Fallout: Nuka Break/Characters


The characters for the Web Series Fallout: Nuka Break


Twig's Group

Twig

Ladies, Ladies... What you should really be concerned about... are the guns pointed at your heads right now.

Actor: Zack Frinfrock

A vault-dweller from Vault 10, a vault filled with overweight people, Twig searches the wastes of Nevada and California in search of the perfect "Nuka Break" with his friends, Ben and Scar

Associated tropes:

  • Appropriated Appellation: The bullies of Vault 10 called him Twig to make fun of him for being the least overweight person in the vault, but he seems to have no problem using the name.
  • Author Avatar: He's pretty much Zack in Fallout. Well, except the dumb part.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck: A justified example. Twig and company think "By Menen!" is a religious hymn and treat it as if it was taking the Lord's name in vain when swearing.
  • Guile Hero: While he's good in combat, Twig can actually talk his way out of situations with Bounty Hunters and Raiders. Though usually this sets up his team to shoot them.
  • Idiot Hero: Twig plays this role in the party. Zack Frinfrock has stated that Twig only survives because he has a 10 in his Luck S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat. His Charisma is apparently high as well, according to a recent panel

Scar: "Staying mad at you is like being mad at a puppy! It's too dumb to know any better."

Scarlett "Scar"

"This is the wastes, love is where you find it."

Actor: Tybee Diskin

A former slave in Caesar's Legion, Scar was saved by Ben and Twig when her new owner was seeking refuge from the desert heat while moving her across the Colorado River. The bounty on her head by the Legion proves to be the party's most dangerous problem.

Associated tropes:

  • Action Girl: She may have been a slave, but Scar is good with her Laser Rifle and packs a pretty good punch.
    • Turns out Twig and Ben didn't save her. Twig was crying on the ground and Ben was severely injured. Scar broke herself free and saved them then sealed the cave with one of Ben's grenades.
  • Badass Damsel: And how!
  • Doom Magnet: Due to her having a bounty by the Legion.
  • The Lancer
  • Weapon of Choice: Her Tri-Beam Laser Rifle. Too bad bad Ben shot it.

Ben Real Name: Benjamin Eldridge

"Here's how it's gonna work. You're going to call off your goddamn goons or I blow your head off!"

Actor: Aaron Giles

A ghoul with tendency to take what isn't his.

Associated tropes:

  • Badass: It's implied but it's not really seen until episode 5, when he sneaks away from his guards off screen and shoves his shotgun into the back of Larry's head.

Larry: "You were watching her, and WHO WAS WATCHING HIM!? "

  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: He seems to have this with Scar, who is the only person he likes. That said, he and Scar fight constantly but he always apologizes to her but never to Twig.
  • Character Development: In episode 3, Ben shows disgust at his old friend selling Jet. We also learned he worked for Myron during Fallout 2 and left due to moral reasons. He's even hating himself for even considering taking this job from a drug-dealer, friend or not.
  • The Fog of Ages: Ben's 200 years old and his failing memory is actually hinted at. While it's usually Played for Laughs (By Menen!), there are also hints that Ben is at the early stages of what would be old age for a ghoul and is slowly losing his memory. He has problems remembering where Eastwood is and things he's said.
  • Honor Before Reason: He lets Larry live despite trying to turn them into the Legion to pay off his debt to him Scar calls him out on it, but he points out that killing Larry isn't going to stop Leon from pursuing her and that they need to take him out instead.
  • Jerkass: To pretty much everyone.
    • Twig gets this badly from him as he has tried to irradiate Twig, get him fired from his job, shot, and coerce into blowing himself up to save him and Scar.
    • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He does care about Scar a lot and openly apologizes to her. He even rescued her from slavers!
  • Kleptomaniac Hero: If it isn't nailed down, he tries to steal it. They get run out of Goodsprings because of this.

Ben: "Woo! Free Shit! YEAH!"

