Hello everyone, Melody here. For most of December I'm going to be writing happier stuff than I do at the moment. My favourite game series ever has to be Fallout and my favourite is New Vegas. This fic will be a crossover of RWBY and Fallout New Vegas. Anyway I'll give a basic description of my character's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats. Let's get started.
Sincerely, Melody
Normal P.O.V.
A man woke up in the middle of a forest, his skin was tan, his hair was black and in an undercut, he had a goatee, and pale blue eyes. The clothing he wore consisted of a dirty black trench coat with a spade and a twenty one in it on the back, a pair of jeans with tatters in them, a pair of dirty boots, a ballistic vest, a belt that had a helmet hanging off one side and a holster on the other side, a leather glove, and a pip-boy on his wrist. He slowly sat up and groaned loudly and held his head. Within a matter of seconds he pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into his neck and injected himself with it, immediately feeling relief.
"The hell did Doc do?" He asked no one as he got up and grabbed a large rifle that was beside him along with a strange looking gun.
He looked at his pip-boy and tried to see if there was anything on his map. It was blank.
"Damnit I'm definitely not in the Mojave." He grumbled as he started to walk in a random direction.
After about half an hour of walking he started to hear howling. He quickly pulled out a .44 magnum from his holster and aimed around. Right as he felt like nothing was around a large black wolf creature with a bone mask jumped out. He pushed the beast out of his way as it tried to pounce on him. With a pull of the trigger he shot the beast in the head and it started to disintegrate. When the shot shattered the sky about eight more jumped out. The man gained a grin on his face as he started to unload the weapon on the beasts.
A few hours after fighting and getting out of the forest the man found his way to a village. When he entered people gave him weird looks because of how dirty he was. He thought the people there were just as strange, nice, quiet, not trying to kill each other, and there were even people with animal parts. After a few minutes he walked over to a noodle vendor and leaned on the counter.
"Hey you." He told to the person behind the counter who walked over.
"Yes sir?" The woman replied.
"Two things one where am I and two is there any work around here cause I'm not sure my money is good here." He said as he looked at her.
"You're in Mavin and no not really, we don't really have a ton of work around here normally since we're so close to Mistral." She answered. "So where are you from stranger?"
"Shady Sands." He answered as he pushed off the counter. "Thanks for your time miss." With that said he walked off.
While walking a little girl with red eyes and mint green hair bumped into him. After that she ran off in front of him and he felt something missing. His helmet was gone. Within a second he was chasing after her to get it back. She was fast in his opinion but he was faster. As he chased her she jumped into an alleyway. He walked into the alleyway and say her panicked when she noticed it was dead turned around and held up her hands as if she was ready to block any punches.
"Why are you doing that little girl?" He asked as he walked over. "I'm not gonna hurt a child, just gonna get my helmet back." He told her as he knelt down in front of her. When he got a look at her he realized she couldn't be any older than eight.
"Wh-what?" She stammered as she looked at him, shock written all over her face.
"I just want my helmet. You got any parents kid?" He asked her as he grabbed his helmet.
"I-I don't have any…They died a few weeks ago." She mumbled quietly and got a somber look on her face and looked down at her feet.
"I'm sorry. Trust me I know how you feel, my parents are gone also. Been gone for a long time." He told her and she looked up at him.
"Re-really?" She asked.
"Yes it's been a long time, but you shouldn't have a childhood without parents. What's your name little girl?" He asked.
"It's Emerald Sustrai." She answered.
"I'm called Six but I don't have a real name." He told her and smiled at her. "If you'd like I'd take care of you so you don't have to grow up on the streets."
"Re-really? Yo-you're not lying are you?" She asked as she started to tear up.
"No I'm not lying. I'd happily take care of you. So what do you say?" He asked as he offered her his hand.
She teared up even more then tackled him in a hug. He chuckled and hugged her back as she started to cry into his coat. As she cried he patted her head and smiled. He's helped out kids before but never actually took care of one but what the hell he could try.
"Let's find a place to stay Em cause after that I'm gonna find some work so we can make money." Six told her as he got up and helped her up.
"I know a place around here. It's an old building I live in." She told him excitedly.
"Okay then lead the way." He told her and started to follow her as she started to walk.
Two months after they met Six and Emerald still lived in that abandoned building but it was better since Six got a job as a bouncer at the local bar. He was able to actually get this world's money so he could buy stuff. Seems like bartering wasn't great here. Now most would be worried and scared since they were in a new world but he didn't mind since where he came from was an irradiated lump of dirt. He bought a few sleeping bags and new clothing for himself and Emerald. They also would get food and Six would cook it, occasionally they would go out to eat.
