“Why is there nothing on the bounty boards?”

“So uh… how exactly did you get stuck on Pandora?”

“I know this is probably the last place you’d wanna be with the whole—“ Rhys gestures to his own face, which isn’t exactly in the best shape. It looks like he’s gotten into a fist fight with a bandit and lost. Horribly. Several times over in the past few weeks. “Jack-look you’ve got going on. ‘Cause everyone here really, really hates him. Which I’m sure you’ve noticed.”

[apairofjacks-archived]

“Yeah, so here’s the thing-”

“I wasn’t all that pumped to find out how exactly Hyperion was going to cut off the body double program after you know died. I’m not exactly a expendable asset as much as I am EXPENDABLE, you know?” Rather than go through the thrilling process of finding out what it meant to be fired from Hyperion, Timothy had decided to loot what guns and gear he could from Jack’s storeroom before fleeing for Pandora. “I wear a face-mask usually... and uh, goggles. Wear my hair differently and bam- No gun shots to the face! Or not bam. Whatever.”

on his role

and by that i mean combat role.

now this is entirely biased from my own playthroughs of timmy (having invested points in hero of this story and free enterprise) but i can definitely see that he is geared towards a type of gameplay. which is, ironically enough, being very aggressive.

the holo-jacks allow him to put pressure on the enemies and he can easily flank any opposition taking advantage of cover. it also means his place in combat will typically be on the front lines- drawing enemy fire and keeping them harassed. this way, his allies can catch a breath while the enemies absolutely can’t. paired up, timothy can work very well with athena, the gladiator protecting the real jack while the others draw enemy fire into her shield. the laser blasts from the doubles whittle down the hostiles so they can be put down once and for all by aspis. additionally, he would work well with nisha- keeping the enemies frantic and distracted so she can easily put a bullet straight through their heads. if timmy and wilhelm deploy their respective reinforcements, it basically means the enemy has no hope to predict where any attack will come from; flanked by holo-copies and bombarded by a attack drone. it wouldn’t be the BEST idea to have him pair up with claptrap or aurelia since his skills wouldn’t benefit them as well as the others- but it wouldn’t be disastrous in any sense.  i mean besides claptrap being claptrap.

now even though skill trees have no place in the world of role-playing, i do have some personal headcanons as to which abilities timmy has. under the cut, cuz it’s kinda long.

“So uhh- yeah. I was pretty sure you were going to give me whiplash with how quick you’d say ‘NO’ so I didn’t really bother...”

“But, I dunno. Whatever’s good for you is good for me? Aside from killing a bunch of bandits, since that’s the exact thing I want to take a break from.”

"Just eff-why-eye..." "I'm pretty sure my dick's the same size as Jack's."

“Sometimes, it’s shoot or be shot. Nobody cares how old you are, here.”

“Okay, that’s true but-”

I don’t like it? It shouldn’t be that way? His points held no weight, this was Pandora- whole different set of rules. But there was a world of difference between killing to survive and killing for the thrill. He wasn’t so certain Vault Hunters were as conflicted as he was when it came to taking a life.

“Whatever, just.... Forget I said anything.”

If Athena had doubted herself or her assumption of the double’s true identity, she didn’t show it. Whether or not the double knew it, Athena had been keeping an eye on him. She tried to herself that it was because of his continued affiliation with Hyperion– that she wanted to see if he turned out anything like his boss. But she knew it was more than that. He probably knew it was more than that.

She’d always had a bit of a soft spot for the doppelgänger. 

“I’ll explain later,” her voice came out as a hiss, even in spite of the smirk twisting across her lips. Amused as she might have been at his reaction, now certainly wasn’t the time to let her guard down. Given their proximity to one another, and the fact that she stuck out like a sore, red thumb, they were at the highest point of risk. Just as she had no doubt about the identity of her friend, she knew there was no question of how the workers would react to her presence. 

Her hand drifted to her side once more, checking the small device against her thigh before readying itself against the pistol strapped down there.

