I'm new here, but i saw some character ideas and decided to make one of my own.--Aaxelae (talk) 03:33, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
Background[]
Deus used to be a local weapon manufacturer as part of his family's business, but he heard the call to go to Pandora and promise of bringing peace and riches was almost overwhelming. It took a while, but he learned how to use his guns. But he knew that wouldn't be enough. So he quit the shop and begun crafting something he knew he could trust in case of emergencies. The result was a vicious assault rifle named Thanatos. His family protested, but he left the next morning. He, along with four other vault hunters, took an aircraft transport. And on the way, they quickly became friends. They expected a warm welcome from Handsome Jack, but instead of that, they were blown out of the air and lead into a trap orchestrated by Handsome Jack. Only Deus and a hunter named Cyril survived the crashed and a scouting party came by to make sure the job was finished. Deus made a promise to help get Cyril out of this, but despite this, the guy was injured. Deus made it to the sanctuary with him, but Cyril's wounds were too far gone and he died. At that time, Deus believed himself to be responsible for the deaths of all four other hunters believing that he could have done more and so, he became a lone wolf refusing help from others in fear that he might get them killed. Shortly afterwards, Deus decided to continue hunting for the vault to stop Handsome Jack from acquiring it. One such search took him nearby the trainrails where he saw an explosion. He ran toward the crash site fearing that he would be caught up in yet another incident....
Alternate Ending[]
Deus never saw the explosion and remains hunting by himself until the events of borderlands 3.
Personality[]
Despite bleming himself for the deaths of his comrads, he still has a decent form of self-respect. And while Cyril seemed nice and all, he quickly got over his death and moved on. He is willing to help others and make friends, but systematically rejects other people's help. And finally, he might not act like it, but he cares decently about others. At least enough to try and help them out.
Appearance[]
He is wearing a dark blue V-neck shirt with a torn right sleeve and underneath, a white tee-shirt. He also has wavy hair and goggles resting on his forehead. Finally, he has faded grey pants and a belt full of various ammo and other junk. His class mod is a badge hanging on the belt.
