Fun fact: If you select Cl4P-TP in the Pre-Sequel the game will actually try to persuade you to not choose him when in actuality he's the most versatile player in the game.

I really hope you guys give Borderlands 2's "Meat Bicycle For Two" trailer a shot. It is so damn entertaining.

To my understanding, Sirens are sort of cosmically "chosen" superwomen. They can come from anywhere, and they're not generally known from birth...it's more something that "manifests" when they get to a certain age, or they can even become Sirens later in life. At one time there are always six Sirens in existence in the universe, and when one dies the "mantle" passes to another woman or girl somewhere out in the cosmos. They all have different abilities and powers pretty specific to themselves and their own personal flavor. Lilith can phase through reality in an intangible state, with explosive effects when popping out of the ethereal form. Maya has the "phaselock" ability, where she can summon bubbles of energy to lift and trap foes and in some cases move objects around. Amara has kind of a smattering of powers (BL3 expanded skill trees quite a bit and gave players a lot of special powers to choose from), but they generally revolve around the manifesting of that set of spectral arms to interact with enemies in different ways (straight up smashing, projecting waves of force forward, and a grab/lift similar to Maya's). There are other Sirens in the games as well, with different powers of their own. I won't go into them too much, but yeah...all of my main series BL1-3 first playthroughs were as the Siren character of the title, and they were ALL awesome. Every character has something fun to enjoy but I mean...come on, smokin' hot badass women covered in glowing tattoos who can wreak havoc with special reality-warping powers? It's hard to top that lol. Definitely my favorites of the player choices/NPCs. As to the Vault? Well, that's something that is kind of a mystery as the series starts. It's kind of a fairy tale in this area of space, some ancient place locked away for aeons, the contents of which could be pretty much whatever you dream them to be. It's like searching for the Fountain of Youth, it's mostly rumors and little clues found in corners of the universe...but the allure of it is still enough to capture the imaginations of people across all worlds, who come together to try to find it as Vault Hunters. Riches, weapons, power...the Vault is pretty much the dream for a lot of people. The actual nature of the Vault? Well, that's something our player characters have to find out for themselves. ;) Borderlands really was a fixation of mine for quite a while lol. I played the living HECK out of 1-3, though I never did try out the Pre-Sequel. They're all pretty great games, though they each have their ups and downs (the writing in BL3 is pretty notoriously bad, but the combat mechanics are all great and the pace of the gameplay/firefights is quick and intense). Great series all in all, one day I gotta go back and try out the Pre-Sequel.

"It’s cute that you all think you’re the heroes of this little adventure, but you’re not"😄

Borderlands 2 will always have a place in my heart it made my childhood

To be honest, I never was a typical "Shooter" Guy, more like a RPG / Adventure Guy. But playing Borderlands 1 made me fell in love with the series at almost an instant. They have incredible dialog and a nice kind of humor, which sets them apart from other Shooter-Games^^

There's 4 more trailers that you can see for the DLC vault hunters that weren't shown in the original intros. We've got Gaige the Mechromancer, Krieg the Psycho, Aurelia the Baroness and Jack the Doppelganger.

Having met Colleen Clinkenbeard who voices Lilith and Tannis, and her randomly saying of Tannis's insane lines nearly had me on the floor laughing.

