Biography[]
Origins[]
Paula Hopper was born on May 8, 2240, in Rapid Valley to Ophelia and Harper Hopper. Both caravaners, Paula's parents often took her on dangerous journeys through Rapid City as a child. This gave Paula a lot of experience in killing at an early age, usually feral ghouls and raiders. One particular experience saw her parents' caravan being assaulted by super mutants from the Superiority, even though they had paid the mutants off. They barely escaped. This caused some fears and supplanted her general distrust of mutants, but Paula still holds fond memories of that time in her life. Her mother would always tuck her into bed, and her father would always kiss her on the cheek to say goodnight.
Paula's fear was not helped when her mother came out as a lesbian in 2249 and was forced out of the house (and eventually Rapid Valley) by her spurned father. Paula was only nine years old and did not understand what was happening. Her mother did not tuck her into bed, and her father did not kiss her on the cheek. For a few days, she assumed it was her fault and hid in her room, refusing to come out. Her father was drunk and depressed since her mother was gone and did not even try to get Paula out of her room for two days.
After her mother left, Paula's father cleaned up his act, sold their old caravan, and tried to settle down in Rapid Valley to try to begin again. He even remarried in 2252. Though it did mean she would get some schooling, these events did not go over well with Paula, and she grew distant from her father and stepmother. She did not make any friends in Rapid Valley and became a dedicated loner. Paula wanted out of her constrictive house, she wanted to explore and get out like she did when she was young. This need to leave was only compounded when puberty hit.
She saw an opportunity to escape in 2256: the Dakota Regulators. The saintly white-coated protectors of the town, the Regulators were some of the few people in Rapid Valley who left town and went into the ruins of Rapid City, besides caravaners. The entry age was sixteen, and Paula decided it was her best way out.
Her father did not approve of Paula leaving, but accepted it as what she wanted and gave her several going away presents. One of these was her first knife "to keep her safe".
Beginnings in the Regulators[]
When Paula Hopper went to the Regulators asking to join, they were happy enough to accept her and put her with a trainer. At the time Paula joined (2256), the Regulators were rather low on manpower, what with combating raiders and (more recently) slavers, so they needed to rush out as many new Regulators as soon as possible to make up for daily losses.
In 2257, Paula was first assigned to duty enforcing basic law inside Rapid Valley before going on any expeditions to the outside. This frustrated Paula, as she was told that she had shown much promise in training but then was not allowed outside or even assigned to a platoon. Also, the conflict with the slavers had escalated into a war with Custer's American Army, and Paula was just itching to get some action. Instead, she was stuck in Rapid Valley, taking down drunks and embezzlers armed with a crossbow. Her new uniform was some scavenged pieces combat armor and sports equipment painted the Regulators' traditional white.
The work was boring, but Paula knew that the outside was dangerous and that she shouldn't be presumptuous about going out like she had when she was a little girl. Everything changed in 2258. The cork popped out of Vault 52, and hundreds of chem-addled vault dwellers had emerged to ravage the whole of Rapid City.
Information on the vault dwellers in Rapid Valley was spotty at first, with many actually supporting the dwellers in uprooting the raider gangs and possibly setting up their own settlement, not knowing their chem addiction and uncontrollable nature. Paula heard about and paid this little mind, thinking it would blow over. Then word came that Custer had withdrawn his entire army from Rapid City ahead of the vault dwellers. This didn't have too much of an effect on most of Rapid Valley, but it set off a whole series of alarms in Paula's head. What if we're next on their list? She watched the city beyond Rapid Valley smoke and worried.
Shit Gets Real[]
In the early hours of July 2, 2258, Paula's fears came true. Bypassing various Regulator checkpoints and outposts, a band of almost one hundred vault dwellers advanced on Rapid Valley in the biggest direct attack on the settlement since the Superiority sacked the place almost forty years earlier.
The vault dwellers' approach was sighted by sentries, and all Dakota Regulators were posted to the walls to fight, even Paula. The vault dwellers came at Rapid Valley's walls in droves with grenades and explosives, blowing several holes in the Regulators defenses. Paula took some shrapnel to the leg at that time.
The chem addled vault dwellers that came through the gaps used a weird mix of laser and melee weapons to take a big toll on the Regulators. Paula specifically had to fight off several vault dwellers on her bad leg, first with her crossbow then viscerally with her combat knife. By the end of the battle, Paula had collapsed, covered in her and her enemies' blood while slumped against a vault dweller corpse.
Paula woke up the next day in a hospital bed to find that she had already healed by a stimpak. After getting up and limping out of her tent, Paula was greeted by a smiling face: Barry Cecil, one of the Regulators' sergeants. Cecil informed Paula that due to her performance (and manpower shortages), she would be officially assigned to one of the Regulators' two platoons, Free Eagle Platoon to be specific. This brought Paula much joy, and she quickly moved her living space from her shack to the Free Eagle Platoon's new encampment outside Rapid Valley.
There, she met her new squadmates: Dick Hayes, Young, Daryl Radson, Jag III, and Freddy Rickles. In the time before presumably being deployed into Rapid City to fight the vault dwellers, Paula had to get to know her squad. The only woman in her squad, Paula nonetheless managed to bond with her squad mates due to common interests, combat experiences, and strip poker (which Paula almost always won).
Paula soon found each squadmate had different interests or quirks. Hayes, the leader, always tried to be serious and official but was willing to have a bit of fun with his soldiers. Young, a grunt recruited even after Paula, tried to be brave and outspoken but had a distinct phobia of mutants. Radson was a polite upstanding fellow but was as clumsy as all get out. Jag III was descended from great men and women and let everyone know. He was arrogant but actually tolerable. Freddy Rickles was another grunt like Paula and Young but was very intelligent and acted as the squad's brains. Paula became friends with all of them, Radson most of all.
This short peaceful time ended on July 19 when a large group of vault dwellers attacked the Regulators' encampment at dusk. Paula, now prepared for the fight, charged at the vault dwellers alongside her squad and sent them running by the next morning. Paula emerged with a victory and unscathed, but that came at a cost.
In the fighting, Jag III took a slug to the head and was instantly killed. Meanwhile, Hayes took a steak knife to his left eye and had to be hospitalized. With Hayes injured, the second in command Daryl Radson took over. Hopper was happy for Radson but was unhappy at the two new recruits, Eskimo Joe, and Hannah. Accepting them was hard, as Joe was a borderline mute, Hannah was a bitch, and Paula had little time until their next assignment.
