BEST. THREAD. EVER.
I have to try this. Although I disagree with the addiction to chems part, but I don't want to start an argument on how he died. :wink_smile:
Hey, in my version, he
didn't die.

(And he still doesn't very much, given that I keep him pretty irradiated with the Rad Child perk, the Phoenix Monocyte Breeder, and Solar Powered, plus two ranks of Toughness and the Subdermal Implant!)
The chem part was, for me, mostly inspired by this tidbit on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley#Military_service_and_mother.27s_death_.281958.E2.80.9360.29:
"Introduced to amphetamines by a sergeant while on maneuvers, he became 'practically evangelical about their benefits'—not only for energy, but for 'strength' and weight loss, as well—and many of his friends in the outfit joined him in indulging."Didn't really put enough points into Medicine to get Chem-related perks, though...
Thanks also to the earlier poster with the tip about face creation. I may try that on my next character!
