Intro
Earth is waging a guerrilla shadow war against aliens attempting to abduct humans piecemeal and incite terror in order to surgically wear humanity down for an inevitable killing blow. The XCOM Project is launched as a united effort by many of the major nations as an elite force to counterattack the extraterrestrials. A division within XCOM is put together, codenamed Valkyrie Division and it consists entirely of women, from computer tech to frontline soldier. The council of nations allocated them their own base, separate from XCOM HQ to conduct what's been labeled as "special operations" for "alternative means" of gathering intel and defeating the alien threat. You are a member of this division.
Setting
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
So this is set in 2015 and there will be a few futuristic aspects but nothing like light sabers. Foreseeable futuristic things, such as laser weapons, power armor (not quite space marines), plasma, genetic alterations, etc. This will be set in different places around the Earth, starting with Canada and the sky is really the limit on where it goes from there. Urban and forest warfare and copious copulating with alien life forms in the field (at least a dozen different types to look forward to!) People will not necessarily start grouped together.

1-4 Major Failure
5-7 Minor Failure with consequences
8-10 Minor Failure
11-13 Minor Success with consequences
14-16 Minor Success
17-20 Major Success
NOTE: A natural roll on the dice of 1 is a critical failure (worst case scenario) and a natural 20 on the dice is a critical success (best case scenario)

Classes
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
These will mostly be for the purpose of combat. If you plan on being "loose" with strategy, I wouldn't worry about this too much. What I list will be their preferred weapon and role in the squad.
Assault: shotguns/assault rifles, point woman (first one in the room, leads the attack), best at close quarters.
Support: Assault rifles/pistols, medic or scouts usually, carries additional support equipment (flash bangs, med kits, smoke grenade, scanners, etc.).
Sniper: Sniper rifles/pistols, gunslinger or long ranged sharpshooters, great at long range, unmatched with a spotter and a high vantage point.
Heavy: Heavy Machine Gun, good for suppression and taking down big targets and groups of small targets, also carry a one-use rocket launcher.

Ranking Up/Base Training
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
When you're back at base, you can choose to focus on one type of training that will result in a temporary bonus on your next mission
1. Practice at the firing range (Aim)
2. Focus on strength training (Strength)
3. Focus on endurance/cardio (Toughness)
4. Focus on Team-building exercises (Will)
5. Focus on personal training (improve a perk - gene mods are not applicable)
You only rank up when I designate that you earned it.
You can have attributes above 4 when using points to rank up. If you want to put your newly earned point in Aim and your aim is 4, that's fine, now your aim is 5. 4 was simply the max for rank 1 XCOM soldiers.
Gene Mods are not subject to increase by ranking up - They stay as they are.
Any questions, feel free to ask. Once you've updated your character sheet to Rank 2 (those who were on the first mission), post here please; a simple "ranked up my sheet" will do.

Perk Selection List (Based on Class]
Tier 1 (For ranks 1 - 3)
Intro: I'm only describing the literal gameplay benefits of these perks, you're all free to figure out how to apply them in roleplay. Some perks will branch out later, others will not. I'm sorry to say you won't be able to see how they branch out right at this moment as it's all a work in progress. Just try to understand that it will all make logical sense. Taking the Quick Reflexes perk will likely give you availability to a perk later regarding being fast or highly reactive.
Assault Class Perks
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
1. Quick Reflexes - The first successful attack by an enemy in an engagement is instead counted as a corresponding failure. (Minor success becomes minor failure, Critical Success becomes Critical Failure)
2. Close Quarters - Your initiative in hand-to-hand is rarely matched. Your first melee attack in an engagement is an automatic success. A d8 with no bonus is rolled to determine the degree of success.
3. Shotgun Expert - You know shotguns better than most. You can never critically fail (aka jam or damage) your shotgun. Critical success can occur on a 19 or 20 when using shotguns rather than just 20.
4. Assault Rifle Expert - You've spent a lot of time with your rifle. You can never critically fail (aka jam or damage) your assault rifle. Critical success can occur on a 19 or 20 when using AR's rather than just 20.
5. Extreme Conditioning - You're tough, even for XCOM soldiers. You receive a +2 bonus to resist poisons, toxins, or alien substances. You automatically succeed on rolls to resist fatigue or weariness within a 24 hour period. The first successful attack against you in an engagement is treated as one degree worse in your favor (Minor success becomes minor failure, Major success becomes minor success).
6. Daredevil - When the going gets tough, you relish the challenge. Whenever you're outnumbered at least two to one, or you're fighting at least two enemies by yourself, you receive a +1 on all rolls.
7. Lead the Way - You're either a bully or the bravest one in your squad. When you're at the front of the group or the first one to enter a room, you receive a free reaction attack against up to one enemy that fires on you, before they get to attack.