In early August, the Free Eagle Platoon was finally sent out to Rapid City to make sorties with the vault dwellers and bring down their numbers. Paula and her squad were ordered to west to investigate the entrance of Vault 52 along with a few other squads and shoot any remaining vault dwellers that emerged.
Arriving near Vault 52, the Regulator squads scouted out the entrance only to see fighting occurring there already. It appeared that a group of Yen Boys was taking vault dwellers captive and a gang of vault dwellers had come up to engage them. The Regulators decided to ultimately engage both forces but focus on the Yen Boys, as they were heavily armed.
Paula was happy to be back in action, now equipped with a laser rifle scavenged from the body of a dead vault dweller. When the Regulators fell upon the combatants, Paula's squad engaged the Yen Boys. Paula was in the thick of the fight, running through ruins and scrambling up walls to get closer. She did not get into close combat in this battle but managed to pick off several Yen Boys with her laser rifle. Near the end of the battle, one of the Chinese raiders attempted to brain her with a hatchet but was killed by Radson, who Paula gave a thumbs up. She escaped this battle unscathed.
None of Paula's squad were killed or severely injured in battle, though Eskimo Joe did sustain some minor injuries due to a fall. After the battle, the Regulators set up camp outside Vault 52, hoping to cut off any vault dweller stragglers or Yen Boy slavers. Things looked well for those first few weeks. Paula and her squadmates had a lot of fun in their downtime, with the most memorable moment being driving an ancient car through the streets of Rapid City for a day. Freddy Rickles had managed to repair the car to working condition. Paula drove with Radson in the shotgun and the rest in the backseat. When the sun set, the squad piled out of the car, fleeing its inevitable explosion laughing all the way.
In reality, though, the next month would be hell. Attacks on the Regulators' camp by raiders, vault dwellers, and feral ghouls steadily increased as time went on. Refugees from the rest of Rapid City clinging onto the Regulators for protection drained resources quicker as well. This occupation of Vault 52 was not sustainable.
Paula cared little for the refugees draining resources, as many were good people (though some were mutants). What she cared about were the dead, her dead. About a month into the occupation, Yen Boys picked off Eskimo Joe when he fell asleep at night on guard duty. The Regulators found his body the next day strung up by his ankles outside their camp along with two other dead sentries. While Radson solemnly cut the three down, Paula watched him tear up a bit. The bodies were sent back to Rapid Valley for burial.
Paula wanted to head an expedition against the Yen Boys in retaliation but was talked down by Radson and her superiors. This was ultimately for the best, because retaliation would have overextended the Regulators and opened their flank to attack.
Sentries and guards continued to be picked off by vault dwellers or raiders, and by September, the Regulators outside Vault 52 had lost more than thirty people to guerilla warfare with little to show for it. Also, the pressure of the job was hard on Paula's squad. Young was having paranoia over the ghouls among the refugees, and both him and Hannah were deeply affected by Eskimo Joe's death. Radson and Paulson worked hard to keep their squad together and guard the Regulators' camp. This made Paula a bit ticked off since she would rather continue making sorties into the Rapid City ruins along with the other platoon instead of guarding Vault 52. She also resented the Regulators' leadership, specifically Commander Isaacs and her former "friend" Sergeant Cecil, for seemingly forgetting about her squad and their encampment and letting them soak up casualties.
Young was killed in September, shanked by a ghoul refugee he was checking for "contraband". Radson quickly executed the refugee before he could escape while Paula and the squad watched, later dumping the body outside the camp. Paula talked to several of the refugees about the knifing and found that Young had roughed up several mutants before holding the one that killed him at gunpoint. Paula thought about this but decided to not tell Radson and the rest of the squad about it.
When the winter of 2258 arrived, more and more vault dwellers tried to return to Vault 52 and attack the Regulators' camp. By November, the Regulators' leadership decided that, instead of holding of the vault's entrance like they had, they would instead simply blow up the Vault's entrance and prevent any possible entry by vault dwellers, raiders, or scavengers. Paula's squad and the rest of the Regulators' in the camp were told to return to Rapid Valley while the demolition squad blocked off Vault 52's entrance.
Returning to Rapid Valley, Paula and what remained of her squad were incorporated into the town's garrison of Regulators to defend from more potential attacks from the Superiority, raiders, or even Custer. This combined with the Regulators' seeming waste of life occupying Vault 52 when they could have just blown it up pissed Paula off and made her want to hurt someone, anyone. This only worsened when an injured Hayes took back over as squad leader from Radson. Three people in my squad alone died for the Commander's vanity, even more from the platoon. This idiocy can't go on.
Luckily for the Regulators, most of the factions of Rapid City had not weathered the vault dwellers onslaught as well as them, taking almost a year to recover. This was a slow, anger inducing time for Paula which was only alleviated by her friends Daryl Radson and Freddy Rickles, who helped with her anger issues and potentially prevented her from deserting. By the summer of 2259, Paula was at breaking point and in an act of desperation pleaded with Sergeant Cecil to be reassigned to something other than garrison duty. She was refused.
So as war raged outside Rapid Valley's walls once again between Custer and the Regulators, once again Paula was stuck inside Rapid Valley. This, combined with the seemingly unnecessary deaths in her squad, made Paula very angry. Soon, Radson and the rest of the squad were mad as well. Change was coming, whether the higher ups liked it or not.
Friends, Dead or Alive[]
In the fall of 2259, Paula's squad was finally back sent out into Rapid City to fight. This made Paula and Radson extremely happy but worried Hayes. This was because Hayes knew the Regulators were not deploying them as a favor but because they were becoming desperate. It was a consequence of this that led much Paula's Hopper's future pain.
The first few days out on patrol in Rapid City were uneventful, as most of the raiders simply wanted to avoid a highly armed force of Regulators. The soldiers of Custer's American Army had no such scruples.
On October 3, 2259, Hayes' squad of Regulators, including Paula, were patrolling the area west of Vault 52. It was a standard procedure by then, as the squad had done it several times before. However, things were different since this time they were beset by a hail of automatic gunfire. The withering fire, from a RUSA machine gun nest, cut down Hannah instantly and dropped Radson to the ground. While the rest of her squad scrambled for cover, Paula ran out into the open to drag Radson to cover. She managed to succeed, dragging him into a ruined bookstore even as the gunfire cut through the walls. Eventually though, the gunfire turned away from Paula and towards other members of her squad, behind cover but stuck in the open street.
