#Lilith cashlin

[kitsumidori]

I've mentioned before about a borderlands modern au idea and I want to show what I have.

Lilith Cashlin

Leader of The Firehawks (a biker gang in the city of Sanctuary which mostly consists of her friends)

Still trying to move on after her boyfriend was murdered by the Hyperion president.

Works at the city museum along with her socially reclusive friend Tannis.

In place of Lilith's siren tattoos, she has a full arm and leg sleeve tattoo which consists of dragons, phoenix's, unicorns and other fantasy elements.

Took in Angel after her father was arrested.

Is pretty close with the city's local con artist.

Angel Coldwell

Daughter of Jack Coldwell, President of the Hyperion corporation.

Was homeschooled most of her life and because of that, she's a bit naive, socially awkward and has developed social anxiety.

Would have recurring nightmares about Jack coming back to get her.

It was revealed that not only was Jack connected to a series of murders (one of the victims being his own wife), but he was also conducting inhumane experiments on people who he'd bribe/threat/kidnapped.

While incarcerated, Jack pleaded to anyone that would listen that he would never hurt his daughter and was very protective of her, the bruises and bone fractures said otherwise.

Along with that, it was also revealed during the trial that Jack was about to do said experiments on Angel shortly before he was incarcerated.

Jack has since been sentenced to death row.

Harley and Tiffany Williams

Parents of child prodigy, Gaige Williams.

Harley is a retired engineer and part-time boxer who owns his own gym in Sanctuary.

Tiffany is the owner of the Sanctuary Science and History Museum and is an elementary teacher at the local school.

Gaige Williams

Child prodigy and honor student.

Doesn't have many friends due to them sending her as weird and nerdy.

Was the only one that offered friendship Angel since she's an outcast as well.

Lost her arm at a young age, but she now has this really cool robotic arm (with help from her dad) that can crush concrete so that fine.

yeah i'm watching the borderlands movie, liveblogging-style commentary below

spoiler-free tldr: dedication to aesthetics and easter eggs. a handful of funny lines. about half of them didn't land at all. the lack of blood is rather unforgivable. would've been a 6.5/10 if that exact script was for different brand-new characters. as it is, 3/10 due to the character assassination

no reason for tiny tina to not be blowing the shit out of random things what is this girl doing ??????????????? character assassination

roland kinda gives me bl1 vibes but i'm still not even vaguely sold on hart's casting

probably the only psycho to not be screaming about meat bicycles 0/10 also that jumpsuit just looks... cheap. love the mask though.

wym knox

is that supposed to be a skag?

MARCUS WOOOOOO honestly this guy nailed it good job. though the ponytail... i'm confused. did i just never notice marcus had long hair? (one google later: yeah i'm unobservant as shit)

i don't recall anywhere but the literal actual dump in bl1 looking anything like this. krom is an interesting namedrop though

oh fuck yeah i love seeing robot POV- oh shit they're canonising lilith's last name being cashlin?

oh shit i know that bunty board mission look!!!! nice tbh

this voiceover is. not working for me however.

okay i love everything about claptrap, this is the obnoxious twerp that i know and... tolerate. yeah, let's go with tolerate. "even completely unjustified ones like yours" HAH

yeah lilith i feel that violence/expression combo

i cannot at all understand how the echonot is... a bot-only thing? but then again there's no other reason to have him tag along

OH SHIT I KNOW THOSE CROSSHAIRS

ah those fucking rakk

bunny! i know that bunny! got a booty like POW

LMAO good going tina finally she bears some resemblance to canon

zero reason for lilith to not teleport here but i guess they're saving the siren reveal? for some reason?

"LIKEABITCH" "MY BIG BRUDDAAAA" i kinda like it tbh. she was never going to be tina in a pg-13 movie but this is near-ish enough that i'm not upset

where's krieg during all of this exactly? ah there we go

wilhelm scream!

cgi on teh creature is looking a little shaky

claptrap's dedication to annoyingly singing everything, yeah, it tracks

okay so characterisation is... y'all've heard everyone bitching since the first trailer, right? but tina and krieg BFFs are growing on me and i'd read the fanfic

i'm not over krieg having hair sorry i even googled to make sure he didn't in bl2

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE

could they not have worn normal masks instead of whatever these glowy cyberpunk things are?

