So I've kinda been wanting to do this for a month now. A lot of the NPC companions from Fallout: NV are memorable and fun, and some of them might just work great as a runner team. And rather than do everything myself, I figure, why not ask for input from everyone else?
Now, I haven't decided on gear or anything yet, and I will be updating this thread with new ideas as I go along.
For now, I present my 'rough draft' of the first convert. Veronica Santangelo, former Brotherhood Scribe and charming punch-machine.
For some racial variation, I decided to make Veronica an Elf. It lets her be a bit more charismatic and agile, plus I figure she was probably a former member of the Tir military or some such.

And yes, I gave Veronica Unarmed 7, as, in the game, she has a score higher than anyone can possibly achieve.
