Battletech: Character Creation

...Axman it is

The woes of RNG...

Thunderbolt is one of my favorite IS Heavies, too.

Axman for now butwe will get you something you like more once we get rolling. I had to help my brother fix his motorcycle today so I didnt get to post but it is coming soon.

Its fine. Oh also just so everyone knows if I havnt mentioned it. I don't really know much about this universe. I am super interested, and am stoked to play. But no clue what most of the names and stuff specifically mean. Sorry if I'm a bit out of the loop during the game.

All cool, Nik. If you have questions, feel free to ask us. I love to talk endlessly about the subject, as mrvain well knows

I thought about it and decided that I would rather have you enjoy the character and so decided to ignore the random result for your mech and give you a Thunderbolt 9-SE. Put the Thunderbolt on the character sheet and submit the character sheet to the game.

@mrvain please submit your character sheet as well.

Should we jump in with our characters whenever? Or is this a Leslie intro?

Jump in whenever, it is a group intro, obviously assume everything posted thus far already happened. You can post what happened beforehand, but when you get to Leslie and Bardon assume you come in after our last posts

Anyone know a good place for character pictures for this kind of game? I had one of your typical 'pretty boy' type, but the face was so smug in that "attractive and I know it" way that I couldn't bear to play it, even if that fits. The picture I just posted with fits the personality more, but I wouldn't classify it as being worthy of the "Attractive" quality, and it might not really fit Roman's age. I'll keep searching nonetheless, but I'm willing to take suggestions for where to look. Pinterest, thus far, has failed me.

Generally I just google image. Scifi pilot, hotshot pilot, etc. The portrait I used for Captain Bardon game from MeoHq which is the software I am using to track the campaign. My portrait for the Only Ones game was a google image for Russian Female Survivor.

Normally finding a picture is the last thing I'd ever have a problem with. I'm probably being too picky with this one. Thank you, though. I'll keep up the search!

Well done everyone! I like everyone's character intros a lot.

D'oh, forgot that I mentioned Solaris in my post and forgot to change it after I heard the proper name. Haha, wooops.

Also, is there any difference between the Combat Neurohelm and a plain Neurohelm?

Combat helm has a smaller perception penalty and can be sealed to provice breathable air. Needs a full combat suit for that so right now the benefit is the better perception. It also provides slightly more protection

Got it! Thanks!

I actually liked the other one better.

I liked the other one for the personality, but I couldn't see that person charming anyone with his looks.
