Name: Samuel Augustus Renard
Call Sign: Partisan
Age: 51
Specialty: Armoured Company XO.
Description or Photograph: http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/a ... 32-000.jpg
Biographical Information: Renard and his troops traded hands several times during the clan wars- seeing action as both a Lyran Armoured Company, and as Bondsmen with Clan Jade Falcon against their former comrades as the Lyrans lost ground. Extremely experienced in conservative warfare, and advanced tactics- Renard finds himself at home commanding his troops on almost any battlefield- but truly excels in an urban setting. Following the end of the Clan Wars, however, the entire division was scrapped in favour of a more trustworthy unit- leaving the troops and tankists without a unit, and away from the combat they had grown to love. It wasn't long before they grouped up with the former Lyran 'MechWarrior Sahreah Callahan. Fanatically loyal to the 'MechWarrior they have come to respect, the unit has operated in conjunction with their CO, Callahan, for well over ten years within the Wolf's Dragoons. Recently, however, they have moved on along with her to find placement with another, smaller mercenary unit within which they could play a larger role.

And that's why battle armour + tanks + mechs is better than just mechs. Clan Hell's Horses has the right idea.

Saxons aren't designed to carry 1.5 ton battle armour. I can't fit his Phalanx star into them without cutting one in half, and then having a bunch of wasted space left over.

Name:Brian Arkton
Call Sign:Moros
Age:42
Specialty:Mech Warrior
Description or Photograph:5 feet 11 inches, slightly tanned skin from sun expsoure. A nicely trimmed goatee and blue/gray eyes with graying hair. Broad shoulders and somewhat muscular though more on the lean side.
Biographical Information:Brian Arkton was born to a family that had abandoned him. He grew up on the harsh streets before finally being given shelter by a mercenary. By the age of 16, he had learned about battlemechs but never had any physical experience with them until the mercenary retired and began to train Brian full-time. He had become adjusted to using a battlemech by 18 and by 21 was able to purchase his first battlemech after using the mercenary's to finish some odd-jobs. Brian served as a free-lance mercenary, not well-known to a large populace but locally recognized. This all changed at the start of the FedCom civil war, where he fought in some major battles and earned enough to purchase a brand new battlemech after the loss of his first one by the end of the war.
Do you own your own vehicle? If so what kind?Crusader Battlemech
Personal Equipment:Nickel-Plated 20mm Carbine w/APDS rounds.
OOC: What experience do you have with Battletech?Zip,Zero,Nada(though i read some of the wikia, if that counts)


Finished.

Can fit 2 in one 3 in the other, and keep 2 Longinus armors?

We got time to figure out the support units and characters since Outreach is all about recruiting and testing Mechwarriors.

I'd rather not have Phalanx BA cluttering up my Saxons' troop bays. It's too bulky to be effective line support. Longinus BA is far superior for the purpose they need to serve.

Edited post far above to show the XO of the tank 1/2 company.

Name: Damion Lillard
Call Sign: Alpha
Age: 25
Specialty: Conventional Infantry, infiltration
Description or Photograph: http://www.infectiousdarkness.com/battl ... age002.jpg
Biographical Information: Damion was born on an agricultural world that fed thousands on other planets. From an early age, he was a hunter, both at long range with a rifle, and up close with a shotgun and bowie knife. He always dreamed of being a soldier, traveling the stars. When war hit his planet, he jumped onto the nearest mercenary group, which happened to be the Guns Special Squadrons. He worked his way up the ladder faster than anyone before him, and took the lead of his own infantry group, the Ground Gun Wolves. He bought all of his weapons from his Black Market contact off world, and is a middleman to the majority of Guns Special Squadrons.
Do you own your own vehicle? If so what kind? He "owns" his own infantry group. Built the following way.

Motive type: Foot, however they have their own APCs with enough room for all.
Formations: 7 per squad, 4 squad in the platoon, 27 soldiers overall
Type: Standard
Armament: 4 soldiers with light machine guns, 21 soldiers with Gauss Rifles (Thunerstroke II), all with non-inferno grenades.

They are infiltrators, and commonly exchange their Gauss rifles for shotguns and submachine guns.

Personal Equipment: Laser Rifle (Mauser IIC), Avenger CCW shotgun, grenades, auto pistol
OOC: What experience do you have with Battletech? See other profiles

Well an Avatar weighs 70 Tons would be the discrepancy. You're about 154,253.58 pounds short.

No reason to feel bad either, I keep spelling word as world and google chrome doesn't pick it up because it's still a word. :palm:
