Roll 30: Crawler: Crawlers are the most common Xer'Gi, literally mass produced from the Xer'gi lairs. To speed up their growth, their claws and limbs are grown independently then attached to larvae to complete growth.
They are lightning-fast yet expendable, making them perfect for wasting enemy ammunition or ambushing unsuspecting targets expecting larger foes.
Mook Issue:
Claws (+5 Penetration)
Biped: The bipeds are among the smartest of the generic strains of Xer'gi, with a visible brain that emits light through their translucent head. They have impeccable aim, quickly regenerating arm spikes, as well as blood vessels reinforced with a strange purple material that contrasts their green exterior. They wear armor over their chest and legs, leaving their arms free to operate weaponry and machinery.
Despite having a pair of sharp mandibles for a jaw, they can speak quite articulately but lack strong biting abilities. They are normally herbivores.
Mook Issue:
Alien Crossbow
Spikes (+5 Penetration)
BehemotH: Behemoths are massive, lumbering, and extremely stupid beasts capable of leveling buildings in a fit of rage. They have four legs each reinforced with ribs of green crystal and are tipped with red crystal claws. The head has massive green crystal plates as armor concealing a huge maw straight from the mind of Lovecraft. Two massive tentacles breach through the armor at the base of its neck and bear razor-sharp blades as well as menacing tusks on each end to draw in their helpless prey.
Its back is riddled with jagged spikes and thick green armor plates.
Behemoths have the unique ability to adapt following life-threatening circumstances. For example, if one survives an explosion, it will almost certainly have thicker armor plates next time it fights.
Mook Issue:
Tentacles (Grasping)
Maw (+10 Penetration) (+10 Penetration Depth)
BrUte: The brutes are a unique strain of Xer'gi, known not only for their strength and size, but their complete inability to process morality codes.
They have blueish plates over their crystalline skin, as well as large blades on their arms. Other than that and a difference in proportion, they look very much like a large biped with more armor.
Their armor gives a massive bonus to resistance, while their blades are highly effective melee weapons, despite the fact that they generally prefer ranged weapons due to their speed.
Mook Issue:
CrysPlate Mail (+5 Armor) (+3 Structure)
Jagged Blades (+5 Penetration)
(-1 Speed)
Commander Issue:
Powered CrysPlate Mail (+5 Armor) (+5 Structure)
Jagged Blades (+5 Penetration)
Elite: Elites don blue armor and wield all sorts of deadly weaponry. They stand seven feet tall and and dwarf even the tallest humans. Despite their brutal nature, they are quite civilized and can be reasoned/negotiated with.
Mook Issue:
Force Mail (Green) (+2 Armor) (+1 Structure)
Pounder Gauss Rifle (+3 Impact)
(Speed +1)
Squadron Leader Issue:
Force Shields
Magnetized Armor (Blue) (+4 Armor) (+10 Structure) (Impact Resistant)
Mediator Plasma Repeater (THERMAL DAMAGE)
(Speed +1)
Hawk: The Hawk is the standard alien air-control fighter. It does not excel at air-superiority, but in large numbers they make good cannon fodder. They fire generic +5 Penetration shards. (Armor +1) (Structure +1)
Falcon: The Falcon has heavy forward shielding, slowing it down due to the drag but also increasing its maneuverability. They are very difficult to take on alone as they can out-turn most vehicles. They fire generic +5 Penetration shards like the Hawks. (Armor +5) (Structure +2)

---Players---
Sareesa-2-You knock the alien out with a quick punch to the head. That was easier than you thought.
Noticing the object in his hand, you put it off to the side and fail to notice its glowing.
Tying the alien to a chair in the corner with some rope you find, you look around for a pistol of sorts. You don't find one.
Suddenly, you take notice of the devices beeping. You suddenly feel as if you are being fed through a meat grinder into a kitten's mouth. When it stops, you feel like nothing just happened. Weird.
You then see your stats list, and plaintively sigh.
NEW PERK UNLOCKED!Gordon-4-Instead of yelling, you simply hold the trigger down and smile innocently as you unleash hundreds of bullets. Things can't get any better than this.
The two subordinates fall immediately under the hail of fire, leaving the squad leader as the sole survivor.
New Killstreak!: Pavelow... oh wait, you already have a chopper. NEXT.
Rayn-2-You hop onto Salth and fly over to taric, who then jumps up and runs towards the fight, completely ignoring you.
Taric-2-
You jump up and run towards the golem, reaching for your gun. Despite the fact that it is in fact a sock, you open fire anyway as ducks fall from the sky, crushing the golem.By the way, your gun is and was empty this whole time.
Tarran-5-
"Well, you guys are obviously intelligent. So let me ask you: Is this job really worth dying for? Can't we all just have a cup of tea?"After saying this, you continue to fire at the last elite, nailing him in the head and breaking his shields, knocking him to the ground from the force of the dissipation.
Kir'Zhan-4-Deciding that you'd like to steal the kill, you throw yourself down from the roof, and land right next to the elite. He then grabs you by the throat.
Zrk-4-While the elite struggles to figure out what to do next (as he has no melee weapon, and his gun is two-handed) he quickly throws Kir'Zhan, who then grabs the gun and knocks him out with it. You jam the spork into one of his eyes, immediately waking him up again.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Game Event: The elite grins.
"I believe there is nothing left for me to do."Zrk looks at Kir'Zhan, who whispers whether they should kill him now or not.
"But you will not be getting out of this alive. You are surrounded. There is no esca---!"Before it finishes its sentence, a massive blade covered in green blood replaces the elites head.
Thea steps forward, retracting the weapon.
"I've rigged up the colony ship's doors to explode any time now. But right now we've got bigger stuff on our hands."A behemoth, followed by four more, each mounted by a brute wielding over-sized melee weapons, breaks through a building behind the group.
"I can fly up on top of the SAM tower to give some cover fire, but anyhow, we've got company."Enemy army incoming!
-------------------------------------------------------------
For Damage and Armor:
Penetration consists of bonuses to penetrating armor. If a shot is landed (Depending on a normal roll with negatives based on speed) then penetration is the first roll calculated. Basically:
Penetrate if: d6 + [Penetration Bonus] > [Armor]
Penetration Depth increases the chance of internal damage. A +5 penetration depth will guarantee severe internal damage if the armor is breached.
Impact is used afterwards, especially if the attack fails to penetrate. Structural damage is calculated by:
Damage: d6 * [Velocity] + [Impact] - [Structure]
The higher the number, the more successful it is. 10 is considered fatal to most beings.
For Wounds:
Brown = Bruised
Orange = Flesh wound
Green = Poisoned/infected
Red = Loss of function, non-permanent
Teal = Permanent loss of function
Crimson = Artery damage
Black = Permanently disabled
White = Missing
