"Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying" - Arthur E. Clerks

"Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword" - Buckminster Fuller

An unknown anomaly has happened, Cities have started to go silent and missing after strange objects entered the earth's atmosphere. The council has hereby authorized the XCOM Project, You are to investigate these sittings, figure out what is happening, and stop it. For the sake of your fellow men and women you are our last hope. Council out.

There is more Verity of Equipment, Enemies, Powers, Etc... in this than there was in the original game, so take that in mind when creating your character, they will start with earth gear sense this is the beginning.

All Equipment is manufactured primarily in the engineering bay, Equipment can be damaged during missions and need repaired. No new equipment when it's discovered will be instantly made for the soldiers, they must go to engineering and put a requisition request in order to gain new equipment, such as Stronger version of their own, a different one entirely, or even the laser type weaponry when their available.

Other: (Odds of becoming a Psi trooper, Bio Engineered Trooper or Mech trooper later on, and anything else I've forgotten Note: Not everyone will be able to turn into a Psi trooper, but they have easy chance to become a Mech Or Bio engineered one depending on their own decision once we've reached to that point)

Hello there.

I'm mostly here for the interest of watching and giving advice. I know this is a free roleplay with likely minimal depth, but I still believe you should do a little more research on how something like X-Com would realistically operate. First things' first, the equipment thing and the 'go to other areas to relax' thing. That simply wouldn't be the case. X-COM is displayed as a very secretive organization, and the closest things IRL (like many special forces of first world countries, for example), simply wouldn't allow people 'on the job' to wander about outside the base.

As well, most grunts in military forces are just that; grunts. All they're reasonably expected to do is to fight and do the most basic maintenance on all of their stuff, if something of theirs was broken, they wouldn't even have to go to the quartermaster or whatnot to report it. I think usually, after an operation, the grunts go to the guy who handles all of the equipment back at base (the quartermaster), give back whatever, even if its' in pieces, then let them do all that. (reporting the damage, getting engineering to fix it, et cetera)

Finally, in the military, you don't get to pick what you want. Realistically, you're given a gun that fits your training, with no ifs ands or buts. Of course, it does fit what you were trained to do, but y'know.

In any case, I'll be watching We... will be watching.

.......this is a roleplay not a real secret military organization. it's not meant to be how it would exactly be. -_- it's to allow the roleplayers to actual have something more to do than sit around and talk between missions, if it's treated as a full on real organization there wouldn't be as much fun, atlest in my eyes. None of my roleplays are ever suppose to be exact. -_- i really don't like it when some people take things to seriously.

Never take things to seriously like a roleplay, if you do you'll ruin the entire concept the creator had and ruin any chances it has for survival.

Hey man, didn't want an argument. I simply consider it mildly offensive to not at the very least handwave it. I didn't mean to rustle any jimmies.

well wouldn't it be a bit annoying if someone suddenly showed up and tried to tell you how your own rp should be ran without thinking how the maker wanted it to go? it wouldn't be as bad if you showed up and asked if you could share some knowledge/advice that you had before saying it. then it wouldn't be as annoying.

To put it simply this is a Free roleplay meant for the enjoyment of it's members. It's not meant to be like a real organization, if it was i wouldn't even of made it. That's how i run my roleplays, it's never meant to be super realistic.. it's an alien invasion... to this current day that is not a realistic situation.

At this current moment i'm relaxed and calm thanks to other things i have going on. Otherwise i would probably not be so nice right now. i would be probably cussing and using a lot of caps.

Well, if it isn't 'meant to be taken seriously', why are you taking a detractor such as myself so seriously?

:^)

[ahuehuehuehuehu]

In any case, have fun with all this. I'll be lurking.

There is only few things i take seriously, one is someone telling me how to do something that i already had stuff planned for.

Either way this roleplay may of just lost some of it's chances to succeed which doesn't make me happy.

Edit: Hahaha, forgot Appearance.
