Axton \ Borderlands 2

PLAYER: Lain
CHARACTER: Axton
CANON: Borderlands 2


AU NAME: Axton Martin (bc i'm terrible)
AU AGE: 26
AU OCCUPATION: He'll be looking for work in security around the city, previously he was a merc, and before that he had a not great military career.
BLURB:
- Never knew his biological parents, but since he can remember he's always lived with the same foster parents along with a handful of other orphaned boys. Despite his foster parents being strict and running their house like a tiny military squadron, they provided rigid structure and discipline. Arguably something that a group of rambunctious, wayward boys could benefit from.
- At the insistence of his foster parents, he joined ROTC in high school
- Upon graduation, he joined the military as infantry. There he met and fell hard for his commanding officer, Sarah. It was a whirlwind romance, but Axton was young and head over heels for her, so he proposed. Stupidly, she said yes, and things sort of went downhill from there.
- Despite his upbringing, or maybe because of it, Axton had an overwhelming desire for glory and recognition which, unfortunately, clashes with militaristic ideas. He was amazingly skilled but terrible at his job.
- Axton lasted just shy of 5 years in the military, but after a number of increasingly significant incidences, he was politely asked to 'retire' before he caused any real trouble and was honorably discharged. Sarah was the one to deliver the news; she also told him she'd filed for a divorce and gave him back the wedding ring he'd bought her. An all around great day.
- After being discharged, he sold his expertise as a mercenary, traveling far and wide as a gun for hire
- Although the money was good, very good, mercenary work didn't usually result in cheering crowds and gratitude. He was too soft to be cut out for merc work anyway. Now Axton's found his way to Recolle hoping to find security work and a quieter existence
LOOKING FOR:
- People/businesses looking to hire him as security personnel
- Maybe fellow soldiers? Childhood friends etc.
- Casual acquaintances, since I think he'll have been in Recolle for a couple of weeks at least.
- Not sure what else. I'm a newbie to this game and this is kind of terrifying.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
- his app is mostly ready, now i'm just trying to see if this game will be a good fit for him
