I'm in the process of whipping up some new characters. I'm going to have one RAcaseal (Oran), one RAmarl (Skyly), and one FOnewm (Viridia).

I've played these character types before, but that was a long time ago back when I really didn't care what materials/mags/etc they had. I'm a person who tends to like characters that get all up and personal - concentrating on offense over defense. However, I'm willing to be flexible. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips and guides on these three, especially mag and material recommendations. I already have pretty much one of every mag banked away, as well as a huge amount of materials. I just want to carefully place everything, and if I have to, I will start some mags from scratch specifically for these characters. For the moment, I am only playing OFFLINE, but am looking into ONLINE later this week.
