Also in case I'm a woman - I refuse being a woman. Pick another backup solider.

Don't worry, you're the middle aged German guy with balding! Totally an improvement

[Gortef]

<-- "Gorgeus"




I like it.

[deathfun]

Commander to the research room. Commander to the research room

"As if I didn't hear that the twenty previous times you said it..."

Commander to the situation room

"I just got to Engineering..."


"We've got reports of abductions happeni-"
"I can see the big holographic Earth thank you. Only the one?"
"...Well as you can see on the big holographic Earth, yes, only the one"
"Send Squad Two"

^{Only three people that matter in this one, everyone else is 'le tired'}




"Alright squad! Two formations of four. MP-Ryan, Phantom and jr2, push right. You four on the roof and the rest inside" ^{You're also joined by Guyinshinyarmo(u)r}


"Three contacts, down below by the pumps"
"I see them, moving to positions"


"On the roof!"
"Got another by the police car"





"Damn jr2, that's a slipping hazard now"
"They're on the move, more of them!"
"I got them on overwatch"




"Moving up"
"Watch out, he's got you in its sights!"


"Get behind me Phantom"






"Guys on the roof are getting all the action"


"Can no one hit that damned alien?"
"I got it"



"Like clockwork"


"Just a couple more here"





"Damn jr2, leave some for the rest of us"
"Hey, that one is still alive!"



"I think I hear something"
"Move quickly"




"There they are!"


"Phantom here, this one is as good as dead"



"Scratch another one!"
"What's that now, three jr2?"


"He's retreating, get on him!"



"That's is, we're done here"

This is Overwatch, good job out there. There's new equipment in the barracks for when you return

I hope this is all up to everyone's desires

jr2, the walking health hazard. If you see this yellow bastard up front, you know he's got your back. Just make sure you say his name right, otherwise there might be a friendly fire incident

'Ello myte. Or in this case Miss. Lepanto might be lazy and hang back, but that doesn't mean that the bullets whizzing over your head aren't going to find their mark. Dressed for a safari or raiding a tomb, whichever suits your fancy

Those aren't for listening to what his squadmates are saying, it's for working out the kinks in his latest club mix! He'll be up in your face just as much as the alien's. Let's just hope he doesn't break out into his latest dance moves

If you need someone to back you up and give you accurate covering fire, this here is your woman. The green won't blend in many places, but what would fit better than that for such a position?

He may be old, he may be balding, but he's far from what his name implies. This is your heavy hitter and he'll make damn sure any alien stupid enough to be in his field of view will eat plenty of their share of lead before anyone else has to move

I'M NOT ON STEROIDS! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. IS MY HAIR GREEN? THAT MEANS I'M MEAN MOTHER****ER! MEAN, LEAN, GREEN AND READY TO BRING PURPLE DEATH TO MY ENEMIES. I'M REALLY CUTE. MY NAME IS RHEYAH. WHAT IS YOURS?

It might not be able to convey comforting comfort as you're dying, but it'll patch you up better than any human would ever be able to. With an ability to move quickly and far on the battlefield, this is exactly who you'll need on your side if you end up eating a faceful of plasma

Girl, you pink. You fabulous. You Engineer. You... Sappulous! NGTM might spend her time worrying too much about how some of her outfits just don't clash with the best colour ever, but the aliens won't be able to resist gawking as more grenades than you'll ever need come flying their way

When Phantom isn't flying around in her Raven-1 interceptor, she's in the field bringing the pain. This is definitely one talented individual and will spend downtime fixing up her plane to get that extra edge

Everything this man says is generally followed by "mother****er". That rocket on his back probably carries that very pet name! If you see him coming around the corner, expect some fireworks to soon follow

She spends so much time worrying about how she looks Command decided to just give her a sniper rifle with a makeup kit. Gortef will never be anything but gorgeous on and off the battlefield. Just look at that hair! Ask what conditioner she uses

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you! Rockets and bullets will be that vengeance. 'Nuff said

Roses are red, aliens are dead. She's in blue., going after you! There are many puns, to go with her great buns. MP-Ryan is packing, and makes sure you won't be slacking. Buckshot is the name, faceful is the game. Aliens are ****ed, they're out of luck!

[Scotty]

You make that marksman rifle into a shotgun right now, mister.

[Phantom Hoover]

if lepanto ever gets mind controlled let me take the horrible psychological toll of separating his vile swedish blood from his body

[deathfun]

Switched you to having a shotgun, despite my inclination for otherwise

Oh and NGTM, I know you wanted red but I couldn't resist. You're a sapper... I just had to make the pun!

[CommanderDJ]

Loving the personalities on all those troopers!

[NGTM-1R]

Hey, I'm just honoring the memory of FABULOUS deathfun from my own game.

