Elder Maxson X Institute Leader

"....Leader of the institute?" You whispered, eyes narrowed in confusion, The card had said that you was indeed involved with either the leader of the institute or you would become the leader

You frowned even more before flinging the board game across the room

"Stupid board game!" You yelled out in anger, your father had told you that it would determine you're future, as if a board game could determine your future!

Your anger only doubled when you realised you had once again been lied to, why did people do this to you? They always cheated or lied! You spoke nothing but the truth and this is what you get in return? Pathetic

You hardened your gaze, about to smash up your room but that's when you heard alarms blazing, your (E/C) eyes darted up in confusion, opening the door to the hallway you glanced out and that's when you saw people getting shot, bullets flying around the room

You watched as people fell to the floor, screams and cries were heard as mothers or fathers tried to get their children out of there as quickly as they could

Blood covered the floors and walls which made your heart drop, nearly everyone in the vault was dead but your mind drifted to Maxson

Was he okay?

Panic started to set in and just as you was about to run back into your room you was roughly grabbed by a...man, he had a scar on his face, he was bald and had some..armour on?

"Huh?" You breathed out in shock, but when you realised what was happening you let out a scream in panic

"Shut up." He hissed But when you continued he rolled his eyes and slammed the Butt of his gun into your face making your vision darken and the last thing you felt was your body make contact with the steel floor

{Current}

Little did you know at that time, you would be the future leader of the institute. Turns out that board game was right after all.

After everything you witnessed in that vault that day, it only strengthened you. Sure it strengthened you in a bad way. You become more cold towards people but after what you witnessed at such a young age what else did you expect?

You served under the rule of a man named Shaun, turns out you was actually related to him, You was his daughters child

So that day when that man, Kellogg shot up the vault and kidnapped you. Technically it was your fault in a way. Think about it, if you wasn't there that wouldn't of happened.

So at the age of 9, you kind of had blood on your hands. Sure it wasn't you pulling the trigger but you was still involved in a way.

Shaun said the reason why you was in the vault in the first place was the fact that his daughter, your mother didn't want you at risk, and being in the cruel wasteland you wouldn't of survived long so your Mother forced you and your father to live in the vault however your father had managed to get out after 7 years so the other two years before you was kidnapped, you was forced to stay on your own.

Shaun started teaching you how to run the institute, what they actually did there and why

As years passed, you finally became an adult, you was 20 now and Shaun thought it would've been a good idea to announce to you that you would be the next director!

"What?!" You gasped out in shock! It's not that you didn't like it, it was just the fact that you had such a huge responsibility at such a young age.

"Grandad are you crazy?!..never mind. But seriously?! How old was you when you was director?" You asked, shock completely took over your body now "That doesn't matter because I know you will do the institute proud." He smiled softly
