thanks:
the background was a real pain, and it is not a ship but a mech in the background.
the character would be a mechanic. and while not a soldier he would be able to defend himself when he must.

Hello:
Β You are welcome!
Β Well, I don't know much about that setting, so whoops . But I can see why it would be dangerous, since he won't have the big bad guns .

its okay, the setting gets quite complicated but the short explanation is.
"ground warfare mech combat"
he does not need the big guns to survive, he just need to be useful.
a good mechanic is sometimes more worth then a good mech pilot.

Well, that can be a good summary
That is indeed true! But most story focus on pilots because that is a more glamorous job.

it mostly is, but you forget that behind every warrior there are at least 10 people helping him. things from mechanics logistics, pilots, information gatherers, cooks you name it.
also its skills would mostly be in working with sup-optimal parts and making it work, which is rather useful in areas where proper replacement parts for mechs are hard to get.
he would be able to pilot a mech as you have to "test" your modifications etc. but he would not be good at it like a proper mech-pilot in the setting. but better then someone who never piloted it. so he could help as a "reserve" pilot when you have a spare mech around. but it would only be in desperate times that you put your mechanic in the role of a pilot.

I don't forget! but most franchises do! You can see some of that in Battlestar Galactica, how in the original series those people were almost forgotten, but in the Reimagined series they were given better roles as they deserve.
Yeah, also like in the Reimagined BSG, but if that Avali character can do that, then he is a cool mechanic.
It sounds like one of those times when he can help but everybody is like hopeful they won't have to need to do that.