Paula stayed with Radson for a whole day, nursing his wounds as best as she could while watching for raiders or RUSA soldiers. She also painfully watched out a narrow window as the machine nest worked at picking off her two remaining squadmates, Hayes and Freddy Rickles. It was unsuccessful but kept them pinned down for that whole day into the night. Paula managed to indicate to both of them where she was through using a small pocket mirror, a technique they had learned in training.
When nightfall came, raiders also entered the fight. Vault dweller raiders, hailing from around Vault 52, were attracted by the gunfire and engaged with both the RUSA and Paula's Regulator squadmates. They killed Freddy Rickles in cold blood but actually allowed cover for Hayes to get out of the open and make a run towards Paula's position in the ruined bookstore. With Paula providing cover fire, Hayes made it over to Paula. The two, along with the injured Radson, then had a refreshing drink of water. Paula and Radson though were still visibly shaken by Rickles and Hannah's deaths. Hayes had not known either of them for long, being hospitalized for most of their service but tried to make the other two as comfortable as possible, particularly the injured Radson. That night, Paula was on watch and spent her time rifling through books and putting some in a satchel, for later.
On the morning of October 4, 2259, Paula scouted outside and found that the machine gun nest had been dismantled and abandoned. The vault dweller raiders were gone as well. Since he was stronger, Hayes decided he would carry Radson while Paula would go in front and protect them from potential threats. They both slowly crept out of the ruined bookstore into the open. It was dawn, and the city was just waking up. The three Regulators made their way through the ruins towards Rapid Valley.
Progress was slowed due to Hayes carrying a now unconscious Radson, and Paula was forced to fend off some vicious dogs. The gunshots drew the attention of some raiders, who zeroed in on the Regulators. The three were forced to run west, away from Rapid Valley. Paula, seeing the situation was hopeless otherwise, convinced Hayes to drop Radson down in cover and run for it. She said they could come back for him later. After a few seconds of convincing, Hayes agreed and dropped Radson down behind a mailbox.
Paula and Hayes managed to outrun the raiders and inch their way back towards Rapid Valley. They didn't talk much. Apart from Radson's abandonment, they seemed to be doing fine and would make it back before the day was over. Only one of them would.
Passing near Vault 52, Paula and Hayes were caught unawares by the same RUSA machine nest as yesterday, which had set up once after Paula had scouted out its position. Hayes was gunned down instantly while Paula dropped to the ground and feigned death. The RUSA soldiers, not scavengers, did not bother to check for bodies, and Paula spent the rest of the day crawling her way past them.
After escaping the machine gun nest, Paula stumbled her way back to Rapid Valley, feeling utterly broken. Walking through Rapid Valley's gates, Paula was also immediately taken back to the barracks to get medical treatment for her injuries and to be evaluated. A Regulator asked Paula where her squad was, and she simply did not respond.
Paula's physical injuries were minor, with only a few scrapes and one solitary gunshot to her leg. Paula's primary injuries were psychological, trauma from seeing her squad being cut down one by one. For two weeks, she did not say a word to anyone and mostly stayed in bed, trying to understand what had happened. She was so ashamed of seemingly abandoning Radson and leading Hayes to his death. Paula frequently had trouble sleeping and when she did, she woke up screaming. So, Paula silently read the books she had taken from the bookstore at night. It soon helped her get through the days as well.
Paula had taken four books from the bookstore and read them all in her three weeks in bed. They were Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, and Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelly. Paula read all four while she was bedridden to get through the days, but only one of them really stuck with her.
After her two weeks in the hospital, Paula was given a test to determine whether she mentally sound enough to be released. Passing, she was released back into Rapid City and was sent back to the Regulators' barracks to be reassigned to another squad (and possibly another platoon).
On arrival, Paula requested a visit her father before being reassigned, as she was sure he was worried sick about her. This was granted.
Paula's visit with her father was short and sweet since she did not want to sleep at his house. Her father knew something was up with her as soon as she arrived, but due to Paula's reluctance, he was unable to find out what was wrong. In the end, he and her stepmother just told Paula that they were happy to see her alive and sent her on her way, not knowing the turmoil going on beneath the surface.
Returning the Regulators' barracks, Paula was reassigned to the Mohicans Platoon headed by the young and upcoming Sergeant Johnson. Johnson, a short but dynamic man, welcomed this tall confused looking woman into his platoon with open arms, deciding to assign her to to his squad as what he called "a personal favor". Paula did not protest, happy enough to return to the fight against Custer and the rest of the scum of Rapid City. Her enthusiasm after the death of her previous squad creeped out the rest of her new squad but fascinated Sergeant Johnson for some reason. She suppressed her sleeping episodes and tried to put up a brave face for her new squad.
Before her first mission with her new squad though, Paula learned that Radson was alive, been rescued, and was currently in the same clinic Paula had stayed in. However, Johnson told Paula that Radson was "fucked up real bad" and warned against visiting him.
Of course Paula disobeyed this and did it anyways. Radson was sitting in a bed sleeping. He looked unharmed, which made Paula relieved. However, when Paula touched Radson's arms, she saw restraints tying him to the bed. A nurse then came up to Paula and shooed her away, saying the patient had been violently traumatized for weeks on end and should not be disturbed.
Paula quietly asked what had happened to Radson, who looked uninjured to her. The nurse took her aside and whispered the story. Apparently, Radson had been found tied up in a raider den high on jet being ridden by numerous female raiders. The Regulators had waited until his captors had gone to sleep and had spirited him back to Rapid Valley a babbling mess. Paula clenched her fists, angry that the scum that had tormented her friend was still at large. Not for long hopefully.
Returning to her platoon, Paula was sent out on several missions in late 2259 and early 2260, mostly patrols and skirmishing with raiders such as Yen Boys and vault dwellers. She grew closer to Sergeant Johnson, and the two became "good friends", perhaps even more. Paula had trouble expressing herself to Johnson, but he cared little about that, "talking for both of them" as he said. Paula also got to know Mark Hayes, her former squad leader Dick Hayes' uncle. They did not become friends but developed a sort of mutual respect. After each mission, Paula would visit Radson in the clinic, sometimes even reading to him from one of her books. With her help, Radson began to recover, though he still did not talk, just listen.
