Current Characters: N/A
IC Info
Name: Mordecai
Canon: Borderlands
Age: 46
Appearance: Link
Canon Point: After the Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary DLC
Background: Mordecai's page
More info about Borderlands 1 bc it's lacking on his page.
Over the course of Borderlands 2, Brick and Mordecai essentially adopt a girl named Tiny Tina, who originally had more of a connection to Mordecai's friend Roland. She calls him Mordi-mom, and while it's unclear whether she's being a little shit or actually means it (very possibly, it's both), they do create a solid family unit and stick together.
During the Commander Lilith DLC, he gets infected by the spores released by the DLC's antagonist. Meaning, he would've turned into a plant, basically, if they didn't find the antidote. But they did. It's all fine. Then he and Brick got Tiny Tina a diamond pony, Brick made Mordecai his current sniper rifle as a sobriety present, and that's where we're at now.
Personality: There are two sides to Mordecai: The guy who is genuinely nice and friendly, and the guy who is a murderous and ruthless mercenary.
To him, the cost of a life is simply as much as people are willing to pay for it (so long as it's enough to be worth the hassle). Frequently, it's also worth about as much as the person he's killing happens to be carrying. Money or guns, hopefully both, is an as good reason as any to kill someone. It's nothing personal, most of the time. It's just the way life is. That doesn't mean he has any illusions that he's in any way a good or even decent person. If you're too concerned with being good in the Borderlands, you're going to end up dead.
That said, so long as he has no reason to consider you an enemy, he'll be friendly. He'll apologise for inconveniencing you, thank you if you help him, and always greet you with relative cheer. Even if he doesn't necessarily smile much. After the death of his beloved bird Bloodwing, he reassures the player character/s that they weren't at fault and that they shouldn't feel bad about it.
And from time to time, if he might consider you an enemy, he'll even offer you a chance to get out of his way. When him and Brick were hunting down Athena, he told the woman Athena was travelling with to run rather than get caught in the crossfire of their 'Vault Hunter business'. That's just common courtesy.
His approach to most things is similar to his fighting style. He's an expert sniper, and would argue he's the best shot in the universe, and as such he prefers keeping his distance and out of sight of the enemies. As such, he usually keeps to high ground to provide ranged support and intel. When he's not spying for the Crimson Raiders or sniping, he tends to stay quiet and keep to himself, and has a tendency to disappear into his own head if people aren't talking to him directly. By which I mean, he's an introvert who, while he likes to party, prefers to party primarily with his bird. He's that friend who will come to your party and then go make friends with your pet instead of the people there.
Now, if he decides that you're one of his people (or one of his animals, as it were), he is fiercely loyal. He'll talk you up, encourage you, protect you, and avenge you if anyone messes with you. When Handsome Jack killed Bloodwing, he vowed to wipe every single Hyperion employee off Pandora, never mind how much those employees actually had to do with Jack killing Bloodwing. Didn't matter. To an extent, at least, he'd do the same for anyone he loves.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Weapons, ammo and anything that might be valuable and could be used for trade (since there's no money). Initially booze, but he might return to his previous vow of sobriety eventually.
Sins: Murder (so much murder)
Accomplice to murder
Conspiring to commit murder
Kidnapping
Breaking and entering
Vandalism
Bombing
Threatening
Theft
Poaching
Possession of endangered species
Pride
Greed
Wrath
Powers/Abilities: No special abilities. Just a really damn good shot (winning a marksmanship competition with a revolver when everyone else had sniper rifles level of good) and a propensity for handling dangerous animals.
Items: Digistruct satchel to keep his weapons in
Sniper rifle
Revolver
An actual machete/sword that he calls his hunting knife
Sniper ammo
Revolver ammo
