why am I expecting aliens... also, I hope I am playing the sheltered, rather naive guy decently so far. I can't really tell...

[pinsndneedles]

You are, it's hillarious.

Take care GAD, hope things are quick and smooth.

[dal10]

but still... why am i expecting aliens...

[pinsndneedles]

Because you crazy!

[dal10]

well it is either aliens or autonomous fighting units.

[pinsndneedles]

Or ComStar

[dal10]

Janus doesn't like Comstar, They keep trying to holy shroud the Junkers. The Junkers never lost the know-how to build all the LosTech, at least the non-military stuff. cause that stuff was secret. They just don't have the production facilities to make all the stuff.

edit: also not sure if the Xetherius is supposed to be in RP or just randomly made a character and jumped in... cause his appearance was KINDA random...

Edit2: Hi Grimm

edit3: also, 8 feet tall would make you tied for the 17th tallest normal person in the history of the earth so far. Only people in BT who are occasionally that tall in BT univers are elementals. also, the lynx's stock form in non-existent at this point and time, and for all intents and purposes the design is gone from the Inner Sphere. also, Janus has traveled farther than you, but that is me just being petty.

I think he just jumped in randomly, GAD should be able to fix it when he gets back if things need fixing.

Also I don't understand Edit 2, or rather, I'm going to refuse to understand it if it's what I think it is and just call you silly.

[dal10]

I intentionally made your name have 2 ms

also, that was an incredibly op character.

[pinsndneedles]

I thought so. As promised: you're silly.

I agree though, seems a might OP.

[dal10]

especially considering the lostech mech... also Elemental sized... seriously...

[pinsndneedles]

Should we resolve to just pretend it's not there or is that too mean?

[dal10]

I would agree to pretending that he is not there

but do you agree that we should ignore him until GAD III gets back?

[Thom Frankfurt]

I'd say yes, we (or atleast I) never saw him post anything in this tread, or any mention from GAD about this guy. My dude is gonna stay being quiet and ignoring everyone (and especially him) for the most part.

[Oni Storm]

I'll see about shooting GAD an email and if per chance he does respond and asks I'll co-GM to interview the guy. As for the two 'Mechs and his height those I find suspect and doubt GAD would have agreed to. On a personel note I'd make him lose a foot and half, give or take, honestly 6'6" is really almost too big for a 'Mech Pilot, which is why the Clans later have Elemental, Aerospace and 'Mech Pilot Vat brats for a reason.
Then I'd have him choose one of the 'Mechs and only one. Personally I can see a Lynx it be almost exactly a hundred years old and the 8Q variant http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Lynx, but that is doable. Just my personal thought and in no way reflect the owner of this Thread and Story

Being 8 foot tall doesn't necessarily make him OP, if he's suffering from giantism, he can't even lift his own weight and the cockpit is gonna be very cramped for him.

Thing is GAD's in the middle of a move right now, so his interwebs are likely down.

[RogueSpear]

Name: Aemon Crane
Callsign: Gun Train
Date of Birth/Age: 26/7/2980, 45 years old
Current Mech: Custom Shootist ST-8A (Stats below)
Military History: Has served with Nelson for nearly twenty years using his family Shootist, which has undergone extensive modifications since entering his service. Previously trained as a mechwarrior by his father, he had never seen combat before Nelson convinced him to follow him. He now leads Oscar's 1st Fitzroy Guard. It currently numbers one warrior.
Physical Description: Topping 7 feet in height (You see why I made the giantism comment), his extreme height is a result of Acomegaly. His brow and jaw are notably pronounced, with his curly brown hair spilling down into long sideburns. His wide girth necessitates an expanded cockpit, the acquiring of which being the reason for his joining Nelson's service.
Open Background: Actually and legitimately of noble birth, Aemon is from the Noble House Crane on Scudder. During his teenage years, his condition was revealed when he simply would not stop growing. Eventually, he would be disowned by his father, only to be called back to the family home to be acknowledged at his father's deathbed. Soon after he met Nelson and has served with him ever since. His being offworld at the time of the minor rebellion that resulted in Gunther Kensington-Fitzroy's execution is the only thing he didn't fall in with the traitor Baron, so he was more than happy to fall in with Oscar.
Deep Background: Exceptionally loyal and easy to dupe, Aemon would never say it, but he simply doesn't want to be alone again. He doesn't always (or even often) fully believe Nelson, but he'd rather pretend than be dismissed.
