[b][color=royalblue]Appearance:[/color][/b] [img]http://orig02.deviantart.net/5890/f/2015/120/d/f/gaige_the_mechromancer__borderlands_2__by_lagunis-d8qg409.jpg[/img]
[b][color=royalblue]Equipment:[/color][/b] [list][*]Storage Deck - A highly advanced inventory system developed in the distant future, storage decks allow physical objects to be compressed into computer data and stored on a massive mobile hard drive, and reconstructed (or “digistructed” if you will) back into reality at the user’s demand. Currently Gaige’s storage deck can contain up with 12 objects.
[*]Maliwan Lightning SMG - A submachine gun manufactured by Maliwan, it doesn’t shoot traditional “bullets,” but converts live ammunition loaded into lightning shocks, dealing out energy based damage. Each magazine holds 22 rounds and it has a fire rate of 3.2/sec.
[*]Jakobs revolver - If it took more than one shot, you weren’t using a Jakobs! This sleek hand revolver holds a standard 6 shots, is powerful enough to puncture most metal armor plating,, fires as quickly as the user can pull the trigger, and the grip is made of a beautiful wood finish.
[*]TORGUE Shotgun - Highly inaccurate and only able to hold two shells before needing to be reloaded, this shotgun does the one thing that all TORGUE guns excel at: THE BULLETS *BLEEP*ING EXPLODE! 
[*]Maliwan Fiery Spike Shield - It’s dangerous for a teenage girl to roam around the horrible bullet-riddled, monster infested, bandit occupied, everything-trying-to-murder-you surface of Pandora. That’s why Gaige has a personal energy shield manufactured by Maliwan! It can take a fair amount of abuse before failing, and in that event Gaige just needs to get out of the heat of combat for a bit to let it recharge! Oh, and anybody that tries to melee Gaige while the shield is still active gets set on fire! WOO!
[*]Dahl ECHO HUD - This nifty device, created by the Dahl Corporation, gives a heads-up display for Gaige, detailing all manner of things that’s good to keep in mind at all times. It provides a compass so she always knows where she’s going, displays her shield’s current strength, keeps track of ammunition, allows access to a map (automatically filled in as the terrain is explored), provides a journal (both audio and written), can interface with similar technology, and helps her to be more aware of her surroundings in general.
[*][s][url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/borderlands/images/5/59/Gaige_%26_D374-TP_-_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20121012223718]D374-TP “Deathtrap”[/url] - A robot hand-built by Gaige to act as a “bully deterrent,” Deathtrap is about 6 feet tall, but floats at about an imposing 8 feet with its anti-grav propulsion system. Highly protective of Gaige, this synthetic creature looking to be cobbled together from spare parts and rust will defend its mistress and her friends to the last electric surge in its wiring. Outfitted with some truly impressive weaponry, which include digistruct claws able to tear apart flesh like a hot knife through butter, a highly inaccurate lightning bolt projector, and a shield regenerator, Deathtrap’s main failing is its low power supply, meaning that the majority of the time it has to be stored in Gaige’s personal storage deck and power beacon. When Deathtrap is unleashed, expect Hell to follow.[/s] Unfortunately when the virus struck, it corrupted Deathtrap's data in his personal storage deck, meaning Gaige currently has no way to digitstruct him. She's more than a little upset by this development, and is currently seeking a solution. [/list]
[b][color=royalblue]Abilities:[/color][/b] [list][*] Gadgeteer Genius - See Deathtrap? Gaige designed and built that. By herself. In her father’s garage. [i]As a school science fair project. [b]And it was meant to deter bullies.[/b][/i] Needless to say, Gaige works miracles with machines.
[*]Cybernetic - Gaige is, in only the loosest of terms, a cyborg. She accidentally cut her arm with a saw one day and figured, “Why bother wasting a healing hypo?” and lopped the rest of it off. She then built a robotic replacement, which contains Deathtrap’s personal digistruct beacon and storage deck. While the arm is strong enough to smash concrete, it’s not made with the same durability in mind, so it’s somewhat fragile. It also can’t interface with any technology, seeing as it’s only a prosthetic.
[*]ANARCHY!!!! - The longer she’s in a fight, the more fervent and, dare I say, insane Gaige gets. Once she’s fired off enough bullets, she changes from a chipper, somewhat hyper girl, into a hysterical machine of death. As she gradually slips down this path, her bullets, for whatever reason, fire off with greater and greater force, until eventually a single shot that normally wouldn’t scratch an alpha skaag becomes powerful enough to outright slay a rakk hive. That is, [i]if[/i] she can actually hit something.[/list]
[b][color=royalblue]Weaknesses and Limitations:[/color][/b] [list][*]Only Human - Gaige is, for all intents and purposes, a normal human teenage girl. Take away her equipment, and she’s only somewhat more athletic than your average fit 17 year old, quite squishy, and easily killable.
