A terrible, but funny idea for a game
so hear me out: A Clanner dating game, putting dating game tropes on clan warriors
the premise: the main character is a member of the ComGuards, and served in the battle of Tukayyid. He fought against each clan involved, and while he put up a good fight, he ultimately was defeated by each at least once. At the time, the clans were too busy getting the stuffing beat out of them to try claiming bondsmen, but after the battle, Precentor Martial Focht for some reason sent your personal combat record, as well as your genealogical information to each clan. Apparently, the MC is a descendant of Aaron DeChavilier, the right hand of Kerensky himself. By the time of the Exodus, all of DeChavilier's children were dead, but his 2nd eldest had had a fling while deployed with the SLDF in the OWA. Even 300 years post Exodus, such an esteemed heritage (and a complimentary combat record) would be considered worthy of a potentially influential Bloodheritage. Having lost once to each of the clans, each of them have a claim, and they each send a warrior to claim him. But with 7 claims, how to decide a winner? Ritual combat of course! these warriors are fighting a trial of possession for your heart!
Ideas for the girls:
>Wolf: **MechWarrior** traditional waifu OR an IS Freeborn former bondsman who earned a place as warrior a la phelan kell, who is also your childhood friend
>Ghost Bear: **Elemental** Gentle giant who can become a mama bear in the right circumstances
>Smoke Jaguar: **Solhama infantry** A super hot milf (a Smokeshow Cougar, if you will)
>Jade Falcon: **Aerospace pilot** petite tsundere
>Nova Cat: **Elemental** Catgirl nicknamed Maine Coon, maybe does 4th wall break jokes via sacred visions
>Diamond Shark **MechWarrior** Haughty rich girl
>Steel Viper haven't decided, but thinking about some armor representation
player is secretly in charge of deciding matchups and methods, and can use that to fix fights for their preferred option. for example, an aerospace pilot vs an elemental in unaugmented combat is a win for the elemental, augmented is a win for the pilot, and a strategic exercise could be an inconclusive draw.
