Let me introduce you to my Xcoms!

Post by sirburton »

First of all, let me warn you that what you're about to see, has been directly stolen from Advent's Archives.
So reading these dossiers might arouse SUSPECTS around your identity, and I take NO responsability for this.
( :mrgreen: - L e L - :mrgreen: )

Basically I'm just going to show you my Xcoms and feel free to tell me what you think of them, or if you want more info about their skin/customization/skill and so on
Also pls let me know of any grammatical/lexical weirdness.

Lou -O'boss- Barrese
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Italian, gunner, 42 years old
Former leader of one of the strongest Italian-American outlaw clan, he has said 'addio' to the outlaw business and now he's fully committed to the human cause. Colonel on-board of the Avenger, he's personally coordinating most of the on-the-field operations against Advent. Despite all the security rules (or simply common sense), he would never wear a helmet, or anything different from his Stetson hat!
Anikka -Mistress- Mellberg
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Alternative look with archon armor... which fits her pretty well I'd say!
Image
Image

Sweden, ranger, 29 years old
She's a military prodigy and one of the leaders of SDF (Scandinavian Defenders of Freedom). She has decided to momentarily abandon her regional cause to take part in a world wide mission. She brings all her anger on the battlefield, along with "baby", her plasma shotgun
Diao -Jammer- Feng
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Chinese, specialist, 24 years old
Lily's most gifted collaborator, she's a true computer genius. Hacking MECs? A piece of cake for Diao and her Gremlin.
Shen -Khan- Yuan
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Mongolian, shinobi, 27 years old
Master of several martial disciplines, Shen is the chosen chieftain of the eldest mongolian warrior clan He thinks that the war on Advent will be the best way to prove he's truly worthy of the title of Master Warlord
Lydie -Cutie- Maupassant
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
French, grenadier, 29 years old
Lydie was a woman like many others, before the war started. She ran her perfumery and being a talented chemist, she sold her own creations. Now she creates grenades and, according to her words, the recipes are a 'bit' different and the flavour of a burning chrysalid can be even more gracious than a luxury perfume!
Nicole -Nitro-Pierce
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Canadian, technical, age unknown but probably between 28-35
Few is known about Nicole. No one has ever seen the face behind the gasmask; the mask now probably hides horrible burns all over her face due to a fire attack on her district by Advent. As you see her using her trusted burner, you'll easily understand the words 'take your worst fear, make it your strength'.
Konrad -Jackal- Akpro
Spoiler: show
Image
Image

American, sniper, 54 years old
Born in Ghana, Konrad moved to US when he was still a kid. With a remarkable career in the US army, Konrad is the veteran of the crew. Master in 'old school' sniping, Konrad was considered as one of the most lethal snipers long before the word 'alien' meant more than just a sci-fi movie genre.
Yuri -Deadsec- Voronin
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Russian, specialist, 36 years old
Yuri is a former KGB agent and founder of Deadsec, an elitè military cell focusing its efforts against Advent in the eastern Europe area. Yuri can be seen as the perfect fusion between an agent and a soldier; he's a skilled hacker with uncommon marksman skills
Patrick -Scar- Mokoena
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Zimbabwean, grenadier, 38 years old
Patrick has taken part in several wars that haunted all the african continent during the last two decades. He probably knows more than anyone else the meaning of words like 'war', 'pain', 'struggle'. It's not hard to understand why he's known as 'Scar' among the troops.
Patrick is fearless on the battlfield and he's totally relying on his heavy armor (which features a prosthetic arm) and his grenades belts.
Stefan -C4- Bauer
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
German, grenadier, 47 years old
As you can probably understand from his nickname, Stefan is quite a vintage guy. X4? Kids' stuff! Nothing is better than the good old C4 for Herr Bauer! Stefan has served in the BB (Berling Brigade) an indipendent partisan force with a key role in the war on Advent in Germany.
Now he's the one responsible for the armory and all the bellic gear on the Avenger.
Hideyasu -Oni- Tokugawa
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
His new alternative look
Image
Image

