Lumpy (Gecko)

John, nicknamed by the ghouls as Lumpy, is Skeeter's assistant and an inhabitant of Gecko in 2241.

Background
Lumpy is a very thin, saggy-eyed, and unhappy-looking human. His nickname came from his own mistreatment at the hands of other humans. Lumpy has a natural resistance to radiation, a mutation that made him unfit for Vault City and shunned, moving to Gecko as a result.

John left Vault City, seeking to die in the wastes, considering it a better alternative than continued residence in the city. However, a Broken Hills caravan heading to Gecko picked him up before he perished. He found a new family among the ghouls, forming the closest bond with Skeeter. John picked up a job as a brahmin caretaker, watching them and making sure nothing ill happens to the herd. He developed insight into brahmin as a result.

Among the ghouls he is often referred to as Lumpy. The nickname stuck when the ghouls learned of John's mistreatment at the hands of fellow humans. It struck them as ironic that he's even more lumpy than they are.

Appearances
Lumpy appears only in Fallout 2.
