Sadly good immersive flavor texts are hard to come by. Here's two good ones.

And one that's bad in a funny way, like they're answering a dating questionnaire:

"The young marine can’t be more than twenty, standing at 5’7 with hazel eyes, and carrying herself with ready confidence. Her unremarkable face is rarely seen without a broad, genuine smile. At some point she’s taken the time to pluck and arch her eyebrows, while her hair is dyed a vivid, non-regulation red. Darker brown roots are nonetheless betray her natural hair colour.

Someone has stencilled the words ‘Service with a smile!’ in bold white letters on the front of her helmet. A tattered playing card, a Queen of Hearts scrawled with illegible signatures, is stuck inside her helmet band. The backplate of her armour bears the words ‘Too cute to die. If found, please return to Neme-246’."

That's a good one I've seen. Really matches her character. A bad mar-nie who spends a bit too much time of her looks.

Flavor texts most of the times will just make you a snowflake nerd. It's better to have a short, simple text or none

These all amount to "put down a lot of words with flowery language" sadly grandiloquent lexicons do not denote good flavor text. Once you go past a sentence or two I pretty much think you're trying too hard to be a special snowflake when you're really just another cog in the machine.

The problem is that we are all cogs in the machine spiraling down to doom, conformity, and entropy. Being "special" isint going to change that, nor diminishes the PTSD inducing horrors of war that we are suppose to be role playing the moment Timmy gets disemboweled.

Best flavor I saw was from a classic ss13 spessman looking marine (black hair, black eyes, standard white skin) which was: His armor reads EXPENDABLE.

You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.