Japanese, gunner, 31 years old
Hideyasu's family name is one of the most ancient and important in the history of Japan, and he intends to honorate it. He considers himself as a modern Samurai willing to tribute his life to the cause, if necessary to prove his unbreakable loyalty to the Xcoms and their goals.
He wears an oni tengu mask on the battlefield, which belonged to his grandfather, one of the last samurai.
Subject -Arthur- 01
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Belgian, shinobi, 27 years old
Arthur Lemmens was the most skilled Xcom in solo infiltrations. During a mission in the australian sector, something went wrong. Sooner or later, it always happens. Arthur was infected with a highly complex serpens' poison which caused a progressive physical decay which would quickly lead to death. Medical staff agreed that implementing alien bio-technology was the unique option to have some real chance of saving Arthur. That's how Arthur became Subject-01, the first human being saved from certain death using prototypic alien/human technology. Since then, Arthur has reduced his relation with crew to the minimum. Also he doesn't want to be called Arthur Lemmens anymore; whoever tries to, will face his unwithstandable rage.
Yue Ying -Claw- Song
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Chinese, shinobi, 25 years old
Yue Ying is the prototype of the perfect soldier, 'made' looking at the future shapes of war and espionage. She was an elite soldier of the Chinese army when she decided to join Cyber-Soldier program. Her body has been surgically merged with an exoskeleton made of a top secret alloy. Her quickness is simply no match for any alien now. She uses a high frequency plasma ninjato.
Ahmed 'AmTàr' Salah
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Egyptian, ranger, 42 years old
AmTàr is the arab word for 'rain', which is seen as something very close to a miracle in the northern Africa and beyond the maghreb.
That's also a way to look at Ahmed's actions, something very close to a miracle, or the 'unfailing will of the Gods' as some says.
We can't speak of 'official acknowledgment', but it's quite sure that the name of AmTàr has been heard and pronounced in many liberated villages and rural centers, from Cairo to Cape of Good Hope. He's well geared (plasma xbow, pistol and sawn off coil shotgun) and his actions on the battlefield prove he must have followed some elitè guerrilla training, so it's reasonable to believe that he was a veteran merc before undertaking his crusade against Advent. He has a deep scar on his face but it looks more like some sort of 'mark of belonging' to some unknown sect.
Ranya -Sahàba- Salah
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Egyptian, shinobi, 23 years old
She joined the Xcoms together with AmTàr and all we knew was her name and her codename Sahàba (cloud). Though they don't like to talk about their past and personal life, it looks quite obvious that AmTàr and Sahàba share a family bond. Same eye colour, same mark on the face, quite similar equipment and combat style. Judging from their age, Ranya is most certainly Ahmed's daughter. Ranya has an extraordinary talent in solo infiltrations.
Colin -In'Sane- Kerrigan
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Welsh, technical, 28 years old
Colin is the most recent member of the Xcoms. Though he never attended any military training, Colin is one of the leading personalities of the UKR (United Kingdom Reborn), an indipendent military force gathering rebels and resources from all the United Kingdom.
Legion -Geth- Sp-03
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Synthetic platform
Ehm....I don't think you need me to tell you who this is LEL! Well, I hope so! Let's just say that it is a synthetic platform developed by Lily and my Diao Feng to provide hacking support on the battlefield
Marquis -Sp01- De Sade
Spoiler: show
Image
The first Spark unit of my crew. His strengths? A plasma cannon and his irresistible french snob eloquence!
Winston -Sp02- Churchill
Spoiler: show
Image
I bet you've already seen that armor somewhere! My second spark, very talkative, very british!
Now my PsiOps

