For some reason I can see Sera as the founder and using advanced medical tech to stay both alive or young? Also what happens if they possibly find worthy individuals among the unworthy?
Yeah, these asks about Sera being pre-war are definitely giving me ideas for her now.
Also, Zestial was also someone powerful before the War, and adopted name that kind of sounds biblical after becoming a ghoul, so now I'm thinking there may be an opportunity to have at least some loose ties between them...
The Army of the Righteous does occasionally "take in" Wastelanders that have traits they want. Per the Enclave's little genocide virus, most surface-dwellers have at least minor mutations in their genetic make-up, but there are individuals who somehow still match the baseline of "pure" humans. Taking them into their ranks is a way to keep the gene pool from getting stale, but usually involves a lot of coercion and indoctrination to get new "recruits" to fall in line.
They also have an interest in the opposite - humans who have abnormal/extreme mutations are sometimes taken alive for the Army's researchers to study.

You know based on the show you could have it so that Lucifer, Lilith and Adams group like say sera were from before the Great War but froze themselves like well you saw the show. But Lucifer and Lilith did it separately or split off when they disagreed with their methods. Hell could even say she was pregnant with Charlie before they went on ice, Angel could make jokes Charlie’s 2 hundred years old and a cradle robber. Would add more to lucifers depression as he’s not only in a world he doesn’t recognise but lost the woman he loved. And Lilith along with stopping Adam/Sera would be trying to bring back the better parts of the old world?
In this particular AU, Lucifer and Lilith were on the run from a current-day faction before Charlie was born.
But that bit about Sera being from the pre-war era is giving me ideas...

I saw you say Adam uses Tesla armour, does that mean they’re connected to or even part of the Enclave?
The Army of the Righteous is a spin-off of the Enclave, yeah. Their founder believed the Enclave was putting Country above God, and took a big chunk of resources to go off and change that.
They want to recreate Paradise from the ashes of the old world, so they have divisions devoted to scientific research to eventually repopulate "pure" humans along with plants and animals. They frequently raid and purge sections of the Wasteland to destroy any attempts to build civilization by the locals, and slay the unworthy.
So they have a lot of similar beliefs, technology, and goals to the Enclave, just with a Hazbin religious spin.

The magic in Fallout is pretty low-key, and works better implied than confirmed. There could be mundane explanations for Alastor's weirdness, but there could also be some spooky stuff going on related to him regularly slaughtering folks.
Adam has the power of rock tesla power armor, combat implants, and an electrified axe, which honestly is much more effective than any in-universe magic could be.
Your Vault 666 AU is incredible. So glad that I stumbled onto it while browsing. Maybe to integrate further with the Fallout canon, you could have Alastor being related to the Blackhall family, who were cultists devoted to an Eldritch entity, and who also owned Dunwich Borers as a front and an industrial scale human sacrifice machine through extremely unsafe working conditions. Would work to explain how otherworldly he is, since Fallout has a lot of paranormal and supernatural shit going on in the background.
<3 <3 <3
LMAO get out of my head!
Alastor is absolutely the inexplicable supernatural element in this setting. Nothing big or obviously magical happens around him, but nobody can figure out how he seems to know everything going on, he kind of pops up out of nowhere and in places you swear he shouldn't have been able to travel to so fast, and people claim they see shadows move unnaturally out of the corners of their eyes when he's around.
(His serial killings have a ritualistic aspect to them, and he's got a creepy mysterious shrine in a locked room of his radio station, with a dagger like Kremvh' Tooth on display. It's not named what he worships, but it's a mix between a post-war folk religion derived from Voodoo and the Lovecraftian beings canon to Fallout.)
Coincidentally, Husk will derisively call him swampfolk, given he originally was raised in an insular almost tribal culture of the bayous around Nola before making his way into the Wasteland (I had totally forgot there was a legit Swampfolk faction in the Fallout 3 DLC).

Hey here’s an idea you should list the hotel crews special and their tagged skills?
I actually am working on character sheets for the crew, including Perks and weapon preferences. I just have to keep going back and trying to balance them instead of giving into the temptation to throw every applicable skill and perk in there.

Mechanist who?
Sir Pentious has the best swarms of killer robots in the Wastelands.
I started trying to draw combat/action poses for everyone, but Pentious’ came out the best so far so I actually finished and threw on colors. Guess it’ll have to make up for how much I’ve neglected him so far.

Still haven't come up with a callsign for Alastor's station, so I'm just going with Vault 666 Radio for now.

Also whose your favourite fallout faction?
Hmmm... I'm always kind of a weenie who can't be mean to pixels so usually the generic Good Guys(tm) like the Followers of the Apocalypse or the Minutemen, but I don't try too hard to join factions. I kind of like just being a funky little weirdo sticking my grimy vaultie hands into everything.
It's usually a matter of which factions I hate more that determine my gameplay (NCR gets my help so we can kill the Legion, etc.). I'm a ghoul lover and not big on military culture, so I never really get friendly with the Brotherhood of Steel more than absolutely necessary for the story.

