Name: The_breadbocks (Name rendered unpronounceable with current audio technologies. Nicknames: bread, breadbocks(pronounced breadbox), breadblocks, blocks, guy who's name is never capitalized)
Race: Human/Sectiod Hybrid
Gender: ????
Weapons: Mind Bender and (Ask me when we get there)
Bio: Was an experimental hybrid. First hybrid made, a couple years after the first Alien wars. Name was given to self, after being annoyed by the human name given to it. It is the only creature in the world capable of pronouncing his name. Closest hybrid to the sectiod race. After seeing the abominations that were the aquatiods, it requested to be put into cryo for the next big battle with the aliens...
OOC: He MUST have near max psi. The excuse you have for trying multiple times is it would be hard to find THE hybrid.

Actually, the hybrids in the recruitment pool are very bad. I think the best rookie hybrid would only be able to mind control 5% of the time or so, and then only for a short time (I'll be playing real-time). Endgame though, hybrids will dominate the battlefield, being equal with humans physically and being able to use psionics. Anyway, I'll put you in, but don't complain about poor psi skill.

Any weapon preferences?

About The Poet's age: By this point, humanity has developed the means to rewrite the cells "death timer" mechanism, effectively stopping aging.


Name: Akura
Race: Human Male
Weapons: Explosives mostly. Rocket launchers, bombs, etc. Will settle for an Autocannon until bigger weapons come available.
Bio: Has a fascination for explosions. Has a history of small jobs within the organized crime factions within Mega Primus. Ran afoul of the law during a job for Osiron to blow up a transport that turned out to belong to one of the prominent Technocrats. The intended target was not on the vehicle when it was destroyed, but facing forced-labor in the Elerium mines(a death sentence if you're lucky), he instead signed on with XCOM in exchange for a clean record should they win the fight against the aliens.

'Not a Secret Base' (3.5 votes)

VEHICLES:
-Cars-
'Party Van' (at least for the roomiest cars; air or land)
-Tanks-
'Shiela' (RvB reference)
-Bikes-
'Joyrider'
-Aircraft-
'Bloodfist' (Shameless self-plug; preferably with the better future craft. Could also name the starting craft it as well, I suppose.)

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Name: Tim Newton
Race: Human
Weapon: The biggest cannon-iest thing to hand
Bio: A man of SCIENCE! Tim enjoys hands-on demonstrations of various scientific concepts. Explosions are one of his favorites, what with air pressure and currents and temperature and such and he would really just love to blow it all up and watch the SCIENCE! happen.
