Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/America

America (Born ~2260, age 21) is a member of the Crusaders, and possible companion found at the RobCo Tower.

Background
America was born with a rare condition called congenital analgesia (inability to feel physical pain). Her parents tried to keep her condition a secret. She raised in the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel, living in Bunker Zeta with her parents until her early teens. She knew an elderly lady named Lylee who'd give her sweet rolls.

When she was 15, she was doing scribe work when she accidentally dropped an engine block on her hand and didn't yelp. Other people around her were disturbed. America was considered a mutant by the Brotherhood for her condition. She was kicked out of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel and abandoned by her parents on a task to retrieve a satellite; although she cried for her mother, she wouldn't turn around to look at her.

After being abandoned, America made her way across the Dustbowl before being found by Mollie Callaghan and subsequently joined the Crusaders of Steel. America felt it was almost like a sign, finding another Asian girl with red hair.

During her time with the Crusaders, America became a Sopher but later quit the role.

Other Interactions

 * The player is advised not to give America "inappropriate" clothing, such as prostitute outfits. Doing so will give her a bad reaction, calling it "gross".

Behind the scenes

 * Nazenthedark assisted with America's initial concept, name, lack of pain, and ethnicity, while Odinsword did everything else, including her potential enslavement.
 * In Nazenthedark's original versions, America would be raised by a fanatical Brotherhood of Steel splinter cult, being desperate to feel anything, to the point of engaging in self-harm. However, these versions were dissuaded by Tgspy on account of being "too edgy."
