Since I do not have my own computer at the moment, I cannot use Mechworks until the 3rd, so I will have to use the standard variants for the next two days. If I can use all 75 tons, the Mad Cat is my preference, but as I recall there was a limit on the maximum size of any given Mech, so the Linebacker may be a necessary alternate. Once I can use Mechworks, I will likely be focusing on Gauss rifles and PPCs, as precise, powerful weapons with the range to take advantage of any situation.

Nice character Paxus.
You've really captured what I was originally trying (unsuccessfully) to do with do with Tarnish. But without knowing so much (anything) about the clans I found the concept just getting all bent out of shape.
Which remeinds me that I need to get the "reformed" version up.

Tarnish was born to be a mechwarrior. To him it is that simple. He understands that there is the possibility of failure, but he refuses to consider it. He only will if he must.
Tarnish is of average hight, but jaggedly thin, a stark construct of muscle and bone, all flat planes and bony petrusions. His hair is dreadlocked, heavily matted cords tied back with a ragged piece of cloth. Dark tattoos snake their way up each of his arms from the wrists to the shoulder. His clothes, an ongoing sourse of irritation for some, include a chaotic collection of scrounged items - talismans he calls them. A pair of battered ground crew cargo pants or an old infantry utility jacket would not be unusual.
Tarnish is not the big noise that some of his sibkin are. But beneath the quite exterior burns a ferociously competetive spirit. Tarnish believes in the Clan way, but not blindly. There is no honour in following something without understanding, without thought or consideration. He holds his own counsel and walks the path he belives to be true. He listens to those who disagree with him, nodding occasionally, but saying little. But he does not diviate from what he believes to be right, even if others disagree, until a trial is called. Some trials he has won, some he has lost. But he has fought enough to start becoming dangerous in a fight, despite his size.
Notes: Basically I've rewritten him to remove some of the discordant elements and bring him more in line with the conventional mechwarrior. Perhaps, for a Clan Wolf warrior, he is fairly conventional - in something I read about the Clan Wolf it used the ideals "Think. Prepare. Attack." Think.
The stats are as posted before - his interest in clan history extends to that of the other clans as well, to the extent that that information is available.

Nice PC, Paxus!
IC:
"Some points, though, Reuben:
By mocking the Trial system as instituted by Nicholas Kerensky himself you are endangering the survival of your genes. Who would like someone like this to contribute to future generations of warriors? Surely not even Bloodhouse Carson has sunk this low. Did you never think of the fact that your own dishonour affacts your whole bloodline?
...
I hope that you are aware of the nature of the revered Remembrance, quiaff? It is not exactly a totally accurate account of our past, besides it presents only one point of view. Of course it is that of the Wolves and therefore the most important of all, but still ... Youz will encounter differing acounts of the past throughout the Kersenky Cluster."
[OoC: Knowledge of each remembrance is a separate skill. Basic knowledge of the Wolf Clan Remembrance is assumed, though certainly not a full memorization (which is represented by a high skill level). ]

You were here first, so I couldn't insist on getting my Mad Cat even if it was that important to me. Enjoy your Cauldron-Born. It'll keep our weights closer to even, which is important as far as I've seen.
Duoane said:
It is not I who mock the Trial system. When a thing is truly necessary, one devotes all forces to accomplish it. Those who would risk the future of the Clan by giving less than is needful, out of tradition or out of fear of loss, are the ones endangering their future. Rest assured that I will not so dishonor your name; you may get yourself killed over a pointless grievance if you wish. I will, however, remind you that wisdom knows as much in knowing when not to fight, as it does in how to fight.
