I am interested in participating, but am wholly uninterested in starting out as a member of the Preying Panthers.

I'll wait until the OOC is up before elaborating too much, but with the current information I'd say I'll probably be more interested in Cradle Dynamics and the Prep/Afterparty periods of the RP. I may play as one of the shops, as a matter of fact. I still intend to get in on the mech combat of course, but at first that will probably just be in a supporting role.