'Vaults' in borderlands are super ancient prisons and treasure troves built by a long dead race of hyper intelligent aliens called 'The Eridians'. They were used to hide treasures and seal away dangerous monsters (that doubles as gaurdians of the treasures within). 'Vault-Hunters' are people who are seeking to open a vaults and claim the treasures hidden in the vault--which is typically massive amounts of weapons and money. In universe they are considered some of the most dangerous and insane people you can mess with due to how difficult the task of finding and opening a vault is. The 'Children of the Vault' is a cult that gets started between borderlands two and three while the crimson raiders (A group of volunteers and vault hunters from 1&2 dedicated to protecting pandora) were recovering from the events of the second game. The cult is lead by the 'twin-gods', sirens Tyreen and Troy Calypso (Troy is the only one to break the rule that sirens are female, because he and Tyreen were conjoined at birth). They have the most dangerous of the six siren abilites (Each siren has different powers), and believe that its their birthright to open 'the great vault'--they're basically internet streamers with god complexes, who were so charismatic that they were able to start a cult in their name. Others have already mentioned the rule that there can only be six sirens in the universe, something thats revealed over the course of BL2. What isn't mentioned is that the reason why there is a siren in every game, save for the Pre-Sequel (since you aren't playing vault-hunters (technically) in that game), is because Sirens are naturally drawn to Pandora. The reasoning isn't entirely clear in universe, some suspect its due to the planets massive stores of eridium (An incredibly dangerous and unstable purple stone) which fuels a sirens power, others say its due to the high amount of vaults that dot Pandora's surface, others suspect its where the siren powers come from and this is them 'returning home' so to speak.

In the universe of borderlands there can only be 6 sirens alive in one time. And yes all sirens can only be females. The vault is a monster different monster in each vault who ever opens the vault is in control of the monster. I guess I should say there's a monster that defends the vault you have to defeat and or take control of which we don't but the villains do lol

If you want the story/lore you might want to watch the rest of the intros, since you only saw the "song/character introduction" parts, each intro also has a story part that comes before the characters part, don't know why those weren't included here.

“Technically” yes there once was a male siren, but that was only because he was a conjoined twin with the real siren. In the games they were since separated with himself being the only one to lose anything (his arm). He did end up sharing the siren power his sister had but I think it was severely less powerful. His ability was called “phaseleech” and pretty much allowed him and his sister to leech powers from others.

Sirens are six(seven) psionic superbeings. They are always female... except that one time. The Vault is a literal McGuffin. It always has the thing you need to play the story, and unlocking it does a thing, a thing that makes a new sequel. Or a ButtStallion. or Both.

interesting thing about the pre-sequel: it plays between borderlands 1 and 2. in borderlands 2 you meet some of the presequel chars... as enemies u have to kill. also a common thing in the series is that the chars from previous games appear as npcs in the later games and some even die there

Siren powers work on inheritance - when one dies, the power will choose an inheritor and transfer to that person regardless of anyone knowing or being ready for it (with very slight exceptions). On a different note: There can only be 6 (technically 7) Sirens in the universe at any given time and they are always women (again with a slight exception if it even counts, its complicated lol). Then as a side note: We haven't met or heard of the 7th siren yet (Apart from being warned she must not be met for an unclear reason).

No idea if you guys are still checking here, but the intros for Tales from the Borderlands are all fantastic

Borderlands is one of my favorite game series, they are so over the top and fun and the humor is just unmatched if u enjoy that kind of humor.

Borderlands' cover art has a bandit making a finger gun at his head, borderlands 2 he has both hands, so the devs made the joke during the thirds development that they can't release it till they figure out how to engineer a three armed bandit.

Don't know if any of this has been covered yet. There's a lot behind sirens, there can only be six in the universe at a time, and they can only be women, and I believe during Borderlands 3 there was a switch between sirens, so if one dies another one will take its place. There's also a weird thing they can do, where they can pass on their powers to someone else willingly aside from randomly. Of course in Borderlands 3 it's proven that not all Sirens are good. The vaults are kind of a combination of different alien things. So they both are the gate as well as the monster behind them. According to Borderlands 3, they're usually created to stop an even bigger monster of some sort, I would look into Borderlands 3 if you want the most information about the vaults. There's a lot of stuff especially in three that would be very spoilery I don't know if you want to know about any of that.

To answer some of the questions without spoiling anything. The Sirens aren't a race, they are individuals who have acquired incredible, mysterious powers, and are physically distinguished by elaborate tattoos that cover half of their bodies. It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. The women who are Siren are just born Sirens. When a Siren uses their power their tattoos glow. The planet they're on is Pandora, there's a rumor in the universe of a vault in Pandora so vault hunters came to Pandora to seek it out hoping to find wealth and loot inside.

Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2 is an AMAZING villain who thinks he’s the good guy and your a bunch of bandits. He also heckles you the whole game

If you ever get into looking at the Borderlands series, know that Jack is a real piece of work.

What I love about all of them is that the last/4th vault hunter is something other than what they actually are, “Claptrap as a mistake” even though his ability gives him a random ability “Brick as himself” He is basically the tank “Zer0 as a number” is an assassin which is why he can go invisible” “Zane as himselves” and he is like an operative because he can send out a clone of himself and other things to help himself or friends

Love when you guys watch Borderlands!!!

The cool thing about Claptrap is he has everyone's ability up to 2 but in his own way. There are some conditions but it's mostly random which ability he'll get. Also while 1 has a better song 2 is still my favorite. 2 is generally the most liked while 3 has the best gameplay.

Borderlands 2 was peak borderlands honestly. Handsome Jack is an amazing villain you love to hate, entertaining throughout too. I’d say he’s as memorable as Vas in Far Cry. Even all the DLC was great to play. The pre-sequel wasn’t made completely in house so it didn’t do much but bridge the gap between 1 and 2. Still fun but not the same. BL3 scratched the itch but again just didn’t hit the same as 2.

Ultimately, Borderlands revolves completely around the vaults. The ultimate goal is oriented around finding and getting into vaults because of the extreme power promised by doing so. So it's a place of unimaginable danger and power scattered on worlds around the galaxy.

Zer0 will always be immortalised as one of my favourite video game characters

been waiting for this! thank you guys!

FL4K and CL4P-TP are both hyperion robots(you can tell by the color of their chassis with both of them being "hyperion yellow")

For people who are confused Borderlands The Pre Sequel takes place after the events of the first borderlands but also before the events of Borderlands 2!

Characters abilities Pre-sequel Wilhelm: drones one of them heals him and the other attacks Athena: she has a sheild to protect herself and to throw Nisha: she can use 2 guns CL4P-TP: has every abilitie Borderlands 1 Mordecai: his bird will kill near by bandits Lilith: will turn invisible Ronald: has a turret Brick: will be stronger and can kill anyone with just his fist Borderlands 2 Axton: has a turret Maya: can make enemies float Salvador: can use 2 guns Zer0: can become invisible and throw a hologram Gaige: has a robot buddy Krieg: gets crazier and for every kill his health heals Borderlands 3 FL4K: he has pets one of them gives him speed the other gives him strength and the other regenerates him and he can turn invisible and has rakks Moze: she has her robot friend iron bear and iron bear has many weapons Amara: she can levitate enemies and has other siren abilities Zane: he has a sheild, a drone , a hologram (ex: if he leaves his hologram on one side of the room and if he is on the other side and then he can teleport to where he place his hologram)

Story wise, the rough timeline is Borderlands 1 (Released in 2009), the Pre-Sequel (even if the first in-game cinematic is set after the end of BL2 - Released in 2014), Borderlands 2 (Released in 2012) and then Borderlands 3 (Released in 2019).

Yeah as you saw Sirens are basically in every game except Pre-sequel. In the Borderlands universe they are an incredibly small group of women possessing supernatural abilities. They are the key to unlocking vaults (massive alien treasure troves) and there can only ever be 6 Sirens at any one point in time They are EXTREMELY badass

