Longstrike
Longstrike, real name and title Shas'La T'au Sha'ng, is a T'au tank pilot. His claim to fame is surviving an attack that killed his friends, fighting a valiant retreat before some Razorsharks saved his blue butt. Not to be deterred, he decides to be one of the biggest Mary Sues ever and Headshot a fucking WARHOUND TITAN! Yeah, we're not making this shit up. After helping the T'au curbstomp the Imperium in the Taros campaign, he returns as a hero and is idolized by the T'au populace.
Meanwhile, the Earth Caste decided to build the XV02 pilot suit, which is supposed to give the wearer enhanced reaction time and better aim. Essentially, a six million dollar T'au. The catch? Only Longstrike can wear it without going brain dead or becoming a vegetable. Despite his major Mary Sue status, he is still a decent character to use in crunch.
Whether or not his hero status defeats the point of the Tau'va is up for debateThis insult of a noble hero of the Tau'va shall not stand. Prepare for reeducation.
