Added an image to my soldier's post.

[poketwo]

I can wait.

[Neonivek]

Edited out

[Furtuka]

I think you said that the first time I submitted him too.

WHOOPS!

I completely forgot. Sorry

[IronyOwl]

Also, the request for an image of a person from a video game or movie is still there, a mild bit more urgent if it is going to be in the first game post.

I doubt I'm of any help here, but did you have anything in particular you were looking for?

I'm using the one provided by GentlemanRaptor (unless that one was meant to be for his character, in which case, I'll change it).  I'm running the turn right now.

That was for my character.

Sorry.  Changing it now.

I don't think I'll have much time to run the first turn, so here's the initial stuff.

January 1, 1999: Set-up and Meeting the Initial Soldiers

: "Sir, I am not certain that saying 'what could possibly go wrong' was such a good idea."
: "Why?  This isn't a video game or movie of some kind."
: "More of the principle of the matter, sir."
: "What, you don't believe in the stuff they're saying about aliens do you?"
: "All I can say is, if there is a god, or fate is working in our lives, then saying 'what could possibly go wrong' and that something doesn't exist, you're is only provoking it."
: "Let's just move into the base.  Which one did they pick.  Is it 'NotASecretBase'?  I liked that one."
: "The one with the most signees is 'A-Team' in North America."
: "Is it in Colorado?"
: "Kansas."
: "Fuck."

: "Well, can you send in the troops so I can see them?"
: "Of course, sir."

: "Colonel, what is this?"
: Ready for action.
: "Apparently Ready for action, sir."

: "Greetings soldier.  You're from DARPA, correct?"
"You in charge?  You gonna give me a gun and some beer anytime soon?"
: "At the same time?"
"Of course, is there any other way?"
: "You'll get them on the flight out."
"That going to happen anytime soon?  I wanna blow shit up."
: "Maybe."

: "Greetings Soldier.  You're the first volunteer we had, and the third soldier in the unit."
: "Soldier?  Unit?  I came to fix the LAN at the recruitment office.  I don't want to go fight a war!"
: "You're getting paid forty thousand dollars a month, and our objective means that you won't likely be in deployed in combat, mostly just being around the base."
: "No, I wil...wait, how much?  Where are the guns at?"

: "Greetings Soldier.  Welcome to X-Com."
"..."
: "You are about to take part in a great force, fighting off multiple forces of unknown power.  Isn't that exciting?"
"..."
: "Don't you have anything to say?"
"..."
: "..."
"..."
: "I think I'm going to like this guy."

: "Greetings Soldier.  Welcome to X-Com."
"Who the hell did I piss off to come here on 4 year deployment?"
: "How long did you have left on your force?"
"Two weeks."
: "I had one day and was in command of an army.  Now I'm under a 6 year deployment under this guy."
: "Hey!"
: "No offense, sir."

: "'Allo.  Itsa mea Mario."
: "Dear lord this guy is going to give me a headache."
: "I don't think you'll be the only person."

: "Is this a tart?  Why is there a tart here?"
: "We're an equal opportunity employer, sir."
: "This is a tart.  A caramel tart."
: "Of course, sir."

: "Well that was an interesting hour."
: "Four hours, sir."
: "Seriously, he lectured about synergy and workplace communication for four hours and how he should be at the top rank."
: "Sir?"
: "Yes?"
: "Permission to speak freely?"
: "Granted."
: "Can I shoot him next time he tries that?"
: "Permission denied.  Which one are we going to speak with next?"
: "That was the last one."
: "Thank GOD.  Is there anything else to attend to?"
: "The scientists need to be assigned a project."
: "They have any avenues of research they want to go down?"
: "They have three in mind: advanced medkits, motion sensors, and laser weapons."
: "Put two on advanced medkits, two on motion sensors, and six on laser weapons.  I like flashy stuff."
: "I'll keep that in mind, sir."

[Darkening Kaos]

   Auspicious start.

   I'd like to alter my loadout, if it doesn't go over the encumberance limit, change over to an autocannon with incendiary rounds, no need for anything else.

[IronyOwl]

Oh yeah, I was so busy shaking my head at how everyone was going to die that I forgot to actually look at my stats.

...mostly okayish; I'm not actually familiar enough with them to say.

The fact that his bravery is high, strength is low, and reactions are either low or low by comparison does make me chuckle, though. The first two are what you get for being a good officer and/or dealing with petty crime, while carrying nothing but a handgun. The latter's what you need to get surprised and leap back dramatically as you're slain.

[Mephansteras]

Nice, Raven has pretty good stats for a sniper. TUs could be better, but everything else is spot on.

Found a picture you can use for Raven.

[MaximumZero]

Fuck yeah, accuracy of all kinds.

[RAM]

Well, I have the health that I wanted, so all's good!