Sirens are a race of beings that have been within the Borderlands universe for thousands of years. Only 6 different sirens can exsist within the Borderlands universe at any given time. Borderlands 1, 2 and 3 have the biggest emphasises on sirens as they take part in the history of vaults and the Eridians. The concept of Borderlands varies between games. Borderlands 1/BL1 is straight foward and that four Vault Hunters came to Pandora in search of fame, power and loot by hunting a mysterious alien legend known as the Vault. BL2 follows four/six Vault Hunters that were lured to the planet by Handsome Jack in hopes of killing them and preventing them from stopping the foreseen future of Jack opening and controlling a Vault to wipe the bandits and creatures of Pandora off of the face of it. Four/six Vault Hunters travel to the moon of Pandora which is Elpis as Jack at the time was just a programmer who through his skills and intellect uncovered a Vault hidden within the moon... he hired the 4/6 Vault Hunters in his attempt of uncovering and opening the Vault against the will of The Lost Legion who had forseen BL2's events. BL3 follows 5yrs after the events of BL2's 5th campaign DLC, twin brother and sister sirens came to Pandora in hopes of ascending to GOD-HOOD by using their siren power to leech the strongest being/Vault Monster, The Destroyer... they claimed the clans of Bandits across Pandora and dubbed themselves as The COV or Children Of the Vault.

Super excited to watch this video :D

So the thing about the Sirens, in BL2 there is a small exposition where there are only 6 within the Universe at one time, each one having a different form of phasing, easily identified by the tattoos, and each of them only women. Lilith (BL1) - Phasewalking Maya (BL2) - Phaselocking Angel (not in trailers but in BL2) - Phaseshifting Amara (BL3) - Phasetrance Tyreen (not in trailer but in BL3) - Phaseleeching Last one is unknown as they only showed 5 different phase powers within the game series. There was a comic that supposedly showed the sixth but the powers were never revealed. Fun part, when a Siren dies, the powers gets transferred to another female within the universe at random.

For the first time ever (totally 🤣) And always overdue I am here to say YOU GUYS FUGGIN ROCK!! 😊❤️❤️

Borderlands 2 has the best intro in gaming ever... and a lot of it has to do with that amazing song.

I wouldn’t say that Sirens are a race but more of a rare phenomenon considering there can only be 6-7 (it’s I’m one of those numbers) sirens alive in the universe at one time and each siren is either born with the ability they get or they late on in life obtain it by random or by another siren giving them their power after their death. Also basically all sirens are female with the exception of Troy in BL3 since he was leaching off his sister because without her he would die so when they were both born they had to basically cut him off her and he obtained some of her powers making him the first male siren and siren powers vary from phase walk,grasp,leach, and plenty more. Also you can tell a Siren apart mainly from their tattoos they have on their arm. But on the basis of the Vaults basically they range from being a prison to being a weapon cache there was a superior race called the Eridians that made these vaults to lock away various monsters that had threatened the world and in some cases the universe and the Vault hunters are basically as their name says they hunt down the various vaults in search for various reasons since each character has their reasons for being a vault hunter. The children of the vault are basically just a cult of bandits

You can tell a lot about people based on their Vault Hunters. I played: Roland Athena Axton And Moze Sirens are Naturally all Female but there is 1 male one who is a twin. Only 7 Sirens can exist at one time. Vaults are complicated. Said to hold treasure but often are prisons for dangerous beasts.

So Sirens are born to random people but there are only i believe 6 at any given time in the universe. Each siren has their own version of an ability. Vaults are well vaults but there made by an ancient long dead race of aliens full of treasure and loot. The children of the vault are a cult lead by an evil pair of siren twins and Vault hunters are basically mercenary treasure hunters who sometimes tend to do good things along the way like a hyper violent Indiana Jones. Also advise looking up Meat Bike for two. Best character intro ever

The best part to me is how they use mostly The heavy songs for the intros after borderlands 1. The best one is when they use "how you like me now", after you kill Handsome Jack at the end of 2, which is the best possible sp g to hesr after I tomahawked Jack as the Commando, even tho letting Lilith do it was much for fitting bc of what he did to Roland, she deserved her revenge.

It makes me furious that they watched the pre sequal before the first

They're making a _Borderlands_ movie, so that might be worth keeping an eye on!

I'm excited to see yall play the borderland series!!!!!

