Thank you for the offer! I appreciate it greatly, but at the moment I think I'd still like to focus on getting some last bits of gameplay and system-work down before I start to tackle the story and characters hard.
if you ever decide to make that second character, please don't make him stray too far from Val's design (god, that armor is amazing),
Don't worry, they'll have very similar armor designs (standard issue kit). She has a redesigned suit I haven't had a chance to show yet by the way.
maybe the guy she talks to in the hangar menu?
The mechanics are going to be some side characters. The one she's standing near will probably be the head of the maintenance crew who'll scold you if you get a lot of D ranks in a row.
