Courier

The  is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Courier Six (By default, though the name is customizable) 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 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 Courier Six a weapon, 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 then given training by Sunny Smiles and fends the towns water supply from gecko's. Sunny trains him in different ways before he leaves Goodsprings in pursuit of Benny.

Courier Six 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.

When Courier Six is talking to Bruce Issac in Novac, a dialog option suggests that the courier has been to New Reno before.

Appearances
Courier Six appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
