Courier

The Courier is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Courier is one of seven Couriers hired by the Mojave Express and was carrying a parcel containing a platinum chip across the Mojave Wasteland from Primm to New Vegas. He/She was shot in the head, left for dead, buried alive in a shallow grave in the Goodsprings Cemetery with the assassin, Benny, taking the parcel. The Courier is dug out by Victor, a friendly Securitron, and nursed back to health by Doc Mitchell, resident doctor of Goodsprings. Doc Mitchell gives the Courier a Vault 21 jumpsuit, a Pip-Boy 3000, and a 9mm pistol or Laser Pistol depending on the players guns and energy weapons skill. If Explosives is a tagged skill, then you will also receive 16 sticks of dynamite. If the Melee Weapons skill is tagged, he gives you a straight razor. If Unarmed is tagged, you get boxing gloves unless melee is also tagged.

The Courier must find the assassin and discover the significance of the mysterious package.

After finding and deciding to either kill or release Benny, the Courier meets and joins up with either the New California Republic, Caesar's Legion, Mr. House, or Yes Man, following differing quests until a final battle at Hoover Dam. Once the main quest has been completed, the game will end.

The Courier is slightly more customizable than the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3, with the option to edit the Courier's age.
