It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Please see our Discord server for OOC chat and further info.
(This RP has already begun, but the signups will remain open!)
So, you want to hear another story, eh? One about gigantic monsters that can eat continents whole? A legendary relic of power that could make any dream a reality? A group of badasses like the galaxy had never seen, and how they shaped Pandora into what it is today?
Gaha! Then come, listen to Marcus; have I got a story for you!
Pandora... has always been a world of violence and thievery. Bandits and psychos scatter themselves across the wasteland, lying in wait for whichever poor soul is unfortunate enough to come through their territory first. They say that on Pandora, if we could read, the only words that would be in our dictionaries are blood and money! So what is it that drives us 'fools' to stay here? Haha! That, my friend, is the promise of success!
Beneath the sand, rocks, and dirty piles of corpses lie the legendary Vaults, alien gateways to dimensions full of the world's greatest treasures! Money! Fame! Women! Power! But even though Pandora may hold most of the galaxy's Vaults...
...the want for more made us look to the stars! The Vaults had been found to exist on other planets where no adventurer had dared to go before!
Some brave souls who believe they can best the guardians of these Vaults and welcome the peril of the quest become Vault Hunters, a collection of the galaxy's biggest badasses- or to some, the galaxy's greatest fools. Some, they are successful. Others... not too much.
But there was a day that everything Pandora had known changed. The Vaults began to cause catastrophes! They moved the continents, made frightening hurricanes, created waves in the oceans that swallowed the edges of land whole! And then... they appeared.
They were called Mutants, for they were creatures Pandora had never seen before! The Mutants attacked towns and bandit settlements, killed the men, the women, the children! Well, maybe the Mutants weren't so different from the bandits, but whatever. They came out of whirlpools of bright light with a thunderous clap, bright enough to blind a man for the rest of his life!
Many died struggling to fight these Mutants, but Vault Hunters, soldiers, and mercenaries united themselves to defend the defenseless against the beasts of nightmares! But there was one more thing that helped Pandora battle these spawns of hell. From the same portals came heroes of myth. People who were not from Pandora, but had the same spirit! Animals like the mutants who spoke and became our allies! People who could raise seas of rock with a wave of their hand! They came to our aid and fought by our side in the darkest hour...
Of course, the question remained. What mysterious power had provoked the Vaults and brought these freaks to our doorstep? The remnants of the Children of the Vault, a fanatical group of psychos praising a dead queen, were seeking whatever it was. The Crimson Raiders, the protectors of Pandora, had begun the race to discover what was causing these strange happenings, oblivious to what power truly awaited them...
Our story begins here, on Pandora, with a new group of these heroes of myth appearing from their portals, a quiet town facing threat of attack from bandits, and most importantly, me...
1. First and foremost: all of RPNation's rules apply here!
2. This thread is for IC chat only, so please keep all OOC chat in our Discord! Trust me, we have a lot of fun discussions there.
3. Of course, absolutely no OOC drama is allowed. Please redirect OOC issues to PMs/DMs only and settle them there.
4. Please be respectful to co-GMs and council! They will be trying their best to help me run this smoothly, and if they see behavior deemed unfit, whether it be towards them or fellow RPers, then appropriate action will have to be taken. But don't worry about that; I know you guys are chill.
5. No godmodding or metagaming, as always!
6. This RP welcomes RPers of all types! From one-liners to the multi-paragraphers and the first, the second, and third-person RPers, everyone can join! However, do try to refrain from text speak ("u" in place of "you", "2" in place of "to", etc.), and do attempt to be as grammatically correct as possible. I do understand mistakes, though; English is tough!
7. Duos (two characters per player) are allowed, but they have a limit of sixteen (originally ten).
8. No knowledge of Nuclear Throne or Borderlands is needed for this RP, as information will be supplied over the course of the story! That being said, there will be some Borderlands series spoilers, as this takes place after the events of 3!
9. Characters you sign up with in this RP will have their powers here. Go wild!
10. Duos now do not have a limit! Go crazy!
11. If you're just now joining, feel free to contact me on how we can bring your character in!
12. HAVE FUN!
This roleplay will focus heavily on an open-ended, open-world mechanic. What this means is that you- not just the whole cast, but you- drive the story. You can make decisions that change entire chapters, join any faction you wish or even go solo, go any place on Pandora (or perhaps later, even the galaxy!) you wish, choose to kill major characters, and more. As the GM, I will do my best to create a story that molds around every individual cast member, but remember that you have a lot of power here.
A lot of power. You can change the ending of the whole RP.
While I have a set story for this RP planned, it will only be followed in its original form if my prompts are followed to a T. If you, at any point, believe your character would do such-and-such, then please, do so! Now, this does not mean you should forget to be respectful to others, especially your fellow RPers. If you plan to do something big (ex. attack others in the cast or do something that would probably alter events majorly), talk it out OOC in our Discord server. If other people are okay with you doing whatever it is you want to do, then go on ahead!
Welcome to Pandora, kiddo. There are no rules here.
('cept for the previous section.)
But remember:
actions you make may have consequences...
Appearance: Self-explanatory. Just a picture is a-okay!
Name: What is your character's name? Do they generally go by an alias/nickname?
Age: Chronologically, how old is your character? If you wish to establish a difference between physical/biological age and chronological age, you may!
Canon: What does your character originate from? If your character is an OC, just say "OC". If your character is an OC specifically from an established canon, put the name of the canon and "OC" next to it.
Powers / Abilities / Equipment: What is your character capable of, and if they have notable items they carry around, like weapons, is there anything special about them? While I’ll be lenient with what to nerf and what not to, naturally, you know the drill. In any case, even just a Wiki link is fine.
Personality: What does your character act like, typically? Again, just a Wiki link is acceptable.
Short Bio: What is your character's backstory in a nutshell leading up to how they came to come here? Once again, pretty much just a Wiki link is acceptable.
Other Info: Optional. Just basically any extra info you feel is necessary that the GM should know about.
