Micky (Fallout 3)

Micky is a water beggar outside Megaton in Fallout 3.

Background
A mixture of lack of water, and fear following an attack by raider gang holed up in the Springvale elementary school has negatively effected Micky's mental health. Micky has since begun begging for water outside of Megaton. Specifically purified water, as he is so sickly that he cannot drink irradiated water any more without vomiting. Megaton, however, only gives water to its residents, or those that can pay for it.

Micky is hopeful that passing travelers will be able to spare water for him, as he is Capless. Though he is jaded by his experiences, he will be very grateful for any help given.

Should he survive long enough, he will encounter Rosa Meitner two weeks after the activation of Project Purity. She will give him some of her water; this water, however, will be the death of him. Unbeknownst to her, this water was "blessed" by Atom's fire, nuclear radiation, by the Apostles of the Eternal Light. The entire encounter is witnessed by the Lone Wanderer.

Quests

 * Water Beggars: The Lone Wanderer may give Micky purified water (and Aqua Pura, during Broken Steel) for a small amount of good Karma.
 * Holy Water: During the quest, Micky will respawn with the name "water beggar" if he has died previously. He will be given holy water by Rosa, which will kill him.

Effects of player's actions

 * Micky will die if given Aqua Pura, infected with FEV or not. If you refuse to give him water (in conversation), he will die after a while.
 * If Megaton is destroyed, Micky disappears from the game.

Appearances
Micky appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
In the Polish version of Fallout 3, his name is Michael Masters (the same name as the follower of Roy Phillips).

Bugs
The player character may walk up to Megaton to find Micky's skin has not be rendered. This allows one to see only Micky's eyes floating and then the back of his hair. When starting dialogue with Micky, the player character's view darts off to the right.
