XCOM: Horny Valkyries OOC

[Soru]

Man, the other guys are going to be mad at us for doing 5 pages of posts.

[eaenidu]

whoops?

[Alaena]

Anyway, luckily your two stories are separate from them? I hope everybody forgives us! My hours are just weird, so um PSA to those people! Most of those posts are separate from everybody else in the RP, so don't get stressed out about it

[Soru]

It's not really that, but people like to be able to see their last post when posting. But don't worry, they shouldn't really get too mad.

[Alaena]

Then for those concerned, the story most people were involved in left off at page 3, but the last post by the last person in the main group was by Meep and it left off at page 4.

I'd create a character for the reserve list but it looks like this might move a little to fast for me to be able to play which is a shame I really like X-Com.

Anyway I was bored so I made a character if a spot opens up I'll attempt to play once my point on the reservation list hits hopefully I can keep up.

Bio:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Serena was born and grew up on a base in Canada under the shadow of her parents who specialized in engineering of all kinds her families work often heralded as some of the best in the world, which in turn forced a lot of pressure on Serena as to what kind of technical gifts she would bestow on the world; as such Serena was forced into various fields of technology as scientist studied her trying to find the one right for her after countless years there was no sound conclusion even though Serena displayed interest in various tech none of them seemed to click with her which left her to become a regular solider in the military as she was abandoned by her parents with their high expectation for their daughter. Becoming a solider made Serena very patriotic for her country, so when the invasion begun she fought the best she could working on defense vehicles and fighting back the threat, eventually becoming a rather good mechanic and solider something which was noticed by X-COM leading them to bringing her into the program as a general mechanic on missions.

Character:
Flaw: Submissive- time spent under her parent’s boot and scientist ordering her around has made Serena quite compliant with other’s demands.
Flaw: Tech Nut- Due to her past Serena is fascinated by all types of technology and will go so far as to abandon a fight if it means she gets to explore and learn
about new tech.
Flaw: Naïve- Serena is naïve to a fault and will believe whatever people tell her without question no matter how absurd it is.
Flaw: Lethargic- Serena is always tired though it doesn’t get in the way much she generally can’t follow orders well which tends to work against her on battlefield as her attention either falters or she’ll fall asleep at critical times.

Upside: People Lover- Serena loves people causing her to work a little harder when she knows she has people depending on her and will work harder the better she knows them.
Upside: Trust- Serena tends to harbor deep faith in her comrades and is almost always ready to follow them into the fray no matter how bleak the situation looks.
Equipment: Semi-automatic shotgun, semi-automatic pistol, standard issue armor, Mechanic’s tool belt etc.

(If any of this needs to be changed for whatever reason let me know)

Sanaki and Tsai, both good. Goryo, I appreciate your knowledge of the game, but I'm limiting people a bit more than this, just to start. You can either have 1 psychic power or 3 character perks to begin with.

[Goryokaku]

edited didn't see the "or 1" part.

Alright, looks good. Still surprised by the interest this topic generated. Might have to start a second one or something? If that's not against forum rules.

-Raises hand-
Question!
Were we ever supposed to complete this mission without casualties?

I didn't really plan like that exactly. I just had a direction and a concept and you guys can decide based on the situation presented. OOC, Blair has turned, so that was her decision, once they broke her will anyway. There's just multiple ways this can go really. I had no plan to -force- people to go down.

[Kittykitty501]

"Lets nail ze fockers!.. Blair I did not mean in zat way!" XD

[Alaena]

I added an alien index to my first post with pictures for those interested. The hybrid created by Blair is just a 7ft tall, ripped with muscle version of the sectoid with a human head and absolutely no hair, and human skin coloring, but the same deep all-black eyes, though only she has seen one so far.

[eaenidu]

I'm thinking of Blair turning into a sort of Kerrigan/broodmother type of thing

[Meep Meepersons]

Sectoid fire bomb go! *nym tosses sectoid with incendiary jammed in his mouth at other sectoids* xD

Don't be silly Meep. Sectoids don't have mouths.
