Ascalon is largely a French [likely Newvoellian, a large ethnic group that identify as French] colony. Having a Polish surname is totally fine, just be aware that he's either one of the smaller groups on a largely rural French Dominated planet or possibly assimilated himself.

Otherwise he seems mostly fine. Approved.

He should be introduced shortly once affairs are in order. I'm hoping to get things moving faster so hopefully sooner rather than later.

Yeah I was wondering about the fluff concerning Ascalon. Considering that his father was retired I could just say he immigrated there, but I'll probably have to ask Lockon a bit more about Ascalon. If he's still around that is.

I may also come to the discussion thread with some questions, you know, being a newbie and all.

First question, I'll start here. Will your narration introduce me, or will I have to introduce myself?

Lockon's Centauri DM in the main game. He's officially dropped Gaiden, but he's not dropping Mythril Aces as a whole.

His character is still around for the time being, but he's fairly set about not joining.

All I can say is that the two named characters from there are Jeanne and Jacques Descartes and it's named for a city in Israel and a major site for battles in the Crusades.

Definitely feel free to ask questions. PM me stuff if you'd prefer but either way works.

Right now, I'd recommend laying low. There's a minor skirmish where the P Cs are on guard duty trading bullets with a scouting group. If you want now or soon, you can write a intro as to what you're doing in the now evacuated town with the Centauri forces.

There's a chance you're a new joiner into Shang's divisions and transfered in with some new pilots where you'll deal with whatever original PC is still around and posting. Or alternatively you'll be put in with the full squad of Active P Cs, but then you're stuck waiting until after guard duty is played out. The first has a bit more merit for the poor guys who were abandoned by the rest of their squad [save Dark who I'm confindent in, I'm not sure who's actually sticking around] but I don't know if he'd really mesh with any of them so the second squad seems better for him.

If you really want to, I'm more than happy to have him chat with an NPC who'll give him the run down on what's happening for now without specifying where exactly he's been transfered. I'll lay out what he should know in discussion.

Pilot Name: Ellen "Elly" Daugherty
Callsign/Title: Strawberry Reaper
Side: Centauri
Gender: It's a dude named Ellen
Age: 20
Appearance: Ellen is 5'4", with dark hair and glasses. With the exception of a scar on her thumb, gained from cutting strawberries with a paring knife, her skin is fairly unblemished, thanks to a fairly comfortable life. Tends to have a blank and/or quizzical look most of the time.
Personality: Firm in conviction, impressionable by nature, and rigid in rules. Ellen tends to be kindhearted and withdrawn off-duty, as well as an avid bibliophile. When on the clock, she does her best to follow orders and rules to the letter, putting honor before reason unless doing so would be explicitly suicidal. A stickler for cleanliness and self-discipline, she follows her own set of standards, oftentimes blindly.
Backstory or other information:' The oldest of three children by a margin of four years, Ellen grew up on Cerulon with her strawberry farming parents *

, handling the business and bookkeeping matters when she was old enough, while never working in the fields that she so meticulously recorded. She lived a comfortable life, though not a pampered one. The daughter of a military man, she grew up with a strong sense of self-discipline and proper conduct, passing this on to her younger siblings in true big sister fashion. Due to her life around water, she loves nothing more than swimming, with the possible exception of strawberries. As soon as she was able, she enlisted in the military for the sake of familial pride, taking her callsign from the food that she obsessively consumes.
Frame Model: Spitfire' - "Ananassa Apocalypse"
* Armaments:\\ - Pistol
- x2 Beam Sabres
* Appearance: Olive green, standard appearance.
* Size: 16.25m
* Upgrades/Customization: The pistol emits a lovely strawberry fragrance, and glows bright pink. Oh, and it also has the slight side effect of being more intense but less accurate, resulting in greater close range damage but less accurate firing.

Eventually Never Dies.

Alright. I like her. A Cent foil to Kara but more nerdy and less COUNTRY COUNTRY PATRIOTISM.

Strawberries work for Cerulon considering they were originally grown in a fairly coastal area. Here's the page if you haven't read it already; http://mythrilaces.wikia.com/wiki/Cerulon

My only worry would be the Frame. The Cents presently have 2 Snipers and a ranged Tank. The last battle showed that they have serious issues attacking anyone with cover. I'd recommend you try a frame better designed to skirt around and flank.

They also have very few melee frames which seems... unlike them...

Understood, understood. An up-close-and-personal frame.

She shall serve her COUNTRY COUNTRY PATRIOTISM on the front lines. Give me time to adjust.

I said less, not none. Less Country Country PATRIOTISM! than Kara still leaves plenty of room for fanaticism.

No, then you have Kiera somewhere beneath Kara, but below everyone else.

And then Phil probably.

And then Calvin's probably rock bottom.

What? No! Calvin is probably the most patriotic!

The issue is that he is not particularly nationalistic. If the Cents suddenly had 8 women to the man, Calvin would be gone before the ink dried on his resignation.

Any country with women is a country worth defending.

PM'd you. I'll take her but I think it would be better for the group to have anything but a sniper.

The Cents have like 5 of them now. Essentially, anyone in cover can hold forever and a quick witted Ace with a little luck and a Shovel could murder every last one of you.

The W-M is a Wrist Dagger. I'd recommend changing Model to something like the Clarence, Spitfire/Spiteful or Stalker.

  • Frame Model: Spitfire - "Eventuality" [If you don't call it that, it's my personal nickname]
  • Armaments:
  • Pistol: Arcon WR-03 Plasma Pistol: 0,0,5,10,20,35
  • Arcon WS-04 Light Plasma Blade-Melee [x2]: 0,5,10,15,25,35
    • Note: Only one can be used per action.
  • Projection Drone: Projects Additional Frame. Roll of 2 or less reveals it as a fake. Must be Redeployed each turn.

Last notes; With the return of Dark you can be transferred to his Squad, and thus be a Sniper again [or else keep this] or keep this design and be put into Prussia Company. Also, I missed the strawberry scented thing; It'd rather keep it Real Robot, so I think it'd be wiser not to do that. Also, I have little means on balancing close range to balance, I'll see if I can think of something but for now this should do.
