Timothy Lawrence

So the twice-dead Late Timothy Lawrence reduces himself to a figure outside the mainstream of society, a walk-on part in his own life. [Indie RP/Ask blog for Timothy Lawrence from the Borderlands games | Icon art: @queerzubat]

I never made a mobile-friendly post with my Verses and Rules so... just check under the cut, I guess?

I'll also pin it to be easy to access.

VERSES

Borderlands 3 - After Jackpot

The “default” verse for my roleplay, unless stated otherwise. Thanks to the help of Moxxi and the Vault Hunters, he was able to flee from that golden Jack-shaped prison and try to search a new place where he could start over and finally live his own life, even if having the voice and appearances (and also DNA) of a deceased dictator will not make it easy. To overcome all of this and the traumas he suffered, Timothy will need time…but now he finally has all the time he needs. Free. (small note: for this verse, Tim got a new hand thanks to FL4K building it like they do for their pets)

Pre-Sequel - Jimothy the Body Double

Basically, a verse that takes place in the Pre-Sequel Era after he got tricked into the surgery, whole body-double/Vault Hunter gig.

Borderlands 2 - Still a Doppelganger

After the events of Pre-Sequel and before the death of Handsome Jack, a sort of AU where he didn’t get sent to the Jackpot and continues acting as a double for Jack. He was branded, dons the mask, and he’s the firts of the doubles…the other double (mostly pocket-watch doubles) consider him being the “favourite” since he’s the first one, but he suffers the same consequences - or probably worse - as the others if he stumbles upon the wrath of Jack. He doesn’t like having to continue being a double, but what other option there is for someone like him?

Post-TPS/early BL2 and after - Timothy the Renegade

Another sort of AU. After the events of TPS and after the branding, Timothy finally finds the courage to flee from Jack and Hyperion. Faking to being busy with some business for Jack on Concordia, he stops by Nurse Nina to get the infamous bomb out of his body and remove the clasps of the mask (the surgeries were irreversible but at least those things where fixable) - paying well to ensure that she’ll never tell that he has been there - and defects on Pandora. The best way to hide something, sometimes is in plain sight. Also, no one would notice someone that keeps his face hidden between all the masked bandits that live on that planet. There, he lives as a bounty hunter and by not staying too long on the same place.

His hair is kept long, in a low ponytail, the scarred face usually his hidden with goggles and a scarf, the voice is changed through a modulator that keeps hidden under the scarf. Tim still has the watch with his diji-jacks, he was able to alter their code so Jack couldn’t use the watch to track him down nor control it, and also made them able to mimic his disguise so they won’t out his identity. No more silly one-liners, their AI was improved after the Elpis’ events.

Pre-Canon - Freckled Ginger

Before the Pre-Sequel. Timothy was a simple guy - with ginger hair, freckles and glasses - attempting at completing his college studies while the loan he had to take was keeping him more than broke. But he didn’t want to go back to his family after he insisted to go to that college instead of a community one. He won’t be able to handle the shame of failing, nor having to admit that he has a big debt on his shoulders because he wanted to chase his dream to become a writer.

RULES

Basics

I have roleplaying experience, but not on Tumblr

English is not my language, sorry in advance

I’m shit at formatting, but I’ll try my best

Even though my schedule is embarassingly open, I can’t assure to be active often or be able to reply fast because of both timezones (I’m in GMT+1) or because my mental health told me to go fuck myself to take a break for a bit.

Will be roleplaying when I’m on computer, because I hate that the phone keyboard hides almost all the text editor of Tumblr app.

Now the real rules:

I won’t be writing any sexual NSFW content: I’m not comfortable with that.

Any other thing (adult or not) found in the Borderlands universe is fine with me, just don’t make me write the hanky-panky.

As stated before, I’m not good with formatting posts

I don’t have a fixed lenght for replies, but I’ll try to adapt to the other’s style… but I can’t guarantee to be able to write sth lenghty bc of language skills barrier.

There won’t be icons in my replies because I know myself and I’ll end up forgetting to add them quite soon.

I’m not selective currently, I just want to roleplay and have fun. Probably I will not be following back non-rp blogs simply to keep dash & notifications tidy.

OC friendly! I love seeing Borderlands OCs and if you have an about page I’ll surely will be giving it a look!

Multiverse: mainly BL3 post Jackpot DLC, but I’m open to roleplay other timelines and Verses/AUs

About this, if you have any idea for a verse/au feel free to message me to discuss plots and stuff together!

Since it’s Multiverse I guess that it could also be Multiship, but I don’t really care about ship stuff. Let’s see how the plot goes naturally.

No Godmodding but this should be like the basic thing in rp.

Also!

The Timothy that I’ll roleplay will be a mix of Canon and Headcanons, so it could not fit the expecations

Mun is not the Muse: me and Timothy may have a bunch of traits in common, but we are not the same thing. Please keep them separated.

On this note, no OOC drama. I don’t want you drama, nor I care about it. Keep your drama for yourself because I have my share of drama irl: if I’m here I want to have fun and not suffer anxiety/panic attacks because of some shit internet drama.

I’m kinda shy and anxious so I can’t guarantee to be the one initiating the interactions, but I’ll try my best.

character profiles for ntftbl from the website

looks like they spelled phuong's name wrong, but...descriptions under the cut!

ANU: Dr. Anuradha Dhar is an enthusiastic-but-tense genius who abhors violence and killing. Despite being prone to panic attacks when things get hectic, Anu always trusts in the power of science to somehow make it all better. Did we mention she works for Atlas? Well, you know what they say: "If you can't beat 'em, join the company and try to make positive change internally!"

