[@vietmyke] Hyello. I'm one of the friends that Stitches mentioned. I'm currently in the immediate run up to my exam week so I'm working on a character sheet in my breaks from study and I'm not [i]100%[/i] on when it'll be done. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I exist, and also ask if there's anything you'd prefer we stay away from in terms of player worldbuilding; I'm hoping for my character to be a fairly veteran member of the 101st who was raised in an area of colonial space that I'd be interested in worldbuilding myself.

The broad idea is that his homeworld is a dangerous, highly rural place, where most of the urban centers are concentrated around resource extraction operations and associated natural deposits or facilities. He was raised out in the boonies as part of the sort of farmer-hunter countryside community, who developed and used a sort of powered exoskeleton along with high powered anti-tank style rifles to track and hunt local megafauna, both for threat control and consumption. These same people were then recruited for conflicts in the run up to the eventual Empire-Coalition war(s), serving in their exosuits in infantry roles before the day of the MAS. My guy in particular is a bit younger than some of the people who taught him this way of life, and subsequently served the UEE directly in a special recon sort of role - first in the exoskeleton, then in a superlight MAS, then eventually as a regular MAS pilot in either a light or medium MAS - before being selected for the 101st. I just wanna check if you're cool for me to write a bit about the culture and world he comes from.
