There are two possibilities.
Either we are alone in the Universe, or we are not.
Both are equally Terrifiying.
"In light of the recent extraterrestrial incursion, this council of nations has convened to approve the activation of the XCOM Project. You have all been chosen to lead this initiative. To oversee our first... and last line of defense. Your efforts will have considerable influence on this planet's future. We urge you to keep that in mind as you proceed" - Spoksman of the Council

Hello there Forumer's, & welcome to my new RP!
As you might have gleaned from the title, this Rp will be set in the XCOM universe, specifically the events of the game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This is the first of its kind on this forum as far as I can tell, so you'll have to bear with me. This story will follow a similar arc to that of the game, except that participants will take on the role of squad members as opposed to a position of command. As the story progresses characters will have a chance to develop & interact with each other, forming friendships & sharing losses as they fight a new, Extra-Terrestrial enemy.
The cap for number of participants will be 5-6 Roleplayers for the sake of squad-size realism, but I doubt this will be a problem. Extensive knowledge of the game will not be necessary, feel free to ask me any questions if you get confused. I just love to discuss this stuff!
Also, this site is useful if additional information is required during posts/applications. In-game statistics are not important, but they should give you a rough idea of how combat scenes should play out.
Rules
1. No Overpowered chars. Obviously. To those that do know this series, we will start at the beginning. Reverse-engineered tech, such as psionic powers & plasma weaponry can come later in the story. You want the best stuff? You gotta earn it.
2. Scripting other people, otherwise known as Meta-Gaming, will not be tolerated. this is a roleplay, not a fanfic, so please accept that some things are outside of your field of control.
3. This will be an 18+ roleplay. Though this is primarily because certain enemy tactics are quite gruesome, I will accept other forms of mature writing on the grounds that people do not over-do it. You know what I'm talking about.
4. Strong language or other profanity against fellow Roleplayers is banned. Prepare to be kicked from this thread if repeated incidents of this nature occur.
5. Regardless of whether this Roleplay proves popular or not, I will not be accepting Character cards that display poor grammar, lack of detail, or breach Rule 1.
6. Here is a basic CC template. Additional writing is not essential but encouraged.
