wip survey

Character Name(s): John is his real name, goes by Jack. I made his last name Clarke as a VA joke/bc he would have a last name, but. He’s just John/Jack.
Series: Borderlands
Wiki Link: Jack's wiki page is here, though it largely focuses on Jack in Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands, where he's quite different. As such, the page on the game for his canonpoint might also be helpful!

THE GOOD

How far would they go to accomplish their goals or fulfill their desires? Do they have lines they wouldn't cross?

WHEW… This question might as well be the thematic throughline for The Pre-Sequel!

What is something they treasure?
His daughter. Jack loves Angel so much that it’s very literally oppressive. Nothing else comes close.

What do they consider to be their best or most positive qualities?

What is this character's best memory?
The day Angel was born, first and foremost. Secondarily the day he got married and the time that they spent together as a family. He deeply treasured being a normal dad and wishes that he’d never had to leave that behind.

Is there anyone they have highly positive feelings towards?
His daughter, Angel, first and foremost. Otherwise, he has a crush on two of the Vault Hunters he hired, Nisha Kadam and, uh, his body double Timothy Lawrence. He has generally positive feelings for the other Vault Hunters he hired: Athena, Aurelia Hammerlock, and Wilhelm.

THE BAD

What could or would tempt your character to compromise their principles?

What do they desire above all else?

What are their biggest fear and/or insecurities?

What is this character's worst memory?
The day that Angel’s Siren powers killed her mother/his wife. The day her powers manifested. The day he had to (in his opinion) lock her away to protect herself and others. These can all be heard (they’re purely audio) in this video.

Is there anyone they have highly negative feelings towards?
The Merriff, Colonel Zarpedon, name Tassiter, and BANDITS… “Bandits” being a catchall term for the essentially feral ad insane population of Pandora. Also the entire CL4P-TP product line

THE ET CETERA

What kinds of gifts does your character like?
He’s a material girl in a material world, baby. He likes gifts that are expensive or status symbols, or on the complete opposite end, gifts with sentimental value.

What item(s) would your character be pleased to receive as a reward?
His wrist-mounted pistols in particular, but any (good) Borderlands gun, his picture of Angel, any of Angel’s artwork, his pocketwatch which grants him invisibility (a la the tier 2 spell), a computer/stuff for him to tinker on, a Bunkers & Badasses set, Hyperion branded merch, a Shield, Moxxi pinups,

What item(s) would your character never ask for, but you, the player, would want to give them?
Mostly jokes from later in canon, lmao… A CL4P-TP unit (specifically not the character), the horrible and tiny AI Jack prototype,

Oh, and his pony made of diamonds, Buttstallion

OOC, what are your goals with this character? What would you enjoy seeing them getting involved in or would enjoy as a potential character arc?
