X-COM RP THINK TANK (part2)

[DarkGemini24601]

There we go, I finished my two characters, and I am very pleased with them. I might do a report from a medical/psychiatric exam, but then again that might be for commander viewing only like certain parts of their bios.

(By the way, sorry that they're two posts each, they seemed too long for one post per character just because of how bulky the personal history parts were)

 

[DarkGemini24601]

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.

They look really good, only have two suggestions, one of them important and one minor
1. You might want to specify what some of the stats mean, particularly the four under the dexterity/intelligence/etc.
2. Vahlen mentions that thin men are navigators and that's why we get an airspace bonus from them, they might have more than 2 in Navigation but that's REALLY minor.

No, I was going to ask for suggestions once I get them all up, so I appreciate it. I've made the changes for the latter, and I'll edit the first post to include the former once I'm done.

Ah, got ahead of myself. I can already tell from the quality of these that this is going to be a very interesting rp, and that makes me feel justified for putting a lot of effort into my soldiers.

*Modya pulls out a cigarette and lights it, only adding to the awkward silence with the glowing tip of the the cigarette puffing smoke.*

Okay Mine's Up! :3

I wanted to use this character for season 5 but I was a little worried that it would break the no special powers rule even though her implant doesn't let her do anything special. :/

I almost always have my computer, so I'm almost always 'here', so to speak.

I love it! Ammelia is a very unique character, and the bio was concisely and carefully written. I do see your concern about season 5, since although it's not going to give her an advantage, Odd might have seen the whole situation surrounding her implants as science that shouldn't be there if he was being picky.

(I probably should have mentioned people's families, but...I guess you'll find out more about them via interaction, I hid a lot of personal information anyway to make room for meaningful interaction and discovery, so I guess not having too much info on the parents and family isn't the worst thing for me personally.)

In short, look up at the cat above for my thoughts on Ammelia's bio.

Is this your focus or are you planning on doing dual characters, FL?

Wouldn't it be a twisst if the company was being funded by EXALT that would would put a spanner in the works

Dual Characters? Can you Explain? :/

Sorry, tried to sound fancy. I meant are you doing one character or two? XD

Oh

Yeah, to be honest, I don't like the appearance of bugs (I don't hate insects, I just think they're ugly), with the possible exception of certain butterflies and moths (as long as you don't look at them close up), but even I admit they have a certain je ne sais quoi to them, and if I remember correctly, Vahlen mentions them having a captivating quality during the autopsy.

Commander: What do ya mean your docking our budget for every EXALT mission we win?

Yeah, I looked it up and you're right.

Sectopod Sports (Football Tackle)

Should I be amused or scared?

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

Should I be amused or scared?

A little of both. I always found it strange that you could run up to a sectopod in the game and it would try to shoot you instead of just stepping on you.
