Finally doing a cowboy, melee, and energy weapon playthrough. All seperate characters.

I'm playing my main character so it (usually) turns out to be somewhat of a reflection of myself. He is a person who wishes to conquer but through peace and for the greater good. I chose Good Natured and Wild Wasteland as my traits. The Character his high skills in Repair, Lockpick, Speech, Barter, Medicine, with Guns and Energy Weapons at 75 because, all though I like to use peace, I also like to kill irradiated critters. The "canon" ending for my character (I'm currently doing DLC) is siding with the Yes Man because I think I can effectively govern Vegas, striking pacts with the BoS and the NCR.

I'm also working on a cowboy that learned a thing or two about energy weapons after being trapped on Mothership Zeta.

All of my characters in a game where i can make them are female characters as they are all some reincarnation of Tarna or Aeon Flux, spiritually. So as this is no exception character number 5 is still undecided the other 4 were specific purpose as in the side she was going to take NCR, House, Legion, or herself.

Character number 5 is Tristessa from the beat novel not the Smashing Pumpkins song (which is incedentally what Billy is referencing). I have a few mods that add some clothing like Alice Armors, nothing over powered. I very rarely use armor of any type anyway so most of my characters are just in street clothes unless the game puts her in something specific like the dead money jump suit. I use a few modded weapons again nothing OP just stuff that looks different or in the particular caliber i want like .357 noname revolver or .44 deagle etc. Every character gets 2 round types and can only use weapons that fire that particular caliber of ammo, and i can only pick up weapons that i can use to repair the weapons i am using. The most difficult run was my 9mm and 5.56 run as these rounds while common lack the stopping power of the larger calibers. Dropping a deathclaw with 5.56 is an ass puckering experience let me tell you and requires alot of pre planning. Baseing the character's weapons on a specific round often dictates the areas i have to go to get the unique weapons associated with the caliber, like the All American or the Marksman as one is 5.56 and the other is 5mm. Another mod i use is some texture mods (nvde) and another of my favorites is made by a fella named Joshz (animated pro****** mod) so all of my chicks "work" as necessary, and that is quite often as i self impose limitations. For example i can pick up only what i can use to craft ammo or health items which means i vendor very little. I will make a bunch of steaks and then vendor the excess for caps but that is the only way i can really vendor items. I can pick up stuff to make doctor's bags or i can buy them from a vendor but i can not pick up a completed doctors bag, same deal with weapons repair kits, stim packs, so as my crafting skills improve later in the game it becomes a bit easier but in the very beginning she is "on her knees" quite a bit. I have not decided yet which faction Tristessa will support as she is character number 5 i am playing this character as it goes so i have no idea until the time for choosing has arrived what her path is. In the mean time Tristessa my gun slinging, cowboy perked, La Chez Femme old west "working girl" is on the job whether the job requires her to be vertical or horizontal.

Also as a fun fact on the side:

I've been naming all of my characters after Indians because I had just finished a termpaper on the Sioux the day I got NV

Gone through
Crazy Horse
Red Cloud
Black Hawk
Sitting Bull

and now working on Powhatan (the badass Intelligent EW scientist)

Working on my legion character at the moment. Names Nero, focuses on melee, survival and sneak. Also plan on making an energy weapon character, explosives, unarmed, a cowboy and a heavy weapons character. Should be fun

My current character is a jack of all trades; just for laughs I'm doing my best to max him out as much as possible using SPECIAL, books, etc. I should have stopped laying him a while back (he was supposed to be my DLC character) but now I'm hooked.

My next character, I'm going for the silly. He'll be a Captain Future character who wears the Space Suit and Space Helmet (have you seen the DT on that thing?) and specializes in Energy Weapons, Explosives, Science, Speech, Survival and Repair. And, of course, ED-E.
Should be fun.

I'm doing a Legion character right now. A pragmatist, she believes the ends justify the means and that what the Legion is doing will be good for the people of the Mojave whether they know it or not.

Name: Servilia (after one of Servilia Caepionis, Julius Caesar's lover and Brutus's mother.)
Main skills: unarmed, small guns, speech
Companion: none
Highest S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skill: intelligence

I am doing a Walker Texas Ranger character build now

Right now... An ex-paladin from the Brotherhood of Steel who left once the lock down was in place.
In order to seek revenge against the NCR for Helios One, He joins the Legion in hopes of killing as many NCR soldiers as he can.
Name: Marcus (new name once joined the Legion)
Companions: Veronica, Rex/ Ed-E
Weapons: AER-14, Holorifle, Power Fist, C4, Plasma grenades, etc...
Highest Skills: Energy, Unarmed, Explosives, Speech, Science, & Repair.
Highest S.P.E.C.I.A.L: Agility/ Intelligence
Factions "Okay" with: Legion, FoA, Great Khans, and The Kings.
Hated Factions: NCR, Boomers ("No one shoots Howitzers at me!" >:( ")
Purpose: He wants all the NCR dead, but secretly he wants to go back to the BoS and continue his paladin life.
He doesn't really care for New Vegas or the Hoover Dam.

I'm working on a smexy woman named Dawn, who travels with boone and ed-e. Prefers cowboys weapons (Revolvers, Reapeaters ect)
