2. NEVER turn down payment.
3. Always ensure your employer actually HAS enough money sitting in his bank to pay you.
4. Whenever possible, get paid up front.
5. Aggressive negotiations are key to a mercenary’s livelihood. If the employer is thinking of hiring your fellow mercenaries instead of you, kill the competition and charge extra.
6. There is no such thing as “friendly” fire. If anyone fires at you, kill them.
7. Stay in the mindset that Plan A will always fail and have backups available.
8. Stay mobile. Only dead men don’t move.
9. Always carry a knife with you.
10. Duct tape is a lifesaver. For both your Mech AND you!
11. Ammo is a precious commodity. Don’t waste it with terrible accuracy!
12. Think of the children, it’s funnier that way.
13. If life gives you lemons, shoot out life’s kneecaps and demand better payment.
14. “Fall down seven times, get up eight” -Japanese Proverb
15. Eat a well balanced diet and stay hydrated. It’s embarrassing to die from malnourishment and dehydration.
16. NEVER take a job against someone called “The Chosen One”. This typically ends bad for mercenaries in all accounts.
17. Violence is ALWAYS the answer. Sometimes the violence is just verbal.
18. Never let yourself die for another’s cause. It’s your life, not their’s.
19. If you have to die, at least be a man about it and take down as many with you as possible, failing that, simply flip off the ******* who is killing you in a final act of defiance.
20. Failure is ALWAYS an option, so long as you were paid up front.
This is just the first 20 rules i've come up with.