Support Class Perks
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
1. Medical Expert - All soldiers know first aid, but you know how to fix them. You can attempt to identify or treat nearly all poisons, toxins, or injuries with appropriate equipment (depending on the injury); difficulty will vary depending on what is being treated.
2. Munitions Monkey - You realize bullets kill enemies, but anything helping those bullets land home is certainly welcome. You specialize in smoke grenades, flash bangs, and other supplementary weaponry to aid the squad. The item list available to you is also bigger, as you've been trained in their use and proper care: gas grenade, mimic beacon, and reaper rounds. You can attempt to make modern munitions in the field as long as you can forage materials (smoke grenades, flash bangs, frag grenades).
3. Team First - You're always looking out for your team, one way or the other. You receive a +2 bonus on all rolls to directly aid allies in any way, shape, or form (not including attacks against enemies).
4. Opportunist - You know how to use openings when you see them. Whenever an enemy is at some kind of disadvantage, your next attack or maneuver, if it requires a roll, you get two rolls and the higher number is the one that's used. There is no limit to how many times this can be used and what determines a disadvantage is up to the GM (such as attacking a prone enemy, an unaware enemy, etc.)
5. Suppression Master - You know how to keep enemies pinned and scared. When you suppress an enemy, the penalties are doubled for those you're suppressing (-2 to aim becomes -4 to aim). In addition, when using an automatic weapon, you can suppress up to two squads at once (rather than one).
6. Sprinter - Your short bursts of legwork are lightning fast. You can outrun any bipedal alien and anyone firing at you while you're moving or retreating receives a -4 to their aim roll. Melee attacks are unaffected.
7. Weapon Expert - Pick one type of weapon (Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols). You can never critically fail (aka jam or damage) with that type of weapon and you can achieve a critical success on a 19 or 20 rather than just a 20.

Heavy Class Perks
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
1. Bullet Swarm - You know how to spray and pray with large, rapidly firing weapons. All successful attacks with miniguns or light machine guns automatically suppress the enemy or enemy squad aimed at.
2. Holo Targeting - You've gained access to higher level heavy weapons technology and have been trained in how to use and care for it. Your primary heavy weapon has a holo-targeting system that makes it easier for any allies to hit an enemy you fired at, regardless of whether or not you actually hit. +2 Aim for your allies against opponents you fired againt at some point during an engagement.
3. Demolitionist - Your skill with explosive weaponry is masterful. You've tweaked your rockets and grenades to be almost twice as powerful and have nearly twice the kill radius. Also, you get a +2 on your rolls regarding the use of explosive weaponry.
4. Walking Tank - You're used to the heavy armor given to your military specialty and have adapted to the weight incredibly well. Your movement isn't impaired by your equipment and you're immune to critical attacks by light weaponry (pistols, rifles, shotguns), but not melee weaponry, heavy weapons, or explosives.
5. Grenadier - Unlike a demolitionist who specializes in explosives, you specialize in grenades, including specialty grenades. In addition to having access to smoke grenades, flash bangs, and frag grenades, you can also deploy with needle grenades and gas grenades. You can carry 10 grenades total, divided up however you wish before a mission.
6. Machine Gunner - You've spent extra time training and specializing with the Heavy class mainstay - the rapid firing machine gun. You can never critically fail when firing a machine gun (aka jam or break) and you achieve a critical success on a 19 or 20 rather than just a 20.

