Greetings! my first post here. This is one of my character concept for Borderlands 2. Furio is a melee based character, can be said as a combination of Krieg and Zer0. Able to brawl but can build up his melee for a strong finisher attack. His overall design and his skill tree especially the Masked Hero is inspired from tokusatsu heroes. Sorry if it's rough and unfinished, i wanted to complete it at first, but it turns out i have to move out of country in several weeks for my job. So i'm rushing it because there are still 3 more characters i have made, but not yet drawn. And please pardon any grammar mistakes, i'm not a native English speaker.

Story : Originally live as a bandit, after reading too many comics and not enough porn, Furio decided to step up and trying to become a hero. But he caused so many havoc whenever he tried to save someone, he ended up becoming a most wanted criminal. The armor he used was actually given by Handsome Jack himself after he tricked Furio to become a vault hunter, the armor itself is nothing but a movie props and its effect when worn by Furio is just a placebo effect. Furio is wanted for copyright infringement and destruction of intellectual properties
