I’m so excited for this! Thanks for checking it out. Ive been thinking about War of the Chosen ever since the press preview event in California! There’s info in the description of the video on how to join the character pool. Thanks for the early access 2K!
Hey Chris, you plan on playing RUINER when it comes out? It's another cyberpunk game (:
ChristopherOdd does this expansion tack on to the end of x-com two with the mystery glowy thing or is it stand alone new story elements?
ChristopherOdd I would love to be added to Char Pool. Name is Xavier 'Professor' Worthey. I dont wpuld prefer to be a scientist (surprisingly). And due to such a choice I don't really have a back story since you wont see me in combat or such.
happy to see my favorite youtuber play my favorite game.
Add meh! Character name Chainsaw "Ninja" Space. Specializes in stealth, but can be effect in any role. Has dreams of becoming the most dangerous and sought after mercenary on the planet. For now, he's enlisted to build his rep and kill some aliens.
"They can't know we were here'
*leaves unconscious scientist on ground and a string of dead Advent bodies*
"We're good here Bradford" XD
Reece Hart they will know someone was there. They have to hide it was XCOM. Make them think it was the skirmishes or something
David Umstattd still doesnt make sense, they breached secrutiy, they killed guards and they were in the lab, ADVENT should have know that something was terribly wrong.
russian stealth leave no one alive to report it
Right?! I was like... I don't know about you, but covering your tracks was NOT that... >_> Elena my girl... WTF. LMAO.
"Despite their brilliance, they are a fickle group"
HE'S THE ONLY SCIENTIST
HE'S TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF
No! Im with the science team! Me, myself, and I!
@@sithkermit8502 dont lie to me,thats from fallout's character ''sulik'' right?
@@thesnowmn2 ngl, idk man.
Le Science, c'est moi!
In case anyone is wondering, there is only a 1.08% chance for a 66%, a 69%, a 70%, and a 66% chance to hit to miss consecutively.
Rounded, of course.
Thats XCOM baby!
Yeah, not being able to change these stupid odds and mission timers are some of the big reasons I no longer play these...
@@nostromov7892 Mods can handle that.
As a person who plays warhammer allot, percentages and averages mean nothing on the moment
New playthrough in 2024??? Like this if you want it
Remember when Sectoids weren't scary? I miss the good old days.
Yep
They was scary AF on legendary 1st mission, xcom eu/ew.
@@davidevans7477 Yea. I still havent survived long enough on legendary on x-com. And damn those sectoids are fucking mean lol.
Went from oh thank god its just a sectoid to FUCK its a sectoid. Part of me is glad mectoids aren't a thing
To be honest, fighting a sectoid would be shit your pants horrifying, if the first mission of xcom is anything to go by. They can control the minds of any of your squadmates and all of a sudden you're getting a face full of buckshot by a zombified squaddie
Name: Hugh Mann
Nationality: Odd's Choice
Looks: Make him resemble the Speaker or Snake Men, black should be his armor color
Bio: From Central "Hugh Mann? Now there's a name I can trust."
Name: Kevin Dorkslayer
Nationality: Whatever
Defining characteristic: Backwards hat
Color scheme: red and green
Biography: Kevin was just a kid when the aliens invaded. The cul-de-sac he grew up in was destroyed when an alien ship crashed right into it. Eventually ADVENT tried to sell the idea of the "City Centers" to the families who lost their homes in the invasion. But Kevin saw right through it, Kevin believed the city centers were nothing but a "scam created by those alien DORKS!", and somehow found XCOM.
This is fucking gold. Now all we need is Rolf the Son of a Shepard and we've got the XCOM bash brothers.
Now I want a ed edd and eddy voice pack. I wanna hear a ranger screaming "YOU DARE MOCK THE SON OF A SHEPARD!?"
YES. YES PLEASE.
Advent can feel the hat of discipline, that will show them the shouldn't have touched Earth.
Actually I have a few Ed Edd n Eddy mods on the workshop, though I haven't made any voice packs yet, I have started compiling clips for them.
Outrider looks like she is ready to enter the Zone.
Wonder if she stays cheeki breeki.
get out of here, stalker!
