XCOM | To the Bitter End

---

In 2000, the United Nations convened in secret to discuss the growing amount of evidence indicating there was extraterrestrial forces on Earth. The result of the discussion was the creation of the Global Investigation Bureau under the project name: X-COM despite some strong objections by various parties, of which most are looking for any reason to validate is termination. The Global Invesigation Bureau, or GIB, was tasked with investigating the unusual activity of certain criminal organizations and religious sect as well as reports of strange creatures. As of the moment, the GIB are seen as little more than a side operation and are not taken very seriously. Little did they realize, the X-COM Project would become the key to Humanity's survival.

This is the story of two agents who there at the beginning of it all and fought the alien menace to the bitter end. It begins with our agents being selected to join the Global Investigation Bureau where they would be expected to find the truth behind the strange activity happening across the globe. There is no one to tell them what to expect or how to deal with it. They are pioneers. The first generation of Humanity's defenders from the alien threat that is far larger than anyone could imagine.

NPCs

The man in charge of the Global Investigation Bureau, Director Chardin is a retired member of French special forces and had worked in their intelligence department for many years. He was one of the individuals who pressure the United Nations into creating the X-COM Project and was one of the only qualified individuals available to lead it. There is perhaps no one else on the planet who believes as fully in the alien threat as the director, perhaps hinting at some prior encounter. He expects excellence from all of his operatives but more so wishes for them to return to base after every mission.

Despite her youth, Doctor Ehrenbaum is widely regarded as a prodigy in the field of biology with a wide range of skills at her disposal. She has a quite optimistic attitude which combined with her energetic personality makes her quite an eccentric individual. Ehrenbaum is the person in charge of keeping GIB operatives healthy as well as the autopsy of any strange creatures the GIB may encounter.

Kazakova is a former KGB agent with a record that makes it clear you do not want to be on her bad side. She was given the position with the assurance that any of her past transgressions would be expunged or pardoned. Her main task is extracting information from devices and/or people for leads on the either the aliens or the criminal organizations threatening global security. GIB operatives report having difficulty working with Kazakova.

Rogers is world renowned weapons specialist that due to a medical condition in his adolescence is unfit for field duty. He is in charge of making sure that field agents and the GIB HQ are well supplied and equipped. One of Roger's additional duties is the research of any unusual armaments the GIB come across as well as developing specialized munitions.

Short Story Ramblings

That Fateful Tomorrow

The year is 2020. Humanity verges of the edge of extinction following the creation of a large rift that brought creatures of nightmares into reality. This horde of monsters ruthlessly butchered all signs of life in their path. Those of religious conviction believed this to be a portal to hell itself and a sign of the end times. However, there was no salvation through rapture nor did one of the four horsemen descend upon the world. The terrifying truth was that it was a product of human corruption and desperation. An unintended consequence of using a poorly understood power, known as magic, to prevent a nuclear holocaust. It was in stopping one disaster that they created another. Screams of the innocent and the guilty cried out in one voice as abominations fed on Humanity's confusion and panic. By the time Humanity recovered, nearly 3.5 billions lives had been lost. It was only through the bravery and sacrifice of humanity's experience magic users that the tide finally turned.

XCOM | To the Bitter End

XCOM is by far one of my favorite game series to come out in a long time and I have always wanted to do an RP based around it, although I have a few changes in mind. The story of this RP will follow our characters as they are recruited into an organization investigating the sightings of strange creatures and the actions of terrorist cults that have sprung up across the world. This will eventually lead towards the alien invasion we see in XCOM: Enemy Unknown and humanity's fight for survival. The RP will ultimately end with the events of XCOM 2 and fighting in the resistance against the alien overlords. I will be using XCOM: UFO Defense and its XCOM Fils mod, XCOM: Enemy Within and its long war mod, and lastly XCOM 2 as the basis for the story-line. ALL DLC will be incorporated for the most part.

The RP will be done in a thread here on the forum so their rules will apply. While romance is fine by me, it will not be the focus of this RP. I do expect a couple paragraphs per post but I would rather have quality over a wall of text. Communication is an absolute must if you are going to be absent for more than a week. If this interests you, please PM so we can talk about it further.

Voltaire stopped mid-step and landed the airborne foot onto the stone floor with a bit of force, rolling his eyes as he heard someone calling out to him from behind. A quiet sigh left as he shuffled slowly around to face whoever it was that decided to play nice with him. It was WAY too early for him to be dealing with people let alone feint being friendly just to get whoever it was off his back. His head rose up to look at Vilkas with an expression one would expect from a grumpy old man "Voltaire." A bit of irritated state seeped into his voice "Like I would tell you that. I have literally just woken up, so forgive me if I am little irritable." The snark in his tone suggested he was anything but sorry for his attitude.

He had just got done speaking when Stephanie joined their little conversation and he couldn't hide the low groan as her pressed the side of his against his forehead "Great, another one." He said under his breath but did little to lower his voice enough not to be heard, although it was a relief that the two knew each other. That meant he could drop mister big and scaly off on her and he could continue his day as planned "Name's Voltaire. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm sure you can entertain each other well enough." A clearly forced smile accompanied a nod as he turned around once more to set out towards the mess hall. "For Arun's sake, people are freaking chatty in the morning." He mumbled to himself as he reached the stairs.

Voltaire was just happy the whatever the hell that tree thing was and the giant dog didn't come to speak to him as well. A majority of the residents here didn't mind sharing details about their past but he couldn't be more eager to forget it and move on. He wasn't here to wallow in self-pity or pretend there wasn't real problems out there that needed to be fixed. The sooner he ate and got his damn coffee the sooner he could start working on how to solve them. After all, people only really cared about themselves so why bother getting to know any of them. Everyone disappoints you eventually.

@Verticus

Everything looks good. Some of the wording could be fixed up, but otherwise its a great CS.
