The Playlist

Appearance
Courier Strife has silvery hair and a patchy grey beard with sun kissed skin, he is usually seen wearing glasses as he does not have 20/20 vision.

Personality
From the very start of the series Strife is shown to be a bit of a deadpan snarker, doubting the scientific nature of the vig-o-matter machine. He's a bit of a loner who is somewhat aggressive if cautious. He tends to keep his head down most of the day, ignoring conflict not directly in his way and often considers it none of his business when he hears trouble or gunfire in the distance. He struggles with dealing with other people, unable to easily convince or barter with others despite his best efforts, thanks to his loner nature he rarely takes up companions on his quest through the wasteland, however there are a few exceptions to this rule and at times he can even be a bit of a flirt with guys at times.

Strife also seems shocked and mildly put off by random or cruel amounts violence, though he has no trouble reaping the rewards when others do it despite not approving of the method. While cold he is not heartless, and will often portray a sympathetic side to victims of immense suffering and abuse. Despite often asking for compensation for any job no matter how charitable, when it comes to victims of trafficking and abuse he will often offer to help free of charge for the victims, though if a third party is involved he may try and squeeze extra payment out of them, but never the victims.

While Strife is easily annoyed, he can be hard to actually piss off, one of the few things that regularly gets him actually angry is human trafficking, especially if it's sexual trafficking and especially if it involves kids. He also has a rather sadistic side at times, though rare to actually see, if someone pisses him off enough he will happily ruminate on ways to make them suffer even if he doesn't tend to actually do it or think of it after the matter is settled. He also seems to see nothing wrong with lying to others if it gets him his way easier or faster and rarely if ever shows remorse about it.

Relationships
Veronica-Despite being a loner in nature, Strife finds himself intrigued and curious by the companion Veronica, breaking his loner nature to allow her to accompany him. Strife seems to find her incredibly funny, often snickering at her jokes and prodding for more.

FISTO-Though common fandom memes may have you thinking otherwise, Strife actually is somewhat freaked out and repulsed by FISTO, regretting deciding to test it out and mentioning feeling unclean afterwards.

Trivia

 * Strife chose to give the character the Confirmed Bachelor perk for the attack bonus, however after touching on what the name means and finding the new dialogue choices interesting, he decided he wanted to use them and that if was going to do that he was going to stick to it and be as honest as he could with it. 1 2
