  |

First off I would like to thank the numerous people who answered my ealier post about jumping physical attacks. I have been unable to get on because of work recently.
Now, I am going to be playing a campaign session with a friend of mine in about 2-3 weeks from now. I was instructed to make a merc unit for the early 3050's. Unit size lance to company, predominatly mechs but other assets are allowed. Now I asked my friend if I could try recruiting here instead of using the standard mercenary handbook creation tables. He agreed and will be checking this site with me a day before we play. And now for the question.
I would like to have any possible mechwarrior submittions with their mechs/equipment, backgrounds, fighting styles, etc. Regular expertise preferred but others are allowed as long as there are no elites. Any old forgotten characters will be gladly taken off their hands and the above also applies to potential aerospace, infantry, special forces, armor, battle armor, etc.
The unit will be called the "Redeemers." All I know so far is that our first contract is supposed to involve the chaos march. My friend told me to wait for my character creation until the unit has been put together so that I may make up some story for how we all got together. Any suggestions for this will also be appreciated.
Thanks a lot for all your help and I will try to keep up with the post this time as well as hopefully keep everyone within the unit alive.

I've got an old Mechwarrior 2nd Edition book. I can go through it and roll up some characters for you.
If you use the 3E, I'm sure there's a table for converting characters from previous editions, right?

Thanx for the help Warhammer. Thanx for their history and stats but I was hoping that you could tell me their personalities and their combat styles. Randall is a infantry/medic right? And Hohiro is an aerospace pilot I'm assuming. If true, I would like to know wut is Hohiro's preferred weight class and his style of fighting/tactics. Also if he already has a fighter. If so then wut kind? This forum is my random unit assignment table and so whatever your characters have, is wut my merc unit will be starting off with. Within reason anyway... as in no clan tech and realistickly i wouldn't have battle armor as well...  Thanx a bunch again Warhammer.

Master Sergeant Parson is an old infantryman, skilled in the arts of special operations and guerilla tactics (sort of like the Grey Death's Sergeant Ramage). He teaches the effectiveness of quick and vicious attacks, as well as emphasizing cross-training (so that most people in the squad can perform the functions of most others in the squad. Your radioman knows how to operate the Heavy Machine Gun effectively, the Medic is a skilled sniper, etc).
Captain Orikawa is a Dropship Captain. He has no particular fighting style, and he captains whatever dropship you would like your unit to have.

Unless a newer book has the rules for doing so in them, the old regime at FASA never put the conversion rules for MW2 characters into MW3 or as it's called now the CBT RPG. The reasons given were lack of space attributed to the page count and then other reasons came up of the former LD not liking MW2 RPG so he felt that all should start fresh with the new rule set and drop the old and there were several other reason given by fans and folks in the know as well.
Then a errata sheet came out with the missing rules and you could get via the old FASA site, I believe and I could be wrong here, it might still be up at CBT website. But given that we are stuck with MW3/CBT RPG system and that is only one supported you may not be able to find the conversion rules any longer.
So I guess the old LDs thinking holds true here, if you want to the use the current rule set for RPGing in the BT world you are stuck using the CBT RPG. Though it's your game so you could stick with the older versions and still be able to do what you want without any major issues.

Thanx for the info Warhammer. I'll gladly take those characters. One more question, does your dropship captain have a ship or no? Because the random equipment that I would normally get is now determined by what you volunteers possess. Thanx again.
Seraph, any edition would be find for the characters. I'll just redo the stats and stuff if my friend wants me too. But history and personailty is a must! Thanx a lot.

He does indeed. He captains whatever your mercenary unit needs. If you need a Leopard, he captains that. If you need an Union or a Condor, then he captains one of those.

| Warhammer, I so wish I could accept that answer, but my friend is telling me that u must specify the design he has without knowledge of wut units we will be transporting... I begged and pleaded but he says that alowing me to choose wut dropship I need is too much of an advantage. I am not even allowed to tell u what ship I would like. Please choose wut dropship u think would be of most use to use so that my friend can stop complaining, Thanx again.

PERSONALITY
Richard is an incessant talker. He loves to chat about work, his family, or almost anything else. Sometimes he can even be heard talking to his equipment while he works on it. He seems to enjoy cornering some of the more solitary people and talking their ears off about inane subjects.
QUIRKS
* Richard is well known for being a pack-rat. He collects seemingly useless junk and stores it in his room, in his workspace, or whatever other space he can usurp from its' intended function. Often he can make working items from the junk, although what uses they may have are debatable.
* As the youngest child of a group of nine, Richard spent his youth getting hand-me-downs and "whatever is left", from his siblings. Early on, he began to develop ways of scavenging and scrounging new clothes, better toys, and extra food from his family, friends, and people in the neighborhood. These skills have served him in good stead during his professional career.

PERSONALITY
Jules comes off to most as a loner, keeping to himself for most of the time he is at base. Those that know him well however, see his aloof attitude as a deliberate front, a shell to keep the men and women under his command from getting close and, he reasons, hurting him with their deaths.
All that the troops under his command know is that he is one of the most compassionate and skillful leaders they have ever served with.
QUIRKS
* The pressures of command weigh heavily on Jules' mind. He knows he is responsible for the lives of troops that most battlefield commanders feel are expendable, as long a the 'mech forces are able to survive. This can sometimes lead him to drastic, almost suicidal actions on the battlefield. For example: on two documented occasions, while retreating he has ordered The Grey Lady to come about, ordered the crew to abandon the vehicle, and has single-handedly fought back a pursuing force.

Tell your friend Captain Orikawa is in possession of an old Seeker.
Or mess with him and tell him it's a Lion that miraculously survived the Succession Wars.

Lt. Becky Denavan
38 years old
Body: 3
DEX: 7
LRN:5
CHA:4
Skills:
Gunnery/Mech-4
Piloting/Mech-3
Brawling-3
Bow/Blade-3
Tactics-2
Pistol-2
Leadership-2
Streetwise-1
Atheltics-1
Abilities:
Naturally Left-Handed.
Thick Skin.
Natural Aptitude: Brawling.
Mech: Modified Vindicator. Replace the LRM-5 with an SRM-4.
Becky has been placed in command of a Striker lance in Bridger's Brigade. She has been put in command of a company for her leadership abilities but lost the position de to her"problem".
Becky has suffered through an ammo explosion where her ejection seat was just a split second too slow. The incedent has left the right side of her body horribly scarred. She luckily required no replacement of limbs but twicee a year she has to go to a major hospital to get her skin stretched and treated. She is VERY sensitive about it and will fight with little provocation. Always a hot-head, she's a veritable volcano waiting to explode. Her Vindicator has been modified to suit her fighting style. The LRm's were replacecd with a QuadTech 4-pack. In mech combat she will tend to wade into the thick of it even against much larger opponents. She has no fear for her own life and regularly disables her ejection seat. She keeps a tight lid on her rage in battle using her tactical abilities to find a way to win.
Her superiors, recognizing her death wish have had the techs set her ejection seat to always primed. The toggle switch in the cockpit is a dummy switch. She has yet to realize this, but when she does there'll be hell to pay. In combat, if she takes a major hit and gets knocked down, she win proceed to destroy that opponent completely up to but not intentionally including crushing the cockpit. Rolls should be made when such a situation occurs to see if she goes on a rampage. When the opponent is destroyed she then will sit there 1 round to regain contrtol of herself.
There she is, have fun!
