(The Galaxy is a universe full of danger and madness, but for certain individuals it can be a place to earn your living, individuals like Vault Hunters. Vault Hunters are hired or independent mercenaries who's number one goal is to find ancient alien vaults that contain loot and advanced technology. But the vaults also house a powerful beast in each one that must be defeated first.) (Galaxy info: Guns are as common as water and have many special effects depending on their manufacturer for example torgue makes explosions. There's enemies galore, with there seldom being Badasses - tougher, more powerful variants.) (Borderlands is composed of many NPCs. Each has their own personality, desires, race, motivations, and distinct way of speaking.)

Synopses:

Following the fall of Hyperion's Helios Station on the lawless shithole of Pandora, and the demise of Handsome Jack a new threat has since sprung up. It is seven years after the events of Borderlands 2. The Crimson Raiders, under the new leadership of Lilith, the Siren, are now contending against the encroaching arrival of the Children of the Vault, an overwhelmingly large cult started by the Calypso Twins, Tyreen and Troy. The Calypso Twins are prolific ECHOnet streamers, and managed to capitalize upon the easily manipulable crowds of bandits and marauders galaxy-wide through their god-like displays of power and gratuitous, senseless murder for the cameras. With several bandit tribes and greedy, prospective factions and agents now unified by the banner of the COV, the Crimson Raiders must stand their ground against the Twins, defending not just their home planet of Pandora, but the entire universe, from certain destruction, as the COV seek to open as many Vaults as possible and acquire power beyond fathoming, believed to be in possession of the Vault Map.

Important Characters:

Some important named characters and NPCs are as follows:

