#Lawrence Bloodwing

[purelightblog-sia]

Sia, what do you think about most of the apprentices in terms of character, backstory and design? Can you give details about each one?

Alrighty! There’s gonna be a massive para about them :)

Adoranz - I love his design and white patch on his leg! It kinda stands out… but I wonder if he got it from a specific or non-specific reason :/ 

Argil - He’s soo dorky and cocky but adorable and funny at the same time!

Dima - I feel bad for that guy, hopefully he’ll open up to someone.

Drace - I love EVERYTHING about him! He’s so badass looking it’s just too fab, I love how he’s sooo protective of Seva as if she was always in danger…. *ships him with Seva*

Electroy - I love his electric looking design, his pranks are also hilarious!

Eteri - D'aw, that little owl draggy is too adorable! Small but feisty, amazing combination… that kinda describes me, small and feisty….. *__*

Florence - She is just so beautiful! I love her personality and her little red necklace, I wonder who got it for her.

Frederick - He’s too loud but his design is outstanding for a sound dragon!

Gaara - I love his colours, so sand like! I like the fact that he was named after Gaara from Naruto :3

Grail - That cocky lava dragon has an amazing design, especially his lava horns and the amount of banter he has with Tun is just hilarious!

Korya - He’s sooo CUTE! I would love to give him a hug and play with him. He has a very pretty design, so earth like.

Kosatka - She’s too ADORABLE :) I love how she rides on a bubble and she’s too happy to know about the dangers of the world… her design is also fitting!

Lawrence - This blood-bending badass has a very amazing design, however his personality is welll creepy……

Morden - I love my hypnotic bab :3 He is very silent and mysterious… maybe his personality was influenced by some of my favourite anime charas… guess which one.

Nebel - I feel so sorry for her :( she has been bullied by Dorky but thank god he doesn’t do that now… I wonder what her eye colour is. I love her hair.

Odinson - I’m sorry but I just have to do this:  https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mBw3qzf4s18/hqdefault.jpg    just fits him well   XD (sorry not sorry)

Oria- I really love her design, no wonder why everyone recognises her! I lover her pet too!

Pyreus (DORKUS) - I love his design and his fire colour! However he is too cocky and stuck up. So yeah, I hate him…

Rykos - I feel so bad for him, he wanted to impress Xavier but he died :(  poor guy.

Sana - I absolutely love her design, it’s so blue and fire-like! I also like how she is calm for a fire dragon.

Semias - I feel so bad for him too, he had to deal with Xavier for the majority of his life… good thing he killed him :)

Seva - I absolutely love her design and personality! She wants to help everyone, even those in the 3rd Class…

Tundrine - I love her icy personality, and design :) ……… *ships her with Grail*

AAAAAAaand that’s all folks. I would’ve done the water and metal apprentice but there’s not much about them :/

[darkanioid997purelightblog]

Oria Cyantrogen, what do you think of all the apprentices? Any details you can give?

(There are two questions about Oria’s opinions toward the apprentices, so the answer to both will be here.)