Sniper Class Perks
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
1. Gunslinger - You're training with two pistols is extensive and frankly, you're just that damn cool. You receive a +1 Aim when firing two pistols at once and this compounds for firing at the same target (for a net bonus +2 when shooting at one target).
2. Agent - You've received infiltration and singular weapon training. Whenever you use a single weapon while leaving the other hand free, you receive a +1 Aim. You also receive a +2 on rolls when attempting to infiltrate or otherwise remain hidden.
3. Deadshot - When you have time to aim, you will never miss. If you spend a round (or a single post) taking aim at a single target, the next shot will receive a +4 Aim and you will have a critical success if the total is 20 or higher after adding your Aim attribute as well (rather than needing to roll a natural 20 on the dice).
4. Disabler - Your extensive weapons knowledge allows you to disable even alien weaponry. You receive a +4 on Aim rolls to disable, damage, or otherwise disarm weapons with your own firearm.
5. Rifle Expert - You have spent countless hours learning the ins and outs of your sniper rifle. You cannot critically fail when using a sniper rifle (aka jam or damage) and you achieve critical success on a roll of 19 or 20 rather than just a 20.
6. Pistol Expert - You know hand guns better than most men know their wives. You cannot critically fail when using a sniper rifle (aka jam or damage) and you achieve critical success on a roll of 19 or 20 rather than just a 20.
7. Lone Wolf - You've learn to be self-sufficient and survive even without teammates. When on your own in the wilderness, you automatically succeed on rolls for survival (building a campfire, finding food or fresh water, crafting crude weapons, etc). You've also learned to channel your survival instincts; as they say, the animal is most dangerous when wounded. If you are ever cornered, outnumbered, and injured (hurt, intoxicated, or otherwise debilitated), you receive a +4 on all rolls for the duration of the engagement.

Miscellaneous Perks (Mostly of the roleplay nature)
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
1. Gregarious - You are talkative, charismatic, and good with people. When convincing, persuading, lying, or otherwise socially manipulating NPCs, you will be allowed a roll in which you can add a +4 to determine how successful you are in your conversation, with the chance of success varying depending on what is being done.
2. Mechanic - You are a grease monkey and likely proud of it. You can attempt to operate, fix, repair, and possibly build modern mechanical devices. Later, another perk may open for you to operate advanced mechanized devices.
3. Pilot - You've soared the high skies in many different jets, planes, and helicopters. You can operate and make minor mechanical fixes on aircraft.
4. Martial Artist - You have been trained in the finer echelons of hand-to-hand combat. You receive a +4 on melee attack rolls with humans and other bipedal creatures not more than three times bigger than you.

