Battletech: Official OOC/Signup Thread

He did post them, right in the end. That's why I tried to match his speed.

Dammit man!

Also, come to think of it, why is everyone going east? Alpha's in the lower right of the map, east only leads to the edge and certain death

I honestly didnt know that each round was a fixed amount of time.

That being said... maybe the time per round depends on how action intensive it is?

Let's say 30 seconds solid for now, with the option to "flex" anywhere down to ten and up to 45 seconds depending on the number of actions and statuses involved in a round.

As in the typical military grid numbers or hex numbers?

I can keep track of those myself, I think the whole turn/range thing will be enough for most players. If there's clarification needed then one could whip out the hex numbers for such an event.

Just in case you ask why I haven't RP'd: Waiting on the rest of the lance. I've already tried moving and it ended in a reprieve from command.

The greatest threat the universe has ever seen are the Clans?

Character
Name:

Valeriy "Val" Lubanov

Birth name: 
Väinämöinen Seppo Laukkanen

Call Sign:

Barsuk

Age:

50

Place of Birth:

Haleswen

Physical Description or Photograph:

Valeriy is 5'10" tall, 186 lbs with brown hair and eyes.

Personality Overview/Traits:

Valeriy tends to be rather impertuous and rebellious towards what he perceives to be autocratic attitudes.

Biographical Information:

Having grown up in the hinterlands of Haleswen, he not only received a formal education, but also a hands-on one as well... Learning to hunt and stalk, first with a bow and then with risles of various calibers. In the process learning how to live off the land and to make do with what you have, rather than either relying on fancy gear or wasting time on wishing for what you cannot get.
A number of Val's family members fought against House Kurita prior to the Draconis Combine's successful Invasion in 3030, and indeed both his father and uncle attended the meeting with the Lyrans on Tamara in 3029.
Val is a nomad because he has no home to go back to, As an 17 year old in 3034 he was caught up in the fervor and excitment of being one of the first citizens of a new nation: The Free Rasalhague Republic.
He was so excited he ran off to enlist and eventually became one of the first mechwarriors of the KungsArme. The Clan Ghost Bear invasion taking place whilst he was still in training resulted in his training being accelerated and being put into service early. He rose steadily but inexorably through the ranks until he achieved the highest possible station as an enlisted man, and had not only served on the front lines but also bolstered garrison units, taught at academies, tasked with supporting MIMIR black ops, and various other duties that befit his skill set.

However it's the Clan Invasion that would be his downfall, and although he fought bravely his comrades young and old died in droves while he somehow managed to survive.

In 3052 he was prepared to switch from conventional operations and begin a guerrilla-style war of attrition against Clan Ghost Bear in an effort to bog them down until help could arrive, but ultimately that plan was scrapped. Doing the unthinkable Val abandoned his position rather than live in the rump of the FRR as Comstar refugees, he took his skills on the road so to speak. Since then he's been living and working under one or more pseudonyms since then being a kind of nomadic gun-for-hire.

Well we've been working on that character thing for a bit Dya so the character looks good ... well mostly, is Valeriy Lubanov your characters actual name or the pseudonym.

As far as the mech... that could fly provided you sourced everything... buuut I have yet another alternate for you if you're interested

Bad ovi. Bad bad ovi. No Canopian hookers for you.

I like it I like it... hmm since he's formerly a Rasalhagean noncom maybe his actual name is more Finnish? T'would be fitting, a former Finnish sniper holding on to the last against the big bad Bears...
