Looking for NPC names and descriptions

LOL - Well hell.... :-\

Thought this might be a fun idea for the hell of it, but looks like it's a bust instead. :-[

The main thing is the parameters you gave are very constrained.  Compare to Takiro's Sohei thread.

Not sure HOW they're constrained.

NOT asking for detailed stats or anything, just a name and some clever fluff...

I have just a few questions : when are you playing? where will your unit start?
In turn they tested each Clan namesake
In trial against the ice hellion's mettle.
Each chased the ice hellion, hunting it down.
All faild to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said. "And that is how we shall be."

Soon, but there's no real deadline.

I just kind of like to use fun fluff for any NPCs when I run a company, and usual make up my own. This time I thought I'd open the option here if anyone was interested in taking a shot, for the fun of it.

Being a merc unit, pilots can be from anywhere, with any kind of background, AND it's first come-first serve in choosing the available mechs.  ;)

I meant what is the timeline you will play in.  :D

Oooops  ;)


The timeline is a little after 3075, as an independent merc unit along the clan front in Steiner space.

With names like that I would suggest: Ilia Volyova, Ana Khouri, Antoinette Bax, Remontoire, Skade, Felka, Scorpio

Perhaps name their JumpShip Nostalgia for Infinity and their DropShip Storm Bird
