Shorty

 

Shorty is one of the residents of Big Town in 2277.

BackgroundEdit

Although diminutive, Shorty received his nickname from the fellow residents of Big Town due to his fiery temper: "Short-T." Currently, he's praying for a quick death in the basement kitchen of the Germantown Police Station.^[1]

NotesEdit

• Shorty's name is rather appropriate because he is probably one of the shortest non-child characters in the game (0.9 x player's height).
• Shorty is also one of the only people in Big Town who hasn't had a 'fling' with Bittercup. The only other male exception is Dusty.

• "From the look of things, I'd say a Super Mutant sat down in a ditch one day and shat out this town. I dragged myself here from Lamplight. I didn't believe all the stories about Bigtown, but I wasn't about to let everyone else go there without me. A few dozen attacks on the town later, and here I am. Almost an ingredient in a Super Mutant chile cook-off."
