There will be spoilers
Weeks have passed since XCom, a group of meme-spouting robots, people who can't aim with rocket launchers, memory implanted clones, and other ne'er-do-wells assaulted the temple ship with inexplicably one squad with no backup or support. Skyrangers are expensive, they don't just grow on trees. Plus we HAD two for all of 3 seconds, but then the aliens blew it up during the base assault. Oh, and the temple ship blew up throwing eleyrium everywhere making every human potentially a latent psychic.
Still, the work of the XCom project is never done. It takes a lot of work to fund mad science and lavish parties through arms dealing laser weapons. The Party Barge, a de-weaponed battleship captured over Beijing causes a lot of property damage when someone wants to drive it for the first time. Oh, and something about a vague threat of 'what comes next' or something. We can probably ignore-
"Commander, a new alien battlegroup has been sighted approaching earth. These new contacts bear different markings from the first wave of-" *static, until the image is replaced with that of an Ethereal*
Citizens of Earth, we would like to congratulate you on your victory over a splinter group of our empire, those guys were jerks. Anyhow, blah blah blah, uplifted into galactic civilization, blah blah next phase of your knowledge as a species. Just have to take care of one thing first
A kinetic strike from orbit hits just south of Kansas City, Missouri, hitting a top secret military bunker.
Playthrough Rules
This is a blind playthrough of XCOM2 following in the footsteps of the previous XCom ITP
I haven't decided on difficulty, but it's likely on whatever the game calls normal
No save scumming
Recommendations will be taken from the thread, but this will not do the "hivemind" decision structure
Roster
If you'd like to be an agent, VIP, or EVIL COLLABORATOR WHICH WILL BE CRUSHED please post your preferred class, customization options, and whether you want to wear a monocle (default is yes). The clone lab (which never existed) was blown up, so if your operative dies, the only recourse we have is to recruit your secret identical twin who will have a mustache.
If you've posted in the XCOM2 master thread I'll be adding you to the roster.
If you want to be a psy-op, well the ship has probably sailed on that one as the resources to field many of them probably won't be had
Eldan - any class, dark hair, swiss nationality, German language pack if necessary
Cikomyr, French-speaking Canadian. Heavy weapon Enthusiast. If you can make it. Bald with a brown goatee and a Tiley Hat if possible. Fair skinned
Flickerdart, Russian nationality (not sure if you can get the right voice, if not then English is fine). Brown hair.
Yana, American (preferably not a southern accent), blonde, ranger, monocle. Sniper
Dienekes, American, Chicago/Midwestern accent. Tall guy, glasses, with brown beard and hair. If you're going for accuracy scar under left cheek and hair looks like it hasn't been combed ever. Ranger (sword)
SlyGuyMcFly, Caucasian, British accent, fedora and cigarette. If possible, plaid pattern on the armor. Grenadier class.
Silfer - monocle and top hat, with bad aim and a stock
Khaine, Scandinavian psyker.Huge man, long blond hair, a beard you could lose small birds in. Likes comming up with zen like comments, and dedicated pacifist, refusing to harm another human being. But killing aliens with his mind.
TheTeaMustflow is a bit long, so maybe just Teasman. XCOM or friendly VIP (don't mind class), either as English or as Welsh as possible
Narkis - Greek Ranger, slicing filthy xenos up close and personal, as it was meant to be.
Raziel, an Israeli Ranger/marksman, brown hair, trimmed beard. likes calling himself death incarnate because of his time in the I.D.F
Artanis "Legacy" d'Aiur, male American Psi-trooper. Preferably wielding a bright blue weapon, yellow/gold armor, no helmet, and something to make it look like his eyes glow
Hiro Protagonest, Sniper or Ranger, fair skin, long hair and beard like Jesus, baseball cap (with mic if they still have that option from EU/EW). American. Black armor with silver (or white if unavailable) trim/highlights/accents. Basically make it look as much like Raven Guard armor as possible.
Sholos, reporting for duty! Hacking extraordinaire, never leave home without my Gremlin. American male, white, fan of solid bold colors that probably have no place on the battlefield. Bright green hair, blown-out style and will absolutely take a monocle into any altercation.
Neanderthal Kugg reporting for GRAAAAAAAHHH!
Preferred class: Ranger.
This color skin, long black hair, earth-tone armor. Monocle? "Pip pip."