In early 2260, Sergeant Johnson also began to visit Radson, having heard of him from Paula while in combat and in the barracks. Johnson was much less thoughtful than Paula was and often scared Radson with his loud voice and sudden movements. Within a month, Johnson had stopped visiting Radson, which Paula was silently relieved by.
The summer of 2260 saw great changes for the Dakota Regulators and Paula. Custer's new summer offensive was in full swing, and Regulators were dying regularly in the ruins of Rapid City to prevent him from taking Rapid Valley. Everything seemed the same to most. However, Commander Isaacs, Sergeant Cecil, and Sergeant Johnson knew otherwise. They had read full causality lists of the war against Custer and had seen its effects on the people of Rapid Valley and the Regulators' numbers. Isaacs and Cecil figured that this war had started from a moral standpoint, to prevent slavery, and it should end as it was useless to both sides, diverting from the real enemy (raiders and mutants), and was costing a exorbitant amount to finance. Johnson, a man with strong morals and convictions, rejected any possibilty of peace besides victory against Custer and threatened mutiny if he caught wind of any "deals". That was exactly what happened in June.
Johnson, discovering that Isaacs and Cecil were trying to negotiate a peace, decided to take things into his own hands. Going in front of both his and Cecil's platoons, Johnson revealed the two's "treachery" and declared them traitors "to Rapid Valley and the good people inside". Winning the platoons' approval, Sergeant Johnson led a coup, young Paula at his side, and they arrested both Isaacs and Cecil. In a kangaroo court, the two were found guilty of treason against the Regulators and Rapid Valley and were executed. The coup was over, and change had arrived. It looked like Sergeant Johnson would become commander and institute much needed reforms, finally.
The changes were not what what most expected though. Paula thought Johnson should become commander, as he was "the most obvious fit". However, Johnson instead allowed Gregson, a more experienced Regulator from the Free Eagle Platoon, to become commander instead. The war with Custer continued as before and on the surface, not much changed.
Behind the scenes though, the Regulators were in turmoil. At the moment, the war with Custer and the rest of Rapid City's raiders was unsustainable, and if nothing was done, the Regulators ammo supplies would dry up by late 2261. Being part of Sergeant Johnson's squad and "a personal friend", Paula heard a lot of this first hand, and it worried her. Without supplies, how could could they defend themselves from the horrors waiting outside? This only compounded Paula's previous problems with nightmares and flashbacks, and it even effected her visits to Radson, whose unresponsiveness began to frustrate her as she became more stressed.
These personal struggles did not effect her field service though. Paula did admirably in battle under Sergeant Johnson, killing numerous RUSA soldiers, mutants, and raiders with a calm sort of anger. She learned not to yell or scream but to instead express her anguish and pain on the battlefield. This worked well enough for Paula but worried her squadmates and even Johnson.
In September 2260, it had become abundantly clear that no one in Rapid City was willing to stick out their necks for the Regulators. So, Sergeant Johnson declared that he would be "looking north for help" and left, leaving the Regulators and Paula to continue their fight.
While Johnson was off negotiating in the north, the fighting in Rapid City escalated. While Custer continued to attack, the Superiority and other raider gangs stepped up their attacks of the Regulators as well. Paula was often outside Rapid Valley at this time, fending off mutants, raiders, and RUSA soldiers. She did still make time to visit Radson as he recovered.
However, soon enough RUSA forces had pushed the Regulators all the way back to Rapid Valley, incurring large casualties on both sides. The Siege of Rapid Valley began. Paula did not leave Rapid Valley as she once did and was instead placed on wall duty, watching the RUSA camp below as the siege went on. A few shots were exchanged between her and the besiegers but there were never any actual assaults on the walls. During this time, Paula tried to connect with new squad, but they all saw her as a brownnose to Johnson, and the only one who would talk to her was Hayes.
As winter arrived in 2260, so did Sergeant Johnson and a delegation from the mysterious American Northern Army. Paula watched them enter the RUSA camp, go through, and emerge on the other side unscathed. She and the rest of the Regulators were flabbergasted. Sergeant Johnson arrived in Rapid Valley rejoicing to everyone's confusion and joyfully announced that the war with Custer was over. As Paula tried to ask him more, he actually gave her a big kiss on the mouth in the open and ran off, hurraying all the way. Paula was furious and embarrassed at this but let Johnson skip off, with him eventually running into a wall. It was later determined that he had been drinking.
Eventually, Johnson sobered up and informed the rest of the Regulators of the situation. He had joined them to the American Northern Army and had forced Custer to end the war in one fell stroke. This made many Regulators (including Paula) a bit confused and angry, as Johnson had joined them to a group they knew very little about without consulting any of the Regulators themselves. Paula even yelled at Johnson about not thinking of the consequences of his actions, a gutsy move going up against a sergeant.
This feeling of unease went on for a few days until Commander Gregson, the sergeants, and the ANA representatives from the north figured things out. Paula was infuriated as she felt Johnson had signed them over to an unknown group and embarrassed her in public. She vented on length to Radson, still hospitalized and silent in the clinic from trauma.
However, Paula was surprised by what happened next. A day after the ANA's arrival, General Custer and his forces broke off the siege and returned to their base in Camp Rapid. This overjoyed many in Rapid Valley and made Paula rethink her opinion of Sergeant Johnson.
The Beginning of A Beautiful Friendship[]
For the Regulators, the last months of 2260 and first few months of 2261 were spent getting used to being part of the American Northern Army. The Regulators were too exhausted by the siege to make any immediate actions against the raiders and mutants outside, so most people settled into an uneasy peace. Supplies from the north seemed to arrive daily, mostly weapons and food, with a few ANA flags as well. Paula liked this and gave some of the new rations to Radson while he was in bed.
Paula did not leave Rapid Valley in late 2260 and early 2261 but instead stayed put in town. However, this time she wanted to stay, to get closer to Sergeant Johnson (who she had confused feelings over) and to watch over Radson. Johnson was ecstatic Paula returned his feelings for her and in the spring of 2261, Paula and Johnson had their second kiss in the Regulators barracks. It did not end there. After that, Paula and Johnson became a sort of couple in the Regulators, and this was recognized by many.
