You pick your character from one of three archetypes: Mordecai, a (hunter,) who specializes in sniping; Roland, a more typical mercenary type (soldier); and the mysterious Lilith, a (siren) whose magic-like abilities are under wraps for now. Beyond the starting abilities, as you level up you select the areas you want to specialize in. As you use certain types of weapons or equipment, you gain expertise, making you more accurate or effective in the field.
Your character is persistent, but your game isn't necessarily. You can jump into a friend's game with your character, gain levels and pick up loot, and hop back into your own. Or play through entirely in co-op mode, where Gearbox plans to make room for four players.