Vaults are portols 2 acent wizdom & godlike monsters vaults are pocket demensions

Siren: Six superwomans and each one have a different power. Some are friends, other are enemies. If one dies, other woman receive their power. Vault: Alien treasures around the universe, each one is like a super tech or some type of power, for example teleport across the universe, with the Vault of the Traveller Vault Hunters: Basically people that hunt the vaults Children of the Vault: A type of cult that is the main antagonist of Borderlands 3 (Spoiler: They have this name because the two heads of the cult are children of the first Vault Hunter) Zer0: It is in the middle of an alien/robot

You got no idea how much I love these intros how special they are to me.

Don't forget 'Meat Bicycle Built for Two' which is a BL2 vid introducing a playable character that was added in DLC, Krieg.

Vault hunters are people lookin 2 open the vaults everyone u play as is a vault hunter!

The sirens are a special story element, there can only be a few at a time. The vaults got loot that can be sold for money, vault hunter find vaults. Children of the vault are just a cult in BL3. Most of the people are crazy because the planet sucks and you need to be crazy to go there in the first place. Any other questions, ask and you will receive.

To answer your questions: Question 1: The Sirens a group of 6 women in the universe that posses supernatural abilities within the Borderlands Universe, a person can have Siren powers from birth (like with Lilith the red headed Siren) or can be passed on to another (we've seen characters that didn't start as Sirens gain Siren powers later on after a Siren died, we don't know the method yet). Normally Sirens are female however there's only been 1 very special case where there was a male siren, but that's an expection not the norm. In the lore Sirens are drawn to Pandora (the planet the games mostly take place) for some reason which is why we tend to get at least 1 Siren playable per game (besides the Pre-Sequel). You don't need a Siren on your team they're just a playable character you don't have to pick them if you don't want to (though they tend to be pretty strong characters). Question 2: The Vault(s) was a old legend in the Borderlands lore with many people claiming different things about the Vaults like wealth, power or "some nonsense like friendship" - Marcus the gun dealer, so people that search for these Vaults are called Vault Hunters. You as the player are a Vault Hunter searching for these legendary Vault(s) & that leads the characters to Pandora. Question 3: The Childern of the Vault were a cult led by the villians of Borderlands 3, they conviced (tricked) the bandits of Pandora (like the crazies in the openings) into following their pursuit of the Vaults promising riches & power to those that helped them find & open the Vaults.

Congratulations guys!🖤🖤

There are individual trailers for the Borderlands 3 vault hunters and also trailers for additional vault hunters from Borderlands 2(Krieg) and The Pre-Sequel(Aurelia)

I played the first Borderlands so much that the title screen actually burned into my old tv screen because we never really turned it off, just took breaks! XD

Something not mentioned here that needs to be: zane is related to two main series bosses you fight in borderlands 1 and 2. And he's somehow the youngest (if I'm wrong, he was for sure the middle, but if memory serves right, he's the youngest of 3)

the thing about sirens is that only 8 of them could exist at any given time(it used to be 6 but they retconned it so that there are now 8 since phase-leech isn't the 7th siren power and it's not one of the original 6) and each one is born with different crazy powers phase-lock phase-walk(the ability to teleport and move between dimensions) phase-shift(the ability to control anything that people agree are machines) phase-trance(Amaras ability) phase-puppetry?(I assume thats what it's called because it allows it's user to control other living things) phase-leech(the ability to suck the life out of someone by simply touching them) and phase-lock(Mayas ability) the other powers are unknown... also male sirens are possible as seen with Troy calypso but that is only because Troy and Tyreen were chimeric twins(when 2 conjoined twins are different genders) and it's possible for some sirens to use their power in such a way that they could mimic the abilities of other sirens... although it's a weaker version of that power they are mimicking

The Pre-Sequel is the only Borderlands game to not have a playable Siren as one of the characters, the only character in The Pre-Sequel who comes close is a DLC character: Aurelia Hammerlock. Aurelia is definitely one of the more interesting and underrated characters (in my opinion). Her ice powers are pretty cool (no pun intended), and she herself confirmed in Borderlands 3 that her ice powers/abilities are just 'nanotechnology and years of experience'

Sirens are basically the "magic" class of the group.