In the summer of 2261, the Regulators began fighting in Rapid City once again. This campaign specifically was to clean out raiders and mutants near Rapid Valley and Vault 52. Paula wanted to take part in these battles but (through some string pulling from a concerned Johnson) was placed on watch at the clinic instead, near Radson. She was forced to languish there while Johnson and the rest of her squad were back fighting the enemy outside. In the clinic, Paula mostly watched over Radson and the rest of the injured and read her books in her free time.
Paula met many new people while stationed at the clinic, both from the ANA and new recruits from the outside. It was her job to make them feel as comfortable as possible and if necessary, make their passing bearable. However, the most significant encounter was with Adam Lietzen, a vault dweller turned slave who had been rescued from a Yen Boys encampment by Regulators. After being rescued, Lietzen was taken to Rapid Valley's clinic to be treated for malnutrition. He was placed in a bed across from Radson. That was how Lietzen first saw Paula, visiting Radson as she always did.
Paula was used to attention from the injured in the clinic, but Lietzen was different. The young chem-addled vault dweller seemed enamored with her, even trying to get closer to her by trying to make friends with the still mute Radson and making pipe weapons to impress her. Paula did not return Lietzen's affections, as she was still involved with Johnson but learned to tolerate him in order to visit Radson and the rest of the injured in the clinic.
By 2262, things had changed once again. Lietzen left the clinc to form Badlands Bulk Arms but still stalked Paula on occasion. ANA advisors from the north arrived to repurpose the Regulators into a proper army, so Paula was allowed to leave the clinic to take part in the new training. She was happy to see Johnson and Mark Hayes once again and be able to back in the field. In the Regulators barracks, the Regulators were introduced to the ANA specialist who would help train them, Sergeant Major Tom Renner. Paula was surprised that Renner was only a few years older than her and was further surprised when she found how already gruff he was. Also, some of the ANA specialists who came with Renner were ghouls and super mutants, which made much of Regulators uncomfortable.
Tom Renner started out strong, introducing himself and spelling out his goals for the Regulators. He wanted to make them into a real fighting force, able to go toe to toe with Custer, the Superiority, raiders, and the rest. These goals would be met through various changes in Regulator policy: more lax rules on training, recruiting, and more archaic "moral requirements". This irked Paula a bit but she saw it as necessary, seeing what had happened before. However, these changes Renner made Sergeant Johnson have a serious case of buyer's remorse and he often vented about Renner to Paula at night, saying he was a scoundrel, an innsufferable bastard, and that he violated the Regulators' founding principles. Paula did resent Renner's abrasive attitude and general disdain for the Regulators but still respected his tactics. His training, mostly based off of pre-War U.S. Army techniques, helped Paula and her squad immensely, and Renner had to be respected for that.
For better or worse, Paula was in favor of Renner's reforms. They yielded results after all. Paula assisted in pushing the vault dwellers further west away from Rapid Valley alongside Johnson (under the supervision of Sergeant Major Renner). It seemed that neither Custer or the Superiority were hindering the Regulators, so they continued their campaign, winning battle after battle against the raiders. Paula finally managed to connect with most of Johnson's squad besides Mark Hayes. It was a good time.
Another development in this time was Radson recovering. In February of 2263, Radson spoke his first words in almost three years, asking for some Pork 'n Beans from a nurse. This overjoyed Paula and she visited him again to celebrate, bringing along Johnson as well. She managed to obtain a cake, and they had a bit of a party, sharing it with many of the other injured in the clinic. Radson thanked Paula for her help over the years and even thanked Johnson for coming as well. For once, everyone seemed to get along.
The battles of the early 2260s were mostly successful, but Paula could tell bad things were happening behind the scenes between the battles. Johnson was becoming more and more aggravated at General Gregson and Sergeant Major Renner daily. It seemed like he was hiding something from Paula, and Johnson's secresy drove her up a wall. Radson, out of the clinic but still recovering, encouraged Paula to question Jonhson. This caused Johnson and Paula to have several noticeable spats in 2265 and 2266. Renner even took note of this and publicly asked Paula about her troubles before a skirmish near Vault 52 in the summer of 2265. Paula, flustered and embarrassed, socked Renner in the jaw and stormed off to another position, wanting to avoid a fight. Renner was noted to have said afterwards, "Hard hitter, that one." That was the last time they talked face to face for almost a year.
Events came to a head in the summer of 2266. Johnson seemed to definitely be on edge about something but now Renner also seemed nervous about something as well. Paula had given up trying to ask Johnson about what was wrong and just kept on fighting raiders, shoving her problems with Johnson and Renner in the back of her mind. This worked fine for a while.
In July of 2266, without warning, Sergeant Johnson was arrested for the vague accusation of "treason" by General Gregson. The entirety of Rapid Valley and all the Regulators were up in arms about it. Paula was confused and angry about the situation, not just at the General and Renner for arresting Johnson but also Johnson himself for withholding information that she knew was connected to his arrest in some way. Talking to Renner for the first time in almost a year, Paula asked if she could visit Johnson and talk to him. Renner refused her request and told her "everything had to be worked out first". Frustrated and angry, Paula was forced to spend the next few weeks on patrol venting her anger on raiders and mutants. Her squad was one of the few still operating as many of the Regulators had laid down their arms in solidarity with Sergeant Johnson. Her squadmates (excluding Mark Hayes) asked her if anything was wrong, but she remained quiet on the matter. They already knew, Paula knew, but they just wanted to confirm their assumptions. She would not prove them right.
In late August, the controversy finally came to an end. Sergeant Johnson "voluntarily" chose exile over execution for charges of treason against the Regulators and the ANA. Paula was stunned. Renner came to her while she was fuming in the barracks and told her she could visit Johnson in the cell block, finally.
The visit was less than productive. Johnson refused to talk about why he had been arrested and simply plead with Paula to come with him, saying he could explain everything if she just did that. This only angered Paula further as she did not want to be strung along anymore, and she just left Johnson then and there in his cell. Paula did not hate Johnson for his action, but she wanted to. Everyone was so angry about Johnson while Paula tried not to be. She was loyal to the Regulators and did not want leave Rapid Valley ultimately.
