Augustus Autumn - Tumblr Posts
Can we talk about the parallels between Kellogg and Nate..
They’re both over a hundred years old using technology, while still looking somewhat young.
Wives and babies killed, Shaun always dies.
Killing machines used by powerful forces, the Institute and US military.
Kellogg comments that Sarcastic Nate (which is arguably canon) reminds him of himself.
Nukaworld is basically Nate’s Kellogg arc. GOD BLESS THE U S OF A
What I find interesting about Colonel Autumn is that he's a parallel to the Lone Wanderer in the ways that matter.
Autumn was around 19-20 when most of the people around the Oil Rig died. The Lone Wanderer was 19 when James left the vault, leaving the Overseer to go mad and have security kill a number of Vault dwellers. Either way, both lost everything on those fateful days of their lives.
Both of them have deceased scientist fathers.
When you invert blue, you're left with orange, and in some cases, beige. LW wears a blue jumpsuit, and Autumn wears a beige longcoat.
Both are the de-facto driving forces behind their respective sides. While Owyn and Sarah do stuff with the BoS, more often than not, the LW is the one doing things like getting the G.E.C.K., destroying the mobile Enclave crawler, etc. Despite Eden being President and outranking Autumn, the Colonel is still de-facto leader of the Enclave, and has more control over it than one may initially think. Furthermore, you cross his path at various times in the story because he's actively looking for you. From Project Purity, Vault 87, Raven Rock, and Project Purity again. He is very much active in going against you.
Both of them are President Eden's only (living) confidants that know his secret.
Both get hit by the radiation spike in Project Purity and survive. (LW in Broken Steel)

Falloutober Day 2 - Little Fish
I took today's prompt to mean, say, a little fish in the big ocean. Sal is a 19 year old girl in this big wasteland. I also included the idea that she feels incredibly small in the shadow of one of the most feared men of the Capital Wasteland (hence the literal shadow!)

Falloutober Day 5 - Hospitality
So, today I went ironic. Hospitality means welcoming and treating guests with kindness. The Enclave does... the opposite of that. They invade and take over, and who else but Colonel Augustus Autumn to lead that "warm" welcome?

Falloutober Day 7 - Riffraff
So! I'd like to thank @deerhillsniperservice for letting me use Arin, Alan, Arlen, and Aaron for this prompt. We've been discussing and now apparently Sal is part of the family, regardless of how silly her new brothers (Alan and Arlen might be...)
Col. Autumn is tired of their antics. I love them to bits.

Falloutober Day 8 - Rattle
This is shortly after the colonel found Sal. He had no idea what he was doing, and he didn't know how to soothe her... until he happened to find a key ring for a vertibird in his pocket. I think this is genuinely the cutest thing I've ever drawn.

Falloutober Day 13 - Forewarning
First off, the lady in top left isn't Sal. That's the Lone Wanderer (Aria). Sal, when hearing of her father's plan to take over the purifier, sees the scene depicted above her, with her father being shot. So she asks him not to go. But, if you've seen Day One, he goes anyway. And she thinks he's dead.

Falloutober Day 15 - Stale Winds, Still Waters
This is a continuation of Day 1 and Day 13. I figured it was the perfect thing for this day to reunite father and daughter. Just as Sal was about to kill Aria for what she had done to her father, Autumn returns. Alive. Sal nearly can't believe her eyes, but he's here. He's okay.