  • McGuffin: The ring around his neck.
  • Memetic Mutation: Like you didn't have "By Menen!" stuck in your head after the first episode.
    • Now in-universe as well, as Twig uses it as a curse.
  • Mysterious Past: We don't know much about Ben's history, but the Season 1 finale reveals that an NCR Ranger has been protecting him (without his knowledge) and recognizes the ring he wears around his neck.
  • The Hero: Is starting to seem to be the main protagonist as he has gotten the most character development, is an Ensemble Darkhorse of the series and season 1 ended with major implications about Ben's past.
  • Weapon of Choice: A Hunting Shotgun.

The Protector

Ben: "What are you doing?"
The Protector: "Protecting YOU!"

Actor: Camereon Diskin

Tanner & Co.

The villians of the original NukaBreak Fan Film. They are also NOT Talon Company.

Tanner

"Did these punks just get the drop on us?"

Actor: Robert Thorne

The leader of Tanner & Co.

Associated tropes:

  • Mondegreen: Not him, but many viewers thought the name of their organization was the Talon Company, who have no presence on the West Coast where the series takes place.
  • Oh Crap: He's the one who figures out what's up with that Eyebot and Twig's plan.
  • Oh, No, Not Again
  • Surrounded by Idiots
  • True Neutral: It's pretty clear he's just in this for the money.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Though Red doesn't really qualify as a "hero" he calls her out on shooting him in the face just because she's pissed off.

Red

"You're cramping my style!"

Actor: Michele Specht

Tanner's girlfriend and all-around crazy bitch. She's also the only one to survive the movie.

Associated tropes:

"Did you SAY A FAT VAULT DWELLER!?!?!?!?!!!

Joey

"Oh shit, we did the pop-up thing"

Actor: Kevin Brooks

Third member of Tanner & Co.

Associated tropes:

  • Flat Character
  • Too Dumb to Live: He forgets to pop-up when their targets arrive, read the bounty and then complains about his boss and his psycho girlfriend when they miss hitting Twig and Scar (which he missed as well).


Characters from Fallout

John Henry Eden

Actor: Malcolm McDowell

Associated tropes:

Chet

"Have you ever considered that you're just a terrible courier?"

Actor: Jason Grasl

Associated tropes:


Characters played by Vic Mignogna

The Narrator

"The wasteland. A desolate place, darkened by the shadows of a dead civilization. There are no heroes, only survivors. This the story of one man's quest to find happiness. The perfect Nuka Break." - Opening Narration

  • Narrator
  • Unreliable Narrator: He describes things from Twig's point of view when discussing previous events, which are admittedly skewed.

Trader Vic

"I traded my last bottle a couple a few days ago; got this fancy hat in exchange. It's adjustable."

A trader who gets in a random fire fight with Twig & Co.

Associated tropes:

"I think you got plenty of ammo! And you're waiting for me to come out so you can shoot me!!"

  • Idiot Ball: Yeah, you should totally make fun of your armed customers.
  • Nice Hat: "It's adjustable."
  • Squick: We don't know if he knew she was alive or not, but the movie implies he was going to have sex with Red's corpse. Thank god she was alive.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye:

Old Man / Eastwood General Store Owner

"Nuka? No. Just Sunset."

Owner of the Eastwood General Store.

Associated tropes:

The Mysterious Stranger

"Now, we're even."

The character from the Fallout series that shows up to help to kill an enemy for the player character. He saves Twig from a radroach as thanks for handing him back his hat.

Associated tropes:


Misc. Characters

The Raiders?

"We lied, we're raiders."
  • Bounty Hunter: They think they're raiding but one points out they're actually bounty hunting. This semantic makes it hard to tell what they are, despite what they are doing. Episode 2 reveals they were in fact bounty hunters.
  • Hilarity Ensues: They're entire scene. They go from legitimate threat to bumbling morons in 10 seconds flat. And it's so memorable.
  • Idiot Ball: They're not too smart...
  • Interface Spoiler: Hillariously averted, Twig's VATS just says "Raiders?" when he targets them. That's right, they're so ambiguous, the interface that gives names for everyone is confused.
  • Nice Hat: The one who gets vaporized has one. It survives.
  • Red Shirt: The raider Ben snipes at the beginning of episode one is named in the credits as "Raider Withoutachance."


