AU details (in-progress)



Information
Age before cryo: 7? Ish?.
Age AFTER cryo: anywhere from 15-20. Give or take.
Skills: Has translated the roping skills her dad taught her into being frankly skilled as fuck with a whip. She doesn't like guns but she can USE them well enough if she has to. Learned how to fight at some point. Which is where the roping to whip translation came from. Is pretty damn good at tinkering and fixing shit. Can hack like a motherfucker.
The Basics
After riding away from the birthday party with her dad, Janey went into cryo with her mom (and Cooper was probably turned away because GHOUL). Centuries later, but somewhere around nine or ten years before the show (probably, depends on my math), somehow Janey came OUT of cryo. And she was left, at 7 years of age give or take, to grow up and adapt to a world that's so different from the world that had been dying around around her as she went into cryo.
The Fiddly Bits and other Details
In 2077, after being parted from her dad (probably unwillingly), Janey was given a pip-boy by her mother, and she was taken into a vault. This vault was set up with cryosleep pods, and Janey was put into cryo for 200 some odd years, give or take (depending on how old she is when she comes out of cryo; itโ€™s flexible in this AU).

When she comes out of cryo (be it because that was when the pods were supposed to wake her up, or some sort of malfunction, or some other reason), the world is completely different to the world sheโ€™d left behind. And sheโ€™s a child. Possibly a child alone. Left to fend for herself.

Leaving this part pretty vague for potential exploration in RP, but she flounders HARD at first because sheโ€™s a 7 year old (at the oldest 10) on her own with NO knowledge of a post-bombs world. Sheโ€™s got a steep learning curve and sheโ€™s been dropped into the fucking deep end. She probably survives by being scrappy and learning to adapt QUICK, until she at some point stumbles across some kind souls in the Wasteland, most likely NCR folks. Which helps her learn all the skills that she knows, save for the whip skills, which she adapts from the roping skills her dad had been teaching her before it all goes to shit.
