====== Echo Pilot ======

You served as an Echo Pilot in wartime, learning how to connect your mind to these vehicles and maneuver in them effectively. Few people can learn to master this skill, and almost all of them are scooped up by a major military power. Echo suits are expensive pieces of equipment to construct and maintain, and few Pilots can afford them without some serious backing.

On the battlefield, they are an invaluable asset. They are large, intimidating, and pack the punch necessary to back it up. Some battles are won simply from morale loss; The enemy, seeing a squadron of Echo Suits, raises a white flag out of self-preservation. In civilian life, Veteran Echo Pilots are generally regarded as heroes or villains, with little room for nuance. Common people either revere or despise them.

**Suggested Characteristics**
//Echo Suit Pilots took the path they did while searching for excitement and adventure. But the dangers of the job were usually downplayed. Most pilots have seen the horrors of war, have lost comrades, and have suffered injuries. Pilots who retire from this career are often disillusioned, left to pick up the pieces of a broken mind. Pilots who stay connected to their suits for sustained periods of time cahn suffer from Echo Sickness. Echo Sickness is an alteration of their physical brain structure, and can cause bouts of confusion, intense emotion, or severe depression.//
