Fallout New Vegas - Race To The Bottom (A Fallout New Vegas Mini DLC)
Jaimie Lynne for Ella Hawthorne - NCR Upper Class Store Owner
The character you will be playing is called Ella. Ella is the daughter of an NCR brahmin baron. You can think of brahmin as this universe’s equivalent of cattle. Brahmin barons are the people with the most influence in NCR society owning the most capital and land out of everyone in the country. They often bribe politicians and partake in lobbying to twist policy to suit their needs so they stay rich and the workers stay poor. Ella is the daughter of such a powerful man. As such, she often displays a snobbish attitude against those less fortunate than her and is a firm believer in the current system of governance. She believes that her family’s fortune is a result of hard work and that all criticism against the family business comes from a place of jealousy. The performance should contain a hint of snobbery but nothing too extreme or hammy as the upper class citizens of the NCR still make their money from being cattle ranchers.
Note - I would like to pay more for your time as this is quite a bit of work but budget is very limited as this is a solo passion project. I'd completely understand if this is too much work for such low payment.
Player - “You said you were held at gunpoint. Tell me more.”
Ella - "Yeah. A couple of days ago, was business as usual when all of a sudden, a gang comes in and kicks the front door in; nearly taking it off its hinges...They were screaming at the top of their lungs, demanding I give them all the caps in the register...it shook me up a little as it would anyone but my Pa taught me how to use a shotgun back on the ranch so I bided my time."
Player: “Do you like living in Freeside?”
Ella - “God, no! When I first thought about moving out to the frontier. I was expecting excitement, adventure!...Instead, it mostly just smells of piss and disappointment. Although that may just be the locals.”
Player: “No. I've been in Freeside a bunch of times.”
Ella - "You'll know this place better than me then. I moved in here only a few weeks back and it's been hard to settle in...Doesn't help when you're colloquially known as the NCR bitch. Don't worry about that though, that's just dumb idiots being dumb idiots."
