As you all have probably heard I have a big project in the works. But what you haven't heard is that I am offering the members of this site the opportunity to star in my new game. Of course I may have to tweak your personality and appearance just a little to fit my overall vision, but that shouldn't stop you from taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You are Jamal Yamato, a CIA operative with a mysterious past and an even more mysterious agenda. You have a habit of showing up in the wake of bloody conflicts to offer dubious intel to the protagonist. Also your brain has been placed inside the body of a robot dog, but that never really pays off in any way and no one ever even mentions it or explains how it happened.

You are Natalya Mink, a beautiful Russian commando who specializes in operating in wintry conditions so severe that full-scale military operations are impractical. You owe your borderline-superhuman abilities to the inhumane training you were subjected to by the KGB from a young age—which is also why you are totally cool having your tits hanging out when it's like -25 degrees celsius and there's snow swirling everywhere.

You are an anonymous soldier with limited peripheral vision and a neurological impairment that prevents you from remembering things that you saw only seconds ago. You also struggle with object permanence.

You probably have a character based on me already

You are Interim Chief, the founder of the FBI, CIA, and KGB--and the protagonist's mentor. You died years ago in a kumite deathmatch, but still give the protagonist advice in cutscenes. It is unclear if you are a hallucination, a ghost, a consciousness uploaded into a neural network, or a very persistent street performer that looks like Ben Franklin and happens to own a military uniform.

You are Huntington Santangelo, a communications officer with a fondness for pocky and 80's music. Some of the operatives you support get a little annoyed with you for being over-familiar, but they all agree that you come through in the clutch. You give the protagonist their primary missions and key intel, and if they engage with you socially you will also give them side quests.

I liked the game you made what with the shooting Mr Hideo. I would love to be a big city screen movie game star I would.

You are Princess Algonquin Parkway, an infiltration expert with cybernetic pasties that allow you to hack into security systems and use their cameras, traps, and turrets for your own purposes. But you can't wear a shirt or a bra because the cyber-pasties are very sensitive and the fabric would interfere with Bluetooth signals and satellite uplinks and stuff--and I cannot overstate how critical that is to the story.

You know, I've been trying to break into motion-capture performance for the past few years, but the problem is that the technicians just don't know what to do with my massive, pendulous dong. Length, girth, density, I don't know what it is, it just somehow overwhelms their systems every time. Too much data to convert into a mesh or something.

But I have faith in your vision, Mr. Kojima. Between your artist's eye and your studio's technical capabilities, I think we can work together to break boundaries and create something truly special.

You are Everett Everest, a mysterious computer hacker who eschews traditional qwerty keyboards in favor of an array of synthesizers reminiscent of something that a prog-rock musician would use. Your preternatural connection with technology comes at a high cost, though, as you can only communicate with other humans via notes passed to your pet iguana Augustine, who has a robotic tail. Augustine's robotic tail is explained in great detail through a mandatory flashback mission set in Burma during 1985 that occupies approximately 7 hours of gameplay.

Will claptrap be a companion character like Quiet? Will claptrap be wearing a bikini because he's allergic to clothes like Quiet was?

Oh you like Borderlands? Isn't that game a little... remedial? Maybe you aren't ready for the technical challenge and emotional impact of my new project, which is unlike anything that came before and will revolutionize gaming and usher in a bold new age of interactive storytelling.