"kriegy give me a ride!" oh they're cute

w. what is moxxi's accent? also why does lilith have mommy issues suddenly

temu tannis. honestly i think the casting for her isn't horrible, and the characterisation isn't as bad as some other characters, but it's still not what i'd expect

i'm not buying eridian clone. do we not remember what eridians look like.

this is supposed to be sanctuary???? geez they had so many other visual things nailed, i don't. get that. arguably one of the most iconic places in the series, idk how it's That

oh shit, caustic caverns?

yeah tina and krieg are everything to me

"hope blooms in the strangest places" coming from tina is the worst, it's a perfectly fine line but from TINA? would've been fine from lilith

i am not buying that knife-throwing action, would it have been so hard to find a stunt guy who knew how to do that already?

an ambush by dozens of enemies sure would be a nice time for some siren powers but tbf that is some pretty smooth gunwork

krieg dragging claptrap up the staircae and hitting every stair along the way LMAO

would it have killed them to have ANY lighting in that hallway

no way on earth did tina just snap a guy's neck

IT'S TIME TO BLEEEED HAHAHA yeah i'll give em that one, nice

at this point i'm wondering if lilith is human. with the characterisation in this movie it would not surprise me if tina was a siren instead. and siren tina could be cool! but c'mon. ah so tina teleported them. yep.

firehawk is what? i mean i don't mind it. but. canon, y'all. then again tina is phasewalking so

oh no way did roland survive that

that certainly is a scene that happened

was this one of the workers' villages that got abandoned when the corporations pulled out? bandits attacked and she got orphaned, sent offworld, and fell in with a violent crowd? that's actually a decent backstory tbh, it's just. not lilith's backstory.

i swear this hole place looks familiar i just can't place which map it's from

oh that miniboss-looking dude has a baller design

OH IT'S THE SYRINGE NOISE WOO

that was dumb as hell, killing knox like that

OH FINALLY SIREN POWERS and looks like rewriting the elevator bit yeah it was phasewalking after all

"you have my word" oh yeah that's valuable

"i have to open it" you could just. teleport them out. like you teleported in. could you not. or just kill atlas.

okay the vault arch building does look pretty neat

FIREHAWK WINGS YES

whatever cgi they're doing with floating lilith... i don't like that.

Do Not Hurt The Tina

Do Not Hurt The Krieg

okay the firehawk shield effects are pretty cool

NOBODY KILLS ME BUT ME YEAH

i will always support kids being able to beat up their abusive parents

ooh hentai

ELLIE AND SCOOTER ELLIE AND SCOOTER ELLIE AND SCOOTER ELLIE AND SCOOTER

i still don't get these shantytown vibes for sanctuary but i do love me some fireworks

glorious meat fiesta

"come onnn do the thing" i love when characters say that and the other character is all naaah but then gives in almost immediately cause they love the person asking

FIREHAWK IN THE SKY ALERT DEEPLY FUCKING COOL

Lilith Cashlin:The Firehawk

"Im going to enjoy this."

Au lilith cashlin is more cocky and arrogant at bl1,confident and smug about her powers and skills.

Had a relationship with roland until shenwas kicked from the resistance by peirce

Had a breif fling with moxxi.

As time pass,she showed a sadistic streak as she killed bandits

Was found by all five sirens in which maya amara and steele took her on,after thatbshe was taken in by the sisterhood

Lilith hates losing and is easily frustrated.

She uses edrium,craving it like a drink.

She fought steele before the vault opened and beat her.

In a relationship with maya.

mayalilith fic

tell me why my gods look like you (and tell me why it's wrong) ( maya the siren/lilith cashlin )

Since when were monks so toned? Maya wasn't a monk, but she was raised by them—didn't they sit around and preach bullshit all day? Call everyone "child" and bless them? Then, following this logic, why, for the love of Athenas, was she so god damn muscular? That was what Lilith wanted to know. Maybe she was being creepy, leaning in the doorway while the siren did push-ups. From here, she could see the hard muscle of the Athenian's arms in their entire glory while they worked. From here, she could see the contours of her shoulder blades and the tightening of the sinew under her skin. From here, she could simply observe without being observed in return.  Maya did not know she was incredibly attractive, and it was a shame. Lilith had tried telling her many times, in many different ways—likewise, most of the time she was met with a blank expression or an awkward response that was sometimes punctuated with crimson crawling up her neck. "Your hair is beautiful," Lilith had murmured once, reaching out and gathering blue in her hand. She let each individual strand wisp away by the will of gravity, threading her fingers through it until there was nothing left to grasp. Maya's lips had flickered upward into a faint, awkward fledgling of a smile, and she simply thanked her, seemingly at a loss of what to really say. Lilith went on to ask if she could braid it sometime. The sound of footsteps behind her made the commander tear her gaze away from Maya, only to settle her gaze on Axton. He regarded the scene smugly. "Looks like you're hard at work," he commented. Lilith shoved him.

