Borderlands Freeform RP (Interest Check)

[SidheLady]

awesome, we'd need one more VH player...! Come on, one more!

[Gateman]

So, if you're still in need of a vault hunter, I'd be more than happy to join. This RP was actually the first one that piqued my interest and made me join the site.

[SidheLady]

wooo! that works for me!

[Gateman]

I seem to have missed it, OCs are cool, yeah?

[TheGlyphstone]

Absolutely.

[pdragon]

Not sure what you're currently needing for characters, but I figured I'd throw up a corporate character and see how it's received. I can easily re-purpose her as a VH if that would fit better.

History

Originally just another mindless denizen of Pandora, the Blitz of today is a result of the corporation's new "Pyscho Rehabilitation Program". Unlike most of the advanced settlements and corporations to make contact with Pandora's native population, the corporation saw the various bandits and psychopaths not as just a nuisance, but a potential asset. Their rugged durability, acclimation to Pandora's unique climate, both environmental and, er..."political", and their talent for causing death and mayhem made them promising prospects to use a soldiers, if only their more troublesome facets could be..."ironed out". Blitz is one of the most successful products of this program, having been brought back from the edge of total insanity and given new purpose, that purpose being the total incineration of anything or anyone the Corporation deems troublesome.

Personality: While supposedly a star student of the corporation's "rehabilitation" program, it becomes clear upon meeting Blitz that they didn't do such a good job ironing out all the "kinks" as it were. She's stable enough to take and follow orders to a T, but otherwise shows clear signs of mania, impulsiveness, compulsive violent tendencies, and warped delusions of reality. She has a cheerful and playful personality, something she maintains even when committing horrible acts of assault and murder, and holds no value to life, human or otherwise. She seems to be under the impression that reality is actually some kind of game or show being put on for some higher beings' enjoyment, and will often comment on things from within this context.

History:

background

Not much history to tell here. Adim was your typical scav, just trying to eke out an existence after Nisha's death left the town of Lynchwood in a state of anarchy. One night, while scrounging through trash looking for something to sell, he came across a skag pup with a broken leg. It didn't attack him, and actually seemed scared of him at first, so he took pity on the thing and brought it home. After a couple months, it was fully healed and ready to leave, but for some reason, wouldn't. Whenever he would shoo it away, it would invariably come back a day later, often puking up a nice gun or a clutch of grenades or something. After a few weeks of this, Adim decided to just embrace it and adopt it. He named it Skraggy, painting it with Hyperion yellow tribal designs so that no one shot him, thinking he was wild. Also helped see him from a distance, too.

After several years together, Skraggy had matured into an Alpha Skag, and the pair spent most days out hunting. Trying to find stuff to sell is much, much easier when your partner is a 9 foot tall, half ton tank with the temperament of a loyal puppy. With little else to do, and nothing tying him to Lynchwood anymore, he set off astride Skraggy, looking for loot to sell. Maybe he'd get lucky and find one of those vaults everyone always talk about...

Personality: Adim's history as a loner shows through easily. He doesn't talk much, and what he does speak tends to be concise and blunt. He could be called enigmatic, or at least stoic, as he rarely shows much emotion. The only one he seems to open up to is Skraggy, who he seems to have an almost codependent bond with. Still, when he actually works with a team, he can be counted on to be loyal and cooperative, and steadfastly focused on completing the task at hand, if only because it means he can get paid that much quicker.

[SidheLady]

Okay, I have an idea, we have players. I will begin us off after christmas...if everyone is still interested!

[ThisOneGal]

I'm still here.

[pdragon]

sounds good to me

[TheGlyphstone]

So our team is Gaige, a witch doctor, a merc+pet skrag, a pyromaniacal ex-psycho, and possibly Kreig?

[SidheLady]

sounds like it

[Gateman]

Man, glad I didn't miss the start of this. Dental abscess knocked me out after christmas, and I'm just now getting back here. We starting soon?

[SidheLady]

Yep, keep an eye out, over the weekend
