Line 7:
While you can choose the name of the character you can play as, they will be referred to by the default names of Nate and Nora respectively through this article.
 
* [[A Boy and His Dog]]: Or a Girl and Her Dog, if you play as Nora.
* [[Acrofatic]]: You can toggle their body proportions straight to "fatass" if you so prefer, but it will not affect their gameplay at all. They can even be given a super high Agility score at the same time.
* [[Badass]]: Both of them quickly become this over the course of the game.
** [[Action Mom]]: Nora specific.
** [[Action Girl]]: Nora. She even gets the matching perk as an option.
** [[Action Girlfriend]]: If Nora romances a male character, they can be this to them.
** [[Action Hero]]: Both Nora and Nate can even dress and act the part if they donedon the 'Silver Shroud" Costume.
** [[Action Survivor]]: Nora, who has to find her way out of Vault 111 soon after the prologue ends on her own.
** [[Badass Automaton]]: They can gain the ability to build and improve them.
Line 18 ⟶ 21:
** [[Badass Beard]]: Nate can have one.
** [[Badass Boast]]/[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Both Nate and Nora can deliver a few of these prior to a fight during a speech check.
** [[Badass Bookworm]]: Nora is a graduate of a law school while Nate is a former US Army veteran, but she's just as badass as he can be. And both can gain perks from reading certain books.
** [[Badass Bureaucrat]]: Nora used to be a lawyer, but can swap lead as well as she used to shuffle paper. It's also possible to achieve certain results during tense speech checks by manipulating the bureaucracy of various factions in your favor, oftentimes to the point of deterring otherwise inevitable bloodshed.
** [[Badass Bystander]]: What they were until the Great War happened.
Line 55 ⟶ 58:
** [[Took a Level in Badass]]: It's noted throughout the game that this has occurred to your character by several characters.
** [[Worthy Opponent]]: Kellogg will admit your character is this, {{spoiler|if you manage to track him down}}.
* [[Bi the Way]]: You start out married in a heterosexual relationship, but nothing stops you from getting into a gay romance later if you want.
* [[Canon Name]]: By default, the husband's name is Nate, and the wife is Nora.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: You can become an honored member of all the factions in the game, and then play them against each other. You can even backstab the Minutemen with the ''Nuka-World'' DLC.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Pick sarcastic options all the time in dialogue regardless of character to hear either Nate or Nora spew a lot of this trope.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: A lot of Natye and Nora's dialogue post-Great War has this tone to it, implying they are still working through some PTSD.
* [[Evil Overlord]]: You can become the leader of the Institute in this fashion, should you so choose.
** The Mechanist from the ''Automatron'' DLC will {{spoiler|mistakenly}} believe you to be an up and coming version of this they need to stop.
** And you can be a totally played straight version if you become the Overboss of the Nuka-World Raiders and decide to help them take over the Commonwealth, basically the only way you can ever actually become a direct enemy of the Minutemen.
* [[Foil]]: They are an inverted version of the [[Fallout 3|Lone Wanderer]], who was born in the wasteland, raised in relative safety, and only left safety to find their father. By contrast, the Sole Survivor was born in (at the time) relative safety, escaped to a Vault to survive the Great War, but were immediately taken away from safety by doing so and must leave the Vault to find their son.
* [[Future Imperfect]]: There are a few times when they can comment on people who have this view of the past, and they can either play along or correct them.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: With the expansions, it's possible for the main character to build all sorts of gizmos and robots.
* [[Human Popsicle]]: How they survived the Great War via Vault 111.
* [[Jerkass]]: Until the ''Nuka-World'' expansion, it was very hard to be one of these unless you just went out of your way to screw up quests and be a dick to everyone, and even then it was hard to be completely, unrepentant evil. With that expansion, you can be a brutal raider lord who basically is the worst thing to ever happen to the Commonwealth.
** [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: The worst you could technically be most of the time during normal gameplay.
