Carbon Costume

A new TV series has been going viral online for its spot-on live action adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. This series depicts the aftermath of The Great War of 2077, where survivors take refuge in fallout shelters or Vaults, which are actually all created as different experiments on the people who live in them. It follows a woman named Lucy who leaves Vault 33 to find her father in the dangerous wasteland of what is left of Los Angeles. She runs into a Ghoul bounty hunter, originally named Cooper Howard and a member of the Brotherhood of Steel named Maximus.

To dress like Maximus in his all-black costume when he’s on the go, wear a black collared coat/ jacket and black utility pants, or black coveralls which give the same effect. Underneath that, wear a wine red shirt with the collar and cuffs peeking out under the jacket or sleeves. Wear black combat boots and a black harness that attaches to a black utility/ tactical belt.

While initially harsh and biting, she develops a soft side, which the player will see if romancing her. Stay on her good side and she’ll come to respect you as a leader.
