Well, bade another variant of my plan, this time switching ace Pilot with Test pilot, and well. Is the self-made fluff text acceptable? And how would that be reflected compared to ace pilot?

the thing is, this might be leaning too much into diplomacy. this is time of war in a militarist natiin. we will need martial

Mostly a Mix of Learning and Martial, as well as a bonus to Each.

Bonus wise makes sense. but gotta ask the big question. How does the test pilot stack up to the fighter pilot?
[Edit: Specifically, as far as pilot skills.]

We need lots of things as well. In fact I kind of built mine mostly narratively than minimaxing, especially since I did take the -5 many stats bad trait...
And thematically, talking fast is probably the most likely to somehow get put in charge in spite of that.

what about spec ops?

I guess it would be a mix of martial and Intrigue. Though not sure how exactly it would narratively differ from fencer

I don't think we should minmax fully, but giving some mind to stats, and looking at the character we create might be good. my plan for example creates a young woman, whose mutant abilities led her to the special forces. she is a natural leader, and has a keen sense of justice, which led her to become an officer. however her need for justice can lead to her being wrathful, and she is rather ambitious. her impulsive nature also make her lustful(since I couldn't find many other traits to fit this build and I haven't seen lots of ck2 quests with lustful mc)

mechanically she has lots of martial, fitting for a spec ops officer and also great for a warring nation, while also getring a good deal of diplomacy, and a bit of learning and stewardship bonuses

Looking closer at my original plan. The stat bonuses look like this.
+9 diplo, +1 martial, -4 intrigue, +2 Stewardship, -3 learning, Piety -3
Surprisingly not as bad as I thought...
But that intrigue...
Build wise, a diplomancer with somewhat decent stewardship and martial, and learning and Piety is barely beat out by intrigue as the worst stat. Though other plans probably beat out near everywhere with that -5 everything I have going on.
 
Setting a Tally.

[X]plan Elbereth

This plan makes me think of those surprisingly lawful and charismatic Xianxia emperors with a thousand children who kill them if they do something outrageous, but i like Xianxia.

And now i am wondering if this quest will end up in QQ.
