Enemies: Children of the Vault; Lilith (exes-- messy breakup); Hyperion (one-sided beef-- they have no clue who he is)

Occupation: Contracted mercenary for ATLAS

BnB Archetype/Class/Background: Enforcer, Berserker, Brutality

Planets of Residence: Eden-6 (until 16) -> Pandora (16 - ~35) -> Promethea (~35, current)

Time Period: Full Borderlands timeline; Was in his mid-to-late 20s during the events of Borderlands 1 and lived in the Dust during the Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 2. Current story takes place shortly before/right at the start of Borderlands 3.

Summary: After an 'unfortunate incident' that left him scarred and branded a wanted criminal on Eden-6, Valentine was forced to flee. He soon found himself on Pandora and was taken in by the Hodunks. Moxxi became his guardian, and Val spent the remainder of his teen years growing up with Ellie and Scooter.

When it was time to leave the nest, he wandered the wastes and eventually landed at the Goose's Roost in the Dust. After several waves of attacks from (B2) Vault Hunters, Valentine fled the Roost and set up camp in the Droughts.

He owes his survival to his faithful companion, Sweetie, an incredibly intelligent and truly massive bird of undetermined species from some unknown planet. (Sweetie is 4ft 10in tall and has a 12ft wingspan. He is canonically smarter than Valentine and strong enough to carry up a fully grown person + that person's additional gear/armor/weapons).

A fateful trip to a Gun Expo in the Highlands, a sizable explosion, and his apathetic "yeah, why not?" attitude made him what he is now-- an ATLAS merc fighting to protect Promethea... and maybe hunt down a vault or two along the way.

Tags to use: Blands OC; Vaulthunter; Mercenary; BnB character: Berserker; Corporate: Atlas

Want to be featured on the banner: Yes, please! If you're able and/or willing to include Sweetie in the banner, too, that'd be awesome! :)

Here are his reference images!

Turns out I can do a fair bit on one picture in 4 and a half hours.My hand will never forgive me though... Its not even finished yet!I wanted to do a little artwork for the new Borderlands game - because I dont think I've done that yet... I started a FL4K artwork months ago but I think it's long gone now...I've been playing as Amara lately, and I love it!

Cel shading but make it fashion. Honestly would die for this angry lesbian gladiator, I could not be happier seeing her and springs get together. Made my heart WARM 😭
