Some ideas for EU characters/Exalted. Don't think I'll have the time to flesh them out myself, but someone else might find them them useful as inspiration, perhaps.
- a south american detective (honorary britannian?) who kept investigating the local drug trade, found out that the cartels producing the drugs are backed by the britannian nobility, because they are quite happy to have the numbers supplied with cheap and plentiful drugs like heroine, cocaine, etc. that keep them docile and dependent.
Obviously good at investigation and information gathering, but I figure he might also be useful for things like forging evidence and staging crime scenes, plus plenty of underworld contacts.
- a german tank ace who got his ass handed to him in a border skirmish with britannian knightmares. he absolutely hates KFs, because he knows that by all conventional logic the tank should be superior in open battle, yet somehow the KFs always come out ahead. he got an offer from hell, and now wants to rip the current KF-focused military doctrine to shreds.
I just like the idea of someone who lives in a mecha-setting, and after experiencing the usual plot-armor of mechas goes "that's bullshit" and "I'm gonna kill it and desecrate the corpse".
maybe while piloting something like
this; "heavy armor so their piddly autocannons can't get through the weakpoints!" and "moar guns to fill all the space they'd normally dodge into with bullets!"
perhaps taking some inspiration from 40k Chaos vehicles/daemon engines in general. I like war-/hellstriders well enough, but having something like
this or
this would also be cool.
- an engineer from one of the other EU countries (france, maybe? dutch?) who had been trying to develop infantry power armor as a potential counter to KFs, but never got the designs to quite work on his own, and then blew his presentation when trying to attract investors from the military or maybe local arms manufacturers.
