What's your courier's story?

[👽GLEEPUS👽]

With FNV being a roleplaying game (I know, it's very surprising), the character you play as is obviously portrayed in whatever way YOU want through gameplay, perks, dialogue, armor/clothing and weapon choice, and of course our own imaginations, which is arguably a very important feature in games like this.

With that being said, I finally started a new playthrough of this game and decided to play as a city slicker NCR aligned ghoul character. So what about your own characters? Genuinely curious to hear about this

[NightmareGats]

He was a courier with some past that happened in loadsome road, then he went to deliver a package, got shot in the head and woke up in a doctor's bed.

1. The Company Leader (Male)

A no-nonsense and tough undercover NCR Captain who was tasked with courier work, but unfortunately got shot in the head after intercepting Mr House's package with the platinum chip. Now healed, he is going back to the frontlines to fight the good fight and to kill Benny.

[Vex Hilarius]

In the first age in the first battle when the nuclear winter first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of armageddon his soul blistered by the radiation and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment.

In his ravenous hatred he found no peace and with boiling blood he scoured the wastes seeking vengeance against the man in the checkered suit who had wronged him.

He wore his canvas bag of the Mojave Express, and those who tasted the bite of his .357 Magnum named him...

Todd Howard.

[NecroMaster]

I have 8 couriers but I feel the most canon courier to this game is Darren Everette since this game inspired me to make this character whom I would also use in the other fallout games.

Darren is a character whose alignment falls in with neutral good.

He has no regard for being restricted by rules of law that hinder the greater good but doesn’t go out of his way to break them if no good can be gained from it.

His entire gimmick in combat is to have all his skills revolve around use of 1 handed pistols he’s also not bad in a fistfight.

Another unique thing about Darren is he’s also very fit to be the main character in fallout 3 and 4 because he does not utilize companions because he’s afraid to get attached not only to any 1 place but to any 1 person as well the only exception i make is dog meat though who is not present in this game.

Darren has a strong thirst for justice as well cause no matter where he goes he can’t leave well enough alone if he feels someone is being victimized.

This character embodies kindness untethered at the price of loneliness.

Character inspired by the Lone Ranger with the big iron on his hip.

[Nico Nico Knee]

i usually write a full backstory but for my current low INT character he was just a regular wasteland courier who received permanent brain damage from the bullet and is now both completely insane and incredibly stupid (not allowing myself to make the smart choice for anything)

[Slithers]

An NCR fugitive, whose in good standing with the other motley crew's and downtrodden of New Vegas. He hides out in Nipton, someones gotta check on Boxcars. Sometimes you can catch him in that abandoned house in North Vegas, just before the Canyon Wreckage. His favorite place is at The Gomorrah, cheapest booze and chem's in all of Vegas!

Not an idiot, but impressionable. He meets a guy like Samuel Cooke, well he's inspired...
He meet's Jack and Diane, he thinks he's hanging with the cool kids.
If he's selling chem's to Motor-Runner, or doing errands for Eddie at the NCR Correctional facility, he feel's alive, it's what he lives for.
When he's walking threw Freeside and getting respect from the King's, he feel's like somebody.

I hope the Old World Gourmet, Daytripper, Fight The Power, and Mister Sandman perks, can tell you a more little about his character.

[Pawtastic]

Had good relationships with every faction, joined The Kings and got a lot of caps by gambling

[I Can Levitate And Kill People]

I'm Coconut Johnny

[mutations o.k.]

my history goes way back, my name is random wizzard, and i once started an adventure as a barbarian, then more adventures as a thief, then suddenly psychopath murderer. always try to kill the rats first.
waking up in fallout new vega's, i try to stay true to the expectancies of the peoples, so i join them in killing and using the substances of the land. along the way i make friends and send them away because they're not safe with me. loot is a priority and most often the big loot is in a dangerous area, so i try to shoot first and maybe ask questions.
repair skill makes a lot of sense, because when you look around almost everything is broken.
get it to 70. then lockpick always helps, get to 75. guns and not energy weapons, because that is more old scool. melee weapon because backstab sneaking is cool. usually, gamble at casino's for all implants. then hollow points and AP rounds. still looking for a nice spot to hang out, maybe with a campfire and some personal storage nearby.
