Normally for roleplaying im not big on all the stats, but for some reason with mechs they are oh so delicious. I may just have a great character to pull out and repurpose.

Have you ever spent a year stranded alone with only an exo suit on a desolate planet after dropping from low orbit when your transport shuttle from a research station explodes alone with said station? Izic has. Give him a problem and a solution will be found.

Here is a character I'll be using if no one presents a 'rookie' character.

Schulz and his Fafnir are complete, just needs to be looked over to find out if I need to fix anything.

@vietmyke I'm currently fiddling with designs and I'm half tempted to ask if I can use one that I designed out of LEGO. I make LEGO mechs for fun and I sort of want to use one for this. At the same time sorting out visual themes for the character. Originally Izic had a mech that was kind of designed like a werewolf, but that's also starting become cliched for me.

A rookie using a High Mobility MAS, huh? Stellar idea. It would be a shame if someone... had the same idea...

On another note, is the X-55 up for grabs as a system I could use? Or is that, as I'm cautiously assuming, UEE-exclusive (since it comes on the Sparrowhawk and all)?

@EnterTheHero x-55s are a UEE weapon system.

@jasonwolf I'd rather not use Legos

@vietmyke Is there a Coalition equivalent to the X-55 that I could use?

@EnterTheHero Probably not, those are unique to that class of MAS- Similar to how almost all Coalition designs sport tesla drives

@vietmyke That's a shame. I really liked that weapon for my MAS concept. Hit-and-run, rapid assault type, that sort of thing.

Ah, well. I can always find something else.

@Aristo No real criticisms for Alice, seeing as she's been used in another RP before, She'd of course have to deal with suspicion from other members of the team because of her background but that's to be expected. Just need to make the minor background/lore tweaks we discussed earlier and she should be good to go. Same goes with her Gladiator.

@FrostedCaramel, I'm a big fan of Schulz, well written and a likeable, gritty character. Likewise there is nothing wrong with his machine because its just a Fafnir with a couple edits.

@EnterTheHero, still waiting on the character of course, so nothing about the character will be said until its completed. In regards to the machine, I would like to know how a rookie got his hands on a heavily customized machine (as opposed to Lara's custom machine which is just painted a different color) with him still being a rookie and all. The only other complaint I have regarding the machine is its appearance- The Fafnir's appearance is based off of the 'Graze' model kit from gundam, and the High mobility type is based off of the 'Schwalbe Graze' model kit. Its just my own OCD talking, but I'd like a machine based on the Fafnir line to follow the same appearance/design. The stats of the machine itself are fine as far as I can tell.

@jasonwolf The character is not fully completed, but I do have a few notes to point out: While it is likely that his father and his grandfather piloted MAS, its unlikely that would go on for that many generations- MAS are a relatively new development for UEE forces- the majority of which still use Aerospace fighters in combat, so they probably haven't been around long enough for a dozen generations of Daedlis' to pilot them. The idea of a second UEE defector on the team is a little worrying for me, but we can make it work. Also, why did he send a message to the Coalition and not try to be a whistleblower in the UEE? From his background, it appears that his advantage to the Coalition is design information, and not piloting prowess, so why is he in a combat setting with an elite unit instead of in the backlines with R&D labs telling the Coalition about the secrets of the UEE MAS program? Just things to think about.

Also, a 6 gauge shotgun? Is Izic trying to kill a man or a truck? Speaking from personal experience, a 10 gauge shotgun is enough of a bitch to fire, firing a 6 gauge is like asking to dislocate your shoulder in return for mutilating an enemy.

Now, with the Atlas design, it seems more fitted to a Heavy chassis than a medium chassis. you'd be able to afford to give yourself (even more) defenses and even respectable firepower with a heavy chassis.

@vietmyke The idea I had is that he was a test pilot for the Fafnir, of sorts, or at least for some of the gadgets and goodies that he has fitted onto his armor, until he ended up with the Liberator- a sort of hit-and-run configuration. He then signs up with Tigres Team with said MAS. So he has some practical experience with his MAS, just not a lot. The other option is that I start with the Fafnir HMT or another basic configuration, and eventually upgrade to the Liberator from there.

So, would you prefer if I started with the standard HMT, then upgrade up to the Liberator? Or is my test pilot idea sound enough (assuming I write it well enough) to go that route? Either way, I can find a different image to use so I can suit your interests.