Alien Index (will expand as aliens are encountered... kind of like a pokedex I guess!)
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Sectoid - http://tf3dm.com/imgd/l81910-sectoid-soldier-95212.jpg
4 1/2ft tall, weakest kind, always travel in groups, possess some psychic ability, only carry plasma pistols. Recent reports say they've evolved 9 inch phallic members.
Muton - http://s.cghub.com/files/Image/327001-328000/327527/520_max.jpg
8ft tall, made of pure muscle, sometimes travel in groups, other times act as leaders among lesser aliens like sectoids. The main frontline infantry of the alien invaders. Under their crotch plates, which can detach with a single button on their armor, is a 15 inch thick member.
Seeker - http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130901044844/xcom/images/0/0b/XCOM_EW_Seeker.png
A half-metal hovering octopus, it has the power to cloak and become completely unseeable to the naked eye. It has long tentacles that have phallic tips that impregnate or poison an individual. It also uses its cloaking power and tentacles to asphyxiate enemies.
Floater -http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140117230703/xcom/images/thumb/e/e1/Concept_-_Floater.jpg/500px-Concept_-_Floater.jpg
A flying torso, half-metal half-flesh, it has incredible maneuverability from its jetpack and is usually tries to flank an enemy, or more recently, to snatch. It has three tentacles that come out of its back to "pleasure" or "torture" (depending on who you ask) whomever it manages to grab.
Chrysalid - (http://s.pro-gmedia.com/videogamer/media/images/pub/large/xcomchrysalid.jpg)
A four legged stalking-melee creature about 7ft tall, it seems animalistic in nature and the debate is still going whether or not it has intelligence. It has incredible speed and strength and some reports have allocated that men killed by this creature return as walking, cannibalistic, corpses, but these new chrysalids seem more intent on breeding human women and the end result of this is still unknown.
Berserker - (http://images.wikia.com/xcom/images/archive/6/6f/20121025045057!Concept_-_Berserker.jpg)
These massive muton-looking creatures are a full foot taller than their green armored counterparts at 9ft and they have seemingly extraordinary strength and toughness, capable of taking anti-armor rounds to the face and heart and still fighting on. They have been seen to tear vehicles in half and run straight through concrete walls without slowing. Their only weapon are their gauntlets which produce three-pronged two foot long claws. They've been much more known for their recent rape escapades, using incredibly thick cocks that top out at nearly 2ft in length and they fuck with absolute animal rage and fury.
Thin Man - (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120612205520/xcom/images/a/a1/Thinman.jpg)
These human-looking aliens are often used to infiltrate and scout before a major attack, almost seamlessly blending in at a glance and they're the only aliens with a full head of hair.
They're 6ft tall, always wear suits, and only carry plasma pistols. Reports have shown that when they die, their bodies instantly decompose into a cloud of poisonous gas. However, even more recent reports have shown they have 11 inch long and thick penises under their suits and when they die, it's no longer poisonous gas. It's a toxin that causes those nearby to reach uncontrollable levels of lust and arousal.
Hybrid - These come from mating between a human female and an alien. Their powers and abilities vary depending on which alien the human female mated with, but they are humanoid-like and otherwise seem completely human except for a lack of body air and varying skin colors.
Cyberdisk - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2013 ... erdisc.png
An immense hulk of machine and flesh that comically looks like a car-sized flying saucer with its hovering capability. However, when in firing mode, it opens up and unleashes its main rapid fire plasma guns. It also possesses artillery capability and explodes upon death.
Elite Muton - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140122200054/xcom/images/e/e3/XCOM(EU)_MutonElite.png
These mutons are the creme of the crop. Bigger than normal mutons and as big as berserkers, their skill and toughness is nearly unmatched. Their immense strength allows them to use their favorite plasma cannon with one hand when necessary. They're usually only found protecting sectoid commanders or ethereals; if you run into elite mutons, there's a chance an ethereal is around.
Ethereal - http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/u ... an_05a.jpg
The highest ranking alien known to XCOM forces. Their physical power is next to nothing judging by their frail bodies, but their psychic ability is unparalleled. Reports have shown soldiers being turned to shoot one another, by the whim of an ethereal, and it can also lift single, possibly multiple, bodies or soldiers at a time. Their psychic whiplashes have caused soldiers to have critical aneurisms and die outright. It has also been reported that they can directly reflect a certain amount of firepower back at enemies.
Mechtoid - http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2014 ... tNight.png
The half-machine half-sectoid stands about 10ft tall and crouches to enter through the doorway. Both of its arms are massive plasma rail guns combined with incredible mechanical strength. Sectoids and other semi-psychics can mentally enhance the mechtoid's combat capability by forming a telekinetic shield against gunfire and melee attacks, as well as super-charging its rail guns.
Outsider - http://www.ufopaedia.org/images/2/20/Outsider_(EU2012).jpg
These aliens stand a little over six feet in height and are made of pure energy and steel. XCOM is unsure whether the construct is actually alive or not, but it is known that Outsiders captain lesser scout ships and more or less act as corporals or sergeants among the lesser aliens, such as sectoids. They provide a psychic link to higher ranked aliens, such as sectoid commanders and ethereals. More or less, it is a skilled soldier with a conduit to the greater war plan that it relays to those beneath them.

