== Twig's Group ==

=== Twig ===

[[File:TwigTvTropes_7943.jpg|frame|Ladies, Ladies... What you should really be concerned about... are the guns pointed at your heads right now.]]

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

* [[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.

* [[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. [[Word of God|Zack Frinfrock]] has stated that Twig only survives because he has a 10 in his Luck [[Fun with Acronyms|S.P.E.C.I.A.L.]] stat. His Charisma is apparently high as well, according to a recent panel

* [[Insult Backfire]]: Since he's from Vault 10, he takes any [[You Are Fat]] insults thrown his way as compliments.

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Big Guy]]: Despite being the first name on the roster, Twig fits this role in the [[Five-Man Band]] plus [[The Chick]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Chick]]: Mixed with being [[The Big Guy]].}}

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Nuka Cola, of course!

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A .223 Pistol, aka [[Fallout: New Vegas|That Gun]].

=== Scarlett "Scar" ===

[[File:ScarTvTropes_6010.jpg|frame|"This is the wastes, love is where you find it."]]

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.

* [[Action Girl]]: She may have been a slave, but Scar is good with her Laser Rifle and packs a pretty good punch.

** {{spoiler|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.}}

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Her Tri-Beam Laser Rifle. {{spoiler|Too bad bad Ben shot it.}}

 

=== Ben {{spoiler|Real Name: Benjamin Eldridge}} ===

[[File:BenTvTropes_1214.jpg|frame|"Here's how it's gonna work. You're going to call off your goddamn goons or I blow your head off!"]]

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

* [[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 {{spoiler|Larry's}} head.

* [[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.

** [[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.

* [[McGuffin]]: {{spoiler|The ring around his neck.}}

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Like you didn't have "By Menen!" stuck in your head after the first episode.

 

=== {{spoiler|The Protector}} ===

{{spoiler|'''The Protector:''' ''"Protecting '''YOU!'''" ''}} }}

* {{spoiler|[[Badass]]: He's an NCR ''[[Elite Mook|VETERAN]]'' Ranger!}}

** {{spoiler|[[Badass Longcoat]]}}

 

== Tanner & Co. ==

 

=== Tanner ===

[[File:NukaTanner_6910.jpg|frame|"Did these punks just get the drop on us?"]]

The leader of Tanner & Co.

* [[Oh Crap]]: He's the one who figures out what's up with that Eyebot and Twig's plan.

* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]

* [[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 ===

[[File:RedNukaBreak_1646.jpg|frame|"You're cramping my style!"]]

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

* [[Chaotic Evil]]: She has no problem shooting her teammates when she feels like it. Unarmed traders too.

* [[Commuting on a Bus]]: At the end of episode 5, she and Larry cross paths in a bar in Eastwood. And both have a reason to go after Twig, Scar and Ben now.

* [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|I Just Shot Joey In The Face]]:

* [[Large Ham]]

* {{spoiler|[[Recurring Character]]: She's the only character from the movie besides the trio to reappear in the series.}}

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: "We're back here again? Really, guys?"

=== Joey ===

[[File:NukaJoey_689.jpg|frame|"Oh shit, we did the pop-up thing"]]

Third member of Tanner & Co.

* [[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 ===

* [[The Cameo]]

 

=== Chet ===

[[File:NukaBreakChet_3714.jpg|frame|"Have you ever considered that you're just a terrible courier?"]]

* [[Fallout: New Vegas]]: He's a character from the game. The merchant in Goodsprings.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: He really ran away fast when he saw Ben's face.

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: As a character from the game making an appearance in the show physically, this was bound to happen.

* [[The Cameo]]:

 

 

* [[Narrator]]

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

 

[[File:NukaTrader_8753.jpg|frame|"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.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Mentions [[Fallout 2|New Reno]].

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]:

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Yeah, you should totally make fun of your armed customers.

* [[Nice Hat]]: "It's adjustable."

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}:

 

[[File:GeneralStoreGuy_2916.jpg|frame|"Nuka? No. Just Sunset."]]

[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Owner of the Eastwood General Store.]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Crazy Awesome]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Man Walking]]}}

* [[Expy]]: Of Trader Vic. ''Played by the same guy.''