This place is not for you!
AH NUUUUUUU
мля, я маслину поймал (mlyaa, ya masleenoo poymal)
I wonder if i can give her armor Adidas strips or maybe a full track suit
I love the mission photos. For that moment when you kill 50 enemies in a flawless avenger defense
"This team is the best!"
*said team proceeds to miss the next 5 shots
I am guilty of creating a poster after every mission and spending about 5 minutes making it perfect.
👌🏻
It makes the missions feel so much more important lol and it’s fun looking back at them all and remembering
Especially when you see it later on in a diff mission
I just spent about 15 mins on tricking this character out, doing a badass poster… only for her to die in the next mission 😆
Hello, commander. It appears your feeble resistance has risen from the shadows to defy the elders. You may be tricked into thinking you have the upper hand, but these early victories mean nothing. Soon, the elders will unveil their true power.
Since when did you care about what the Elders want?
Oh hi snopper
More of a warlock thing to say tbh
I've been watching this over the past few weeks. Though I haven't yet completed it this is probably my favorite RUclips series of all time. Incredibly thoughtful, high level gameplay, with humor and characters you care for and want to see succeed. It's better than television! Klaus, Zhou, Bossman, Raijin - all awesome. Seriously, man, great work! I especially love it when everything goes haywire and the game just punishes you and yet you somehow succeed and come out ahead.
Was his supposed to be after xcom 2?
Name: George Crawford
Nationality: British
Colour scheme: Red
Biography: George was born before the first invasion in a world that has long since been destroyed by the Elder. He was 12 when the first invasion occurred and was living in the British city of Manchester, unfortunately due to the aliens tendency to destroy city centers his hometown of Manchester was quickly destroyed by the foul alien machines.
He was saved from the same fate of most of Manchester by an XCOM mission that had been sent to locate and rescue survivors. The mission had been a complete failure, with all squad members killed but what it did achieve was a distraction, with most of the alien presence in the city focused on destroying the XCOM mission that allowed George to escape the Ill fated city.
The later years of George's life were spent working for the new Advent administration as he didn't see any reason why they should be overthrown, he couldn't remember much about his childhood but what he did remember was that the world wasn't all it was cracked up to be by dissident groups. His role within Advent was as a part of the scavenger corps who were dedicated to tracking down abandoned military bases and disabling any wepondary found within. It was through this job that he freed his mind from the Advent. For one of his assignments was to disable any wepondary found in an old XCOM base. It was in there that he accessed the information reveling what the aliens really were, what they intended to do with us. So he ran and eventually came across a haven of free humans, now he wishes to make amends with Humanity for his service to Advent by joining XCOM.
Stanley unfortunate Wonderfully, well thought out bio, makes mine looks awful!
Thomas_Oak thanks for alerting me to that typo I'll change it this instant.
Or you could call the sectapod Baba Yaga. If you don't know the story, Baba Yaga is a witch from Russian folklore, she lives in a house with chicken legs.
Chris Martindale lol
I agree with Thomas_Oak but with the word "wepondary" it should be *Weaponry*. Otherwise, good imagination.

Hey Chris!! Long time fan here! Would love to assist this season!
Name: Michael "Raze" Crenshaw
Nationality/Race: American/White
***Bio***
Michael grew up as a gamer through and through. Along with his younger brother, Kevin, he was never one to back down from a challenge in any game or genre. FPS, strategy, sports, racing, fighting, puzzles, survival, you name it; he's played it, and excelled to the top of any leader-board along with his brother. At least until the first invasion, when advent killed Michael's parents and left the brothers to fend for themselves. Michael fled to the nearby forest with his brother, and into hiding. For years and years the brothers survived together. Turns out video games translated into several new skills for the boys. Michael used this experience and became an expert marksman within a few months. Strategy and combat tactics came easily to the brothers, who were able to practice their craft on dozens of unsuspecting Advent patrols. Their movements became bolder and even riskier as they looted supplies and intelligence from each fallen foe. One ambush in particular is what forced Michael's hand into joining XCOM. He never really cared what happened to the world after the invasion, it never really mattered. What mattered was his brother, and Michael would do anything to save him. Especially if it meant cleaving his way through any enemy who set foot in his path, even the Elders.
