Sole Survivor

The Sole Survivor is the player character and main protagonist $$ Depending on the player character's gender, the Sole Survivor is either the husband or wife in a pre-War family and has a son, Shaun.

Background
The Sole Survivor is either a male retired U.S. Army veteran or a female lawyer. According to pre-War records of the Lookout at the USS Constitution, Nate served in the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment, while Nora was a lawyer (specifically a graduate of the Suffolk County School of Law). If one of these characters is the protagonist, the player chooses the name, but the spouse names are either (Nate) or (Nora) respectively.

At some point during the Resource Wars, the Sole Survivor married, had a son named Shaun and bought a robotic butler named Codsworth. On October 23, 2077, the Sole Survivor was preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall in Concord, when a Vault-Tec representative approached the family with pre-approved papers for access into Vault 111. Moments later, a newsreader announced that nuclear detonations were being reported, forcing the Sole Survivor and their family to rush to Vault 111. They were then sealed in cryogenic stasis under the pretense of being "decontaminated" by Vault-Tec scientists.

The Sole Survivor and their spouse are reawakened by two seen unknown individuals and one off-screen, who open the spouse's cryogenic tube with the intent of kidnapping Shaun. Though conscious, the Sole Survivor is trapped in their cryogenic pod and is powerless to do anything but watch their spouse being shot and their child abducted by two mysterious figures. The Sole Survivor is refrozen, awakening on October 10, 2287 and escaping the cryogenic tube. Learning that they are the sole survivor of Vault 111, the Sole Survivor emerges from the vault and vows to avenge their spouse's death and locate Shaun.
