Character Name: Gaige Series: borderlands Timeline: After hearing the truncated version of Athena's story in Boarderlands the Pre-sequel after having returned with Axton from hunting down Aurelia Hammerlock Canon Resource Links:Gaige's official Wiki page Borderlands 2 page Holodome onslaught page Original Character Background: N/A
Personality: At her core Gaige is your average Teenage Nerd girl, just amped up to 11. She loves cupcakes, unicorns, and hardcore robotics. She has high school rivalries that ended in inadvertent bloodshed, and she's on the run from the authorities starting a new life as a Vault Hunter. You know...normal high school stuff.
She can be very aggressive, learning in a short amount of time to be a brutal and violent warrior of the wasteland killing her way cheerfully through hordes and hordes of bandits and local wildlife to accomplish her goals. This may have left her a little morally disconnected causing her to do some things she regrets such as stealing the wig off a peaceful robot who was in love with another robot causing the former wig owner to go insane and die. But at least she finished the quest she was on and that was what was important at the time. Of course she's always been more about the results then thinking about the damage her impulsive plans may cause. Such as when she sliced off her arm to graft on a robotic prosthetic so she could win the science fair with her ultimate bully deterrent robot.
Despite her prone to violence attitude and rebellious nature, Gaige is a good person on the whole and does whatever she can to help the people around her. Be it helping a local hill billy try to seduce a girl, or saving the world from a monster that threatens to destroy it. She also has a soft spot in her heart for robots, A.I and her friends the other vault hunters. She looks to them as her new family and Gaige would do anything for her family. It's something she picked up from her dad who has put his life on the line for her more then once because he loves her and that's what fathers do for their brilliant criminal daughters.
She does tend to favor chaos and destruction over a carefully planned attack though. She loves the punk rock aesthetic and so she thrives on causing anarchy and chaos on the battlefield. To the point she has created a technology that allows her to shoot more powerfully while sacrificing her accuracy.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Beldum: Gaige's gimmick in Borderlands 2 is her ability to summon a hovering robot that fights alongside her, protects her and is often a much better fighter then she is. Beldum may start as a flying eyeball drone with one attack, but once they level up into Metang they honestly have a similar body structure to Gaige's robot Deathtrap. Arms, torso, no legs due to hovering. Claws for punching. The only big difference is Deathtrap has a bitty head and big torso where Metang is kind of more of a flying saucer type body. But she's not going to bodyshame him. She'll just be so proud of her little drone for evolving to something so cool. Password: This is where you'll put the passwords from the Rules and the F.A.Q. There are two words, to assure you've read both.
While Gaige has never hopped universes before, she's been all around Pandora which is enough adventure for anyone to feel an inflated sense of confidence. What could this cute looking town have that could in any way scare or overwhelm her that Pandora hadn't already thrown at her?
Still it took Gaige a couple hours to get her bearings. She was chased away from Goldenrod after spending the first hour going through peoples mailboxes and trash cans looking for loot she could stuff into her backpack. Then she figured out her Pokegear and spent the rest of her time pouring over it's functions and soaking up the new information like a highly caffeinated sponge. Once it dawned on her that she was in a world that matched a particular genre of her video game loving childhood, she knew what had to come next. She had to introduce herself to the other players! How else would she be able to join groups and maximize her potential for mad loot? And so without much thought or rehearsal she began broadcasting to the world at large.
"Greetings fellow pokemon trainers and assorted troublemakers! It is I, Gaige the Legendary Mechromancer!!! But don't feel bad if you haven't heard of me. I guess we're in a different universe or something." She beams with delight because aside from how cool the world itself is, the scientific possibilities for alternate universes is staggering as any good geek knows.
"And by that I mean a TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME UNIVERSE! Do you realize I've been playing games like this since I was just a kid?!" Ignoring the fact that she is basically still a child. A teenager yes but a childish one.
"Monster hunting? Monster Battles? Retro music? HELL YEAH! This is gonna be ah-maze-ing~"
"So a little bit about me for you! I'm a Mechromancer which...well normally that means I can summon this big badass robot I created named Deathtrap. I used to summon him with my robot arm which I designed myself except..."
Her face falls here with a sigh raising up a perfectly normal not robotic arm. Flesh and blood and not a bit of robot summoning ability. Lame.
"So yeah...that blows. DT would have loved this place too. He'd be the ultimate Pokemon! But OK, fine as long as I get him back when I go home."
Just like that she perks up again speaking excitedly into the camera.
"So my interests are Robots, Science, hard rock and overthrowing corrupt soulless corporations! SMASH THE SYSTEM!!!" This last part is of course accompanied by Gaige throwing her hand up with pointer and pinkie extended in the universal symbol of "The horns"
"So hit me up if you wanna throw down! Bring it on world! Because if you don't? I'll be bringing it to you!"
"Gaige OUT! "
Cutting the signal she beamed to herself and waited for the replies to come rolling in. In the meantime she finally opted to pop open her pokeball and see just what kind of creature she was going to be dealing with.
Of course it probably would have been a better idea to do that BEFORE calling out every trainer in the world for a fight...but oh well. What was done was done.
