Borderlands

Plot/Storyline - Setting : Post TFTBL/is intended as a direct sequel. It is completely canon divergent/AU from the events of BL3. #Rhack. #August/Sasha. #Gortys/LB. #Vaugn/Angel. #Fiona/OC.

While the story namely focuses on AI!Jack & Rhys, as well as Fiona, Sasha, Vaugn, August, and a few other familiar faces, the verse does feature quite a few OCs, so I'm going to be posting them here.

This headworld belongs to Evios & myself alike, and is a shared universe.

"Nothing To Lose" was lovingly scripted ages ago, and 14 chapters were already written long before BL3 ever dropped. We're not changing it now. Sorry, not sorry.

PLEASE NOTE : All characters found within this folder will absolutely NEVER be up for sale or trade, unless I have moved them into a trade/sell folder. They are forever homed. So please, don't ask.

Plot/Storyline - Setting : The story takes place in a completely Alternate Universe than the BLs universe proper. Hyperion² is an extended universe, which combines elements from mine & Evios (pre-existing) Borderlands AU, "Rewrite", as well as Zukuro & Rudy's SciFi-Fantasy romp; "Hostile Catabolism". #Rhack.

Through a long and complex weave of events (post the adventure of TFTBL), Rhys  evokes the trope of a "fish out of temporal water" when he is  quite-accidentally hurled 20-something years into the past;

Dropped  back into his old stomping grounds aboard the Helios Station, Rhys  finds himself haplessly having to pretend to be newly-in-the-employee of  the sharktank known as Hyperion while trying to work out how to get  home. In his desperation, he turns to the one and only person he can  possibly think of for some form of help - Johnathan Calix, the man the assigned to the cubicle right next to his. The man who is also one-day destined to become Handsome Jack.

Recently-widowed, overly-worked, doggedly-tired, and under-appreciated, with a 4-year-old daughter to take care of, John - or Jack,  as he prefers to be called - doesn't feel like he's in a position to be  helping anyone, but after Rhys provides him with some pretty  irrefutable proof about the future course of history, the gears of  change are already set in motion: Jack decides to take his destiny into  his own hands, and willfully elects to be a better man than his future  analog, and right the wrongs he's eventually meant to commit - Starting  with Rhys, and making sure the helps to get him back to the time period  from-which he belongs.

This, however, never actually happens.

Instead,  as they grow to know about one another - Jack coming to value Rhys as a  close friend, and Rhys coming to know man before the monster - their  platonic relationship lapses into the romantic somewhere along the ways,  and, becoming absolutely indelibly intertwined as neither one can bear  the idea of eventually parting paths. Repercussions and butterfly-effect  be damned, Rhys chooses to give up pursuits about returning to the  future, and instead the two of them decide that, together, they're going  to become the leaders of Hyperion, and shape a better tomorrow - for  everyone.

A few years down the line and Rhys has become the  president of Hyperion, while Jack serves as his vice. The main series of  events kick off right as the two set off on a new adventure; to find  Angel a suitable mentor, so that she can learn how to properly hone and  control her Siren abilities (rather than locking her away in a digital  tower, and researching abilities in the vain hope of a similar effect).  However, the pair are about to find themselves both in way over their  heads, in uncharted territories of deep space, with great-unknowns, new  enemies, old rivals, and a crew only as loyal as the bills padding their pockets.

Oh, and this time around? It's Atlas who are the bad guys. It's Atlas who are determined to bankrupt Hyperion, and grind them into dust.

Will the intrepid duo come out on top? Probably not. At least, not unless they can make some fast friends, who also just so happen to be more-powerful than the other guys. After all, shit's hostile out there, and things are far from being squared.
