Heya! I’m Taco/Alice. I’m an old butt who has been roleplaying for well over a decade.

I’m hunting for some Borderlands goodness, as the title states. I’m pretty enamored with the universe. Comedy, drama, shooting bandits in the face, wub wub, and gazillions of guns—what more could a girl want?

I’ve played the main campaign for 1, main campaign and all DLC for 2, and the demos for Tales From the Borderlands and the Pre-Sequel. I’ve never RPed in the universe before, but I’m experienced enough where that shouldn’t be an issue.

I’m looking to play and develop Maya. I’m happy to write her with any canon characters from the series, but I’m especially looking for fellow Vault Hunters. I ship Maya/Axton and Maya/Krieg, but shipping is hardly necessary.

Content wise; Pandora’s a shitty place, and lots of brains are going to be splattered all over the goddamn place. The violence is going to be over the top ridiculous, but that's half the charm. I’m not opposed to mature romance, but it’s not required. I’m happy to write at your comfort level!

I’d love to write through the main campaign, with some slice of life goodness in Sanctuary along the way. I’m also down with post-game goodness!

My ideal partner writes around 3-6 paragraphs a post, depending on what the game needs, with less for combat and dialogue heavy scenes and more for exposition. I’m a friendly Taco and I like to be buddies with my partner, so be prepared for me to talk your ear off about geology out of game.

I need someone who can be patient with me. I love to RP, but I’m a full time student who commutes 5+ hours a day during school and I’m married with puppies. There are going to be times where I won’t be around for a few weeks at a time, especially during finals. I’ll never ditch a game forever when it starts, but I have had to take month long hiatuses before.

Are you still open? Because I'm definitely interested lol. I've been craving a Borderlands RP for a while. :)

I don't tend to write just for romance, though I don't mind it as a side to the main plot. I'm glad you've listed that as something unnecessary because.. it seems that every RP in the 1x1 section is looking for romance lol. Zer0's my favorite, but I wouldn't mind playing Kreig considering I (mildly) ship Krieg x Maya as well :P haha. I don't mind using OCs/other canon characters if you're looking to play more than one character!

I'm curious about your expected posting frequency though? I'm a fulltime student myself with a job as well, though my classes don't start until October 2. I can manage a post a day (as I currently am doing for my other RP), though I especially don't mind something a little more lax. ^^ I'm willing to go whatever your pace is as long as it's not something ridonkulous like multiple times a day - which you seem too sensible for considering that hahaha. I don't mind taking weeks off if necessary as you've said, since I'll need breaks myself when it comes to essays/exams time.

I just need more long-lasting RPs and not ones that'd drop within a couple of weeks. :)

I've subscribed to this lol, but feel free to PM me as well!

Huzzah!

I totally agree. I don't mind it if it happens, but I don't see romance as the main event.

Ahhhh, Zer0! Aahh, Krieg! You're already the best.
I don't mind writing multiple characters, especially since just about every character is magically amazing. *_* I've actually written Gaige before, in Echonet form, to amuse a buddy of mine on deployment. I like densely populated games, so I usually have at least a dozen side characters floating about my posts.

Posting frequency; I'm managing every other day to every 4 days on average right now. I'm totally behind at the moment and I have about 6 posts I owe people since I was swamped for the past few days. I usually aim for once a week per game. But yes, I do stick around!

Echonet Gaige is hilarious, hah! I enjoy writing multiple characters as well since it keeps off the monotony of having to deal with the same, single personality for an extended period of time. So long as a cast is manageable, that's about as far as my limit goes on that hahaha!

Re: frequency, thanks for answering. :) Whatever's most convenient for you, I'm sure it'll fit right into my schedule too. I'll pretty much post whenever I'm free to and not pressured with anything, but I won't rush you by any means. ^^ I'm not looking for anything set in stone re: posting frequency, but it's generally the first thing I ask about whenever I join a new RP so I know what to expect. (Some people are like, "Oh yeah we post like four times a day! Get on our level!" and others don't even monitor it, meaning some folks post like once a month when everyone else posts every other day...? e.e)

Getting swamped sucks, hopefully things are lightening up on your end!

Just let me know what you're up to plot-wise so far and I can help pitch in some random ideas and whatnot as well to help solidify the whole thing before we get started (again, whenever is convenient for you). If you'd like me to help with baddies/major villains, I don't mind taking control of them either. ^^

I'm pretty easy to reach since I check my subscriptions and PMs haphazardly throughout the day on my phone. I've got skype as well, though I'm not extremely active on it, but if it's easier to chat/contact you there, I don't mind exchanging info for that. :)

Btw, what's your time zone? I'm PST, so it's currently 5:29pm for me right now.

Gaige is adorable *_*
Oh, yay! I think we’re going to get on spectacularly. :D

It’s a totally good thing to check! Things will actually get busier next week; I go back to uni on Wednesday (sob sob sob) but I’ve got mad time management skills, so it should all work out. :] Or it won’t… we’ll see hahahaa oh god I’m so dreading this quarter.

Plot wise, I’m fine with either writing main campaign or post game goodness.

I check this site on my phone a lot, so no worries there. I’m usually around.