Kali -Shadow- Yuga
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Indian, PsiOp, unknown
His identity, his name, it's all much probably a fake. What we know for sure is that Kali was born somewhere in Asia, probably India. He's the most powerful PsiOp Xcom, his 'mental tricks' are quite feared by sectoids too! Kali is the living proof of the indispensability of PsiOps in the war on aliens. He doesn't speak much and has never revealed details about where and what kind of training he followed to gain such psi power. His psionic knowledge is unprecedented.
Naoki -Hex- Yamaguchi
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Japanese, PsiOp, 24 years old
Naoki was considered a genius when she was just a child. Chess Master at only 8 years old, she spent her childhood between research facilities and scientist trying to figure out the secrets behind her gifted mind. At her twelfth she escaped from that life made of unidirectional windows. She started living as a street rebel, as a punk, until the day she found out that the war on advent was her path.
Once noticed by the Xcoms, she was suddenly recruited and proved to be eligible more than anyone else for the psionic training.
Igor -Nemesis- Shkvyrin
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Uzbek, PsiOp, 36 years old
Igor was kidnapped and became one of the many human subjects for Advent's cruel experiments. However he managed to escape the facility in time to save his life, but too late to preserve its original shape. The abundant alien grafts deeply changed him, making him unrecognizable to his family too. All Igor could do was to carry his anger on the battlefield thus becoming one of the most powerful PsiOps.
He's able to speak and understand the Advent Troops' language.
Yasmine -Codex- Al-Khalifa
Spoiler: show
ImageImageImageImage
Saudi Arabian, PsiOp, unknown
War on Advent is getting harder and crueler with every passing day. If we want to win this war, maybe we must use all our resource, even the dangerous ones. We don't know who Yasmine Al-Khalifa was, nor 'how much of her' is truly left inside that cybernetic body. Her voice, so shrill and distorted one might think it's coming out of some glitchy synthesizer. What is now known as -Codex- is a psionic prototype project funded by Saudi Arabia and other arabian countries. The Xcoms were allowed to 'use' the full potential of Codex in battle at one simple and clear condition stated by the arabian governments: no one, xcom staff or not, is allowed to conduct any sort of analysis on -Codex-.
So all we have are Shen's suppositions, which lead us to think that the scientists managed somehow to recreate a perfect synergy between a human being and the astonishing psionic abilities of that alien class known as Codex. The secret must be inside that huge 'helm gear' she's wearing....if we could just give a look inside!
3rd Echelon
Spoiler: show
Image
This is 3rd Echelon, what we might call 'a task-force within a task-force'. We don't know who's behind 3rd Echelon, who runs it, who's backoning it. What we know is that 3rd Echelon's soldiers that joined the Xcoms are extremely talented soldiers with a strict sense of discipline. We know their names, their codenames, their country, but there's no lead whatsoever about their past or their training.

Jane -Major- Kelly
Image
Image
English, assault, 28 years old
Major is the leader of the 3rd Echelon task force joining the Xcoms. She's a lethal and fearless soldier with a strong leading inclination and an unbreakable discipline. Martial art master and a gauss shotgun seems to be her favourite weapon.

Maria -Muchacha- Salazar
Image
Image
Ecuadorian, sniper, 26 years old
Muchacha is the most talkative member of 3rd Echelon, but still she isn't revealing anything about her task force. Despite her funny codename, Maria has proven to be one of the best snipers. High mobility and headshots are her business card.

Vasilij -Spetsnaz- Arshavin
Image
Image
Ukrainian, sniper, 39 years old
There's no proof that Vasilij was truly a member of the well known Spetsnaz, so it could be just a codename with no concrete reference. It seems like his eyes were brutally damaged during some clash, and now it's said that his cyber prosthetic eye grants him sharpshooting skills beyond human possibilities.

Kristen -Pancake- Jacobsen
Image
Image
Austrian, gunner, 31 years old
Kristen isn't much friendly with the other Xcoms outside her team. However, she and her gauss cannon, two things you can firmly rely on.

Ben -Butcher- Powell
Image
Image
American, assault, 36 years old
Ben's first codename was -Raging Bull- and it was given him by the other soldiers that witnessed his fury on the battlefield. He didn't like that nickname so he "politely" asked them to stop using it. There's a funny legend around his name: it's said that once Ben, along with his team, defeated an entire muton squad and managed to capture one of them. It is said that Ben decided to arm wrestle the muton and told it that the winner would have had the right to kill the loser. You can guess how it ended up.

Those are some cool looking soldiers. I would say my favourite looks would be Deadsec and Mistress.

The customation is one of my favourite parts of the game. I have over 100 soldiers in my pool.

Many thx ^^
Deadsec is probably the best face concept! At the beginning I had no idea of what to do with him, than I saw that sort of prosthetic eye and suddenly it was done!
Yeah I have 50 soldiers more or less but I tend to use always the same ones, basically my 'main' characters that I'm showing in this thread

Thank you ^^
Just posted 3 new things
-alternative look for Mistress
-alternative look for Oni
-and my brand new character! I've named him 'x x x' since I still haven't decided his name, nationality, story and so on (don't look at his name/nationality, it's from another soldier). All I know is that he looks pretty cool and he's probably my most heavily geared soldier! (bolt caster + gauss pistol + shorty)