"I will find you..."
~Michael
I hope you can use him!
Your video series are, in my opinion the best training tools available for the xcom series. I don't say that lightly. The step by step point of view, the why, the how, can't be improved upon for this purpose. This is a lot of work, and it's well appreciated. Xcom veteran.
Name: Dubber Rucky Gender: Male
Bio: Once a high rank operative of Xcom back before the fall. Douglas Rornty worked in secret to derail the regime on his own. Becoming a thorn in its side for quite some time, until he recklessly attacked a Sectopod trying to keep his squad alive. Captured by the Regime after a year he was recovered by the resistance thinking he was the Commander. Overjoyed they rescued such a highly trained Operative, to their surprise in a mix of brain damage and mental tampering he now believes he is a Rubber Ducky mutated into a man. For this action he swears vengence against the Regime and their "Anti-Bathtime ways". It has been said there is nothing that can be done to fix him but he still remembers all his training so they let him fight.
Rubber Ducky okay, this dude sounds awesome.
😂
Ethan "Fupa" Klein
Nationality: Israeli
Defining feature: Neckbeard
Color Scheme: Purple and White
Backstory: He worked for the Israel regiment of the Vape Nation resistance during the invasion. After the fall of the earth he lost everything. He started a new revolution with his new army the Hila Kleiners named after his wife he lost after the fall.
Ethan is American, Hila is Israeli.
bunch of jews what's the difference
@@jasonpham4554 true
1) I love that XCOM is back its the first series I watched of your channel.
2) Soldier:
Name:Angel Fileris
Gender: Male
Nickname: AFileris
Nationality: Greek
Appearance: Tall( around 7 feet), Bulk, green eyes and brown spiky hair with slightly blonde extensions. Has a scar on his cheek, you pick which one and all over his body. Give accessories if you like(just not too crazy stuff).
Biography: Angel was only a teen when the aliens first invaded. Greece fell easily due to the huge disadvantages that humans had. Besides that due to his rebelious attitude he kept fighting by sabotaging Advent transports and patrols. Due to his activities he was captured by advent and tortured to reveal his cooperatives. Thats when after 3 months XCOM arrived with a small group to save him and recruit him. On the way back, the heli that they were traveling was ambushed, in his attempt to save the xcom operatives, Angel had to fix the choppers engine from the outside, and although successful was shot and fell from the heli. Miraculously he survived although loosing his left arm in the process( not sure if there is a way to do that, if not just discard the missing arm and write badly injured.) From there he went under the radar, until recently when word came that XCOM is recruiting again.
Oh also color scheme: Red or Blue
Solider Name: Riggan "Birdman" Thompson.
Biography: Riggan was a famous actor who played Birdman, a very popular superhero film series from the 90s. Ever since those movies Riggan has slowly been forgotten, and he has been waiting for a chance to be remembered. He was in the middle of preparing a Broadway show which he wrote, directed, and starred in. Unfortunately the aliens invaded and he couldn't preform. Once the war ended the aliens wouldn't allow him to preform, so he joined xcom. Now Riggan has a chance to not play a superhero, but become one. Any class. He should look like the Birdman costume (Look up the movie Birdman for a good look), if thats not possible than if he looks like Michael Keaton than that also works. Thanks Odd, and keep up the great work.
"Cover your tracks and get out of their!"
"Um, okay... what would you like me to do with the dead guards and the unconscious scientist?"

Scott 'FUBAR' Castellow "Left for dead in Eastern Virginia as the XCOM initiative fell, he began a guerilla resistance to subvert the East Coast operations of Advent and jumped on the opportunity to rejoin XCOM once it resurfaced. US country of origin.Some advent gear scattered for his outfit would be cool. Love your vids! Keep up the good work!
Use all mission posters from the whole game as a slideshow at the end!