Awwww yisss, I'm PST as well. Magical.

No worries! I hope things work out okay with you re: your schedule. ^^ I'm taking it easy this coming quarter class-wise, but in exchange I'm taking a boxing class and a speed-reading class so I can read faster. (I'm undoubtedly the slowest reader on this entire website lol) I'll see how things go though, easy classes should make the extra curricular activities not too... er, what's the word. Much of a pressure or burden hahaha.

Cool cool, I'm good with main campaign or post-game as well. Seeing as I've beaten BL2 eight times by this point, I think I have a pretty good grasp of how to help things progress LOL. Not sure how true to the script you wanna be with regards to controlling the other characters and actual progression? Unless we just do our version of the campaign and keep things the same except for dialogue...? Although, post-game would be interesting too... starting off a brand new hunt after one of the other vaults. Although I think that idea also works with either OCs or a mix of canon and OCs - but if that sounds like it works to you with pure canon characters, I'm down for that. :) It might be funner to write to a brand new plot if we can get something going.

I had an idea before Hammerlock's DLC released (orz) about a hyper Jack fangirl who called herself Sexy Sophia or something, though she focused more on having mutated monsters instead of robots to fight for her. Could always have some enemy or enemies like that go after a new vault, and that could attract the attention of the BL2 hunters too. Something fun and zany like that hahaha. I'm just churning up random ideas, I'm good with anything really :)

Sorry for the wordy paragraphs, I don't normally ramble on this much >< lol

It should hopefully be okay! I’m dropping a course, I think, and that should help me not go batshit insane. I’m super looking forward to geo physics though. I’ve been yearning for this class for a whole year, haha!

Haha, niiiiice! I think I’m at 5 total playthroughs? I’ve only hit the level cap on my Siren, because I am terribad. ):

I’m more looking for following the spirit of the campaign in general, but I’m plenty willing to reference in game dialogue, because it’s way better than anything I could write. Eye dee kay, I just have this compulsive need to flesh things out more. –grabby hands-

Ooooh… that’s totes magical. We should work it in. >:D Sidequests 5ever.

Awww, Melly, you’re too kind! <3 -smothers with love-

One level cap is better than none! I have three Zer0s (all melee based lol) but my highest leve is at like 63. I'm still waiting for my friend to get back to me on our UVHM run. :I

Now for the question of all questions: PS3, PC, or Xbox? XD

Geo physics sounds awesome! :0 I'm terrible at math and science though, so I'd probably knock out within a week there hahaha. I'm more of a polisci/linguistics person :p

I agree; as much as I love the BL verse, I feel like BL2's hunters don't have nearly as much specific interactions between them as they deserved. The cute one-liners from DLCs and promotional cutscenes are lovely, but dammit I need more! Hahaha

Btw, do you have a specific name you wanna go by, or is Taco okay? Everyone I know calls me Rex for short hahaha

Haha, I have yet to witness the beauty of a high level Zer0! My bestie has a level 29 one that I play with my Mechromancer, but we've been enjoying our Gunzerker and Commando playthrough too much to go back. *_* Those fuckin' dorks.

Haha! PS3, I'm afraid. I'd totally rather play PC, but oh well!

I'm excited! *_* I'm really enamored by tectonics and such. I took Geomechanics last year and swoon!
Linguistics is awesome O: I don't have the head for it, but golly, it's so magically meta. *_*

UGH YES. I was all giddy during the Headhunter packs because lkskjkdsljkdfjlds YES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. I'm super looking forward to the Pre-Sequel and Tales for the character development above all else. Like, YES FINALLY. Also, I reaaallly want to see what those dorks are up to in Tales From the Borderlands...


I usually go by Taco! :D I am not as delicious as my namesake though.

HAHAHA I am a Ps3 player as well! :D What luck. We must be destined to RP this together. LOL.

MMmmMmm yesss. *claws at new BL games* I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking forward to more, playing as Wilhelm or seeing more of my bby Zer0. Both sound so wonderful, eee. It's weird because you know all the BL hype comes from the gameplay, but I fell for the series not only for that but also for the execution of the story writing in 2. I'm a sucker for beautiful campaigns in shooter games, both fps and 3ps. Wish I got a chance to play the demo for Tales, ahhh

I'm actually grateful the writer changed between 1 and 2, because honestly I wasn't a fan of 1 at all in that regard. :S Plus I'm still mad Steele barely had a role. Hopefully both the presequel and Tales surpass my low expectations and then some - I've learned my lesson about getting hyped over games lol .____.

Ugh, sorry for disappearing! I've been quite ill this past week. Hopefully you're still interested *_*

Yessssss, they are so magical. PAX was such a treat *_* ALSO YES; I was hilariously bad at shooters, but the story in 2 was so compelling that I just grit my teeth and dealt with it. And now I am sort of competent, yaaaaayyyyy :D :D :D It was cool realising, 'oh snap, I'm actually helping out now, yaaaaayyy!' and not making my hubs do all the work. c:

1 was kind of lackluster for me, since I started with 2. And yes, Steele, my bby ;_;
From the demos, I can confidently say that I think both Tales and the Pre-sequel will be amazeballs. *_*
