Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Character Creator Is Delightfully Bonkers – IGN First

One of the many defining characteristics of the Borderlands series has been its slate of characters. From the playable to the supporting characters, to legendary foes like Handsome Jack, the many people (and annoying robots) inhabiting the Borderlands universe are among some of the most unique and memorable characters in all of gaming. In Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, you can add yourself to that list of legendary characters, because for the first time in the series history, you can create your own custom character.

OK, it's a little bit of a cheat since you're creating a character to play inside a fictional universe created by one of Borderlands’ most popular characters of all, Tiny Tina. But you still get to choose the look and style of your character and put them through the paces of a Borderlands game – a first for the series. But it's more than just letting you create and customize to your heart’s content; everything about Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' character creation system fits flawlessly into the Borderlands universe, the world of Wonderlands being spun on the fly by Tiny Tina, as well as some deeper tabletop RPG touches you might not expect to find.

One of the first jokes when you start up a game of Bunkers and Badasses under the watchful eye of Tiny Tina is a dig at your character model's lack of paint. In fact, the vanilla character template is basically an unpainted miniature, freshly purchased and unpackaged.
