Character Creation Challenge 12 of 31, Haidar Inoue

Continuing with my BattleTech week in the character creation challenge, I used MechWarrior, Second Edition from 1991 to create this character. And yes, he counts as an Elite MechWarrior from the end of character creation. It's a remarkably simple system to min-max once you understand how the skills work with the attributes. So, here's Chu-i (Lieutenant) Haidar Inoue of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery in the year 3052.

The son of a samurai family in the Draconis Combine, he is a graduate of the Sun Tzu School of Combat, where he was completed the extensive training program and became an officer. His father was a MechWarrior as well, one of the few 'mainline' DCMS officers to serve with the Arkab Legions, where he worked closely with those warriors, and named his son after an officer he came to regard as a brother in arms. Naturally, the 'team play' aspect came to attract his father's attention, and he was sent there as a cadet, and trained as an officer. He received his daisho and was commissioned in 3049, and assigned to the famed Ryuken-ni. During the Clan Invasion, he fought in the raids against the Smoke Jaguars and Nova Cats from Wolcott. With the Truce era beginning, the DCMS and him are on edge against the invaders, not knowing what will happen in the near future. Recently, his family BattleMech was replaced by a MON-67 Mongoose.
