[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!
