Borderlands is a game for most gaming platforms (360, PS3, PC), that takes place on a world called Pandora. Pandora is a barely hospitable planet that was originally intended to be a colony of the newly born space-faring human race. However, the colony that was established fell into disrepair fairly quickly, and soon after, the entire world fell into anarchy. Pandora is a world that is covered in mostly desert or steppe terrain, with ice at the poles, a few small seas, and a few marshes and even a little jungle. Across the entire surface, there are constant threats to human life; Skags, Spiderants, Rakk, to name a few. These hostile creatures, mixed with the arid climate make for a tough living for those who have chosen to stay and battle out a survival on Pandora. Most of the territory on Pandora is divided up into territories ruled by Bandits. These bandits preside over their clan as well as towns and villages in their territory. They extort from the people in these towns, much like a feudal lord in the early middle ages. These bandits tend to be the toughest and most dangerous people around, because if they aren't, then they don't last long. At the same time, however, the best Bandit Leaders are smart. In Borderlands and Borderlands 2, you play as a vault hunter, or a treasure hunter, so to speak. Bandits were usually portrayed as the enemies throughout the series. However, after the events of the first Borderlands, the Hyperion company, along with it's private army and massive amount of money, arms, and manpower, led by the extremely narcissistic and competent Handsome Jack, show up and begin ridding Pandora of it's Bandit "Infestation".
Imagine, the life of a Bandit Chieftain. The clan is strong, your extortion money is good, and your rivals haven't moved against you in a few days now! Life sure is good, isn't it? Well, what if, one day, you wake up, get up out of
Well, it's true. Get used to it, Sonny.
In this RP, each player will sign up to be, and play as a Bandit chieftain. Each of you will get your own domain, own clan, troops, etc. You are all competing for money, manpower, fame, and, above all, survival. Handsome Jack has begun his sweep across the Arid Badlands each day getting closer and closer to the large island off the Trash Coast you chieftains call home. His Loader army is wiping out bandit and non-bandit alike, and replacing them with high-rises, peace, Civilization! The word disgusts you. On the other hand, Hyperion has offered bounties on every Clan Leader's head - 1,000,000,000$ For each of you, dead or alive, delivered to Handsome Jack himself, only by another Chieftain, underlings will be shot. However, there are rumors, that, once you bring the
Synopsis: This RP takes place on Pandora during the events of Borderlands 2, but not, in any way, directly related to those events. Instead, you will each play as a bandit chieftain or clan leader, on a fictional island. Each of you will control a swath of territory that will be worth equal to each others territory. The rest of the Island is owned by the bandit known as The Czar. Although he has loose control on his territory, meaning you can travel through it unopposed, fight in it, etc, The Czar will still get the money and manpower from these lands. Handsome Jack, the infamous leader of Hyperion, and his army of robots, known as Loaders, in all their specializations (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Loader), are sweeping east through the Arid Badlands, and are nearing the Trash Coast, meaning you guys need to chose between trusting Jack, or trusting each other. Remember, there is a bounty on each of your heads worth 1,000,000,000$ offered by Hyperion, but only if another chieftain personally brings the body in for inspection. All the while, The Czar will attempt raids on you and all of you can attempt raids on The Czar, and wild animals, such as Rakk, Rakk Hive, and packs of Skags and Spiderants will be threatening you and your territory.
THA RULEZ.
1. I'm the OP. What I say, goes.
2. I reserve the right, at any time, to off any of you. This will be based on your participation, amount of posts, quality of posts, interaction with others, etc.
3. Don't talk about fight club.
4. This RP is not designed for one-liners.
5. You are welcome to ask me any question here or over TG.
6. I also reserve the right, at any time, to appoint one RPer as a Co-OP, if school and my job get in my way of posting updates.
7. Since I can't stress this enough, no bickering in the OoC. Just don't do it. It's spam and it makes my life harder.
8. Finally, No God-modding. This should be a standard by now. Yes, there may be PvP in this. If you aren't mature enough to lose in an RP you aren't mature enough to be in this RP.
