Added some more stuff on OP.

I would like to see distinction between male and female outfit. Also, would really like to see more play on body proportions instead of a bunch of clones with different makeup.

So, uh, none of the new images are showing up. Is there just something wrong with me here?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. Crazy Kelly is my favorite.

I just noticed when looking at your drawings that Ronin don't have ANY black people! Not even a token black! It's just a bunch of white people! I can understand not having aliens: having an alien that doesn't look like a copy of a human takes work, but not having black people? Damn.


Maybe the Ronin are from a country that isn't the USA.

Not all countries have a major black minority, for example, in Finland, there's barely any black people at all.

A black Ronin is a good idea. In action movies there is always a black guy that saves everyone, or that dies saving everyone.

And that too, I hate the fact that Ronins are the same actor with a different heads.

Hmmm... The images occasionally does not show up on my end too, bloody upload site. I've changed it and now everyone should be able to view all 3 pictures. So, there shouldn't be any mysteriously disappearing black guy anymore ;)

My personal favorite too.


Looking up the name "Ronin", it means "samuri without a master". What I thought was that the Ronin would be an anti-brain-link criminal group. They would be former brain-linked troops gotten freed from control, then became space outlaws. However, the description on Promster's page says that:
Promster wrote:
...They use bodies belonging to convicts and occasionally some unfortunate civilian who got lobotomised after getting with the wrong crowd. Desperate poor people have also been known to rent their body (with their 'muted' brain still inside)...

So they do use brain-link, whether the subject like it or not.
I'm not entirely sure if I like this. It's a very good dark twist, but then where does the name "Ronin" come into play? Furthermore, what dumb bloke would be desperate enough to rent his body to the Ronin? The chance of that body coming back in one piece is literally zero. (We are all very experienced commanders by now, aren't we?)

Well, if we assume the Ronin aren't beyond resorting to piracy and outright theft, then perhaps they occasionally hijack freighters full of debrained/muted clones/convicts/etc. and use them as footsoldiers?

Desperation can drive people to do a lot of stupid things. The Ronin probably use cover organizations to offer exorbitant rewards (which they never have any intention of actually paying out) for people to rent their bodies to the company, when in fact they're being shuffled along to serve as expendable troops for major Ronin assaults.

Where's the "Heavy Ronin"?
I think Ronin should have an armored soldier. Not power-armor or mech thingies, just more armored, like, the drawing you made of the Pelian Light. But more Ronin looking.

A helmet would be a good start. It's sad watching Fred jerk around in the dirt with .25 of his head missing.

Poor Fred would already be helped a lot if his hair wouldn't contain major arteries.
It's sad watching Fred bleed to death due to someone giving him a 5.56mm haircut.

It is kinda funny that, for all the mention of aliens in the backstory, the only maybe-'aliens' we really have are the Imperatus and Techion.

Mind you, it's entirely possible that the brains used in the game for brainbots and braincases aren't necessarily all chosen from human candidates...

More generic-ish Ronin looks good though. Maybe get a little more 'junky' and improvised-looking with the armour?

Techion...?