Somewhere there’s an alternate universe where instead of TWDG in 2012 I got really into Borderlands and picked fights with people every single day about Lilith

[idekka]

A pic of a young Angel (from Tales) shows that she doesnt have her Siren tattoos

(Sorry for bad quality, I just tried to zoom in on a screenshot)

Does that mean she became one after the death of a previous one?

Also worth pointing out that Kid Lilith also didnt have the tattoos

But this is from the first game where they were probably still working on lore (In the Bunkers and Badasses DLC in Borderlands 2 she mentions being bullied for her tattoos as a child)

Anyway I'm just hyped for Borderlands 3 to see if we get any more info on Sirens (I really think they're neat!)

[extensusmusae]

generally, being a vault hunter was great! you got to kick ass and get cool shit out of it- sometimes you may not survive, but . . . oh. well. fuck. that little bit of information did seem to tie into what he was talking about, didn't it? that description was painfully familiar, but lilith could hold herself together, right?

seconds pass with only a sharp inhale. the firehawk hadn't emotionally lost her shit in front of people in ages.

"roland--" breath releases in a huff, fingers pinching the bridge of her nose. "okay. okay, no, it's- it's fine. it's just him, that's not nearly as bad as it could be. is-- how- how's he doing? aside from the whole not crossing over thing."

he's heard worse, he knows he has. but hearing the idea of being a vault hunter? new -- very foreign. he's not going to ask, though. he doesn't want to risk getting pulled into something new. "... there is someone following you, actually. beanie, goggles, and a scarf. looks like a military man."

[fictionkinfessions]

hey, if you’re jack and you think you’re in the right? fuck off. if you support jack and think you’re in the right? fuck off. id literally rather deal with the calypso twins than any of you. fuck. off. this isn’t a convo we should be having in 2021 for gods sake.

sincerely,

lilith cashlin, commander of the crimson raiders and siren who’s done w your shit lol

If an unused asset counts then Liliths name is Lilith Cashlin

At Borderlore, we strictly follow the lore found in the games and don’t count sources found outside of the games or unused content once said game has been released. However, we thank you for your contribution.

BL3 - Perspective pt.2

Part one: The “First” Vault Hunter

Back again with part 2 of my multi-part personal evaluation. Once again it will be under a readmore so those not interested don’t have to scroll far. This one is a bit of a dozy regarding Lilith.

Lilith and her struggle

This is one I genuinely feel upset with given we’ve known Lilith for a long time. She’s been established from day one as being very powerful and confident in herself and her abilities (albeit suffering from the sexism present in BL1). On top of that, she’s played a role in almost every single installment of the series in one way or another, really fleshing out her personality from her former player class to an NPC.  Borderlands 2 was where they introduced her as the mythical “Firehawk” an entity that struck fear into the hearts of bandits across Pandora, even unintentionally starting her own literal cult following. Yet, this wasn’t for sake of glory, Lilith is shown to be intelligent and strategic and though she wouldn’t know it yet, a leader in the making. This eventually shows up through the ending of the Pre-Sequel and further in with the Commander Lilith DLC for BL2.

It can be assumed that these were traits they wanted to keep from her original character profile in the first game, where she appeared to be split to the character we know and Tannis (See here: WARNING LOUD). Either way, Dr. Lilith Cashlin, whether that is still the case or not, is not your run of the mill NPC when it comes to the sake of intellect. She’s shown to have gotten away with faking her death twice, once as part of her origin and the second in BL2 to keep out of sight from Hyperion. Although we don’t know what she did to accomplish that, we follow with her echo correspondence with Roland (see here) and see that she’s been using her alias as a way to keep the Bloodshot Clan away from Sanctuary for Roland to focus on Hyperion. She as well as the other original VH had to deal with the aftermath of New Haven, an event that greatly effected all of them and made them more focused on saving the citizens that they’ve lived alongside. She genuinely cares for people and wants to do what’s right given the power she has, she understands she has a lot riding on her even if she’s still learning how to deal with responsibility.

