[@PandaBrady]Dropping an OOC post here to state my interest.

I've always been fond of playing rival characters in mecha-themed RPs, so maybe making an enemy pilot would be fun, like someone from Westeria. Not sure how much relevance I'd have, though - especially if nobody else joined for me to interact with.

The character concept I had would probably be some kind of test pilot for prototype Arcana frames as part of an experimental unit or something. Could make for a neat subplot of the main cast discovering a new unit being field tested and trying to lure it out and destroy it - kinda like early episodes of The 08th MS Team, if you're familiar with that show.

For the unit, could I ask to be allowed to design a prototype for a Type-18 "The Moon" magech? It might be based more on, say, a defensive controller type of role - using illusion magic for the equivalent of electronic warfare and sensors, testing new barrier technology, etc. Basically meant to isolate and blind opponents while giving intel to and protecting squadmates, maybe even amplifying their weaponry? Could also be designed to work in a team of three with more combat-focused partner frames designated as The Sun and The Star, if we wanted to get really ambitious with a whole "rival squad" type of setup. I dunno. Just spitballing at this point.

Anyway, what do you think?
