Maybe we can do an alien base assault where the queen is housed at some point.If we do the Cryssalid Queen thing, let me know, I did come up with it after all.
Also I need to check this site more often... I'm getting really behind :/

His XCOM database piece by itself is kinda suspicious...no background, no hometown, mysterious scars, unexplained PTSD.
If he is a spy then EXALT did a bad job of making him seem legit, if he's not then he should probably disclose more if he wants them to trust him. (I will be critical only because I don't want our staff to turn into an unlikely bunch of people that got in through ambiguous means, earth might well be doomed. I don't want to be mean though)
I probably could have explained in more detail that is one of my faults, but basically his whole bio is from the perspective of a psychologist and even though desmond was kind of hard pressed for information the superiors thought that the info given had been enough and that his backround was not as important as his skills, also he has connections that helped the process along, but he is undoubtably under close supervision.

The one thing that might affect the role-play is the mention of psionics since the first humans to possess psionic abilities are the ones who pass psionic testing at the HQ.
I do think that backgrounds should at least be a little detailed, even if they're forged. However, it is also important to remember that, during the in game cutscene, the G-Man from the counsel refers to EXALT as a 'new threat', so while X-COM would obviously be worried about leaks in general, they wouldn't be thinking of anyone in mind.
That being said, once EXALT does make itself known, those people with ambiguous background will be under suspicion, so while you could get in with such a ccharacte, there is always a chance they could be booted out once paranoia sets in. Don't be surprised if a brand of McCarthyism rears it's ugly head.

I talked with ZS about it and she said it was fine just as long as it was kept under control. the powers I have given to him were limited and will serve a purpose in the story
And that is what i was hoping someone would say I will send you a pm since you are the GM about what I had in mind but it can only take effect once that point in the story has happened

Hey Zombie, you said that your first character has to have Combat experience right? By Combat experience do you mean Military or just Combat Training in general?

Replying so that isn't missed.
Posted my bio, I may have gone a bit overboard but...whatever. *scratches head*

Yeah, I'd prefer at least some experience, but I don't expect a team of Solid Snakes. X-Com will be looking for the best of the best, but that doesn't mean they'll get everyone on the top of the list. In fact, for the Commander's bio, I'll be mentioning that they weren't the first pick, but rather the first pick that said yes.
Wait how many EXALT agents will we have I thought we only had one it would look suspicious if there was more than one.

I said I was going to be an Exalt Agent for a while now.
We have two. I approved of two because, with such a large and powerful organization as X-COM, I found it more unlikely that EXALT would only have one mole. After all, if that single mole were to be found out, then they'd have no one left.

Are we going to start in the middle of 1018 or are we beginning around January?

Why don't we start on March 1st, like the game.

Sounds good to me.
About to post the second bio! This one didn't take me as long, thank goodness.
I'm finished with the alien's character sheets, though I'm not entirely sure where to put them. Putting them on the main Role Playing page would be a bit too encumbersome. I'll probably start another forum just for them, though I'm not entirely sure how. Never had to do it before.