Several other Regulators in Mohicans Company felt much more strongly about the issue and decided to accompany Johnson into exile. Paula did consider that but again decided not to leave. She watched as the exiled Regulators left along with several others. Johnson mournfully looked back over his shoulder and looked squarely at Paula. That caused her to leave once again, unable to control herself.
In the next few months (which turned into years) Paula hid her internal anger about Johnson and her already present trauma by trying to suppress it through combat and taking psycho. Those were dark years for Paula and she became an almost different person, viciously cutting through raiders and mutants, as RUSA soldiers were now off limits. She pushed Radson, Hayes, and her own father away and seemed to just want to be left alone. This extended to Adam Lietzen as well, who had been secretly watching and stalking Paula since 2263. When Paula caught him peeking at her in the Regulators' latrines, she quite literally beat the piss out of him and had to be restrained by other Regulators. Things only worsened when she met some of the Rapid City Regulators, who she barely restrained herself from shooting.
One person to notice Paula's slow spiral into disaster was Tom Renner, the one responsible for Johnson leaving in the first place. Of course, he did not feel responsible or even want to, but Renner saw this person having their life fall apart as a result of what he had done as a waste of talent. He could care less about his actions.
However, Paula had different ideas. Paula's rage, confusion, and chem abuse pushed her into a dark place. On one mission in 2268, Paula and her squad skirmished with some Hammers and won. After the battle, a tribe of scavengers fell upon the Hammers' bodies to salvage equipment. Still on a mean Psycho high, Paula descended from her position in a ruined building and proceeded to massacre the mostly unarmed scavvers armed only with her combat knife. She tried to justify her actions by saying they were mutants, just like those super mutants.
After that incident, Paula was "put on probation" from the Dakota Regulators by Sergeant Hayes, her former friend, and forced to go cold turkey. Paula was also forced to stay at her father's house. This enraged Paula. She considered getting around the ban on chems by blackmailing Adam Lietzen into supplying her but decided against it. She could get chems herself.
2268 and 2269 would be long years for Paula. She was not allowed in combat for some reason, and even her own father seemed to have lost faith in her. She was a chem addled wreck. The only two people who still had faith in her were Daryl Radson, her old friend hoping and praying for a recovery, and oddly enough Tom Renner, who hated to see such a good soldier go to waste.
So, in early 2269, Tom Renner confronted Paula and told her that if she got her act together, he would put in a good word for her with General Gregson and Sergeant Hayes so she could rejoin the Regulators and serve. If she did not shape up, Renner told Paula she would never be welcome back.
This, combined with a particularly violent argument with Radson and her father, made Paula realize the extent of her problem that night. To not end up dead in a gutter, she needed to do something. And that was what Paula did.
Going back to her father, Paula apologized for her previous behavior and asked him for forgiveness. Her father was suspicious at first but soon broke down and forgave her. They would still argue after that, but never to the extent of before. She later also apologized to Radson, saying she did not deserve his kindness after "abandoning" him in the field and treating him so badly for the last few years. Radson then told her that without Paula's daily visits, he might have never left a bed or talked again. They two embraced and had a moment; just the two of them.
It took four months for Paula to fully recover. She had to get back in shape from two years of inactivity as well as getting off chems for good. With the help of her father and Radson, Paula ran every day and exercised to get back in peak condition.
In late 2269, Paula went to Renner and, as as a test, was taken outside Rapid Valley alongside Renner's Raiders and made to fight raiders. She performed admirably.
Renner then put in that good word to General Gregson, and she was put back in Mohicans Platoon actually in command of a young squad of recruits. This surprised Paula, who had never been in any leadership position, but it was done for a good purpose. The constant warfare had grinded down the Regulators badly, and Paula was one of the few Regulators left with more that a decade of experience. She was anxious being squad leader at first but got over it as time went on.
The new recruits under Paula were a willful bunch, always poking fun at her anxiety, questioning her authority, and even saying she was weak because she was a woman. Paula tried to be patient at first, but after an entire week of insubordination, Paula snapped and made an example out of one the recruits, beating him up and humilating him in front of the rest of the recruits. They either snapped into shape after that or died fighting raiders.
Paula led her squad against a few raider gangs and mutants in Rapid City, but the real test came when the news came in late 2269. The Wilson Gang, a notorious gang of bandits originally from North Dakota, had arrived north of Rapid City and were camped out just beyond the city limits. They had to be destroyed before they established themselves in Rapid City. While everyone was preparing for the attack, Paula and her squad were joined by a surprising new member: Daryl Radson, claiming to be fully recovered and a Regulator once again.
This put Paula a bit on edge, since she was worried that Radson's severe trauma attacks and previous relation to her would mess with squad cohesion. Nevertheless, she accepted the move and prepared to take on the Wilson Gang.
Under the cover of nightfall, Mohicans Platoon moved squad by squad out of Rapid Valley and stealthily crept through Rapid City avoiding traps, mutants, and known raider gangs. Arriving outside the city, the Regulators spotted the Wilson Gang's campfires two miles out of town. They spread out to encircle the gang.
Paula took her squad all the way around the gang's camp, opposite the city. However, before the trap could be sprung, a sentry sighted a few Regulators skirting around the camp and alerted the Wilson Gang. After that, the battle was on.
At the beginning of battle, the Wilson Gang was able to react very quickly to the Regulators' attack and managed to make a line of defense in their camp. They even managed to kill some Regulators with their pistols and rifles. Some of Paula's squad specifically. This did not bode well for the Wilson Gang.
Seeing squad members die again brought back memories in Paula that she had bottled up for far too long. The bloodlust was upon her, and her adrenaline kicked in. Yelling for her soldiers to "follow her", Paula charged across no-man's land into the Wilson Gang's camp, gunning down those in front of her with the help of her squad with maximum prejudice. The rest of the Regulators along with Renner's Raiders saw this and decided to charge as well with surprisingly low casualties. The Wilson Gang's lines crumpled.
The fight inside the camp was vicious. Paula used her combat knife in close quarters and gained most of her wounds going hand to hand with the Wilson's Gang, most armed with knives or machetes. Near the end of the battle in her bloodlust, Paula had pinned down a member of the Wilson Gang who had fled out of the camp and was about to gut him with her knife. However, before she did this, her bloodlust wore off. She did not see an enemy anymore but instead a man terrified of her. Of what I've become. She thought of this as rather hypocritical later, as she had killed tens, maybe a hundred raiders and mutants before that and not batted a eye at it. It was just too much for her at the time. Coming to this realization, she let the man (Benjamin Renner) go and returned to the camp where the rest of the Regulators were. There, she was welcomed back as a hero.