Congratulations on the milestone,you two. Here's to more in the in the future. As always another Fantastic video. Keep being awesome. Vault hunters are pretty much treasure hunters, and the children of the vault is nearly like a cult. Sirens are females only.

7 sirens can and will exist in the universe at one time, if a siren dies the powers go to a random person, but can be manipulated by the siren while they are alive

Borderlands 2 is an amazing game that me and my friends are playing again and it still holds up as a very fun experience

When it comes to sirens in the video game lore only 6 can ever exist at 1 time

There are only ever 6 sirens living at any given time (or I think it's 6 it's a set number of them) and when one dies another is born or their powers are bestowed onto someone else like in borderlands 2 when Angle dies Tannith gets siren powers I think they were passed but I don't remember. And there has only ever been 1 male "siren" as in like the marks or tatoos but he was the twin to the actual siren and he was a parasite that had to live off of his sisters energy

I've always loved the Borderlands series since the very start, so I'll try explain the lore a bit. So the planet the games mostly take place on is Pandora. It was once home to an Alien race called the Eridians who were basically super advanced. They had massive vaults that housed anything from endless wealth to power in any form imaginable. Each vault was protected by a monster as a sort of guard dog. Vault hunters were basically people who existed to find and open these vaults and claim whatever was inside, since the Eridians had basically disappeared. Sirens are sort of descendants to the Eridians. They're cosmically chosen and can inherit powers from one siren to another upon their death. Only 6 can be alive in Borderlands' universe at any given stage, and as if the games, we've seen 5 of them. (Lilith, Maya, Amara and the antagonists of 3, Tyreen and Troy). Originally, Sirens could only be female, but it was later changed in 3 with a male Siren named Troy. When not pillaging vaults, there's a whole other sect of stuff happening. Like the endless corporate war with the in-universe arms dealers, Handsome Jack and his dictatorship in 2 and the Bandits and Psychos who live on Pandora (the gas-mask wearing shirtless guys). 2 also introduced 2 other playable characters. Gaige and Krieg. Gaige is a high-schooler with a robot companion named Deathtrap and Krieg is a "friendly" Psycho who *really* loves meat bicycles. There was also a really cool spin-off called Tales from the Borderlands, revolving around a Hyperion bureaucrat and a Pandorian swindler. There's also a movie coming out this year.

I think you should check out the little intros in form of tales that Marcus tells before each real intro to the vault hunters

Remember that Roland intro, and then think about the fact they were going to cast Kevin Hart to play him in the adaptation.

The Dog like beast in the intros are called Skags, they breed like rabbits, have the aggression of a Crocodile and the eating habits of a tiger shark (meaning they eat literally everything). Cl4P-TRP or ClapTrap is a robot made by the Hyperion company, they were designed to be a type of helper bot but were found to be extremely annoying, the Claptrap unit you play in the Pre-Sequal is the last functional model (still super annoying, doubt many on Pandora feel too bad about the Claptraps being wiped out).

“The women seem like the best” oh, they are, by a long shot😂 the sirens r all mighty BEASTS. Only person more OP, is prolly the gunzerker in the second game

The planet that Borderlands takes place on is called Pandora. Which is a suitable name since, in the first game, there's just the one vault and it's like the core of the planet. At least, that's what I got out of it from just playing the game. To me, Borderlands will always be a happy go lucky, FPS, ARPG with multiplayer and a TON of options when it comes to classes and maps to play. My favorite class is the Mechromancer and my favorite campaign is the island of Dr.Ned DLC. :)

nice to see more borderlands ! next time around you should really react to the various vault hunter trailers for borderlands 3, really explains a bit better what they're about, for now you've only seen the npc and boss intros, not much about the playable characters outside of their little scenes in the intros

Fun fact the band in the pree sqeual trailer is actualy a austrailian band

I hope you guys do all the Borderlands trailers at some point, they're super entertaining!