In my opinion this makes seeing Lilith throughout the games a way of seeing her grow as a person and slowly get acclimated to being a woman of legend. At least that’s what I was hoping to see in BL3. It all seems to fall flat with her, becoming very little over a one-word catchphrase and her powers alone. Personally I feel the downfall of her started in the Commander Lilith DLC, where Sanctuary ends up overrun by Dahl (I’ll probably make a separate post on Sanctuary). After Roland’s death, Lilith stepped up to the Commander position for the Crimson Raiders, something she didn’t necessarily even have to do. While in position she even made the initiative of letting Tannis create a testing field for training the new Raiders in the The Form of Digistruct Peak. Now regardless on if it would be considered ‘canon’ or not, the idea that Lilith would like to have a training ground made for the sake of the Raiders very much shows she wants to build up a solid homestead for residents of Sanctuary to live in peace on Pandora. Something that honestly should have lead to them actually returning Sanctuary to the ground, and building it up further.

By them taking it away from her they essentially ruled out potential for more personal growth between her and the people of Pandora. She did what she could given the events but if anything it felt like trying to make the player accept the ship in BL3 as the next logical step. Her also naming the ship Sanctuary 3, three mind you, makes her character seem unwilling to accept mistakes from the past and just act like nothing has changed. Which was the whole point of originally having the sanctuary for New Haven citizens be named Sanctuary and not some blanket of New Haven 4. This gets further pushed by the lack of information between our flying city and the ship, and how or why Lilith gave up on the concept of an organized Crimson Raider military, reducing it to a more casual club status. Topping that off, neither Brick or Mordecai continue to follow under her regardless of their conversation at the end of BL2. The Commander title she was given really not being used for anything other than a DLC title.

People have discussed how poorly the scene was for her powers getting stripped away, but what really gets me is how Tyreen’s constant bashing over Lilith’s “Firehawk” title makes it seem like the writers know she can be better. Tyreen is never shown to have any fast way of travelling, so regardless of when they happened to arrive, Lilith could have easily gotten away. To begin with, she wouldn’t have been outside alone with the key in the first place. We have seen Lilith act strategically and plan further ahead in case of things going wrong, warning you of danger and even calmly talking you through while she herself was in danger. She had been through a lot through the events of the games and very well knows the various types of villains that come through the works, there was no reason for her to have her guard down. Once again just a victim of giving the villians excuse to have more to do with the storyline. Without falling Lilith’s character, Tyreen would have absolutely zero power to effect you during most of the game, which honestly is a failure on the potential of Tyreen too.

After taking her siren abilities, the writing makes the audacity to take away Lilith’s own personality and experience, rendering her almost nonexistent when it comes to basically anything in the game. Even Maya herself (who I will talk about on a separate post) refuses to let Lilith be present in battle, which is degrading when they both in canon were established to fight side by side together. Many of the VH in the series are not sirens, and yet are welcome to be present no matter the situation because the characters trust in their abilities. Lilith is headstrong, doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and wants to prove herself no matter the situation. This is just all thrown out the window for a Lilith that is complacent in people keeping her confined to the bridge of a ship. A ship that really could be managed by anyone (especially after Balex comes in).

Honestly, I don’t mind her getting her powers taken, even though i wish it to have been done in better, it’s not a bad story element. What I mind is that she’s never given a chance to prove to the player on how much she is worth regardless of them. She had done so much for the people of Sanctuary, she had the privilege of battling the Destroyer, she had faked her death twice, been captured by Hyperion and lost people she loved, but for what? The story gives her no way of proving her commitment, she doesn’t even get to hold a gun for a majority of it. She gets left on the sides only to be thrown around like a doll when she actually has a chance. Ava’s speech to Lilith after Maya’s death aggravates this more, because while Ava’s dialogue is very fitting given the situation, Lilith has never ran from anything the entire series other than in BL3.

In the end, even with her sacrifice it just feels hollow, because without her involving herself through the game, what was the emotion we were intended to feel for her? Because of her sheer incompetence through the story, the player ends up more or less feeling like ‘oh she did something i guess’ than actually having sorrow for her not being there simply because it was about the same when she was there to begin with. Roland’s death in the second game felt more impactful because he was constantly trying to get Sanctuary to a better point and when in battle, would actually fight with you to push you through. There was no need for special powers because the personality of a character just simply isn’t what they have, it’s what they do. Lilith deserved much more than that.

Once again I can really go on, but so far this is the longest one I’ve done. I really loved Lilith as a character and having her death not even leave an impact makes it really obvious how misused she was.
