[Derpestein]

Your armored pic looks cool. Reminds me of mine.

[Ubermensch]

Latest character looks good so far! Adding to my check list.

Also, you may add two more if you like. Optional but recommended as anyone can die in the RP.

[696969]

Eh, I'll make them up as we go along in case Xavier gets killed off. Plus I think it'll be even better to see where the other two go from Rookie :P

Acknowledged.

[Derpestein]

Oh, mister GM, there's something you should know if you want more people to join.

I think you should put all the things from the interest checks first post into this one.

Backstory, stuff like that. And the list should too.

Sounds like a great idea. I will make that into one post.

I like the loyalty reward scheme we have here, instant squaddie status :D

Haha, I meant edit the first post with everything put in it so that it's easier for people to know what's up.

Doing that as we speak.

YEEEH!

No rookie babysitting for us!

Cool. Is there perhaps a chance for the post to have like, links to accepted characters or a part for 'Accepted Applications'?

[Ubermensch]

Links to accepted characters? Sure! I'll make a list in the front post so they can serve as examples.

[Ubermensch]

The front page has been updated. Now I'm about to ready up the IC once the active players give me the green light.

How does combat work?

Like in XCOM, it is turn based. I will display the stats of the creature you plan to attack, your chance to hit, how much damage you can deal up to, etc.

An example: If you are aiming at a ghoul in low cover, the low cover reduces your chance to hit by fifteen percent. High cover is double that of low cover, and the accuracy depends on range and weapon. I am considering including skills to make game play unique.

Yes, I derive the combat system and other mechanics directly and ideally exactly from XCOM: EU and EW.

I will also post this to the front page if needed.

[Derpestein]

That will, of course, not be shown in IC, right? A bunch of statistics for every shot might not be the most story like thing...

Nope. I won't show the boring parts. I'll deal with them.

Will we roll for statistics? Will the statistics be posted in the OOC? so the more nerdy members of this RP might check them out... it's not for me... ermm.. it's for a... friend of mine.

Haha! If we do, this might have to be moved to Tabletop RP!

Ahem...
I think the GM will be rolling everything behind the scenes and reacting to our posts in character (I.E, you miss your shot, the bullets ricocheting off of the reflective metal *insert enemy name* is hiding behind.)
Though he may post the results of the statistics n stuff OOC.
