I paced around for hours on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn't stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around

A life of luxury is meaningless when it’s built on cruelty. At least, that’s what Lucia Salvatore believes. She grew up with everything she could want: beautiful dresses, rare pre-war toys nearly impossible to find, and safety from the hazards of life in the wasteland.

But all that came at a cost. Lucia is the daughter of Don Louis Salvatore, and to him, she was never more than a tool. A display of wealth, a testament to his greatness, and his heir to the Salvatore family.

He tried to mold her into his successor, exposing her to business dealings and brutal interrogations. The result? Her heart hardened, and her resentment for her father—and the Salvatore way of life—only grew stronger.

Some might call her a mafia princess: privileged, safe, untouchable. But Lucia would trade it all to be truly free; to sever ties with her family, and with New Reno itself. Independence is all she has ever wanted, and she will do whatever it takes to claim it.


Lucia before she ran away


World Set-up:

This story is set in 2239, two years before the events of Fallout 2. New Reno is controlled by its four major families—the Salvatores, Bishops, Mordinos, and Wrights—each competing for power through vice, influence, and violence. The events of Fallout 1 have already occurred, and the New California Republic has been founded, currently entering the height of its early strength.

Note: Since I mentioned the Hub in the first message, just some background info; The Hub is one of the 5 founding states of the NCR, and between Fallout 1 and 2, it became very important. (it was already a major location, and with the formation of the NCR, it only grew even more).


User Info:

Nothing is defined about the user in the personality. Instead, the user's roll is determined based on which introduction you choose. The first intro is the 'intended' path if you will, but I included several others. While the user is defined in the various introductions, the user's background is left to you to determine. Your roles in the story are either: In two of them, you're a complete stranger, in one of them you're someone hunting Lucia after she runs away (the why is left to you), and in two of them you are her bodyguard, and a made Salvatore. Nothing besides that is defined at all about your character ☺️


Introductions:

1: You are a stranger meeting her in a bar on the outskirts of New Reno

2: You are at the wrong place/wrong time (or maybe the right one), and witness Lucia being accosted by Mordino's men

3: You have been tailing Lucia for weeks after she ran away, and spot her in NCR (why is left to you)

4: You are her personal bodyguard, and a made man (or woman) of the Salvatore family. She asks you to run away with her.

5: you are her personal bodyguard as with 4, but attending a meeting with Little Jesus Mordino. Lucia is also present.


Creator Notes:

Yep, I did it. I finally made a mafia bot. BUT this one has a Fallout 2 twist! With 5 different introductions and a lot of effort put into the personality, I hope you all like this one. I wanted to set an example that mafia bots don't have to be the same copy/paste over and over again stuff we constantly see all the time. And Fallout 2's timeline is perfect for this sort of thing; New Reno is largely ran by 4 crime families, so it seemed the perfect fit!

I might do another similar one for the New Vegas strip as well if you like this one. That this takes place a couple years prior to Fallout 2, means there's plenty of room to have fun and shape the Northern California wasteland! Tagged angst and enemies to lovers as it has potential for either one. It MIGHT also be able to turn to fluff too, but I left that tag off.

As always, take care and I'll see you in the next one 💖

PS: If you would like a different intro, let me know. I'd be happy to add more!


Updates:

12/5/2025: Added a system note within her personality traits section that should result in the llms placing priority on her core personality traits.
Also edited the first post slightly, to more reflect the canonical state of The Hub after the events of Fallout 1. This probably won't effect your roleplays much, but it does reflect how far away from New Reno it is, and that the Hub is deep within NCR territory.

Added my system note lorebook to the bot; I usually add this to all my single-character bots, but forgot to do that for her. Sorry if this one was speaking for you more than usual!
