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 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 him in different ways before he leaves 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.

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

Appearances
The Courier appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
