[QUOTE="Drakknyte32, post: 1469245, member: 16580"] Yay! I'm in :D . Here's what I have in mind for a character. I tried to come up with something that will let me roleplay well despite my lack of knowledge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes extrordinary things happen to ordinary people. This was the case for Alexander Hill. Alex was a son of the Mayor in a small colony city. He was the second son and thus had no responsibilities. The city had very little of interest and Alex was too young to work so he spent much of his time bored and wandering around the countryside. On one of his wanderings he came across a hidden cave. When he explored the cave he found something that would change his life forever. The cave was actually a secret research and construction lab for mechs. It had long since been abandoned but there was still a lot of stuff to see, including an almost fully functional assault mech and the central computers records. Alex kept the lab a secret and began to visit it in all his spare time (and he had a lot). He spent hours upon hours reading the computer's records and from them he learned a lot about the construction and upkeep of various mechs. With the knowledge gained from the computer and hours of trial and error he managed to repair the mech and bring it back online. Alex continued to work on the mech and while he did he practiced with it. Between spending countless hours fiddling with the mech's controls and even longer playing the computers full-sensory training sims he learned how to be a mech pilot. That happened years ago and since then Alex has only continued his training and practice. Now he's a young adult and is ready to take his mech out into the world and become a famous warrior. He spent his life's fortune buying a ticket onto a dropship and headed out to space, dreaming of the wealth and glory that would soon be his. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There we go. The character is almost the exact opposite of most of your characters but that should just make things more interesting. He's young, naive, and optimistic. And he rides a big mech. I think I understand the character creation rules. I'm going to try and make my character in a minute with a C3 setup. Suggestions are always welcome of course. The mechs, on the other hand, I am completly lost at. All those numbers and words look like greek to me. If someone could give me a hand finding a good mech I would be greatful. I'm thinking an assault mech with good firepower and insane armor but not much else. If that is a bad combination for a new player than I'm open to other ideas. [/QUOTE]
