Courier

The  is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Courier (By default, their name appears to be literally "Courier Six", 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 the Courier 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 the Courier in different ways before leaving Goodsprings in pursuit of Benny.

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.
