Just a rough draft of a character idea that popped into my head. It's an idea for a pirate class, name Monte
Introduction
Backstory:
An up-and-coming space pirate, Monte has been hired by the Maliwan board of directors to infiltrate and discover the secret to the Eridium that has made Hyperion the leading company in the galaxy. Using Handsome Jack's call for vault hunters as a mean to move in unnoticed, Monte enters Pandora with only Maliwan's upfront pay, a prototype mini-cannon and a high-tech scope for his left eye.
Description:
Monte is a man in his late 20s, long dark hair and a thin mustache. He wears a long coat over a tight shirt, along side deep pocketed cargo pants and boots. He wears a track and mini-cannon on his right arm, which he keeps on his sleeve, and wears his scope over his left eye.
He tends to speak outloud, having little care (or respect) for those who have done nothing for him. He tends to get ahead of himself, often loosing sight of the objective due to his own greed or arrogance.
In combat, Monte will boast about himself, throwing out insults at his victims like there was no tomorrow.