[deathfun]

Will the following soldiers report to the Skyranger, abduction in process

"ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS THING"
"I don't really feel like it"
"Unce unce unce unce"

This is Big Sky, we've arrived at target area, deploying troops

Copy that, good luck out there

"This seems easy enough, keep a line and push up"
"Affirmative"
"YEAH, GET SOME!"
"Scouting ahead"



"Confirm, two tangos"
"They're opening fire!"



"Lepanto! See what you can"
"Do I have to..."



"The sound that plasma pistol makes is divine, I must use it in my next track"




"He's on the move!"
"I'M ON OVERWATCH DIE DIE DIE"


"Three more! By the orange whatever thingy"





"THIS GUN SUCKS"
"Hold up, what the hell is that thing?"
"Looks like some automated drone"



"Systems are green. Ha. Ha"
"This guy is right in the open!"
^{91% shot... and he misses}




"Think you should be renamed Shotgun Scotty for that shot!"
"I AGREE. GREAT SHOT"





"Dammit, brace yourself!"


"Beam-free-all: True"
"What are you talking about Droid?"



"Booom *****"
"Guess I'll mop up"

Area is clear of hostiles. Spooling the engines

Hey, I'm just honoring the memory of FABULOUS deathfun from my own game.

Also why I did it :D

EDIT: Also considering doing some videos that follow the adventures of one soldier during a mission (with voice narration!) here and there since I'm obviously enjoying myself a little with the whole personality thing

[Hobbie]

Praise be to Hobbie, the most fabulous of ladypopes.

I demand constant inappropriate evangelism, a lot of explosions, and a reverence for the God Emperor of Mankind.

[deathfun]

Commander, you might want to take a look at this

What have you got for me?

News sir, it would appear that Japan has withdrawn from supporting the XCOM project

What? We've only just begun...

UFO spotted over the Atlantic heading towards Nigeria!

Scramble Phantom!

This is Phantom, closing in on target. Damn he's fast!

Get another one in the air, take this thing down

You're telling me we need to take one of these things... alive?

^{His face tells you everything you need to know}

I agree with the doctor, it would be well worth it

^{New thing, sounds pretty cool}

Another abduction site Commander

Send them our regards

"It's time to kick ass mother****ers!"
"Let God make me into the Harbinger of Death"
"If they're in my sight, they'll fear my might"





"Guy, Hobbie, take to the right and push through the alley. Gortef, cover Scotty on the left. Rest of you with me into the building, we'll punch right through"



"I've spotted the demons! Preparing the exorcism"


"Through the door, prepare for gore"



"Well ****, I hope I don't get hit"
"Situation dire. Rendering assistance"




"Dammit, he's still on the roof!"


"Looks like he's retreating"
"Good, now you can help me out!"


"**** that's painful"
"It's time for me to run, and to use this gun"





"Your faith is weak, God only wishes to toy with you further"


"He's moving into building!"
"Pursue that mother****er"


"Nothing to see up here, making a move"



"That was a bad move, little help here Gortef"
"Was fixing my hair"




"****! I need reinforcements!"



"Get out of there Scotty!"
"Don't have to tell me twice"


"I don't think the mother****ers are here for reading"






"This is what I get for helping out!"
"NGTM! Keep it together!"
"The pain may make me insane!"



"The miss keeps me from the abyss"
"Need some help Gortef?"
"Could you hold this mascara?"



"Bring down the fury of the angels!"


"Surprise mother****er!" ^{Yes I was waiting to use that}



"Detecting no vitals"



"I'm back you bastards"
"As is the pink"





"Grenade out!"




"Scratch another bogey. Ugh, my hair's a mess now"

[Hobbie]

These personalities are absolutely perfect. I'm having a blast reading this. Keep it up!

[Scotty]

Protip: movement speed is one of several minor deities in this mod.  Flanking is wonderful, and the lighter armor you wear, combined with the less items you bring along, the faster you move.

[Gortef]

I see you really went all out with the personalities and appearances. I love it. Bloody good job! This is really entertaining to read.

[Patriot]

Signin up for INFANTRY duty

You can pick a punny name yourself

Yeah, I know. Been playing around with various stuff, but the random HP (and movement) for the soldiers sometimes doesn't fit their given role. Currently working on a team specifically for the role of getting around quickly (like Droid and yourself), but am more focused on the tactics I'm used to (being, trying to avoid engaging too many at once, so flanking is generally kept as situational than a more aggressive approach). Soon though, once I feel comfortable in what I can do.

If anyone wants to add their own little trait for me to include in the writing, I'll do my best to work with it

And totally will Patriot!

[Gortef]

Well one thing is that since my avatar seems to be female then you could use the feminine version on my nick "Gortina", which I use if I make a female character to a game. A small nitpick I guess, but it could suit better for the character. Other than that I have no problems with my avatar so far.

[TrashMan]

I respectfully request a non-blading, young head with military hair....or a helmet. Preferably a helmet. A cool one. Failing that a berret.

Damn, there goes the possibility for the "I need my glasses" remark for missing!
Or the "back in my day" stereotypes

I had already done one mission that's to be posted, so the changes will be delayed only slightly
