Westside Story - A New Vegas Noir (Fallout: New Vegas quest mod; round 1)
Matt Bartlett for Odell Daugherty
Odell Daugherty is a former travelling busker and son of a prolific conman. A member of the 'stagehands' - the foot soldiers of the 'Tampico crew' - he spends most of his time playing his guitar and doing whatever odd jobs need doing; although one might figure him for a harmless, good-natured hippie who doesn't contribute much, he does in fact serve the vital function of being the gang's social barometer; as the one person everyone feels safe talking to, he'll know if any disgruntled members have notions of pulling moves against the leadership well before they do.
NOTE: Optionally, his voice could have a bit of a rasp or scratchiness to it, owing to years of shredding his vocal chords on street corners.
Importance: side character.
Line count: ~100.
- male adult
- raspy
- north american
Happy to see your visit to the big lady hasn’t turned you all {ay-SEFF-uh-luhss)acephalous. Given how things aren't quite so life-or-death this time: I’m Odell Daugherty. Performer, stagehand, man of the world.
People figure I’m some manner of head honcho, but I never got voted in or nothing - just got seniority on most and don’t do chems, which frees up a lotta room in my schedule.
{Mourning the 'good old days'}Sure we did - but we had a damn cause, panache, community! Whatever chickenfeed income we made stealing and killing was in service of somethin’ beautiful.
