My name is Iza. I was a lawyer before everything went to shit. My husband Nate, was a man of war. His war like tendencies showed on the field and the home front. Damn bastard. After we first heard news of the bombs we ran to the vault. Shawn, Nate and myself were frozen. One hundred fifty years into our isolation a group of scientist came to the vault. They stole my baby, Shawn. They shot my husband when he wouldn't hand them Shawn. I banged on the glass to be released from my cell. They refroze me for another sixty years. When I thawed I escaped the vault with no idea of how the world had changed. When I entered the wasteland I was greeted with mutated bugs and creatures. I walked through my old home Sanctuary. My home lay there in ruin, yet the bushes were still trimmed and tidy. Codsworth had survived all these years. He told me to go to Concord for help. So, I did. There I met Preston Garvey. Him and I killed raiders that were threatening him and the group he had with him. I led them to Sanctuary, they would be safe there.
I continued my journey through the waste. I met Danse on my way through Boston. I followed him to his outpost. I helped him retrieve old world technology at ArcJet. It was the first time I had see Synths. After that I was made an Innate in the Brotherhood Of Steel. Him and I traveled for a month together. With him I made my way up the ranks to Sentinel. Fancy power armor. Had a jet pack too.
After leaving Danse's company I made my way to Diamond City. At the gate I met Piper. Estranged news reporter. She got me into Diamond city with a lie. After I was in I stopped by her shack to do an interview. She traveled with me after the interview. She said it was to keep her sister safe from herself. She didn't want Nat to be like her. Her and I traveled for two months. She helped me find Nick Valentine, who I turn helped me conclude who had Shawn. I had to kill The man I saw shoot my husband. Nick recommended I find a dog to help me find his location. I left Piper in Diamond City, an walked back towards Sanctuary.
Dogmeat was by the Red Rocket Station. Him and I killed a few mole rats. I adopted the dog. He reminded me of my dog before the war. Him and I walked to Fort Hagen. It was a fortress. I cased the building before coming to the realization I did not have enough ammo. So I headed towards Good neighbor, I heard they had a good weapon and ammo dealer. I did not know that she was am assaultron. There I met Hancock. He wanted a change of scenery, so he joined me and Dogmeat. Two months int our travels we stormed Fort Hagen. I killed the man who had started my life's downfall. I picked through his brain for his chip. Nick said I needed to take it to Doctor Amari before he left my side.
To celebrate our victory Hancock took me to the Third Rail. He introduced me to McCreedy.  The three of us drank the night away. I woke up and only me and McCreedy remained, so he joined my company. Him and I bonded on the uncertainty of our children. We had a strong bond. We almost dated, but he had a wife. Doesn't mean that stopped us, things just weren't official. Two months into our travels him and I fought a Courser. I took his chip. McCreedy left my company once I arrived at the Railroad hideout.
I met Decon there. The Railroad decoded the chip. Decon  joined my travels. Him and I found a way into the Institute through the decoded chip. We traveled together for a month before I separated from him. I was still resucing rouge synths.
I stumbled upon the Combat Zone. I found it through the radio on my Pipboy. I saw a woman being  pinned against raiders. I noticed one raider in clunky yellow cage armor sitting at the bar. He stood up and looked at me. He scoffed before taking a sip of his drink. Women surrounded him. Anyway I bought Cait so that she could be free. She was the one I defeated the Institute with. After that I left all my companions I needed time to heal. I had murdered my son. He controlled the Institute. He had to die, I kept telling myself, but it did not make it any better. I had searched for almost a year to find him and now he is gone again in the blink of an eye. 
One day when I was walking my Pipboy picked up a familiar radio station. It was named Nuka World. I followed the signal to a Gunner filled train station.
