Ha. You people. 
Post notes are set up. I just have to grind it out Tuesday (today). Good news everyone: missions are basically done. Meaning character upgrades are right around the corner, along with new missions.

@Everyone: First wave of missions completed! Here's how things will go from here.
Schedule
Saturday 30-Monday 1: New mission roster will come up following an event.
Saturday 6-Sunday 7: New mission roster's IC posts will come up. It may or may not include battle maps right then, but battle maps will be present during battle sequences.
Upgrades
Regular: In case you want to continue to pursue and upgrade your current class, and not a new one.
Multi-classing: Add the class' base (beginning) stats. For PIlots this means the starting mech, for Grunts this means two weapon mods and two pieces of advanced training, for Listeners this means two mutations from the same archetype.
Then add one of these, depending on which hybrid you are.
Note: If multi-classing seems a little weak, it's supposed to be if you decide to do that early on instead of hunkering down and focusing on a single class. Keep in mind also that you get all the base benefits of that class too, so your upgrades are minimal to account for your power growth spurt.
Achievements
Achievements will be added later, likely tomorrow, as I have to go to work and I'd rather not rush out character-defining aspects.
Though quickly for Kiku, your character will be getting a mechanical arm.
Vehicles/Universal "Scrap"/Etc
If you want something, let me know and we'll work it out. Think more stuff to customize your character, less to make them superior in combat. Stuff like a motorcycle or a jeep or etc. Assets will be coming soon as well, I need more time with them like I need with achievements.
As always if you have any questions, just ask. Until then, I just wanted you all to know that your loyalty and patience is immensely appreciated. No, really, I mean that, like I asked who was still here and within 24 hours I had 13/15 players immediately respond to me, either here in the OOC or over IM's. Just. Wow. Thanks, everyone. This one's for you.

Upgrades
Regular: In case you want to continue to pursue and upgrade your current class, and not a new one.
You receive four "scrap" points to upgrade your mech and invent new technology for it. Use these points to upgrade existing weapons or armour, to add slots on your mech for equipment, and to invent new weapons and armour. You can also take this opportunity to completely redo your mech's current arsenal and equipment to your heart's content.
As well, add this to your character sheet underneath your mech's specifications.
Technology Marches On: All pilots are now equipped with a pair of nanotech gloves which have wireless technology. State of the art, these gloves allow them to attempt to hijack the controls of an opposing mech at short range, and grant them access to a small, mechanized companion. This can be anything from a small aerial gun drone to a robotic puppy. Their "companion" has two ability slots and so long as there is no interference in the gloves, will obey every command given to them.
The gloves are also quite hardy and thick to protect the nanotechnology, however, they aren't indestructible. Given that you will typically be wearing these gloves however, if they are damaged, it should be noted that the amount of force or heat to damage them will likely completely wreck the user's hand. So it's only a small concern, so long as the technology isn't hit with an electromagnetic pulse or other similar device-ruining weapon.

Select one existing mutation which you have to upgrade, add a mutation from any of the listener trees, and create a custom mutation for your character. Atop this, your character will also receive one random mutation which has negative side effects, but does still grant a bonus or ability.
As well, add this to your character's sheet underneath their mutations.
In Forma, Quod Puritas: Having a closer connection to the mutants in the fog than any human could ever hope to have, these individuals have started to realize their true potential in the face of the oncoming force. They can now acutely hear and understand what the mutants in the shadow zone say to each other verbally or telepathically, and are immune to the horrible side effect of coming into direct contact with them: They cannot be either absorbed or burned. Situations which would petrify a normal person, such as the glare of a shadow wolf, have no effect on this mutant.
Wounds sustained are now rapidly healed, though this exhausts the mutant. For perspective: They can heal broken bones in minutes. This doesn't however render them immune to pain, which can still send them into shock, nor to blood loss, which can end their lives. Though notable their blood has taken on a somewhat lighter hue than that of a regular human, a more pinkish colour than red.

Add one weapon modification to your weapon and create one custom modification to add to your weapon. Add one piece of combat training, and select an existing piece of combat training for upgrading.
As well, add this to your character's sheet underneath their Advanced Training section.
Manifest Destiny: Humanity has a knack for survival, for a variety of reasons. The first is their versatility: These Grunts have trained hard enough that they can wield any weapon masterfully and without penalty. The second is their numbers: These Grunts can radio in for artillery strikes or aerial support and generally can get at least one per mission. The third is their stubborn ingenuity: These Grunts have access to top of the line technology like Pilots to amplify their abilities, and have access to the same laboratories. This grants access to one piece of custom technology, here are a few suggestions, though Grunts are of course free to make up their own ideas.
Camo-Suit: Blend in against the environment.
Mechanized Adaptions: Putting in gyros and other such things to increase the amount of strength, speed, and durability to your armour.
Power Suit: Because nothing spells America like size. Remember how the heavy trooper in the apartment mission took a grenade and shrugged it off?
Biochem Shots: Like the ones that Morai used, to allow the user to perform near superhuman feats and work through injuries.
Heatseeking Grenades: Because nothing spells America like explosions to the face.
Motion Sensor: Maybe you'd like your motion sensor in your hands instead of inside the giant mech, so you can take it with you inside buildings.

Matthew upgrade:
Upgrade mutation: Feather Bones
New Mutation: Muscle Stimulus
New Unique Mutation: Poisonous Claw: Matthew's nails turns to a material of similar hardness as his fangs, it also able to introduce a small amount of paralytic poison to those wounded by it. Enough dose in one's blood, and their heart will stop. (Bonus: Poison claws and immunity to this specific poison) (Mutation Effect: All of his nails turns purple)
Negative Mutation: ?