TL DR Sirens are mysterious group of women throut universes timeline(their powers are randomly bestowed on some women when one dies) with some wierd powers and they are drawn to eachother because they are sirens so in any main game(Pre-Sequel is a side story about 2nd game's main villain) the siren is a PC class.

The glasses that hold the wine, was that "Harper Blue" ?

Sirens are females who are conected to the vaults in some way. There can always be 7 sirens at the same time, as the monks in BL3 and handsome jack says in BL2. Sirens grand awesome powers witch can be trained. If a siren dies this powers get transfer to another female. The only known anomaly in the All female Theorie is Troy who was born as a syamese twin with his sister, who was a siren.

Did you guys do all the Trailers ? Because those are awesome as hell and explain more.

It’s supposed that in the borderlands universe there can be only 6 sirens alive in the same time, and the 3 sirens in the intros are the sirens we know (srry for my english 🤧)

Sirens are the strongest beings in the universe and there are only 6 allowed to be alive at a time. They are also the only people in the universes who can open vaults, and by that they're needed to charge the keys. They often control elements of some kind and each siren has specific powers that pass on to other women when they die. We've always known there to be 6 but the 3rd game eluded to a seventh that must never be united with the other 6.

You had quite a few questions at the end, my best answer is to play the games, Experiencing the lore is so much better than just hearing about it.

Also you defineteluy should see the awesome Borderlands 3 Character trailers. And I must say Gearbox select cool music for Borderland trailers, intros & outros. Even in 'Tales from Borderlands' (but why 'even' , it's 'especially') - I don't know who peek musik for Tales from Borderlands - Telltales theyseves or Gearbox, but it fit perfectly.

ah borderlands. this series has so much to them. sirens and their powers are basically gifts. when one sirem passes they choose who gets their powers. only 6 can exist in the universe at any given moment. but there is some story talking about not to awaken the 7th siren. childten of the vault are troy and tyreen calypso. both which are sirens. literally the only male siren is troy. but its cause he was a conjoined twin with his sister.

All of the Borderlands games follow a similar pattern with the playable characters, except some like most of the Pre-Sequel characters and the DLC ones. There is always a "Soldier," examples being Wilhelm in Pre-Sequel, Roland in BL1, Axton in BL2, and Zane in BL3. Always a siren, examples being Lilith in BL1, Maya (one of my personal favorites) in BL2, and Amara in BL3. They also got some tanky characters like Brick in BL1, Salvador in BL2, and Moze in BL3. Some characters like I mentioned can be unique, Zer0 in BL2 being very unique, Athena, the Lawbringer girl, and Claptrap from pre-sequel are all quite unique, and Beastmaster from BL3 is probably the most different. Sorry for the horribly organized comment, hope this was some interesting information, much love. Glad you guys reacted to some Borderlands, I have loved this series since I was probably 13-ish, I'm 19 now, few and far releases in between games but I'm waiting for 4 patiently :`).

Really fun franchise, took me by surprise. A lot better than I expected, there was a trailer for the first one, it was one of the first things I downloaded. It was a serious epic grim trailer with the matrix " you are gonna need guns A lot of guns" and then the rows of guns, and it was in that more real than real like graphics. As it's obvious they did not stick with that the next trailer had some of the same Scenes but now in cel shading and more humor

How have you not played these games.......?.......C'mon these are Legends..........

Siren's are like a mythological role like Aspects in League of Legends, there can only be 6 when one dies another is born. Right now I think only three are alive after the events of BL 3 I haven't played the newest spin-off though, but that's an in-universe D&D game so idk if anything important happens in it. Commandant Steele, the villain of BL1, Lilith, Maya, Angel (Jack's daughter), Ava, Tyreen Calypso (Borderlands 3 Villain), Patricia Tannis and Amara.

