Give them a unique skill set. Instead of just being good at combat and survival, the courier could have a special ability like being able to communicate with certain mutated animals. This would make their interactions in the wasteland more diverse and interesting. They could use this ability to get help from these animals, or it could also put them in danger as some people in the wasteland might see this as a threat or something to be exploited.
The courier could have been a former soldier. After serving in the military, they found civilian life difficult. With their combat skills and knowledge of the wasteland, they turned to courier work to make a living. Maybe they were from a small settlement that was destroyed, and this job gives them a sense of purpose as they travel around, hoping to one day find a place to call home again.
One great fanfiction is 'The Courier's Redemption'. It delves deep into the male courier's past and his journey to make amends for his actions. The character development is really well - done, and it adds new layers to the game's lore.
Another option is to create a crossover where the essence or abilities of the Courier are transferred to a RWBY character, or vice versa. For instance, a RWBY character could gain the Courier's marksmanship skills. This would change the way they fight and interact with others in their own universe. Or the Courier could gain some semblance - like ability from RWBY, which would give them an edge in the dangerous Fallout world.
To get back to the main story in Fallout: New Vegas, check your quest log for the latest main quest objective. Also, talk to key NPCs who might provide clues or instructions. Sometimes, revisiting familiar locations related to the main story can help too.
One great Fallout New Vegas female courier fanfiction is 'The Courier's Journey'. It delves deep into her backstory, like how she came to be a courier in the first place. It has a really engaging plot that involves her interactions with various factions in the game world. Another good one is 'Courier's Redemption'. This one focuses on her moral struggles as she traverses the post - apocalyptic wasteland.
Another theme is the clash of cultures. The Fallout: New Vegas world has a post - apocalyptic, survival - based culture, while RWBY has a more heroic, fantasy - based culture. In these fanfictions, we often see how the courier's values and ways of doing things contrast with those of the RWBY characters. For example, the courier might be more used to a 'every man for himself' mentality in the wastelands, while the RWBY characters are more about teamwork and heroism. This can lead to some interesting conflicts and growth for the characters.
There are also fanfictions that explore the technology aspect. Since Fallout has a lot of advanced (in a post - apocalyptic way) technology and RWBY has its own Dust - based technology. The Courier could introduce some new concepts to the RWBY world, or be fascinated by the way Dust works. This can be a really cool concept to explore in fanfiction.
Well, I really liked a fanfic called 'Courier's Redemption'. In this story, the OP male courier has to deal with his past mistakes while still being this super capable character. It's got some great character development and interesting plot twists that really draw you in. There are also some really cool action scenes that show off the courier's skills.
A plot idea could be that the Courier discovers a powerful relic in the Fallout world that has the power to connect different universes. This relic accidentally transports the Courier and some of the key RWBY characters to a strange in - between realm. In this realm, they have to work together to find a way back to their respective worlds while also facing challenges that are a mix of both Fallout and RWBY elements, like Grimm - like creatures with post - apocalyptic mutations and bandits with Dust - powered weapons.
First, they should start as comrades. They meet, recognize each other's skills, and decide to travel together for mutual benefit. For example, the Courier needs someone who knows the area well like Veronica, and Veronica needs the Courier's combat skills. As they face various challenges in the wasteland, like running out of supplies or being attacked by wild creatures, they gradually learn to trust each other more.
