm waitin' for you to hand me a bill, you know what I mean?"
    (Cait's dialogue)
  10. The Sole Survivor: "Sounds like justice to me."
    Cait: "Was it justice or was it murder? When I close me eyes, all I can see is their faces twisted with fear. And then me mind starts wanderin' and I start judgin' myself. And it's rippin' me the fuck apart. You think I inject myself with all that shite and drink myself drunk because I'm a "tough Irish gal?" I do it so I can forget and move on with me miserable life. So there you are. The entire flawed package known as Cait, stripped bare for your perusal."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  11. Cait: "I never thought I'd be sayin' this, but I... well, I really need your help."
    The Sole Survivor: "Anything you need, Cait."
    Cait: "I was hopin' you'd say that. We're friends now, which means I can trust ya with anythin'. I'm also hopin' it means you've got me back... 'cause I need it now more than ever. I'm... I'm sick... and I don't think I can hide it from ya anymore."
    The Sole Survivor: "Okay, calm down and take a deep breath. If you're sick, I want to help you."
    Cait: "Okay, okay... it's like this. Ever since I left home, I been usin' Psycho. I dunno why I'm still takin' that crap, but I can't stop... and believe me, I've tried. I can't even go a day without it anymore and I'm fuckin' sick and tired of it. I've even been doin' it behind your back.... sneakin' doeses when I think you aren't lookin'. Worst of all, it's been makin' me sick. I've been spittin' blood and I don't feel right inside. I need to get this shite out of me system before I wind up dead."
    (Cait's dialogue)
  12. The Sole Survivor: "Well, that's the past. You're not alone anymore."
    Cait: "Then maybe you know what I'm tryin' to say to you. My life's been nothin' but one huge failure after another. You've heard all me stories and you know the prices I've paid. There were a few times... when things got really bad, that I... I found meself starin' down the barrel of me own shotgun. I don't why I didn't pull the trigger. I guess I was prayin' that I could find a single decent scrap of humanity in this fucked up world. And then... what you did for me back there at Vault 95... it was like the answer to those prayers. That's the first time in me life I fully depended on someone else and they didn't let me down. Goddamn it, I'm makin' a mess of this..."
    (Cait's dialogue)
