You all know Borderlands. Crazy guns being used by crazier people in order to get ridiculous payoffs from being that should honestly not be able to be controlled with a hunk of eridium-charged whatever.

The idea is that this RP takes place a good few hundred years after BL2. The old sirens are all dead, so an indeterminate amount remain in the universe, however because reasons only one siren character will be allowed in the roleplay. 

[b]The Backstory[/b]

"Pandora was controlled by Hyperion Corporation, Hesios is Dahl property, and Dahl is getting worked up. Supposedly there's another vault down in the depths of Hesios, and it's causing Hunters to flock to the largely lawful planet like moths to a flame. What was once a relatively peaceful industrial planet is being turned into an urban warzone as everyone tries to grab the four key shards.

Oh yeah, there's four of them. See, Dahl has known about the vault for a while, and was trying to get to it secretly. They knew what happened with Pandora and didn't want Vault Hunters and the other crazies coming, so they disguised the drill earthquakes as mining tremors for promethius, yes, the fuel, and searched for the key quietly. When they found the key, they shattered it into four separate parts and placed each part into the Dahl continental offices, which are built like fortresses at this point.

Unfortunately for Dahl however, they didn't expect a lot of crazies backed by Tourge and Tediore to start breaking everything open, and now Dahl only has two key fragments. One is securely in the hands of Maliwan.Inc, and the other is owned by a group of crazies hiding out in what used to be the planet's largest cities."

So, where do you come into play?

[b]The RP[/b]

Everyone in Hesios has been bought off by the weapons manufacturers. For the most part, Maliwan controls one of the key fragments and most of the planet's tropical regions, Tediore has full control of the artic zones, Dahl has general control over the urban areas and Tourge is encroaching on all of them. After the death of Handsome Jack in BL2, pretty much any power that Hyperion had was wrested from them, leading them to control only a few island on the fringes of the area. Vladorf has chosen not to get involved, as they reason that waiting until one person has all of the key fragments, then swooping in like a vulture and stealing it is a better course of action. Because of this, Vladorf guns are basically non-existent as well.

You, are a new Vault Hunter into all of this mess. You lose most of your gear after a shaky landing (by which I mean that Tourge wiped out half of the drop ships and nearly destroyed yours,) and you've landed right in the middle of Run, the new capital of Hesios, currently under attack by literally every major and minor faction and currently the location where the largest key fragment is, which is owned by Dahl. For now.

Have fun with that.
