Character Creation Challenge, 15 of 31, Chidi of Clan Jade Falcon

Continuing my BattleTech week, I return with a Clan Elemental. For those not familiar with the setting, Elementals are the massive genetically modified battlesuited infantry used by the Clans. Massive, at over 2.5 meters, they operate high tech suits of armor capable of feats of strength. The suits carry a heavy support weapon in one arm, an infantry weapon in the other under a claw, and four tac missiles, while capable of jumping 90 m on jets, and shrugging off any weapon short of a tank main gun or large caliber artillery blast.

Star Commander Chidi is a massive man, nearly 2.5 meters tall, and rather quick for his size. His presence scares many, despite missing his right foot. Born in the Clan Homeworlds 24 years ago, he leads twenty-four other armored giants against the foes of Clan Jade Falcon in the Inner Sphere. Like any successful warrior, he learned early on the value of making enemies. He entered the forces of his clan in 3053, as part of the rebuilding process following the Battle of Tukayyid the proceeding year. He participated in offensive operations, was badly wounded by the Wolves in the Refusal War, and now been returned to duty in the  Clans. At this time, he is examining his life, and wonders what he needs to do to earn a Bloodname in house Icaza.
