Self-appointed geek and Christian here... I'm for Davion all the way, even if Comstar was an option. Based on the people I drop with in my unit, I'm not the exception to the rule either..... :blink:

Profiling, while useful, can only get you so far. It's only a piece to the greater puzzle and generally not a smoking gun litmus test.

It was not pretending to be a thorough test...

Anyway, I chose Marik (and later a Marik-borne mercenary) not because I'm a rebel or skater, but because the FWL seems to be the less mainstream big faction in IS.

Zeus.

At the current time there are about 6-7 variants available. The Zeus carries numerous large weapons of all types.

The early Zeus models featured a Thunderbolt Laser (a Large Laser that takes only one critical) even after the weapon became lostech elsewhere.

The ZEU-6Y and 6T replaced the Thunderbolt Laser with a Binary Laser equipped with a 'Cooling Jacket' (Zeus Quirk) to suppress the extra heat.

ZEU-9's are the modern series fitted with DHS and CASE as stock elements.

I don't see any reason to why not add the Zeus right now when you have all those variants in the current timeline.

Wait, what!?! I am assuming that you mean the grandmother of both Katherine and Victor, but when did that happen.

I do have a Gordon Freeman style mustache+goatee, I favor heavy metal and classic music and I drink German bier.

You mean Katherine Steiner-Davion, right? Yes, she killed more Lyrans than the Kuritans ever managed to.

Ah yes that makes more sense. I always called Victor's sister Katherine (mostly because I liked Victor better). I also agree that she was brutal and by the murders of her mother, Morgan and his wife, and Omi proved that there was no limit to what she would do to gain anything that she wanted; so no surprise that her people suffered.

btw, Folk Metal FTW!

And honestly, I prefer American Microbrews to German Bier(though those can be good. Been known to enjoy Warsteiner Dunkel), though I can also be tempted with Abbey Ales, and of course Belhaven.

Methinks Bishop is going for the "Sir Patrick Stewart as Gandalf saying 'Use the Force, Harry.'" style of irony...
But, to what ends?! ^_^ :D

Whatever is, hunchies have lost many places in my ladder, as the quickdraws did. Unless they add one with some high-mounted ballistics xD
