Sole Survivor

The Sole Survivor is the player character and main protagonist in Fallout 4. Depending on the player's choice, the Sole Survivor is either Howard or Nora, a pre-War married couple.

Background
The Sole Survivor is spending a pleasant Saturday morning with their partner and child. They then get accepted into Vault 111 by a Vault-Tec representative after verification. The protagonist briefly spends time with their infant son, Shaun, only moments before the alarms ring out to signal a nuclear attack. The family then sprints towards the vault, along with the other neighbors, and a nuclear bomb detonates near their position as they wait for Vault 111's hatch to open. The protagonist survives the blast and is lowered into the vault. Two hundred years later, for currently unknown reasons, the protagonist emerges from Vault 111 as the sole survivor.

Appearances
The Sole Survivor appears only in Fallout 4.
