None could stand in my way. I had a mission. I had a goal. I had a really large gun. – Vault Dweller’s memoirs
The Lone Wanderer is the player character and main protagonist in Fallout 3.The Lone Wanderer was born on July 13, 2258 to James and Catherine at the Jefferson Memorial, where they worked on Project Purity. Catherine died shortly after giving birth, due to cardiac arrest of an unknown cause. James suspended the project and traveled to Vault 101 via Megaton (with the help of Star Paladin Cross). The Lone Wanderer’s origin was kept a secret in order to shelter the child from the outside world, and to keep up the pretense of the Vault-Tec Corporation’s social experiment.
By 2297, the Lone Wanderer had disappeared from the Capital Wasteland, and their fate was unknown. Most citizens of the wasteland had a story about the Wanderer, and many of his or her actions had gone down as local legend. History had even forgotten whether they were a man or a woman. Much of the documentation of their actions had however became flawed, and were riddled with conflicting reports. On the 10th of September, Moira Brown began work on a biography of the Lone Wanderer. CosplayErotica made a funny version of the Pipboy as well (I LOLed when first saw it:).