Name: Scott "Hero" Wesson
Country: United States
Defining Characteristic: Clean cut and intense
Color scheme: Black and Dark Blue
Biography: Wrestling coach by day, vigilante by night, Wesson was an agent of less than legal means of justice before the Aliens invaded. When the advent propaganda told stories of the XCOM program he knew it was his purpose to join and fight. Distrustful at first, XCOM gave Wesson his chance with a slew of dangerous missions. After he proved his loyalty by putting his life on the line, he began his career as a decorated XCOM Officer.
Good
Name : Kazami Yuuji
Age : 19
Nationality : Japan
Hair : Short and black
Color scheme : White with purple notes
Bio : He was born right after Advent was created to ex-XCOM soldiers who managed to escape after the base destruction. His parents have trained him in the shadows of urban centers, making him one hell of a tough street fighter and close-quarters specialist. About 6 months ago, his parents died when Advent finally found them. Ever since, he has been keeping low profile, waiting for the fabeled XCOM to come back. The second he saw a resistance propaganda poster in his hometown, he rushed to the closest resistance center, and enroled in the steps of his parents in the XCOM force.
Tarklas Nice reference
Great to watch as well.
Alucard The Dauntless thx mate ^^
Isnt Yuuji a sniper?
Yeah, but i gave more of a general training, since his actual class will be random
Im really excited to see cristopher playing xcom again. It never gets old. Iam in luck to have the time to binge watch all 5 episodes now. Keep up the great work.
Soldier Name: Magnus ''That Guy'' Oddus
Nationality: Dutch (Netherlands)
Defining characteristic: Prevalent Purple / Attitude: Intense
Bio: An odd fella that feels like he's always been with the resistance, or has he? even though documentation on this guy seems sparse, all the soldiers feel very familiar with him but have a hard time recalling any memories with him, in fact nobody really seems to know his name and refer to him fondly as ''that guy'.'Whatever his deal is, he has a burning hatred for xeno's and seems very eager to fight the good fight.
Very good bio
Sylva "Artemis" Nyx
Nationality: British
Base Color: Dark Green
Detail Color: Mint Green
Bio:Being 7 at the time of the initial invasion Sylva was the witness of an alien terror attack in London. Seeing XCOM drop in and saving many civilians including her family, she was able to bond with a sniper that was hanging back to ensure the civilians safety. Only to see the sniper be shot by a thin man and begin to bleed out. Sylva rushed to the sniper picking up the sniper's pistol and firing at the thin man and managed to graze the alien sending it scurrying away. Sylva tried to keep pressure on the sniper's wound. When the squad's medic was able to reach the sniper she was already dead. Sylva then left that day a scarred child vowing to see the aliens fall.
After the ADVENT coalition was founded Sylva would lose her parents due to them being collaberators in a fledgeling resistance. She was shipped off to an ADVENT reeducation camp although her mental scarring prevented much progress and she feigned loyalty to the ADVENT cause. After going through many foster homes she left the program and started seeking out the London resistance cell only to see it had been infiltrated and destroyed.
Sylva was disapointed in how the London cell operated letting anyone join at any time. She attempted to contact the reapers after finding evidence of their existance through working to create a new resistance cell in London. Then she was contacted by XCOM...
*"Airmed" becomes ranger*
Odd: "I feel like these classes fit!"
I've forgotten how tense it is watching you play XCOM!! Oh, how I've missed it so :-)))
been looking forward to this, love your XCOM series! I hardly watch any gameplay that is more than 30mins but your XCOM gameplay, I watch all of them!
Name: Talim Dimaculangan
Nationality: USA(American)
Defining Character: Asian American male, nurse in real life (Medic perhaps?)
Color Scheme: Dark green
Biography: Talim was a young refugee from an remote island somewhere in Asia. His parents did all they can to protect Talim from the alien invaders. One day, XCOM original war was in this island for a mission to protect the citizens from the Cryssalids. Talim's parents were casualties from the war. An XCOM solder named Grelite found Talim and took him to the U.S. and eventually joined XCOM.
DimaculanganPunch very interisting
DimaculanganPunch a remote island in asia? Didnt know asia had islands
Is this a joke?
And now he is part of the German army right ?
Can't wait to see how this season goes. I also can't wait to see the character journals!
'ERE WE GO! New campaign! New expansion! Same old XCOM luck! Keep it going, Commander!
