But you've been posting.

So what is the current situation within the first mission?

Bravo team was investigating a small church and just about to breech it when a squad of sectoids opened fire on them. Barbs ordered Alpha team to start covering fire on the alien position (in a pawn shop) and started firing. The Aliens are counter attacking him and he doesn't have very good cover. Milky got attacked by a seeker that is dead but tossed her off a roof, Wolfram killed a sectoid with a 40mm grenade. Some members of Bravo are waiting for a good chance to counter attack the sectoids that ambushed them. Cruise is being attacked at range by a second seeker. That's what we got right now.

Anyway if nobody else from alpha posts soon Barbs is just going to blow the fucking building to kingdom come.

Yo Bae, can my other character be something like a mission control officer who stays back at the base and communicates with the soldiers on missions? That works well for their special role too.

Sorry for the absence. Folks have realised there's only a few days till I head back off, so lots of family outings for the past few days

That's fine.

Just an FYI but if anyone leaves an attack open ended then I'll determine if it hits or not during the next update using the same method as I've been using with the aliens. This means you could, theoretically, miss from two feet away.

Would it really be an XCOM game without point blank misses?

[Beiarusia]

Would it really be an XCOM game without point blank misses?

Shotgun, 100% chance to hit, literally close enough to press the barrel to the alien's head, still misses anyway.

It's an alien mind game. They're making you think that you can hit the target, but when in reality...

Mission 01: Not Alone

---

LOCATION: San Marcos, Jalisco, Mexico
The primary zone for engagement will be along the town's main avenue. Near the highway the space is open but quickly becomes claustrophobic the closer you are to the town center with many buildings in close proximity that will offer ample cover and places to hide. A shopping center in San Marco's downtown is expected to be the epicenter of non-terrestrial activity.

I'm working on the other app now. Expect this one to be Tumblr: The Character.

[Forest State]

Name: Haley Brzenczyszczykiewicz
Nickname: Wick
Age: 29
Sex: Female
Nationality: American
Appearance:

Haley, shortly after joining [DATA REMOVED BY ADMINISTRATOR REQUEST]

Rank: Sergeant
Class: Mission Control
Weapon: Desert Eagle, K-Bar
Gear: N/A

Previous Assignment: FARC(2003-2010), Palestine Liberation Organization(Jan 2011-June 2011), Peshmerga(August 2011-2014), [DATA REMOVED BY ADMINISTRATOR REQUEST](2013-Present)

Skills: Incredibly calm at all times. Can become completely devoted to a goal to the point of having singular focus. Great administrator.
Weakness: Shit at actual combat, meaning she's both not good at hand to hand fighting or shooting with anything other than a pistol or an SMG. Prone to deep depression. If she does break her calmness, it's near impossible to get it back. Too easily lost in her thoughts. She has a slew of personality disorders(Bipolar Disorder, Clinical Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) that have went untreated for her entire life.

Personality: Haley's personality can be summed up by the fact that she's passionate. She puts her complete effort into whatever she does, even if others accuse her of being obsessive. She tries to keep her aura of calm up at all times, even if she's screaming internally, and she also tries to help others whenever possible, often through advice but sometimes through just listening to them. It was her people skills that made her a good administrator, although she secretly envies people who are more 'normal' than her. If she isn't feeling like she's at her best, her first move is to withdraw from others and hide until she can return to being the figure that everyone looks to when they need a calm leader.

Bio: Haley wasn't born to a family with much. She's the daughter of two Polish immigrants from the Bronx, who grew up poor and from an early age believed that the world was fundamentally unfair because people like her had to live in poverty while across town, millionaires and billionaires lived with more money than they could ever use. She always tried to right injustices when she saw them, sometimes feeding the homeless and sometimes working with activist groups in middle school and high school. The environment became a subject close to her heart, and when she was protesting in high school with other Green activists, she met a friend who was heavily involved with communist movements and was visiting from abroad. When she got out of high school, she tracked him down and begged him to take her back to Colombia with him, where she joined FARC and became a hardcore Marxist, believing that her actions were righting the wrongs that she'd seen growing up. Her first few years were rough, but she eventually discovered that her talent wasn't in fighting, which she was never good at, but in administrating. She started off helping with the logistics of the FARC operations, and then she got more and more invested in the combat operations, and she was an officer by her third year with the organization. Her seven years with FARC taught her a lot about both her own beliefs, and about how to command a military. However in 2010, she had disagreements with the leadership over how they should handle the war, with Haley pushing for them to go even further left than they already were, refusing to negotiate with other parties at all. This, coupled with some doubts about her own beliefs that she kept secret, caused her to leave FARC and look for another Marxist movement to help.

Palestine was an attractive destination, so on New Year's Day, 2011, she flew there to join friends that she'd made contact with while in Colombia. They knew of her skill with administrating, and on paper it seemed like she would quickly rise through the ranks of the PLO. However, Palestine was a more brutal battlefield than Colombia, and some of the things she saw there shook her. In Colombia, she dealt with less actual combat and more organization and helping out the soldiers who were in combat, but from a safe distance. In Palestine, she was expected to fight, and she was quickly shaken enough that she regretted her decision. After seeing the acts of some of the Palestinian rebels, she considered for the first time that she might not be on the side of the 'good guys'. Her time in West Bank was cut short when some of the hardline Islamic members of the group attempted to execute her for her western background and for the fact that she's an atheist.

Her friends helped her flee, and she ended up in Rojava, which was something of a dream come true to her. Finally she had the chance to help in building the Marxist utopia that she'd imagined for her whole life. Well, it would have been a dream come true if she wasn't seriously doubting her beliefs, and dealing with the personality problems that flared up recently for her. She was welcomed in Rojava, but the whole time, she was living a lie. She realized that communism wasn't as great as she thought it was, and she was lonely and depressed in this new place that she had no existing friends in. [DATA REMOVED BY ADMINISTRATOR REQUEST]. When XCOM called, it was an obvious choice for her to accept their invitation. She said goodbye to her old friends and told them the truth, that she didn't believe in Marxism anymore. XCOM would be a new start for her, a new start that could hopefully get her over her personality issues and help her forget her previous life as a revolutionary.

I got a plan, but i could only post evening.

[Anowa]

Wait, the roof Sectoid 9 was on was the Pawnshop?

[Beiarusia]

Wait, the roof Sectoid 9 was on was the Pawnshop?

Yeah. Maybe a miscommunication somewhere down the line.

I intended Wolfram to just suppress the Sectoids in the Pawnshop after dealing with 9. But he still has 3x 40mm and a combat knife...

I guess Wolfram can multi-class a a Ranger down the road then.

I read your post as actually climbing up to reach it. Thought you wanted to get close and personal.

Wait, why would Xcom accepted someone with multiple untreated personalty disorders and if breaks down could maybe never recover?
