Biography - Born and raised on Hermes VI, the Vault Hunter known as Belts, (formal known as Creon O'Sullivan,) was a raising star salesmen for the equipment and shielding tech company known only as Pangolin. Belts knew his way through the mercantile world and know the ins and outs or business while occasionally playing with the shield tech Pangolin gave out to it’s employees. To Belts’ surprise, the young thirty-one year old employee was laid-off from the company due to Hyperion’s weapon and shielding monopoly. Belts became enraged with his employer, stating a case about how he was the most superior salesmen in the company and how he had used his own personal time to benefit the company. Despite his rage induced passion for his work, the salesmen was still laid-off with no benefits or aid. Broke and desperate, Belts began studying ‘get rich quick‘ schemes and found a blog talking about the a border-world known as Pandora and wealth-filled ‘Vaults’ laid dormant somewhere in the planet. With nothing left to his name, Belts returned to his former office, stole a million dollar blue-print for an experimental shield, studied up on using weapons and weapons, built the P.R.O.T.E.S belt, and found a shuttle willing to take him to Pandora.


*note: this is a concept drawing, and not the final design.

(In all honesty, this character is not completely finished and needs some tweaking. I'm posting all of this here because I'd like to get the communities opinion. I'd rather have a half-completed concept shot down rather then a completely done project. Also, power upgrade ideas would be incredibly appreciated. Please, everyone's opinion is valid so tell me what you all think. Thank you very much!)