Oria: “Well… I’ll start with Florence. She’s a really good friend of mine, and it’s nice to talk with her. Sometimes we play together with Oraay. She likes him a lot. There is also Tundrine. We tends to talk a lot about training and other thongs. It’s always nice to see more apprentices who takes the position seriously. Seva also seems nice and caring. I might try and talk to her again, even with her bodyguard, Drace, who always makes me feel uncomfortable. I can’t blame him though, he’s just doing his job. Morden is very unique by his appearence, which I really like. Too bad that he’s very lonely, most of them sees him as scary and dangerous, They need to give him a chance. Now Semias is-… I feel really bad for him. He soul seems… tortured. The incident with his father was horrifying, it caught me and my master in the middle of training. I tried to talk to him… but he was too scared. And Rykos… I talked with him once, he was a lovely apprentice. He had a tragic accident in one of his training sessions. He and Semias… both were apprentices of- No, I won’t go into this subject now. Korya is pretty cute, he tends to join me and Florence when we’re listening to some of Galios’s stories. The dynamic between him and his father actually makes me laugh sometimes. Kosatka is also really cute, I remember one time when she talked to me and showed me some tricks. It was really nice. I also like Adoranz Earthwing, even though we dont really talk so much. I’m glad to see some male young adults who takes themselves seriously, unlike Pyreus who always treat other rudely, He tends to bother me and the other females, which is very disrespectful! Lawrence actually doesn’t look so creepy to me, but his personality is not my preference. Sana is also a nice person to talk to. Odinson is… too cocky, at least for me. Some females seems to like it, but I don’t. Argil is also quite arrogant, he tends to bother me and the other apprentices and guardians. Sometime I caught him looking at me in the training room, when I didn't wear my cape. Grail was like Pyreus to me until he started to behave nicer. I really appreciate his desire to change. I didn’t talk so much with Dima, Nebel, Aquarella and Gaara, but they seems nice. Electroy is in the middle for me. He has a kind nature, but his pranks and lack of respect in training bothers me sometimes, especially when I’m the target. Eteri is worst then Electroy, she doesn’t takes herself seriously and the pranks she does with Frederik are far more annoying. Frederik… is the worst! I usually manage to keep my composure, but sometimes it’s really hard with their pranks. There was one time when Frederik deafened Oraay for a week, just for fun! I almost lost it on him on that day. Those two really should consider about their behavior like Grail did. Those were all of them, I hope that’s enough for you. Have a nice day.”

Jack was always awful

so there’s this general (and frankly bizarre given there’s plenty of easy access to the context) consensus in the fandom that Jack was actually a decent guy until the Pre-Sequel (and that everything is Lilith and Moxxi’s fault blah blah blah, yeah yeah, we get it you’re very transparent)

but here’s the thing like, the series itself doesn’t agree with you, so let’s put things in chronological order:

Before Borderlands 1

- murdered his first wife (oh sure he claims Angel did it, unable to control her powers, but he’s also a self-serving liar and canonically gaslights her, “he’ll try to guilt you, to make you think it’s your fault”, so calling bullshit on that), and oh how convenient that now he gets to exploit Angel’s abilities for his own ends afterwards

- Jack forces a very young Angel into a ‘chair’ and forces her to use her abilities for his own gain in climbing the corporate ladder by having her pretend to be an AI, using the death of her mother as an excuse - she is in there for the rest of her life until her Vault Hunter assisted suicide and she is under his near constant control (she’s not even allowed to swear)

- murdered his second wife (oh yeah he claims she ‘bolted’ in TFTBL but the first time we heard about her, in the mission “Get to Know Jack” in BL2, it’s stated that she disappeared after finding out about Angel, and Jack strangles the guy who brought her up)

Borderlands 1

- made Angel manipulate the BL1 Vault Hunters so they’d open the Vault and unleash the Destroyer (and release Eridium, which he was planning for); when she questions him he yells at her to shut up - to put that in full context, he used Angel to trick the Vault Hunters into releasing an alien superweapon that would’ve killed everyone on the planet if they hadn’t killed it

Before Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

- used the eye of the Destroyer to construct the Eye of Helios, a wave motion gun, with the intent on using it to commit genocide on Pandora (yeah just an FYI - building a giant laser powerful enough to nearly blow up the moon to target ‘bandit camps’ when Jack defines a bandit as anyone he doesn’t like - doesn’t make him look like a good person)

- briefly dated Moxxi, she dumped him when she realised what a sociopathic monster he was beneath his ‘nice guy hero’ facade (he also blew up her Underdome for this, though whether that was before or after the Pre-Sequel is left unclear)

- started hiring for body doubles, like Timothy Lawrence, who had their bodies reconstructed to be identical to his and bombs implanted in their faces to prevent tampering with the permanent alterations, and forcing said doubles to sign NDAs preventing them from even saying their own names

