No lasers unless the purpose of your mech is for testing energy weapons. They aren't a thing yet. They may however be as part of a mid season upgrade after the tournament if we get there.

Should i take that as interest then? =)

Just going to bring up complaints as I come across them.

You say he has an understanding of MECH systems, but I am currently running with the official term being mechanical frame. You are welcome to convince me to change that though.

Him being a military man is a little odd in a world that hasn't know war for 40-80 years (I haven't quite decided exactly when then uninventively named "Last War" was) and the corps do not openly fight each other. Now that said he could still hold himself in a military demeanor, but unless he's going to have served in the Last War, in which case he'd be like 60 or 80 or something, then all of his combat would be against rebels and terrorists, probably all derived from the lower classes rising up and trying to use their mining mechs for combat. At least from my perspective that wouldn't change much about your backstory if you went with that. If you do just know that such rebellions are kept on the down low and John isn't allowed to talk about it.

Its a little short, but that's not an issue, but it sure does weigh a lot. Now I can be convinced that things should weigh more and yours can certainly weigh more than average if you'd like, but I was thinking something more like 10-12 tons would be average. I get that from vaguely extrapolating out what a knightmare frame from Code Geass would weigh if it was 20 ft tall. they're actually shorter than that to my surprise. So assuming you don't convince me it should weigh that much you should knock it down a bit.

For the record how powerful are you imagining the vulcans to be? That may or may not have any barring on John being accepted. Where is the grenade launcher? The left arm? What exactly is the back mounted system? you mention the armor and while its fine to be specific, I personally need to know if it is supposed to be more or less armored than "average," Which I realize hasn't been specifically defined and maybe I should try to do something about that. Its Monthian Reactor. With an n. I should probably go look over my own work to make sure I didn't fuck that up somewhere myself.

Some other things I want to know are. How mobile is this machine? and why is John Carter in the tournament? Then separately I need a paragraph write up about your corp so I can add it to my slowly growing list. You will be credited.
