Courier

The  is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Courier is simply, as the name implies, a courier carrying a parcel across the Mojave desert. Left for dead in a shallow grave, the Courier is dug out by Victor, a friendly robot, 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 will now have to find out who tried to kill him/her and what exactly was in the package he/she was carrying.

The Courier is 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 their appearance and gender.

The Courier is not believed to have been born in a vault, but in early gameplay images he is seen wearing a Vault 21 uniform.
