How would you envision your character speaking if they were, instead of a character in CM-13, a hero unit in an RTS that was in the same universe? Your character doesn’t have to be groundside or even a combatant - no one expects SCVs from Starcraft to fight but they have attack quotes. You should include, ideally:
Select Quotes
Move Quotes
Attack Quotes
Under Fire quotes
Annoyed quotes [you know those funny lines your units say when you click on them 100 times]
Enter the Battlefield quotes
Special Ability quotes
If you can think of some other quote to add, go ahead. Don’t feel obligated to include every category, though, this is just for fun.
