Mod:Washington's Malevolence/Tank

Travis "Tank" Sivart is the melee weapons specialist of the New Runners in 2277.

Background
Tank was born in 2239, in the vicinity of what used to be Alton, Illinois. Sometime around 2267, he left his former home to forge out a path through life on his own.

In July 2267, Tank was on a scavenging run near the old corn fields, rooting through the ruins of an old house, when he heard blood-curdling shrieking coming from the upper level. He frantically raced up the stairs to find a little girl cornered by a Super Mutant, with a bloodied body laying next to her. Tank brandished a knife, and quickly jumped onto the mutant and yelled at the little girl to leave the house immediately. As the girl was paralyzed with fear, she was unable to do more than watch the current situation with a shocked stare. Tank repeatedly jammed the knife into the mutant's head, killing it, then grabbed the girl and ran out of the house.

Tank arrived back at his hideout with the girl, who eventually told him who she was; she was named Clarissa, and the other girl in the room was her twin sister, Claudia.

Over the next five years, Tank trained Clarissa on everything he knew about fighting, and she eventually became known as Chains.

Tank and Chains eventually left Alton to head to the Capital Wasteland, where they met Samuel Dacomb in the old Super-Duper Mart near Megaton. After about 10 minutes of trying to convince them that he shouldn't be thrown into the old river, they finally joined up with him and established their new hideout as the New Runners.

Inventory
Tank wears a standard set of leather armor. He carries a Super Sledge he calls "Lil Sis", the sledgehammer he pulled off the body of the mutant he killed, then used to get Chains out of the house after other mutants had entered behind him.

Trivia

 * Tank's last name is his first name spelled backwards; it is also a play on the SI unit of ionizing radiation dose measurements, "sievert".
 * Prior to version 2.0, Tank wore power armor. In an effort to give Tank a more believable set of armor, this was changed.
 * Despite his location of birth, no references to Tank are made in the Fallout 3 mod, Alton, IL. This is due to the fact that Washington's Malevolence started production two months after Alton, IL 's final update. However, a reference was added to the Tale of Two Wastelands version via a note and a unique weapon in Alton's trailer park.
