Below is a completed example of a submission, of one of the first two goobers to appear on the banner. They are feeling lonely here, so give them some company!

Name: Tom “Tommy” Lawrence

Gender: Male

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: Aro/Ace

Allegiances: Atlas

MBTI: intj 1w2

Occupation: Crimson Lance corporal, Pilot in training

Residence: Promethea, Meridian

Time period: Somewhere in the future after events of BL3

Summary:

The youngest son of the CEO and the General, the Little Prince of Promethea, all of this legacy and responsibility is crushing for him. Tommy fears he will forever live in his fathers' shadows, unable to keep up. He is an overachiever, and tries to be like them both, constantly overworking himself and falling into hysteria of not being able to meet his own expectations, ignoring achievements he already made. Often wondering if he was even worth the money spent on his creation, worried about becoming a wasted investment.

I don't know if ive posted my guy red here yet, so here he is. Hes my borderlands oc, born and bred on Pandora.

I created this mostly for memes but I quite liked it haha

Name: Nita-Hushaya

Gender: Two spirit

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Pragmatic, cold, a bit irritable 

Residence: Pandora

Time period: post bl3 

Summary: Originally from Thrace, Nita-Hushaya’s life has been constantly uprooted. Hiim, Nita’s family, and community constantly moving to avoid getting caught in the crossfire by various corperations mining and military exploits. When Dahl began to push them out of their newest home Nita decided he would revolt against them, his revolt failed his community seperated and him and other people who revolted with him where arrested for disrupting Dahl’s mining operations. Nita was then sent to Pandora to carry out his sentence as one of Dahl’s prison laborer.  When Dahl abandoned the planet Nita decided he’d go off on his own instead of joining any of the bandit gangs or clans hoping to find anyone of his friends and family from his past. He was luck enough to find some people from his past his cousin Isi being one of them, Nita and Isi tried to find a place to call home but they both seemed to fall back into having thier lives uprooted once Hyperion started their colonial efforts to search for the vaults.  Nita having watched Atlas, Dahl, Hyperion, And then the COV causing so much destruction he couldn’t help but feel like vault hunting was just a foolish pursuit for an empty promise for treasure and power when all thats in them are monsters, and in that pursuit it ended with more misery and strif for people who where not involved and just trying to survive. To him the vaults either need to be destroyed or be left alone, Nita also believes that the corperations are colonial leeches and that they need to answer for all the pain they’ve caused all for corperate greed. Nita hopes to help people create self sufficant communites who can defend themselves if need be if anything like what the mega corperations have done before starts to happen again  Nita takes on the alias of Epimethius, wanting to be a sort of figure for people who feel like they’ve been after thoughts after getting caught up in both search for the vaults and corperate interests. 

Want to be featured on the banner: yes!

additional things: Nita-Hushaya is Choctaw, he speaks Chahta Anumpa and prefers speaking it.