- begins mining Pandora for Eridium (and refining it - the Slag runoff from the refinement is used to charge the Eye of Helios), which reduces part of the landscape into a craggy wasteland spewing lava, volcanic ash constantly raining down (the Slag runoff of Eridium refinement is also just dumped all over the place, polluting the planet further)

this was all before Jack made his first chronological appearance

Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

okay here we go, Jack makes his chronological debut here

- loses his temper and murders the Meriff after the latter tries shooting him in the back and misses, yells “I was gonna let you live you dumb bastard, what is wrong with you?!” before commenting that it felt invigorating

- gonna just make a whole sub-thing for Felicity:

when Felicity starts having doubts during the ‘build a robot army’ plan, Jack dismisses her like he’s not even listening because he’s more focused on getting what he want, he then proceeds to casually threaten Gladstone Katoa (”By the way, last guy who double-crossed me's got nothing but a bunch of bullet holes and a stupid look on his face. Get me?”)

later when Felicity suggests just copying her because she’d find it much less terrifying than being uploaded to the Constructor, Jack asks her to clarify how much less terrifying - “It's the difference between brain surgery and being scanned.” - Jack just says he’ll ‘think about it’

Felicity complains that she doesn’t enjoy killing, he just waves that off by saying he doesn’t enjoy it either

he then orders Felicity’s mind wiped because copying her would take too long, offers a half-hearted apology when he says Elpis can’t wait, and then tells Gladstone to “Keep the military stuff, anything that can help us in a fight. Trash the rest.” Afterwards he doesn’t even care that he’s just had Felicity killed because he got his cool robot army

- ejects Gladstone and a couple other innocent scientists into space because one of the scientists still working in R&D might’ve been a traitor, so he killed all of them just to be sure (well he had his Vault Hunters do it but same diff) - what a hero. he then immediately tries to turn it around like he did everyone a favour - “Y'know, if I hadn't airlocked those scientists, one of 'em mighta turned those defenses back on just as you were walking through. Woulda fried you like a skag steak. Think on that.”

- this is the point in the story in TVHM where Athena admits she’d been suspecting she’d been working for the bad guy for a while

- kills Zarpedon because he gets bored of listening to her when she’s trying to explain what’s in the Vault on Elpis

- Moxxi tricks Jack and his Vault Hunters into blowing up the Eye of Helios, telling Jack she should’ve done it a long time ago because he’s a “power-hungry psychopath” - “I've been watching you, Jack. And behind that smile, behind that hero complex, there's something wrong about you. If you come down from Helios alive, a lot of decent people will live to regret it.” Jack screams that she, Lilith and Roland are no better than bandits because they destroyed an alien superweapon that he wanted to use (so i really don’t get why anyone was sympathising with him on this)

- Jack grows increasingly savage and unstable following this as the metaphorical mask starts slipping; ranting about how he’s going to ‘deal with them all’, threatens his boss just for asking for an update, then talking about how he wanted to use whatever’s in the Vault to kill Roland, Lilith, Moxxi and “all those sons of bitches”. he then loudly threatens Tassiter’s life after he calls to say he’s fired again (and like, okay, Tassiter’s an asshole, but he’s ‘dickhead boss’ asshole, he’s not ‘strangle you for talking shit, being in the same room or just for breathing’ asshole, which Jack is). it all comes to a head after he gets the treasure in the Vault and it shows him the Warrior and how to get to it (use Eridium to charge the Vault Key using a Siren as a catalyst), before Lilith punches the relic into his face, scarring him and destroying whatever restraint he had left - he plans to scorch Pandora in fire

- Jack makes good on his threat to Tassiter, strangling him to death and taking over Hyperion

- Claptastic Voyage - Jack sends his Vault Hunters after the H-source code that was buried in Claptrap’s virtual mind by Tassiter. full of access codes, prototype schematics and all sorts of Hyperion secrets. he uses it to destroy Claptrap’s product line and to add insult to injury, kills our Claptrap - who’d been retrofitted into a Vault Hunter. only reason he survived was the Shadowtrap (the true AI behind Vaulthunter.exe that Claptrap’s base AI overrides) keeping him functioning, his own incredibly robust chassis (as a result of being INAC and the Fragtrap) and Hammerlock finding him