When you say arranged marriage is it simply heterosexual or anyone whose a good fit cause I could see them planning to marry Vaggie and lute, like they use ivf or artificial impregnation to get them both knocked up to get two new soldiers at once. Also yeah I hated the institute. They along with other factions kind of ruined fallout 4. The minutemen never actually got stronger or more organised, the railroad never grew or changed in their goals to make them a legitimate option to take over the commonwealth, the brotherhood were ruined into mini fascists and the institute were nothing more than a bunch of paper tigers that crumpled when facing a real organised threat. Honestly they all could’ve been great, also maybe if they gave you to the to automate settlement building would’ve made things easier. And yeah new vegas style remnants for the brotherhood here fits.
Sorry this took so long.
In general, I think for the Army of the Righteous just arranging cis heterosexual marriages and having them make kids the organic way is the least resource-intensive way for their weirdo eugenics program to work.
But this is a world where cloning and genetic splicing is possible, so if there was some amazing combination that came up where they'd have to use science to make the gametes work, they would do it. So a Lute/Vaggie fankid could be possible.
Yeah, I get where they were coming from, making each faction have their flaws, but the writing was pretty clumsy in 4. I think they tried to streamline things to fit in new gameplay stuff too much, and adding in the radial quests was good for exploration but got annoying pretty quick (RIP Preston you didn't deserve the hate fans give you for being an unfortunate quest giver).

I love your Hazbin/Fallout AU! The designs are so creative and I love all of the possibilities that the world creates! (Ghoul Rosie is top tier)
Thank you! <3
The worlds combine really well, I feel, along with characters and motivations. There's a despair and sense of stagnation in the world, but enough hope for someone like Charlie to try and make the world a better place.
Ghoul Rosie is honestly one of my favorites. Her "pearl" necklace is human teeth. Cannibal Town may be a quasi-cult built around eating people and her vague memories of life in the suburbs before the bombs fell, but they're genuinely probably the nicest people in the Wasteland. (As long as you aren't food.)

So what causes a ghoul to go "Feral" I heard that the fallout show said not having enough radaway, I heard that it's a psycoalagic thing form being isolated(would expalin why "sane" glowing ones are so rare), and just an age thing, like alzheimer(but that could lead to a different sorts of symptomes)
I think in the show it's some new drug they made up, not simply RadAway, at least that's the impression I got.
In the games and stuff it's kind of a mystery, same as to why some people become ghouls in the first place when most people just die from radiation poisoning. Because it seems a lot of folks go feral immediately, and some ghouls are perfectly fine after centuries.
The headcanons I follow (which I guess informs Vault 666 canon) is that it's some combination of factors including radiation/brain damage, mental health, and a genetic factor. It progresses like a form of dementia in ghouls that don't go feral immediately, which is I guess like what the show was going for. A decline in cognition and fine motor skills until the ghoul loses their sense of self. It could be a few days, or it could be years. I also think that the more traumatic the ghoulification or the higher/faster dosage of radiation that caused it increases the likelihood of going feral.
With the medicine introduced in the show, my current headcanon is that it's to treat symptoms when they start up, not that every ghoul needs the treatments to keep from going feral. I'd have to re-watch Roger's scene, but I think he mentions like "28 years since [he] started showing" but also talks about pre-war stuff with The Ghoul. So he was functioning normally for a long time but started to decline, which was treated with the new meds/chems. As time goes on more and more would be needed to stay stable, which is the point we meet him at. Not every ghoul has a slow enough onset of symptoms before becoming feral to be able seek out the treatment.

ok what do you think of the fallout tv now that you’ve likely finished it?
I liked it. I kind of wish they staggered the episode releases to draw out the interest more, especially given how long each episode is, but that's not really a problem with the show.
I think they did a great job capturing the feel of the Fallout universe, and I definitely latched on to some new bits of world building they introduced in the show. I liked all of the main characters, and wish we got more time with the secondary ones.

Vault 666 quick sketches from this weekend combined, featuring:
“Oops I made them a ghoul so now they’re my favorite character”
I may try coloring in the two bigger sketches later.
Husk trivia:
He did have a family before he got ghoulified and kicked out of New Vegas; he probably has grandkids kicking around that are Charlie’s age, but he’s never met them
(the alcoholic jackassery far predated the ghoulification, going ghoul just meant it was more expensive to get drunk and he couldn’t live in a “normal” city any more; he was disowned/estranged before he turned)
He’s prone to growling/hissing/rumbling and other more “feral” vocalizations when distracted or startled
He gets really embarrassed and self-conscious if he notices he’s doing it or someone points it out  
Alastor sometimes refers to him as his pet cat mockingly because of the vocalizations and his prickly/independent attitude (the others picked up on the cute nicknames, but don’t realize how insulting it really is to Husk when they use them) 
Charlie is so fucking lucky that Al loaned her probably the only guy in their corner of the Wasteland that has actual experience working a hotel
In this AU he not only bartends, but helps manage their books, advise the girls on supplies and repair priorities, and is basically the on-site facilities manager since Alastor spends more time at the radio station
He’s done a bit of everything back in New Vegas, from pickpocketing as a kid, to performing, to bartending, to management
He basically cornered the market on organized gambling in the Wasteland during his stint as Overlord - everything from running numbers to full-on casinos had to go through him
His SPECIAL stats and skills would probably be the most balanced of the cast, a good jack-of-all-trades type of character
His weapons of choice are throwing knives, a .357 magnum revolver, and Molotov Cocktails - he prefers mid-range fighting
He genuinely thought Alastor was a friend for a little while when they were both Overlords, until Al completely fucked him over to get the upper hand, which makes his servitude that much more humiliating

On episode 7 of the Fallout show and I'm laughing too hard to draw; the comically booby-trapped radio tower is literally something I wrote for Vault 666 Alastor.

When your work husband is literally toxic but you still want cuddles. Vault 666 quick comic playing off a meme I had almost finished before my life got fucked Saturday. Hopefully with the Fallout show now airing I'll find some drive to get back in the saddle.
