===''Borderlands'' classes===

Being the first game, character classes are much more restrictive than in later games, albeit one could still use some degree of variety during gameplay.

'''Roland''', the Soldier, is your typical Jack-of-all-Trades. A former Crimson Lance combat engineer who defected after blamming his [[Commissar|asshole superior]], Roland favors assault rifles and shotguns. His special ability deploys a fixed turret, providing cover, suppressive fire and various buffs to himself and his allies. His skill trees focus on buffing his gun proficiencies and his turret's, resupplying the team with ammo and health packs or turning full medic.

'''Lilith''', the Siren, is the Mage equivalent. One of the six Sirens (women with magic powers and weird tattoos) in the whole galaxy, Lilith uses pistols and submachine guns. Her special skill has her turning intangible and extremely fast for a few seconds, causing a shockwave once the effect ends. Her skill trees focus on crowd control, elemental damage (especially Fire and Acid) and killing chains to remain buffed.

'''Mordecai''', the Hunter, is the Ranger equivalent. A shooting prodigy who travels the galaxy for cash with his pet bird of prey Bloodwing, Mordecai uses revolvers and sniper rifles. His special skill has him sic Bloodwing on enemies for massive damage. skill trees focus on boosting his sniping abilities, becoming a better gunslinger or letting his bird do almost all the legwork.

'''Brick''', Himself, is your Barbarian/Berserker equivalent. With little to zero character development aside "liking to punch things" and "being fucking angry", Brick favours hand-to-hand combat and rocket launchers.  His special skill has him go [[Angry Marines|FULL RAGE]] and holster his weapons to punch everything to death. His skill trees focus on becoming better at punching, using rockets or simply tanking hits.