I'm so late I didn't know about this game and I'm an xcom junkie been playing xcom since it first came out on PC I loved the xcom underwater game
This Gatecrasher map reminds me of the layout in the first GOTG film, when Gamora and Rocket/Groot all decided to pick a fight with Starlord.
Name: Jonathan "Spartan" Drosendahl
Gender: Male
Nationality: USA
Colors: Black and Dark Red
Specials: Cool sunglasses, serious look
Bio: Right after the aliens took over Earth, Jonathan and a few of his friends fled into the Rocky Mountains where they created a small hideout. They lived there peacefully for twenty years until Advent started sending patrols into the mountains to weed out the many Resistance camps there. One of those patrols had found their hideout, so in order to buy time for his friends to escape, Jonathan single handedly held a narrow mountain pass against the entire patrol. His friends successfully managed to escape, but he was never able to rejoin them after the battle. He wandered the mountains for weeks until he stumbled upon a large Resistance camp. There, he learned that the XCom Project survived and was looking for new recruits. Given his story, it was pretty clear that he was more than capable. And so Jonathan join XCom, hoping that one day he'd see his friends again and see Advent fall.
Hey just bought this dlc and all the other packs as I did not have the money when I was younger watching your vids but I cannot wait to finally play this now rewatching the series and noticed when I was scrolling thru your playlists that Xcom is not in your playlist section but I’m hype! hello commander
Badass work Odd. Can't wait to see where this campaign goes; I'm already imagining the awesome combos that your new bonded pair could do in the future:
Sharpshooter uses Teamwork on Grenadier, Grenadier fires two grenades to destroy all of the enemy's cover, Sharpshooter uses Faceoff to mop up.
Grenadier uses Salvo to fire grenade/heavy weapon, then uses Teamwork on Sharpshooter. Sharpshooter uses QuickDraw, Lightning Hands, Faceoff and Fan-Fire ALL IN ONE TURN. I'm going crazy just thinking about this one.
I can't wait to sink my teeth into War of the Chosen myself. All the best Odd!

Back story: Before becoming a soldier, Sam lived a long and boring life of being called beer boy by everyone he met. The alien invasion brought new flare to his life.

Backstory:feel free to add onto it if you have ideas(anyone) As the lone survivor of the Newfoundland mission in enemy within after chrysalids destroyed his boat; the S.S Oddity he vowed to single handedly wipe out the chrysalid population, and Xcom is just a means to a end

Nationality: German
Prefered Color-scheme: Black/white/orange with a helmet, skull bandana and skull facepaint
Biography:
Stephan was freed by an Xcom squad during their assault on an alien abductor and was brought back to Xcom HQ to undergo
tests from Doctor Valen to find out why he had survived. Results where neutral, they didnt found out why he had surivived but
could confirm that the aliens hadnt done anything to him yet. He didnt speak a lot in that time, but it was clear that
he had a serious grudge against the aliens and was capable of fighting.They allowed him to join Xcom even though nobody knew anything about
his past, expect of his name and a view information collected by his state. His training was short and went well, not
revealing anything special, expect of a little talent to engineering and covered operations. He began working in the foundry and joined the debriefings
of the covered operatives returning from the field, but never saw an actual combat deployment.
When the aliens started to gain foodhold in the world, he was stationed as a covered op in a small town in the western Ucrain to watch for any sign of alien activity.
When the aliens overrun Xcom HQ and Humanity fell under the rule of the alien suppressors, he went into hiding, until
he heared rumors about the Xcom project being still allive......
I've missed Xcom 2 and I've missed your coverage of Xcom 2!
Glad to see you both back in rotation!
Looking forward to an active campaign.
Mike "The Hound" Knight. Born in the year 2000, Mike lived in a rural town largely spared the devastation of the invasion. When he turned 18 he took over his family's business, a small kennel, and quietly raised his dogs. When the Advent ban of domestic animals was starting to be enforced, however, he refused to surrender his faithful charges. The Advent squad sent to remove them clubbed him unconscious and lit his kennel on fire. He only survived because one of his oldest dogs dragged him from the premises before dying of its own burns. Appalled by this senseless and pointless brutality, Mike fled to the nearby mountains and prepared to resist humanity's new order any way he could.

