Welcome rookies to the XCOM Initiative! I'm sure you've heard of the Great Invasion that began a few days ago and I'm sure that's exactly why you're here. You want to be vict- I mean heroes! First, a quick briefing; The XCOM Initiative is an underground government funded program that has been dormant for years and has finally resurfaced to bring the fight back to the alien bastards. We have the technology and the brains, what we don't have is the manpower. That's where you come in, soldier. Our brains and engineers will supply you with all the technology and weapons you need to take on these bastards - Of course we can't expect many of you will come back but those that do will get shiny medals and those who don't get to be remembered as the forgotten heroes who repelled the alien invasion. Just sign your name here, Hero. ( Alright, here's the breakdown, XCOM: Enemy Within is a turn based game where you repel an alien invasion by controlling a squad of soldiers(that are customizable) until the end of the game. I have found an amazing mod that allows for a much longer game, larger squad limits and an overall harder experience and now I want to bring peoples characters into this - I want as many victims as possible. Those who want in just use this form: Soldier Name: General Desc: The description will be followed as closely as possible and those who have those characters notified of their progress ( Probably through an extended post if this gets too popular for simple inboxing ) Please try to limit 1-2 characters, you can also throw yourself at the aliens if you like. And finally, I'll make sure you honor all those dead and send those alive to their deaths. )
Soldier Name: Six-Seven-Four (Or Clarice Kara) General Desc: Blonde Hair, True Gray Eyes, 6 foot 3 inches tall, Mildly Deepish Voice. I recommend not naming people until they past recruitment stage. Recruits die sooo easily.
Soldier Name: McKenzie Wayne General Desc: Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes, 6 feet tall, Mildly Deepish Voice. Male. No fedora. Pls no fedora.
Soldier Name: Jackson Britton General Desc: Brown Military Cut, black eyes, 6'3 ft tall. Kinda normal, yet squeaky voice. Male. White skin color.
Name: Sir Bobbingham Jibbs The Fifth General Desc: Male, deepest of voices, brilliant blue eyes, fantastic curly blonde hair, wears only the most fabulous of clothes, ripped as hell, twinkle in his eyes.
Soldier Name: Vikas Devilscry General Desc: Male, deep voice, dark skin, shaved head, and a coat of some sort. If possible, make 'em a heavy weapons, but genetically enhanced, not a clonky mech.
Either or would be fine - I'd expect most people to put in their Starbound characters since this is a Starbound RP forum and they'd like to see what would happen if their character would fight against aliens while wearing very amazing fedoras.
Soldier Name: David "Darkwell" Levitz General Desc: Bipolar psychopath with no physically intimidating attributes whatsoever and should probably not be fighting aliens. If anything, he'd be on the science team. But, if you must, he would like to be portrayed as such:
Hopless xeno threat? Call all able bodied? Laser guns? Yes. Soldier Name: William "Frak" Trent General Desc: Brown hair, green eyes Prefered class: Sniper
