Courier

The  is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Courier is simply, as the name implies, a delivery person hired by the Mojave Express, and was carrying a parcel containing a platinum chip across the Mojave Wasteland from Primm to New Vegas. Shot in the head, left for dead, and buried alive in a shallow grave in the Goodsprings Graveyard with the assassin - Benny taking the parcel, the Courier is dug out by Victor, a friendly Securitron, and nursed back to health by Doctor Mitchell; doctor of the town of Goodsprings, who gives the Courier a 9mm Pistol, a Vault 21 jumpsuit, and a Pip-Boy 3000. The Courier must find the would-be assassin and discover the significance of the mysterious package.

The Courier is slightly more customizable than the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3, and is more akin to the Chosen One and the Vault Dweller. It is possible to edit the Courier's age as well as his or her appearance and gender. It is also thought that Dogmeat (Fallout 3) and Rex could somehow be related as they could be from the same litter of one of Dogmeat's descendants, giving the imprecision that Dogmeat's family ( or some parts), coincidentally serves the main protagonist throughout the Fallout series.

Appearances
The Courier appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