Arthur "Archangel" King. Arthur had just graduated at the top of his West Point class and showed great promise as a Special Operations officer. His leadership and ruthlessness in the Rangers gained the attention of the shadowy and brilliant Commanding Officer of Delta known only as "The Commander." Unfortunately, as King's selection process drew to a close, the first invasion began and the Commander was reassigned. After completing his training, the Commander invited him to serve as an officer in the XCOM Project. He conducted many successful operations but was gravely injured after one battle. While in a hospital bed, the XCOM project was mysteriously shut down. After witnessing the Commander take a buttstock to the head in the evacuation, he attempted to start an uprising amongst the soldiers at the base that left it mostly destroyed, but the Commander was still captured. Arthur and his team escaped the facility and hid out in the plains of central Texas. 20 years later, after organizing a resistance cell and starting a family while serving as one of the mentors for the children in the community, he heard rumors of a new XCOM Project, and the same commander. He decided to leave what he built behind and go fight for the Commander, because Arthur knew that the Commander is the best hope for humanity.
William (Bird) Umstattd. (Sniper or support class)
Bio:
An old member of the original Xcom project. William not only fights for humanity but also for his bird friends.
Character look (Male, short hair, no tattoos, military look, in his 40's, beard).
Wil (Willa if female) Wake
Was on a boyscout(girlscout) retreat when the invasion happened. The troop hid in the wilds as the war went down, turning into a guerrilla unit in order to survive. Now that the aliens are in control, offense is the best defense.
You could have the Posters from the Last mission you played as the start of a new episode.
That last ADVENT soldier dodged a turns worth of shots, if the soldier survived the encounter I'm sure he would be promoted to at least an elite trooper maybe even an advanced officer. Give that trooper a medal!
The end of mission posters/pictures is the best freaking thing ever. I want to see all of them. Maybe not as a thumbnail, but at the end of a mission.
CHARACTER: Ryder "The Shotgun" Lynn
color scheme: bright, neon red and yellow/gold
class: ranger
gender: male
nationality: china
head: baseball cap, aiviator sunglasses, skull bandana, half-face burn scar
bio:
Before the war, Ryder "The Shotgun" Lynn was a feared member of one of the biggest triads in Hong Kong. He built his empire from the very bottom, blasting and bludgeoning his way to the top of Hong Kong's underworld to stand among it's most elite. And right there at his side, following him to the top, was his most trusted friend and compatriot. A man by the name of Shaojie Zhang.
When the invasion started, everything went to hell. Contacts went dark, rackets were destroyed, abandoned, or just stopped turning profits, and safe houses were lost to looting, destruction, or refugees. While many decided to stick their heads in the sand, retreating to their personal safehouses far away from the chaos to wait out the war, a few entrepreneuring - or, perhaps, looking back, naive - ones like him stuck to their guns, and changed their business slightly to fit the new environment. Protection rackets were doubled down on, weapons were looted from past battles and sold back to those who once owned them, and then, a lucky break. A piece of alien tech, recovered completely undamaged, and clearly more advanced than anything the aliens usually carried around. Probably. It glowed brighter than the other things.
He immediately put it up for sale to the highest bidder on the black market. and quite soon a buyer was found. With the streets impassable on anything other than foot and plane and as dangerous as the most violent of gang warzones, there was really no other man to make the delivery. A good luck and a farewell later, Zhang was off, and only after three increasingly angry phone calls from the buyer did Zhang's betrayal dawn on him. He did the best he could to try and hunt the man down, but every lead he followed lead to an impassable stone wall, one even his most compliant contacts still working with him refused to let him through. The writing was on the wall, whatever had happened to Zhang, or whatever he did, nothing he could do would affect him nor his actions that day.
Soon thereafter, everything fell apart. ADVENT was formed, and declared any armed forces not under their direct control were criminals to be hunted down unless they willingly laid down their arms, be they military, criminal, police or civilian. For the most part, though, it didn't matter. It was the early days of the ADVENT Coalition and there was plenty of distrust and anger directed at the invaders. For a while there was a demand for weapons, and soon thereafter both supply and demand dwindled to nothing, and all his subordinates were no more, however it happened. The empire he spent over a decade building, dismantled within two and a half years.
