X-COM RP THINK TANK (part2)

[MarineAvenger]

So operaton Lupine Vanguard is done, and Ashley shows that she gives zero fucks about the aliens.

Isnt this....okay, may I just bring up a point that Ashley did a colab with Avarita stating that the Ethereals may not be all that bad and that whether they liked itnor not she would change them...where the hell did this 180 come from? Was this ever explain or am I just missing the memo here?

So, you finally managed to sneak a Stand in here, Gem? But then again, I suppose Atka's psi helixes are effectively Hermit Purple...

She does still care about the Etherals, but some time has passed since then. And during that time she's been neck deep in bounties getting her family in position, so during that time Ashley stopped caring about the aliens. Sorry but I never did mention it

So The Overseer was Penny's Father...

I don't know how I didn't see that coming... Seems really obvious in hindsight.

That was the plan. Of course, it kinda takes away the options for "Who's that pokemon" when I've only got about 4, which is why part of me wishes I'd done the Overseer anonymously or something. The familial connection is the default option too (Thank you George Lucas). I had to work a bit to even get any of you to consider otherwise. None of you are stupid, after all.

Wait, you mean you didn't know that? I think that was established from the very beginning.

Which is exactly what I'm talking about.

I'll probably get a list together of the various hints and misdirections I did for funzies, but later. When I have power back. For now, I'm just gonna keep going on my recently charged batteries and start finishing up my own final thing.

In something TOTALLY UNRELATED TO THAT FINAL THING I SWEAR is there any final objection to me picking a psionic NPC from the list and assuming direct control of them briefly? I promise there will be no earth-shattering revelations about their past, I only need them for their abilities since I wanted to be different and not have a psion amongst any of my characters.

Anyone in particular in mind?

Anyone in particular in mind?

Not really. I don't currently have access to the list anyway. As I said the first time I brought this up, they merely need to be capable of holding the dreamscape.

Might be better if I ask this question: are there any psionic soldiers in particular that you wouldn't be ok with me using?

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

You can use Alicia, if you'd like. She's a purple psion, so she should be able to use a dreamscape. She as an... average personality, a good blend of seriousness and optimism.

Finally caught up with all the post yesterday. Good stuff, all around. Love Fox's new name.

Again, sorry I dropped out the way I did yesterday. I'd be lying if I said I wad feeling a whole lot better today, but I should be well enough to do a few collabs after work (might need to take a quick nap after work, though).

Just as a reminder, finish up those story lines. And please let me know when you are all set, in case we finish earlier then Sunday. For my part, unless something pressing comes to mind, that post yesterday was probably my last character-development post, so I hope you enjoyed. Of course, still willing to do collabs.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Two more solos left for me, likely will have one up today or Saturday, and the other on Friday for certain.

Open to any final collabs.

I also wanted you guys to know I'm not pushing you guys because I'm tired of this, or frustrated, or anything like that. I love doing this. I'm just setting a time line because at least two people have already informed me that they have a vacation this summer once school lets out, and I want everyone to be here for the final missions and epilogue.

Note that, for anyone who wishes to continue, I plan on starting something new, likely a continuation of this of sorts, after a break ('cause I do need a short break, and I don't want to interrupt anyone's vacation). As for the few hanging around here with nothing to do... I'll think of something. Maybe something really, really short involving zombies done over the docs. I know a few things about them, and I have some dice lying around.

I will see...I am pretty sure we aren't going anywhere till August so...Shrug

 

[DarkGemini24601]

I mean, I have something at the beginning of summer and something near the end. So I would vouch for waiting until the summer is over for starting continuations, but if we wanna start after my two week break trip, we can, just know I'm disappearing into a film camp for another two weeks later on, so my colony RP would fall into hiatus, my other characters inactive.

 

[Frostlich1228]

The Epilogue is finally up!

Tell me what you thought of the mission guys

 

[DarkGemini24601]

And I'm off to write the Exalts solo! See you on the other side in an hour or two. *steels self and gets to work*

 

[MarineAvenger]

It is official, I have ruined several relationships between my characters and Zombies and it seems I royally screwed up this time...come see the drama I unleashed...this shit is brutal.

Spoiler: Don't read until you have read the colab...seriously.

MARINE WINS EVERYTIME!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOO! YEAH! THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!

GOD DAMMIT MARINE! For once, you're right. That post was clever, witty, and downright amazing. Funny and Winner deserved, and someone better throw a creative in there as well.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

And a poignant confrontation between two doubters of the path. I hope my final Exalt/Legion solo measures up to the two awesome posts preceding it. Enjoy!

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Both parts posted, don't miss them.

I'll stop being obnoxious with my triple posting now.

For once? Why I aughta! Runs at Gem but is dragged away by the community Let me at em, I can take him!

 

[Taxor_the_First]

Who's up for a bit of Inception?

And with that, I am done. All my plot is out, everything that would play out has done so. Before anyone asks, the whole "Lester" thing is not something I'm going to keep going with (that's like 2 days to think up a nemesis! You have to be joking!). Maybe if we do go with whatever Zombie has planned for a post-XCOM thing, I'll bring it back up, but until then that's pretty much GG from me.

Unless...
