Not many rules about character creation. Be creative with race or kind of character! If you wanted to make a CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot, go for it! A talking bullymong? Sure! A loader? I mean, if you want! They can be a villain or a hero or even just your average joe.
Please do not make a canon character without admin permission. This is to avoid duplicates. There will be a thread listing all of the taken canon characters. PM an admin or post in that thread if you are interested in claiming one. They will approve or deny the request through pm or post. Hold off on playable Vault Hunters for now.
The biographies can be structured however you like it. Remember, you do not need to follow Borderlands canon completely! You can even have your own small head canons for your canon characters. Just don't go too far with it.
Canon character's aren't required to have a bio but if you want to write one, go right ahead!
Your avatar image (the one that appears on the left under your name) should you choose to use one, should be a picture of something related to your OC. This is to also avoid some confusions. For example, Gaige's avatar is a picture of Gaige.
We want to encourage as much creativity as possible. Therefore, we will not be checking characters before they are allowed the post. Maybe some people aren't as strong when it comes to making a character bio. It's unfair to not allow them to participate because of that.
Pre-established relationships are for you all to decide between yourselves. Both parties need to be aware and be okay with them knowing each other. If a canon character is unclaimed, try to stay away from making a relationship with them unless it's confirmed in the game. (for example Roland and Lilith definitely know each other). Remember though, you could build relationships when both characters are controlled by people.
