[LFA] Lilith, former serial killer and Manticore pilot

[LFA] Lilith, former serial killer and Manticore pilot

Hey y'all, I made this moodboard after a bit of an idea sharing convo about Lancer mech builds with Zuron and Nerdy Ass Hicks on the charadraw discord, and decided to post it! That said, let's get to it:

Diaspora planets have many problems, as is known, but serial killers were still few and far between. Lilith made headlines with her first streak of murders. Five men, all found without their eyes, killed with a fatal dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms, forcefully injested in two of the cases.

Her calling card would eventually lead to her arrest, as police forces were able to track down the suppliers of said mushrooms, and eventually the culprit. A life sentence at a forced labor camp was the agreed upon punishment for such heinous crimes, and Lilith, bless her soul, took it with no complaints. Her sociopathic demeanor and manipulative behavior eventually landed her in the guards good graces, getting preferential treatment, better food, and access to computers under strict surveilance.

Wherever there is omninet however, Horus is either there or soon to follow. And as fate would have it, Lilith was granted access to the collective. After staging a prison break, and making a run to the nearest populated moon, Lilith was able to procure a black-market printer, and bring to life her very own Manticore, designed to fit perfectly to her twisted personality, and thus "Medusa" was born.

Lilith would eventually earn her callsign from those who had either served in missions alongside her, or survived a fateful encounter: the "Laughing Coffin".

About the mech:
Medusa is a Manticore frame, built to resemble a jellyfish. Instead of the traditional spikes coming off the back, arcing with electricity, this particular mech has tendrils/tentacles coming down from the main body to fulfill that purpose. In addition, it has four arms that can function as legs or to operate weaponry. I was thinking of having the pattern of the Outbreak Perfected in large mirrored panels, and thake Zuron's idea of "former victims" showing as apparitions in the body.

Anyways, thanks for taking your time to read through this, it was a pretty long post, and I hope this is interesting to draw. Have a nice day!

Hi hi everyone, decided to repost this one so it gets reshuffled in the fold. Also I ended up deciding that "Monarda-Finch" was a mouthful and changed it to just "Finch"!

Anyways, about the character:

>This here is Cassandra Finch, a 22 years old human rogue with quick fingers and a silver tongue, trained to unlock doors, treasure chests, hearts and disarm the occasional trap.
Behind her go-lucky personality, Cassandra is the disinherited oldest daughter of the Monarda-Finch barony. Some six years ago, her father growing ever more weary of the girl's stunts around town, dragging the family name through the mud, decided that enough was enough, and Cassandra would never learn and grow if she could hide in the shadow of his influence. And so, she was cast out with the instructions to not come back until she had made a name of her own. In spite of this, the baron, having a soft spot for his eldest, tries his hardest to keep tabs on Cassandra and her adventures.
After being kicked out of home, she spent some of her time perfecting the skills her natural dexterity and talent had nurtured, learning the art of espionage through urchins and bounty hunters, and breaking a few hearts on her way. Now, she hears there's a big score up for grabs in Waterdeep, and she wants in!

>Now that we know her, let's talk about the LFA! I think the hood and mask can look really cool, but I also wanted to be able to see her face, so if it's not too much trouble maybe there can be a separate "mask on" snapshot.
Other than that, I'm not dead set on the hair color, but I think it can be pretty cute for it to be that pink.

As usual, if you need any more details ask away! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and have a good one! ^^
