I don't know if I would quite call it an OC just yet but I've been brainstorming how I would write 621 as a character and the impression I get from them as protagonist in Armored Core 6. And the vibe I get is that they're jaded, tired, and just...empty.
Walter mentions they're so deep in debt that only striking a Coral motherlode will make enough to buy their life back, and the Gen4 augments have fried so much of their brain that there's hardly even a person left. They were frozen in stasis and comatose right up until they're crashing through Rubicon's atmosphere and being told to get to work. Ostensibly the goal would be to do enough jobs and earn enough to buy their life back but it feels like there's nothing to go back to. They have no name, no past, they're just a serial number.
They gain their freedom, pay off their debt, and what then? They can't undo the augments. You can't go back to a home or a life that you don't even remember.
They're a hound. The only thing they have is the job. They're crippled by how many years in stasis waiting for someone to buy them, the surgeries have destroyed their ability to feel and function. The closest they can come to feeling alive is in the cockpit of the AC. A proxy body of steel and lightning that feels more real than their own flesh and bone thanks to their augments. The only way they can move without pain, act without assistance, choose and control their body, is through the war machine. It's all there is left.
Until, for the first time since coming to Rubicon, the comms fail and the hiss of the AC's cockpit speakers goes silent. No handler, no chatter from other pilots, just them alone in the quiet of their titanic prosthesis.
Until they hear a new voice. A soft, gentle voice that doesn't come from outside their AC, transmitted through the cockpit speakers or the two-way radio implanted in their ear. It echoes through them from deep within, feel it reverberate from their organic heart through every servo and piston of their AC. The voice lacks the synthetic hiss of electronic speakers and addresses them not as a hound or a serial number, but by name. As if they were a person again.
Everything changes once they make Contact.

Allow me to rant about Rusty and his theme for a moment okay.
spoilers for Armored Core 6 below.
Okay so first off Rusty's theme is so fucking good I love it so much.
It just has this sense of determination and righteous justice to it. It's so powerful and it fits his character incredibly well. If you've finished chapter 5 you know what I mean. Hearing this song kick in when you and Rusty team up to take down the Xylem makes everything feel worth it. "FUCK YEAH." Admittedly, I havent gotten the other ending (yet), so I dont know for sure how the song works there, but I can reasonably assume there's a final showdown with Rusty and it plays then.
Tumblr media
Next I want to bring up Rusty's emblem. For the majority of the game, when he's part of the Vespers, it's a muzzled wolf.
But after 621 defeats him towards the end of chapter 4, he leaves the Vespers, and (at least in the liberator of Rubicon ending,) he joins them in taking down the Xylem and saving Rubicon. This change is accompanied by not only a new AC, "Steel Haze Ortus," but also a new emblem, depicting a wolf with it's fangs bared, free of any restraints.
Tumblr media
This is a really subtle change but I like it a lot.
Tumblr media
Finally I just want to mention that, in the wild, Ravens are known to adopt wolf cubs and play with them as they grow. Even following the wolf of it chooses to leave it's pack. Just like 621 and Rusty both abandon their missions in order to save Rubicon. I love that. Bravo fromsoft.

Armored Core and Norse Myth: Ravens
Mild spoiler for Armored Core VI:
Just as Odin has his two famous ravens, there are two Ravens in Armored Core VI: you, and the faceless Raven whose identity you stole. Odin's ravens are Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), so which is which?
Tumblr media
You could say that the Raven whose identity you steal could be "thought" because of the free will the Ravens are meant to embody, the willingness to choose and follow through, making your character "memory" because you carry that legacy, that memory, along with you both before and after your fatal duel.
Tumblr media
But you can also reverse this. Your opponent could just as easily be interpreted as "memory" (Muninn) as they are the lineal descendant of a meaningful title, whereas you then become "thought" (Huginn) because of how that title and its baggage change how you operate as an independent merc, perhaps spurring you to better choices.
Either interpretation works, as I doubt the developers were that focused on this aspect of it. It's just a thought I had.

The most important analysis I can make about armored core 6 (being that I’m about midway through the first NG+ run and this is subject to change) is that even when you make your own choices they are the choices made by others. 621 or “raven” never decides their own fate. Even the one who encourages you to think for yourself, Ayre, calls you by a name she picked for you.
I know that this is obviously a video game and you have fixed choices but I do think it’s very intentional being a fromsoft game that your choices aren’t choices at all. They are powers greater than you deciding for you what role you will play in the great dance of war and death.
I just think it’s neat :>

I FINALLY FINISHED ARMORED CORE I'M GONNA COLLAPSE. IM FUCKING ASCENDIGNGNRJGJURGJRJUGJURJUGJUR I got all the battle logs too. It took me 7 runs of Honest Brute's mission to get all of the ones in his mission. Fuck him. He's my blorbo now. Iguazu/ALLMIND's fight was so fucking cool. He was pissed enough to take control of an entire AI. There were 2 Sea Spiders! Ayre fucking helped me! I wish I hadn't gotten this spoiled before I even touched the goddamn game! At least I only got the plot twist where he takes control of ALLMIND spoiled and not the contents of the fight itself. Now, everyone has a lady in their head that calls them studmuffin. Also, I think the people I killed somehow revived? I swear that some of the ACs in the final cutscene were people I killed. Holy fuck.

Nighttime Intrusive Thoughts
Hey armored core 6 nation have you ever thought about that fact that in every route Coral's crimson hue is Walter's funeral pyre and Xylem is his Viking funeral boat
