About this image
Factoid: Ghost survives the Wasteland very well, physically. She has wonderful coordination, reflexes, and aptitude. She's intelligent and quick-thinking. However, the mental and emotional effects of leaving the Vault, and later, the death of her loved ones, are devastating. She is unable to adapt and cope with these radical changes. Unfortunately, this leads to alcohol and substance abuse; her way of trying to escape the crushing feeling of being utterly alone in an alien environment. Drugs have the opposite effect, however, and only intensify the feeling of vulnerability and lack of control. It's a harsh cycle. The substance abuse also tends to put hard strains on friendship and romantic relationships, which also increases the feeling of loneliness.
A more upbeat factoid: Ghost's given name is Lily.
(I can't be the only one who creates such backstories for my characters. *nerd* :3 )

Didn't see this one before.
Anyway, nice to see others care about their characters enough to make a backstory, no you are definitely not the only one
absolutely cool!!!
Nicely done. I can feel the emotions in the image. I have back stories for my characters also. They help me with play style and quest choices. Our back stories would play an even bigger part if FO3 had multi-player support...
Good job on the image. The blur effect is just right, just enough to have the viewer focus on her. Props are set up quite nice as well.
Now we should get her to doc church. If he feeds us with all that grumpy stuff i have my baseball bat ready to cave his skull in.
Cheer up Ghost, you are not alone, in fact I think I ran into your twin sister just outside of New Vegas.
English is a tricksy language, even for those of us who speak is fluently. :3

Endorsed... I am decaffeinated (Forgot to use the right link).
Excellent background and very realistic considering the main story. Well done.
