Mechanist from Arknights

""The engineer famous for his memory and scientific rigor can also write words as romantic as "Love is like the second law of thermodynamics: the more one longs for eternity, the further one goes down the path of decline," when he is drunk enough." Mechanist is based on a giraffe. He's a Rhodes Island elite operator who was the boss of Vector Breakthrough Inorganic Matters and will be the free unit from IS#7. He excels in engineering and design and has made a mechanical giraffe called Structural Principle that absolutely fucking sucked to fight against. I think he's really cool! I love that you can tell he's an engineer from the tools in his belt and I love faceless characters in general, the yellow in his design is usually an accent color like with Misery but here it's his defining color which is neat."

"Oh here is one of the most difficult and complicated professions you can play (Engineer) so lets reward your obvious love for a complicated play style with one of the most overpowered and easy elite specs out there. What is that? Give Engineers the golem to start and give them a more complicated elite spec? Nooooo that would make too much sense! No lets front-load all the class difficulty and give them an easy 'I win' button of an elite spec at the end as a reward for all their hard work!" - ArenaNet probably
