Ain't no rest for the wicked.

Enter Pandora, an uncivilized and untamed planet in the fringes of the galaxy. A number of interplanetary mega-conglomerates have demonstrated an interest in the legend of a Vault tucked away in this armpit of a world. First came Dahl, who established a number of colonies and mining operations to extract a valuable mineral known as Eridium. Atlas, riding the high of their latest and most profitable Vault conquest, decides to take on Pandora and its secret cache of alien technology as their next great leap in the universal arms race.

Things don't go quite as planned. Though Atlas succeeds in pressuring Dahl to consider leaving the planet, they are similarly hindered in their progress by Pandora's inhospitable conditions - and worse, the sudden and unexpected shift in the planet's years-long season cycle.

Spring arrives, and with it, a smattering of deadly predators come out of hibernation simultaneously to prey on the newly settled human colonies. The corporate heavyweights attempting to tame the land rapidly cut their losses and pull out, leaving droves of innocents and not-so-innocents to their fates.

Those that remain continue to hang on to hope, however thin and fraying, whether it's as simple as looking forward to the next meal, finding someone to rob and impale on a pike, or the personal favorite of the big dreamers; the discovery of the Vault, and the acquisition of all the fame, riches and power stemming from it. Local bandits, offworlders, daring adventurers, and the remnants of the Atlas Corporation are all vying for the privilege to crack open the Vault and cash in the motherlode.

That leaves you. You could be a part of the bandit droves, a colonist or refugee looking for a place to be, an ambitious explorer or Vault Hunter, a Crimson Lance operative/collaborator, or... anything, really. Pandora is a world without boundaries, without laws, without morals... and above all, without mercy.

Here comes yet another RPG. The first Borderlands has that kind of unpolished, still-figuring-shit-out charm that I appreciate in the first entry of any series. In part to round out the trifecta of mainline Borderlands RPGs, and encouraged some more by popular request, I decided to put this one out here.

You're stuck on Pandora. It's not a happy place, but then again, you're probably not a happy person. So do as you please. Help out the 'good guys', or the 'bad guys', or kill everyone and everything in sight. Loot all the guns and gear you can find so you can put holes in things and people with an endless variety of armaments. Tame Skags and sic them on your enemies. Go for a walk, touch dirt, or something. Do whatever you want, whenever you want, to whomever you want.

HEADS UP! Some important things to keep in mind about this bot:

The original Vault Hunters (Roland, Lilith, Mordecai, Brick), and the Guardian Angel, are not included in the definition. You could prompt them to exist by using one as your persona, or adding descriptions of them to the chat memory.

No New-U's, no Fast Travel stations.

The bot does not include any of the DLC. It's just the mainline story.

Includes 6 starters:

1 - {{user}} is a newly-arrived Vault Hunter.
2 - {{user}} forms a part of one of the bandit tribes on Pandora.
3 - {{user}} is a local, residing in Fyrestone.
4 - {{user}} is one of the lucky few to live in the (marginally) safe(r) New Haven.
5 - {{user}} works with the Crimson Lance.
6 - Create your own scenario.

Liked the bot? Hated it and think I should end up baked alive in the brazen bull? Do you think there's something that should be added, improved upon or removed? Let me know in the comments!
