So true. Still going to work on a character sheet, though. :P

Don't worry, unless I get swamped with tons of sheets I should be able to accept everybody. However the maximum I'll willing to take is 12 since that's roughly the size of a large squad, so if we somehow manage to reach that number of applications... I guess I'll pick the best sheets and go from there.

...

Given that this is basically WWI with giant robots, I'm now curious as to how you thought that an organic eldritch mech would even vaguely fit into the setting. Also mechs are pre-made because I know you fuckers well enough that you'd complain about balance if they weren't. It's easier to nerf one weapon/mech than an entire game mechanic.

not every mech needs to be metal. Genetic experiments to create a mech from highly regenerative tissue, that is much more mobile and much more easy to handle through direct nerve connections. Oh well, dont mind me

Not sure that exactly fits with the backstory, though; we're talking about a society with 19th century technology with a few OOPAs and other anachronistic tech.  Highly advanced genegineering speculative even from our standards seems like it might be a wee bit beyond their capabilities. ^_^

I mean, unless the Cultured Ones are secretly led by Isaac Newton (obscure reference, yay). :P

Right, then.  With 12 slots, I don't feel I really need to hold back, so...pop. ^_^

Or are secretly using Evas.

Given how some characters vaguely know what goes on underneath the hood of these mechs, I think it'd be be hard to keep that a secret for long.

This gives me a few ideas...

Also the real reason I'm posting this is because I didn't complete the entry for the Transformation ability. It should be noted that you can only transform at the start of your turn, and not afterwards or inbetween moving and firing. It's only a minor change, but I wanted to make sure that's clear just in case. Especially since transformation will be featured on more mechs in the future.