[*]Excitable Temper - Gaige is a bit hyperactive and passionate about everything she does and says. This includes her temper, so she can be easily angered if the right buttons are pressed (top of the list being bullies, stealing ideas, corrupt authority, or being that stupid bitchface Marcie Holloway). Naturally, this can lead to rash decisions and big mistakes.
[*]ANARCHY!!! - As Gaige’s battle lust grows, and her power swells, her aim suffers. At first it’s hardly noticeable, but at its worst the bullets she fires completely defy all known laws of physics, sometimes by firing behind her altogether![/list]
[b][color=royalblue]Personality:[/color][/b] Energetic, determined, passionate, highly intelligent, and anti-authoritarian are the key words to describe Gaige. She’s well educated on current events, and while she’s a bit of a social shut in, this hasn’t stopped her from broadcasting her own ECHO cast show (which has spiked in subscribers ever since Deathtrap killed that stupid bitchface Marcie Holloway and she was forced to stow away to Pandora!). It’s not that Gaige is a natural introvert per say, just that her interests generally keep her away from groups of people. She takes a strong dislike of anybody abusing others, whether this be bullies, or the entitled taking advantage of their power and positions. If you’re in a position to stop this sort of injustice, and you aren’t, then you’re just as bad in her eyes. FIGHT THE POWER! ANARCHY FOREVER! Because she has such mature interests and takes such a stance on intergalactic politics, Gaige is quick in an attempt to prove that she’s a “mature” woman so that her opinions aren’t just swept aside as the naive beliefs of some teenaged kid. Despite this, she is very much still a young girl, and enjoys a number of things you would expect her too, such as cute things and hot cocoa. 
[b][color=royalblue]Backstory:[/color][/b] Raised on Eden-6 by a loving and understanding father, it was quite apparent from early on that Gaige had a natural knack for technology and engineering. Life was comfortable and nice, but even in the distant future among other solar systems and galaxies there is one constant in life that will never really go away: high school life [i]sucks.[/i] It especially sucks when you have rich stuck up whore bitch-faces like [i]Marcie Holloway[/i] always acting superior and smug in your face. Whatever, Marcie doesn’t know anything. The only reason she’s even in this school is because her father has more money than [i]God.[/i] Oh, sorry, tangent. Anyway, Marcie inspired Gaige’s next science fair project: an anti-bullying robot! 

Enter Deathtrap, or as it was simply known back then, DT. Gaige spent many hours designing and building DT in her makeshift workshop based in her father’s garage, at one point accidentally cutting her arm, then deciding to slice it off entirely to replace with a robotic prosthetic she designed (no big deal, though dad kept throwing up, hahaha). Anyway, when all was said and done, DT was finished and he was glorious! That’s exactly why [i]Marcie[/i] decided to steal his design, made an imperfect replica, and had her rich as sin dad bribe the judges to give her first place while Gaige was dropped down to, wait for it, THIRD! THIRD PLACE for DT, while Marcie’s stolen and barely functional version won! Not only that, but Marcie immediately sold the design to the planet’s incredibly corrupt police force! The injustice! Gaige couldn’t let that stand, so she confronted Marcie about it, and what did Marcie do? She shoved Gaige! She had the gall to shove the girl she had stolen from and cheated! This activated DT’s anti-bullying protocols, so he went over to make Marcie leave Gaige alone with a little swipe of his digistruct claws. No biggie, just a warning, ya know? Unfortunately Marcie kinda… Um… Exploded. Yeah.

So because DT was a little too zealous in his programming, Gaige was escorted to the principal’s office and expelled, expelled! Can you believe it? Gaige was the real victim here! And to top it off, those same corrupt police were going to arrest her! Gaige did the only sensible thing she could do. After her father caused a distraction with a golf cart and a bunch of gasoline (go dad!) she stowed away on a transport ship off planet, headed for Pandora. Gaige headed right for the thick of it all, the most dangerous charted planet known to mankind. She was going to be a vault hunter! And Deathtrap was gonna help, too. 
[b][color=royalblue]Entry Point:[/color][/b] Handsome Jack has been thoroughly murderized and the Destroyer destroyed. Gaige and her friends recently got word of a large stash of pirate booty out in the sands...
