FO4 COMPANION MOODBOARDS: Paladin Danse

the doctor is in

Deacon legit walked up to this and stuck his head in.

sloppy doodle to celebrate getting all achievements in new vegas 💃

insp:

i started playing NV for the first time... i love him

I headcanon Danse has environmental agoraphobia post blind betrayal.

In a close space he at least knows he can’t be fully ambushed. There are limited spaces and ways to maneuver, control of your surroundings is key to him. Open spaces lead to problems. So many angles of attack, too many things to scan for and too many things to keep track of. He prefers to set perimeters and keep them, he’s reconnaissance not a patrol guy.

He likely has to wear his power armor less to realistically maintain it without the tech from the Prydwen. He’d be in basic armor and much less defended when he’s questing with the Sole Survivor. Danse would feel so exposed and less intimidating despite his physique. He’s used to towering over enemies and plowing through them in his armor. He’s no slouch in a fight but it’s much easier to damage to him. Much harder for him to defend his allies.

I think he’d be visibly uncomfortable and tense out in the open. You can tell he’s trying to hide it but his eyes are always darting and he can’t stop checking over his shoulder.

Achilles Come Down is Danse/Blind Betrayal coded send tweet

Funny Familiarity

For context: I posted a head-canon a few days ago, on how Danse actually ended up in the brotherhood of steel as a synth despite not being sent as a spy but instead is listed as "missing". It's probable he ran away from the institute where the railroad helped him escape, with Deacon knowing about the case.

I'm so obsessed with this idea now so read below for any thoughts or further hc's i had when making this. Or ask me anything about this hc i am going cray cray. sorry if this is ooc i'm bad at characters.

ty to @ericadrawsstuff for your addon btw!! it fueled me to draw this haha

For Danse, I don't believe he was a courser but maybe a failed experimental synth/synth meant for manual labor? The institute would probably be in a panic if a courser with a courser chip went awol, they'd probably take notice if the same missing courser became the poster boy of the people whose trying to destroy them.

Danse stayed in the railroad for a bit, like maybe 5 months? Formed a somewhat close bond with Deacon who was "Debbie" at the time.

Deacon loves collecting sunglasses, was toying with the idea of being a woman when he found novelty heart sunglasses. I see him as identifying as male but really flexible when it comes to presenting himself.

Obsessed with the idea that despite being reset/memories wiped synths may carry flaws or mannerisms. In Danse's case his fierce loyalty and self sacrifice are his major flaws, pre-wipe he didn't want to be a danger to the railroad and felt he needed to be wiped, post-blind betrayal he felt like he was a danger to the brotherhood and needed to be killed.

Deacon's a good liar sometimes, but in the cases where Danse says something against synths his hands clench and has to lean on a wall to catch his breath while the sides of him fight in his head. The first side is the railroad agent who has huge empathy for M7-97 and knows that if his identity is revealed it'll absolutely ruin him and get maimed by the brotherhood, the other side of him is absolutely disgusted by Danse and wants to put him in his place, the 3rd just thinks it'll be funny.

I depicted Nora as how I'd imagine she'd be. A woman from a pre-war era being dropped in a wasteland, it's kind of a culture shock for her and she has a savior complex, she assumes that everyone just needs to sit down and talk. Her main goal is to somehow "unite" the commonwealth, she's joined all the factions and some of her companions are kind of peeved about it. In the comic she introduced Deacon to Danse thinking they could have a civil conversation where Deacon could steer him to a better mindset (she sees Danse as a kid who got into the wrong crowd, despite being a fully grown man)

okay jesus, this took like 3 days of non stop drawing for me to do. Whoever designed power Armour i pray for your downfall what the hell. Sorry if it looks bad i study software so I haven't gotten the chance to draw in like, 7 months. Can you tell which pose I was able to find refs for and not the rest? lol

I ship them now too, i've been researching them and I love their dynamic and damn if the plot "Person A knew Person B before Person B forgot them and became a different person" doesn't hit like a ton of bricks.

Danse: I'm going to be honest here, I was a little nervous about having this meeting.

Maxson: Relax Paladin, the Brotherhood accepts gay men.

Danse, lying: That's great... but I'm not gay?

Maxson, stopping mid wine pour: ....I don't believe that.

"Hey, circuit board~ Are you new in town?" 👠✨️

Laugh

I have a special talent that turns company time into art of my wife

Why so sad, Johnny D?

brainrotting per usual but deacon’s last affinity dialogue in fo4 is my favorite in the entire game

if you accuse him of lying about his late synth wife and the bigot gang he was a part of he snaps and gets short with you, and the conversation is over. this is one of the only times he does this and his tone about it is weird

the entire game he has shown himself off to be a massive liar, so naturally you have a hard time trusting the shit he says, even he says himself to not trust everyone. but when he finally starts to open up after traveling, if you don’t believe him he’s like “i fucking knew it, forget it,” and he’s not snapping at the player here, rather himself because he knows he’s not trustworthy. he will always be seen as the liar no one can trust, and he’s lost sight of who he actually is completely.

i also love when you switch him out for mac and mac essentially calls him out for running away from himself, “still pretending to be someone you’re not?” I feel like people constantly see deacon as a one dimensional character cause “oh he’s the liar secret railroad agent” but he’s so much more than that

She had a smile like on those old magazine covers.