Nathaniel's upgrades are as follows.
Upgrade Synaptic Parasite
Add Charming Aura (this is cumulative with the diplomacy bonus of Too Innocent To Kill, right?)
Custom mutation - Divine Flesh: Nathaniel's body, having experienced its first real life or death combat with a gun, has adapted to improve his odds of survival. The muscles and nerves throughout his body have changed and become better than they were mere days ago, and even his brain has gotten a bit of a boost. Nathaniel's reaction time has improved greatly over that of the average human, to the point that he can start moving out of the way of an attack at almost the same instant as his opponent starts to move, and when he decides to attack without warning he is quick enough to almost always get the drop on his opponent. In addition, his hand eye coordination has improved and his hand and arms are far steadier than they used to be when holding a gun, which is a great boon to his accuracy in firing. (Bonus to reflexes and gun accuracy) (Mutation effect: The veins in Nathaniel's hands and arms now stand out very clearly and vividly through his skin, and they appear red instead of blue.)

Just letting you all know system updates are on the way. For example: LMG and SMG main weapons for grunts. More on that later when I'm not at work.

A few questions, Brovo:
1. Can I only upgrade my main weapon (shotgun) as a Grunt, or can I upgrade my side pistol to make it more effective instead?
2. For clarification, every PC has their own apartment and they're all living in the same complex?
3. What does my promotion mean in the story besides the gameplay element of being able to officially order NPC soldiers?
4. Will promotions and rank in general play a major part in later missions?

All right, so I think I've decided on some upgrades for Marvin. At the moment I'm planning on a more horizontal (more guns, slots, etc) approach before going vertical (better guns, tech, etc).
Thus, here's what I have.
1x Right Shoulder Slot (both shoulders if at all possible). Shifting the HE Missiles there.
Installing a .50 Calibur Mini Gun in the Right Arm
1x Torso Slot. Installing a Motion Detection Package.
1x Back or Torso Slot (not sure which I want to do)
1x Invented Item:
Drone Deployment and Control Center: This package, about the size of a small backpack, allows for the deployment of aerial drones, controlled by the pilot's glove. Drones are stored inside of it, which recharges their batteries and protects them from onslaught. It's current capacity is only one drone, but can be upgraded to hold more. Also comes with the programming make use of the cameras aboard the drones.
Speaking of the Drone...
Valkyrie Mk. I:
Type: Aerial Drone
Equipment: Drone Sub Machine Gun, Video Cameras (Ability to see in any direction at once).
Description: This rather simple drone design has often been cited as little more than a gun with a helicopter on it. However, this drone is highly prized for it's mobility, being able to get into places that would be highly hazardous. Perhaps the most striking aspect is not it's weapon, but rather the camera that Marvin placed into it. This makes it a valuable scout, able to see dangerous areas before sending in the more vulnerable (and valuable) humans. With the Drone Deployment and Control Center, the pilot can see everything the drone sees.
Ability Gain:

@Everyone (Especially Grunts): I added Light Machine Guns and Submachine Guns to the custom weapon selection. If you want, you can exchange your current weapon to a new one for free, along with weapon mod changes. It's been pointed out to me repeatedly that these things are missing. NOT ANYMORE!
Stuff like grenade launchers though will still be custom mod territory.
Feather Bones
--Gas sacs (Rank 2): An evolution on the existing mutation, gas sacs are found all over the body, though most prominently in the limbs. These small sacs create small bumps on the skin that can be seen by the naked eye though can be hidden by clothing. They draw air from the lungs and store it, allowing the Listener in question to fall slower, jump even higher, or even make course adjustments in flight. At this point the Listener could jump to the top of a two storey building. Repeated use and abuse can easily fatigue the user, however. (Even faster movement, greater jump height, can survive greater falls, moderately improve defense while airborne.) (Mutation Effect: Visible bumps on the skin where sacs are located, unusually deep breathes with unusually shallow exhales from time to time.)
Random Mutation
Impulsive Paranoia: Mathew will sometimes twitch or spasm uncontrollable when faced with danger. This can sometimes save him from harm with an instinctive dodge, and sometimes ruin a perfectly good shot with a firearm. (Sometimes beneficial: Instinctive Dodging. Sometimes negative: Panic shots.) (Mutation Effect: Twitchy in combat.)
Suitcase Explosives. As in, the kind that level city blocks.
Wall crawling, likely. The ability to stick to any surface.
Synaptic Parasite
--Familial Legacy (Rank 2): Parasites can now travel a small distance independently to attempt to sneak up on and take over a host. They can also be thrown akin to grenades, however the parasites are quite vulnerable. The parasite now also has a 'kill switch', if someone attempts to remove it from its host or on command of its master, it will snap the spinal column and kill its host. Parasites can now attempt to dig into the host body's memories to find secrets and transfer these memories telepathically to the Swarm mutant, but this also gives the host a chance to overpower the parasite for a few moments. (General upgrades.) (Mutation Effect: Cockroaches and other insects are drawn to the swarm host.)
The diplomatic bonuses are somewhat cumulative, yes, though designed for different purposes.
Pick either the amazing reaction times or the accuracy bonus.
Random Mutation
The Voices: Nathaniel has noticed that on occasion he can hear the voices and conversations of entities within the Shadow Zone, even miles away back in Bunker Chicago. The only issue is when this happens, he has no way to discern or filter the voices, and so thousands of voices ring through his mind, some louder than others. This can induce nose bleeds and cause him to hallucinate. On the other hand, this can also give him extremely valuable intelligence about what the enemy is about to do. (Mutation effect is clear) (Mutation Effect: While in this state he very visible sweats and his pupils envelope the entirety of his eyes.)
More to come later when I can get home from work and get some good ole' sleep.
Stuff like grenade launchers though will still be custom mod territory.