The battle was resounding success. The preliminary plan had failed, but Paula's charge had broken the Wilson Gang's lines and snatched victory from the claws of defeat. For this and her previous combat experience, Paula was promoted to head squad commander in Mohicans Platoon, a position just below sergeant. Everyone congratulated Paula on her promotion, and she was happy for it. However, she had a nagging feeling in the back of her head. That she had given up chems but not her violent nature.
Nevertheless, Paula put up a brave face for the rest of the Regulators. After the captured members of the Wilson's Gang were hanged, there was a huge celebration in the town square of Rapid Valley over this victory over such a feared enemy who escaped the justice of the Great Raider Wars. Paula drank deeply during the celebration to cover up her anxiety and became very drunk along with Radson and the rest of her squad. Commander Gregson congratulated her on her promotion and told her she had a lot of potential. This made Paula positively glow.
However, as the celebration raged on and dancing began, Paula spied a single figure slumped against a table not taking part of the festivities. Lumbering over, Paula found Tom Renner, also drunk, sitting on the ground watching festivities from afar. Paula asked Renner what was wrong with him and after a few hiccups, Tom Renner explained. The battle against the Wilson Gang had been a personal affair for Renner, as his parents and brothers had been slain by them. They were the reason he had joined the ANA in the first place. However, the final battle against them had not satisfied Renner. He felt unfulfilled, like his revenge hadn't really accomplished anything.
At that, Paula stopped him mid-sentence with a big kiss on the mouth. This surprised Renner, but he decided to just go with it. One thing led to another, and the next morning the two woke up side by side in bed in Renner's personal quarters. Adam Lietzen watched the whole affair.
Renner woke up first and had a quick "oh shit" moment when he saw Paula beside him. He shook Paula awake only to be shooshed by Paula, who had just realized the calamity of the situation. The two, both a bit embarrassed, agreed to sneak out, with Renner leaving his room first followed by Paula who went back to her own quarters. Luckily, almost everyone was still asleep from the celebrations the day before and the only ones to see them were two members of Renner's Raiders who Renner later swore to secresy.
After the Wilson Gang's downfall, things calmed once again, with only the occasional fight with raiders or mutants in Rapid City. Renner still schemed on taking down Custer and the RUSA, but nothing concrete materialized, at least yet. Paula's new position as head squad commander mostly took her out of direct combat and made her interact more with the Regulators' leadership. However, she did insist on taking part in a few actions, most notably taking out a Rapid City Regulator that had killed a Rapid Valley merchant for unknown reasons. After that incident, Paula gained her iconic suit of advanced riot armor as a thanks.
For most of the leadership of the Regulators, positions of power made them less moralistic and more pragmatic. Oddly enough for Paula, it was the opposite. Although she maintained a cool face and stoic attitude, Paula also began appealing for more hardline stances on the Regulators founding morals of justice and mercy, as her change of heart with the Wilson Gang had taught her. This only increased in 2272 when General Gregson died, Sergeant Hayes became General of the Regulators, and Paula became Sergeant of Mohicans Company.
She was Sergeant Hopper now, and she had set an moral standard for her soldiers to look up. This included sparing non-combatants in raider camps, taking an even more hardline stance on slavery, and clamping down on chem usage in the Regulators. This last one was especially ironic not only because of Paula's history with psycho but also her usage of alcohol at that time stem her anxiety and trauma. Many people worried that Paula might try to promote Radson to squad commander or even head squad commander because of his "damaged state" but she did not, knowing the pressure of leadership would make him snap.
This increasingly moralistic approach alienated Tom Renner and Renner's Raiders, and they mostly began to operate on their own, feeling the Regulators (or at least Mohicans Platoon) would only slow them down. This caused some initial disagreements between Renner and Hopper over coordination, but that was nothing compared to the arguments between General Hayes and Renner, who had a vehement dislike for each other. Because of the two's lack of agreement over what to do, little was accomplished during Hayes' time as General compared to Hopper's later.
Ascension and Conflict[]
In late 2273, General Mark Hayes fell in battle against the Yen Boys near Vault 52, leaving the position of General up for grabs. The positively ancient Sergeant Beau Neill conceded the position to Paula Hopper. This surprised everyone, as everyone had expected the older Neill to snap up the position immediately. Paula hesitantly accepted the position and moved into the General's quarters. Again, many of the Regulators came to congratulate her, including Radson.
After most of them had left, Sergeant Renner emerged out of the shadows chuckling under his breath. Renner said he was happy for Hopper that she had gained the postion but now, they needed to talk about the future, of the Regulators and the ANA. The two talked for hours about the threats and issues facing them. This discussion turned into an argument when Renner brought up the Superiority, which Hopper still hated. That argument became the first of many. The two grew antagonistic towards each other but still retained some degree of respect. In particular, Hopper was critical of Renner's positively brutal tactics, which Renner shrugged off.
However, General Hopper and Sergeant Renner could at least get themselves out of gridlock and do something, unlike Hayes and Renner. This was best demonstrated when it was found that Vault 52 had become occupied and fortified by Custer's American Army in 2276. Renner and Hopper both had differing ideas on how to resolve the problem. General Hopper, with advice from some other Regulators, wanted to solve the problem peacefully and get Custer to leave through intimidation. On the other hand, Renner wanted to attack Vault 52 disguised as raiders so they could make sure it it was gone while not starting an all out war. The two could not quite agree what to do, so Renner sent a letter to ANA high command asking what to do.
Their response was that Renner and Hopper should just pay raiders to do the job. Neither liked this idea as both of them knew the raiders in Rapid City were unreliable and worse, talkative. In the end, they decided on Renner's plan, as that would be the only way to take the base out for sure. Also, Hopper told Renner in order to do this, Renner's Raiders would have to leave Rapid Valley (and Rapid City) to cover up the Regulators' involvement in the attack. Renner agreed.
General Hopper and the Regulators took no part in the Battle of Vault 52, staying in Rapid Valley twiddling their thumbs. With little more than a goodbye and a wave, Renner's Raiders left. It all felt so sudden.
