Below is a completed example of a submission, of one of the first two goobers to appear on the banner. They are feeling lonely here, so give them some company!

Name: Tom “Tommy” Lawrence

Gender: Male

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: Aro/Ace

Allegiances: Atlas

MBTI: intj 1w2

Occupation: Crimson Lance corporal, Pilot in training

Residence: Promethea, Meridian

Time period: Somewhere in the future after events of BL3

Summary:

The youngest son of the CEO and the General, the Little Prince of Promethea, all of this legacy and responsibility is crushing for him. Tommy fears he will forever live in his fathers' shadows, unable to keep up. He is an overachiever, and tries to be like them both, constantly overworking himself and falling into hysteria of not being able to meet his own expectations, ignoring achievements he already made. Often wondering if he was even worth the money spent on his creation, worried about becoming a wasted investment.

Fuuuuck here comes Mr Caede.......

Hey guys sorry for the absence again ! The #horrors persist but so do I. Here's my slenderman.

[Bio and other fun stuff under the cut!]

Archer Caede (He/Him, allegedly), also known by his act name The Sureshot, is the secondary protagonist of Caede Tales and the leader of the Hireguns. A smooth-talking criminal with ambitions much bigger than himself, he spends a lot of his time with his friends going around Pandora and setting up shop at random popular locations in order to hopefully attract the eyes of visiting tourists and vault hunters, all looking to find challenges and sights around the planet... only to end up in the same ditch they all do, stripped clean of all belongings. He embodies the Leader of the operation, offering guidance, tips and ammo for whatever poor sod happens to cross his path, knowing they'll end up with a blade in their backs either way. Archer tends to bite off more than he can chew and shoot for stars much outside his reach, but it doesn't stop him from getting back up and trying again... Always.

- Archer is the speaker for the group most often, harkening with the responsibility of looking out for everyone and ensuring safety... for his own guys. The tourists? He could care less most of the time. Every now and then he'll show a shred of compassion or pity, but those moments are few and far in-between. Getting him to sympathize with anyone is a monumental task of its own.

- Archer's cheery disposition and near permanent smile are part of the character he plays for the operation, but it's also a part of the person he pretends to be around people just in general. Some time ago, he found out people liked him more if he was smiling, and so he's been doing it pretty much all day, everyday.

- ...Around people, at least. On his own, Archer tends to be more introspective and quiet, usually dissociating for long periods of time if left unchecked as his mind tends to wander a lot. ALWAYS extremely alert to the point of absurdity however, so he can switch it on and off as needed.

- Brother in blood to Jonah, and Brother in consideration to Salt. Considers the three of them to be a package deal, and would hate to be separated.

- Walks around terrifyingly quiet, even when he doesn't mean to, and ends up scaring people a lot. Learnt this behaviour from his mentor Levant and her very intense training on sniping, but ended up internalizing it for his day to day life. A pattern of behaviour that surely repeats in No Other Areas.

- Insists on being seen as normal and as boring as a human being can get, to the point of suppressing his own interests and passions from the public, in order to maintain his untouchable persona. No one is quite sure of what he likes or what he wants, and that makes it a lot easier to conceal his real ambitions... which, come to think of it, he doesn't know them that well either. It's all hidden between layers of irony he's not willing to lift yet.

- Gun was a rare find from a vault hunter he looted, switchblade was a gift from his mentor, and the charm on it was a rare find in a garage sale. Score !!!!

Mistakes Were Made

(just a rambling exploratory story to experiment how characters would interact with each other while I'm bored at work) Tellumë leaned on the edge of the desk, her arms crossed as she stared ahead towards nothing. Brows narrowing, the red glow from her modified eye lessened in the room as she thought over how her evening would go. Her boss chatted on the Echo behind her, complaining about something related to stocks and profit margins. She was so bored, and quite a bit unsure as to why she was stationed here. Zero was currently on planet, and much faster than her when it came to the security of this particular CEO. She heard Rhys hang up with an irritated groan, the creak of his chair echoing in the large office as he leaned back in exasperation. Slighly turning, she peered over her shoulder at him to see him rubbing at his eyes tiredly, lazily tossing the device he had been using onto the desk. His fingers trailed down to mess with his moustache, eyes flicking over to her as he noticed her change in position. Rather than turn back away, she pouted at him, deciding to break the silence that had now settled. "So... it's been a long day. We're both tired it seems. Should I... go back to quarters?" "Oh no, no. Not quite yet uh... sorry." He leaned forward again, scrambling for some papers that were in a hopeless, messy stack. "In spite of that not so great news, I still need to try and see where this company can improve numbers." She let out a sigh, turning to her original position. "I no mean to be rude... you realize Zero is here, yes?" "Yes. I do." He stated bluntly, his Echo eye whirring to life as he started to scan the first page of his stack, glancing down the page to keep it stored for later. Tell fidgeted now, not liking that he didn't elaborate further. She opened her mouth a couple of more times, but no sound came out, deciding against interrupting his work. "You know you are allowed to talk to me." Rhys looked up now, right in time to catch her gaze as she shyly glanced at him. "I'm not him." "I just don't wish to disturb your focus, but I have to wonder why you want me here?" Sighing, she unclasped her arms, facing him fully. "I could be on patrol or... something." Rhys chuckled, much to her surprise, and didn't skip a beat in answering her and continuing to read. "You know who is on patrol right now. I understand you'd rather spend time with them, but to be honest, I mostly want to deprive them of your company. Especially with the past you all have had. And the past I've had with them." Clearing his throat, he acted as if he were done speaking now, as if he hadn't just dropped a bombshell on her. Feeling annoyed, she decided to toy with him, falling back to old habits to try and get what she wanted. Leaning her front on his desk, she started to drum her fingers annoyingly, staring him down while her robotic eye bored its light onto his face. He grimaced a bit but tried to ignore it, but it was always difficult for him to ignore her. "Are you jealous? Of my time with them?" "Of course not," he signed, rubbing his temple. "Although I would prefer you spent a bit less time with them, which is why you are here and they are out there. I don't trust them to keep this building safe, and so that is why this arrangement works." With a thoughtful 'hm', Tell stood back up straight and turned around, Jack's words to her at the back of her mind. Now was probably not a good time, but she saw the sweat on his brow and the twitch in his mouth. He wasn't telling her the full truth... yet.

So. Who's gonna tell her?

This sucker took me six hours, and I still think I can do Jack better. But it's an old, warped, and town propaganda poster. So we get what we get.

Seriously though girlie, might wanna get off of this planet.

I've posted her a couple times, but the crash refresher is: This is Daisy Belle, she was conceived about four years before BL2 (When Jack first became CEO) and has just been chilling in the background since. She's got a hell of a hacking arm and an instinct to mind her business.

I just think it's funny.

Oh Ana, I adore you and miss you! Finally gave this gal actual clothes. Now, fitted with an Echo eye, some remains of Rhys' old arm with some alterations, she is a walking computer! Now to follow the leader....

[gemteeth]

I've been playing BL3 again and started The Handsome Jackpot which has inspired me to revisit Borderlands ocs :) since a lot of my characters in Rite originally were Borderlands ocs!

I decided to give Hopper a glowing jacket, something he had made just for him from a visit to Promethea. He glows now! Have fun raiding gun companies, my beloved boy!