There had always been a quiet resistance, but when he ran out of weapons to sell and subordinates to lend, he made a decision. Removing his old shotgun and machete from their display cases for the first time in years, he decided he would destroy ADVENT in a year, or die trying. Imagine the surprise on the faces of the self-appointed leaders of the resistance when he walked through the door and offered his services.
i hope you have that mod that lets you make an absurdly long character bio, or maybe you can just edit an .ini file to get the desired result.

Color: zebra (black and white)
Face: African with black dreadlocks
Biography: William was a boy who grew up in the South African city of Lagos, when a violent terror strike occurred. The original XCOM was already on its last legs, and they could not send a squad to help. A plasma round struck a fuel line near his apartment, igniting a massive explosion that knocked him unconscious . He awoke days later in a dumpster, for the most part unharmed.

He refuses to talk about it, but has since then, vowed to fight ADVENT and their alien puppet masters, to restore Earth to what it once was.

He fought with them ever since, always trying to cheer up and help his comrades, just like he did before with the children he worked with.
When he learned about X-COM, he tried to contact them, hoping to help the fight on a greater scale, and that his life could be used to save future generations.

Name: Posey "Poseidon" Waters
Nothing defining except he is really tan (think native american) and he has a large beard
Story: He was raised on a reservation for a lot of his life and decide to move away to get out of the lifestyle. He was always a slacker and never really thought he would amount to anything but when he heard about the government starting another program to rid the aliens he figured it was his chance to show the world what he can do. He lived with his aunt when the first invasion happened and he told her he had to do something about it so he researched the topic but the first invasion ended before he could join, now that the rebellion is starting he is prepared and ready to join the fight.
Good luck with the game Chris, looking forward to it.
Gregory "Gryphon" Morris; An American entrepreneur at the age of 26, came to his apartment after a long day of work. He opened the door to his abode and took one step inside. As soon as his foot hit the floor he heard a beep. His Blue Eyes widened as he dove away from the door frame. A plume of fire erupted from the entire apartment block as he was thrown to the ground. Glasses cracked, crowned blond hair muddied, he watched as the shambles of his home were replaced by a sectoid statue waving around its *cough cough* unmentionables. He ran as advent units came towards him to finish him off. He lost the units and ran down an alley and bumped into a greyed old man. The man gave Greg a piece of paper that read "vigilo confido". The rest they say... is history.

Ralphie McDingus rascist piece of fucking shit stereotyping people from the middle east!!!!
Chill out bro, I'm a minority myself, and experience racism all of the time. I was joking that Chris is racist because he specifically chose her to plant the explosives for no reason.
I Would like to be a character

Name: Dominus "Vagus" Flayo
Nationality: (Slovak/Czech)
Defining characteristic: Hoodie (you know that thing on a sweaters that goes over your head
Color scheme: Poisonious green and black
Bio: Dominik used to be by all accounts kind hearted, day dreaming person, that type that grew up with stories of heroes such are those of Jrr Tolkien. He adhered to a christianity and he believed that everyone should be met with kind smile and forgiving heart. He had a little sister. Her name is uknown, but he used to call Luna, because of some old joke that inclueded word "lunatics" and "bamboozle". Luna was quite a prodigy and had shown some mysterious powers, similiar to those of Advent. When Dominic found out she told her to hide them and never show them to anyone. Alas, Luna was too young to understand the danger and she played with her "psy" powers from time to time. It seemes that one of their neighbours have seen that and told the Advent. They took her one day when they were walking down the street. Dominic tried to protect her, but he was too weak to do anything, barely escaping himself. He never saw her again. The weight of guilt and shame changed him. His thoughts became dark and so did his heart. he became a wander whose only final destination was vengance. And so Dominic died and Dominus was born. His search for vengence drove him to become powerful warrior and eventually joined the x-com. Though his action are brutal and his heart knows no mercy, some say that there still is some well hidden kindness in his heart.
