#typhon deleon

Sure it doesn't have it in EVERY game but it's common enough for it to be a pattern.

You got the obvious one of Jack imprisoning Angel because she can't control her powers, with him believing it's the right thing to do while it very obviously isn't (especially once he started y'know using her as a battery), leading to her betraying him and sacrificing herself to help stop him.

Then you got the Calypso twins being kept on an isolated planet by Typhon DeLeon, because he believed it was the only way to keep them safe despite them feeling like they were being imprisoned, leading them to go full cult leader and go try to take what they believed was "rightfully theirs", which ultimately lead to their deaths.

And then you have Felix betraying Fiona and Sasha, stealing the ten million dollars from them, believing that it would get Hyperion and Vallory to lose interest in the girls and go after him instead, which ultimately lead to them being chased across Pandora by bounty hunters and putting them in life threatening danger.

Also all three of them die (Felix's death being dependent on the players choice), with their deaths at the very least being indirectly caused by their daughter, as an act of revenge for their mistreatment. Angel helping the Crimson Raiders leading to Jack's death, Tyreen killing Typhon with her powers, and Fiona being able to shoot Felix and let him explode along with the money.

Now for the part of this Ask where I actually ask something; May I know more of your Siren lore? I don't have a specific set of questions, just anything and everything you want to share.

Thank you for your time and the Grand Feast of Fics on AO3 :)

OMG HI

XD

I've been watching you kudo your way through Grimeverse. I'm so happy you're enjoying it! My goodness. Did I mention I love stream-of-consciousness comments? I love them. I also loved writing Leda, and I'm a little sad that's a finite thing in Borderlands fic.

The way Typhon's written is loosely based off of my maternal grandfather (bad grandpa); the scene in Satellite with Troy asks him if he loves him actually happened to my mother. She approved including it because she loved Troy to bits, possibly a little bit because he had a dad like hers.

Now for the bad news. I can't share a lot more of the Siren lore than I've posted because parts of Grimeverse are a collaboration with someone else and I don't want to spoil them :X. IRL has delayed this a smidge, but we have plans. Terrible plans. Plans involving megafauna and chaos. And porn, but I guess that goes without saying.

However! I can defo show you the kennings for some of the other canon Sirens.

Phasecommand Efflorescence; Proof of Life

Phasewalk The Harp Eternal, Seeking-Beyond

Phaselock Broken Symmetry, The Void, The Abyss; any number of very technical quantum mechanical terms which made initial translations very difficult

Phaseshift Crystal-Fall, Matters of Logic

Phasetrance Knowledge of Self, Ever-Wondering

Sirens in general Wasteland, One Who's Crossed Over, Unknown Space, a character used similarly to X in human math problems, otherwise known as a Siren pointer mark

I want to give one to Vex from 4 too, even though she probably won't be appearing in Grimeverse. But like, how do I top "Phase Covenant"?
