Hey, the name is Joe. Started playing the series when Fallout 3 came out. Love every game so far!

Character biography
Joe was born in July 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). Joe's childhood was kept a secret in order to shelter him from the outside world, and to keep up the pretense of the social experiment for which the Vault was constructed.

For 19 years he lived in Vault 101 without incident, but in 2277, 200 years after the Great War, James disappeared without any explanation. Joe, with the help of Amata Almodovar, left the safety of the Vault to search for him. Joe first took refuge in the little town of Megaton, and after disarming the atomic bomb in the center, and helping Moira Brown complete an intelligent wasteland survival guide, took up residence there.

While searching he helped many, such as finding a diplomatic solution to the problems in Arefu, aiding Big Town from a super mutant attack, rescuing a group of mercs known as Reilly's Rangers from a DC hotel rooftop, saving an escaped android from a life of slavery, aiding a group of escaped slaves, freeing child slaves from Paradise Falls, stopping a pair of costumed kooks from terrorizing Canterbury Commons, riding an infestation of fire ants from Grayditch, returning to Vault 1011 and stopping the Overseer's reign of tyranny, recovering the Declaration of Independence and a stradivarius violin; all the while collecting Quantum for a Nuka-Cola addict.

After tracking down his father, Project Purity was put back on track, but the reunion was cut short when the Enclave commander Augustus Autumn arrived and demanded ownership of the Project. James was unwilling to allow the project to fall into the hands of the Enclave and sacrificed himself by filling the control chamber of Project Purity with deadly amounts of radiation, in hopes of killing Colonel Autumn and the other soldiers. Colonel Autumn, however, survived. The Enclave took control of the project, but are unable to operate it.

After fleeing from the Jefferson Memorial building with the remainder of Project Purity staff, Joe took refuge within the Citadel where he enlisted the help of the Brotherhood of Steel to retrieve a G.E.C.K. from Vault 87 for use in the soon-to-be-recaptured Project Purity. Because the G.E.C.K. was in a highly irradiated chamber, he enlisted the help of Fawkes, a friendly super mutant to retrieve it. Once the G.E.C.K. was retrieved, Joe was captured by Colonel Autumn and taken to Raven Rock. There, President Eden presented him with a canister of modified FEV for insertion into Project Purity, which would poison any mutated creature drinking the purified water. Joe was disgusted and convinced President Eden that he was not perfect, thus self-destructing himself and the Enclave's base of Operations, Raven Rock. Project Purity was recaptured with the aid of Liberty Prime. There, after finally stopping Colonel Autumn, the purifier was activated and the wasteland was finally given the greatest gift of all, fresh, clean drinking water.

When the waters of life finally flowed and the Enclave were eradicated from the region he left the Capital Wasteland for a fresh start. Joe took up traveling, providing help to those in need and using courier work to keep himself afloat, eventually reaching the Mojave. One October night in 2281 a delivery went badly wrong, Joe was shot and left for dead in a shallow unmarked grave. Found and nursed back to health he made a miraculous recovery, and after helping defend the town from a group of escaped convicts, he left, a 9mm M1911 in hand, to track the men who attempted to kill him.

On his way to tracking is would-be killer down, Joe found that the Mojave Wasteland was in more strife than previously known. The Powder Gangers, Legion, NCR, Brotherhood of Steel, Fiends, and the numerous gangs or raiders all battled for some control in the Mojave Wasteland. He decided to help the New California Republic and the Brotherhood of Steel, all while repelling the Caesar's Legion and the numerous gangs and raiders.

During his travels, Joe had numerous side trips. The Sierra Madre Casino, and all of it riches, called to him. The Big MT and its science stole him away and took his organs out. Mercenary work took him to the Zion Canyon, where his employers were killed by the locals. And finally, the Divide, and Ulysses, sought him out. Joe walked the Lonesome Road in the Divide. There, the two couriers fought, one last time, under the old flag.

After taking Mr. House out of the picture, Joe focused his sights on Caesar. Traveling to The Fort, he silently took out the guards. Then he made is way up to Caesar's tent, his trusty M-4 in hand. After a minute or two, it was all over. Caesar lay dead, a 5.56 bullet in his head. The Fort, now absent of any forces, lay deserted.

The second battle of Hoover Dam was not as big a battle as on would've thought. The Legion, weakened by the lone assault on the Fort, stood no chance. The First Recon was there with Sniper support. The Boomers and their magnificent B-29 Superfortress, rained fire on the Legion. The Remnants and their Vertibird were there to support Joe and were there until the last man fell. The Brotherhood and the NCR in the Mojave Wasteland declared an official truce, despite continued hostilities between the two in the west. Caesar and Legate Lanius lay dead, the Legion destroyed. The threat to New Vegas was over... or at least quelled for a little bit. Joe remains extra vigilant, and brings law to the land with his Anti-materiel rifle whenever he can.