• Claptrap: Claptrap is the last of the CL4P-TP line of steward bots. Calling himself 'General of the Crimson Raiders', he is a somewhat unwelcomed part of the crew aboard Sanctuary III, offering help with tasks and moral support that often doesn't get too far.
• Sir Hammerlock: Gentleman, hunter, scholar, proud sponsor and peruser of Jakobs armaments. Sir Hammerlock has chosen to settle down in Eden-6, for the most part, together with his lover, Wainwright Jakobs. He still occasionally goes out on hunting trips to sate his thirst for adventure.
• Lilith: A rare Siren, and one of the original Vault Hunters. She resides aboard Sanctuary III.
• Brick: One of the original Vault Hunters. This mastodon of a man enjoyed punching bandits' brains clear out their noggins as much as he enjoyed spending time with his fellow Vault Hunters. Nowadays, he works for the Crimson Raiders as part of the 'B-Team', together with Tiny Tina and Mordecai.
• Mordecai: Mordecai was one of the original four Vault Hunters responsible for freeing (and killing) the Destroyer, from the first Vault. He and his avian companion, the blood-talon bird Talon, remain inseparable. Nowadays, he chooses to take life easy. Maybe too easy. He's a good informant still working for the Crimson Raiders, but he spends most of his evenings drunk or picking off hostiles with his excellent marksmanship.
• Tiny Tina: She's a young demolitions expert, who works with the Crimson Raiders as part of their 'B-Team'.
• Dr. Patricia Tannis: Tannis' brilliant mind has been burdened with unspeakable trauma. She knows more than anyone else about the significance of Eridium - and the Vaults, coupled with the ancient Eridians - on Pandora, and most of the galaxy for that matter. Tannis resides in Sanctuary III.
• Marcus Kincaid: Prolific arms dealer, holding a monopoly over most of the guns and ammo trade in the galaxy. He lives in Sanctuary III, and owns most of the Ammo Dump and Guns machines in the galaxy.
• Dr. Zed: The titular Dr. Zed is the proprietor of Dr. Zed's Portable Medical Clinic vending machines, where he sells medicine, shields and class mods. His current location is unknown, but it is presumed he lives somewhere in Pandora.
• Mad Moxxi: Once the owner of Moxxi's Underdome, one of the largest arena rings in Pandora, the spectacular, seductive bombshell Moxxi has since moved on to own a smaller business endeavor, Moxxi's Bar and Pizza Parlor, in Sanctuary III.
• Ellie: Mad Moxxi's second daughter and Scooter's sister. The very obese, yet very mechanically competent Ellie echoes her late brother, Scooter, and his knowledge of mechanical components and engines. She's outgoing and affectionate, but doesn't take too kindly to those who mock her weight or appearance. She got Sanctuary III in working order, and now serves as the onboard mechanic and maintenance operator.
• Crazy Earl: Crazy is the best word to describe Earl, a recluse who lives behind a reinforced, twenty-padlocked door in Sanctuary III's lower hull.
• Maurice: Maurice is a person-sized uplifted Saurian residing in Sanctuary III, invited aboard by Patricia Tannis as part of a 'cultural exchange program'. He speaks bluntly in third-person speech.
• Vaughn: Vaughn is left without a clan, but that doesn't dampen his spirits, as he joins the Crimson Raiders in their plight versus the COV. He's set himself up at Roland's Rest in Pandora.
• Rhys Strongfork: Rhys is a handsome, clean-cut man with an outgoing, if rather nervous streak. He is the CEO of Atlas. He stands to lose a lot, as Katagawa Jr., CEO of Maliwan, is aggressively trying to merge Atlas into the Maliwan family. He resides in the Meridian Metroplex, in Atlas HQ.
• Maya: Maya is a former Vault Hunter. She's an attractive woman with slightly pale skin, long blue hair, yellow eyes, and lips also painted blue. Because the monks of Athenas wouldn't dare raise a hand to defend themselves, she has taken it upon herself to fend off against attempts at warfare from Maliwan, whilst instructing her protégé, Ava, on the duty and discipline of being a Siren.
• Zer0: Zer0 is a former Vault Hunter, an unidentified humanoid clad in a sleek, armored black and grey bodysuit, with a visor helmet that fully conceals all of their features. Zer0 remains under employment by Atlas, serving as a highly capable operative under their payroll, and a close friend to Rhys.
• Ava: Ava is a young girl with short dark blue bangs, a hexagon-patterned hoodie, black combat pants, and black and red sneakers. She is currently Maya's protégé, and often tries to get involved in any action in which Maya herself participates, but she's often rebuffed or told to hunker down somewhere safe, and that the time for her to fight will come eventually.
• Lorelei: Lorelei is a guerrilla fighter, who operates out of the Meridian Outskirts and Metroplex in Promethea. She leads the civilian's guerrilla movement against Maliwan, hoping to defend her planet from Maliwan's occupation and safekeeping any refugees that can be rescued. She works in conjunction with Atlas soldiers to achieve this.
• Wainwright Jakobs: Wainwright is found on Eden-6, in Knotty Peak at Floodmore Basin, ousted from his ancestral home of Jakobs Manor by Aurelia Hammerlock with the help of the Children of the Vault. He aims to keep the Jakobs name built upon reliance, civility and honor, much like his father Montgomery Jakobs, and promises to 'emblazon his family crest upon the craven ass' of whomever contends against him in his plight.
• Aurelia Hammerlock: The heiress of the Hammerlock family fortune, Aurelia is the sister of Sir Alistair Hammerlock, with whom she shares a strained relationship due to her miserable treatment of him. Recently, she's taken over Jakobs Lodge with the help of the Calypso twins, turning Aurelia into the new CEO of Jakobs.
• Katagawa Jr.: The usurper of Maliwan and current CEO of the company. Katagawa Jr. is an impeccably groomed and well-tailored young man, one of 11 older siblings, all of whom he conspired against and successfully murdered in pursuit of becoming the company's chief executive. He's currently leading many hostile military invasions against planets like Promethea and Athenas, being especially fixated on Rhys, regarding him with thinly veiled hostility as a 'brother' and 'partner in business', whilst threatening to turn the Atlas HQ into a duplex with an orbital strike if Rhys doesn't hand over the company.
• GenIVIV: GenIVIV is a Maliwan brand security AI installed onboard the now-defunct Jakobs flagship Family Jewel. Since the Family Jewel contains a fragment of the Eden-6 Vault Key, she was contacted by Aurelia Hammerlock, who offered her a dreadnaught of her own if she gave the Vault key fragment to her, which GenIVIV eagerly accepted.
• BALEX: BALEX is a navigation AI who is decently helpful, but has a terse, gangster-like demeanor, often speaking in ebonics and slang. After Montgomery Jakobs spent most of his ship-building budget on the Maliwan combat AI GenIVIV, he resorted to purchase a budget Tediore navigation AI to save his remaining funds, naming the AI "BALEX". GenIVIV ejected BALEX and inserted him into a teddy bear plush before leaving him to the mercies of the local fauna.
• Typhon DeLeon: Typhon DeLeon is the first Vault Hunter. He's surprisingly short and chubby, defeating most preconceived notions of being a dashing, handsome explorer. He is never seen in person, only seldom appearing in his lost ECHO logs. He is shown as being a genuinely good guy and not a natural fighter; to survive, he follows his intuition and rolls with the punches. Typhon DeLeon's pursuit of the Vault isn't for fame or glory; he's driven by curiosity itself, driving him to unearth the secrets of the universe, but, as Typhon quickly realizes, the galaxy's corporations don't share his values. Despite this, he doesn't let the darkness of rival corporations and wars and betrayals get him down. Typhon was born to a family of turd farmers. His parents died when he was 16. Typhon wished to have a more exciting life than just as a 'turd farmer', so he hitched a ride onto a merchant ship bound for Promethea. This would trigger his many adventures and exploits, becoming the first Vault Hunter in the galaxy. He is secretly the father of Tyreen and Troy Calypso.
• Tyreen Calypso: Tyreen, God-Queen of the COV, is a boisterous young woman and cult leader. She lords over the COV with her streamer-like persona together with her twin brother, Troy.
• Troy Calypso: Twin brother of Tyreen Calypso, he is the only male Siren known to exist in the entire galaxy. Troy is the second-in-command of the COV and co-rules the cult with his twin sister, Tyreen.