 

[[File:MysteriousStrangerTvTropes_9635.jpg|frame|[[One-Scene Wonder|"Now, we're even."]] ]]

* [[Badass]]: ''It's the Mysterious Stranger.''

** [[Badass Longcoat]]

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: If his name turns out to be Chekov, he will LITERALLY be this trope.

* [[Nice Hat]]: {{spoiler|Returning it to him gave Twig a free rescue from the stranger.}}

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: He's like this in the game, but it reached [[Memetic Mutation]] levels on [[YouTube]]. Just read the comments in Episode 3 & 6.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Again, ''it's the Mysterious Stranger.'' He is powered by this trope.

 

=== The Raiders? ===

[[File:NukaRaiders_7080.jpg|frame|"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. {{spoiler|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. [[One-Scene Wonder|And it's so memorable.]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: The one who {{spoiler|gets vaporized}} has one. {{spoiler|It survives.}}

* [[Red Shirt]]: The raider Ben snipes at the beginning of episode one is named in the credits as "Raider Withoutachance."

 

=== Mayor Touch Conners ===

[[File:TouchConnors_7936.jpg|frame|"I found a place to call my own... after I killed the worthless sack of shit who claimed it first."]]

The Mayor of Eastwood.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Slavers. Especially Caesar's Legion.

* [[Creepy Awesome]]

=== Lawrence "Larry" Synder ===

[[File:LarryNukaBreak_1590.jpg|frame|"Well, well, well... if it isn't Benji."]]

* [[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.

Larry: "Not like you to keep '''''pets,''''' Benji." }}

* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: His facebook description is "Lucky Larry's Best of the Best!"

=== Raz ===

[[File:RazNukaBreak_5328.jpg|frame|"Sir, we have reports of geckos by the brahmin pens."]]

* [[Number Two]]: Mayor Connor's trusted advisor and head of town security

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: His name is never mentioned in the episode outside the credits. Considering nearly 3 episodes were cut and the 6th was heavily edited [[What Could Have Been|he may have been intended to have a larger role in the series.]] {{spoiler|Too bad that wildfire destroyed Eastwood.}}

** He also was responsible for helping to fund the start up costs of the series.

 

== Caesar's Legion ==

=== Leon Swallow ===

[[File:IAmTheGreatLeon_5579.jpg|frame|"Your incompetence is disgusting to me."]]

* [[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, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|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 {{spoiler|Larry}} is this.

'''Leon''': (understandingly) "Yeah, and you screwed it all. I understand. ... [[Deadpan Snarker|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 {{spoiler|destroyed Eastwood with his fat man, Artemis, from a mile away.}}

* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Leon has this going on despite being emotional with his voice. ''[[Crazy Awesome|Really]]''

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: See his quote about dealing with {{spoiler|Eastwood}}.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: See [[Affably Evil]] above.

* [[Expy]]: Of Legate Lanius

** He and his men don't wear Legion armor either. It might because they are over the border in California, but they were dressed like this in Arizona. But that can easily be handwaved as them being on the frontlines and spying.

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: He knows it, [[Pragmatic Villainy|but they are still useful for him.]] In a funny twist, [[Genre Savvy|the idiots know their idiots too.]]

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

* {{spoiler|[[The Deadliest Mushroom]]: To Eastwood. [[Real Life Writes the Plot|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.

 

=== Daniels ===

[[File:Daniels_3024.jpg|frame|"What would you have me do, my lord?"]]

* [[The Dragon]]

* [[Scary Black Man]]

* [[What an Idiot!]]: He got 200 and ''2000'' mixed up when he put the bounty out on Scar.

 

=== Leon's Bodyguards (Neil & one unnamed guard) ===

[[File:LeonsMinions_5309.jpg|frame|"Forgive me sir, but we bring news from Nevada."]]

* [[Bishonen]]: Neil would be this if he wasn't missing that eye. Of course, [[Fetish Fuel|that doesn't matter to some people.]] His unnamed companion is also one.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: The bodyguards along with Leon were seen in Episode 2 in a cartoon slideshow, in traditional [[Fallout]] style of course.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]