Siren is a type of individual. They have extraordinary powers, even for the Borderlands universe. There are only supposed to be 7 Sirens in existence at any one time in the known Universe. We have met at least 5 or 6, some at different times. Lilith, Maya, Amara, as well as Angel and Dr Tannis, though theory is Dr Tannis and Angel are Daughter and Mother and Tannis only got her powers back after Angel was killed. But part of the Prophecy about the Sirens is that you do NOT ever want to find the 7th Siren.

You don't necessarily always have to have a siren. The Pre-Sequel doesn't have a siren. Sirens are actually exceptionally rare. There are only six of them in the universe at any one point in time and if a siren dies the power gets passed on to another woman randomly. Nobody really knows exactly how or why it works but all we know is that it has to do with some ancient alien race

There's only six sirens that can exist in the universe at one time

First off: Congratulations on 150k! I'll do my best to answer some of the questions you posed at the end. Regarding the sirens, they are indeed women with powerful abilities; each one of them possessing different powers. There are six of them at any given time, with a new one appearing when one of the six die. They are all a blast to play as, but then just about every vault hunter is! The reason for so many sirens showing up to hunt vaults (one on most of the teams we can play as) is because they are drawn to seek the vaults out subconsciously. The Vaults are believed to be alien weapon caches (during Borderlands 1 and the Pre-Sequel) but are actually alien prisons built by a race called Eridians. The vault hunters are initially a group of people who are drawn to the supposed power and wealth contained within these vaults. Later when the truth about them is revealed the vault hunters instead hunt vaults to take out the monsters that are inside of them before somebody else can set them free for their own evil ends. The Children of the Vault are a recently formed bandit cult who are led by a siren and her twin brother. This part isn't related to your questions, but Handsome Jack is my hands down favorite villain in any game/book/movie, what have you, so it's great to see you two getting more and more into this series! He manages to flip between being hilarious and menacing at the drop of a hat without the change in tone feeling unnatural. His voice actor did a phenomenal job with him.

It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. All Sirens are inexplicably drawn to the planet Pandora at some point in their lives. That’s why Sirens are most likely to become Vault hunters. There are some DLC characters that have intros and there’s a choice matters game called Tales from the Borderlands

My Favorite Vault hunters to play as Borderlands: Brick Borderlands 2: Salvador, Maya and Gaige (not shown in trailer) Borderlands TPS: Nisha, Athena and Aurelia ( not shown in trailer) Borderlands 3: Moze and Amara If you guys ever decide to play this franchise, you’ll definitely love it. Especially since its one of the few games now adays that still lets you play with your friends at home. Couch co-op, online mode is optional to your choosing

There's also a Telltale game in Borderlands univers - Tales from borderlands. About 5 intros in game (sorry for bad English, not my first language)

The thing about Borderlands. Your character might be a "Good Guy" but that doesn't mean they are necessarily "Good People".

The sirens are a race that went extinct years ago but there powers can be inherited but of course the the inheriting process is random some get powers some dont it's pretty rare the only way for it be pretty high chance is if your parent was a siren of course it's random what power you get when your born but there all pretty neat and are bound to give you one hell of a advantage no matter which one your born with.

Borderlands games series really awesome and great too 😊can’t wait next one 🦊🍿

the sirens are my favourite too. they’re the “mage class” of Borderlands and are the most powerful and significant characters in their world.

In bl2 there are 2 additional vault hunters called gaige and creig, gaige can sommon a death robot to fight with her (which in every borderlands game, there are skill trees and gaige was BROKEN in bl2). And creig is a phsyco like what you see in those trailers who also in the lore had a crush on maya (the siren in bl2).

Think of each planet as being alive ( Mother Earth like ) the Vaults are sort of their hearts and each vault is protected by a massive beast. Jack wants to gain control of the vaults. That is as far on that as I will say for spoilers. As some one else mentioned there are six Sirens, there can only be six at one time and they are always female. When one dies if they have not chosen a successor for the power than the power will randomly select the next successor. Again as far as I want to go for spoiler reasons. The sirens in the three games that are playable: Lillith in the first, Maya in the second and Amara in the third.