One night before Six went to work he noticed Emerald shivering more than normal while she was sleeping. He walked over to her and knelt down, feeling her head to see if she had a fever. She felt extremely warm so he sat beside her.
"Hey Em." He whispered to her. "Hey Em wake up." He whispered again and shook her gently.
"Huh what?" She asked groggily as she woke up and started to cough more.
"Are you feeling alright?" He asked her somewhat worried.
"No I feel hot." She answered as she started to cough more.
"I'll make you something okay. It won't taste good but it'll help you out." He told her as he walked over to the fireplace that was in the house.
Once he was by it he pulled out a match and lit it up. After a few minutes he placed a pot over it and started to throw ingredients together and make something. Emerald wanted to peek over his shoulder to see but she didn't want to move. After five minutes he poured the liquid into a bottle and walked over to her.
"Now drink it all in one go, you'll hate it even more the second time." He told her as he handed her the bottle.
"Will it taste bad?" She asked with a cough.
"Not really, it's just bitter. A friend of mine from way back when taught me how to do this." He explained as she took the bottle.
"Okay then Six." She coughed then started to drink it. Much to his surprise she didn't try to spit it out she just drank it all and when she was done she smiled. "That's not bitter that tastes sweet."
"You are so weird Em." Six laughed as she glared at him.
"You're weird. You smelt like butts and dead people when we met." She giggled as she broke her glare and smiled.
"I'll see you tomorrow mornin' Em. If you need me I'll be down the road like normal." He told her as he ruffled her hair and left the building.
Once he was outside he walked down the road to a bar named Long Mile. No he wasn't the biggest person ever, if fact he was actually small compared to most, but he was fast and very skilled with both weapons and hand to hand combat. First day he went to the bar to find a job he broke up a fight between a few patrons that were fighting over something he couldn't even remember. Once he was there he walked in to let his boss know he was there. After he notified the woman he went outside and leaned against the wall.
As he stood there people passed by him and waved hello or muttered the word. The people in Mavin quickly grew to enjoy their new oddball mercenary. Sure he may have been intimidating to most but he was still gained their trust. The town wasn't that big, only a few square miles big and only had about two thousand people in it. As he looked up to the sky he saw the shattered moon. As he stared a smile grew on his face, sure his home was awful but he still got to see a beautiful moon in the sky.
While he watched the moon he heard screaming coming from the southern entrance of the village. Then he started to smell smoke so he dashed off to the building where Emerald was. As he entered he heard gunshots and more screaming. He slammed the door open when he reached it and saw Emerald curled up in the corner. With a great deal of speed he dashed over to her and picked her up.
"Six? What's going on?" She asked as she looked up him as he grabbed a duffle bag with his free hand.
"Village is under attack by the sound of it." He answered as he made sure everything was in the bag.
"Wait? The village is under attack?" She asked, worry in her voice.
"Don't worry we'll be fine." He comforted her as he ran out of the building with her.
As he ran he slung the bag over his shoulder and pulled out his revolver as Emerald held onto him and pushed her face into his shoulder. While he ran he saw the beasts from a few months ago that he found out was called Grimm. A few people were fighting them but the village was still burning. Whenever a Grimm would try to jump them he'd fire a round perfectly into the head of the beast.
Soon they were on the main road out of the city. He quickly ran down the dirt road. He didn't plan on getting help for the village, he knew it was gone. All he had in mind to do was find another village or the Mistral place that Emerald told him about. After running for twenty minutes he slowed to a casual walking speed. It was easy for him to go for days awake, helped when you had a robotic heart that kept on regulating his blood and a phoenix monocyte breeder to keep him going even more, but he figured Emerald needed to sleep.
After a bit of walking he stopped at an area that seemed safe. He started to set up camp while Emerald slept. After a bit he woke Emerald up and she got in her sleeping bag then went back to sleep while Six stayed awake. While she was sleeping he leaned against a tree, sharpening a knife he kept hidden in his left boot.
He stayed up till dawn and woke up Emerald when the sun was high. Once she was up he got everything together and slung his bag over his shoulder. Then they started to walk, Six holding Emerald's hand.
"Where are we going to go Six?" Emerald asked him as she looked up at him
"I don't know Em. I don't really even know where I am I just know that this is a road." He replied to her as he looked down at her. "Who knows there might be a village nearby and you can make some friends." He suggested and she smiled brightly at him.
"Okay then! Let's go!" She exclaimed as she ran off ahead of him.
"Hey wait up little lady!" Six yelled as he chased after her, he heard her giggling as she ran ahead.
"Don't be a slowpoke then!" She shouted back to him while still giggling.
