I mean, many of them were supposed to have seen some really dark stuff in their career,


Oh, just you wait. You’ll be seeing some dark shit with my character. ;)

At the moment I’ve got… around six paragraphs for my backstory. I’m about to rap that up, and I still need to get to the personality, which shouldn’t be too difficult. After that the only things I have to do are small details. Unfortunately, I’m going on a trip to the beach this weekend, but after the 4 hour drive I’ll be able to get a lot of writing done.

Happens to everyone. Don't worry about it. You're not late in any way either. The IC hasn't even started yet, so you've got plenty of time.

Revised a bit. I thought some bits weren't important, left them out. Added skills, a little more to backstory and personality.

Looking forward to this thing getting started, and enjoying the character stories that people have been posting, but I'm starting to see Darkraven's point about the number of American characters. Not that any of the applications are bad, but so far it seems like China and the U.S. are the only countries that give a damn about the fate of the planet.

Updated my profile a bit. Worked out some formatting, and added a written appearance description.

And here is my character. I doubt I'll be able to use the sword much, but if I can get close enough I'm sure I'd be able to dice a few sectoids.

Stefan0620: Looking good so far. I'd say that it's good enough to be accepted.

Derpestein: Finally, someone who isn't American or Chinese! :D

Marik: And speaking of which... Anyway, I've read through your CS. It looks well developed so far, except for a few things. 'Specialist' is too ambiguous a rank, unless of course, it's an actual rank in T.A.G. I'm going to need clarification on this. But then this is only the simplest part.

Regarding your character's loadout, I'm going to need a little more elaboration on the submachinegun. As you know, there are a lot of different models of SMGs in the world, so I need you to pick one. It doesn't even have to be real. I mean, 6 years should be enough for a few new models to be designed, field-tested and distributed.

And the final bit has wider implications. You mentioned in your character's story that T.A.G was dismantled, yet in your character's history of combat deployments, T.A.G would go on to conduct operations in multiple countries. Is there a mistake there?

Also, don't worry about not being able to use the Katana. Assuming that your character lives long enough, there might be opportunities for that, and since we're dealing with aliens here, unorthodoxed tactics would be called for. Who knows? Maybe there might be a type of alien that would be vulnerable to swords? :D

Anyway, just so you know, Japan, like China, is also beginning to issue swords to NCOs and COs across several services as well, so your Katana isn't out of place. You could say that swords are having a revival in the military, well, at least in Asia. ASEAN would have several countries doing that too, just that I haven't mentioned it yet until now.

Everyone: It seems that things are going as planned. Once I get a few more CSes out of the way, we'll be able to start.

I got the Specialist rank for the U.S. army. It’s right above PFC and below CPL.

Yeah, I’ll get to looking up a specific gun. That shouldn’t be any problem.

T.A.G was let go by the American government, but they still conducted operations as a paramilitary group on their own accord. The only reason why I called them T.A.G at that point was because I was coming to a blank on what to call them, and I can change that if you like.

About the most modern Japanese SMG going is the PM-9, although an MP7 might look more sufficiently badass and modern. And Specialist is roughly equivalent to Lance Corporal, though they tend to be, well, specialists rather than fire team leaders.

I am imagining, later in the RP, Marik being able to use a laser/plasma sword and duel an alien, or a new plasma sword wielding alien.

If this were an actual X-Com game, I'd think of kinetic strike used by mecs, particularly the animation.

Berserker lunges on top of you? BOOM, PLASMA SWORD TO THE STOMACH.

Mechtoid? SLICE AND DICE.

And for the regular aliens like sections, like how Kinetic strike has a standard punch animation...
Decapitation animation.

Edited in my gun choice, and thanks Lennon, I decided to go with the MP7.

Dude, swords in an XCOM game would be rad. And coupled with psionics? I’d totally have a legit reason to name some of my troops after Jedi or Sith.

Ugh, writers block. I ducking hate you, brain.

I'm coming up blank with creating a CS.

I have the basic idea in mind but I just can't flesh it out properly. Ugh.

Is there any more space in this? I'm really interested since I just bought and played through Xcom: Enemy Unknown. Was a bit too short, but challenging. I got lucky with my second wave stuff. I picked the two options where recruits start with random stats and growth was randomized too. One of my first soldiers turned out to have 85 Aim and pretty good will. She later on became my best psi-user as well. Her ending stats were 86 Will and 115 Aim.

I believe the GM said they were looking for ten people, so there may be room for you. I’d wait for an official response from Darkraven first before making a CS, mostly because I’d rather not speak for them and say something wrong in the process, but feel free to kick around a few character ideas in your head just in case we do have room.
