Xcom (OOC)

[Jezebel1669]

Ooops! My bad, i thought you had that stunner. And why did i miss it that you were an assault soldier...
So what now?

Ironside gains a defence boost when close to enemies (4 squares in the game) so its better for her to charge forwards to gain the advantage.

Her kinetic strike module (Power Fist) can cause extreme damage in close range to practically anything, including most buildings, so that compliments the shielding well, but she'd need to back away from the Sectopods when they're about to blow to prevent taking damage from them.

She has the grenade launcher to at least keep the enemy hunkered down in cover while she closes the distance, and her vital-point targeting system means that practically every shot she makes counts as a critical hit.

Along with that she has the Collateral Damage ability, which means she can clear away all cover in front of her to prevent the buggers from hiding from the squad's attacks.

Thank you Jezebel for answers that make this thread workable... ...You've given me a few ideas.

You're welcome. A good backstory should always be littered with plot hooks to work from.

I hope the situation at the western outskirt of the city is understandable to everyone.

Stuff's gone bad in a hurry and you need heavy fire-power to kill it while our rescue operator in a stealth suit got caught with her pants down and are having sex while the guys think that they are raping her?

Do I still have the story-line so far?

Great different timezone.
What time is it in your part of lit

 

[TertiusHuman]

When I get time.

Usually I'm not around during the week, Fridays I try my level best to catch up and Sundays I am here a bit. During the week I try to keep on-track and reply on my cellphone while I'm on the farm.

That never seize to amaze me.

Why are you so amazed by time difference?

You should play The Wrestling Game, now THAT will blow your mind. You speak to people from all around the globe and the time differences are huge

Not that i'm not aware of such drastic changes and their cause, but it just always leave me baffled when i hear them.

I was working for some Japanese recently and they'd be calling me at 4AM thinking I'd be just as wide awake and active as they were. XD

By the way guys, if any of you want to jump in to take over the roles of Carlos or the other goons in the rape house, feel free to make full use of the facilities.

Well some interesting posts, but does my character concept meet with approval? A hunter back to basics type surviving in the Northern Wilderness. With the added information I like the idea of hunting aliens. If we all remember classic X-com and the current edition isn't much different there is a lot of empty space. Mostly cities and farms with no suburbs then just vast empty spaces. Wouldn't even have to wonder into ruins. Would you all meet me while on another mission or perhaps I make contact somehow. Just throwing out ideas.

 

[Jezebel1669]

I'm moving the battle along and getting Ironside up close and personal with the Mutons. She and Mr P have taken down one of the Sectopods and the other is heavily damage, waiting for one of you guys to score the kill, or for the GM to have it turn round and shoot Ironside in the back, blasting off her armour and leaving her squishy insides to be raped by the Muton soldiers as the rest of you whip out the popcorn and video cameras.

I've no problem with you being a survivor linking up with X-COM, but what special abilities would you bring to the party which would make them want to immediately recruit you for their front-line team, rather than just making you another of the marine grunts guarding the Acid Queen?

 

[JawnKarTurr]

I will think on that....but do you like Wolverine?

Please don't make an invincible guy with metal bones

You might want to check out the genetic toys X-COM has in its closet to give yourself a boost or two.

Name: Flint McShane
Age: 36
Place of Birth: Anchorage, Alaska (Mother had him county jail)
Rank:N/A
Class: Assault
Physical description: 6'2" Blue eyes rough unshaven look, black hair, heavily scared from plasma blasts and medical experiments.

History: In his early 20's Flint was taken by aliens and was subjected to a number of horrible experiments by the aliens. It was more of a personnel betrayal since he and others were traded to aliens by infiltrators. The exact purpose of the experiments wasn't known, but it seemed the aliens wanted to see how far they could push human subjects and see what modifications they could tolerate.

Many died painful deaths along the way, but when Flint survived he was a very different man. Neural Damping kept him from their mind control something they were hoping to change. His Depth Perception improved so well that he could lay out a room in his head or shot dead on with little effort. The Adrenal Neurosympathy made him strong and violent in combat like the mutants, and Adaptive Bone Marrow seemed to help his healing process. Also in general he began to age slower.

He and others were released on an alien hunting preserve which in a different time would have been a swath of land that crossed the US/Canada border. Overgrown with pine trees and only empty square building framers the aliens hunted modified indigenous stock as well as imported animals. Flint didn't play their game very long though.

He killed a number of aliens and went off reservation exploring the vast areas of wilderness. Now he makes his home in the vast emptiness living in caves and other hidden shelters he's built. He understand their weapons systems and has gone back to basics with others. He's had very little human contact and is like an animal in captivity newly released. He'd probably be interested in embracing any cause that kills the aliens though.

Equipment: 1 Osprey (Plasma sniper rifle takes regular alien rifle magazines, used by the aliens for hunting), Reaper skin coat and leggings, Belt that holds six pistol magazines, 1 plasma pistol, 1 one large pouch, 1 Gray Wolf he rescued named Timber, One long knife.

Works for me.

Bones: "So... this grey wolf of yours..."

Ironside: "NO! Bad girl! Down!"