Paula earned another punch in the stomach in 2277 when her father died after a long fight against liver cancer. She mourned him greatly. Paula mourned less when she heard Johnson had died in exile while fighting for the Rapid City Regulators. She felt only a bit of a connection to him anymore.
As the Rapid City Regulators stumbled, the Hammers raider gang left their junkyard to pilfer the Rapid City Regulators' safe houses. Not wanting the Hammers to gain such power, the Regulators, covertly helped by the Superiority and openly helped by the Rapid City Regulators, smashed the Hammers in battle, pushed them back to their junkyard, and destroyed them. It was a costly victory and was not celebrated.
The year 2280 was hard for Paula Hopper, as it was for many in the Badlands Territory.
The Generals War[]
In the first months of 2280, Paula was seeing an escalation in hostilities. Custer's American Army was hunting Rockers (allies of the ANA), mutants were mobilizing, and all the Regulators were feeling uneasy. The RUSA, specifically a Colonel Dan, was looking for evidence for ANA involvement in the Battle of Vault 53. General Hopper considered stepping in but decided not to. This proved to be a fatal mistake. Paula's problems were only compounded when she heard of Tom Renner's death in the north at the hands of raiders. Publically, she did not show she cared but privately, with Daryl Radson, she mourned his death as the passing of a remarkable man.
General Custer figured out that the Rockers were working with the ANA when they attacked Vault 52 and took this as an act of war. RUSA forces first acted by assaulting all of the Regulators' positions outside Rapid Valley, hoping to wipe them out there. This succeeded due to the element of surprise, and the Regulators sustained huge casualties, being forced back to Rapid Valley. Paula put up a stout defense on the town's walls to keep the RUSA out. Also, Custer wiped out whatever remained of the Rapid City Regulators, adding to General Hopper's chagrin.
For the next year, a siege raged around Rapid Valley. Paula kept up morale in Rapid Valley through food drives, special events, and even target shootings. She even went on a date with Adam Lietzen to ensure the loyalty of Badlands Bulk Arms, though nothing came of it. This succeeded, even as casualty numbers mounted. General Hopper worried every night about what might happen if Custer's American Army broke through. Luckily, the Regulators managed to repulse every attack made on Rapid Valley.
In the spring of 2281, ANA reinforcements, Renner's Raiders, and allied raiders broke the siege on Rapid Valley and relieved the Regulators. From there, the Regulators prepared for the inevitable next siege while sending out the occasional patrol alongside Renner's Raiders to assist raiders in fighting Custer. General Hopper absolutely hates working with Rapid City's raiders and lets Renner's Raiders do the dirty work of collaborating with them. She does however feel that it is necessary for Rapid Valley's survival against the RUSA.
Also, as the Generals War had dragged on, Hopper has become progressively more acquainted with General Marcus Williams, the General of the Army of the North, through letters. General Williams had heard Hopper was an uncontrollable beast and was surprised by her rather articulate letters sent at the advent of the war. Ever since then, the two have been in touch and Williams continues to stick up for Paula among ANA high command.
Although times are rough, Paula has been probably the most decisive leader the Regulators have ever had, and internal conflict is at an all time low while morale is still very high. This gives Paula hope for the future, however grim the past has been for her.
Personality[]
The personality of Paula Hopper is a nebulous one, but she is most well known for her stoicism and calculation. She tries not to show emotion but sometimes does, either snapping and having an episode or showing an act of genuine kindness. This has made any relationship hard for Hopper, so she currently prefers to be alone most of time. This alone time is mostly spent reading, venting, or thinking. She maintains an image of honesty, kindness, and toughness for her people to aspire to.
However, Paula's years of combat and personal trauma have worn on her psyche quite a bit, adding to her anger issues. Before becoming stoic, Paula had a history of violence and anger, which she mostly vented on the battlefield. She tries to control this through the use of alcohol, chems, and meditation at different points, but none of them served as permanent solutions to her problems. The only thing that makes her even a bit happier is being in combat and that is seen as unhealthy by most of her friends, family, and even other soldiers.
Relationships[]
Paula Hopper has had various relationships in her time, some friendly, some romantic. Her most long standing friendship is with her last living squadmate, Daryl Radson. Hopper regards Radson as the kind thoughtful brother she never had, taking care of him after his own traumatic experience. She watches out for Radson, just as he did for her so many years ago. Almost all of Paula's friendships have been with men, a running theme throughout her life. This might be either be because of being raised mostly by her father, her general lack of feminity, or her service in a mostly male group (Dakota Regulators).
Her romantic relationships have been far less stable or healthy. Her first love was the young defiant Sergeant Johnson, who she looked up to for leadership (and companionship) after most of her squad was killed, and Radson became withdrawn. She and Johnson eventually became something of a couple but before it could become permanent, the rugged Tom Renner stormed into Hopper's life in 2260. At first, Hopper hated Renner for his domineering and uptight attitude but liked his reforms. Her opinion of him took a nosedive after Johnson was banished. However, this eventually morphed into a love-hate relationship later as both Renner and Hopper became increasingly frustrated with each other when Hopper became a sergeant. Nothing was ever offical between the two.
Bringing up the rear was Adam Lietzen, a former vault dweller turned owner of Badlands Bulk Arms. Brought to Rapid Valley as a captive, Lietzen was infatuated with Hopper as soon as he saw her and created BBA specifically to impress her. At the time, Hopper ignored Lietzen as Johnson and Renner were still her primary concerns, with his stalking being an occasional annoyance. However, Lietzen had the advantage of safety within Rapid Valley, outliving the other two contenders with Johnson dying in exile in 2277 and Renner dying in battle against the CLA in 2280. Hopper gives Lietzen some attention, even the occasional date, but does it mostly to humor him and will never commit to anything serious. Lietzen seems not to care all too much.
Appearance[]
Paula Hopper is unusually tall for a woman, which sets her apart in a crowd. Hopper has blonde hair and pale skin, punctuated by several scars from battlefield wounds. She dresses like the other Dakota Regulators with a white outer clothing and body armor underneath. She sometimes wears advanced riot gear in battle, which is painted white to match the rest of the Dakota Regulators.
Equipment[]
Hopper's primary weapon is a laser rifle while other weapons include a combat shotgun, and a combat knife. She rarely carries stimpaks and often has painkillers and some other medicine on the battlefield. Hooper often carries a radio on her, to stay in contact with the ANA.
