Okay, this idea has been brewing in my head, and I just HAD to draw him...
![]()
Yes... I did not colour him... for 2 reasons;
1) I never colour my drawings, I'm either too lazy to or just afraid I'll ruin them.
2) Borderlands feathures a lot of skins, and some amazing artists who are sure to find the right colours for him... better than I can... allthough he does wear a lab coat... and those should be white XD
Okay, here's what I had in mind;
Story:
He was a docter (possibly another college buddy of Dr. Zed who DID get his degree) who was low on test subjects for project HIVE.
Having more intrest in scientific progression than own gain and glory, he decided to use himself as final test subject.
Needless to say, the test subjects ran out and he did actually use himself.
Orgin:
Project HIVE was a project that would turn a human being into a living insect hive, creating a powerfull weapon that could dispense swarms of buggs onto the battlefield.
Having used himself as test subject, this docter actually succeded into becomming that weapon... but suffered the unforseen; He was able to communicate with the insects that resided within him.
And big desisions like being some goverment's weapon where to be taken by vote.
Becomming a vaulthunter:
If the bugs would be used as a weapon, it would have to be for something they could all agree to. Both the docter and the bugs where aware of an epic venture. A search for a second vault on Pandora.
What better use of this new amazing symbiosis?
Skill suggestions:
Classmod suggestions:
-Medical; Mousqiuto bites, Exorskeleton, (some other Bugged defense skill)
Name suggestions:
Don't like what I have so far guys, you're free to reply with alternatives. Keep in mind that he is based on the fantasy-style druid:
Classname:
-Dr. UID (UID = Untested Insect Director)
-Biocontroller
-...
Person's name:
-Dr. Davis
-Dr. Moric
-...
(open to suggestions)
Skin / head suggestions:
-Harry Potter (suggested by: BentuGB)
-Dr. Zed
(open to suggestions)
Other info:
As you might be able to see, his class mods are degrees. I thought it would be very funny if poor degree-less -Mr.- Zed had to sell these to this new character.
I figured the best possible voice actor for this guy was Sir David Attenborough... But I think that's a bit much to wish for, even IF gearbox is intrested in this idea ^^
But who else can sound intresting about bugs?
Also, his melee attacks are done by some giant bug (I suppose a bettele or centipede or something) that lives on his arm. Which reminds me; if my petition on melee weapons gets through ( http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh...d.php?t=166214 ), then this bug can probably change in shape and size...
Well, be sure to post any ideas you all might have about this character =D

Skill suggestions:
- Action skill: Summon Swarm. (summons a huge swarm of flying bugs onto the field who will search out opponents and damage them, more opponents means less concentrated damage.)
- Tier 1: Bee-autifull
- Buzz bullets: x% Chance to fire bees rather than bullets, saving ammo and gaining x% extra bullet damage done per skill level. They also adjust aim by x%?
- For the queen: Swarm now also summons bees. x% extra damage, x% longer swarm time. (they are hard workers)
- Something bugging you: The swarm now causes some enemies to start flailing melee attacks aimlessly rather than attack in their normal behavior.
- Tier 2: Bugged defense
- Mousqiuto bites: Bugs steal live for x% of the time and restore it to the partymember most in need of it.
- Exorskeleton: Using your swarm covers you and your teammates in hard-shelled bugs. x% team damage reduction per skill level.
- One big bug (final tier skill suggestion): When deploying the swarm, the bugs will also cover you, limiting you to only melee attacks, but letting you gain in speed, damage and a 90% damage reduction.
- Tier 3: Buzzz-killer
- Acid spit: Your swarm now includes termites, who do extra corrosive damage, and have a chance to corrode enemies.
- Flying fire ants: Your swarm now includes flying fire ants, who do extra fire damage and have a chance to ignite enemies.
- Iridium crawlers: Your swarm now includes iridium crawlers, who have a chance to slag opponents.
- This is bugged (final tier skill suggestion): Swarm now disables shields on opponents who are attacked by a large part of the swarm.
Classmod suggestions:
