oh dang I forgot FONV had a perk called "Terrifying Presence". fuck, that works so well for Blackstar.
like I can jusut imagine her taking off her mask, shuddering as she takes in all the scents she normally dulls herself to with said rebreather, and snarls in rage, baring her gleaming, razor sharp teeth, gold eyes narrowing to slits as she does the lines that come along with it.
...it was especially satisfying when using it on the BoS murdering fucks who wiped out the Followers' outpost in Veronica's questline.
(that's why she wears a rebreather or mask of some kind all the time. She's not entirely human, and her senses are extremely heightened, so it's like a sensory overload if she's not wearing a mask to dull her sense of smell at least. Loud sounds used to hurt her, but she's deadened that by using lots of loud guns and having to live around a very loud society. It makes her especially thankful of peace and quiet, and the sounds of nature.)
