Ok so we know you love Benny (rightfully so, I mean look at the man) but do you have any thoughts on the other Chairmen? Swank and Tommy specifically?

I have so many thoughts on the Vegas families but even more on the Chairmen just because of how unique their position is.

Like to start off, I have mentioned and still fully believe the Chairmen are the most paranoid and distrusting of all of the Vegas families. You can get sucked into many personal dramas and plights when it comes to the other Vegas Families; Quest-lines that get you super involved with their inner workings and pasts, ergo, quest-lines like Beyond the Beef and How Little We Know. Other than the very little side quest we get from Tommy, where you don’t even out in a good word for the Aces Theater for the talent recruits, your very boxed out with the Chairmen.

While the other families are more curious and intrigued by the NCR and Legion tensions rising, House being killed and other things, the Chairmen are always paranoid, concerned and negative. They mention wanting to leave like in the old days but can’t drop the act. They don’t mention anything that isn’t in a way that relates back to them and it tells how little they wish to or do interact with those outside the family. Swank mentions how he doesn’t trust the other families and the sentiments are shared with Tommy who discourages you from seeing the other sights. They are probably not purposely isolating themselves but they keep to their own. I only think this is extrapolated by House favoring Benny as a successor and possibly more restrictions on them. They were the first family and likely the prototype of whatever is detailed in their contracts. House was not as lenient as he is now, taking Swank referring to House’s rules into account.

Specifically about Tommy and Swank is interesting. Tommy feels like he’s older to me, not like more mature but he’s been around to see how far the Boot-Riders changed into the Chairmen. He’s not like an old guy either but older than Swank and Benny. I like to think he’s a middle ground to Swank and Benny, where Benny is the idealist, Swank is the nihilist and he’s there realist. You gotta real with people when you work in entertainment. He has a keen eye and can tell when things aren’t right but doesn’t jump out of his lane, not without provocation that is. In relation to Benny, I think Tommy’s like a snide older brother type guy. He rips on Benny cause the guy is so obsessed with not being seen as a tribal anymore but Tommy of all people can see when someone is playing too much into a bit. Benny keeps him close cause he keeps him real.

Swank is described in universe by House as being dependable but unimaginative. I don’t think that’s fully the case but he isn’t the person to push things in my eyes either. He has complaints but he does what he’s asked of and is loyal. More of a “Are you sure” Man than a “Yes” Man. I don’t think he sees the best in the people around him but prefers to see them as static. I take this with how hard it is to convince him that Benny is a traitor and how he seems shocked you are so ready to kill him. Things run a certain why and it’s why he likes that. It’s why he’s so good a managing The Tops. He wants things to run smooth and easy and everyone to be having a time. He’s the type to struggle with a shift in change at first but then forget why when the new song and dance start to come naturally. He plays the part just like Benny but also reminds him of what they came from. He’s his most trusted advisor and friend keeps him in focus.

This is all personal opinion and just a quick run down of it. But I hope I answered at least some of what you asked:p

#like the chairmen are so odd to me cause other than Benny they have no shit going on #like of all the asses in the game Benny isn’t even close to top on a minor scale outside what he did to the courier #like their biggest issue is The Aces needing more acts like why are they the only group that collectively just wants to run the casino #but yeah the chairmen had to change themselves the most when it came to functionality like the WGS is still food based and the Omertas can #still be blood thirsty and vile but they are like squeaky clean Vegas fun #drinking and booze but none of the other main features of their tribal culture no fighting no displays or honor having to be in the same #place constantly like it’s understandable why they struggle as they specifically complain about the whole lifestyle while the other famalie #just hate one aspect #Tommy to me keeps Benny real to himself while Swank keeps him real to others #cause you can’t tell me swank don’t mean something to him when he just listens when he’s told to go to his room #just I wish we got a chairmen quest outside of Bennys whole thing cause they get pushed to the center just to be out of focus #fallout #fallout new vegas #swank fnv #tommy fnv #tommy torini #the chairmen fnv #the chairman #benny gecko #ask #anon

i love that if you ask Tommy what he thinks of Benny his answer basically boils down to ‘he’s shady as hell and doesn’t have a musical bone in his body but he’s an alright dude’ and then gossips about him if you pass a speech check.

#And he’s RIGHT #like king that’s your boss/chief/friend(?) #I trust that assessment #Nobody’s doing it like him #Tommy torini #Benny gecko #That is assuming I’m not misremembering #it’s been a minute since I’ve talked to Tommy #Fnv #fallout new vegas

my not so new fallout ocs!!! yuppieee

the girl's name is june, she's a radio operator and sort of an apprentice to ronald curtis. she's very cheerful and kind, but does her job very well. june never actually been to an actual active warzone, she joined maccaran just a year before the second battle for hoover dam and in this short time made a name for herself as an excellent technicial and an amazing person who can always raise the spirits of men, even in the darkest of times :)

thomas, on the other hand, is a wreck. he joined the ncr at the age of 17 and been tirelessly serving the cause ever since. he's an amazing commander, great soldier and a wonderful father. all in all, after openly criticising general lee's war tactics, the bitter springs and the boulder city bombing (where he lost his daughter) major williams was gently displaced, honorably discharged and put in a "military advisor" position with the worst wage possible. it didn't help the fact that rumors starting to spead about thomas' little brother being a high rank legionary so yeah! also no healthcare, the prosthetics were made by his sister, a follower of the apocalypse. he resides in maccaran as of now, with no money to afford himself living quarters, being the black sheep and burden to most people in camp. except his old friend james hsu and an impressionable young woman june slivovitz.

tune in for some wacky new vegas adventures with a traumatised old guy and a silly hyperactive girl. im here all week

There is no implication that the boot riders had a second in command situation set up before becoming The Chairmen so that means that Benny just got his two besties to be The Tops second heads and I think that’s cool.

#he was like Tommy your incharge of the groove and Swank ur incharge of the vibes #his two besties that he may have been in a weird polycule with cause why them like what did they do to earn it as his second in commands #I can’t wait to finish this game and alls its dlc so I can write a fic full of all my hc #fallout #fallout new vegas #benny gecko #benny fnv #swank fnv #tommy torini #Tommy fnv #the chairman

Seven is a lucky number - 2/5

(Ramblings under the cut.)

Unlike in my doodle comics I decided to have Mr. House have only one expression, the one he has in-game. Let's see if it works! Of course I can "cheat" a bit, for example I can emphasize some part of the expression or I can obscure parts of it to make it appear to be different expression, etc.

This chunk of the story is based on these lines by Benny:

Said we'd been selected. Vegas needed us to defend it. In exchange, we'd get cushy digs, full stomachs, medical treatment.

Everything a nomad never gets, in other words. Most of the tribe thought we should say no. I thought it was the best idea ever.

Line about House taking "only" half of the profits is inspired by a street vendor on the Strip. This is what she says:

To vend anything here on the Strip, you got to register with one of those police robots and sign a franchisee agreement.

At the end of each day, you keep half of what you made. The rest, you hand over to those bots - and they know if you're cheating.

Firstly, I did it because it amused me. Secondly, I think it shows that at this point Benny is very naive about business dealings. If I ever make a sequel to this comic at some point Benny will probably complain about how unfair this deal actually was.

Btw, most background Boot Riders are truly just random designs but some are characters from other stories. For example:

Dutch van der Linde from Red Dead Redemption.

Hlaalu Helseth from The Elder Scrolls series.

It's fun to do things like this! Mostly for myself but also for keen-eyed viewers. Keep your eyes peeled for more in coming pages!
