Fallout is a series of games that have been around since the 1990s, and it has been constantly updated and improved over the course of history. The topic of Fallout has always been about survival in the American wasteland 200 years after the nuclear bomb fell, but with only the culture of the 1950s.
Many Americans in the game have futurism and fantasies about the future world. But in reality, they can only survive by relying on the Vaults built by the company Vault-Tec. Although these Americans have lived in Vaults for nearly 200 years, the continent has become a hell. Because of the influence of radiation, people and animals have also mutated.
When the radiation level stabilizes, these Americans will begin to resume their lives. At this time, some Vaults Dwellers will stand out, use their own Fallout 76 Items, and become the protagonists of each Fallout. This guide lists ten representative protagonists. Come and take a look!
Cyrus
- First appearance in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
Brotherhood of Steel is one of the many militias in the wasteland. It was founded by former US Army officer Captain Roger Maxon to protect people who survived the fallout and preserve technology. In Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, I will introduce its new member Cyrus.
Cyrus grew up in a farming community, which made him tough and strong when fighting against irradiated animals or attackers. He is tall and muscular, and can use a variety of weapons, but his favorite is close combat.
Lucy
- First appearance in Fallout TV series
Unlike Cyrus, Lucy appeared in a TV series. In Amazon’s Fallout, Lucy MacLean was originally just a citizen of Vault 33, and her knowledge of the outside world only existed in stories and books. After her vault was invaded and her father was kidnapped by Raiders, she began to go out into the world.
Throughout her journey, she continued to face harsh realities, horrors that she could not imagine in Vault. Eventually she was forced to take up arms, ignoring the inhabitants of the wasteland who tried to dissuade her. In the end she won, not only the war but also a name for herself. She then fought alongside Brotherhood of Steel against her corrupt father, and traveled with a mercenary named Ghoul.
Warrior
- First appearance in Fallout: Tactics
In Brotherhood of Steel, Warriors are considered one of the most valuable recruits. Their principal task is to protect the settlements around Chicago area from being terrorized and invaded by Raiders and Supermutants.
In Fallout: Tactics, Warriors gradually rise in Brotherhood of Steel’s status, and they impress Simon Barnaky and eventually become the new generals. They mainly eliminate most of the factions and organizations that cause chaos in Fallout: Tactics, including but not limited to Beastlords, Supermutants, and Robots.
Maximus
- First appearance in Fallout TV series
Like Lucy, Maximus is another protagonist in Amazon’s Fallout. Maximus also began his training journey with Brotherhood of Steel. There, new recruits must prove themselves worthy of becoming a Squire for a Knight. When Maximus was discovered by Brotherhood of Steel, his hometown of Shady Sands had just been bombed, so he dedicated his life to this cause.
He is a little different from Lucy. Maximus has always lived above ground, so he is used to seeing the horrors of the wasteland. This also makes him better prepared to face the challenges of monsters and attackers. As a member of Brotherhood of Steel, he is also used to using various weapons and skills.
Lone Wanderer
- First appearance in Fallout 3
Lone Wanderer in Fallout 3 is the first character we meet at the beginning of the game, and the first character to grow up with us. At the age of 19, they began to look for their father, a doctor. The most unfortunate thing is that they had to leave Vault 101 because they were exiled.
Along the way, they not only saved the town of Megaton from a nuclear bomb, but also saved their original Vault from the civil war. Their legendary story has been circulated in the wasteland and became a survival guide written by Moira Brown. These guides also continued in Fallout 4 many years later.
76er
- First appearance in Fallout 76
They were originally members of Vault 76 and were one of the first teams to leave the Vault on Reclamation Day. On Reclamation Day, the radiation level was actually stable, and they could reproduce on the surface again. But because they were the first people to explore the wasteland 25 years after the war, they had no knowledge and were not prepared to deal with the end of the world.
Although they knew little about New World, the power of 76er was undeniable. As a group, they managed to build settlements and destroy a terrible plague caused by a species called Scorchbeast Queen.
Courier Six
- First appearance in Fallout: New Vegas
Courier is another resident of the waste, a messenger who travels between New California and various places. But the good times didn’t last long. When he delivered a package one day, no one would have thought that it contained a powerful storage device called Platinum Chip that could control a supercomputer. Because of this, Courier Six was captured by New Vegas crime boss Benny and wanted to shoot him in the head.
Unexpectedly, Courier could miraculously survive and become a little stronger. He continued to travel through the Mojave to find Benny and Platinum Chip. Their strong qualities gave them the ability to move on and escape death.
Vault Dweller
- First appearance in Fallout
In Fallout, Vault Dweller is considered an unlucky person. Because of the broken lottery, he was kicked out of Vault 13 by Overseer to find a water purification ship. He only knows the location of Vault 15 and the possibility of finding a new chip, so he embarks on a journey to California’s wasteland.
Despite the difficulties, Vault Dweller manages to adapt himself to the wasteland. He overcomes many obstacles, destroys the raider group and kills Super Mutants, and finally finds the water chip. He happily returns to Vault 13, but he is greeted by the news of his exile.
After struggling for a while, he accepts his fate and some other residents from Vault 13 follow him. They travel to the mountains of Oregon and create a new settlement in Arroyo.
Sole Survivor (Nate)
- First appearance in Fallout 4
Nate, the sole survivor in Fallout 4, begins his journey in 2077 before the nuclear bombs fall. Nate is a retired US Army veteran, so he is good at fighting. He enters the new Vault 111 with his wife and newborn son Shaun, and when the bomb falls on the United States, the three are immediately pushed into Vault 111 and put into cryogenic sleep.
They sleep for a long time in total until Nate is awakened early. Nate watches his wife being murdered and his son Shaun being kidnapped and then put back into the sleep pod. In 2287, Nate, the only survivor of Vault 111, sets out to find his son with a promise to his late wife.
Chosen One
- First appearance in Fallout 2
Fallout 2 continues the Fallout style, and The Chosen One has been trained from birth to be the savior of the wasteland. He is the grandson of the Vault Dweller just mentioned. The Vault Dweller settled in Arroyo with his relatives. This tribe has many villagers and can farm and defend themselves.
As the best of these people, Chosen One is sent to the wasteland to find Garden of Eden Creation. This kit can restore crops and continue to thrive despite radiation. During his journey, he also continued to kill more attackers, expanded the sphere of influence of New California Republic, and overthrew most of the power of the shadow government in front of him.
