Courier

The  is the player character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Courier is simply, as the name implies, a delivery person hired by the Mojave Express, and was carrying a parcel with a platinum chip and some NCR war documents across the Mojave Wasteland to Primm. Left for dead and buried alive in a shallow grave with the assassin taking the parcel, the Courier is dug out by Victor, a friendly Securitron, 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.

Appearances
The Courier appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