Eastwood Characters

Mayor Touch Conners

"I found a place to call my own... after I killed the worthless sack of shit who claimed it first."

Actor: Doug Jones

The Mayor of Eastwood.

Associated tropes:

Lawrence "Larry" Synder

"Well, well, well... if it isn't Benji."

Actor: Kevin Brooks

Associated tropes:

  • Butt Monkey: Everything he's done has backfired so badly, it's hard not to feel sorry for and/or laugh at his misery.
  • Fantastic Racism: Ghouls and "smoothskins" again, but Larry seems to be a step higher.

Ben: "I've got friends."
Larry: "You? Friends!?"
Ben: "Yeah. A couple of smoothskins."
Larry: "Not like you to keep pets, Benji."

Raz

"Sir, we have reports of geckos by the brahmin pens."

Actor: Steven Dengler

Caesar's Legion

Leon Swallow

"Your incompetence is disgusting to me."

Actor: David Castro

Associated Tropes

  • Affably Evil: Despite being a Complete Monster who owns slaves and is high ranking in the Legion, Leon is actually fairly nice about it. He doesn't kill his men if they can at least show some responsibility for their actions, has a nice smile and is actually shown as being somewhat forgiving, which is unheard of in the Legion.
    • His entire scene when he talks to Larry is this.

Leon: (Cheerfully) "Hi Larr. My little wayward spy. I suppose you didn't capture Scarlet like you intended.
Larry: "No, Leon. I OBVIOUSLY did not.
Leon: (somewhat sadly) "Mhm. Well, that's a shame. Larry... You know what I do to people who fail me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't do that to you."
Larry: "I know where they are."
Leon: (unconvinced) "Uh-huh."
Larry: "You have to give me a second chance, because I can bring her to you."
Leon: "Well where are they?"
Larry: "South of here. I set up an ambush for her and her friends but-"
Leon: (understandingly) "Yeah, and you screwed it all. I understand. ... Well, I'm not surprised."

  • Badass: Scares the crap out of his men and slaves, is implied to go through with overkill on his objectives, freaks out his scary black guy, and destroyed Eastwood with his fat man, Artemis, from a mile away.
  • Big Bad
  • Creepy Monotone: Leon has this going on despite being emotional with his voice. Really
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy: See his quote about dealing with Eastwood.

Leon: "When hunting foxes, take away the nest. Fox can't go home."

Larry: "Leon is looking for me."
Red: "So? Leon's looking for everybody! Thank god, he thinks I'm dead."

  • The Deadliest Mushroom: To Eastwood. Although this was done to explain why Eastwood's set burned down.
  • The Faceless: Played with, because we seen Leon's face in the cartoon backstory, but when he finally appears on screen, it's hidden in the shadows, implying he might not look the same anymore.
    • As the picture above shows, we finally see him in Episode 6 of Season 1.
  • You Have Failed Me...: It doesn't have the payoff it usually does, but Leon makes it clear he's NOT above crucifying his own men.

Leon: "Larry... You know what I do to people who fail me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't do that to you."

Daniels

"What would you have me do, my lord?"

Actor: Howard McNair

Associated Tropes

Daniels: "Sir, isn't that too much?"

  • What an Idiot!: He got 200 and 2000 mixed up when he put the bounty out on Scar.
  • You Have Failed Me...: He's not killed (yet), but it's made pretty damn clear if he screws up again, he will be crucified.

Leon's Bodyguards (Neil & one unnamed guard)

"Forgive me sir, but we bring news from Nevada."

Actors: Phillip Agresta & Christopher Troy
