    OOC X-COM Think Tank (part 4)

    I've got one, maybe two more things I want to do for this rp before I call it GG, but after that I'm probably going to sit out whatever we do next, or at least have a delayed entry. I have other plans, including a continuation of my last solo project. Anyone who's interested, I suggest you read...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Epilogue The language of sentient beings is war. He had moved past the entry to the crypt, expecting the Mutons at the door to attack him. But they’d simply knelt at his feet, recognizing the victor. He left them to it. It's a language that needs no translation. When...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 11 (Final) The scythe at his neck wavered. Samuel, you cannot seriously be considering- “I would be your underling?” he interrupted, eyes boring into her facemask. A pause, then one slender hand reached back. There was a slight hiss as the mask was detached...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 10 He fired another burst at Azrael, but the angel pirouetted away. “What the hell did you just do?!” he demanded, standing shakily. Carolus giggled, clearly enjoying his plight. “Azrael can cut metaphysical ties,” she explained with a smug tone. “I first...

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 9 Unless she can work out which one of you corresponds to which form. Samuel checked his rifle’s ammo, ensuring the magazine was full. Might give her a few seconds warning to whatever I’m planning. And then there’s the fact that Umbra doesn’t change instantly...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 8 This being all the warning he would receive, Carolus began possessing him. Samuel had time to curse before his body was brought entirely under her control, her will overriding his. “Pah. Simple,” he uttered, looking over himself. “Ooh. Husky. Rough, but...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 7 The sanctum wasn’t locked off. No door stood in his way, no barrier. But when he approached the entrance, two large spears crossed before him. The owners, two Muton Elites with plating even more ornate than previous specimens, leered at him. They didn’t attack...

    Speaking of said independent mission, here it is, featuring all your favorite people from Judgement Squad! ... well, half of it, anyway.

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 6 (intermission) The journey forth was muted. No-one spoke. They were not attacked, either - wherever this darkened staircase down led, it was not somewhere worth guarding it seemed. Or no one had ever expected them to get this far. Some way down, Lester stopped...

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 5 Below, Ignium struck again, Umbra deflecting the blade. He scowled. Had they engaged in battle at the beginning like he’d intended, he might have been able to cook Samuel using thermokinesis and be done with it. But now he was weakened. Using thermokinesis now...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 4 Ignium was visibly stunned by the spectacle, having not been present for the deaths of any of his other comrades. “... enough,” he said darkly, deftly parrying Arthur’s swipe and launching a retaliatory fireball in the Phantom’s direction to prevent him attacking...

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 3 Chaoalki wheezed. Heal me, he snapped psionically. And then blink me over to the armored one. “Understood,” Terrash stated, choosing to ignore the fact that his subordinate was ordering him around. Lifting the ground around them to enclose the two, he began...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 2 Lester made a few gestures. “Spread out,” he instructed. “You don’t want to be hit by an attack meant for someone else.” That will not save you, Ignium broadcast. For this is our chosen battlefield. We determined the place of combat. And now you will abide our...

    RP XCOM2: Liberation of Earth

    Operation Mortem Ostium, Part 1 The mood was sombre. Nobody spoke, no lighthearted jabs, no playful banter. Merely the sound of weapons clicking as they were checked, rechecked and rechecked again. There could be no room for error. No mistakes. There was only one course that was acceptable...

    I do have plans for after this is all done, including another solo project that probably won't get read by anyone but fuck all of yas I'm doing it anyway. Might not take on anything of this calibre for a while, but I'll be sticking around, giving my thoughts whether you people want them or not.

    Ayy thanks man. Not too bad yourself. I want to say good luck to you all on this. I will not be present, as in the spirit of SoD I will be doing something on my own. Samuel has his own final boss to fight. Once again, good luck. I'll see you pricks on the other side.

    Oh, oh! I love jumping on bandwagons! My problem is that my memory is garbage, so I've forgotten the inspiration for most of my characters. Plus, a large number of my characters tend to echo archetypes or stereotypes rather than specific characters. I can give a few notable examples though...
