My Courier from Fallout: New Vegas, a game I still can't get enough of after nearly six years...

"Si vis pacem, fac bellum"--If you want peace, make war

Name: Elisa Guerra

Race: Human Hispanic

Age: 29

Faction: Caesar's Legion

Karma: Evil

Backstory

Elisa Guerra was born in New Mexico in 2257. Raised by her father after the mother she never knew died while bearing her, Elisa was a tough kid that could hold her own among the boys. They quickly learned not to mess around with her, and Elisa’s fiery temperament earned her the nickname “Cayenne”. Her favorite book growing up was a tattered copy of the Scout Handbook which belonged to her father, a former Desert Ranger who had been expelled from the organization after disobeying orders. In her formative years, Cayenne’s father taught her how to shoot, hunt, and live off the land. In her teens, Cayenne worked as a hunting guide as she and her father eked out a subsistence lifestyle, selling whatever meat and hides they could forage at trading posts and fending off raider attacks around the time Caesar’s Legion was engaged in its pacification of New Mexico. Eventually the raiding tribes were subjugated and Cayenne, finding herself beneath the Legion’s notice and consumed by wanderlust, scraped together the caps she had earned and took to drifting. Her wanderings took her through Legion-controlled Arizona, through Circle Junction, on to New California where she found work as a courier. Her father meanwhile remained east in New Mexico, living comfortably as a subject under Caesar’s rule.

Cayenne adapted quickly to her newfound, hazardous occupation thanks to her talents and abilities. She continued holding her own against the boys, whether in a fight or in a bedroom or even in a couple of Golden Globes productions in New Reno. Her travels also took her to Vault City, Fort Aradesh, working Brahmin drives at Big Circle to score extra caps, even a trip to Utah. Much of her travels centered on southern California, specifically an area nestled beside the Hopeville and Ashton ruins—a place called the Divide. Her frequent deliveries to the settlers there gave rise to a survivalist community, incorporating knowledge she unwittingly passed onto them.

Ultimately Cayenne would become the woman to decide the outcome of the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, shaping the fate of the Mojave for years to come. The inherent corruption and obsessive bureaucracy of NCR had always frustrated her. Thus it didn’t take long for her to become likewise irritated with House’s seeming inability to see beyond the walls of New Vegas. Lastly as far as Cayenne was concerned, Benny’s plan for an independent New Vegas was too haphazard—the situation in Freeside being ample proof of that. Cayenne remembered what it was like growing up in New Mexico before Caesar, remembered the constant struggles she and her father undertook daily to survive. Having witnessed firsthand the Legion forge civilization from unfettered chaos, Cayenne understood that sacrifice is necessary for the greater good.

As Cayenne fastened the Mark of Caesar around her neck, she recalled one particular survival lesson she was drilled in since childhood: when confronted with a hostile environment you don’t become its adversary—you become a part of it.
