So I was thinking of doing a Borderlands-based RP with O.C.'s.
All the information is down below~
This event will take place after the Borderlands 2 game, and mostly around the same time as the new Teltale Game, Tales From The Borderlands.
This is your story.
We all heard about the famous Vault Hunters or the Crimson Raiders, even Handsome Jack, but what about you?
This is your time to shine, baby.
Who will you be? Will you be another fantastic Vault Hunter, craving for the secret treasures of Pandora? Or how about another Hyperion stooge, determined to become the next Handsome Jack? How about a previous Atlas worker, desperate to stay alive and keep your true identity hidden? Hell, you might even stick for the Bandit or hustler life.. you might survive.
Meet others along the way. Make allies, enemies, a beautiful relationship in this dry, dead, hellhole. Or you can be alone and die (wait, what? I mean.. nevermind).
Note: All the information that is quoted is from, Pandora
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
So, here you are in Pandora, one of the most deadliest planets. Enjoy your stay!

About Pandora~
What's there to talk about? Alright, alright, since you asked so kindly, I'll explain some things. Wait, you didn't ask? Well whatever, you're getting some knowledge into that thick bandit skull of yours.
"Pandora was first settled by humans during a winter season, when much of its wildlife was hibernating. After seven earth years, the warming climate in that region has resulted in most of the known native wildlife (excluding rakk hives and some other unknown or undiscovered species) waking from their hibernation, all of which are hostile to Pandora's new human settlers."
"The areas of Pandora encountered in the story consist of snowy or volcanic-ash-strewn mountainous areas, large desert valleys and coastal stretches. The terrain is criss-crossed with canyons, ravines, rocky outcrops and plateaus. Large bodies of water are also present bordering several of the zones. Due to the repeated presence of raised construction it is likely that many of these areas are much wetter environments during different times of the Pandoran year."
(A Pandora map)
"There are a variety of plants on Pandora, although the local flora is sparse in many areas. The majority of the vegetation present is similar in appearance to flora found in the south-western United States."
Here are a few popular and 'friendly' 'plants' (Pfft, more like spawns of Satan) that you may encounter:
- "Mushroom-like growths can be found in the Arid Badlands and many of the cave areas (probably used as food for local animals and human settlers).
- In the Rust Commons, there is some plant life, including moss-like plants on the ground and large, sunflower-style plants that grow with 3 heads. Lilly-pads appear in the large pools of water. Wild grasses, weeds and flowers can be seen to bloom in small patches throughout the zones.
- Dead, blackened trees can be found on various parts of the world. This may be partly because of the winter that has just passed and they haven't awoken yet. One is located in the town of New Haven.
- Bladeflower Plants can be found in Skag Gully and elsewhere. T.K. Baha asks the Vault hunters to collect the seeds from them they are the main cash crop of Pandora and are edible.
- Some of the local plant life introduced in Borderlands 2 are actually dangerous. Firemelons are a prime example, as they explode when disturbed, setting everything around them on fire."
(Examples of some plants in Pandora)
"The major forms of fauna on Pandora aggressively protect their territory; an approach is usually met with immediate attack. Pandora has many different creatures that are seldom friendly towards the Vault Hunters. These include Skags, Larva Crab Worms, Scythid, Spiderants, Drifters, Rakk, Rakk Hives, Varkids, Sand Worms, Bullymongs, Threshers, Boroks, Scaylions, Crystalisks, and many other dangerous creatures.
There are many undiscovered species on Pandora as well. Patricia Tannis also mentions there are many species of bugs. Some of these bugs are the glowing green flies seen when approaching a skag pile or toilets.
In the Parched Fathoms, one can see large structures resembling barnacles. This may indicate that some kind of marine fauna existed on Pandora, despite drastic climate changes, or these creatures are hibernating during Pandora's summer.
An intelligent species encountered on Pandora are the Guardians, however it is revealed they are AI, controlled husks or models of Eridians. No actual Eridians are encountered, and these Guardians are believed to be protectors from the extinct Eridian civilisation."

Corporations
Alright, the things you're gonna hear about A LOT is: Corporations. Whether it's the evil Hyperian or just a simple business like Scooter's. Hell, even the fall of Atlas.
"Five years after the events of Borderlands, Handsome Jack, now leader of the Hyperion corporation, took all credit for the opening of The Vault and became an overnight trillionaire with the discovery of Eridium and patenting of E-tech technologies. He then took on the task of 'liberating' Pandora from its outlaw population using an army of loader robots, starting with the destruction of New Haven and its residents. He then proceeded with the goal of uncovering a second Vault, this time to gain control of an ancient Eridian weapon referred to as The Warrior. Combating the Hyperion takeover was the Crimson Raiders, a resistance force made up of former Vault Hunters and Crimson Lance that operated from Sanctuary, though it alone was clearly not enough to so much as put a dent in the corporate giant's power.
In order to stop others from awakening the Warrior before he could, Jack sent an off-world communique, hoping to attract treasure hunters to Pandora, where he would have them killed before they reached their goal. Little did he know that some treasure hunters don't die so easily...
Following Handsome Jack's defeat, Hyperion presence on the planet became minimal due to the hostility of the native population and the lack of a clear goal providing a reason to be on Pandora. Hyperion presence is mainly relegated to the Helios space station."
"The Atlas corporation arrived at least 70 years[citation needed] before the events of Borderlands, and evidently did so during one of the long Pandoran 'winters'. The company set up facilities in the search for the alien technology that was believed to be hidden on the planet. Outposts were established during this frenzy of activity, and new colonists began to settle in and around these makeshift archaeological digs.
Little or nothing was found, however word spread about the anticipated cache of technology the locals began to dub The Vault. Rumors soon circulated, triggering a second wave of fortune hunters to touch down on the marginally developed planet. Many of these people were heavily armed, highly driven, competitive, and had no affiliation with Atlas.
The Commerce Grid was most likely established as these freelancers started trading amongst themselves and Atlas employees. The Fast Travel Network was also likely established during this period to help facilitate the easy transmission of goods and services.

After the opening of the Vault, Atlas began to suffer a string of disasters. The first was the death of Commandant Steele during the Vault's opening, causing significant chaos in the ranks of the Crimson Lance.General Alphonso Knoxx made an (admittedly half-hearted) attempt to restore order to Pandora, but was also killed. The Atlas CEO was later poisoned and killed.
Atlas was ultimately forced to leave Pandora, abandoning what remained of the Crimson Lance. With no sense of command anymore, the Lance went rogue. Some of them sought refuge in Old Haven and essentially shot at anybody that moved, but they were later wiped out by the Vault Hunters. Others were mentioned as having joined bandit tribes."
I could go on FOREVER about businesses and corporations and such, but come on.. who the hell wants to read all of this? Just know that there's a lot of items that will probably come from companies like Dahl, Torgue, Maliwan, etc. that you will most likely use. Because admit it, you gotta carry a weapon with you, or oh boy, you won't last a day.

The Roleplay information will be located at the front of the page. Don't fret darling, I didn't forget that part.
Now... Enjoy Roleplaying!
Anymore information just ask, I'll be glad to explain with whatever information I have (I don't know 'everything').
