I know, right? So many people on, talking in the think tank, and posting like crazy. I don't expect it to be like this every day, but this is what I wanted to see. Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. This is what it's all about.
So, Sir Splitter of at least 53 Zombies, I am intrigued by this new RP you proposed. But if I might inquire as to the theme or type of RP this will be, I might find myself ever more interested.
Sincerely yours,

Oh, I am ever so glad you asked. I was afraid either nobody saw that post, or nobody cared.
Well, it shall be a Fantasy based universe, my own original world, and it will have strong horror themes, inspired from such sources as Silent Hill, H.P. Lovecraft, and the darker side of fantasy stories.

Hmm... sounds like a pretty awesome RP. Is it high-fantasy, or low?Oh, I am ever so glad you asked. I was afraid either nobody saw that post, or nobody cared.

Hay I always love a good fantasy story, would be interesting to see.
Um... I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those terms, sorry.

High fantasy means lots of magic, low fantasy means magic is rare (especially for player characters) in layman's terms.
Oh, um...
Human (Most common race): 15%
Elves: 30%
Thropes: 20%
Netzi: 2%
Ophidians: 10%
Vampire: 30%
Faerie: 50%
Would this be considered high or low?

Seems like medium to me.
Cool. Medium it is.
Thanks.Noice! Consider me a potential RPer for it.

Well it sounds incredibly fun and I personally wouldn't mind trying out a more classical fantasy world.
I won't write much more on the subject. After all, I don't want to imply that I am using time better spent on XCOM posts to work on something that won't be relevant for some time. I will, however, share a race of beings I made myself. Gem helped a with the original inspiration, though, and I thank him for that.Well it sounds incredibly fun and I personally wouldn't mind trying out a more classical fantasy world.
The Netzi are a race of rather small beings (usually topping off at three feet) that resemble anthropomorphic beavers, with plush bodies, short arms and legs, four toes on each foot and three fingers and a thumb on each hand, head to toe fur of various shades of brown and red, a large, flat black tail, little bat-like wings, large rabbit-like ears, and a pair of furry antennae. The Netzi seemed to simply appear in the world a few thousand years ago, and not even they know where they came from, though the Netzi believe they were a gift of the World gods to give the world technology to combine with the world’s magic, giving the people a fighting chance to survive. Their lifespan is 100 years. Netzi tend to use the Doloran common language in a very simple, even childish manner if they’re not used to using it, which makes them sound simple-minded. In reality, this is the result of their own language being so incredibly complicated, including a mix of spoken words, tones, inflections, body language, subtle pronunciation variances, and minor telepathy, that going from the to the much simpler Doloran is difficult without practice. Netzi are in fact incredibly intelligent, engineering seeming to be written into their very blood. Having no nation of their own, they live among other races, building, maintaining, and inventing. While the Netzi have well above average intelligence, they have average constitution and willpower, and below average physical strength, magical strength, and dexterity. One might think this low strength is the reason why they never participate in any large conflicts or wars, but it is simply that they are conscientious objectors that prefer not to take sides. They are willing, and able, to fight should they need to, such as against the forces of darkness, as the Netzi are masters in building of Golems and magical constructs. While all Netzi are capable of an unconscious, unknown magic that allows them the fly with their tiny wings, other than that, less than 2% of Netzi can use elemental magic, and only ever the four basic elements.

I'm still on for collabs today, but word of warning: I may be acting irrational at times. I actually didn't fall asleep whatsoever so I'm operating off of zero sleep. I might end up napping or something midday but for now I'm just running off of elerium-infused fumes.

By the way, if anyone wants their soldier (particularlly a Ranger or Juggernaut, maybe a Grenadier) to have Hellweave instead of a Nanoscale Vest, here's the differences:
Nanoscale Vest: +1 AP, +1 DR
Hellweave: +2 DR, Sets Melee Attackers on Fire
Overall Hellweave is probably marginally better but not all classes benefit from the special effect so Engineering won't produce copies of it for everyone currently wearing a vest instead of tactical rigging.

Ayame?
