Also, as I've hinted to before, I might be using two NPCs from time to time that I haven't been able to use in previous seasons, a scientist and an engineer. Do you guys want me to post their bios, or would that just cause confusion. They're probably not necessary, but I do have them available.

Consider that one of Zain's characters is a scientist, he just tagged it as such at the top of his post. Maybe in bold say "Scientist" or "Engineer" but if you want to use one or both of them I think it'd be okay to post them after the commander's entry.

Well, they wouldn't technically be full fledged characters, just NPCs, but I guess I don't see how it would hurt. Besides, there is no way the second character would ever be allowed in any Role Play anyway, so what other chance will I have to use them.

You know, I actually don't regret not really being a part of Squee's LP, having looked at the roleplaying section after a gap of 1-2 weeks. There were only 5-10 new entries, not much happens there, whether it be due to a lack of time, interest, or a lot of time being spent polishing posts, I don't know.

(Pretty sure he ignored my application or it won't get noticed for awhile anyway, so I may just let someone else have my spot if I'm still on the list to focus on this)

The Commander's bio is up. Please give me feedback, questions, comments, and concerns if you have any.

I love her! She has a very unique appearance and you added a lot of detail to help with that, her backstory is interesting but without being too over the top, also I think that her aggressive personality will make for lots of tension between her and the soldiers. (Also, Awesome Dark souls 2 reference! If I can owe my tendency to overanalyze everything to any game, it would be Dark Souls :p )

( Also Sorry for posting these so late, I you guys just write so fast :p )

I really like how you handled Jessica's/Alexia's split personality, it's rare you get to see them working in tandem rather than being at odds all the time.

Thank you, and thank you.

The aggressive personality is partially to contrast other Commander's who are unsure of their role and lack confidence.

And the way the personality works is partially to contrast with the typical "dueling minds" story.

Down with the cliches! :p (Where they are unjustified or not needed.)

Hey Zombie I have a question, everyone seems to be posting the Bios for both their character's immediately, but what do we do if we want our 2nd character to join X-com later in the story?

It would probably be best if we wait until they're on base to post the bios. There is no reason you can't post it now, but if they aren't on base, then the bio wouldn't be necessary yet.

Finally finished the final bio on my engineer. If you started reading it before I finished, please check it out again to make sure you read the whole thing.

Very intriguing...I take it Sunny's not entirely good at interacting with people still though, but she will be someone that the personnel probably find themselves interested in due to her unusual qualifications and age.
I certainly see why you couldn't do this elsewhere though. xD Among the conspiracy with P.S. and her insane intelligence, yeah...so it's a good thing you included her here.

I like her, the format you used for her bio is unique, sort of like an X-Com agent is piecing all these events together
to find out who she is, but other than her history we don't know much about her other than she is Shy and Extremely Intelligent, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with her. :)

A question about tomorrow: Are we supposed to already be recruited or know about XCOM the week before the invasion, or do we only figure out about it and get hired/conscripted after the fact?

(I have a project to do after school so I probably need to write an entry this evening so I can just post it tomorrow in the new thread.)

I would mostly be afraid that her age would exclude her. And as far as personnel being interested in her, if there is anything I learned from the season three version of Ayame, the more introverted and anti-social a character is, the more people want to interact with them.
