I'd go with a Shadow Hawk. It's a decent mix of speed, armor, jump jets, and has one or two weapons for every range. It's not the sort of thing that'll make your enemy crap their pants when they see it (unless they're infantry), but it can do whatever you need it to do reasonably well. If you want the same concept on a beefier frame, there's also the Grasshopper, but it's much less common.

@AndyC

Also, I'm taking a Grasshopper. Is it also all right for me to give you my Discord name and number in PMs?

They're all on the table. Though "Heir to a Throne" would be the heir to a Periphery world or a corporation, rather than the heir to a Great House or the like.

@AndyC

How old should a 'Plucky Kid' be?

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

@AndyC, Sorry for the double-post, but are there any forbidden 'High Concepts', such as 'Unhinged Lunatic' or 'Heir to a Throne'?

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

@wikkit, Hmm... Which of the linked Mechs is a 'Jack of All Trades'?

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

@AndyC, what would be an average Mech?

This RP ain't dead, just slow!

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

Will this RP have a Discord Server?

Battletech's not as over-the-top grimdark as something like 40k, but depending on the era, things can get pretty messy. During the time period this game is set, the late Succession Wars, overt warcrimes like WMDs or direct attacks on civilians are pretty rare and a major scandal when they happen. That said, collateral damage does happen. Think along the tone of most Gundam series set in the One Year War timeline; generally Battletech rarely goes beyond PG-13, with the truly nasty stuff only implied rather than shown directly.

As for the most morally bright faction, that really depends on who you ask. In a lot of the earlier novels, The Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth (House Davion and House Steiner) were generally considered the 'good guy' factions, but later novels sort of rounded everyone out. I'd honestly say the closest thing to a full-on Lawful Good faction in the Inner Sphere are the Eridani Light Horse or the Kell Hounds.

@AndyC

I might make a Pro-Federated Suns person, then.

A Distant Fairy Tail

@Vergil, Are Canon Characters from other universes allowed?

Alternatively, I can make a Male!Erza...

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

How grim is the RP supposed to be and what is the 'morally brightest' faction?
