Yes, definitely eager to have non-humans as well as human characters feature. Will go into more detail with this on the OOC. But feel free to DM me the details in the meantime.

The Saturday morning cartoon? Engage Enhanced Imagining?! The 3D has [I]not[/I] aged well. It's great.

I'm pretty into Battletech, but there's a lot of lore to go through, and I came in kinda late. I played the mektek mod of MechWarrior Mercenaries 4 a bit, some ten years ago or somethin' like that. Mech Merc 5 is pretty cool, too. My first exposure to Battletech was from MechAssault 2, on the first Xbox. What a game that was. I couldn't play online, though, 'cause we didn't have live until after the game was dead.

Chromehounds was also a jam, though.

There is a lot of lore, and it's continuous since the original release as well, so it can feel a bit overwhelming to try and take all of it in or get up to date on all of it. 
By comparison to your experience, I haven't really played any of the video games - I've always been more of a console 'gamer', and I use the term in quote marks, since I'm pretty casual. Most of the BattleTech/MechWarrior games were always on PC until recently, and I never had a gaming PC. But the lore is still the same across both, and it was that that interested me more than the game itself. 

I prefer my anime mecha to the Western/Battletech depictions; I like the more fluid, agile movement and kinetic action. But that's not to say that I don't like Battletech as well, and there's certainly room - for me at least - to appreciate both.