(Yes, this is the amount of different alien types, though 3 or 4 are just slight variations)
Sectoid - http://tf3dm.com/imgd/l81910-sectoid-soldier-95212.jpg
4 1/2ft tall, weakest kind, always travel in groups, possess some psychic ability, only carry plasma pistols. Recent reports say they've evolved 9 inch phallic members.
Muton - http://s.cghub.com/files/Image/327001-328000/327527/520_max.jpg
8ft tall, made of pure muscle, sometimes travel in groups, other times act as leaders among lesser aliens like sectoids. The main frontline infantry of the alien invaders. Under their crotch plates, which can detach with a single button on their armor, is a 15 inch thick member.
Seeker - http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130901044844/xcom/images/0/0b/XCOM_EW_Seeker.png
A half-metal hovering octopus, it has the power to cloak and become completely unseeable to the naked eye. It has long tentacles that have phallic tips that impregnate or poison an individual. It also uses its cloaking power and tentacles to asphyxiate enemies.
Floater -http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140117230703/xcom/images/thumb/e/e1/Concept_-_Floater.jpg/500px-Concept_-_Floater.jpg
A flying torso, half-metal half-flesh, it has incredible maneuverability from its jetpack and is usually tries to flank an enemy, or more recently, to snatch. It has three tentacles that come out of its back to "pleasure" or "torture" (depending on who you ask) whomever it manages to grab.
Chrysalid - (http://s.pro-gmedia.com/videogamer/media/images/pub/large/xcomchrysalid.jpg)
A four legged stalking-melee creature about 7ft tall, it seems animalistic in nature and the debate is still going whether or not it has intelligence. It has incredible speed and strength and some reports have allocated that men killed by this creature return as walking, cannibalistic, corpses, but these new chrysalids seem more intent on breeding human women and the end result of this is still unknown.
Berserker - (http://images.wikia.com/xcom/images/archive/6/6f/20121025045057!Concept_-_Berserker.jpg)
These massive muton-looking creatures are a full foot taller than their green armored counterparts at 9ft and they have seemingly extraordinary strength and toughness, capable of taking anti-armor rounds to the face and heart and still fighting on. They have been seen to tear vehicles in half and run straight through concrete walls without slowing. Their only weapon are their gauntlets which produce three-pronged two foot long claws. They've been much more known for their recent rape escapades, using incredibly thick cocks that top out at nearly 2ft in length and they fuck with absolute animal rage and fury.
Thin Man - (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120612205520/xcom/images/a/a1/Thinman.jpg)
These human-looking aliens are often used to infiltrate and scout before a major attack, almost seamlessly blending in at a glance and they're the only aliens with a full head of hair.
They're 6ft tall, always wear suits, and only carry plasma pistols. Reports have shown that when they die, their bodies instantly decompose into a cloud of poisonous gas. However, even more recent reports have shown they have 11 inch long and thick penises under their suits and when they die, it's no longer poisonous gas. It's a toxin that causes those nearby to reach uncontrollable levels of lust and arousal.
Hybrid - These come from mating between a human female and an alien. Their powers and abilities vary depending on which alien the human female mated with, but they are humanoid-like and otherwise seem completely human except for a lack of body air and varying skin colors.
Cyberdisk - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2013 ... erdisc.png
An immense hulk of machine and flesh that comically looks like a car-sized flying saucer with its hovering capability. However, when in firing mode, it opens up and unleashes its main rapid fire plasma guns. It also possesses artillery capability and explodes upon death.
Elite Muton - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140122200054/xcom/images/e/e3/XCOM(EU)_MutonElite.png
These mutons are the creme of the crop. Bigger than normal mutons and as big as berserkers, their skill and toughness is nearly unmatched. Their immense strength allows them to use their favorite plasma cannon with one hand when necessary. They're usually only found protecting sectoid commanders or ethereals; if you run into elite mutons, there's a chance an ethereal is around.
Ethereal - http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/u ... an_05a.jpg
The highest ranking alien known to XCOM forces. Their physical power is next to nothing judging by their frail bodies, but their psychic ability is unparalleled. Reports have shown soldiers being turned to shoot one another, by the whim of an ethereal, and it can also lift single, possibly multiple, bodies or soldiers at a time. Their psychic whiplashes have caused soldiers to have critical aneurisms and die outright. It has also been reported that they can directly reflect a certain amount of firepower back at enemies.
Mechtoid - http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2014 ... tNight.png
The half-machine half-sectoid stands about 10ft tall and crouches to enter through the doorway. Both of its arms are massive plasma rail guns combined with incredible mechanical strength. Sectoids and other semi-psychics can mentally enhance the mechtoid's combat capability by forming a telekinetic shield against gunfire and melee attacks, as well as super-charging its rail guns.
