Borderlands/Characters/Borderlands 2

All characters originated from the first Borderlands can be found here.

Salvador

 * Badass Native: Salvador is actually a native of Pandora and was the defender of his village.
 * Fighting for A Homeland: Salvador is fighting Hyperion because when they accused everybody that is inhabiting Pandora of being 'bandits', it really means everybody that is not a part of Hyperion.
 * Guns Akimbo: Can actually dual-wield every gun in the game, from pistols to Rocket Launchers as his Limit Break.
 * More Dakka: one of his skill trees is focused on fire rate and the like.
 * The Napoleon: He is a dwarf, caused by a lifetime of steroid abuse.

Maya

 * Adventurer Archaeologist: Traveled the galaxy to investigate Siren lore.

 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

 * Dead Wife: He wears her dogtags as she was in the military just like him.

 * Calling Card: His name is Zer0, but he is called this because when he assassinates someone, his faceplate lights up to a red zero.

 * Sword and Gun: Has a skill called "Be Like Water" that advocates using both his sword and guns in tandem.

The Mechromancer

 * Robot Master: Commands an undead robot known as a D374-TP (aka Death-Trap).
 * Wrench Wench: Her designs have elements of it.

Handsome Jack

 * Author Avatar: Burch pretty much describes Handsome Jack as all the pent up rage he has with humanity except he is 'handsome.'
