Character

Characters are the representations of persons in works of art. In the Fallout series, the term refers to the various inhabitants of the Wasteland. Characters can be divided into non-player characters (NPCs), mentioned-only characters (MOCs) and player characters (PCs).

Non-player character
A non-player character is an AI-controlled character that the player can interact with. In the Gamebryo games, NPCs are pre-programmed via "packages" in the GECK editor.

Mentioned-only character
A mentioned-only character is any person that does not actually appear in a game, and is mentioned in conversation with NPCs, on holodisks, notes, terminals, or any other source in the specific game.

Player character
The player character is a player's avatar in the game world. These can be designed by them, but some of the games offer pre-designed player characters as well. Player characters' decisions make a dramatic impact on the wasteland and its inhabitants.
