Bio :
Ken Uston is a courier since his young age without a great natural charisma, he knows how to barter his pay for all his contracts. Intelligent and always wanting to know more, he uses his job to find and learn new knowledge about the Wasteland in general. He learned how to avoid hot spots and how to make his way in difficult areas. He doesn't hesitate to pick up and even steal valuable items when he found some to improve his pay.
Ken met a mojave weapon shop keeper who made a deal with him. If he would deliver a package to his son, the shop keeper would teach him how to handle, repair and customize energy weapons from the laser pistol to the plasma cannon. After this deal, Ken chose to only use and trust the weapons he knows and works on himself.
Eight years ago he lost his family after a Great Khans raid. He swore he will avenge his wife and daughter one day.
After this loss, he started drinking and spend a lot of time in New Vegas Strip during his free time.
Six years ago, after a few drinks at the Gomorrah, he bought a few chips and gambled them on a Blackjack game. He lost all his savings this night.
After this day, he would go spend his pay right away at the nearest casino and try to get some money back. Sometimes his pay isn't enough. He find then a way to get some chips.
He learned how to get caps from stolen items and even killed some thugs to obtain what he needed.
When he is on the road, he enjoys spending time with the merchants. He learn with them a game he never heard of before : Caravan. Like for gambling, Ken was quickly addicted to caravan and has to play whenever he can.

Caravan game :
You'll have to satisfy your gambling addiction even far away from Casinos. You'll play every Caravan player encountered. You have to win or leave after losing all your caps to continue your adventure.
After you first game of Caravan, your main objective will be to have your own deck. Until you get one, all main and side quest are meaningless and paused.
Once you have your own deck you'll want to get the best Card. Buy all the cards you found. If you see a card you can't afford, find an other way to own it. You must own the best Deck by any means.
Caravan is Only one part of your addiction. You cannot compromise a Casino for a card.
In the Wasteland :
You'll use mainly Energy Weapons and some Explosives, and you will always prefer the ones you modded yourself. You may use other Weapons only if needed by a quest or if you loose your main weapons.
You are always trying to find a better pay so do not hesitate to steal/open/loot except around/in gambling locations.
Each time you see a Great Khans member, you will kill him and enjoy this little piece of revenge. Have fun with your weapons, be creative ! Your end game objective is too kill a maximum of them.
Every time you see wastelanders fighting against raiders you'll try to help and kill the raiders. You do not want them to break another family.
Every time you find unusable slots or gambling table you have to stay nearby for +/- 15s to search for chips/cards.
If you are under attack, you're allowed to take cover. Once you're sure there is nothing here or you picked up everything, you can engage.
