Playable Characters
Salvador
A description of the character goes here.
Tropes exhibited by this character include:
- 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
A description of the character goes here.
Tropes exhibited by this character include:
- Adventurer Archaeologist: Traveled the galaxy to investigate Siren lore.
- Sensual Spandex
- Touched by Vorlons: She's a Siren, like Lilith. Her powers involve "phaselocking", in which she traps an enemy in an energy bubble and temporarily taking it out of the fight.

Axton
A description of the character goes here.
Tropes exhibited by this character include:
- Dead Wife: He wears her dogtags as she was in the military just like him.

Zer0
A description of the character goes here.
Tropes exhibited by this character include:
- Calling Card: His name is Zer0, but he is called this because when he assassinates someone, his faceplate lights up to a red zero.
- Emoticon: Zero doesn't have facial expressions since he is obviously wearing a mask, so his faceplate lights up to show his emotions such as :) when he kills.
- Expy: Of Snake Eyes. Early concept art even had him wearing a similar grilled visor.
- For Massive Damage: Zer0's playstyle revolves around the hitting a critical point. When invisible, enemy weak points are highlighted for him.
- Invisibility: Sends out a decoy while he turns invisible Predator style.
- Lucky Charms Title
- Ninja
- No Name Given
- Sword and Gun: Has a skill called "Be Like Water" that advocates using both his sword and guns in tandem.
The Mechromancer
A description of the character goes here.

- Wrench Wench: Her designs have elements of it.
Antagonists
Handsome Jack
A description of the character goes here.
Tropes exhibited by this character include:
