The residents of Vault 76, also referred to as the Ressies,[1] are the player characters in Fallout 76. On October 23, 2102, twenty-five years to the day since the Great War, they emerged from their vault for Reclamation Day and began exploring and recolonizing Appalachia.

Background

The residents are people from Appalachia and various parts of the United States with different ethnicities, religions and sets of unique skills.

Those individuals who were selected to enter Vault 76 represented the "cream of the crop" of the United States' citizens. Compared to the other inhabitants of America, the residents were highly accomplished and intelligent and possessed competitive personalities. Each was chosen for their unique skills and temperament, making them the "country's best and brightest," including aerospace engineers, Nobel Prize winners, university lecturers, among other fields. This made managing them a challenge for the vault's staff.[2] The residents gave out a number of awards in the vault, evident by the display case in the quarters for various different achievements. These include volunteering for the canned mystery meat experiment when no one else would eat it, the isolation program, the vault hall monitor award and others. They also trained for when they would emerge using the educational vault films such as Let's Work With Others, The Power of the Atom, Laying the Cornerstones and Atomics for Peace. As part of their wasteland survival, they learned to use the C.A.M.P. They spent their lives in the vault using their skills for the "betterment of the vault."

The overseer advised the residents to run as fast and far from Vault 76 as possible when the door was unsealed for Reclamation Day.[3]

other Background

Many residents were also golf and instrument players, as well as avid readers and board game players, and even an artist. They also keep a stereo in their bedroom with a piece of music on it we can assume they have a preference for. The Resident (for some reason) keeps quite a few toys and other childish trinkets in their quarter's. For someone their age it seems odd. This could imply a childish side to their personality despite being an overachiever.

Notes

The residents are the only protagonist so far to not have any scripted dialogue options, unlike previous games; not counting the emote wheel.

Appearances

Vault 76 residents appear only in Fallout 76.