Before Borderlands 2

in no particular order

- kidnapped Tannis and tortured her for days to make her give up the Vault Key

- started injecting the Eridium he’d refined into Angel to increase her power in order to charge the Vault Key faster - this also left her so reliant on Eridium that cutting off her supply would kill her in less than a minute

- started forcing his scientists to experiment on the population of Pandora (’bandits’), often by threatening and blackmailing them, like he did Dr Samuels by holding her wife hostage. this experimentation resulted in Psychos like Krieg, as well as other mutants

- the aforementioned experimentation also makes up Tiny Tina’s backstory - her family was taken there and while she escaped, her parents are dead or worse

- he destroyed New Haven, a central location from the first game, trying to flush Lilith out. Helena Pierce was forced to relocate her people to Sanctuary - she didn’t make it, and Jack made fun of her face scarring for good measure, and a number of New Haven citizens in the process

and a lot of others that i can’t remember the specifics on

Borderlands 2

oh jesus christ

- literally blows up a train to try and kill the Vault Hunters at the beginning of the game

you know what there’s just too much in BL2, i’ll just stick to the main ones

- captures Mordecai’s beloved companion Bloodwing, mutates the crap out of her and then blows her head off - later puts her decapitated corpse on display in his city Opportunity

- forces Angel to manipulate the new Vault Hunters into taking down Sanctuary’s shield so he can blow it up

- when Angel gets sick of him and communicates with the Vault Hunters against his orders to try and help them stop him, he starts torturing her

- kills Roland, steps over Angel’s body to gloat and then caps that off by capturing Lilith, hooking her up to Angel’s Eridium injectors and starts stabbing her because the Eridium makes her heal quicker

- summons the Warrior intent to kill everyone on Pandora so he can ‘civilise’ it

Tales from the Borderlands

- first thing he does is threaten to kill people

- second thing he does is to try and strangle Rhys

- everything following that is trying to manipulate Rhys into doing what he wants; he only cares about Rhys so far as he cares about his own continued existence (i mean he outright tries to kill Rhys as soon as he’s not in his cybernetics anymore)

- he actually becomes even more of a textbook abuser here, because he’s constantly trying to isolate Rhys from the others

- if Rhys trusts him, he’ll goad Athena into attacking Cassius, which he’s very excited about - and makes sense when you consider how she reacted to him killing Gladstone and those scientists on the possibility that one might be a traitor. he wants her to attack someone who had nothing to do with the order to kill her sister to make a hypocrite out of her

- nearly everything he says is a lie to manipulate Rhys; he never means a word of it and it’s always serving his own interests

- right up to the end he never accepts responsibility for his own heinous actions and is constantly pawning off blame and fault to others

and that’s not even nearly all of it. tl;dr, just cos a guy says he’s a hero, doesn’t mean he is one. actually, if someone has to point out what a great person they are all the time? that just means they’re full of shit

Top 5 Borderlands characters?

1. nisha kadam - you don’t know much about her in 2 and i’m so glad they expanded on her in the pre-sequel. playing as her is REALLY entertaining, i like her design and i like her personality a lot. she’s just fun! 

2. sir hammerlock - i love all of his side quests, he always has good banter and is a huge staple of the series for me. also he’s canonically gay and his DLC is good.

3. angel - i’m frustrated to this day about how her story ended. i would’ve loved for her to be a part of the group nearing the finale of the game and i think she would’ve fit in very well and had a good life. i related to her a lot when i first played.

4. timothy lawrence - i almost ALWAYS end up playing him when i play TPS... he is SO OUTRAGEOUSLY FUN to play as and if specced right is literally unstoppable. i love everything about him, and i love seeing how his character actually develops near the end and continued in the claptrap DLC. he’s a huge treat and makes playing TPS a riot whenever someone’s playing him. 

5. mordecai (& bloodwing) - he was the character i played when i did B1. sniping in the borderlands series is, for some reason, WAY more satisfying than sniping in any other game, and also i relate to how much he loves his damn bird. as someone who is super attached to their animal companion, i get it.
