The most patrician way to become a mecha pilot

>>15592234
Joining the military and progressing by normal means is always my option of choice. But, the second option generally carries my favorite piece o logic, which is:
>This state of the art war machine was developed and build by my father (under contract, with aid of a huge team of technicians and using goverment/private backers funds) so, therefore, it is mine by right!

Finding the body of the mecha in a Jersey dump and you tune it up yourself, rewire the whole system, and customize the controls so they are incredibly easy for you but impossible for anyone else.

Surviving your first and every other engagement afterward is a nice start.

I think it's cooler if the character is self-trained. Like it's just a hobby in the beginning. Then his skills get better with practice and his natural talents evolve. Eventually his skill becomes gains more notoriety.

Building the mech AND learning to pilot it by yourself.

To be patrician is to be nobility. Nobility is inherited. Therefore the most patrician way to become a mecha pilot is to inherit the mecha. Kouji was already a patrician mecha pilot, since he got it from his grandpa. He showed everyone else the true way.
