THE LONE COURIER
Wasteland Legend and President of New Vegas
Wasteland Legend and President of New Vegas
QUOTE: "In the Wasteland, you can grow successful, powerful and rich one of two ways. You win big in New Vegas if you're real lucky... or you pick up your guns and ammo and armor and you go be a badass. If you're real good, you can do both. Just stay on the right side of justice and honor and we won't have to find out who's the biggest badass, right, love?"

Wealth: 8
-Gains $100,000,000 per month/issue
-Currently has $1,000,000,000
CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-2; honorable. The Lone Courier rarely lies, cheats or plays dirty, and much prefers a straightforward, honorable and fair way of dealing with most challenges. She prefers her opponents to have a fighting chance.)
-Psychological (-2; hedonist. As hard as life in the Wasteland can be at times, life can be fun, it can be good. Deanna loves to party, to drink, to eat good food, sex, and most any other form of pleasure. She honestly believes that people should indulge in what is fun for them, as long as it doesn't cause too big problems for others who don't deserve it.)
-C.T.S.U.F.U (-4; a goody two shoes dedicated to leaving this world a LOT better than she entered it, Deanna has been helping people left and right ever since she her childhood in the vault, and even more after that. She saved countless lives, battled multiple evil factions and groups, made the lives of countless people better, brought an essentially unlimited supply of pure water to the Capital Wasteland through the Purifier, dealt a crippling blow to the Enclave twice, freed New Vegas from Mr.House's tyranny and kept it from falling into the NCR or the Legion's hands, making it a truly free, powerful nation. She's basically the biggest damn heroine in the Wasteland, and her name is widerly known far across it.)
-Covetous (-2; moderate greed and ambition. Deanna is a very good person, always ready to help others, but at the same time, she loves power, wealth and lxurious benefits. Saving the world is all well and good, but if she's making good money or gaining power in some way while she's at it, so much the better.)
-Antisocial tendencies (-2; moderate violence. When troubles' afoot, Deanna has been known to use diplomacy and her winning smile to end it, once in a while... but she's been far more known to load up her guns, sharpen her blades, and leave a trail of blood behind her until the sons-of-bitches stop f*cking around. She has no problem with chopping up a group of raiders to pieces, beheading vile criminals or blowing the brains out of Super Mutants who threaten innocents. In fact, she loves it.)
-Minority (-1; bisexual and foot fetichist. Deanna likes both men and women, and especially men and women with beautiful feet. Her interest in the latter made her become a pedicurist back in her young days in Vault 101. Unfortunately, her adventuring days have left her fewer time to enjoy some amazing time with good lovers with soft and lovely feet.)
-Haunted past (-1; the Lone Courier went through a LOT of s*** in her life, some very weird and uncomfortable ones. Her mother died giving her birth, her father was killed before her eyes, she saw several friends dying over the years... horrible battles with terrifying creatures... corpses as far as the eye could see... mutilated bodies in Super Mutant camps... cannibals... etc. She doesn't worry about it too much, but sometimes, things just leave a mark.)

______________________________________________________________
STORY: The heroine who changed the Capital and Mojave Wastelands forever was originally born in Rivet City, to James and Catherine Hollands, two bright scientists working on fantastic projects such as the Water Purifier, which would be able to turn irradiated water into pure water for all to drink. Unfortunately, Catherine went into cardial arrest upon giving birth and died despite the efforts of her husband. Devastated, he left Project Purity with his newborn daughter, searching for a place where she could grow in peace, away from the Wasteland's harsh world.
He brought her to Vault 101, where she grew up thinking she had been born there and her dad before her. She soon proved to be about as smart as her parents if not potentially more, but her... unique interests in feet led her to become the Vault's Pedicurist after undertaking the G.O.A.T exam, a job which she just loved. All good things must come to an end, however, as one day, her father left the vault without explanation. Enraged and mostly insane, Deanna's best friend Amatha's father, the Overseer, killed Jonas, James' best friend, and planned to kill Deanna as well. With Amatha's help, Deanna was able to escape, and leave the vault, stepping into the Wasteland for the first time... on her own two feet anyway.
It was then that her legend began, as she searched for her father, for answers. She helped settlements left and right, starting with disarming the atomic bomb in Megaton and saving the life of Lucas Simms, the sheriff, from an assassination attempt from Mister Burke, a dangerous man who was actually planning to detonate the bomb. She was offered a house there, and went on to perform more good deeds, while following leads to her father's whereabouts. Other of her adventures apparently included being abducted by alien invaders and saving the whole planet from them... of course, this is assumed to be merely a rumor. By most anyway.
She eventually located him, and they reached Project Purity together to try and restart it for good. Things were going well, until the Enclave arrived... and Colonel Augustus Autumn caused the death of her father who sacrificed himself to keep the Purifier out of the Enclave's hands. Despite her loss, the Lone Wanderer pushed forward, and kept fighting and gathering what she needed in order to finish what she had started. Alongside soldiers of the Brotherhood of Steel, she attacked the Enclave at Project Purity, took it back from them and managed to restart the Purifier, despite heavy radiation poisoning.
Her mother and father's dream now achieved, she set out with the Brotherhood to wipe out the Enclave and avenge her father. When she finally did so, she ended it with a bang, blowing up the Enclave's remnants in the Adams AFB Platform after an epic battle. Feeling like she had done aplenty and hearing of troubles brewing in the West, the Lone Wanderer bid her farewells to the American East and headed out for the Mojave Wasteland.
Needless to say, she had plenty of adventures on her way there, and more upon arrival. She was shot in the head at some point while delivering a very important platinum Chip, and left for dead... only to be saved by one Doc Mitchell in Goodsprings. She found herself implicated in the war opposing the NCR and Ceasar's Legion, trying her best to help the locals along the way. She eventually traveld to New Vegas, made allies, made enemies... setlled old scores. It all ended up with her disposing of Mister House, the rather tyrannic leader of New Vegas, and keeping both the NCR and the Legion from getting their hands on the city or the dam, ensuring New Vegas' independence, and its absolute freedom under her new reign as president.
Needless to say... 'the Lone Courier', as many like to remember her from her stories... has seen it all, or so she thinks. Unbeknownst to her... other dimensions had begun manifesting into the equation, making the future uncertain...
...and exciting!
