"My take is that you can stop focusing on your issues if you empty enough ships."

My character BULLHEAD, and her IPS-N Caliban, the BAD TAKE.

Do you think putting Atlas parts on the Caliban would be in any way viable, or is it just random weebery?

Oh no, dude, it's super viable. Set up your Atlaban right and it has absurd manoeuvrability.

I call this build "Doomguy Samurai."

With the correct terrain, you can move across half of the battlefield in a single turn and smack someone in the face with your sword, which has innate Knockback regardless of stance due to Supermassive Mod. If you're going to do this, you might as well turn off the safety limiters to make it Knockback 2 and stay in Troll Stance the entire time, since Inaccurate is a binary state and only applies once no matter how many sources a weapon has it from. The Accuracy from Duelist negates the Difficulty anyway.

With Evasion 12, 2 Armor and 20 HP, this mech is pretty tanky. NPCs whose attacks have innate difficulty will struggle to hit this mech, and NPCs with low-damage weapons will struggle to hurt it.

The Caliban is very, very sick.

Tuxedo Blowing In The Wind, a Caliban frame I commissioned from ShadeFish! If you get what the name’s a reference to I’ll give you a cookie.

Ahoy! It is time for a somewhat more on-schedule episode of Vex's Mechs and Memes. I have taken all but one other of @vexwerewolf's very excellent memes about the mechs of Lancer and voiced them like I'm Dave's Spokesman from LoadingReadyRun.

For what I believe is #27 out of 28 (at time of writing), I am going to present the one that probably served as the prologue for a level in Viscera Cleanup Detail. The Caliban!

I hope you enjoy! Also, three things of note: 1. I might not be able to get an episode in next week 2. The next episode will not be the last 3. You have the power to determine what the next episode will be through this poll

mechverse?? do you have mech pilot ocs? may i hear about them?

yes! mechverse / comatose machine is a verse centered around mech pilots set on another planet. the planet is incredibly large, far larger than our own, and one of its most prominent life forms are known to the humans as Omicron, fantastically large aliens that are very, very hostile to humans. the humans occupy a very small portion of land on the planet, leaving the rest to the Omicron and the natural fauna and flora of the planet, because Omicron seek out and attack human settlements - making it dangerous for humans to strike out and live in undefended areas. in order to counter the threat of them, huge mechs piloted by teenagers, connected by a fluid known as lambranide, fight the Omicron.

currently we have 3(4) main characters:

willow/will: he's a young prodigy, talented at managing the software and ground control parts of fighting. he loves fashion and video games and mechs, and finds it very difficult to talk to people or make friends with them. he's essentially on his own and has been for years: he was abused by the previous director of the base he works on, and this has made him suspicious of adults. although he cares about the pilots, he feels too alienated from them to fully exercise this care, and is often the target of bullying from them. and he's very much in love with leo. he's obsessive with the handful of interests he has (kawaii things, fashion, video games, mechs, and leo) and will go to great lengths for them, but he can be bitter, jealous, and spiteful when provoked.

asphalios/leo: he's the oldest pilot on base, at the decrepit age of 18. his older brother was also a pilot, and he resented him for many reasons, until he died piloting and his father immediately drafted leo into the pilot program. he was also abused by the same director who abused will; it's how they first got to know each other. despite the fact that they killed him together, though, he has little love lost for will. leo is not a great offensive pilot, but he's an excellent tank/defender/support, diverting aggro for the other pilots he's working with so that they can score kills. as such, his kill score is very low, but he's one of the most valuable pilots on the base. being older than most, the other pilots also look up to him outside the field for the attention and care they can't receive from their families anymore. however, long-term piloting has taken a toll on leo's body, and he's chronically sick & in pain. despite this, he forces himself to maintain a calm, supportive outlook at odds with the constant crisis he's having on the inside.

alexander/alex & xan: alex is a prodigal young pilot with so many issues. he's obsessed with his kill count, with battle, and with fame, and finds it impossible to connect with anyone, even the other pilots. he's reckless and a little bit stupid, putting himself in risky situations that can have terrible outcomes for him without regard for the consequences, and in some cases because the consequences are liable to be catastrophic. he thinks piloting is amazing and easy and the best thing ever, but he's desperately afraid of people finding out that he doesn't remember a fucking thing about his own missions, because;

his alter, xan, is the one actually piloting. xan hates it, though, and finds it agonizing to kill the omicron. he does it because he doesn't have a choice and he knows it, and because when he's on the field, the path to success presents itself clearly to xan, but he hates it to the core. xan is incredible at connecting with his mech, because he's unafraid of - or eager, in fact, for the depthless surrender that syncing demands. xan is ruined by the fact that he can't do anything but pilot and he hates that thing. he's more socially perceptive than alex but keeps the majority of his observations to himself, and doesn't front unless he has to. not even alex is aware of xan's existence. xan yearns for invisibility and oblivion, freedom from pain and desire and death, but he continues to exist despite his best efforts.

mechverse / CM is a WIP, which means these characters are less than a month old and will probably change a lot over time. these aren't even all the characters we're going to have, though we don't yet know what the future holds :3

as always, these ocs are made in collaboration with my dear friend @checkers-dance

IPS-N is not my favorite manufacturer. Mostly because their mechs are a nightmare to edit.

I've now finished posting EVERYTHING i've made!
