Sole Survivor



The Sole Survivor is the player character and main protagonist in Fallout 4. Depending on the player's gender selection, the Sole Survivor is either the husband or wife in a pre-War family and has a son, Shaun.

Background
Note: Depending on player choice, the male Sole Survivor is a retired army veteran while the female has no military background to speak of.

At some point during the Sino-American War, the Sole Survivor married their spouse and gave birth to their son, Shaun. On the morning of October 23rd, 2077, the Survivor was preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall when a Vault-Tec representative approached the family and approved them for admittance into Vault 111. Mere moments later, a news bulletin warned of an imminent nuclear attack, forcing the Survivor and their family to rush to the vault, where they're temporarily trapped outside when a nuke detonates nearby. Luckily, the platform below them was lowered just in time, and the family along with all of the other residents were placed in cryo sleep. Over two hundred years, the Sole Survivor is the only one to emerge from the Vault 111.

Appearances
The Sole Survivor appears only in Fallout 4.
