G'day Battletech community!
I became a late backer to the Battletech Kickstarter, and decided to go with a named character and concept art (I'm also actively seeking an artist to draw a sketch for me to pass off to them as a photo reference, I've got an idea in my head for how to present it, lol.)
So, I've got a 15 word quote to work with to best describe who this "person" is going to be. I don't have control over who, or what the folks at Catalyst decide, I'm just seeing if I can steer it in a certain direction. According to their list, I get to get a preference for the rank, mech, and rank this character would possess.
I've got the name down, which will be:
Adam Akimov
For the house, I'm reasonably sure I'm going to choose the FWL.
For the mech, probably something like a VTR, even if that's a tad bit uncommon.
But here is the kicker. For the rank, I'm thinking of either lieutenant-colonel, or colonel, in order to try and edge this towards being an openly nefarious character. I suspect a lot of people (understandably) are going to do self-inserts, I myself, if I opt to upgrade in a few weeks, might even include myself, but if I only do one character, I want to input someone whose a total and complete bastard. Because why not shake things up?
So, in 15 words, who wants to help me paint someone as a war criminal?
So far, I've got this:
"Unfortunately, my reputation precedes me. Exaggerated claims, nothing more. I am a /gentlemen/, I assure you."
"War Criminal? Is that the term they're calling me? How slanderous. Winning is not a crime."
Any and all input for helping forge an arrogant monster, will be greatly appreciated, lol