“Move your ass, Jack.” She scanned the area again, making note of each area a target could hide behind. Each empty alcove she spotted would serve as a potential vantage point, should anything go south.

At least his gift will get some use out of it, she thought to herself.

Just as Timothy knew his own schedule, the engineers and architects had gotten a feel for when ‘Jack’ would come strolling in. He had a feeling they walked away from him just as irritated as he was. But it meant that focus was diverted to other areas, that a lot of guards went on lunch break just as he went on his rounds.

It meant the chances of anyone seeing Athena were VERY low.

“Yeah, I’m just- it’s close, don’t worry.”

Why are you here? Are you going to kill me? Are you going to kill Jack? Athena’s presence demanded even more questions, but she swore she’d explain later. Which was probably a good idea considering that the possibility of audio surveillance was very real (the cameras weren’t set up yet). 

The entrance required clearance, but not of the ahhhh- biometric persuasion. He would simply be able to input his executive code and they’d be able to get in.

“So.... Pardon our dust?” He chuckled weakly, gesturing Athena to head in before him: Ladies first and all that. “Unless it’s actually asbestos... In which case we should just... Find another place.”

MVP Status: Those that have been around since my early rping days, even before I entered this fandom. 

@ceoatlast: I shouldn’t have to talk about him, but Weasel is probably the reason I stuck with roleplaying. He first talked to me on his Sufferer roleplay blog and was really sweet from the get-go. It took us a year to really talk ooc but???? Honestly I wouldn’t be here if not for him.

@trolljacksparrow: EMM! To be honest I almost forgot Emm which is a fucking travesty because she has been such a positive influence in my life. To be honest she’s more like my little sister than my actual sisters and I honestly shed a tear every now and again over how much she’s grown up.

Anyways she’s super beautiful and fabulous and she is always there for me. 10/10 would recommend.

@dxhlcommando​: Jame is life. Jame is beautiful. We first started talking on my Carol Maclaine blog and they were always really fun to talk with. They had really great ideas to write with and were always so eager about my posts and writing? I was new to the horror rp fandom and had heard horror (hah) stories about the Silent Hill fandom, but instead of being chased out I became an honorary Loud Mountain member. 

If ever there was a blog I was perfectly happy on, it was Carol. And Jame made that possible. I’m stoked to be in the same fandom as them again. 

@deviloutofhell: Sly also came from this period of time, and I’m incredibly lucky to have met him. He’s an incredible writer that puts a huge amount of time into his characters. And he’s always been good to me. He never fails to put a smile on my face and he’s been there for me more times than I can remember.

@leaddybox​: Is literally always there to lend an ear. Is super creative with rp. Has really great fucking art? 

I love leaddy my god. I was so hesitant to follow her at first and I dont’ remember why because she’s always been sweet and understanding. She’s another one of those people that I’m really proud to have seen grow. 

@charybdiis​: I honestly don’t remember how we started talking???? I know I loved your Angel and I went running to Carrie when you made her but I’m not sure when we really connected. It feels like you’ve always been there. You’re always really wonderful to talk to and your OC is so well thought out and unique. 

@apairofjacks​: I went through a lot of rough patches after everything happened with my Athena blog. One person that never turned their back on me was this guy right here. I think it’s been a solid year since I was 100% comfortable on Athena, but I swear he hasn’t stopped encouraging me. He’s the reason I’m toeing the water on my Athena and the reason I want to get back into her. But also he’s been really supportive with other stuff and he’s just???? really great to have around.

Amazing People: A collection of people who I’ve just met but have already made me feel super welcome in the fandom/rp community.

@ceoatlast

I mean… I’m good with a gun? I could do security or something.

If not that, I also have degree in creative writing- so, maybe, advertising?

#I put vault hunting down as experience#not really sure how much that’d… help

[saintadonis]

You still in the Vault Hunting business? Maybe you could test out some products for me for now.

[apairofjacks-archived]

Kinda. I think Pandora's fresh out of Vaults, though.

So you'd pay me to point and shoot?

i would've said to take a moment of silence in memory of rhys's ass. but it never existed to begin with so-
