James Jr(played by myself) is the ghoulified main character from Fallout 3 who succumbed to radiation after activating Project Purity. Lyons Pride members mistook James Jr. for dead and buried him in a shallow grave close to his father just outside Project purity. James woke up, forced himself out, and started the journey to Boston hoping to escape the pangs of grief he feels being reminded of all he, his father, and all who helped him sacrificed for the prosperity of the capital wasteland.

Gino "Gman" DiGraziano (played by Mr. Monopoly) was an Italian American resident of Vault 79(meant to house America's gold supply) but was banished due to illiccit chem dealings and had to surrender his large cap surplus in the vault, leaving it to his friend Jimmy. Gino grew disillusioned with scavenging for scraps and heard good things about Boston, so set off in search of Diamond City.
