You might be Lyran if you laugh at the idea of being promoted based on competence. Why earn rank when you can buy it?

You might be Capellan if you think Raven is a viable combat mech.

You might be Lyran if you think that a lance of D-DCs is a viable recon team.

You might be Lyran if you own an Atlas for every day of the year.

You might be Lyran if you have "Locust-throwing" competitions with the rest of the Atlai in your company.

You might be a former Lyran if despite having left you keep an XL400 "scout" atlas around.

You may be a Lyran defect working for Marik if everything you do is Awesome.

You might be a Lyran if you give away mechbays to your enemies.

Thanks, by the way.

I left a return present in one of your shoes. Have fun figuring out which one it is.

You might be a Lyran if you play iPhone games while you schlep towards the front line.

...if you groan dejectedly when your team decides to "maneuver" into a new position and the front line moves 500m away.

...if you would be willing to install Jump Jets on your 'Mechs if they could be angled laterally and used as propulsion.

...if the only thing you fear more than death is an audit.

...if you refer to NumPad 5 on your keyboard as the "Deadly Trundle" setting.

...if you do not pilot Assault 'Mechs, you pilot Mobile Oppression Palaces.

...if you know that Prussian Blue is the only acceptable shade of blue to use when painting Lyran equipment, and get unreasonably upset when people don't know this.

...if you listen to Wagner in the cockpit. Bayreuth Festival. 1956. Joseph Greindl as Hagen. Pure class.

...if you're upset that a citizen of the Federated Suns thought of putting a Long Tom gun on an Assault 'Mech before a true nobleman from Lyran space did.

...if you re-enact scenes from your favorite ancient Terran action films with your fellow pilots.

Niko says, " We didn't include the Atlas, because it would have turned into "Steiner Scout Mech" Challenge." :)

You might be a Lyran if you consider an AC/20 as your sniper rifle.


You might be a Lyran if you shut down after the first AC/20 round fired because who needs heatsinks when you can have more ammo!

You might be a Lyran if you flank the enemy at a stately 53 kph.

You might be a Lyran when you're asked to list all of the battlemechs you know and you come up with:

"Atlas...Banshee...Battlemaster...Awesome.....there aren't any others....Oh! But we make a awesome little personal armored guard suit called the Commando!"

You find it not worth your time to pick up a 100 C-Bill note you see as you walk down the street. (Or, you secretly pitch 100 C-Bill notes on the ground in a line just to laugh at the members of other Houses that stoop to pick them up) :)

You might be a Lyran if your 95-ton, house-built Omnimech has a cigar.
