The Avatar Project is nearing completion: the Commander is racing against the clock to make contact with new global regions, decimate alien strongholds, facilities, and blacksites, while keeping his XCOM operatives alive and safe.

This is just a simple little... experiment? I've heard other people doing it, so.

Here's what you do: Give me a character. Name, gender, general appearance, and attitude, and I'll make a character in my XCOM 2 game to fit it. Then, I take them out on missions and report to you, whoever made that character, what class they became, general performance, etc. In story form, of course.

Here's a short storyline of the XCOM series:

2015: Alien invasion. XCOM is designated to be the counter force to the aliens
2016: XCOM fails, and is destroyed; the aliens take over
2020: Human population subdued from active rebellion
2025: Human population calmed and generally subdued
2026: ADVENT created to be the common peacekeepers; troopers and the like.
2027: Human scientists and engineers are recruited to work on alien technologies
2035: Various rebels- soldiers, survivors of the former XCOM, scientists, engineers- gather again to reform XCOM and fight back

So, here's a little sheet:

Name:
Nickname:
Gender:
Nationality:
Backstory: (Optional- put date of birth and such in here. Current date is 2035)
General appearance: (Sharper face, scarred, tattooed, etc.)
Attitude: (By the book, hard luck, intense, happy-go-lucky, twitchy)
Class: (Ranger is CQC, Grenadier is heavy weapons, Sharpshooter is ranged combat, Specialist is support and medium range)
Subclass: (Ranger: Assault or Scout. Grenadier: Demolitions Expert or Gunner. Sharpshooter: Sniper or Gunslinger. Specialist: Battle Medic or Combat Hacker)
Other: Anything else you'd like to add.

Accepted/Approved Characters:
@PlatinumSkink - RANGER, Assault - Milla "Duchess" Duchene, Female

Accepted/Approved Characters:

If you're on PC you can actually import characters via the Creator menu thing which totally escapes my memory. I actually made one to be imported.

@VATROU
Um.
Yes.
I'm aware.

That's not what I'm asking, though.

I'm offering to let someone write up a character, and then I'll play them in XCOM 2 and let them know how that character did, for as long as they're alive.

I am not asking for a how-to import-a-character.

Sure, I'll bite. Note, I have absolutely no idea about anything in XCOM and have never played the games, but I made something from the limited information I have.

@PlatinumSkink
Hey, just go to youtube and look up a few videos. It's a pretty fun and challenging game.

Adding your character in now.

@PlatinumSkink
Also, what's your character's nationality?

@WilsonTurner Ah. Did not consider that. Well... Make her American. Maybe with some mixed blood, but I have no idea from where.

Alright, I will also give you a character.

Name
Steven Chirinos

Nickname
Mercy

Gender
Male

Nationality
Spanish

General Appearance
Give him no scars at all. Make him look like this guy (top left). And also, make the colors of his armor like this one please. And no tattoos at all as well.

Backstory
1998-2035. Too lazy to make up a backstory.

Attitude
By the book attitude would best fit Ivan.

Class
Specialist

Subclass
Battle Medic

Other
Nope.

@PlatinumSkink@The Spectre
Unfortunately- my time on my computer is very limited.

Also due to my most recent mission's 'success', I need to recover my own troops before training some new ones specifically to your characters.

After all, Wilson Turner, John Williams, and Ariel Softer have all been captured by ADVENT. But hey, I got the VIP, right? And I managed to keep them all alive through my first encounter with the Queen Berserker!

Actually, not really.
I restarted this mission a dozen times.
This is the most favorable outcome, so far.
The last times, no one would've made it out. At least two of them died each restart.

And I'm playing on EASY. I stopped playing on Normal because I kept losing someone every other mission, at the very least. I could play XCOM: Enemy Unknown on normal and rarely lose a man on the first try. I could play it on Hard and still lose a man less often than XCOM 2 on Easy.

@WilsonTurner Heh. The game actually allows you to restart a map? From the reputation, I actually thought differently. Haha.

@PlatinumSkink
Actually, no
I'm using saves to go back before the mission started oron the first turn.

Name: Lei Wang
Nickname: Suicide
Gender: Male
Nationality: Chinese
Backstory: Born on Februrary 13, 1980, Lei Wang has been fighting his entire life. First, it was as a dock worker's kid in the rough parts of Jixi, Heilongjiang Province, then as a soldier in the People's Liberation Army, then as part of the Shenyang Military Region Special Forces Unit. He was considered for recruitment by X-Com, but wasn't able to join before the organization's defeat. Instead, he helped foster a rebellion in Northern China. The Resistance was brutally put down in 2020, with Lei as the only survivor. Escaping into the Siberian Wilderness, he hid for fifteen years before being recruited for X-Com.
General appearance: Pale skinned, heavily scarred, Sharp features, greying hair
Attitude: Unhinged, Blood thirsty, extremely polite, creepy.
Class: Ranger
Subclass: Assault
Other: I'm not sure how I even came up with this guy.

@Bourgeoisie
Based on the level of enemies I'm playing on this Easy-difficulty game...

Suicide is indeed going to get himself killed. Js.

Also, he's old as shit. Like 55.

@WilsonTurner

I figure he's a mix of Soldier 76 and Reaper personality wise, only more psychotic and more stabby stabby.
