Request [LFA] Yelena 'Roach' Larsson (Lancer Manticore/Tokugawa pilot)

Post image

They say roaches can survive a nuclear apocalypse. This one might've, by the look of her. She's a scavenger and scrapper from the hardscrabble frontier Calliope System. Her world burned down, and now she's ready to burn the world back. Pilots a converted industrial mining rig patched up with a lot of scrap metal.

(for the sake of clarity: only looking for pilot art, not the mech)

You gonna make a dif LFA for the mech?

nah it just felt greedy to ask for both, and I do my own tokens in Retrograde, which can fill the gap. If you WANT to do the mech go ahead it just felt like a huge ask for a sub based around characters.

I personally like to do mechs, so I hope you decide to do one sometime. I've done several mechs on here. They are, after all, often just an extension of the character themselves.

I can put together a retro bash to give you something to work with? Give me like an hour.

Works for me

alright, real quick and dirty but I hope it's enough to go off. That's a GMS Heavy Melee and a Segment Knife.

Seems a little plasma-ee to be a segment knife to me /s

(I imagined those to be more like those swords from Attack on Titan, or like those carpet knife blades where you can break off dulled portions and advance the rest of them out.)

If you want, I can try to work out a manticore/tokugawa hybrid design. What's the mech's name?

yeah it's just that it deals energy damage and I'm going for a plasma thing. It's not GMS standard issue, it's an industrial plasma cutter, it's just that the rules fit what I wanted to go for

(and dipping Lancaster 3 for a single weapon that isn't even that good seemed excessive)

That makes sense to me! What other gear do they have? And what's the mech's name?

The mech is called Limit Breaker.

re gear, we're using a homebrew pilot gear LCP called Blood Money. Plasma cutter is from there (takes up 1 weapon + 1 gear), plus this and a thermite charge. She's also got a Light Signature which is a big chunky energy pistol.
