It was October 23, 2077, Theo Ryder-Winchester had woken up like she would any other day, to be greet by her husband Dean with a nice cup of coffee, the mechanical whirls of Codsworth and the coos of her infant son, Damien. But the peaceful life was change in the matter of a few words of news anchor and the wailing sirens. The family of three escapes into Vault 111, a nuclear fallout bunker that waited for those who had been specially picked by the government and the company Vault-Tec. But under the facade of a new home, the residents are put into cryogenic chambers and forced into cryogenic sleep. Time passes before Theo is awoke again to two strangers taking her infant son and killing her husband in the fight for the child, only two be forced back into cryogenic sleep once again. When the life support systems malfunctions, the cryogenic chamber is open releasing the "Sole Survivor" of Vault 111, swearing to avenge her husband's death and search for her son. She leaves the Vault and sets off out into the Wastelands with one thing set in mind, to find Damien. Along the way she makes unlikely friend and meets people who strike the same feeling her husband had, love. She is now tasked with driving out Raiders, along with quest to seek out her son and husband's killer, offering to help those whoever need it on her way. She keeps one quote in the back of her head as she walks the wastelands. War Never Changes.
