Lucky

Every lance has their own superstition for fortune in battle. In your lance it’s Ricky Cooper. No matter how many scraps he gets into, Lucky’s lance comes back in good shape, apart from Lucky. He’s been wounded every single time with some parts now replaced by cybernetics.

= Personal History =

Early Life
Lucky was raised among the noble houses of the Free Worlds League with a life of privilege before him and his father’s mech to inherit. Just how Lucky managed to screw that up isn’t known, he changes the story with every telling. Cast out from his family, Lucky stole the family Wolverine and struck out on his own. Life as a freelance mechwarrior has a certain romance to it. It also has bills. Bills for repairs, for ammo, for operating costs all piled up. Before long Lucky found himself signing over his heirloom mech to the banks just to break even.

The Dragoons are his chance to get back into the hotseat of a mech, any mech. While the Dragoons appreciate his training, they’re more comfortable with the idea of a one armed astech than a one armed mechwarrior. After all, he lost the original arm to an MG round through his cockpit. That’s fine by Lucky, he can wait for his second chance at glory.

Current Events
The Fenrir is Lucky’s big second chance. The need for skilled pilots in Epsillon Regiment was severe enough that even a cybernetic mechwarrior is worth the risk. Lucky’s abilities are as sharp as ever which concerns some. There’s only so much good Lucky left.

= Personality = Lucky is the blind optimist, convinced that the ‘verse will provide any minute now. With that also comes the confident swagger of a seasoned Mechwarrior, even if he’s spent a few years on the Astech bench. His replacement arm is almost as good as an actual limb though he’s shifted himself towards being left-handed. The pistol he carries on his right hip is generally because he thinks it looks dashing. After all, a mechwarrior’s choice of weapon isn’t pistols at noon.