OCTAVIO: Octavio Wallace-Dhar leaves the booksmarts to his older sister, Anu. Everything he needs to know was picked up on the Promethean streets. Always one to leave a lasting impression, Octavio is his own hype man, complete with a state-of-the-art ECHOdex full of black-market apps and hack-ready functionality. Octavio may not always make the best decisions—or even kinda-passable ones—but his heart is usually in the right place.

FRAN: Fran Miscowicz is mad. You'd be mad too if some Maliwan jackhole shot a laser through your small business. So yeah, Fran's got a bone to pick and some anger issues to sort out… but that doesn't mean she isn't without sweetness, charm, or a real lust for life. Fran contains multitudes—as does her trusty hoverchair, which is chock full of useful gadgets for both work and survival situations. On Promethea, the two often go hand-in-hand!

LOU13: An eloquent assassination bot with instant access to a database of known targets, L0U13 is not without manners (for instance, he'd never kill you before learning your name). Programmed for a life of calculated murder, L0U13 aspires to more. This dapper killing machine longs to give humanity the gift of laughter and is pursuing a side career in comedy. Fascinated by the group dynamics between Anu, Octavio, and Fran, L0U13 is happy to track the strength of their ever-evolving bonds via a rather unconventional rating system.

SUSAN: Susan Coldwell didn't become the CEO of the Tediore weapons corp by being nice or playing fair. If you're going to break the glass ceiling, you might as well cut a few throats with the pieces. That's just smart, economic, Tediore-brand thinking. Now that she's at the top, she's investing in a business plan that will shake-up the weapons industry. Why sell weapons to the common man when you can weaponize the common man?

PHUONG: As a Research Assistant at Atlas, Phuong's primary responsibility is to keep Anu grounded and focused. Other responsibilities include talking to test subjects, cataloguing rare ores, and keeping tabs on the hot company gossip. After a long day helping Anu invent world-changing technology, Phuong loves to kick back with pals and play Vaultlanders.

TIMM-E: TIMM-E is imbued with a sense of divine purpose: to assist Rhys Strongfork, CEO of Atlas, with any and all of his needs. Whether that means managing his calendar or turning into a chair to cushion Mr. Strongfork's behind, no request is too big or too small.

SPONSORBOT: Part life-coach, part spiritual guru, part legally mandated companion, Sponsor-Bot helpfully reminds Fran to take a breath, calm her nerves, and avoid smashing the skulls of those in nearest proximity.

...TIMM-E?????? THIS IS TIMOTHY LAWRENCE ERASURE!

I want to adopt a fourth cat but I'm worried that Mr Yowls The Butcher would start a blood feud in my house against the new kitty :(

[designcr]

reblog if you’re 25+ and still roleplay; or if you believe older muns have a place in the rpc and shouldn’t be told to give it up when they turn 30. 

i received this anon & i just want to make a point.

This was funny silent, but HILARIOUS with sound.

[thelatetimothylawrence]

Happy Mother's day to my mother that worked hard to be able to raise me as a single mom, who I disappointed by going to college for creative writing and ending up with massive debt and that laughed when Hyperion told her that I died. But I'm still sure that she was crying internally.

I hope she's still around happy and in good health!

[venom-visor]

"Cats" this and "cats" that, what I wanna know is how the hell anyone is out there with more than one???

How in the fresh hell are they doing it??

[thelatetimothylawrence]

It's- it's pretty easy tho? I currently have three cats and they give me no trouble at all.

Okay, when I first brought in Mr. Yowls the Butcher, it wasn't easy at all because he kept trying to fight with the other cats and while Felicity was able to retaliate, poor dumbass Beans got beaten a lot of times. And also the lil' shit scratched most of my furniture before he calmed down and settled in my house.

[venom-visor]

Three?!?!?!?!?

How big is your house?? How the hell would you deal with in-fighting without getting put in intensive care?? They STAY in your house??????

[thelatetimothylawrence]

It's a small cottage outside the nearby village, nothing special or big. It's just enough for me and the cats. Felicity and Beans sleep either on the bed or the couch, while Mr Yowls prefers sleeping on a high shelf.

And… intensive care??? Okay, scratches and bites from a cat that's around 10 kilos hurt like a bitch, but not that much to be sent to intensive care!

…

…maybe what you call "cat" is different from mine? Could be a thing?

[venom-visor]

..... Describe your cats.

[thelatetimothylawrence]

Hmmm... I dunno? Common small felines? Maybe they are more common on the inner planets and close areas?

Felicity is a calico with medium lenght fur and a bit on the chonky side with her 6 kilos, while Beans is a red tabby with short fur, kinda small, around 3 or 4 kilos, no thoughts behind his eyes. Mr Yowls the Butcher is on the bigger side for a cat, ground to shoulder is uhhh dunno.... 30 centimeters or so? Long fur, a bit muscly, as I said weights around 10kilos but he doesn't like being carried around so I haven't weighed him in a while.

[venom-visor]

Ah. These are definitely very different kinds of cats, at least size wise.

Mine is uh. When she's sitting, the top of her head is at my shoulder. Claws are about 2-3 cm wide, and she's like twice my size in mass.

But uh, noticeably absent from your description of your cats, she has chitinous plates? And spines.

Do yours not... have those?

[thelatetimothylawrence]

Uh- from your description, I'd say that they are surely different animals even if both are called "cats".

...my cats have only fur, squishy toe beans, teeth, whiskers and retractable claws that are...uhh way smaller than your cat's for sure.
