Taken October 9th, 2296

Taken by an unknown person on January 12th, 2296 during the UCR-Brotherhood War.

Some art set around the time of New Vegas featuring my mercenary OC Wu-Yi (formerly known as Yicheng) posing next to a poster of his pre-war self.

A condensed summary of his character:

wu-yi (formerly known as "yicheng") is the current body guard/assistant manager of the good doctor (another ghoul oc of mine), with a morally dubious history of mercenary work, he was a pop idol from guangzhou prior to the beginning of the great war and comes from a fabulously wealthy old money entertainment family spanning from the tang dynasty, he was a child star prior to his career in singing likewise, living within a gilded cage of his father's design

he's also cybernetically enhanced, the transformation happening after he was drafted (in which he was EXTREMELY unprepared for) and "killed" in anchorage, only to become a subject of a (thankfully successful and highly risky) experiment which fitted him with super-strength and immortality, lead by his father in a secret project to ensure his family would rise above all else after the end, which failed - because his son became trapped on the west coast on the morning of the great war

he is a highly impulsive weirdo, constantly testing the limits of his immortality by getting into risky scenarios. very much an asshole (except when he's not) to an abrasive extent and is very, very rude to people he isn't friends with.

I have a friend from the Amino chat that had an OC, which basically was their mantle and what everyone knew them as. Their OC was Vault Boy, but he was very small and childlike, for some reason that I think was a joke from others. Then, they switched up to Revenant from Apex, so I decided to mix them both together to create this thing. My idea was that RobCo. wanted to get in on that personal assistant money that General Atomics was getting with the Mr Handy and Miss Nanny units, but the company was currently in the bed with the US military, they ended up developing this unit, dubbed the RV. Aunt. However, the project was heavily rushed and they were forced to use some of that military code to finish the project. Due to its staggering appearance, the popularity of the Mr. Handy bots, and some cases where the units that were sold had some “militaristic” attitudes toward the general public, to put it lightly, this project was quickly recalled and abandoned. 200 years later, after the war, a vault dweller scientist in the East would leave his vault as those on the inside dubbed his experiments “unnatural”. So, he went into the wasteland to pursue his scientific dreams unchallenged. Eventually, he stumbled upon an old RobCo. facility and found a scrapped RV. Aunt unit. He got the thing back up to par and attached a new weapon as he was not particular well at fighting. Things went well for awhile and the vault scientist began studying certain types of mutated fauna and wildlife and decided to commit a sin against nature itself and try and play God. With mixtures of mutated DNA, as well as his own, he created a homunculus and suspended the thing in brain gel, the same that can be found in those old Robobrains. In its container, the scientist would read to it children books he found and recall memories of his time in the vault. The homunculus eventually took shape and, with the brain gel, the bedtime stories, and the stories of vault propaganda in its development, conditioned the creatures brain into loving Vault Tec unconditionally and eventually thinking it was Vault Boy, despite never having seen a vault. The scientist, when the creature was good enough, took to surgery and made the thing as close to VB as possible, as per its odd requests. Some time later, the scientists lab would be overrun by super mutants and the scientist was killed and all of his research burned. The only things that survived were RV. Aunt and the creature that is now formally known as Vault Boy. The robot took to care for the creature as was its designated code to protect it at all costs. It took a portable backpack container for VB to sit in and the two went off to wander the wastes in search of a new home. That was my idea anyway, it doesn’t have to be what actually happened, but I believe it is important to explain my thought process when I was drawing this.

3 hours of work

Figured I’d post. </3
