Ruby (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel)



Ruby is a woman living in Carbon in

Background
Ruby was born in Carbon and has lived there for all her life. When she was a little girl, people around her told stories of mutants to scare kids, and she grew up believing they were not real.

Ruby is the town prostitute and is a very good source of information. Ruby is kind and perhaps has a heart of gold. Dressed in clothes that look like they might have been torn off her on several occasions, Ruby views her role like any dedicated professional modern working woman, and she just also happens to really like her job a lot as well.

She is the first to greet the Initiate on arrival. Later, she asks the Initiate to help her find her cat. The cat can be found dead, having been killed by monsters in the Carbon Crater. Bringing his corpse back to Ruby will grant caps and XP. She is deeply saddened, but grateful to have closure.

During the assault on Carbon, Ruby hides in the warehouse with the rest of the survivors. Her locket which once belonged to her grandmother is stolen by raiders attacking the town. Ruby asks the Initiate to retrieve it during their attack on the raiders' base, the Mill. She claims to know Harold who traveled through the town some time ago; this is verified by Harold who mentions he accidentally scared her because his meat slid off his bone. Once peace is restored to the town, Ruby gives the Initiate a farewell before they head for Los.

Other interactions

 * If the player attempts to solicit Ruby after learning of her stolen necklace, Ruby will be furious. If the player returns the stolen item, their reward will be different than if they had not solicited her while upset.
 * Ruby is available for sex for 10 caps. Depending on the Initiate's gender and race, she will give a different speech after paying for her services:
 * If slept with as Cyrus, Rhombus or the Vault Dweller, she says, "Alright, big boy! Here we go..." and "You should put a leash on that thing before it hurts someone!"
 * If slept with as Nadia or Patty, she says, "Women know what women want, sugar. Come here, and I'll show you." and "What did I tell you? Another satisfied customer."
 * If slept with as Cain, she says, "Well, sure... I guess so... Hey, what are you doing?" and "Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick..."

Behind the Scenes

 * An official developer diary for Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel was written as being from Ruby.
